~HRIsTIANIA, May 2s.-Altho it
4 is at Trondhjem, 562 kilometers
- from Christiania, that the corona
ton is to take place on June %, 1T is
plain that the approach OF TN tins greao
this city. Citizens are busy hunting
up friends with enough influence, to Sc,
! cure tickets of admission to the old
cathedral on that day. For what Is
the use going to Trondhjem unless you
get near enough to see the crowns
placed on the royal heads. On this,
like on all similar occasions, the num-
Der of disappointed will undoubtedly
exceed that of the satisfied by far. And
then the hotel accommodation is another
serious problem. According to cur
rent reports, prices range from so kron-
er ($1S.4O) down to everyday rate tor
q room a day.
A great number of tourist steamers
will be there, and they will all keep
land alone four such steamers will, make
Trondhiem their port Of destination at
that time. Of royal visitors the fol-
lowing have announced their arrival SO
far: The Prince and Princess OF
Wales, Crown Prince Christian OF Den
mark, Grand Duke Michael Alexandro-
vitz Of Russia and Prince Henry Of Ger
many.
America will, Of course, be properly
represented, officially by Mr.. Peirce. the
" feT by n long list lis Of weliInown Ameri
cans. Mr.. and Mrs. Nicholas Long
worth are said to have engaged quarters
at Trondhjem for the occasion. Pier
pont Morgan Is likewise reported as be-
Inc due in the harbor Of Trondhiem
with his yacht " Corsair' around coro-
nation time
Emperor William will arrive in Ber-
pen. July 4, on his annual visit to Nor
way.
The Royal Fanily's Route.
The schedule for the trip Of the
royal family from Christiania to Trond'

main parts. The king, queen and their

The coronation committee is now har
at work making out the program i

The Journal man will not be mis-
ing either, at least I hope to be able
get there.

chilly wind. Despite all such chang
