DELHI. India, Jan. L Tens of thou
sands of people from the City of Delhi and
from villages far and near began gather
ing at daybreak this morning on the great
plain outside the city. There they waited
patiently for the supreme announcement of
the durbar, that King Edward was Emper
or of India. Soon the great plain was filled
with crowding masses of people, and the
brightly colored clothing of the vast
throng covered the space with gorgeous
hues. The crowd on the plain was com
posed largely of the common people, but
among It could be seen the retainers of
the various Rajaha who had assembled
for the function.
The attention of all was fixed upon the
white amphitheater In the center of the
plain, where the announcement was to
be made. The amphitheater was adorned
with gilded cupolas and surrounded by
batteries, squadrons and battalions of the
Indian army. Beyond the amphitheater.
In the distance, could be seen great num
bers of elephants, camels and horse?. So
vast was the multitude that the troops
appeared as mere splashes of color. The
arrival at the amphitheater of the Viceroy
of India, Lord Curzon of Kedleston, and
other dignitaries and the Princes, was
one of the brilliant episodes of the day.
The Princes were clad in silks and
adorned with jewels, and their horses and
carriages were brilliant with trappings of
Cold.
Spectacle I Striking.
The spectacle within the arena was most
striking and gorgeous. The Pathan chiefs
and the Sirdars were resplendent in bril
liant raiment. Soldiers, civilians and vis
itors from far-distant countries were in
cluded among those within the amphithea
ter. Upon the entrance of the veterans of
the Indian mutiny there was tremendous
enthusiasm, and as the arrivals marched
to their places the bands played national
airs. The carriage of the Duke of Con
naught, who represents King Edward, was
escorted by a detachment of cavalry; as
the Duke and the Duchess were driven
around the arena the assemblage gave
them an enthusiastic welcome. Amid the
acclamations of the people the Duke took
his seat at the left of the throne, while
the Duchess proceeded to a place behind
the throne.
When the great amphitheater was filled
and the hour for the announcement drew
near, the multitude within and without
awaited expectantly the first act of the
proclamation ceremony. Then the ap
proach of the Viceroy was heralded. Pre
ceded by members of his bodyguard, clad
in white, blue and gold, and under the
command of Major Grimston, Lord Curzon
appeared at the entrance of the arena in
his carriage. The postillions wore uni
forms of scarlet and gold, and the ca
rlage was drawn by four bay horses. The
Viceroy was escorted by Sir Pertab Fingh.
Alighting from his carriage. Lord Curzon
mounted the dais to the throne, which
was decorated with golden Hons and
around which were placed massive silver
footstools. The throne Itself was sur
mounted by a canopy of white and' gqjd.
When the Viceroy reached the throne
the national anthem was played and a
salute "of 21 guns was fired. When the
spectators had resumed their seats after
the anthem, there was a flourish of trum
pets from the heralds and Major Maxwell,
at the command of the Viceroy, read the
proclamation opening the durbar. The
royal standard was then raised on high
and the imperial salute was fired. The
massed bands marched by playing, bon
fires were started by the troops outside
andit was announced that King Edward
was Emperor of India.
Speech of the Emperor.
There was another flourish of trumpets
and Lord Curzon arose and stood for a
moment impassive. Then, in impressive
tones; he delivered a speech and read the
message from King Edward. In his ad
dress the Vicqroy announced the corona
tion of the King, extolled the loyal Indian
people, and prophesied prosperity for Ike
Indian Empire. He said also that it had
been decided not to exact Interest for
three years on all loans made or guaran
teed by the Government of India from the
native states In connection with the recent
famine. The Viceroy announced also the
abolition of the Indian staff corps, which
baff long been an army sinecure.
In the King's message, which was then
Tead by Lord Curzon, His Majesty said
that the Prince and Princess of Wales
would shortly visit India. He regretted
his absence from the durbar, and sent
his greetings to his Indian people. In
conclusion. King Edward said:
"I renew the assurances of my regard
for the liberties of the Indian people; of
my respect for their dignities and rights;
of my Interest in their advancement and
of my devotion to their welfare. These
are the supreme aims' and objects of my
rule which, under the blessing of Almighty
God. will lead to the increasing prosperity
of my Indian Empire and to the greater
happiness of its peoples."
As the Viceroy finished reading the
King's words, the assembled people broke
into cheers for the King and Emperor
The cheering was taken up by the multi
tude outside the amphitheater, . and was
long sustained.
There then followed the presentation 01
Indian Princes to the Viceroy and the
Duke of Connaught, and political officers
paid homage to the sovereign. This enfi -d
the ceremony, and the royal cortege then
left the arena, followed by the delegates
from foreign powers, and the Indian
Princes.
Lord Kitchener, after the ceremonies,
entered his carriage and was driven to
Delhi.
The whole ceremony was favored with
sunshine.
Lady Curzon was dressed in pale blue
chiffon trimmed with passementerie. She
wore a flower hat. Lord Curzon was In
a full political uniform. Lord Curzon
spoke for 30 minutes, standing most of
the time with one foot on a silver foot
stool. After the presentation of the notabilities
the Viceroy and Duke of Connaught
stepped forward and shook hands with
Lady Curzon.
MAPLE, FURNITURE MAX, IS HURT.
Lord. Curxon'o Allnnlon to His Pro

LONDON, Jan. L Lord Curzon has
brought' on himself, the wrath of the fur
niture dealers of Great Britain ty a dis
paraging allusion in his speech at the
opening of the art exhibition at Delhi
December SO, to "Totenham Court Road
furniture, its cheap Italian mosaics and
flaming Brussels carpets," and appealing
to the Maharajahs to furnish their pal
aces with Indian work rather than these
British products. Sir John Blundell Ma
ple, M. P., who is governor of a large
firm of furniture dealers of the Totten
ham Road, leads the attack and clinches
his indictment with showing a letter dat
ed Calcutta from Lord Curzon, ordering
carpets and requesting that the order be
flupllcated y.early.
Early in the morning she visited the
tomb of her husband, and remained for
some time in meditation. She also visited

tice Fuller. Then followed the Judges
of the United States Court of Claims and
of the District Court of Appeals and of
the Supreme Court of the District, ex
Cabinet mombers and ex-Mlnlstcrs of the
United States.
At 11:30 the reception of Senators, Rep
resentatives and delegates began. Seem
ingly there were fewer than in former
years, owing largely to the- fact that many
Congressmen have not returned to Wash
ington from their holiday vacations. Fol
lowing the Congressional came the mili
tary contingent, composed of olllcers of
the Army and Navy and Marine Corps,
together with the general staff of the mi
litia of the District of Columbia.
General Miles, who is in China, and
Admiral Dewey, who is at Culebra Island,
and who led the military procession last
year, were both absent. Major-General
Young, next in rank to General Miles, ac
companied by Major-General Corbln, Adjutant-General
of the Army, led the line
of Armv officers, who preceded the Navy.
At the "head of the lntter were Rear-Admirals
Remey and Melville. General Hey
wood, commandant of the Marine Corps,
with his detachment, preceded the District
militia.
Xeiv Army Uniforms.
The Army officers appeared for the first
time as a body in their new dress uni
forms. The new cap with flaring top
which has taken the place of the old cap.
which was inclined to lose shape with
wear, is a distinctive feature of the
change. The frocks are elaborately orna
mented, thus producing a more showy
effect. The gold bedecked full dress of the
Army ofHcers.the bullion-laden garb of the
naval officers, and the gorgeous attire of
the marine officers, the last more con
spicuous for color, presented a spectacle
no whit less than that of the diplomatic
corps.
At the conclusion of tills feature of the
reception, the assistant secretaries of tho
departments. Assistant Attorney-Generals,
Assistant Postmaster-Generals and vari
ous heads of bureaus, were received. In
this section. VIce-Governor Luke Wright,
of the Philippines, was a notable figure.
Tho President gave him a most cordial
greeting. Then were received the Soci
ety of the Cincinnati, the Associated Vet
erans of the War. of 1S46-47. the military
order of the Loyal Legion, the Grand
Army, the Union Veteran Legion, the Un
ion Veterans' Union, Spanish War Vet
erans, and the members of the Oldest
Inhabitants' Association of the District
of Columbia.
At 1 o'clock the reception to citizens
generally began. For hours hundreds of
people of all ages, color, sexes and conditions-
had been waiting to greet the Prca
ident and receive his greeting. The line
passed slowly through the main entrance
of the White House across the corridor
into the red room and thence past tho
President in the blue room. The Presi
dent had a happy, cheerful greeting for
all.
The throng was typically American,
hearty, fine-looking and well-dressed.
The weather was so delightful that none
suffored from the long wait In tne line.
There was some slight delays as the
President exchanged pleasantries with
some particular person. Occasionally tho
President varied tho formality of the
receiving by inviting some personal
friend or dignitary to take place with
the receiving party.
Mrs. Roosevelt endured the long strain
of the reception admirably. A few min
utes before the close of the reception 2Ir.;.
Roosevelt, not knowing how long It might
yet continue, left the President's side and
was escorted by Captain Cowles to
luncheon In the private apartments of the
mansion.
Interested in the Babies.
Tho gates were closed at 2:25, the lino
by that time having passed within the
grounds. The reception of callers was
concluded at 2:31. The President, after
chatting a few minutes with the re
ceiving party, retired to his private
apartments for luncheon. According to
programme, tho reception should have
ended at 2 o'clock, but tho President di
rected that all persons In line should
be afforded an opportunity of entering
the White House and being received. The
total number of callers fell a trifle short
of 7000. The President extended a cordial
greeting and handshake to each one. He
was particularly interested in the babies,
many of whom were carried by their
parents. At the conclusion of the re
ception the President manifested little
fatigue, and expressed hln-self! as being
delighted at the opportunity he had en
joyed of meeting so many oi his friends.
The police arrangements were under the
personal supervision of Major Sylvester
and Captain Wllkie, of the Secret Service,
was present with agents of his corps.

line with hands in pockets or -covered.
So perfect were tho arrangements that
not a hitch occurred throughout the en

Interesting Question Raised at Sci
ence Consrrcss Carroll D. Wrljrht
Elected President for This Year.
WASHINGTON. Jan. L At today's ses
sion of the American Association for tho
Advancement of Science resolutions of
regret on the death of Major Walter Reed,
surgeon. United States Army, were adopt
ed, and a committee authorized to secure
a suitable permanent memorial to Major
Reed In recognition of his benefaction to
the race, in solving the problem of the
spread of yellow fever. About 30
prominent scientists of the country
were elected fellowa of the associa
tion. A large number of papers on tech
nical subjects were read at the various
meetings of the sections during the day.
One of the Interesting papers of the day
was by Professor Burt G. Wilder, of Cor
nell University, before the section of
zoology on 'Some Questions as to the Ar
rangement for the Primates." According
to the views advanced by Professor Wil
der there should be a rearrangement In
the present classification of apes and man.
The brain he considers as affording the
best criterion on which to determine
their affinities and divestments. Inci
dentally he rhowed that the brain of the
orangoutang appeared more nearly that
of man, and that. Judged by this charac
ter, the orang-outang should rank next
after man. Instead of tho gorilla. This
paper provoked much discussion.
Another Interesting paper read today
was by Professor W. J. McGee, on "Indian
Arrow Poison." Professor McGee ex
plained that the poison often was ap
plied to the bow instead of the arrows,
or that spells were put on the weapons
which, it was believed, would 'cause th'-
death of the victim. In other instances,
he said, the Indians daubed their arrow
points with putrefying mutter, which pro
duced septicemia In the person struck and
thereby resulted in death.
The American Association for the Ad
vancement' of Science tonight elected the
following officers for the ensuing year
after selecting St. Louis. Mo., as the
place for the next meeting, beginning
December 28, 1903:
President. Carroll D. Wright. Washing
