Boston, Mass., 4th February — The Delegation to the Coronation

America will send to King Edward's coronation a delegation of men distinguished in war and peace; but it is easy to prophesy that the American who will attract and receive most attention is one who simply accompanies the delegation in no official capacity—Miss Alice Roosevelt. daughter of the President. The ollicial representatives of this country will be Whitelaw Reid, former Minister fo France. once candidate for Vice-President, and editor of the " New York Tribune"; Capt. Charles E. Clark, who, as commander of the Oregon, rushed that battleship from the Pacific to the Atlantic during the Spanish war and had_a most creditable share in the battle off Santiago; and Gen. James H. Wilson. a veteran of both Civil and Spanish wars, and for a time military governor of Porto Rice.
