A REVIEW OF THE
DAY'S CEREMONIES
All Do Honor to Buler of Great
Britain Archbishop of Canterbury
Nearly Faints While Ceremony
Takes Place Large Crowds Wit
ness the Street Parade Honors for
"Bobs" and Kitchener.
By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Prcs,
London, Aug. 10. Edward VIII, R. I.,
by the grace of God, of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland,
and of the British Dominions beyond
the Seas, King, Defender of the Faith,
t Emperor of India, was yesterday
crowned without hitch or harm, and
tonight London Is noisily celebrating
the event, for which the world has
waited as, perhaps, it never waited any
other coronation.
In all respects the celebration was
Impressive, and It was carried out with
a perfection of detail and lack of acci
dents that has previously marked such
displays. The pride of empire, which
marked Queen Victoria's Jubilee, wns
lacking, and In Its stead there pervaded
among all classes a keen recollection
that only six weeks ago the king lay In
danger of death. This fact produced
thankfulness and genuine sympathy
for the man, rather than adulation for
the king, and this feeling was voiced
by the Archbishop of Canterbury, when
he inserted in one of the coronation
prayers the words "For whose recov
ery we now give Thee heartfelt thanks."
This' did not prevent the public from
voicing Its appreciation of each mili
tary display as the short procession
gave to them a chance to see.
Greetings Paid to "Bobs."
Earl Roberts, commander-in-chief of
the forces, was once more the hero of
the hour, and, next to the king him
self, received the heartiest welcome of
. the assembled crowds. "Here comes
good old 'Bobs," was invariably the
signal for all the reserve power of Brit
ish lungs to be brought Into play. Lord
Roberts rode alone, and constantly
' bowed and smiled acknowledgments of
his greeting. Lord Kitchener was not
so easily recognized, but he was seen
as he rode with General Sir Alfred
Gaselce and Admiral Sir Edward Hob
art Seymour, and was the crowd's next
favorite.
At various points along the route of
the procession Lord Kitchener received
thunderous ovations, which he acknowl
edged neither by look nor bow, but as
English crowds are used to this treat
ment from Lord Kitchener of Khar
toum it failed to suppress the enthusi
asm, It was for the king and queen them
selves that the people really let them
selves loose. Through tho day, wher
ever and whenever their majesties were
seen, the cheers were loud and long,
and specially was this noticeable on the
return journey of the king and queen
to Buckingham palace.
Until the booming of guns announced
that the crowning of King Edward and
Queen Alexandra hud been achieved
there lingered In thousands of minds a
nervous apprehension that even at tho
last moment some untoward event
might once more plunge the nation into
consternation. When this time was
passed, the unrestrained jubilation was
as much a tribute to the king's per
sonal popularity as it was an evidence
of relief from the tension of the last
few weeks, and so, while the scenes on
the streets were robbed of many of
those elements that usually accompany
a great pageant, they will long be re
memberedperhaps somewhat tenderly
by those who stooj on the stands, ut
windows and on the sidewalks to see
King Edward after he had won almost
from the jaws of death' his crown.
Seven Thousand Persons in Abbey.
In Westminster Abbey the scene was
nothing less than marvellous. Nearly
oven thousand members of the nobil
ity, tho clergy nnd tho gentry had
'gathered, with foreign princes, am
bassadors, colonial rulers, Indian po
tentates and leaders from the furthest
quarter of tho globe where the Union
Jack (lies, to do honor to the king.
Two incidents In tho service in the
'Abbey will live in the memory of all
Who witnessed them. Tho first of
these, which almost developed Into a
dramatic contretemps, centered around
tho aged Archbishop of Canterbury,
From tho opening of the service, tho
archbishop had tho greatest dlfllculty
in reading or remembering the prayers.
The book from which his almost blind
eyes endeulvoied to read shook In his
hands, and' when he came to place tho
crown upon King Edward's head his
huge frame, towering above tho seated
king, swayed so violently that the
Bishop of Winchester nut a guarding
hand under the crown, It was evident
that the Archbishop of Canterbury
could not seo his king's head, and, af
ter groping around, he was just about
to complete the most Important part
of the ceremony, when It wns discov
ered that he had the crown with the
back to the front. Slowly he raised It,
but too Jate to prevent the choir from
prematurely bursting out with a loud
'God. Save the King." Amid a tension
which had grown to a pitch of painful
nervousness, th o archbishop finally
managed to place the crown correctly
upon the king's head.
A few minutes later camo tho climax
to feebleness, He was kneeling to do
OF
A
KING VDWARD
the first hom.t --)t nil the subjects of
the king, wit uddenly he almost
fainted, and - have fallen upon
his sovereign's Ves '""I not K'nB
Edward tondcrlj, t ilrmly, grasped
both tho prelate's L us and lifted him
to his feet. The i,lops of London,
Winchester and Di.m clasped their
arms around the Archbishop of Can
terbury, the king kissed his wrinkled
hand, the archbishop's head fell back,
his feet moved slowly and mechanical
ly, and thus he wns more carried than
led from the throne to Si. Edward's
chapel, where he was revived.
Tho tremor which this event caused
had scarcely subsided when another
human touch varied the proceedings,
nnd the king was forgotten in tho
father. Instead of merely accepting
the homage of the Prince of Wales,
King Edward put his arms around the
prince and kissed him, and then re
called him nnd wrung his hand with
a manliness of parental affection that
brought tears to many eyes. To those
who were able to see clearly these two
episodes, tho magnificence of the be
jewelled women, tho splendor of tho
uniformed men and even the historic
grandeur of the coronation -office itself
sank almost into secondary Interest.
Nearly one hundred Americans must
have witnessed the ceremony in the
Abbey. Among them were: Mrs.
Cushman, Mrs. Davis and Mrs. W1I
lard, of Washington, Mrs. Davis and
Mrs. Wlllard accompanying Sir John
Agnew; Mme. Wnddlngton, who-wns
Queen Alexandra's especially Invited
guest; Mrs. Baylies, Mrs. Hartmnn,
Mrs. Post, Mrs. Dudley Leigh, Miss
Astor, Mr. and Mrs. Charles T. Ycrkes,
Lady Barrymore and Lady Michael
Herbert.
THE CORONATION PARADE.
Scenes Along the Route Leading to
the Abbey.
By 9.30 the scene in the vicinity of
the palace and the Majl was animated.
The roof of the palace nnd those of all
the surrounding buildings were crowd
ed with spectators, and the constantly
arriving members of tho roynl family,
with their suites, and the appearance
of others in tho procession drew cheers
varying in degree of enthusiasm ac
cording to the popularity of the per
sonages recognized by tho people. The
Duke of Connuugbt, who rode down
the Mall In an automobile for the
purpose of seeing that the military ar
rangements along the route were com
plete, was heartily cheered.
Almost as animated was tho scene In
the vicinity of Westminster Abbey,
where bands of music stationed about
the building relieved the tedium of the
early waiting, and soon after the doors
were opened state coaches, carriages
and automobiles rattled up In a cease
less line, the rich apparel of their oc
cupants eliciting hearty approval,
which, however, was surpassed by the
reception accorded to the men of the
naval brigade, as they marched past
at a swinging pace to take up a fa
vored position guarding the route near
the Abbey. Tho colonial premiers and
tho privy councillors were warmly wel
comed. The Fijians, In petticoats, were tho
center of much interest, nnd a red In
dian chief, In his native costume,
feathers and blanket, decorated with
tho customary mirrors, caused the
most lively amusement.
Programme Carried Out.
As the hour appointed for the de
parture of the royal procession ap
proached the excitement about Buck
ingham palace was most marked.
Punctual to time, the ndvanre guard
of the royal cavalcade Issued from tho
archway, the horses of the troopers
curvetting nervously as they faced the
wall of humanity that cheered their
coming. Shortly afterward came the
Prince and Princess of Wales' proces
sion, and finally, within a few minutes,
their majesties' state coach appeared
at the gateway, nnd the king nnd queen
smiled nnd bowed In response to the
mighty roar of cheers that dwarfed all
previous welcomes, The scene in tho
vicinity was remarkable, On the roof
of the palace were perched a number
of fashionably dressed women, mem
bers of the household, ond their cheers,
With the fluttering of their handker
chiefs, as tho king nnd queen entered
tho roynl coach, gave the signal for the
deafening plaudits of the populace
which greeted their majesties as they
emerged from tho gates. Tho ovation
wns taken up by the crowds which
thronged the Mall, and was repeatedly
acknowledged by the occupants of tho
state coach.
The King's Appearance,
The king looked pale and rather fine
drawn, and waspno means as brown
and robust as r y.ous reports had led
one to expect.-iind, while punctiliously
bowing from side to side, he did so with
a gravity unusual to him. He seemed
to sit far back in the carriage and
moved his body little, His crimson
robes and cap of maintenance, which
was simply a band of ermine with u
crimson velvet top, doubtless gave to
him the unusual appearance,
The queen, beside hint, was radiant.
She never looked better, The cheers
which greeted tho pair wero loud and
unmistakably genuine, and rtlffeient
from tho perfunctory applause which
usuully greets the appearance of mem
bers of the royal family.
The three processions to the Abbey
were can-led out according to pro
gramme, and the only striking features
of tho first two were the gorgeous state
carriages and tho beautiful trappings
and horses.
Foreign Envoys Not Greeted.
Tho crowd paid little attention to (lie
occupants of the vehicles. In tho last
carriage of tho first procession sat
Prince Henry of Prussia, on tho back

completely defeated the army of the
provisional government, under General
Alexis Nord, at Llmbe, capturing Gen
eral Nord's cannons and munitions of

Many of General Nord's soldiers were
killed and a great number taken pris
oner. General Salnave continues his
march on Cape Haytien, an attack on
which is hourly expected.
The gunbont Crete-a-Pierrot, which
is in the Firmlnlst service, debarked
troops and marines yesterday afternoon
and during the night at various points
near this city. The residents fear a
bombardment of the town, but the for
eign colony is calm, thanks to the pro
tection afforded by tho presence of tho
United States gunboat Machlas, Com
mander McCrea having taken all meas
ures necessary to protect as much as
possible the lives and property of for

Port-au-Prince, Hayti, Aug. 9. About
400 volunteer Fouchardlsts, supported
by a regular regiment, attacked Petit
Goavo yesterday. After a severe battle,
General Chlcoye, the Firmlnlst com
mander, left the town, after having set
fire to.lt. The lire destroyed the place
almost entirely, only two German halls
resisting the Hames.
Thfi killed and wounded during the en

McCrea's Report.
Washington, Aug. 9, The Navy de
partment this morning received the fol
lowing cablegram from Commander
McCrea of the gunboat Machlas, dated
Cape Haytien, August 9;
"Haiten gunboat landed force Cape
Haitien on Friday afternoon. An en
gagement is hourly expected. (Will be)
ready to land."
Commander McCrea Is under general
Instructions to protect American In
terests, and, in addition,, yesterday re
ceived special instructions to prevent
the cutting of the cable of the United
States and Haltlen company. This is
not a French company, being part of
the Commercial company's system.
Commander McCrea will confine him
self strictly to that mission, and will
not take sides either for or against tho
de facto government. Great confidence
Is repoted in the ability and cool-head-edness
of Commander McCrea, and no
fresh Instructions were considered
necessary.
The Machlas has a complement of
about 130 men, Including a marine guard
of twelve, and could land a force of
about GO men, all told. A Colt rapid
fire gun, which she has aboard, could
bo sent ashore with a landing party.
The Machlas has eight four-Inch guns
in her main battery, four six-pounders
and two one-pounders in her secondary
battery, all rapid-fire, and under the
threat of these guns It Is quite unlikely
that either the Haytien gunboat or Gen.
Flrmln's force ashore would care to
make an Issue.
Petit Goavo Is situated on the Bay
of Gonatves, forty-eight miles west
southwest of Port-au-Prince. It has a
good harbor and an uctlve foreign

When Closely Pursued, He Puts a
Bullet Through His Head An
Exciting Chase by Citizens.
.(
By Exclusive Wire from The Associate J Press.
San Jose, Aug. 10. A series of daring
highway robberies which resulted in
the sensational death of one of the rob
bers and the wounding of a citizen,
occurred on the Monteraro road last
night. Two young men, apparently
little more than boys in age, compelled
an old lady who was driving along
the highway, near Edenvale, to deliver
her horse and buggy to them. They
then drove to E. F. Heple's store, at
Coyote, where they purchased car
tridges for a 32-calibre pistol. This
they loaded and Immediately proceedqd
to hold up the proprietor and several
by-standers.
From Heple's store they continued
toward Gilroy. Within a quarter of a
mile of this town they met W. W. Mc
Kee and when he failed to stop on
their order they fired at him, inflict
ing a trilling wound. McKee lashed
his horse into a,j:un and was not fur
ther molested. The robbers continued
to Stevens' store, a mile and a half
from Heple's, robbing two or three
teamsters on the road of small
amounts.
They wore just entering Stevens'
store when they saw five or six armed
men riding rapidly toward them. This
was a posse, consisting of E. F. Heple
and the men who had been robbed with
him.
The robbers abandoned their jaded
horse and started across a field toward
the hills. A running fight ensued, in
which one of the robbers was shot
through the stomach. In emulation of
Convict Tracy, he placed his pistol to
his head and blew out his brains and
died nlmost instantly. The other threw
up his hands and was taken into cus
tody. SEVEN PERSONS ARE

Opposition to Appointing Monsignor
Guidi Papal Delegate
By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press,
Rome, Aug, 9, The pending appoint
ment of an apostolla delegate to tho
Philippines Is producing some friction
at the vutlcun. The pope, In accordance
with his promise to Governor Taft, has
personally investigated the situation,
and concluded, If he could not seo his
way to appoint an Amerlcun, that Mon
signor Guldl was his next choice. The
pope's decision Is warmly supported
by several leading cardinals, especially
Cardinal Gottl, whose election as pre
fect of the propaganda adds weight to
his opinion. Cardinals Agllardl and
Vincent Vannutelll also side' with the
pope. On the other hand, Cardinal
llampolla, the papal secretary of state,
Is known to be against Monsignor
Guldl's nomination, though his oppos
ition hus not yet taken .the form of
open hostility. Cardinal Rampolla Is
supported by a number of more or less
.powerful curdlnals for this appoint
ment, which, in view of the recent In
tercorse between the yatlcun and the
United States, Is considered one of par
ticular distinction.
