FIRST DAY OF TaE FESTIVAL
London Busy with Receptions to Foreign
Guests of the King.

London. June 24.-Looking not a bit
like a dyirg man, or even sick man,
King Edward and his queen arrived
in London at noon yesterday and was
driven to buckingham palace. He was
heartily welcomed by monster crowds
all along the route The day was large
ly devoted to the greeting of the COM
ing guest-princes and notables from
all over Europe. The Prince of Wales
had a very busy day receiving the
royal guests related to his family who
arrived
The enormous and daily growing
crowds and the Babel of foreign
tongues in London may, perhaps. be
considered, so far, the most striking
feature of the coronation festivities.
The crowds were so great last night
in Trafalgar square and in the various
thoroughfares leading from this point
that the OnfnibuSeS found it almost
impossible to proceed.
None of the special ENJOYS who ar
rived here yesterday, though they in
cluded princes of the greatest Euro
pean dynasties, aroused as much inter-
est as did Ras Makonnen, the Abys-
sinian general and special representa-
tive of King Menelik. In picturesque
ness and barbarian splendor the Ethi-
opian commander and bis suite paled
even the brilliancy of the Orient
princes.
King Edward and Queen Alexandra
gave a grand dinner party last night
at buckingham palace to seventy roy
al personages who practically repre-
sented the sovereigns of all the mon
arches of the world.
Joseph Chamberlain, the colonial
secretary. and Mrs. Chamberlain (whO
was Miss Mary Endicott, Of Massa.
chusetts) received the colonial pre-
miers and other distinguished visitors
from Great Britain's colonies at their
London residence last evening.

Fear Grows That He Will Not Be
Able to Be Crowned.
ILLNESS CONSIDERED GRAVE
European Royalties Begin to Arrive in
London to Take Part in
the Coronation.

LONDON, June %, 4 A. M-The
British public is in a state of
panic over the persistent reports
that the king will be unable to
attend the coronation on Thurs
day because of i'll health. This
fear has been intensified by the
increased premium on the kings
life demanded by the insurance
companies.
This general feeling of anxiety
is accentuated by the fact that
no medical bulletins have been
issued. In the absence of a de-
tailed denial it is generally ac-
cepted that his majesty's condi-
ton is serious.
A prominent member of the
kings household is responsible
for the statement that the first
symptom OF his naJesty's illness
was fainting fit. Two others
have admitted that his sickness
was more serious than the public
was led to believe.
1t is regarded with some sig
nifcance that DIR. Barlow, the
famous specialist, has taken up
his residence at Windsor castle,
where he still remains. 1t is said
in explanation of this that it was
simply decided to leave no pre-
caution unobserved for the safe
guarding OF the king in the three
days trying ordeal at the end of
the week.
1t is further admitted that the
king has become somewhat ner-
vous about himself, result of
his everlasting his strength for
the past few weeks AS he has
great confidence in DR. Ba low,
the latter has remained at Wind
sor more as a companion than a
physician.
There is not much doubt, ac-
cording TO the present informa
ton, that the king will be able
to return to Buckingham palace
tomorrow. 1t seems probable
also that some authoritative
statement will be issued in a
day or two in order to quiet the
most alarming reports.
King Edward yesterday morn
ing attended divine service, ac-
companied by other members of
the royal family Last evening
he enjoyed drive through the
royal gardens of Windsor castle
in closed carriage.
The arrival of European royal
ties to attend the coronation be-
gan yesterday. The streets from
Victoria station to Buckingham
palace and Park lane, where
some of the visitors are lodged
in private residences, were
thronged with curious sightseers.
The crowds readily made way
for the royal carriages, whose
relocated coachmen were the
only indication of the status of
the occupants, all of whom wore
ordinary clothes. The platform
at Victoria station was covered
with a red carpet, while the sta
ton itself was decorated with
| flags and palms.

MAHoN CALLS UP ANDERsoNvILLI
Question Raised as to Where Most Prison
ers Died.

When Mahon got the floor he de-
clared that the alleged cruelties of the
Philippines war were not to be CON-
pared with the barbarities of the civil
war. He read from the official reports
tales of the horrors suffered by the I'm
ION prisoners at AndersOnville.
"Dc lot the official figures show" in
terrul Ted Richardson, the Democratic
leader, that a greater percentage of
Confederate prisoners died in north
ern than Union prisoners in southern
CrisonS!
Il have the official figures here,'' re-
sponde0 Mahon. Il will put them in
the records" He read an order to shoot
the prisoners at Andersonville if the
Union army got within seven miles Of
the Ilisop.
IF the north was justly indignant
over the atrocities ut Andersonville," /"
interrupted Neville of Nebraska, why
should not the American people how
be indignant over the brutalities in the
Philippines! Why parade the civil war
as an excuseY democratic applause. !
while the Union prisoners were
suffering at AndersOnville, interposed
Richardson. did not the Confederate
government have up standing order
to exchange these prisoners, officer for
officer, man for man? And was not
that proposition rejected?"
"Yes. But the men i'm Andersonville
were broken. emaciated, many of them
maniacs. The north refused to ex-
change able-bodied men for men who
could not perform military service" re-
piled Mahon.
'I ask again." interrupted Richard
son, "did not more Confederate prison
ers die in Union prisons than Union
prisoners in southern prisons?"
II deny it, and will put the reports
in the record"
''It is true, and can prove it." as
serted Richardson.
you want the south to support the
government in prosecuting the war in
the Philippines" interposed Neville;
''why do you now seek to besmirch the
south?" democratic applause.]
Il do not desire to besmirch the
SOUTH" responded Mahon. Il only de-
sire to show, as General Sherman de-
clared, that war is hell"
At the night session Bartlett of
Georgia replied to the remarks made
at the afternoon session by General
Grosven0r and Mahon as to the treat
nIent Of Union prisoners detained in
Confederate prisons. To prove his
statement that a greater percentage
of Confederate soldiers died in Union
prisons than did Union soldiers in Con-
federate prisons, he produced the fig
ures from Secretary Stanton's report
of July is, 1866, showing that Of 220,-
600 Confederate prisoners in Union
prisons, 26,576, or over ~ per cent,
died, against 22,576, or about per
cent, of the 10000 Union prisoners
who died in Confederate prisons.

extend freedom, in the fullest sense,
to those with whom they differ.

MITCHELL APOLOGY
What Some Mine Operators Think
OF His Statement for
the S rkers.
OLYPHANT BRIEF IN HIS eoMMENT
AntagoniZe-Wa aiting for the
West to Speak.

New York, June 24-President II.
M. Olyphant, of the Delaware and
Hudson company, yesterday made the
following comment on the statement
of President Mitchell, of the United
Mine Workers, issued in reply to that
of the operators, in which the CORE
spondence leading Up to the strike
was made public: ''Mitchel's state
ment is misleading and unreliable as
poses to call out the bituminous miners
and paralyze the entire industries of
the country he will find that he has
taken upon his shoulders a job bigger
than he is able to cope with.
Seems Very Sure of Victory.
''There viii be no arbitration, that
is certain. We will operate our mines
again with the men that are OH strike
now. They will be only too glad to
come back, and no strike leader will
be able to keep them out" Olyphant
declined to enter into any detailed de-
nial of the assertions made by PreSi
dent Mitchell.
Comment at Nilkesbarre.
WilkeSbarre, Pa, June 24.-Inde-
pendent operators and superintendent
We're interviewed yesterday on Presi-
dent Mitchell's address to the public.
None of the officials seen would per-
NIT his name to be used, and there is
no one in the region who is authorized
to make a statement or give an opin-
ion for the big coal companies. One
superintendent whose views were sim
liar to the others said: president
Mitchell touched on only one of the
four demands made by his union, and
that one was on the question of wages.
He did not say anything on the uni
form wage scale, the weighing of coal
at ali mines, or the recognition of the
union. These are vital points on which
the companies are making a strong
stand.
transportation of Hard Coal.
I'm speaking of the alleged eXorbi-
t2nt freight rates on hard coal Mr..
Mitchell failed to state that the cost
Of loading anthracite coal is much
greater than the handling of soft coal.
There is only one kid of soft coal,
but nearly a dozen s. es of hard pro-
duct. 1t takes a great deal of work
and time to sort the sizes and get them
on the cars ,-r,
As To The Size of the Ton.
The superintendent went on to say:
''The assertion that the miner does
not get paid for all the coal he mines
is not true. The miner is paid for a
2,24O-pOund ton, and he has to send to
the surface on an average of 2,700 to
5000 pounds of coal, slate and other
impurities to get the ton of pure coal.
Only about 10 per cent. of the coal
production is paid for by weight, the
other 80 per cent. teing paid by meas
ure."
Average Pay of Miners.
The superintendent added that
MitchellS statement that the mine
workers receive an average of 81. AZ
for a ten-hOur day is not a fair one.
In finding this average, he said, the
wages of boys-who make up between
80 and 40 per cent. of the 147, 800 per-
sons spoken of in the statement-are
included.
