Our Representation at Coronation.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 4.-It Is un-
derstood that way may be found by
which two naval officers of high rank
will take part In the coronation cere
monies at London. The question of
selecting officers for this service has
not yet been considered by the presi.
dent Or the secretary of the navy. but
the prospect that such selections will
he made has caused much speculation
in naval circles. The present indica-
tons are that the president will select
a civilian representative for the coro-
nation and also one officer Of the army
and one officer Of the navy to accom-
pany this civilian. Quite apart from
this, the navy will be represented by
a squadron in English waters, with a
rear admiral in command. The effect
of this arrangement will be to place
two naval officers of high rank in serv-
ice in connection with the coronation.

garianded with smilax, maidenhair
fern and asparagus trimmed with bOu-
quets of carnatiOn. More than a mile
OF green festo0ning was used In this
way.
The window recesses were filled with
palms rising out of banks of variegat-
ed foliage. The mantels were banked
with roses and azalias set in tropical
crotOns and crowned above with screw
pines. English holly was used in pro-
fusion in the decorations. The red.
green and blue parlors also were
adorned on the same lavish scale.
When the guests arrived at the
White House. they were conducted to
the blue parlor, where the presenta-
tions were made. Mrs. Roosevelt intro

Chiefs of Departments Report on New

Two representatives of the st. Louis
Worlds Fair have just returned to
that city from a trip of 1000 miles,
visiting eight states, sixteen important
cities, and conferred with seven gov
errors. Frederic w. Taylor, chief of
the department of agriculture, acting
chief OF the department of horticul-
ture, and Charles NJ. Reeves, secre-
tary Of jhe committee on legislation,
and give most encouraging news of the
active intcrest in the exposition to be
found throughout those parts of the
west over which they travelled.
I'VE stopped first at Albuquerque, N.
H., said Mr.. Taylor, where we met
Governor Miguel Otero and held a
meeting with the New Mexico commits
sion. who are alive to the Importance
of the exposition. Let me say here
that throughout III trip We found that
the exposition was regarded strictly
from a business standpoint. While the
people of the west have an abundance
of patriotic sentiment and civic pride
and believe in the great educational
value of the exposition, they look upon
the opportunity which the worlds fair
at st. Louis will offer as a business
proposition of very great Importance
to them n purpose to make the full
est of it. Our conference with the
commissioners proved to u satisfac-
ton that New Mexico would make a
strong showing of her mining inter
ests. her agricultural and horticul-
tural aud a considerable dis
play of her forestry products. The
plans of the commission are well or
ganized. and we have reason to look
for 4 splendid representation.
