GREAT ELECTRICAL DISPLAY Former Elaborate Programme 'Will Be Somevrhnt Curtailed Weather Conditions Are Doubtful Salis bury Will Xot Attend. LONDON, Aug. 0. It was announced at Buckingham Palace at a quarter after S o'clock this morning, that King Edward was in excellent health and spirits. Although the doors of Westminster Abbey were opened at 7 o'clock this morning, few participants in the cere monies attendant upon the coronation of King Edward arrived until consld slderably after that hour. By 8 o'clock most of the best positions along the route of the procession were occupied, and the streets were packed with car riages, state coaches and bands. The seats of the Abbey were filling s'owly at 8 o'clock. The early comers spent their time In scrutinizing their sur roundings and neighbors through opera glasses, with which nearly all present were provided. Peeresses sat chatting, holding fast their coronets, which even thus early appeared to have become somewhat of a nuisance. LONDON;, Aug. a The eve of the cor onation of King Edward VTI was marked in London by large crowds, which wan dered all the evening somewhat aimlessly through the semi-UlumlnajKrefetjjj Down WiHteKhlfi mieteyiis ''Canttlrur arch was tbo attraction, around West minster Abbey and along the Strand, the sidewalks were blocked with the expect ant populace. The people were deterred from any signs of rowdyism by the acute recollection of the recent postponement of the coronation, and those who witnessed the exhibitions, which occurred upon the slightest pretext during war time, could not fail to notice the different tempera ment shown tonight. With a few excep tions, it might have been well said of the metropolis of the empire that it was liv ing up to the national reputation of tak ing Its pleasures somewhat sadly. The absence of blatant horns and an noying features was pleasantly atoned for by the lighting up of many buildings. The brilliancy of the Illumination held the visitors to the city so spell-bound that vehicular traffic became more and moro difficult as the night wore on. Until a very late hour the stand speculators did a thriving business, and around those stands occupying good locations there were lines of people anxious to get seats at the last moment. Many thousands who walked through the streets exhibited unmistakable signs of an intention to stay up all night in the hope of securing a point of vantage from which to view the procession. A City of Great Unrest. Workmen were still busy putting the finishing touches to the Abbey, and Its approaches and every detail of this work were watched eagerly by the spectators. In an undramatlc sort of way London has been transformed by the multitudes wish ing to see any part of the ceremonies into a city of great unrest. The idea of sleep or an adequate allowance of time for rest has been quite given up by the people in the streets, and underlying this intensity of expectation there Is a curious nervous ness among the majority lest they should awake from their short slumbers to find the great event postponed. Among the many incidents of the night one of the most curious occurred at Scot land Yard, where a Scottish magnate, who had received an invitation to be present at Westminster Abbey with the proviso that he appear in court dress, ap pealed at a late hour to the police to help him hire or borrow the clothes necessary for admittance. All things point to a quiet celebration under doubtful weather conditions, and with public enthusiasm tempered with heartfelt relief over the passing of the shadow which so recently overcast the empire. King Edward passed a busy day at Buckingham Palace, and did not appear to the public at all. At a late hour to night he was reported as feeling quite strong, and as looking forward to the cer emony without the slightest misgiving. Salisbury Will Xot, Attend. Acting upon medical advice. Lord Salis bury has obtained the King's permission to absent himself from the ceremony. The ex-Premier will shortly leave for the Con tlnenL One of the most curious Incidents of the coronation will be the appearance of the uniform of the Salvation Army in West minster Abbey. King Edward decided that a representative of the Salvation Army should be invited to the coronation and Bramwell Booth has been appointed to attend the ceremony. A difficulty arose about the uniform he- should wear, and tho Earl Marshal, the Duke of Norfolk. intimated that he was not authorized to recognize the uniform of the Salvation Army. Mr. Booth thereupon wrote to King Edward, requesting permission to wear the uniform of the army. This per mission His Majesty readily gave, and Mr. Booth will appear In the uniform of, his rank In the Salvation Army. Arrival of the Rcgrnlia. The arrival of the regalia from the tower at Westminster Abbey made a stirring scene. A gorgeous state coach with royal footmen In state livery and closely hedged about with prancing troopers of the House hold Cavalry swung up to the Abbey and the cavalcade quickly disappeared under the cloister archway. A cordon of police stretched Itself suddenly across the street, shutting out the public, while the horses came to a standstill and the cavalry forrned a screen. The ceremony of the transference of the regalia was superin tended by Major-General Ell la, controller of the King's household, while the King's bargemaster was In attendance, as Is his duty whenever the King's crown -Is re moved from one place to another. As soon as the Jewels were deposited In the Jerusalem chamber, a force of .yeomen mounted guard over them, while extra forces of police were on duty outside the Abbey throughout the night. ' Many Allotted Seats Vacant. The exodus of society people from Lon don his caused many vacancies among the allotted scats In the Abbey. These have been given to officials of the gov ernmental departments. It Is said that 200 tickets to the Abbey. Issued to members of the House of Commons, were returned yesterday. These Include the tickets sent to the Irish members of the House, who have gone to Dublin, and the unoccupied House of Commons scats will be given to officers from South Africa, colonial repre sentatives, etc The early trains to Lon don are bringing throngs of people from the suburbs. Crowds already line the whole route of the procession, which has been clewed by the police to wheel traffic. with the exception of those vehicles the occupants of which are provided with tick ets to Westminster Abbey for the official stands. The troops are marching in from their camps on the outskirts of the me tropolis. or arriving by train from more distant points, and are taking up their portions. There was an unusual celebration on the Stock Exchange here before the closing hour this evening. An orchestra had been stationed In the balcony under a Union Jack. All the electric lights were turned on and the orchestra played a national anthem, in which all the members of the exchange joined. The Gazette tonight announced that King Edward had established a new Im perial service order "for the recognition of merit In the House and colonial civil services after service of 25 years,, or 16 years In an unhcalthful colony.

GHANGEF0R0URG1TY Favored as Site for Depart ment Headquarters, OPINION IN WASHINGTON Wonld Lessen the Friction Which, Occnrs When Department nml Post Commanders Arc Stationed nt the Same Place. OREGONIAX NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Aug. 8. While some cf the officers of the War Department Insist that there is no necessity for a change in the head- quarters of the Department. of the Colum-' bla, others say -Tbait, the' headquarters' should go to Portland: t Officers 'who have' served In the department say .that the best interests of 'the "Government, and especially the Army,' will be subserved, by a separation of the department- from the post. Wherever a department lias been located at a post, more or less fric tion has resulted from overlapping Juris diction. The commandant of a post feels that he has absolute jurisdiction of the post, and sometimes" it has been difficult to tell where the authority of 'the, depart ment ends and that of the post com mander begins. The War Department has received a number of complaints from Vancouver during the many years that the headquarters have been at that post. It has been the policy of the War De partment where practicable to ' separate the headquarters from the post and yet to have a large post near the city, where the headquarters is located. It. ls-generally conceded that the Vancouver post Is near enough for Portland to make that city the best site for headquarters In the department, but it is also known, that In case any attempt were made to remove tho headquarters to Cortland, Seattle would make a vigorous claim for the lo cation of headquarters, In that city. Army officers would be divided as to the mer its of the claims of the city. Those who have served at Vancouver say that tall business can be as well handled from Portland as from Seattle, and that there should be a large post, such as Van couver, near any headquarters. It is also known that In case any attempt were made" to change the headquarters, the rivalry between Portland and Seattle would break out afresh, and men about the department say they want to avoid the Jealousies of the "Sound cities" as long as they can. , One thing Is certain, there will .be no change of headquarters until there has been an Interesting airing of the whole subject here In Washington, and the prob abilities are that rather than face tho trouble which an attempted removal would mean, the powers that be will rather bear the Httla Inconveniences that occur in keeping the headquarters at Vancouver. At the same time it is stated by some officers that some day Seattle will slip In quietly and pull the head quarters away from Vancouver before any one knows anything about it. XO CHANGE IX Dt'XXE'S SA3LARY. Compensation of the Portland Col lector Will Remain as at Present. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Aug. S. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Yerkcs has decided that when Collector Crocker formally assumes charge of the new Internal revenue dis trict of Washington, the terms of the deputies In Washington and Alaska will expire, because they are holding -office under appointment by Collector Dunne, at Portland. Deputies are now located at Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane, and at two places in Alaska. The one at Ta coma will not be needed in the new dis trict, because the headquarters will be located there. Collector Crocker, how ever, will have the four other good places at his disposal and may reappoint the old deputies or select new ones, as he will.

SHORTEST LINE TO THE PACIFIC X'exr York Stock Brokers Circular Connects Gould Railroad Inter ests With Salt Lnkc-Coos Bay Project Clark Out of It. A circular Issued by J. L. McLean & Co.. bankers and brokers. 25 Broad street. New York City, sets forth the merits and advantages of the Gould system of rail roads, and speaks of the connection of the Goulds with the Great Central Railroad projected between Coos Bay and Salt Lake City. It Is accompanied by a map that shows the extent of the Gould lines, and incidentally makes it plain that the pro jected line to Coos Bay Is much the short est route to the Pacific about 1S5 miles shorter from Salt Lake City than any other. The circular In part Is as follows: To those familiar with financial news It la apparent that the aim of all the great rail road men of the country has been to connect a system of rallroad3 which would go from ocean to ocean and reach the Canadian border and the Gulf of Mexico. The Vanderbllt fam ily has spent more than one lifetime In at tempting to accomplish It sarely. Such experts as J. P. Morgan and J. J. Hill considered it of enough Importance to permit the famous May panic of last year to take place rather than part with their holdings ot Northern Pacific and their connection to the Atlantic seaboard by way ot the Erie. The circular recites the steps through which the Goulds have sought to strength en the position of their properties, show ing that the Gould railroads now reach the Atlantic seaboard, the Gulf of Mexico and Canada, and cover a large producing section of the Mississippi Valley with a network of tracks. The only thing lack ing to give the system the balance that has so long been -sought Is the Pacific Coast line. On this matter the circular speaks as follows: The Great Central, now building between Coos Bay and Salt Lake City, with an exten sion to Portland, la believed to be for the pur pose of supplying the missing link to the Pa cific Coast for the great Gould system. Al though denials of this fact have baen made by pcople actively In charge of the building oper ations, it Is the general belief through best posted financial channels that the money Is being furnished for this road by the Gouldi and their associates. Certain It Is that they jf'tfs'S1- make the best possible use of a read through Coos Bay. and a branch to Portland, and until substantial evidence- to the contrary Is forthcoming, mere technical and perfunctory denials will not suffice, and the theory that the Goulds are the backers of the Great Central will be accepted as plausible and worthy of belief. This circular was Intended for circulation among foreign Investors, and it was quite Incidental that a copy reached Portland yesterday. Those who have watched the situation, however, see other evidences of the connection of the Goulds with the Coos Bay project. The Clark scheme for a railroad between Salt Lake City and Los Angeles was said to have the promise of a Gould connec tion at Salt Lake City. That is why the Oregon Short Line fought the Clark enterprise so desperately, and came near defeating It altogether. When peace was patched up to permit the Clark construc tion to proceed, the Gould Interests were not entirely pleased. It is said that Sen ator Clark's arrangement with Mr. Har nman was of. such character that tho Goulds could not command the Salt Lake City-Los Angeles cut-off in their own In terest, If that Interest should happen to be opposed to that of the Harriman lines. Therefore the Goulds do not feel called upon to help Clark to traffic arrangements that will encourage the completion of his road to Los Angeles. That Is said to be at the bottom cf the fact that much of the vigor seems to have left that railroad en terprise. Of course. Senator Clark has money enough to build that or any other railroad he may take a fancy to. but he is not in the habit of making such Investments for the fun of it, and it Is not doubted that If traffic arrangements shall fail the Clark road will be made a local line, to serve some of the Senator's mining properties in that quarter of the world, and the Goulds will look elsewhere for an outlet to the Pacific. The McLean circular la regarded as a pretty strong intimation that the Goulds have already forsaken the Clark line, and will get to the Pacific sea board at Coos Bay over the Great Central. The fact that the Coos Bay line 'is shorter than any other from Salt Lake by about 155 miles Is a matter that is to be considered. Another important fact is that trade routes tend northward rather than southward. The route from Cooa Bay to the Orient and Siberia is materially shorter and easier than from either San Pedro or San Francisco. Then there Is the great trade of Alaska, which will cer tainly be better served from Coos Bay than from San Pedro. Coos Bay is also a much better harbor than San Pedro. All these considerations must weigh in determining what Pacific port will be reached by so Important a transportation agency as tho Gould railway lines. That ground is not now occupied, and terminals there will be less expensive than at ports where brisk competition is already established. Gaynor and Greene Asa I a in Conrt. QUEBEC, Aug. S. Messrs.
