ASTORIA IS THRONGED
Coronation Ceremonies Take Place on
Deck of Bailey Gatzert While
Immense Grandstand Holds
Visiting Spectators.
THE CROWN
(Special Dlapats to The Journal.)
Astoria, Aug. 24. The 10th annual
regatta commenced this morning at 9
o'clock, when Queen Helen was crowned
at the big grandstand at the foot of
Eleventh street. The coronation cere
mony was witnessed by an Immense
crowd. Long before the hour set for
the opening exercises the grandstand
was packed with spectators, and thou
sands lined the adjoining wharfs. The
queen, her court. Admiral Campbell and
staff and other distinguished visitors ar
rived in front of the grandstand on the
flagship Bailey Oataert, on the deck of
which the coronation took place. The
ceremony was performed in full view
of the crowd, which lustily cheered her
majesty as she proceeded from the flag
t ship to the throne In the grandstand.
The weather Is superb. For a time
the committee feared rain might Inter
fere with the events arranged for the
regatta, but the sun came out glori
ously this morning. The crowds began
arriving Saturday, and every Incoming
train and boat has brought hundreds of
regatta visitors. The largest portion of
the crowd reached the city last night
, and this morning, and It la estimated
that the attendance this year is fully 40
per cent greater than that of any pre
vious year While the city is taxed to ac
commodate the vast crowd, the people
are doing everything possible to care
for their gueats.
Never before has so much Interest
been manifested In the regatta. People
are here from all parta of the north
west, and the seaside resorts contributed
some hundreds of visitors this morning.
The city Is crowded and, while It is
difficult to get anything like an ac
curate estimate of the number of visit
ors here, regatta committeemen place
the number of strangers at 4,000 to
7,000.
The flagship Bailey Oatzert presented
a magnificent appearance aa she came
alongside the " grandstand with Queen
Helen, Admiral Campbell and other re
gatta celebrities. Governor Chamber
lain and his staff occupied the forward
deck, while Queen Helen, surrounded by
her court and admiral and staff was
Mated on her throne.
As the flagship came down the course
she was greeted with deafening blaats
from the United States snips and other
veasls.
In front of the grandstand the corona
tion took place. The crown was placed on
the brow of her majesty by Admiral
Campbell and a golden scepter was
' banded her by Princess Virginia.
Then the ladles of the court, the ad
miral - and his staff and the governor
and his staff paid their compliments to
the queen. After a brief Jaunt over the
course the flagship returned to the
grandstand and the queen went to her
throne, while the band played, "America"
as her majesty ascended the stalrwax
At 11:10. Queen Helen and her court,
Admiral Campbell and staff and other
dignitaries were escorted to carriages
and took part in the street parade. The
parade took its way through the prin
cipal streets of the city, and the ap
' pearanoe of the queen was the 'signal for
continuous ovations. Everywhere her
majesty was enthusiastically greeted,
and she smilingly acknowledged her ap
preciation from the royal carriage.

BLACK HAND KILLS
YOUNG INFORMER
Murderer Is Pursued by Mob of Ex
cited Italians Which Attacks Police
Station Ib Efforts to Reach Prey.
(Journal Special Uerrlee.)
New York, Aug. 24. Salvator Bossotd,
aged 18, was shot to death today in hla
father's restaurant on Park street by
Carlo Roasattl, aged 35, because he had
disclosed to the police the secrets of the
alleged "Black Hand" society.
The father was knocked down and
choked by the slayer, who was pursued
by a mob of more than 1,000 Italians,
who later attacked the Elisabeth street
station In an attempt to get at Roasattl.
It la understood that Boaaoto revealed
a secret plan to murder and rob a party
of their countrymen on their way to
Italy.
This revelation. It Is understood, is
the outcome of work on the part of tile
detectives, in their efforts to secure in
formation against the "Black Hand,"
and which has been carried on by the
entire police system of this .city since
the kidnaping of the little Mannlno boy.
Although for a time there waa a ces
sation in the receipt of letters signed
by thla society in the past few days,
numerous wealthy Italians have been re
ceiving missives from apparently the
same source, bearing the signature of
the 'Five Skeletons," surmounted with
a skull and oroas bones. By many It is
thought these threatening letters ema
nate f worn the same head.
It la believed that the killing of young
Bossoto and the assault upon his father
will have the effect of causing others
who may be possessed of the secrets of
the organisation, and who maintain si
lence only under fear of a terrible
death, to give the police Information
that will enable them to ferret out the
head of the gang that Is causing so
much uneasiness In the homes of its
countrymen.
With this end in view every possible
effort Is being made to Induce several
who it is thought possess these secrets
to divulge them while the feeling It at
so high a pitch against the society.

Work and a Great Many
Hot Debates.
Salt Lake's star of hope la in the
ascendant Less than 24 hours intervene
until the mining congress la to choose
the site of Its permanent home, and tha
delegation from Utah expresses a con
fidence of victory over Denver that la
founded on a stronger rock than mere
desire.
If the Colorado city has a bomb to)
throw. It must be thrown before 2 p. m.
tomorrow. The hour of battle being so
near at hand. Salt Lake's representa
tion has set It down In black and white
that Denver will make no struggle for
the place. They feared at first that at
the last moment the Coloradoans would
come Into the convention with arms full
of proxies and carry the day. .but a
ruling by the committee on credentials
seems certain, limiting the voting power
of the congress to regularly appointed
delegates actually on the ground.
Proxies and new memberships will not
be recognised if a certain element haa
Its way. In other worda, a determined
effort is being made to confine the -voting
strength of esch state to the orig
inal and regular delegates. And as Col
orado has up to this hour net mqre than
three of these on the ground, against IS
or 20 duly accredited votes in the op
posing camp. Salt Lakers believe that
the tide cannot be turned.
Originally Secretary Mahon Informed
the delegates that proxies would not be
accepted, but when the other officers of
the congress arrived this ruling was set
aside. It Is to obtain a definite decision
from the committee on credentials that
the present warfare la being waged.
Denver Saws Wood.
Denver Is not showing her hand, what
ever it may be. None of her delega
tion will discuss her position.
"When the time comes," said Dele
gate Terry, "Denver will make her rep
resentations. Until then aba has noth
ing to say."
There Is a story current to the effect
that tonight or tomorrow a carload of
delegates will arrive from Colorado to
storm the congress. It is given cre
dence In some circles and ridiculed In
others. The extreme reticence of tha
delegates now on the ground makes it
practically Impossible to predict what
will happen. Denver has advanced many
arguments to obtain the home, but haa
not as yet come to the' front with a
substantial offering such aa Salt Lake's
$38,000 building site. The delegation has
contented Itself with the declaration
that If Denver wins the home "will be
taken care of." An assertion that no
body doubts.
El Paso will get the IMS session of
the American Mining congress, accord
ing to the result of caucuses held last
evening. The Utah delegation formed a
coalition with the Lone Star men' to
lend aid to give tha 1905 aeaslon to El
Paso, in return for support for perma
nent headquarters at Salt Lake. Final
action Is not to be taken until 2 p. m.
tomorrow, but there seems little doubt
of the Issue.
