About Westminster abbey the streets are massed from curb to curb by peo- ple. many of them white-faced in their anxiety. Considerable hard feeling is mani- fosted against owners of septs for the procession, who sold out their last seats this morning before the news became known, The buyers are disgusted as they have tried in vain to get their money back. The sad news was announced in Westminster abbey to the 400 mem bers of the coronation choir, as they were about to rehearse for the ser vice of Thursday. The bishop of Lon- don, after making the announcement, dismissed the chair. No date for the earrving out of the ceremonies has been indicated.
