' Ordinary’* Offlo* IHI VALDOSTA TIKES. Vi LONDON GATES OPEN WIDE TO WORLD NOBLES Ancient Capitol all Ready for the Coronation rjflWTALTY OF OTHER NATIONS JHnLL ATTEND AND THE HOLI DAY SPIRIT IS FELT ON EVERY SIDE. Coronation Activities Stir London. London, June 19.—All London Is now In curl papers, awaiting the gar geous spectacles ot tne coronation. , / ' : "he present aspect of the town is ' .ether topsy-turvy, but a day or two mbre of work on the decorations la expected to transform everything. At present the sight and smell of many miles of new timber flung against a normal gray background make the metropolis a strang place even to its own inhabitants. As rap idly as the huge grand stands are completed they are brightly draped und beflagged. Most ot the private decorations, especially the costly and elaborate set pieces, have been cov ered with waterproof cloth to protect them from rain, and until these cov erings are removed it is impossible to divest the town pf its curl paper appearance. ' Crowds Already Enormous. There lq no longer any douht as to the popnlar attitude toward the coronation festivities. The enorm ous and growing crowds and the ba bel of foreign tongues give unmista kable evidence of the public Interest Sr 'n the event. . Every day this week has'seen crowds traversing the route of the procession to view the decora tions. Aristocratic equipages ot the | wtalthy, the humble' market cart f of the coster and his family, breaks carrying tourists ot every national ity, are driven over the routes, while on the sidewalks are dense masses of slowly moving pedestrians. There are many provincial folk in town, and every arriving train Is adding to the crowds. In Trafalgar Square apd in some of the • thoroughfares fending from that point the conges- gestlon was so great today that the omnibuses found it almost impossible to proceed. American Visitors Not So Numerous. Visiting Americans are largely In' evidence at some of the leading ho tels, but the talk of ait unprecedent- • ed number of visitors from the other side of the water, Is all bosh. Londoners whose business con stantly brings them In contact with . the tourist classes one and all de clare that there are not so many Americans In England now as at this time a year ago. This statement Is borne out by the opinions of the steamship officials; who declare that Mple accommodations could found on any liner leaving New York, Boston or Philadelphia so far tide summer. The preliminary scare about the danger of overcrowding may have kept some ot the Amerl cans away. All the best hotels com- sl-ialn that their regular American guests did not come this year. The proprietors do not appreciate the of ficial and other guests ot all nation alities who have taken their places. Many Canadians on Hand. The statements regarding the ab sence of American visitors do not ap ply, however, to the Canadians, ft does not take a very observant eye to detect the fart that visitors from Canada are more numerous In Lon don today than ever before. Parti from Montreal, Toronto, Halifax, Ot tawa, and from Winnipeg, Vancouver and other cities of the West are to he fonnd registered at nearly every hotel. The Dominion premiers and parliamentarians, with the official guests from the other colonies, are being elaborately entertained. To day the parliamentary visitors, near ly all of whom are accompanied by their wives and families, became tbs guests of the nation and during the earning three weeks they will be en tertained as such. Tonight they dine at the Waldorf hotel and tomorrow evening they will be the guests ot the Royal Automobile Club at a sup per and reception.

BROWN TO MAKE El It is Said That he will Sug gest a Highway Commission Among Other Things Atlanta, June 19.—Two important recommendations will be made, It Is stated, in Governor Brown’s message to the legislature when it meets next Wednesday. One will urge tha^gUbllshment of a state highway <U- fcifsicm. The Other’Will point the necessity of ^an appropriation.. to adequately Insure the state capitol and the rec ords it contains from loss by Are. At present not a cent of insur ance is carried on the capitol proper, the only item being (40,000 for the library. Legislatures have failed .to Insure tbe capitol, It Is said, because It Is a so-called "fireproof" building, but many of the Interior rooms are wood-finished, and, for Instance. In the secretary of state's offices, the' records are not kept In vaults nnd a fire gutting this room would be dis astrous. i The highway commission idea has been endorsed by the Georgia Feder ation of Road Authorities, and by practically every local organization in the etate Interested in the good roads movement.

The police are taking the most elaborate precautions to prevent panic or other catastrophes on the days of the big parades. The pos sibility of fire in some of the mam moth grand stands along the route has been given the utmost consider ation. Almost everywhere are hand grenades galore, while fire extin guishers are freely distributed about. It is probable that the police will fol low tbe same plan adopted at the last coronation, of erecting strong barriers at the converging streets no as to prevent any enormous crush of people. The entire route of the pro cession will be lined with soldiers.
