WESTMINSTER ABBEY.

for the restoration of the Kings health as
a display of ostentatious rover and pride.
Salutes from the Tower o. London and
the guns at Hyde Park al 4:30 a. m.
doomed out welcome to coronation day.
The sunrise guns found many people on
the streets. some of whom had not lain
down all night, and many others who had
been lying on the grass in the parks all
night close to the route where the process
sion is to pass. The weather was cloudy
and lowering.
The superstitious dread of some further
disaster to cause another postponement
of the ceremonies would not down and
served to mar the spirit of the day. The
King himself was as nervous in this re-
gard as the most superstitious of his reo-
pie. Despite his recovered health the
strain of waiting had been heavy upon
him, and il is said that he slept little
during Friday night and rose before 4
O'clock.
Little of the elaborate street prepara-
tons made upon the previous occasion
were to be seen. and in place of the miles
of streets hung with gorgeous decora-
tons and flanked by bulwark of stands
there was but the small distance between

Abbey in which any sign of a great COM
ing event could be discerned. The sight
seeing public looked in vain for the blaze
of barbaric splendor which was so inn
pressiye during the few days before the
date previously set for the coronation,
for the foreign embassies had gone to
their homes, Ras Mekonnen. the special
ambassador of King Menelek, king Of
Abyssinia, being the only exception to
this rule. The main thoroughfares, miles
of which were gay with flags and bunt-
ing in June, were stripped except for the
Illumination fixtures which were allowed
to remain in place. Cheapside, Fleet
street and the Strand all told contained
scarcely six decorated buildings.

President May Call the Senate to Meet
in November.
There is a strong probability that presi-
dent Roosevelt will call the Senate in ex-
traordinary session early in November
Ever since it became evident that nothing
would be done TO give reciprocity to Cuba
at the recent session Of Congress rumors
of more or less definite nature have
been in circulation that the President
would call an extra session either of the
entire Congress to enact Cuban reel
proeity legislation or Of the Senate TO rat
ify, If possible, a reciprocal treaty with
Cuba, During the last week II has peen
stated in Washington that 1t was the in.
tenticu Of President Roosevelt 20 call a
speciai session Of the Senate early in Sep
tember. A correspondent says however,
that it can be stated with authority that
he has no sneh intention His time and
that Of many members Of both political
parties will be occupied during September
and October Ii is understood 10 be the
belief Of the President that a session OF
the Senate to ratify d reciprocity treaty
would be much more likely 10 be fruitful
of results II held after the November cleo
lions than IL held before.
A treaty with Cuba practically has been
prepared. 1t requires only the finishing
touches and the signatures OF Minister
Qnesada and Secretary of State Hay to
make it ready for presentation to the
Senate.
No date. II Is understood, has been fixed
for the session In November but that 1t
will be soon after the election Is reason
ably certain. The President, II Is said,
hopes to have the reciprocity question
cleared away entirely before the regular
session of Congress
