John Hays Hammond. Americas spe-
cial ambassador for King Georges cor
onation, is expected tomorrow from
America with his secretary and family.
His arrival has been anticipated by
Whitelaw Reid. the American Ambassa-
dor who has arranged for presenting
him TO the King at the earliest possible
moment and for obtaining for him I'M
mediate courtesies from the three court
officials appointed to minister to his com

Washington government at the opening
% the war with Spain in defeating the
meddlesome intrigues of Continental
mediation.

hotels. and there is continuous hospi-
tality at Dorchester House for promi-
nent visitors.

not likely that more than dozen Amer
leans. apart from the embassies and the
eight correspondents of the New York
and Chicago press. will obtain seats.
Charles F. Taft will be specially
favored i'm this respect, and Andrew
Carnegie and j. Pierpont Morgan can
have places il they want them. but

/ have no chance at all for admission.

after fnding out that the royal process
sions alone are within their range, will

tours in the United Kingdom.
Among the American visitors are d. w
Barringer, Charles Carroll, r. a. West
Henry Crosby Emery, Judge Nicoll
