Kingdom having been bound either
with. Sweden or Denmark since the
fourteenth century. No attempt
was made to initiate the picturesque
coronation ceremony of the old vi
king Kings. Everything was car
ried out with the utmost simplicity
in this respect, resembling more
closely the Inauguration of an
American President than a royal
pageant.
The people were awakened today
for the great occasion by the firing
of salutes by all the warships in
the harbor. Royal salutes, fred in
honor of the new King, they were,
and they served the purpose of
bringing out the populace in a
hurry. The streets within ; short
time were filed TO overfowing with
enthusiastic Norwegians and thou
sands of sightseers who are here to
witness the ceremony. The weather
was showery, but the decorations
had not suffered much, and even the
rain could not dampen the enthusi-
asm of the people, so that the fes-
tvities were soon in full swing.
Town Thronged With Tourists.
Trondhjem was selected for the coco-
nation because all the old viking kings
were elected and crowned here. 1t IS a
town OF about 10000 peonle. and Il was
crowded almost beyond endurance
Thousands OF tourists from all parts OF
Europe have been floating into the city
during the last twenty-four hours, and
this morning 1t was almost impossible
to move about the streets. SO dense was
the throng. Several delegations from
the United States attended the ceremony
as official representatives Of Norwegians

was from Chicago and numbered six.

SMITH WILL REPRESENT
HAWAIIAN COFFEE GROW

hA w Allan COf EE OhO w Etto
Coffee growers of Hawaii have de-
cided to send Jared Smith, director of
the Federal Experiment Station, to
Washington to fight for tariff on cof-
fee. Mr.. Smith will leave on the s. s..
Manchuria, sailing on February Is. He
will be absent from the islands about
two months, spending all the time pos
sible in Washington. During his abb
sence Messrs. Higgins and Van Dine
will run the experiment station.
There are about twenty coffee grow
ers in the islands. There is no cof-
fee growers association, but acting in
concert they have agreed that 1T Is best
for the future of Hawaiian coffee that
the fight for a tariff on coffee imported
into the United States from countries
not under the American flag is neces-
sary. The whole proposition is to give
coffee the same protection that sugar
now enjoys. A tariff of from three to
five cents per pound is asked.
The growers claim that with the
competition of Central and. South
American coffee there is no profit in
coffee grown in the islands. Porto
Rico is already largely represented at
Washington making a strong fight for
a coffee tariff. Governor Winthrop is
at the head of this delegation. r
