President of Illinois Vire Company Stabbed to Death by Civil Engineer. Chicago. August 9 Walter A. Scott, president of the Illinois Wire Company, was stabbed to deatn in the Monadnock Build MAY CAUSE EXTRA SESSION rtuieuliut, IU llo the first homage of all the subjects of the King, when suddenly he almost fainted, and would have fallen upon his sovereign's knees had not King Edward tenderly, but firmly, grasped both the prelate's and lifted him to his feet. The Bishops of London, Winchester and Durham clasped their arms around the Archbishop of Canterbury, the King kissed his Vrinkled hand, the Archbishop's head' feil back, his feet moved slowly and mechanically and thus he was more carried than led from the throne to King Edward's Chapel, where he was revived.

A Touching Episode. The tremor which this event caused had scarcely subsided when another exquisitely human touch varied the proceedings, and the King was forgotten in the father. Instead of merely accepting the homage of the Prince of Wales, King Edward put his arms around the Prince and kissed him, and then recalled him and wrung his hahd with a manliness of parental affection that brought tears to many eyes. To those who were able to see clearly these two episodes, the magnificence of the bejeweled women, the splendor of the uniformed men, and even the historic grandeur of the coronation office itself sank almost into secondary interest. To night it is learned that King Edward was greatly unnerved by the condition of the Archbishop of Canterbury and that his majesty sat in constant dread of a though outwardly calm, as could be judged from the steadiness with which he held his scenter rod erect during the ordeal.

This brave, show, however, did not deceive the Queen. Throughout the service, and especially as the Archbishop of Canterbury became more and more her majesty palpably dreaded that the King would break down. With keen anxiety she constantly turned toward her husband, watching him intently throughout the ceremony. Her graceful dignity and solicitude for King Edward was one of the most charming features of the proceedings in the Abbey. Her majesty's appearance won extravagant encomiums, especially from the women, many of whom declared that Queen Alexandra did not look a day over 35.

Queen's Crowning Brief and' Simple. The Queen's own crowning was brief and simple. When the four duchesses went to hold a canopy over her majesty's' head, the Duchess of Marlborough and the Duchess of Portland led the way. They performed their duties, excellently. As the critical moment, for which the peeresses hod long piacticed, namely, the putting on their coronets at the moment the Queen was crowned, approached, a Uut ter of nervousness ran through their ranks and coronets were pulled out and patted and pinched into shape Faces hardened with anxiety and then arms suddenly went up and coronets, large and small, were put in place, some crooked and some straight.

For the next five minutes the peeresses what pissed before them; first one and then another turned around for advice aQd help, and then ensued a mutual pushing of eacb other's coronets Into place. Among the philosophic peeresses was the 'American, Cora, Lady Strafford, who placidly allowed her coronet to remain quite sideways, neither asking nor receiving help. Among the curious features connected with the American peeresses was the wearing by Lady Craven of old family robes once worn by the Queen of Bohemia, who married a former Earl Craven. Another incident relating royalty was the pre'seence of the Duchess of Mecklen burg Strelitz, who, at the express desire of Queen Alexandra, sat at exactly the same spot as she occupied at the coronation of Queen Victoria. No stage effect could have equaled the climax that ensued the moment the crown was placed upon King Edward's head, the sudden illumination by hundreds of electric lights making the thousands of priceless jewels, including those in the crown itself, to sparkle with dazzling brilliancy.

The Instantaneous movement of the peers, the placing of their coronets upon their heads, the choir's loud "God save the King," with its inharmonious, yet genuine, refrain from thousands of male and female throats, constituted such an outburst of pent up thank fulness and rejoicing as even Westminster Abbey, with all its historic traditions, never Deiore witnessed. Many Americans Witnessed Ceremony. Nearly one hundred Americans must have witnessed the ceremony in the Abbey. Among these were Mrs. Cushman, Mrs.

Davis and Mrs. Willard of Washington, Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Willard accompanying Sir John Agnew; Mme. Waddington, who was Queen Alexandra's specially invited guest; Mrs.

Baylies, Mrs. Hartman, Mrs. Post, Mrs. Dudley Leigh, Miss Astor. Mr.

and Mrs. Charles T. Yerkes, Lady Barrymore and Lady Michael Herbert. Marvelous Display of Jewels in the Abbey. What most struck the eye in the Abbey was the marvelous display of Jewels that certainly surpassed anything previously seen at a court function in England.

The combination of these with the magnificent robes and beauty of many of their wearers made a sight never to be forgotten. As beautiful as any coronet there was a pearl and diamond tiara worn by Lady Londonderry, the tucker of whose dress was heavily embroidered and covered with pearls and diamonds. She also wore a diamond stomacher with bracelets and earrings to match. The robe itself was embroidered in silver and gold worked in the pattern of the family arms and coronet and Was fashioned after the style In the days of George III, with big red velvet sleeves. The Duchess of Portland was superb in her great coronet of diamonds, in the center of which was the famous Portland stone, which flashed and sparkled In a thousand colors in the dim light.

The Duchess was the object of general attention early in the day before the important event of the occasion distracted people's minds. Her diamond necklace and magnificent ropes of pearls were unrivaled even by those worn by the Duchess of Westminster, whose jewels are old family heirlooms and have been regarded as without equal. Lady Chesterfield's coronet was one of the largest orn in the Abbey, no restriction seemingly having been made regarding its size. She had it especially made to suit her and it was In striking contrast to many others worn by peeresses, who seemed to have made it a point to ar the tiniest pos sjble coronets, just large enough to encircle the knot of hair vforn on top of their heads, a la Josephine. Americans Made the Bravest Show.

It was. perhaps, after the Americans who made the bravest show, and on this occasion, as on many others, they' played a very prominent part in the ceremor nies and contributed by their beauty, and Continued on Page Rhcc rnln to Snrutnisn.

Wicks of Rlobmond Hill, His Peripatetic Bookmaking Plan Had Worked Well Through the Season. SPORTS ARE THUNDERSTRUCK. "What Has Happened," They Ask. "to Break the System" Maybe This Was a Mere Mistake. The police raid on the reputed poolroom at 134 Flatbush avenue on Friday afternoon by tho detectives of the Bergen street station has sent a shiver of apprehension through the hundreds of habitues of the half dozen poolrooms in the Immediate neighborhood for fear that the man who runs them has finally lost his pull and is in imminent danger of being shut up.

This would be really a wonderful state of affairs, and until it is actually seen by the men who spend their money In the neigh borhood. in the "fond hope of taking part in the "opening of a melon," it will not be believed. The raid on Friday was caused by numerous complaints that had been lodged with Police Captain J. P. White.

The place where the raid was made is a rear room of a cigar store and the complainants charged that the cigar store proprietor runs a legitimate business and simply let the use of the back room for the hours In the afternoon that the races are on at the tracks. When the police were, asked whose pool room they had raided on Friday, they were 1 Fred not sure, but thev thougnt 11 was Lowe's." and, whether they were right or hot.

Tirt hn has nenchant for placing a little money on the races, but who cannot get down to the track, the mn who has the run of acquaintance of "Fred place is taih vester Invaluable, and the tip went forth yester day that "Fred" had lost his grip.

The raid of the alleged poolroom In the Flatbush avenue cigar store would not be so astonishing if this place had not bad Fre.l Lowe for a reputed owner. But it is more wonderful to think that the place was not tipped off in time to prevent any possible evidence from being found by the police on which to base a charge against 'Andy Alexander and "Gus" Williams, who were arrested. Frequenters of this place had gone there1 before and found "nothin' doing" and had been quietly tipped to go to the corner of Fifth and Atlantic avenues. For a week things would be all right at this point and then a mysterious Up would come In and the lookout would suggest to those who lounged about the room on the afternoon of. a race day that Fifth avenue and Bergen street would be aV good place to go to If one had a good thing, in his pocket.

This would Ust for two weeks and then the shades would be down and an upBlalrs room at the corner of Atlantic and Fifth avenues would be metamorphosed Into a club room, only a short while before the same club room having been down stairs. There was also another place on the circuit that was handy should certain tip come in. This was at the corner of avenue and Dean street. For years this circuit nas Desn Kept up and in no place have the talent been sure of finding anything doing for more than two weeks at the outside, but. as to a raid, it never was thought possible as the tips to close up or change the quarters came In with a sureness that was convincing and assuring.

There had been some little change, from the good old times of the former admlnis tration, it is true. The odds have not been so openly posted the last few months; the telegraph instruments have been out of sight recently, and no one has given the los ers a run for their money by shouting out the progress of the race as It came in over the wire, but, until Friday, it has always been easy to get money down on any horse at any meeting In the country, and in a place not far from the cigar store at 134 Flatbush avenue, for months it has been easy for women to bet money on the races. It is known to the habitues as "the women's place." No one has had the hardihood to charge the police of the various beats on which these poolrooms are located with being friendly to Fred Lowe or with tipping him off so regularly to keep moving about the circuit, which is less than a mile in diameter, or, if he is not the proprietor, with giving valua ble Information to the one who is. But even I the talent, who lose their money in one or the other of these places, are quite sure that, If It was not for this mysterious pull that the proprietor has had, the particular pool room which will be running to morrow could I be as successfully raided as was the one on aiiuj wueu. as uie ponce claim, a good case was made out against Alexander, who was held yesterday by Magistrate Furlong in $5.00 bail for his appearance on August 21.

Surprised if Roosevelt Calls One in September. RECIPROCITY CAN BE RATIFIED. Kepublican Dissatisfaction "With the Failure of Congress to Carry Out McKinley's Promises. Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth Street. Washington, August 9 It would not be surprising.

President. Roosevelt's friends here say, if he should call an extra session of Congress in September to pass a Cuban reciprocity law or an extra session of the Senate to ratify a Cuban reciprocity treaty. The condition of affairs in the island of Cuba and the relations which the new republic maintains with the United States under the Piatt amendment, are rapidly becoming such as to force the President to decide quickly whether he will sit by and see Cuba Eo to financial and commercial ruin, or whether he will make another effort to save her. There is strong opposition in administration circles to doing anything that will give the stamp of approval to the proposed Cuban hond issues ot $39,000,000. It is not believed that it would be an act of kindness to the Cubans in tho present and prospective condition of their revenues to permit them to saddle themselves with such a debt.

In many quarters it is believed that if the United States should countenance the Issu ance of these bonds the effect would be to hasten annexation, as it is believed that the Cubans would default in the'ir payments interest and that the United States would, in the end. have to annex the island and assume the debts. Unless the bonds are approved in some form by the United States the Cuban government will have great difficulty in negotiating them even at 90 per cent, of their face value, and this government will then, be in the position of having given the island a bad commercial rating and of having destroyed whatever credit she might have had if tho Piatt amendment had not put the United States in the position of acting as a financial guarantee. All of this will make it more than ever the duty of the government to put Cuba on a good commercial basis and enable, her to work out her own salvation. President Palma and his fellow officials in Cuba have relied on the statements made by President McKinley that they could depend on fair.

and even generous treatment by the United States. They accepted his statements, made to the delegation which was sent to Washington, as a promise pledging the United States to reciprocity and the President's promlses were' afsis 'looked upon by the people of the United States as promises which Congress was bound in honor to' carry out. It is not strange, therefore, that President Palma should have determined, in the event of the disapproval of the proposed bond issue by this country, to appeal to the President for an immediate reciprocity arrangement between the. United States and Cuba, and it will be very surprising if President Roosevelt does not. listen to the appeal, especially when he knows that if he calls a special session he will be supported by the conscience of the American people outside of the beet sugar interests and the tew Republican extremists, who do not want to see a reduction of the Dingley rates by reciprocity with Cuba, for fear that would be only the beginning of a general system of reciprocity arrangements which would carry out the policy laid down by President McKinley in" his Buffalo speech.

The President, it is pointed out, can afford I to make this fight with all the more assur ance, because he knows that not only would I the United States be fulfilling a moral obli gation, but that reciprocity would.be of fi nancial benefit to the entire country by admitting American products, and especially all agricultural products into Cuba at lower rates of duty, while the loss to the beet sugar growers would be problematical and, (. at the most, of very little importance. Politicians here are wondering whether the President will have the courage to bring on a fight with the "Boxer" Senators in his own party, with the beet sugar interests, and with the Protective Tariff League right on the eve of the congressional elections. Certain timid Republicans are in hopes that he will postpone action until after the elections. So are the managers of the Democratic congressional campaign, for the Democrats propose to make much out of the failure of the Republicans to keep their pledge with Cuba.

They would be disappointed if the President should call Congress or the Senate together and if the force of the awakened conscience of the people should force a reversal of Republican policy and. the putting into effect of some kind of a reciprocity arrangement. As. to tho outcome of a fight for justice to Cuba, if the President should undertake to make it, friends of reciprocity say there can be little doubt. When the fight was on in the last session the Senators and Representatives heard from the beet sugar men and their allies.

Since then they have been hearing from their constituents. Several of the Representatives have been turned down for renomination on this Cuban reciprocity issue alone, and the position which the President has taken has won for him resolutions of indorsement and pledges of renomination from state and congressional conventions all over the country. The extent of this Republican dissatisfaction with the failure of "Congress to carry out the promises solemnly given to the Cubans by President McKinley is really believed to be responsible for the withdrawal of Mr. Cornelius X. Bliss, the treasurer of the Republican National Committee, from the Protective Tariff League.

Since the organization of the league Mr. Bliss has been its moving spirit. He until recently, directed Its policy and he has done more than any other man to foot Its bills. That he should have withdrawn from this organization is no light thing. It is an indication 'that the predictions made by Senator Hanna, on the eve of the adjournment of Congress, that the Republicans would hear from the people as a result of their failure to fulfill the promises made to Cuba, is being fulfilled.

Cuba stands ready to give to the United States tariff concessions that would place the markets of the Island completely in the hands of 'American producers and manufacturers in return for a simple reduction of 25 per cent, in the duty on Cuban products ad; mltted into this country. In substance, the Cubans say: "Give us. a chance to live and we will buy from you to the exclusion of all the world." They ar.e willing to make reductions amounting to as much as 40 per cent, on articles Imported from the United States, and it they are granted concession's that will enable their Industries to live, they will 1m Low RateM Colorado, Utah.

BRILLIANT SCENES IN THE ABBEY "Unrestrained Jubilation and Noisy Night Scenes in London Marvelous Display of Jewels. London, August 9 Edward VII, R. by the grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Creat Britain and Ireland and of the British Dominions beyond the seas, King, defender of the faith, Emperor of India, was to day crowned without hitch or harm, and to night London is noisily celebrating the event, for which the world has waited as perhaps It never awaited any other, coronation. In all respect the celebration was impressive, and it was carried out with a perfection of detail and lack of accidents that hRs rarely characterized similar That pride of empire which marked Queen Victoria's jubilee was lacking, and in its stead there pervaded all classes a keen recollection that only six weeks ago their King lay in danger of death, and this to day produced thankfulness and genuine sympathy for the man rather than adulation of the King. This feeling was voiced "by the Archbishop ot Canterbury, when he inserted in one of the coronation prayers the words, "For whose I recovery we now give Tbee heartfelt thanks." Yet this did not prevent the public from Voicing appreciation of the military display i as the short procession gave to them a chance i see.

Ovations for Eoberts and Kitchener, i JBarl Roberts, Commander in Chief of the lorces, was once more the hero hour, nd next to the King himself received the JtiBartlest welcome of the assembled crowds. 'Here comes good old. Bobs," was invari? Rbly the signal for all the reserve power of lungs to be. brought into play. Lord Roberts rode alone and constantly bowed and smiled acknowledgments of his greeting.

Lord Kitchener was not so' easily recognized, but he was seen as he rode with General Sir Alfred Gaselee and Admiral Sir Edward Hpbart Seymour and was the crowd's next favorite. At various points along the route of. the procession Lord Kitchener received thunderous ovations, which he acknowledged neither by look nor bow, but as English crowds are used to this treatment from Lord Kitchener of Khartoum, it quite failed to suppress the enthusiasm. But it was for the King and Queen themselves that the people really let themselves loose. Throughout the day, wherever and the I whenever their majesties were seen, cheers were loud and long, and especially was this so on the return journey of the King and Queen to Buckingham Palace.

Nervous Apprehension of Some Untoward Event. Until the booming of the guns announced that the crowning of King Edward and Queen Alexandra had been achieved there lingered in thousands pf minds a nervous apprehension that even at the last moment some untoward event might once more plunge the nation into consternation. When this was passed the unrestrained jubilation was as much a tribute to the King's personal popularity as it was an evidence of relief from the tension of the last few weeks. So, while the scenes on the streets were robbed of many of those elements that usually accompany a great pageant, they will long he remembered, perhaps somewhat tenderly, by those who stood on the stands, at windows and on the sidewalks to see King Edward after he had won, almost from the jaws of death, crown. Archbishop's Feebleness Causes Apprehension.

In Westminster Abbey the scene was nothing less than marvelous. Nearly 7,000 members of the nobility, the clergy and the gentry had gathered, with foreign princes, ambassadors, colonial rulers. Indian potentates and leaders from the farthest quarter of tile globe where the Union Jack files, to do honor to the King. Two incidents in the service in the Abbey will live in the memogy of all who witnessed them. The first of these, which almost developed into a dramatic contretemps, centered around the aged Archbishop of Canterbury.

From tho commencement of the service the Archbishop had the greatest difficulty in reading or remembering the prayers. The book from which his almost blind eyes endeavored to read shook In his hands, and when he came to place the crown upon King Edward's head his huge frame, towering above the seated King, swayed so violently that the Bishop of Winchester had to support him, while the Dean of Westminster put a guarding hand under the crdwn. It was evident that the Arehbishop of Canterbury could not see his King's head, and after groping around he was just about to complete the most Important part of the, ceremony, when it was discovered that ho had the crown with the back to the front. Slowly he. raised It, but too late to prevent the choir from prematurely bursting forth with a loud' "God save the King." Amid a tension that had grown to a pitch of painful nervousness the Archbishop finally managed to place the crown correctly upon the King's head.

A few minutes later came the climax to his feebleness. He Antediluvian Rye. The aristocratic whiskey. Appreciated wherever quality Ib considered. Luytles Brothers, y.

AllT. uCjUsUfjJiH During the month of August the Store will close at .5 P. Saturdays at noon. A cool Store and a busy one. And the greatest news of price economies for tomorrow that any Store ever had to tell.

Summer goods at cost and less there are such chances ail over the Store. There are compensations for being in town in vacation weather, after all. One's money goes about twice as far in the right store. We started August with a storeful of wonderful values a week ago. And we are going to keep it up all month.

Don't miss the printed news and come as often as you can there's a great deal of the best we have that never gets into the newspapers at all. Men as well as women may share in the great values we have ready for to morrow. Men have come to look on this as their especial Store in Brooklyn we have put the men's things so that they are easy to get at without going through much of the Store. Don't miss the news for men in the pages that follow. Our representatives abroad write letters full of enthusiasm for the Fall season.

There have been stirring achievements in the world of dress, according to what they say. And they will be back shortly, bringing the most beautiful of the world' productions for earliest showing in Brooklyn. "I always come here for Books," said a woman in the Book Store yesterday. "I take an armful away with me to the country every season Books I have wanted to read, but somehow haven't had time to get at. I find it is a splendid time for Book bargains, too for a few cents I can get the best novels of the best authors in many cases." A big retail dry goods man from out of town happened into the Store last Monday.

"How under the sun do you do it," he marveled as he watched the crowds. "Ycu people don't seem to know that August ought to be a dull month in this business." We took him around the Store and showed him the bargains. Then he marveled not how we got the crowds to come, but how we got the bargains. Even greater values to morrow it won't do to miss the details. We study styles abroad; we deal with foreign makers in their own factories.

And because of these reasons and because Abraham and Straus has come to be an important factor in the yearly business of the most important European houses, styles are shown here earliest and prices are always smallest. Persian Lamb Jackets are to be the most fashionable furs again next Winter already there is indication that the supply will not be equal to the demand. The fifty lucky women who share tomorrow's chance to get the finest Persian Lamb Jackets for less than half their worth will count themselves fortunate indeed. It is not often that one can save 125.00 by spending $75.00. Some shrewd people they are getting more numerous every year take advantage of these great August sales to buy staple things for next season.

Cottons and white fabrics and staple silks are the things they choose especially. Prices are half or less so if they keep them a whole year they make a hundred per cent, on the investment. That's pretty good interest. Women like to go first where the biggest bargains are and do their more leisurely shopping afterward. There will be a hard time picking out the best bargain in to morrow's news any one of the offerings would be the day's special bargain in an ordinary store.
