SMALL ATTENDANCE "IN ST. GEORGE'S CATHEDRAL. The Music Was Excellent--Form of Service Same as Appointed by , the King--A Short Sermon by * the Dean. That beautiful edifice of St. Guor- ge's cathedral was not more than two-thirds filled this morning when the coronation service began. The day was most unsuitable for such a service, 'hence the slimness of the audience. It was not that the: people of Kingston are not imbued with a sense of the importance of the coron- arion' or because of their lack of pa- triotism, but rather because of pres- sure of personal matsprs that kept them from attending the service The only attempt at decoration within the cathedral was the draping of the pulpit with the Union lack. Rev. B. B. Smith, dean of Ontario, conducted the service, which was ac- cording to the ritual, approved of and issued by conimand of the kine for use throughout the British dom- inions. He was assisted hy Archdeacon Carey, Canon Grout and Rev. W. Le- win. Thé men of the ho pied the gallery, sot apart use. There were a number also in attendance, including Col. H. R.

The: band of th 17th Regiment occupied seats in the Bishop's chapel, and rendered music during the service. The congregation entered heartily into the service, which lasted a little over an hour. A feature of the service was the effective singing of the well-trained choir. The processional hymn was that . old-time favorite, "All People That on Earth Do Dwell," Then fol- lowed an anthem Del on Psalm oxxit--1.2, 3, 6, 7; verses: 1. was glad when they said unto me 'we will oo unto the house of the Lord." Our feet shall stand in Thy- gates, 0 Jerusalem. Jerusalem is built as a city that is at unity in itself. O pray for the peace of Jerusalem; they shall prosper that love "Thee. Peace he within' thy walls and plenteousness within Thy palaces." The' setting to these words was composed by Sir George Elvev.. The second anthem was founded on the following words found in 1 Kings, i-31 and following verses 1 "Zadok, the priest, and Na- than, the prophet, anointed Solomon king, and all the people rejoiced and said 'God save the King, Long Live the King. May the King Live Forever, Amen. Hallelujah.' The music for these patriotic lines was composed hy the immortai Handel. The hymns and chorals, were all appropriate tof} the occasion.

Advised Not to Antagonize Great Britain. London, Aug. 9.--The Times sels correspondent, commenting ona meeting between the kaiser and the czar, quotes the 'Independence Belge," which says: "Gerinan politicians de- ceive themselves grossly if they hope to drag Russia into an anti-English policy, merely to allow statesmen - at Berlin to realize their own projects. If ever there is an understanding made hetween the dual and triple alliances, it is to be hoped it will not be against England. The interest of Europe in the inevitable economic war with America is to obtain British co- operation or at least neutrality. It would be a cardinal mistake to run counter to Britain at the outset, and would not assist in. preventing an American triumph in the demain of production.' Brus- SIE CLAIMANTS FOR' AN ISLAND.

The chiei went over to meet-him and just he- hind the butter market the chief put out his strong right arm and caught him. The prisoner knew at once he was wanted and his left arm at once drop: ped to his hip pocket. The chief anti- cipated such a movement . and Le reached for the strangle hold, as thev say in a' wrestling match.

Seven fast and furious rounds were fought. In the third round the handsome chandelier was shattered. ~As the house was illumin- ated with electricity, this did not cause a cessation of hostilities. In the fourth the brawn and weight of Kalish began to tell, and Moss was only saved by the gong. He came 'to the scratch in the fifth. gamely, but was on- the defensive in thi" and the succeeding rpund. In the seventh Kalish---rushed the fighting, apd sent his light-built antagonist down and out with a blow over the héart. The victor 'was badly cut about the checks and mouth.
