4 survival Of an ancient custom Of sacring or
6allowing the kings. From the standpoint Of the
public at large the actual placing Of the crown
upon the monarch's head is the most important
feature Of the ceremony. But from the stand
point Of the ceremony's meaning Of symbolism,
the service Of JUNCTION Is perhaps the most note
worthy And then, too. there is that moment In
the festivity-for such 1t really is In spite of its
religious setting when the king leaves the chair
that he occupies at the start, to sit upon Eng
lands throne, ruler Of the United Kingdom and
Of her dominions over the seal

Then, too. the coronation is not merely testify
ity. It Is something more, much more. For 1t

anything that the modern world has
seen. The pomp and pageantry will
not make him one whit more the
ruler Of his millions; It will not add
one jot or title to his power. But
the coronation is a pageant his peo-
pie await with no slight degree of ex-
citement, that the whole world would
60 forth to see.
Then. being crowned ruler Of Great
Britain and Ireland, he will visit In
dia, with his queen consort, and there
be proclaimed and crowned emperor.
He Is the first ruler of Britain's en-
pire Of India to go to that distant do
minion to receive the symbol Of his
office. In previous reigns the crown
ing has been by proxy and the vice
roy of India has held 1t as one of the
privileges Of his exalted Office that,
for brief space, at a demonstration
almost barbaric in its splendor he
could stand in the stead Of his sire
and receive the homage due the actual
emperor. The kingdom of make-be-
lieve is to go. George, Imperator ct
Rex, will himself receive the fealty
of his distant dominion. And what
rush Of native potentates there will
be to claim places near the throne of
the great white king!

Ottawa, Ont, Nov 1.-THE Duke of Con-
naught to-day solved the difficulty regard
Ing the presentation Of the consuls general
at the viceregal drawing rooms by a very
gracious exercise OF his royal prerogative.
He has taken them from the bottom of the
list and put them at the top, and for the
first time on Saturday night the consuls
general resident here and in Montreal will
appear at the drawing rooms The New
York Tribune was the only newspaper on
the whole continent to point out the fact
that the publication Of the old table of
precedence last Saturday made it impos-
sible for the consuls general to attend his
royal highness's first drawing room and to
cali attention to the fact that the presence
of the consuls general at the drawing room
could be assured only by some action on
the part Of the duke himself
Notwithstanding the publication Of the
old table of precedence the duke to-day by
very simple. straightforward act gave to
the foreign officials a standing far higher
than they had ever pretended to. He is
sued through his aide-de-camp this after

The duke could not change the long
standing regulations OF the Colonial Office
which gave 10 special place to the consuls
general and placed them in a class with
a number OF minor officials, so he resorted
to the expedient Of holding a special audi

all Others. His action means that here
after the consuls will be given high place
at drawing rooms. Moreover it fixes their
social status in Canada on the highest
plane. Ii was hoped and believed that
the duke would do something 20 end what
has long been regarded as an unfortunate
