London, Aug y, / a. m.-The streets are again
in possession Of mob, and Londoners are hav-
ing last good look at the coronation illumina-
tions. The police have gain wisely stopped all
vehicular traffic, but the main thoroughfares
from Piccadilly to the Bank of England are
crowded with sightseers, walking along in two
endless streams. There is, however, no crushing
or jostlng, and after the recent exhibitions it
comes somewhat a surprise to find how or
derly a London crowd can be. ''Mafflcking has
apparently become a lost art.
The King yesterday received the retiring min
listers and their successors at Buckingham
Palace, and held an investiture. There were
large throngs outside watching for glimpses of
the well known men and cheering Justify the
Prince of Wales
The coronation has served to render the Lon
don crowds more demonstrative in their greet
ings TO royalty than has been shown for long
period
Court officials are still employed in explaining
the bitches and delays in Saturdays cere-
monial and bits of the byplay behind the scenes
are disclosed.
One Of the pleasantest incidents was the
Kings solicitude for the Archbishop Of Canter-
bury when they met in the Confessor's Chapel
after the coronation. The Archbishop was seat
ed, and the King would not allow him TO rise,
but went up TO him and inquired anxiously
whether he had recovered from his temporary
weakness
When the naval review and the In7ian func-
tions are over there will be leisure for the bye
elections and agitation over the Education bill.
South African affairs have already fallen out
OF sight.
The Rev DR.. Newell Dwight Hills, Of Ply
mouth Church. Brooklyn, Will sail for America
on Thursday. after a holiday journey in Eng
land. Germany and Italy. He has conducted
small religious conference at the Hotel Cecil,
entertaining group of we'll known English and
American clergymen at supper, the Rev Dr..
Gunsaulus, of Chicago. being prominent among
them, and has been promoting a frank ex-
change of views in regard TO the Education
bill. The Nonconformist hostility to the easure
is steadily increasing in England. and is sup
ported by an organized agitation among the
official school boards, whose existence is threat
ened by the legislation in favor Of church
schools and Tory squires.
Congressman Cornelius Amory Pugsley, hav-
ing arrived in London too late TO witness the
coronation is planning journey to Holland
and Germany. He has not run away from New
York politics. but is too discreet to say anything
about the coming elections.
Major Freenantle and his team of marksmen
leave Liverpool for Canada to-day TO represent
Great Britain in the international competition
for the Palm trophy.
The imperial conference has virtually closed
its work and the results Of the informal dis
cussion Will be embodied in an official synopsis
issued by the Colonial Secretary. As in 1891,
there will be a scrupulous avoidance Of contro-
,ersial questions and academic declarations.
Many points of more practical work have been
accomplished outside than within the confer
ence, and the colonial Premiers and ministers
have approached one another with broadmnd
cd fexibity in exchanging views on tariff re-
vision, shipping policies and military and naval
defence. The utility of the conference has been
demonstrated in this way.
There is slow drift in the open sea toward
imperial fedora ton, but land is yet in sight.
The King is pleased with the manner in which
all the arrangements for the pageant and cere-
rnonial of the coronation were carried out. Per
sonal letters Of appreciation have been sent from
buckingham Palace to the heads of the various
departments concerned
The government has decided upon thorough
investigation of the alleged overcrowding scan
dals on board of transports.
Preparations have already been made for
Ceiving the Boer leaders Botha, De Wet and
Delarey, who will arrive next Saturday at
guished visitors viii be met by Colonial Office
authorities and also by Lord Kitchener, and
will be conducted on board the special steamer
which has been chartered for the notable guests
at the naval review. They will be spectators Of
the review, and will in the evening sail round
the ships to witness the iIluminatons. They
will sleep at night on board this vessel. and on
the following day they will be received by the
King on board the royal yacht.
The resignation of Dean Bradley, whose in
frrnity was painfully evident on Saturday.
when he wellnigh dropped the chalice at the
coronation service, will offer to the new Prime
Minister the first chance for making an &C
clesiasticaI appointment and disclosing his pref
erences in churchnanship. IF he have any
preference for a broad churchman, the incum-
bent will probably be selected from among the
with recent traditions at Westminster. although
the trend of churchmanshp at the Abbey has
been rising with the increasing Influence Of
Archdeacon Wilberforce and Canon Duckworth
