LONDON, June 20-Blarins bands
and flashing uniforms of $1,000 sol
diers descended upon London today,
giving decided military tinge 20 the
preparations for the coronation.
The coming Of the soldiers brought
countless thousands of sightsscrs to
the streets and the wrost street jam
yet experienced resulted. The soldiers
marched to the various parks where
they will be encamped until tho end
of the week
The king and queen this afternoon
received all of the visiting foreign
ENJOYS with imperial state at Buck
ingham palace The broad roads
leading to the entrances were lined
with the members of the guards, their
brilliant uniforms set of with glitter
ing brasses which reflected the rays
OF the scorching sun.
Through this lane OF armed men
rolled the magnificent state equip
ages, up-to-date automobiles and won
derful private carriages on the
cushions OF which reposed In seem
ingly bored state the gorgeously uni
formed potentates. princes and pri-
vate citizens who represent the ma
tions of the world at the investment
OF England's king.
Behind the long line OF soldiers,
pressing against their backs and gaz-
ing open-mouthed at the wonderfully
picturesque spectacle presented, were
thousands OF the poorest OF England's
citizenship. The lanes and byways or
the great city seemed to have given
up all OF their denizens and they held
points OF vantage In the park and
along the roadways which they had
taken under cover OF the night.
Many came to view the spectacle
but the majority were there frankly
to beg. AS the carriages rolled along
their whining opportunities filled the
air. Many gave freely, tossing coins
over the heads OF the tall guardsmen
to the gebrimed, appealing hands
outstretched toward them.
Others sat bolt upright in their
equipages, paying no attention to the
appeals or the showers OF vitupera
tion that marked their failure to dis
tribute coins as was expected.
Owing TO the closing OF street traf-
&c and the general suspension OF
business on June %, II will be prac-
tically impossible to procure provi-
sions at this time. Hotels, restau-
rants and private houses are there
