Decorations Are on Such a Magnificent Scale That Electric Light Compa nies Fear Supply of "Juice" Will Be Exhausted. London, Juno 20. Thousands of Londoners tire fleeing from the city to escnpc the coronntlon hordes from the provinces and abroad whoso capacity for demonstration is so boundless that tho night, so far as sleep Is concerned, has become n decidedly curtailed pe riod. Fears of panic following an accident within the walls and barriers erected by the police have also Influenced thou sands of the more nervous to get away from the crush. The railroads have been quick to take advantage of the situation and nre widely advertising excursions, at attractive rates, to sea side and country resorts on tho days of tho big events. No less than $75,000 has been ex- pended on the construction of gates shutting off the main approaches to the processional route. These barriers have been built so massively that they could withstand tho onslaught of a j regiment when once closed, and the crowds, however savage, will be un able to make the least Impression upon them, King George and Queen Mary have visited Westminster abbey and wit nessed a part of the rehearsal of the coronation ceremony. Their majesties looked on as the roles which they will Oil on Thursday were taken by under studies. The peerages were bestowed on as mnny Individuals by tho king at a dinner attended by Mr. Hammond. Among the recipients wns Lieutenant Colonel Arthur J. Bigge, private secre tary to the king. Another was Sir Charles B. McLaren, the steel master and shipbuilder. John Hays Uammond, "the special representative of the president of the United States," accompanied by Mrs. Uammond and the special embassy staff, made his ofllclal entry Into Lon don and was met at the railroad sta ti'on by the Duke of Connaught, Crown Prince Christian of Denmark, Prince Alexander of Teck and other notables. The American party traveled to Lon don in the royal saloon attached to a special train from Dover, where Baron Sandhurst welcomed them to England. The night long work of tho army ol 1 decorators served to enliven most of the streets in tho center of London I Flags give a gala appearance which the Intermittent rainstorms cannoi spoil. Tho decorations nnd Ilium! na tious are on a scale never before at tempted In England, and the demand for electric lighting Is so great that the electrical companies have served public notice that their capacity t. supply the current has been exhausted and that they cannot undertake fur ther contracts. The German crown prince and Ills party, Prince Henry of Prussia i nil Prince nenry of the Netherlands, nr among the new arrivals. The Duke of Connaught nnd other members of th" royal family flitted from station to station to meet each newcomer unde terred by the showers of mud thai their swiftly moving vehicles tossed up.

Home, Juno 20. The pope has had another fainting spell. He rallied quickly upon reaching his private quarters In the Vatican, but the condi tion of ills health Is causing grave anxiety. Although the members of his holi ness' entourage are strictly forbidden to mention the subject of his illness, or to spread rumors of an alarming nature, It Is known that they fear he may die suddenly of heart trouble. The effect of the warm weather has accentuated the symptoms of depres sion and cardiac weakness which Pope Plus has been exhibiting for a con siderable time. His sisters, to whom he is devoutly attached, apparently fear the worst, for they have taken quarters in a modest fiat In the Plana BustlcuccI, very close to the Vatican, and are In constant telephonic communication with the pope's physicians. Frequent visits of Cardinal VIves y Tuto, the confessor nnd fav.orlte ad viser of his holiness, have caused much comment within the past two or three days. The American correspondent learns that the pope's Illness Is from nn ad vanced stage of arteriosclerosis (a hardening and thickening of the walls of the arteries), due to senile decay. It Is known that there has been 'an "active change of Ideas" nmong the cardinals stationed here In Rome as to n successor to Plus X. Tho general 6entiiw;nt seems to favor Cardinal Ilampolla, who would have been elect ed to the high offlce to succeed the late Lw XIII. save for tho veto placed 'upon his candidacy by the Austrian government.

THUS CLLEbHATE Silver Wedding Reception -Notable Social Affair. GROUNDS LIKE A FAIRYLAND. Apparently Without a Care, President and Mrs. Taft Receive 5,000 Guests, While Outside Fence Thousands 8ee Brilliant Assemblage. Washington, Juno 20. President and Mrs. Taft celebrated their silver wed ding anniversary, and It will bo many a day before tho national cnpltal for gets the fuuctlou. Every oue, from the most exclusive social cave dweller to tho newest member of congress, seems willing to admit that the recep tion was one of tho most notnblo so cial affairs ever held at tho White House. With the weather absolutely perfect, the White House grouuds transformed almost Into a fairyland, tho 5,000 In vited guests having the best kind of n lime nnd four times that many Inter ested and enthusiastic spectators htaudlng twenty deep outstdo the spik ed Iron fence that surrounds the exec utive mansion, President Taft .as he stood at the head of the receiving line with the first lady of the land did not seem to have u care In the world. He was particularly happy, as he said re peatedly, that Mrs. Taft, lately not In the best of health, seemed to have won some strength for tho occasion and was with him every moment of , the time thnt tile thousands of guests were filing by exchanging hand grips and expressing the hope that they might be spared td lie present away off In the futuie at the Tafts' golden wedding day. Incidentally It Is not at all lraproba ble that President Taft, considering tho success of the reception, will Issue n ukase Increasing the salary of Pro fessor Willis Moore, who makes the government's weather. Mr. Moore ap peared at the White House with a long face and delivered the most pessimistic predictions. Everybody at the White House was much worried nbout the atmospheric outlook, so Mr. Moore ran over to brighten things up. After he had talked with the president he told the newspaper men thnt the "president lias only one chanco In a hundred of having a garden party," then he elabo rated. "Conditions nre mo'U unfavorable," . he said. "There probably will be show-1 ers." It Is remarkable the way thing's at the White House brightened up after Professor Moore's visit. The president iult looking at the weather and whis tled, and the preparations for the out of doors fete went merrily ahead. j Every one who nttended the recep tion agrees It would have been noth ing short of a calamity had the weath er been less perfect. Probably not a single one of the guests had the slight est conception of tho elaborate prepa rations thnt had been made In n. deep ratlve way. And to those entering the White House either from tho avenue side or the east carriage entrance . there wns little beyond a searchlight playing on the fountain In front of tho portlchere nnd n few clusters of lights on the lawn to Indicate what awaited t them on the spacious grounds In the rear. Back there, though, the scene was beautiful beyond all description. All around the outer edge of the acres of level, short clipped grass within the White House inclosure swung Chinese lanterns of fantastic designs; blocks upon blocks of them, barely six Inches apart, swaying In the light breeze and casting their queer shapes and shad ows on the lawn. Within the great square of lanterns every tree, big and little; every evergreen, every shrub and bush, wore a dress of colored light. From the top of ancient elms and oaks long streamers of light In tho national colors, looped hero and there from branch' to branch, swung down ward to the ground. In tho pines and cedars clusters of smaller bulbs wound nbout the trunks glowed within the green. From tho roof of the White House a squad of white clad Jackles from tho dispatch boat Dolphin oper ated n big navy searchlight, casting ever changing colored rays on the con verging streams of the great fountain and basin In the center of tho lawn. Many of the guests literally had to fight their way from Pennsylvania avenue down to the entrance, the throng of spectators having formed a Jam extending from the Iron fence arouud the grounds, across the side walk and street and overflowing the steps of the treasury building. On the west, between tho White House nnd the state, war and navy building, It was the same. Apparently everybody In Washington had read of the presi dent's silver wedding and of the elabo rate preparations that were being made to entertain the 5,000 guests and had come down to see the sights. There was really no way of estimating tho crowd, which tho entire reserve force of policemen had the greatest difficulty In handling. Eagles Gather at Roohnster. Rochester, N. X., June 20.
