SUNSHINE HIES
LONDON HAPPY
Coronation Week Opens Will)
Unusual Gaiety
EDWARD’S HEALTH IS GOOD
Streets Are Packed and Decoration*
Are Lavish—American Flags
Are In Evidence—Walder
see Is Entertained.
London, Juno 22.—The reappearance to
day of brilliant sunshine, after week* of
rain and murky weather, gave to the first j
day of coronation week an air of un- |
usual gaiety and gladdened the hearts of j
thousands of Brittsn subjects from all i
parts of the empire and thousands of for
eigners who are pouring into London ea- •
ger to witness as much of this week’s
events ns possible.
The announcement that King Edward
Queen Alexandra and the court would
return to Ixmdon tomorrow from Windsor
at noon increased the universal anticipa
tions for that day and served to quiet, to
some extent, the flood of extraordinary
rumors concerning the king's physical
condition, varied in some quarters by
weird tnls of plots to assassinate his ma
jesty and other fictions, all of which
have been promptly denied by the offic
ials most intimately connected with the
king.
Edward’s Health Good.
King Edward’s health was authorita
tively declared to be good at Windsor
Castle today and this morning his ma
jesty attended c.vlne service, accompa
nied by other mem^erp of the royal fam
ily. This evening he enjoyed a drive
through the royal gardens of Windsor
Castle in a closed carriage. The court
will arrive at Buckingham Palace tomor
row before luncheon time.
At the command of the King many
thousand persons were admitted to the
fast terrace of Wirdsor Castle this af
ternoon for the Sunday band concerts.
The terrace was crowded. The King and
the Queen listened to the music from the
windows of their private apartments.
King Edward’s appearance does not Jus
tify the sensational rumors of his ill
necs. The crowded condition of the streets
of London throughout furnished an omen
of the conditions of travel through these
streets the latter days of this week. The
barriers acrots the streets which inter
sect those through which the corona
tion processions will pass and which have
now been completed, are proving an Im
pediment to ordinary traffic. Today it
was impossible to proceed farther than
at a Bnall’B pace through the thorough
fares between Hyde Park and the Man
sion House.
Omnibus Rates Raised.
The omnibus companies have increased
previous fares two and three times, and
lurther increases in these rates are prob
able. The obtaining of a seat on an om
nibus, however, was today more a ques
tion of physical than financial ability.
Kensington Gardens and the beautttul
grcves about the Cryotal and Alexandria
palaces are filled with colonial and na
tive troops clad in scarlet, white, khaki
and blue untfoims.
The throngs In the streets at night
find much to engage the eye. The fronts
of Innumerable buildings are hung with
lighted decorations and the Venetian
masts are covered with garlands and
connected by strands of roses. The
streets are filled with mile after mile of
many colored lights and the various
stations along the route of procession
are marked with arches representing
Great Britain’s colonies. American flags
were In evidence at a great number of
window's. Some hotels are flying both
American and British flags from their
staffs, in honor of the many American
visitors domiciled within.
Count Von Waldersee Entertained.
Count Von Waldersee. one of the Ger
man representatives to the coronation:
the Duke and Duchess of Aesta from
Italy and many other distinguished rep
resentatives of foreign royal personages
arrived at London today.
Count Von Waldersee and the German
officers with him. were entertained at
dinner tonight by Field Marshall Lord
Roberts. In toasting King Edw'nrd and
the British army, Count Von Waldersee
paid a high compliment to Earl Roberts
and the British army in South Africa.
Replying to the German officer’s re
marks. Earl Roberts complimented Count
Von Waldersee upon his distinguished
services in China and warmly thanked
him in behalf of the British army, for
his allusions to its work in the Trans
vaal.
Earl Roberts concluded by calling for
a toast to Emperor William and the Ger
man army.
Obeying Physicians.
King Edward s dally life for the past
week has been regulated to conform very
closely to his physicians’ advice and this
regime has had a very beneficial effect in
bringing about his rapid recovery from
his recent disposition *. retires early,
and rises late. He breakfasts alone and
receives the fewest possible guests. He
has even failed to attend some of the
private morning services at Windsor Cas
tle. All state business possible has been
put aside. His majesty has occupied the
spare hours of the past week in playing
quiet games with members of his own
household in his own room.
Many of the privileged persons who
will occupy seats In Westminster Abbey
will see little if anything of the actual
coronation ceremonies.
Quite a number of the peeresses and
others who were admitted to the abbey to
witness the recent coronation rehearsals
were chagrined to find how' little could
he seen from the seats allotted to them
and In consequence they have decided not
to occupy these seats, but to accept in ;
preference invitations to view the pro
cession from points along the route of
march where they will not have to wait
so long and where there will be less re
straint. A number of stats in the abbey
including those of the judges, only com
mand a view of the roynl procession as It
enters the building.
Queen Alexandra was seen in Windsor
Park yesterday riding horsebac.v for the
first time in many years.
An unruly crowd which gathered today
to witness the military church parade had
to be scattered with a stream of water
from a fire hose.

Milner Takes Oath.
Pretoria, June 22.—Lord Milner, who
was British high commissioner In South
Africa, took the oath as the governor of
Transvaal here today In the presence of
a large assemblage of people. He was
heartily cheered by those present and
a salute In his honor was fired from
the fort.

—
The First Methodist church was filled
to overflowing last night. Tho Rev. Dr
D. Asa Blackburn, pastor of * -c church
of the Strangers In New' York, rend the
gospel lesson and preached a stirring ser
mon. Dr. McForrln Introduced him In a
few cordial remarks. Dr. Blackburn Is an
Alabamian, having been born at Athens.
His pastoral charge la one of the most
Important In the gTcat metropolis. The
Church of the Strangers was built by the
Vanderbilts and the late Dr. Deems wns
Its pastor for many years.
Dr. Blackburn’s topic Inst night was the j
story of David. lie gave a graphic sketch
of the great singer, from the time of his
encounter with Goliath to the end of his
eventful career. The lesson drawn from
the narrative was that no matter how low'
one might 9lnk In sin, repentance and
walk with God would bring salvation.
Very Impressive and thrilling was his
emphasis of the fact that after David’s
gins had been forgiven he was made to
suffer terrible punishment; and so It
would be with every one guilty of Da
vid’s crimes.
Dr. Blackburn hns a fervid style and
his delivery Is altogether pleasing. In
reading the Scriptures he expounds and
his remarks on the gospel last night were
equal to a sermon. Before beginning his
discourse he complimented the choir,
and said those who came to hear the
music W'ere fitting themselves for the
enjoyment of heaven.
The musical programme was exception
ally devotional. The choir and congrega
tion united In singing several familiar
hymns. Mr. Walter Drennen sang "The
Unclouded Day," and although he was
suffering with a cold, his voice rang
out In moving tones. He was wonderful
ly sympathetic and his vocalization re
vealed his excellent schooling. Few
nobler voices have ever been heard In
Birmingham than Mr. Drennen’s.
Miss Norma Schoolar sang a church
hymn to the music of "Down on the
Suanee iRver’’ ana so tender and solemn
was It that many persons were affected
to tears. Miss Schoolar also sang Ros
sini’s "Inflammatus," supported by the
chorus. English words were employed
in place of the Latin.
After the benediction Miss Schoolar
and Mr. Drennen sang a duet.

Inspector Will Recommend Establish
ment of Two Routes.
Columbus. Miss., June 23—(Special.)—
Rural Free Delivery Inspector W. C.
Watson has returned to this city after
Inspecting four routes In this county. It
Is understood that he will make the
recommendations to the department for
the establishment of the two routes be
ginning at this place, going about eight
miles west and another going twelve
miles south, and a route beginning In
I the northern part of the county at
Caledonia and making a circle to the
south of about twenty-five miles, also
a route beginning at Crawford and mak
ing a northern circle to connect with
; the route out of here to Trinity. If the
department grants these four recommen
dations this section will be well supplied
and will be greatly henefltted by the
| much needed Improvement.
The Columbus people have been greatly
worried the past week on account of the
trcuble at the Water WorkB plant, eman
ating from the valve through which the
water has to pass before It reaches of
pump station. This trouble has now been
entirely remedied by sending to Mobile
for a diver, who has completed the work
and says the trouble will not necessarily
occur again.
Congressman Chandler has appointed
Ervin E. Hudson of Stnrksville, but for
merly of this city, as cadet at the West
Point Military Academy from this Con
prtsslonal district. He has also appointed
Mr. Claude Banks Mayo from this city
as alternate.

SANITARY LAWS
SAVE MANY LIVES
OEN. WHEATON WILL NOT DIS
CUSS CRUELTY OHAROES BUT
SAYS AMERICANS HAVE INSTI
TUTED GREAT HEALTH SYSTEM
Ban Francisco, June 22.—Maj.-Gen.
Lloyd Wheaton, who arrived last even
ing from the Philippine* on the United
Btate* ship Sherman, which was held
In quarantine, return* in fairly good
health. He left for Manila In January,
1899. and ha* been In active service ever
since.
General Wheaton would not talk on
the charges of cruelty made against the
American soldiers in the Philippines,
but he made this statement as showing
what American ocoupauon meant:
"The devastations ol war have cost
many lives and tho loss among the na- *
tlves ha* no doubt been very large, but |
when one takes into consideration the |
hundreds of thousands of lives that have I
been saved by reasons of the sanitary j
precautions of the American army and I
the civil commission, that loss by war
serms Infinitesimal.
"Smallpox became epidemic soon after
the Americans took Munllt., and would
have caused frightful mortality among
the natives, as well as among the troops,
but for the regulations and precautions
of the medical authorities of our army.
Compulsory vaccination was held In ev
ery city, province, town and throughout
the country. In that way we saved thous
ands of lives. In General Bell’s depart
ment 300,000 were vaccinated. Later when
the bubonic plogue seemed to obtain a
foothold in the Philippines, the army
stamped it out by determined action. At
the present cholera is raging, and I be
lieve the health officers have the dis
ease well under control. These dangers
have been met and overcome by Ameri
cans.”
APPEALS F0R~
ARBITRATION.
^Continued from First Pago)
any necessity for this triple charge op
hard coal, for all other kinds of freight
very much more troublesome to handle
and more perishable—are carried at a far
lower rate.
"In connection with this section atten
tion is respectfully directed to the fact
that a ton of coal as the consumer un- i
derstands It Is not a ton of coal as the
miner ta paid for It; that when the con
sumer purchases a ton of coal he re
ceives 2240 pounds, a legal ton; when the
railroad companies transport coal to mar
ket they receive tariff upon 2240 pounds,
a legal ton; but when the miner Is being
paid for his labor ho Is required to ©re
duce and load from 2740 to 3190 pounds for
a ton; and It is against this flagrant in
justice that the anthracite mine W'orkers
so vigorously and justly protest.
As to the Docking System.
"The operators say, of course, that the
excess weight la required to compensate
them for impurities and refuse matter
that is leaded with the coal and cannot
be marketed; but If their statement be
true, why is it necessary to continue a
system of docking by which at times they
arbitrarily deduct from a miner's earn
ings from 10 to 15 per cent of the total
as a penalty for loading impurities for
which they have already penalized him
In excess weight? The miners have asked
that the coal they produce shall be hon
I cstiy weighed and correctly recorded.
"This recital of facts disposes of the 1
operators’ claim that they cannot afford
to pay living wages for faithful service
and unceasing toil amid surroundings
constantly fraught with the gravest dan
ger.
"The rfports of the mine inspectors’
bureau of the State of Pennsylvania showr
that during the past decade the average
yearly fatalities In the anthracite coal
mines were 437, and that for the year
1901 there were 484 fatal and 1256 non
fatal accidents; this means that for every
119.000 tons of coal brought to the sur
face one person is killed and more than
two seriously Injured; that for each day
the mines are in operation more than two
j persons lives are sacrificed and more,
than five persons are injured. It is a mat
ter of record that eight times as many
men and boys are killed and injured an
nually In the anthracite coal mineB of
Pennsylvania than w'ere killed and
wcunded from the \merican ranks !n the
Sr^nish-Amcricsn war.
Not a Lawless Class.
"Yet if one were to credit the stories
that appear In the columns of the daily
press It would seem that the men who
dally risk their lives working In the
bowels of the earth were a lawless class.
That they have been grossly maligned
Is proved by the records of the police
courts and the testimony of the chiefs of
police departments of the four largest I
mining communities In the anthracite
field, namely. Scranton, Wilkesbarre.
Hazelton and Shamokln. The reports
prove there has been no Infraction of the
law and fewer arrests during the time
the strike has been In progress than n
like period preceding It. It Is now appar
ent that the real purpose of the coni op
erators Is to destroy organization among
their workmen. If by any chance they
should succeed In this design—which Is
rot at all likely—another labor organiza
tion will spring from the ruins of the
United Mine Workers of America, and
the contest for living wages, for hu
mane conditions of employment, for bet
ter education, for higher citizenship will
go on until the men who produce coal,
the originating motor power which drives
the wheels of commerce and industry,
the product that is so essential to th
welfs.ro of society, the mineral which
Is the very foundation of our national
prosperity, shall receive for their labor
sufficient compensation to relieve them
of the necessity of sending their boys
and girls of tender years and fra'I phy
sique to the mines and mills th?re to de
stroy their youthful vlg >- in an effort to
assist their under paid parents to main
tain their families.

En Route from Niagara.
Toronto, Ont., June 22.—The first at
tempt made by the Toronto street railway
to run their cars with men hired to take
the. places of the striking motormen and
conductors was met with violence. Only
one effort was made to reopen traffic and
the temper shown oy the strikers and
their sympathizers convinced the officials j
that It would be impossible for them to j
run cars without strong protection. It
was therefore decided to appeal to the \
authorities for troops and to suspend op
erations until their arrival tomorrow !
morning.
Stones, sticks, eggs and stale vegetables
were the weapons used by the strikers
and their sympathizers to prevent the .
railway company from giving a service.
Several of the imported men were rough- !
ly handled by the mob and Motorman
Johnson, an old employe of the company,
came near losing his life.
The worst riots occurred at the corner
cf Scollard and Yolge and Bloor and
Yonge streets In proximity’ to the York- i
vllle barns. Very few arrests were made |
and no one was fatally hurt.
Troops En Route.
Seven hundred and fifty mounted men
from the Niagara camp, consisting of
250 of the governor general’s body
guard, 200 mounted rifles and 250 men of
the first and second dragoons left Niag
ara with their horses in three special
trains at 10 o’clock tonight, and will
arrive tomorrow ' night. In addition 300
of the Queen’s Own. 200 grenadiers and
highlanders have been ordered to parade
at the armories. Several hundred po
licemen were also sworn in tonight.
This morning cars were started sim
ultaneously from the barns at Kings
street west, Yorkville and DundaB and
Yonge streets, east. A crowd had gath
ered about the entrances of the barns
awaiting developments. The appearance
of a car at the Yonge street barn was
the signal for hooting and yelling by
the crowd. The crowd called upon the
crew to desert the car. Their refusal to
do so was follow’ed by a shower of stones
and bricks. Every window in the car
was smashed and the crew left their
posts and ran into the barn.
Glass Cuts Motorman’s Face.
An nttempt was made to run a car
frem the Yorkville barns around the belt
line. A big stone thrown against the win
dow dashed the glass into Motorman
Johnson’s face, badly lacerating it. He
was struck byr a number of stones and
was otherwise maltreated. Johnson perse
vered, however, and made the circuit of
the line.
The attempt to run out five cars at
the King street east barns at 8 o’clock
was attended by scenes of the greatest
disorder and violence, several persons
being injured by flying missiles, including
Robert Moore, private secretary to Mac
Kenzie, president of the road. All of the
cRrs were badly' shattered. Motorman
Quigley was struck on the head by a
stone and badly injured.
Rumors Are False.
London, June 22.—Various wild ru
mors current in London tonight con
cerning the health of King Edward
were referred to Sir Francis Knollis,
private secretary to the King. To these
queries Sir Francis has telegraphed the
following reply from Windsor Castle:
"There is not one word of truth in
these reports."
