Canadian Memorial to Be Redecorated
For Coronation.

New York, July 23.-Overzealous po-
lice officials will not succeed in secur-
ing the removal of the Canadian arch
as public nuisance from whitehall,
says a London dispatch to the Tribune.
The coronation committee of the city
of Westminster has authorized Com
missioner Preston toredecorate the arch
and illuminate it on coronation night.
Otherwise there will be no public
scheme of decoration for the streets in
accord with King Edwards wishes.
There is no sign of a revival of specula-
tive activity in the sale of seats. nor
win it be possible to obtain high prices
without a. guarantee of return of the
money in the event of a second post
ponement.
There will be a large number of abb
senteeS among the peers at the Abbey
service. Many are without houses in
London, and are frightened by the cost
of livery for coronation day, since they
cannot drive to the abbey in cabs, but
munst go in splendid state.
1t is reported the king will not re-
turn to Lendon before August Z and
that he will return to Cowes two days
after the coronation.
