Flafs of all nations floated from many a staff ^and were draped from windows. The royal color was ev erywhere; in an out of dwellings— in hotels, restaurants, depots—no where could the eye direct its gaze without meeting the same sight. The procession to the Abbey for the coronation ceremonies was protected by thousands of soldiers and police. It was the most picturesque scene the ancient capital has ever witnessed. There were many old-fashioned state coaches of the nobility, many of them undent, but repainted and regilded since the coronation of King Edward VII, They were drawn by four horses apiece and made a brave showing. Out'.iders flanked the horses and gor geously liveried footmen stood on the .:'ll the wenlth otjrail behind. i royal ceremonial i in curious contrast with the antique ;■ ctistom. ; coaches were the great number of au- ihe iJfey-walled I toi;iobiles in the procession through i.;^(iiveRl splendor. i the windows of which peers and peer- r' V p, solemn and , es&es could boi^een wearing ermine. - e ’jauded down ^ Lord Mayor Strong arrived shortly nf.irit-i! i>nd the^gjQfg stated hour for the cere- ;;i ni’.'l -•^'('ondary begin, accompanied by his iK-n tomiy w e. e suite.

Bells pealed a welcome to the Kinp and Queen; soldiera stood at at tention, and from millions of British throats a tumult of cheering broke out, which rolled like huge billows above the densely packed mall. King George’s approach to the Ab bey was heralded by tl j Kind’s Barge- master and 12 watermen wearing medieval tunics, knee breeches and . ?ors. : dull .!treets hadj ! .r; ' a mass of cj; i '".ucons progress (o' r-'turn to H’lCkins; | ■r..'

Many of the companies of soldiers were picked for distinguished service in the tteld. Field Marshal Lord Kitch ener, alert of eye and grim of jaw, rode at the head of the troops, look ing neither to the right nor left and unmind’ful of the roaring cheers that were directed at him. Also in the military procession w'as Lord Roberts, or “Bobs,” as the peo ple of England love to call him, while Indian princesses and mara mahara jahs and potentates of the empire, i wearing brilliant robes, agleam with diamonds, presented a glittering pic ture. Their splendid robes and jewels glinted as the party, passed through tlie streets, iheir curious turbans made a striking contrat^t with the headdresses of the Occident. In the great lumbering coach of state rode the king and queen, the cy nosure of millions of eyes; hundreds of thousands of strangers had jour neyed to London—some nearly the entire distance around t.ie world to get a glimpse of the sturdy, bearded poten tate and his comely wife seated be side him. As the procession reached the Ab bey the party of the Prince of Wales proceeded the royal party, the Prince entering the Abbey as a brilliant pre liminary to the coming of King George and Queen Mary. Police kept Parliament Square and the streets leading to the Abbey clear of people and government agents and ferret-eyed men from Scotland Yard mingled with the multitude, keeping an alert eye oi)en for suspicious look ing persons. Not until the ceremonies had been ended was their vigilance relaxed. King George was the first monarch in^the English line to use the new coronation oath with religious allu sions eliminated. The Catholics had led the efforts for a change in the old oath and It was rewriiien into new form. The oath which the King repeat ed today was as follows: “I do solemnly and sincerely, in the presence of God, profess, testify, and declare that I am a faithful mem- (Continued on Page Seven.) y CIITHEII IIT LUKE Tangled Situation In Senate Made More Complica ted WHOLESALE GROCERS WOULD COMPROMISE.

After a conference this morning the fusionist members sent a committee to the house, then in session, requesting that adjournment be taken until 2 o’clock this afternoon at which time the fusioaists would be in their seats. The committee, how ever, arrived too late, *^he house hav ing adjourned until tomorrow. Today’s action marks the practical end of the most memorable filibuster in Tennessee’s political history. Seven ty days ago 34 independent democratic and republican members of the house left Nashville in the night for Ala bama, breaking a quorum in the house and since the legislative wheels have been practically tied up, the regular democrats in both branches, however, meeting from day to day and keeping the season alive. The regular session has thus extended 159 days for only of which members have been paid. May Divide Season In Caiotina League The report has become currc.:t that the season of the Carolina Associa tion will be divided into two parts. In case this is done the second season will begin July 1st, this being the end of the first half of the entire season. Said a gentleman of high standing in\ the league as well as in the Charlotte club, “Four of the clubs have already voted to divide the season, and it is almost an assured that this will be don^.” “Yes, they were the bottom clubs that have voted,” said a gentle man nearby. “Not much,” answered the gentlqjnan, “one of the highest clubs in the league have voted for it.” If this is done it will be beneficial to all the clubs in the circuit. The clubs that are on the bottom now would be given a chance to win the lat ter part of the season, while it would also increase the attendance all around the circuit. If any other club besides the present leaders can win the second pennant it would mean a post-season series and hence another lump w'ould be added to the treasury of the clubs. This would also create more interest in the league and would make things better in many ways. As for our own part, we are in favor of diTiding the season and here’s hoping it will be done. ' . The wTiter has endeawred to find some of the officers of the local club today, but his search has been futile. The rumor though is well founded and the gentleman that said it certainly knows what is going on in the league and is in a position to know as son as anybody else. By Associated Press. Tijuana, Lower California, June 22. —Fighting between the Mexican troops under Celso Vega and Col.

C., June 22.—A con ference between Michigan beet sugar men and President Taft, then secre tary of war, held in Washington, prior to the presidential campaign of 1908, was made a subject of inquiry today j by the house sugar iiivestigation com mittee.

Both Measures Received For- nud Adverse Reports—Sim- mam was One of The Dem ocrats to Vote m Negative on Adverse Report Issue. By Associated Press. Washington, Jnne 22.—^An already badly tangled sitoation in the senate was further complicated today when the senate finance committee decided to throw the wool revision ,and so- called farmers free list bill* recent ly passed by the democratic house of representatives into the open senate at once to take their chances along with the Canadian reciprocity. Both measures, however, received formal adverse committee reports. The committee refused to take re sponsibility for reporting in detail on these measures at any given time and' decided to cast the burden of senate legislation upon the coalition of dem ocrats and insurgent republicans sud- I denly brought about last night when j the wool bill came from the house, j The finance committee had been in- ■ structed to report the wool bill by July 10. “It has been demonstrated that the republicans no longer are in control of the senate and responsibility has has been taken from them.” This statement made by Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania, before the committee’s meeting reflected the cha otic condition in the senate as a re sult of last niglit’s fight over the house wool bill which brought abovfC a coalition of democrats and progres sive repifblicans. By 39 to 18 this coa lition instructed the finance commit tee to report the wool bill to the sen ate by July 10. “It would require ten months prop- erly to consider the wool schedule and grcJGCt; requested hearings and we might as weH report it today as July 10.” said thee hairman. Interest in the senate situation centered largely about the fate of the' Canadian reciprocity agreement. Sen ator Penrose, champion of the agree ment, admitted that last night’s de velopments had so .complicated the situation that no one at thi» time could forecast the outcome. Senator Lodge said the senate coa- ^ lition and the threats of the insur- i gents to force a general tariff fight I before the senate prior to voting on meant the end of the ‘for the time being at is known about him here, although he is said to have been a cotton buyer.

Little least.” Senator Bailey, of Texas, urged the committee to defer action for a few weeks on the wool bill. “As to reci procity,” he said, “I don’t believe the senate situation has killed the bill but I had hoped it would.” Senator Simmons, of North Caro lina, another democratic opponent of reciprocity, said he shared Senator Bailey’s views. Indorsing Senator Penrose’s state ment that the “republican party no longer was responsible for the con duct of affairs in the senate,” Senator Lodge said he was glad the responsi bility was to be placed where it be- loned.
