NUMBER 206.
M BEEN SUIM IMMENSE.
SOME INTERESTING FACTS BROUGHT OUT
IN AN OFFICIAL REPORT.
Washington, D. C., June 21.—The exports'of meat
and meat products from the United States during the
eleven months ending with May, aggregated more
than $180,000,000 in value, according to a report from
the Department of Commerce and Labor.

Special to The Herald.
Savannah, Ga., 'June 21.—Tonight
the victors are preparing to crow over
the vanquished. The People’s Demo
cratic League Is preparing this even
ing to have a torchlight procession in
honor of their recent victory at the
polls.
There are to be carriages and floats
In the procession and there will also
probably be a supply of banners and
any number of torches. An effort will
be made to get the ladies to enter the
parade In carriages, but this plan had
not been entirely successful this af
ternoon. After the parade there will
be speeches by some of the orators of
the opposition to the Citizens’ Club.
It Is expected that the policy of the
league for the mayoralty campaign
will be outlined in these speeches.
DANISH SCHOONER
GOES TO BOTTOM.
: DpvAr, England, June. 21.—The Dan
ish fischooner Bertha was sunk near
South Goodwin Lightship today In a
collision with the Dutch tank steamer
American. Elgjit of 'the schooner's

LYNCHING THREATS
AT NORFOLK, VA.
Negro Convicted of Assaulting Women
Hustled Off to 'Baltimore/^ ^
Baltimore, Mil., June 21. —William
Lee, a negro convicted of assaulting
several women,,was brought here to-
, day from Norfolk, Va. Threats of
i lynching were made.
SPIRIT OF MUTINY
IN RUSSIAN ARMY.
MORALE OF THE ENTIRE ARMY SHAKEN BY
CONTINUOUS OUTBREAKS.
St. Petersburg, June 21. — Serious mutiny, which
threatened to place the fortress of Sevastopol in the
hands of mutineers, was suppressed yesterday. The
mutiny was started by a battalion of artillery, who re
fused to obey orders. The men were promptly dis
armed. Two other battalions then mutinied and took
possession of the guns of the north short batteries. On
the appearance of several loyal regiments of infantry,
the mutineers returned to their barracks.
Entire Army Shaky.
That the morale of the entire army is shaken by
the revolutionary propagaganda is proven by continual
rebellious outbreaks among the troops. It appears to
be confirmed that the Botschoff regiment at Ryazan
has driven out the officers and burned the armory.
Another report says that the soldiers cleliberately at
tacked the officers’ club, killing one and wounding two
officers. Panic prevails in the town. Four companies of
the Viberg regiment at Sevastopol presented demands,
which were granted.
The tenderness with which the military authorities
treat the recurring exhibitions of a mutinous spirit
among the troops is sufficient evidence that they fear
that the entire army is infected.

Trondhjem. Juno 21.—King Haakon
received the special American em
bassy to the coronation this morning.
In anticipation of the crowning of
King Haakon and his consort tomor
row, Norway's ancient capital pre
sents an appearance of animation
which 1b in striking contrast to the
quiet that usually pervades the place.
That the inhabitants are all agog In
anticipation of the great event Is not
at all surprising when It Is remem
bered that more than thirty years
have elapsed since the placidity of the
old town has been disturbed by a cor
onation, while the pages of history
must be turned back to a date many
times more remote to find when the
last of Norway's own kings was
crowned.
Since their arrival here, King Haa
kon and Queen Maud have remained
in more or less seclusion at Stlfts-
gaarden. The most of their time lias
.been spent in consultation with the
court officials and others regarding
the final arrangements for the coron
ation. When their Majesties have ap
peared on the Btreets they have min
gled freely with the townspeople, and
as a consequence nothing but words
of praise are to be heard on all sideB
for the new king and queen and for
the charming little Prince Olnf.
Their Majesties havo exchanged
visits with the town officials and have
also received the foreign princes and
ambassadors, all of whom are now
here for he coronation. In addition
to the official deputations represent
ing the countries of the world, and
which in themselveB malte,up a goodly
number of persons, the city has filled
with many visitors who have come
merely to get a glimpse of tho coron
ation ceremonies. Included among
the arrivals are many American,‘tour-
Ists. The authorities are’tnktng the
greatest precautions to guard against
any anarchistic outrage, which the
“red International" might he tempted
to perpetrate on account of the many
royallties now gathered here. In this
work the local authorities have (hd as
sistance of secret police who, b#vb
been sent here by Oermany, England,
Denmark and other countries.
The streets are decked Out In gala
attire for the coronation procession/
while the final touch In the work Of
operation has been finished at tho ca
thedral, where tHO coronation cftrO-
monies will befiln' at 11 o’clock tomor
row morning. The' ceremony at the
cathedral will be followed by a state
dinner, whioh will be attended by
three hundred guests.
