Coronation Durbar Scene Great Splendor. of He Is Caught and Almost Killed by Puriulngr Crowd Bellboy Made Desperate by Debt. 1 GLORY OF DELHI IS REVIVED Loi;d and Lndy Curzon, Tnkc and. Dnchcjss of ConnauRUt, Head a ProcctJnlon of Princes IUdlns on Elephants. DELHI, India, Dec 29.-The Viceroy, Lord Curzon of Keddleston. made his state entry into the capital of the Moguls today. ThiB constituted the official open ing of the Durbar, held to celebrate the accession of King Edward as Emperor of India; It was a splendid pageant, prob ably unparalleled In its magnificence. At the head of the elephant procession rode Lord and Lady Curzon on the state "Grand Tusker," 12 feet high, the largest elephant in India. Their hodah was decked with gold and silver, and the elephant itself was almost hidden Tjeneath a gold-worked saddle cloth. Surrounding them were footmen in scarlet and gold liveries and 'bearing massive silver staves. The Duke of Connaught, who represent ed King Edward, and the Duchess of Con naucht. followed. Their 'elephant was equally gorgeously caparisoned. Then, in j order of precedence, came the Nizam of Hyderabad, the Maharajah of Travancore and other ruling chiefs, 70 in all, their huge elephants forming a line a quarter of a mile in iength. The glittering procession of today started Irom the railroad station, preceded by dragoon guards and artillery, the "Viceroy's escort, and by heralds and trumpeters. The route was entirely lined by British and native troops. From the saluting battery, post 'ed at the fort commanding the Lahore Gate, guns thundered out a royal salute as the Viceroy passed with the heralds and trumpeters sounding at intervals spir ited fanfares. The cortege passed in front of a line of 350 elephants carrying the brilliantly dressed retainers of the ruling chiefs. The colossal beasts all saluted by trumpeting and throwing their trunks in the air. pre senting a truly Imposing sight, and after wards fell In line behind the official pro cession. Huge crowds of onlookers wit nessed the spectacle, which, it is asserted, has never been surpassed In magnificence, even in this country of Oriental splen dor. The heralds and trumpeters who fol lowed the escort and immediately preced ed the Viceroy, were conspicuous by the splendor of their attire. They were fol lowed by the newly constituted Imperial Cadet Corps, comprising 30 Maharajahs. The excitement was at fever heat as the first elephant, with gold and silver how dahs of the staff officers, came in view, and commenced to circle around the mosque. The first elephants in Asia passed in front of the great Jumma Mus Jld. the steps of which were thronged with distinguished personages. Including the Viceroys, American and British guests, and the delegates from the colonies and from other parts of the Empire. The enormous animals shuffled slowly by, many of the massive howdahs of quaint and rich design being surmounted by magnificent canopies of gold embroi dered and bejeweled tapestry. The bodies of the animals were almost hidden by their trappings of crimson, purple and go6. Bands of gold encircled their tusks, golden bracelets were on their ankles, gold and silver belts were hanging from their neck chains, and their heads were painted and decorated in every conceiv able color. The mahouts were clad in the brightest attire, as were the attendant spearmen, who marched by the' elephants' sides. In the rear of the procession rode Gen eral Lord Kitchener, the 'Commander-in-Chief of India, surrounded by a brilliant staff, and followed by the heads of prov inces, with escorts of Indian cavalry and tribal leaders from beyond the border line. Down the main street moved the cortege through lines of saluting soldiers and ex cited, surging salaaming throngs of na tives; through the ancient city with tho balconies and housetops teeming with life and through the Moreo Gate into the open park beyond. There, after a four-milo march, the elephants of the Viceroy and the Duke of Connaught halted side by side, and the pageant was concluded with the great Princes filing by, their elephants trumpeting a salute. The Viceroy was in state uniform. Lady , Curzon was dressed In gray, the Duke of Connaught had on a Field Marshal's uni form, and tho Duchess of Connaught was attired In blue. They received a flattering welcome at all points. The Viceroy and the Duke of Connaught subsequently drove to the main camp. The roads, after the passage of the pro cession, presented a scene of chaos, as the camel carriages, mule, carts, landaus, bicycles and bullock carts pressed onward in strange confusion. There were many - breakdowns and many hours elapsed be fore the people were able to return to their homes. CAN'T RUN ALL TRAINS. Xew England Railroads Have Not EHongli Coal for Traffic. NEW YORK, Dec. 29. Tho coal strin gency in Now England has become so acute that a curtailment of train sched ules on railroads in that section in the near future appears to be almost inevita ble. The New York, New Haven & Hart ford is worse off than the other roads, de spite its many coal depots along its lines, and it has been forced to borrow and seize coal a number, of times. Some of the roads, it is said, more than a month ago considered the cutting of schedules, in view of the possibility of a shortage, and most of the roads In the country which are not "originating" roads adopted the measure. The operation of New England factories will also be affected, though up to the present only two factories have been obliged to suspend operations on account of the fuel famine. RUXXIXG TO FULL CAPACITY. Reading: Company' Mines Produce Limit First Time Since Strike. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 29. It was an nounced at tho office of the Philadelphia & Heading Coal & Iron Company today that, for the first time In several weeks, the 31 collieries of the company in the anthracite region are working to their utmost capacity. Floods and miners' hol idays have curtailed the output of tha mines to a considerable extent since the strike was declared off, and the officials of the company say that the scarcity of coal resulting from these temporary sus pensions will speedily disappear. It is expected that 1200 carloads of coal will be produced from the Reading's operations today. All mines in the Wyoming region are also in full operation today. IMPORTS FROM ENGLAXD. Many Vessels Chartered to Carry Conl to L'nited States. LONDON, Dec. 29. It'was said on good authority in Liverpool today that con tracts had been made for 200,000 tons of coal for shipment from English, Scotch and Welsh ports to Eastern ports of the United States. The purchase of coal and the engagement of ships, it was added, have been going on for a fortnight, and are expected to continue for several weeks. Forty steamers has already been chartered. The same authority says the coal purchases are the result of an "un expected hitch in the coal strike arbitra tion in the United States."

Formal or ders were issued today by the Navy De partment detailing Itear-Admiral Glass as Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Station. He will succeed Rear-Admiral Casey, who has been placed on waiting orders. Rear-Admiral Henry Glass Is a Ken tucklan, and was appointed to the Navy from Illinois in September, 1860. After three years in the Naval Academy he be came an Ensign in May, 1S63, and was at tached to the steam sloop Canandaigua.

Five years is the term of office for the Governor-General and Viceroy of India, Lord Curzon of Kedleston was appointed in succession to the Earl of Elgin in Sep tember, 1898, and entered on his duties al the beginning of 1899. Though, he has only held the office for three years. Lord Cur zon has had a laborious time. To grap ple with the great famine would have taxed the powers of the most strenuous statesman. Fortunately, the strain of this difficulty has, to some extent, been re moved with better prospects for the next harvest. India has at the same time been called upon to engage In the military op erations in South Africa and China, and the prompt dispatch of the Indian regi ments under the Viceroy's .supervision helped greatly to secure the safety ot Natal and accomplish the rescue of the legations at Pekln. Long tours throughout India, some In parts unvlslted by a Viceroy for many years, have made Lord Curzon acquainted with the many races among the 300,000.000 human beings over whom he rules. His administration, has won him golden opin ions, and his withdrawal from office, ac cording to accounts that have come from India, would be greatly regretted. In his recent tour through the Bombay presi dency he spoke with much hope of con tinuing at his post until the natural ex piration of his term of office. Dcrry to Command the Iventuclcy.
