^-~».-^^.,- 3: DINNER TO LONDO N POOR Over Half a Million Partake of a Great Feast. A London despatch says: All the puMio Jubilutioii wiiich was expect- ed to atteiiU lh<! coroiuition, with a (ffonuinu spirit of lliaukfulnes.s add- «d, was concentrated on Satiiixiay in tlic fostivilies connected with the King's dinner to liie poor tif Lon- don. Fully a uiillioH pcrsins eith- er parlool; of the Uoyal hospitality, or vvitjifshxtd this, the greatest feast *ver provided by a single man. Great crow<ls rejoicod at the aiinotinceiuents that London iuo»t of all longed to liear, iianiel.v, tliut the King had paased Hafely thd great danger which for three weeks had tiireatonod his life. Joy and thankfulness never found more en- thusia-tlic expression thaJi London's hiuuhletil citizens put into their checr.s, and there was a note in their' constant singing of "C!od Save the Kiag" that sonieliow was a little dilTei>e«it from any ever heard before. Kvery great hall, aud .'several of the moat beautiful of the smaller psirks of London were utilized for tiliis monster feast, tickets for which had been distj-ibute.d for a month pest by centi-al and local commit- tees of church and charitable so- cieties, otc. It was attcukpted to fix the scale of eligibility on the bcifiis of thoBO families whose com- bined income was $6 per week; mar- riwl couples with one child who.sc in- come was $.') per week, and families of two, whose income was S'l-'JO, and single persons whose wages amount- ed to $3 per week. The arrange- ments broke down to .â- romc extent la certain districts, and nuiny per- »OMS who were eligible did not BTiccoed in partaking of the feast. But, on ilio whole, the selections were well made. It goes without saying that every one invited ac- cepted, and for the most of them it was tlio time of their lives. IN DISHOP'S I'AIUC. The largest gathering of all was in nishop's Park, FuUiam, whore 14,- 000 persons siat down in thirteen largo tents which sheltered them from the hot rays of thu sun. Throe or four of these .sladters were nuirk- ed "toiupcrance l;?ni.S;," and tlieso- were occupied chiefly by women and children. It was a really respectable-appear- ing gathering. There were many Ca.^'OH of attempts at neatness and personal adornment, which were al- nwiHl pitiful. I'overt.v, where it was upparent. showed more in the faces of the iicople than in their attire, and the joy of the occasion went (ar lo (ii.'-«:Mi.se even that. The I'rince and Princess of Wales arrived just at the hour that it had been announced the foast would be- gin, and it is the simple truth to say thiit every one at the tables sliow- (vl nri-a(er interest in seeing and cheering the lloyal visilois than in the groat supply of edibles heaped bi'forc them. They sang and shout- ed Mild cheered lilie mad for the few iiiiniites that the members of the Uoyal faaiiily remained. Then they fell to in perfect do- conini utilil the beef, potatoes, plum jiiidfling. ale, beer, and lime juice hiid been coiisunicd. They admired tie iving's gift of souvenir earthen- waro cups, which were Inscribed :â€" "Tho King's Coronation Dinner. Presented by His Majesty, .July, 1902." .^ , , Tho people reached a high pitch of enthusiasm, oddly enough, when tho cheese arrived. This seemed a spe- cial luxury to most of them. "Here, niissie, hero missie," they sliouted to the young ladies who acted as waitr- ors, and scrambled for extra pieces. This was as nothing, howover, to tho excitement when tlio boxes of chocolate came. The consignment was a little late in arriving. Tie Waggons drove up laden with flat tin box^s. Instantly there was a gicat rush from all parts of the ground. Tho waiters and police wore helpless, and good nati.redly pitched boxes by the hundreds into the clanioiing throng. The scramble was not se- riously vio.ont, and v^as taken in good part by all. Then tho pcrspjr- ing throng gorged theniselvcs, hut appeared to be supremely happy. They trooped oft to another sec- tion of the park where hcores of entertainers Iron, tho mu.sic halls and theatres amused them, and ro- maiuL'd there for hour.s during the warm afternoon. THE KING'S MESSAGE. King Edward sent a message to Lord Mayor IJimsdalo cxi ressing re- gret at his inability to Ciirry out his original intention of visiting tho people who wero his guests, lie said he had deputed members of tho roya' family to represent him at as many dinners as possible, and expressed the h .pe that tho guests would en- joy thcniselvos. Their visiting duties kept the royal family busy. The Duko and Duchess of Fife looked in at the ^reat hall of the Law Courts, whoio SOO per- sons wero being fed. 'I'lioiice Ihey went to I'loral Itall, Covent Carden. The Duchosa of Argyll visited Olym- pia and other centres in Paddiiigton. The Duchess of Albany went through the southeast district, and Princess Christian the factory section of North London, where 10,000 persons wero fed under one roof. Sir Thomas iapton, who hnd ohargo of the coniiiiittco, received this message from the King, dated at IhickinRham Palace, when the gayoty was at its height : â€" "How is the dinin'r at Fiilliam getting along ?" His repl.v was .simiil.v : "Glorious." and that rightly describes this Rreat fwist all over London. There were distributed altogether 3.50,000 pounds of cooked meat, 2."j(),0()0 pounds of iiotatoes. the same numlier of loave.s of broad, 1,- 000,000 ounces of choose, 12^) tons of pudding, .'IG.OOO gallons of hcor. loO.OOO pints of ginger boor, and 75,000 pints of linii! jiiico. Tho usual iiienii was cold beef and nuiltoii. fruit, tarts, and pudiling. Tn soino districts pickles wero added to the bill-of-fare. The King's heallb was drunk heartily from the souvenir earthenware cups. The entertainers iiuludcd over.v cliusi), from Suzanne Adams to Pan Leiu). Wme. Nordica and Minnie Palnier entertained tho diners at Marlobonc. SALISBURY TO RESIGN. 'Ximc3 Says He Will Remain Until J. tier the Coronation. A London despatch h-ays; King l'>lward I'liday signed the e'~|'oint- mciit of Lord Salisbury's luinciiml private secretary, .Schomlicrg Mc- Donnell, to succeed I»rd Fsher, who retires from the 8ecretiir.v»hip of His lliijesty's olllce of works, '"ho Times in an editorial article says it thinks it doubtful if Lord Salisbury will try to lind a now secretary, and that thi' appointment of Mr. IWcDonnell Cannot fail to revive tho rumors of the Premier's resignation after tho coi ouation.

HOMAGE OF INDIAN CHIEFS Most Gorgeous Scene Ever Wit- nessed in London. A London despatch saya :â€" A scene more brilliant than anything over olTored Imperial guests, and more (jorgeous than anything ever before attempted in London, was presented at the India Office, Whitehall, on Friday night, when the Prince of Wales, in the name of the King and Emperor of India, received the hom- age of the ruling chiefs of India. Tho entire inner quadrangle of the great building had been transformed. Its rough pavement was covereo with a wooden Ilooring, that was carpeted in crimson. Overhead was .stretched a magnificent star-spangl- oij »heoi of silk. Around tho four sides the stone ledges were hidden under banks of flowers and waving palms. At one end was the royal dais, with a crimson canopy, .sur- mounted by crown.s at each of ilf foui- corners. The arrangement o( the stars on the silken sky was as- tronomically correct, they being placed OS they appear in the Eastern heavens. By a cunning arrangement of lights this artificial firmament resembled the soft, pale sky of an Indian night. The entire quadrangle, u.sually dull grey stone, seemed tc be a glittering marblo palace. Look- ing from tho floor upwiird the higher portion of the architecturo became indistinct in a luminous haze. Tha niagjuilioent court apiieared to b« out of all proportion to its actual size, which was due to clever mani- pulation of tho lights. The Prince of Wales was dressed in tho uniform of an admiral. Th« Princess of Wales was in white, a.nC wore a pearl collar and cliamoud tiara. They arrived at elevoi o'clock. The Duke of Connaughl w.os attired in the uniform of a Held marshal. He accompanied thi Priiico of Wales. Tho latter received the native chiefs, .-hakiug hands with some, and touching the swords ol olhers, meaning that the King ac- cofited the use of the sword thui olTored. The as.soniblage intermingling pre- sented a most striking spectacle. Th« Ka.st Indians appeared in gorgeoui colors and studdecl with jev.els. mov- ed among the most brilliant of Fng- lish women, aud uniformed otTicera The Maharajah of (iwalior woi-e « turban encrusted with jewels one bracelets of diamonds.
