Edward Bore the Ceremony Without Apparent Fatigue The Procession from Buckingham Palace to the Abbey . , a Triumphal One. ' London, Aug. 9. Despite supersti tion and evil prophecy, Edward is crowned monarch of this empire. He has passed through the ceremony, medieval, even barbaric in some of its splendor, unscathed, apparently without- physical detriment. The consum mation ol the national hopes, which a few -weeks ago seemed impossible, has been achieved under auspicious condi tions, and once more fortune smiles up on the destinies of Great Britain. Th coronation rejoicings . have been. on. a very different scale from what was an ticipated six weeks ago, yet from every point viewed today 'the celebration has been worthy the greatest empire In the world's history. About haW a mil lion people, probably, participated in London's tribute to the sovereign, but their loyalty and enthusiasm typified the deepest feelings of the great mass of Edward's subjects. As for the majestic ceremonial at Westminster abbey, its slight curtail ment Served but to add to its impres sive character. Nothing was lacking from the original design save the pres ence of a few. special envoys from abroad, and none who witnessed the matchless scene in this historic theatre of kingly dramas could wish for any thing more imposing, more memorable, more? . MVrtbf -lpt the great tradi tions bt the -British empire. If no word '-had'ibeeiii . spoken, if no act hadfi'bfcen done, if that magnificent tableau could, simply live as a single pecortf of British, history, Great Britain might rest proud and content of her place among the nations. Perhaps the most noticeable feature of he day and night was . the quietude, of the people who thronged to witness the procession and afterwards, when night set in, .came out in thousands to parade the streets and to gaze at the il luminations, which made a magnificent spectacle. Between the hours of nine and eleven tonight the crowds in, the streets al most exceeded those of the queen' jubilee in 1897. There was much sing ing, and where there was1 room there was dancing and so forth, but no dis order.' The illuminations in a majority of cases were extinguished between mid night and la. m., when all the specta tors had gone home, leaving Demnu umy a few noisy revellers. ,.iiiiont ennrisp nrnmised perfect weather for coronation day, but long be of snorting goods in the state at Blomberg's. 1 rrufr, ori silver at J.

VI" lyjljbbvJlkJiS mm is fore the cermonies commenced threat ening clouds gathered, and the early ar rivals on the route of the procession came provied against contingencies. The earlier crowds were in nowise as large as it had been anticipated they would be. Many enthusiasts with camp stools and ample supplies of provisions had spent the night on the best points of vantage that could be secured, and were in the same positions at 6 o'clock this morning. At that hour the troops began to take up their alloted stations, and policemen lined the route of the procession from Buckingham palaceito Westminster abbey. Buckingham palace naturally was one of the principal centers of interest. as it wasthe starting point of the great pageant. Punctual to the time the ad vance guard of the royal calvacade is sued from the archway, the horses of the troopers curveting nervously as they faced the wall of humanity that cheered their coming. Shortly afterwards came the prince and princess of Wales', procession, and finally, within a few minutes their ma jesties' state coach appeared at the gate way, and the king and queen smiled and bowed in response to the mighty roar of cheers that dwarfed all pre vious welcomes. The king looked pale and rather fine drawn, and was by no means as brown and robust as previous reports had led one to expect, and, while continuously bowing from side to side, he did so with a gravity very uusual to him. He seemed to sit rather far back . in the carriage and moved his body very little. His curious crimson robes and cap, the maintenance of which was "by a band of ermine with a crimson velvet top, gave him the unusual appearance The queen, beside him, was radiant'. She never looked better. The cheers which greeted the pair were loud and genuine, and very different from the perfunctory applause which usually greets the appearance of the members of the royal family. The procession was triumphant and reached its climax on the arrival at the abbey, where there was a scene of un paralleled enthusiasm, which did not cease until their majesties disappeared in the annex. Im Westminster Abbey the doors oC that edifice were scarcely opened an. 1 the gold stick bearers and ushers naa barely found their stations before tht seats when the peers and peeresses sweet ur the nave, their scarlet and er mine making vivid contrasts with the deer blue of8 the carpet. As they ar rived 'before the thrones, they separat ed, the peers going to the right ana the peeresses to the left. The entire scheme of decorative ar- rnrWempnts had been, carried out hand- v O I 1 J . "U nlf n n n il 1 '1 V V t SUliTtiiy aliU even uic iyiaamo uiu seem out of plaice. The peculiarly beau tiful effect presented by the king's and queen's boxes, comprising half a dozen rows of chairs in -hitesatin, were re lieved only by the crimson of the seats. Beyond the structural durations for the seating of spectators, there was lit tle attempt at any display and the old gray arches lent their stately prospec tive to the scene, untouched 'by flags or any gleam of color. The various chairs to be used by the king and queen in the services attracted special attention, but what inevitably caught the eye was the glittering array of gold plate, brought from the various royal depositaries, ranged along .the chancel and behind the altar. In the stalls with othen amibassadors were United States Ambassador Joseph H. Choate and Mrs. Choate and many officials. The ceremonies commenced with the reconsecration of the regalia. The pro cession of clergy with the regalia then proceeded from the altar to the annex, all present standing, and the choir singing "O God our help in the past." Preceding the regalia came the boys of Westminster Abbey, followed by the children of the Chapel Royal and the choir in royal uniforms. Suddenly "Vivat Alexandria!" was shouted by the boys of Westminster and 'the queen, walking elowly to the left of the throne -gathered her skirts and knelt at the silken "prie dieu. Two or three aninutes later came the hoarse cry from the Westminster boys of "Vi vat Rex Edwardue," with blasts from the trumpets. The organ ceased and Blomberg's Selectos 5c cigar has been smoked'by nearly two million smokers.

SCOTT WITH A PAPER KNIFE. Chicago, Aug. 9. Walter A. Scott, president of the Illinois Wire company, was stabbed to death in the Monadnok building today by Walter L. Stebbings, a civil and consulting engineer, with offices in the building. Stebbings used a paper knife, stabbing Scott twice. The stabbing occurred in Mr. Scott's private office. Mr. Stebbings had done some work for the Illinoise Wire com pany, over which there had been a dis pute. The two had a quarrel and Stebbings, it is alleged, called Scot a liar. There was a scuffle and the two burst from the private office with the blood flowing fro.rm Scott's wounds Stebbings', when arrested, said that he had struck Scott in self defense and that he had not intended injurying him seriously. The fight was witnessed by Miss Myrtle Shumate, a stenographer in Scott's office, who ran screaming in to .the hall. Occupants of other offices notified the police, who placed Steb- hin,s-s iinripr fl.rrpst. According to the story of Miss Shu mate, the two men disputed for nearly one hour over details of a claim for $3,000. Suddenly the door was thrown open and the men staggered into the outer office, kicking each other and using their fiste. Stebbings held a long steel paper knife in has right nana and the weapon could be seen flashing as the men struggled. Suddenly Stebbings struck Scott in the body. The 'blow was repeated a moment later, Scott stag gered 'backward and finally fell on the floor. He died within half an hour. Mr Scott was reputed to be a millionaire.
