October .31.—King George is particularly anxious that his cor onation ceremonies next June should WILD RIOTING IN NEW YORK Seven Thousand Policemen on Duty and Over one Hun dred Hurt in Fight. New York, Oct. 31—Wild rioting throughout the city followed a des perate effort of the Express Com be free from any untoward Incl-iPW t0 dellver many tllouian<1 dol ‘ dent which might be construed us j lara worth ot P ortohable B °° ds t0 ' omiuous. This is not alone because I da ^' he h ms.ir, like all members of Us' house, is Imbued with a certain FUNERAL OF H. CJRIGGS A Large Concourse of Sor rowing Friends and Relatives Were in Attendance' (From Saturday’s Dally.) . The funeral of Mr. Henry OOSLEY SURE WAS ROBDED amount ot superstition, but Is like wise because he Is thoroughly aware that popular confidence In himself and his reign will be shaken In the event of any occurrence at the cor onet on which could be construed as portending evil.. The coronations of Queen Victoria and King Edward were remarkably free from anything that could bo loo.t ed upon by the peoj le as a bad omen, though the fact that the cor onation of King Edward had to be postponed In account of the Illness with wMch the conarch was sudden ly stricken led many persons to pre dict that his reign would bo short. At the coronation of George IV. the Marquis of Anglcsoy, officiating as lord high steward, while carry ing the crown to the altar let it slip from his hands. When George III. was Installed on the throno, Lord Effingham, master of ceremonies, forgot to provide the sword of state and the chair and canopy for the banquet. At the coroujtlop' Geoue II. the Dean ^erjlrofot the. challco' S3& -pi to tit, ■L. tho c ronatlon of tho tll-fat- Ig^Hrng Jame3 I. tho communion |PPco was omitted. E At the coronation ot Charles I. the wlilg of the dove on Edward the Confessor’s scepter was broken otr accidentally. And the Bishop Carlisle, n preaching the corona tion sermon, selected as his text, "I will give thee a crown of life,’’ a text which put everybody In mind of the funeral service. In which it so frequently figures. It may bo re membered that King Charles lost his head on the scaffold. It Is also woll to remember, in reading of these gloomy prophecies of doom, that such Incidents are sel dom thought of until an outward Incident has occurred. Then the superstitious mlnd_ seeks some oc currence to serve the purpose of an omen, a tnlng not hard to find, since almost every occasion Is attended by some unfortunate accident. Seen thousand policemen are on duty and tne authorities estimate | crowd of sorrowing that more than one hundred people were Injured more or less seriously. The most serious trouble occurred at Fortieth street and Third avenue where strike sympathisers attacked a wagon load of strike breakers and numerous shots were fired. Thirteen hundred more delivery boys joined the strike today. May Call a General Strike With the express business com pletely tied up In Hew York, Jersey City, and Hoboken the loss to va rious companies .is estimated at a half a million dollars and is lncreas Ing rapidly.
