EDWARD, KING OF ENGLAND
AND EMPEROR OF INDIA
London Celebrates the Event for Which
the World Has Waited as Perhaps
for No Other Coronation.
Pathetic Incident Marks Festivities Aged Bishop of Can
tertery Swoons While Preparing to Crown H s
Majesty-King Tenderly Assists Him
Father Embraces Son.
LONDON, Aug. 9.-E Iward VII. R. I.
by the gnue of Ool f the United
KliiK'toiii of Orettt flrliain and Ire-
land unit Trltlnh Dominion! l-yond the
en. KinK, Defender of the Kulth, Em
peror of India, wn today crowned,
and tonight !ondnn in nolsly ctkbrnt
Ing the event for which the world has
wulted a, perhai, It never availed
another coronation.
In ull respect the cel-Unr.lon was
Impressive and It ni cnrrl;d out with
tho perfection of every deull and lack
of accident that ha rarely charac
terised similar displays. Earl Robert
coinmander-ln-thlef of the forces a
nce more the hero of .he hour, and
next to the king himself received the
heartlem welcome of the assembled
crowd, and at varlou point along
the route of the procession Lord
Kitchener received thunderous ova
tion.
Hut It was for the King and Queen
themselves that the ieople teally let
thtniH-vr looe. Whenever and wher
ever their majesties were een the
cheer were loud and long and espec
(ally as thl m on the return Jour
ney of the King and Queen to the
iiiicklnithnm Pulace.
Until the booming of gun announc
ed that the crowning of King Ed
ward and Queen Alexandria had been
achieved there lingered In thousand
of minds the nervou apprehension
that even at the lint moment ome
uniownru event mignt once more
plunge th nation Into consternation.
When thl wn passed the unrestrain
ed JuMlltlo.il wan n 'tiurh a tribute
to the king- personal popularity ns It
was an evidence of ellef from t
tension of last week. While the scenes
In the streets were robbed of the many
elements mat usually accompany a
great pageant, they will long bo re.
membered by those who mood tn the
stand, at the window and on the
sidewalks to see King Edwtrd after
he had won almost from theJaws of
hi crown.
In Westminster Abbey the fccene wa
nothing less than marvellous. Nearly
7000 member of the nobility, clergy
and sentry hud gathered with the for
eign prince, ambassador, colonist
rulers, Indian potenta.? and leader
from the furthereet quarter of the
globe to do honor to the king. Two
Incidents In the service In tho abbey
will live in the memory of all vho wit
nessed them. The first of Jhese en
tered around the aged Archbishop of
Canterbury, From the commence
ment of the service the archbishop lad
the greatest difficulty !n rending or
remembering the prayer, end when
he came to place the crown upon King
Edward' head It was discovered that
he had the crown back to front. A
few minutes later came the climax of
his feebleness, He was kneeling to
do the first homage of all the sub
jects of the king when suddenly he al
most fainted and would have fallen
upon the soverelga's knees had not
King Edward tendirly grasped both
the prelate's hands and lifted blm to
his feet. The tremor which this event
caused had scarcely subsided when an
other exquisitely human touch varied
the proceedings and the king was for
gotten In the father. Instead of mere
ly receiving the homage of the Prince
of Wales, King Edward pi t his arms
around the prince and kissed him, end
then recalled him and wrung his hand
with the manliness of parental affec
tion that brought tears to many eyes.
To those who were able to see clearly
these two. episodes, tho magnificence
of bejtweled women, th! splendor of
the uniform, even the hltttorle gran
ur of the coronation office itself sank
almost In secondary Interest.
No stage effect could have equaled
the climax that ensued the moment
the crown was placed upon the king
head. The sudden Illumination by
hundred of electrls light making
the thousand of priceless Jewels. In
cluding those in the crown Itself, to
sparkle with a dawllng brilliancy. The
Instantaneous movement of the peer
esses in the placing of their coronets
upon their heads, the choir's loud
"God Save the King," with its refrain
from thousands of throats, constitut
ed uch an outburst of pent-up thank
fulness and rejoicing us even West
mlnter Abbey, with all It hotiloc
traditions, has never before witnessed.
ISLAND SEPARATES HERSELF
FOIl CORONATION FESTIVITIES
DUBLIN, Aug. 9.-.t a meeting of
the Irish national parliamentary par
ty today, John Redmond ald the par
ty had formally withdrawn from par
tllcpatlon In the coronation celebration
and had assembled for the purpose of
protesting against the usurpation of
the Irish government by England. King
Edward, he added, was not the consti
tutional monarch of Ireland.
The resilutlon adopted declared that
"Ireland separate herself from the
coronation rejoicing of her merciless
orpreesor and stands apart In her
rightful discontent and disaffection."

the palace and the Mall was extreme
ly animated. The roof of the Dalace
and thoe of all surrounding buildings

constantly arriving members of the
roval family with their suites and the
appearance of other participant In
the procewlon elicited cheers those
varying In degree to the popularity of
the personage recognized by the peo
ple. The Duke of Connaught who rode
down the Mall tn an automobile for
the purpose of seeing that the mili
tary arrangement along the rou'.e
were complete, was heartily cheered.
Almost a animated wa the scene

by the reception accord;! to the men
of the naval brigade as they r arched

a favored position guarding the route
