ABBEY TICKETS OUT.
Admission Cards For Coronation Are
Not Dated, However.
THIS CAUSES MUCH GOSSIP.
RumOrs of Relapse and of a Sec
Ond Operation ON His Majesty
Are Again AhOat. hut Are
vigorously Denied.

London. July 3o.--The admission
tickets to the abbey ceremony of the
coronation have just been issued. They
bear no date and are worticd simply,
THE coronation of their najesties.
1902
The tickets are causing considerable
| comment. as they show the official I'M
certainty as to whether ii may not be
necessary to Il. ain postpone the core
mony.
The king will he crowned on Aug. .
unless his physicians absolutely forbid
it. The king insists upon the corona
ton OH that date even If he has to he
carried through the whole ceremony.
This. it is almost certain. will have
to be done. and already sort of sedan
chair has been constructed for the
purpose.
Runors Of relapse. of second
operation, of Il recrudesccnce of the
kings malady and of IL postponement
of the coronation are again atoat.
The truth, it is said, is that the king
is far from WE'LL that his physicians
do not favor the coronation at such an
early date, but that the king insists on
it, fearing Il second operation and that
the physicians have acquiesced, be-
lieving the mental worriment caused
by opposition might be worse for the
king than the ceremony.
If a second operation is performed,
it is said that the appendix will be re-
moved.
Mobiles to Carry Him.
If the king is carried through the
coronation ceremony, his sedan chair
will not be borne into the abbey by
servants or soldiers, but by four no
blemen, who will be selected as much
for their strength as for their rank.
Despite all rumors, the kings physi-
clans declare that their patient is do
ing as well as can be expected and
that there is no cause of alarm. Mean
time preparations for the coronation
are going forward. but it has been
subject of much comment that no po-
lice regulations or directions have vet
been issued for Aug. 8. the new date
for the coronation. This. taken in con-
nection with the rumors about the
kings health. has kept the public from
buying seats in any quantities along
the route Of the procession.
|. There are to be rehearsals in West
minister abbey on the Thursday and
Friday preceding the day e the cere-
mony. but the putting OF. of this very
important preliminary work until just
before the day fixed has also helped to
increase the doubt that Is extremely
prevalent in the public mind.
Even personal friends of the king
have said that they do not see how
his majesty can be ready for the ordeal
on the 9th even though the ceremony
be curtailed to an hour or an hour and
a quarter.

WEAVERs' STRIKE STILL ON,
Hitch In Settlement Caused by Re-

Philadelphia, July 30.-The strike o.
rug weavers, which after having been
in progress ten weeks was believed to
have been settled, is still on. None of
the mills affected by the conflict has
resumed operations, though the wage
scale has been agreed upon.
The new obstacle to an amicablc
adjustment is one nonunion workman
employed by William T. Smith & Co.
The firm declined to discharge him at
the request of the union officials. ana
the strikers refused to return to their
looms at that mill.
All the other plants We're ready to re-
sumo operations, but when it became
known that Smith & Co. would NOT
resume the other companies announced
their intention of keeping their facto.
ries closed for the present. About !, 600
