So Secretary Hay, who has already
accomplished the best portion of the
work to be done in treaty making,
and has it before him in the shape of
protocol submitted to the last session
of congress, has taken steps to give
this the form of a. treaty, and to have
it signed formally by accredited rep
resentatives of the government of Co.
lumbia and of the United States, so
that the convention may be laid be-
fore the senate as soon as it convenes

WANTS 1T OVER WITH.
King Edward Presses for Early Day
for Carrying Out of Coronation
Ceremonies.

London, July 9.-The news that the
coronation of King Edward was to be
held before the middle of August was
published in America before il was
known here. But the London Times
and other papers confirm the press
announcements. From the same excel
lent source the press learned Tuesday
that the pressing forward of the COR
onation was due to the personal in
sistence of the king. His doctors were
at first opposed to such an early date,
but the king declined to agree to any
other plans, until he is crowned, and
the doctors, finally realizing that more
danger was likely to arise in opposing
his majesty on this point, agreed to
it. They now see the king was right,
and that it will be far better for him
to get through the turmoil of the
coronation as soon as possible, than to
have it hanging over him for months.

And. as she kneels beside each bed,

Or sits in fancy by the side of each

Him who was stricken for our sins

From out each captive's mournful face

What wonder, then, that softly. in the
