Cathedrals— Kissed the Cross. Moscow, May 25.—At 3:30 o’clock, yesterday afternoon, in the armory in the Kremlin,took place the interesting ceremony of the consecration of the imperial standard. This standard will be a feature of the coronation on Tuesday, when the emperor will swear allegiance to the colors in the Cathe* dral of the Assumption. At one end of the room was a sort oi altar, on which was a golden vessel filled with consecrated water. In the entry was a golden cross, at either side of which were lighted candles. The standard, hanging from a staff, was held by a color bearer, who stood at the left of the altar. The bishops and priests of the Kremlin cathedrals, in gorgeous chasubles of gold cloth, attended by acolytes bearing censers, stood in front of the altar, while at the right was the imperial malfe choir from St. Petersburg, attired in black, with crimson cloaks. Behind the priests, at a little distance from them, were the emperor and all the members of the imperial family present at Moscow, with their respective suites and ladies of honor. A short religious service was held, composed of prayers and responses and an anthem by the choir. The standard was sprinkled with holy water and formally consecrated by the metropolitan of Moscow. At the end of the service, during the singing of the choir, ali of the members of the imperial family tiled before the altar and kissed the cross in the hands of the priest, who bore it, aftef which the standard was taken from this room to another apartment to be safely guarded until the coronation on Tuesdaj\ .

Large crowds of people continue to arrive daily, adding to the great multitude already here to witness the ceremonies attendi ng the coronation.

Grosveiior Contributes an “Extract" to the Hnniorg of the Campaign. Washington, Mat 24.—Gen. Grosrenor has made- public as a contribution to the humors of the campaign, part of a long letter written bv Mr. J. S. Clarkson, of Iowa, oh the ?7th of November. 1S'J3, a few days after McKinley had been elected the second time governor of Ohio by the majority of 81,000. Speaking of the condition of the country and the assurance of victory in '96. Gem Clarkson used the following language: “McKinley has won so great a personal victory, and is so much the embodied form of all our politics that he has won the nomination for 1806. If a .convention were to be held to-day he would be chosen unanimously. Whether he will staqa the test of three years is not so certain, but I am inclined to think he will. In heart and brain he is another Blaine. The field is working up with McCinley, Harrisau. Tom Reed and Bob Lincoln as the candidates. I think there is no doubt either of Har5 rison's desire or, expectation. The men who held office under him are nearly solid for him and are active on the theory that whoever is nominated is sure to be elected, but he's easily a million votes weaker than his own ! ticket.
