PoLIcY-HoLDERs TO ORGANIZE.
Insured of Transatlantic VIII Incor-
porate 10 Force Settlement.

A movement has been started 10 or
ganize the policy-holders Of the Trans
atlantic Fire Insurance Company 1t is
likely that the insured will meet and
form themselves into a corporation,
with a board of managing directors so
that they will be better able to protect
their rights and TO secure some sort of
a settlement from the insurance cor
poration.
Very few of the policy holders of the
Transatlantic have been paid, II, In
deed, any losses have been settled. Hun
dreds of the policy-holders, believing
that the company can never pay its
enormous San Francisco losses. and
having received no encoura cement of
immediate settlement have turned
their policies over to attorneys for col
lection. Others have appealed TO at
torneys to, help them organize a, cor
poration. The Transatlantic has cap
ital and surplus of about 100000 and
estimated losses of 100000.
The meeting of the insured of the
Transatlantic will probably be held
some time next week. 1t is proposed
to get together along the same lines as
those adopted by the policy-holders Of
the defunct Traders Insurance Com
pany of Chicago. A board of directors
will be selected and the policies OF as
many as desire to come into such an or
eanization will be turned over to the
board for collection.
The directors of the Traders Policy
holders Company will meet at the Of
fee of Campbell, Metson & Campbell
this morning. The affairs of the in
corporated policy holders will be taken
up. officers will be elected shortly and
the work of ascertaining the amount
of money that can be secured from the
defunct company and its stockholders
will be begun.

Minister Arctander Jointly handed the
King the orb, and later the War Min
lister, OLSON, and the Bishop handed the
sword of state to his Majesty. These
ceremonies were followed by the bene-
diction.
The King, having taken his seat on
the throne, the Queen was crowned
by the same high personages and in q
similar manner. The ceremony
throughout was impressive.
When the newly crowned sovereigns
returned to their thrones after the
benediction all the royal guests and
special ambassadors saluted them with
deep reverence.
At the termination Of the proceed
ings the President of the Storthing
called out, God save the King and
Queen" and the wohle distin nguished
company heartily took up the cry
Grouped around the Kings throne
during the ceremony was the Crown
Prince and Crown Princess Christian
of Denmark, Prince Harold OF Denmark
and Prince Henry of Prussia, while
about the Queens throne were the
Prince and Princess of Wales. Princess
Victoria of England and Grand Duke
Michael of Russia.
The completion of the crowning of
King Haakon was communicated by
two army signalers, wig -wagging
across the city from the cathedral to
the hill batteries. The first gun an
nouncing the tidings doomed forth in
stantly and then there was a roar Of
guns from the ships and land batteries
and the bells of all the city churches
began ringing. The sounds carried the
tidings over the city and thereabouts
and the reports were carried up and
down the fjord.
The ceremony of crowning King
Haakon and Queen Maud was striking
and somber in its simplicity. Their
MaJesties looked exceedingly we'll and
took likely interest In every part OF the
impressive ceremony. King Haakon

Nothing occurred throughout the GER
emony to cause the principal partici-
pants the slightest uneasiness. The
King was Thoroughly composed
throughout. The crown. although re-
duced In size since II was used by King
Oscar, proved to be large for King
Haakon and failed to confer dignity on
the monarch, but he maintained his
composure despite the fact that the
crown threatened to fall over his ears
Queen Maud looked attractive in her
royal robes and diamond collar. She
bowed graciously on either side when
she advanced to the throne TO receive
her crown. The Queen and her ladies
in waiting were simply gowned There
were no court trains and they had no
feathers in their hair. There were few
elaborate toilets among the audience.
On their return TO the palace the
King and Queen received the congrat-
ulations of a deputation from the
Storthing and the members of the Gov
ernment. Later the vast throng out
side the palace broke out into hearty
cheers in response to their Majesties
appearance at a window still wearing
their coronation robes.

The situation is further complicated by

The losses Of the Palatine are esti-
mated at S1.9O5-926 the Alliance at

might be expected from these COM

reply that liability was neither being
