PUT HIS CROWN 0N HIMSELF
The Services In the Cathedral of the As-
sumption — Fine Weather and a
Multitude Present \Vho Could
I Not°See the Great Ceremony.
‘ Moscow, May 27.—-The coronation cere-
monies of the Emperor Nicholas Alexan-
drovltch and the Empress Alexandra Fec-
dorovna took place today in the Cathedral
of the Assumption, in accordance with all
the religious forms and ancient rites. The
Weather was fine, but of the vast multi-
tude present only about 1,000 persons actu-
ally witnessed the ceremony of the corona-
tion. The scene outside, however, was one
of indescribable enthusiasm.
Throughout the night and early morn-
ing myriads of people had flocked intothe
city, and at 7:30 o’clock, when the first
artillery salute of 21 guns echoed over the
city, all the streets in the vicinity of the
Kremlin were densely thronged. At the
same hour the balls in the Cathedral of the
Assumption began ringing. Half an hour
later, under the guidance of the arch grand
master of the ceiemonles, all the court
dignitaries and distinguished persons who
were to take part in the ceremonies began
to assemble in the halls of the palace, and
at 8 o’clock other court officials and digni-
taries assembled in the cathedral. The la-
dies wore the Russian court dress, and the
dignitaries were in full uniform.
The ambassadors. ministers and repre-
sentatives of the diplomatic corps assem-
bled at the palace of the Kremlin soon
after 8 o’clock and were invited by the
masters of the ceremonies to repair to the
cathedral and take the places reserved for
them.
Previous to this an immense body of
troops had been brought together around
the Kremlin and along the route followed
by the imperial party in passing from the
palace to the cathedral and from there to
the other cathedrals of the Kremlin.
Troops formed double lines on both sides.
In the interior of the palace were other
troops. Inside the Cathedral of the As‘
sumption four ofi‘icers of the regiment of
Chevalier guards were posted at the foot
of the steps leading to the throne, one at
each corner, holding drawn swords.
Dignltaries on Hand.
A “Te Denm” for the preservation of the
lives of the czar and czarina was cele-
brated in the cathedral at 8 o’clock in the
morning, and after prayers the clergy, in
full canonicalsk assembled in front of the
cathedral to receive the dowager Empress
Marie Feodorovna, mother of the czar,
who, with a numerous suit of court dig-
nitaries, repaired to the cathedral, accom-
panied by the members of the imperial .
family of the highest rank, with the ex-
ception of those who were to take part in
the emperor’s procession. - In front of the
Cathedral of the Assumption she was re-
ceived by the metropolitan of Moscow,
surrounded by the clergy, all in brilliant
vestmentS' sparkling with gold and pro
cious stones, who presented her with the
cross and holy water. . She received the
benediction of the clergy and was escorted
to her seat on the throne of the Czar Alexis
Mikhailovitch, which had been placed
therefor the occasion. ’ -~
The grand dukes and grand duchesses
and the guests then took the places set
apart for them. Membersof the military
households of the grand dukes and of the
foreign princes Were afterward escorted to
their places. .
The court dignitaries who had assembled
at the palace to be bearers of the imperial
insignia received the latter in the throne
'hall from the handsof the arch grand
’marshal and took the stations allotted to
them in the procession of the czar. Before
the procession started the grand almoner,
bearing a large golden cross studded with
jewels and assisted by two deacons carry-
ing a golden bowl full of holy water,
sprinkled the whole route which was to
be followed by the czar and czarina from
the palace to the Cathedral of the Assump-
tion. After the arch grand marshal had
announced to the czar that the Empress
Marie Feodorovno had gone to the cathe-
dral. the czar and the czarina entered the
throne hall and seated themselves on their
thrones, Which were surmounted by a
canopy. A moment or two later a signal
given by trumpeters from the exterior ter-
race adjoining the throne hall and repeated
by trumpeters on the upper platform of
the red staircase indicated that the mo-
ment had arrived for the departure of the
imperial procession, and the latter moved
toward the cathedral.
After the arch grand marshal came the
czar, at his side his two assistants for the
ceremonies,,and followed by the minister
of the imperial household. the minister of
war, the _aid-de-camp general command-
ing the military household and other mil-
itary oificers. The czarina, with two as-
sistants for the ceremonies, followed.
.F’rom the last step of the red staircase
to the entrance of the cathedral 16 aids-
decamp general bore the imperial canopy
under which walked the czar and-czarlna.
and the golden cords of this canopy were
held by 16 other aids-de-camp general,
chosen from among the seniors in rank.
Following the imperial couple came ladies
of honor, aids-de-camp general, repre-
sentatives of the hereditary nobility of the
empire and detachments of various bodies
of troops. ,
ZMore Pomp and Pageantry.
At the moment the imperial procession
appeared, on leaving the palace, the bells
in all the churches of Moscow were mug.
and the troops, in parade order, presented
arms. On the approach of the imperial in-
signia all the clergy, in full canonicals,
massed themselves in front of the cathe~
dral. , The metropolitan of Kiev incensed
the insignia, and themetropolitan of Mos-
cow sprinkled them with holy Water. As
soon as the czar and czarlna approached
the entrance of the cathedral the metro-
politan of Moscow pronounced the usual
allocution, the metropolitan of St. Peters.
burg presented the cross and the metro-
politan of Kiev presented them with holy
water.
On entering the cathedral the imperial
couple took their seats on the thrones of
the Czars Michael F eodorovitch and John
III. The archbishops, archimandrites and
the officiating clergy placed themselves in
two. ranks between the estrado of the
throne and the holy door, and the choirs
chanted a psalm. ‘The imperial insignia
were deposited on a table, and the various
. dignitaries took up the positions allotted
them.
The ceremony of the coronation and
anointmont was then begun. The motro-
politan of St. Petersburg mounted the
'steps of the throne, placed himself in
front of the czar and invited the 0231‘ to
make before his faithful subjects his pro
fession' of Orthodox faith and presented

czar recited the symbol of faith. After
this the metropolitan of St. ,Petersburg
pronounced a ritual, and after the reading
of the holy gospels the metropolitans of
St. Petersburg and of Kiev mounted the
steps to the throne. The czar then took off
the collar of the Order of St. Andrew,
and, having placed it in the hands of one
of his assistants, ordered that the imperial
mantle with the cellar in diamonds of
that order be presented to him. The metro-
politans assisted him in robing. The czar
than bowed his head and received the pon-
tlfical benediction of the metropolitan of
St. Petersburg. '
Every Man His Own Crowner.
The prayers terminated, and the czar 1
gave the order that the crown be presented
to him. The metropolitan of St. Petsrsburg
handed it to the czar, who placed it on his
own head. The metropolitan then pro-
nounced the prescribed allocution. In a
similar way the czar caused to be present.
ed to him the scepter and the globe, and
then be seated himself upon the throne.
The monarch then called upon the
Czarlna Alexandra Feodorovna to ap‘
proach, and she knelt before him on a
velvet cushion embroidered with gold,
which had previously been placed at the
foot of the throne.
The czar then lifted thecrown from his
own head and touched with ‘it the fore-
head of the empress and replaced the
crown upon his own head. He then took
the crown of the czarlna and placed it on
the head of the czarina, her four ladies of
honor fixing it upon her head. Her im-
perial mantle and the collar of the Order
of St. Andrew wore next presented with
the same ceremony to the czar, and he in-
vested the czarina with them.
