ness In prosecuting improvements. In
some cases appropriations we're made
several years ago. but nothing yet has
been done. In others which were pro-
yided for In tho bill OF June. 1902. the

His comparison Of the 800 years Of
cruelty and oppression by Spain in the

country with those islands, is far
fetched and shows he is willing TO put
his own country in a bad light and
give Uncle Sam the worst Of il. Uncle
Sam has through all his Presidents,

war fen into bis hands, expressed only

To Grown King Peter.

Vienna, Sept 20.-A dispatch from
Belgrade says: The Servian capital is
en- fete for the coronation of King
Peter tomorrow. The decorations are
now practically complete, and, in addi.
tion to the route which the coronation
procession will follow tomorrow, many
other streets have been profusely
adorned with flags and bunting. The
facades of many houses are almost hid

white cloth, and their occupants have
hung multi-colored tapestries many of
them beautifully embroideried- and
other such objects from the windows
and balconies. The national cOlors ev.
erywhere predominate.
There are many country folk in town
and picturesque groups of peasants are
parading the streets. The men are in
quaint costumes embroidered waist.

big silver buttons. The women are
dressed in the brightest colors, with
embroidered shawls on their heads or
flowers INTERVENING in their hair.
The coronation program is TO be for

will bear the crown in state TO the
cathedral, where it will be received by
the metropolitan archbishop in full
eanonieals, and placed on the altar He
will then conduct an elaborate service,
which will be duplicated in all the
churches of Servia.
The program for tomorrow will be-

At noon precisely King Peter will leave
the palace and proceed TO the cathe-

with troops, while the king will be un-
