High Chancellor. giii k, London, May 9,���The spirit of jritish fair play towards the King |)out to ascend the throne has brought ilout a truce between the political ilders of all parties. The House of jiJlds issue has been shelved for a year. ing George was proclaimed King this | orning when he rode with heralds, Jteuivants and knights of the Garter, ji;��Sbrled by Lifeguards, all in a gorgeous panoply, to Temple Bar, where they ���jart received by the Lord Mayor in IsSrobes of office. I The proclomation was read by the Ktjfrd Mayor. A herald reads the pro- (���amation at Temple Bar and rising his saddle challenges an opponent of ,^ng George to declare himself. It a custom of a thousand years which .s been faithfully carried out. The Funeral. King George is anxious not to spoil hit Monday, a holiday of the lower passes, and wants the funeral to take ���||ace on Saturday instead of the follow- i|ig Tuesday, but the date is still un- [rtain. |1| The burial will be at Frogmore, where ince Albert and Queen Victoria are fflterred. jljB The coronation will probably take |j''lace six months hence. The World's Peace. Kaiser William of Germany says he id his late uncle, King Edward, ��� mpe to a perfect understanding ���lis life to maintain the peace of the afld. King George has made a declara- to follow in his father's footsteps. It produced a strong impression in his favour and the British are already optimistic that the reins are in another firm hand. King George is thoroughly English, much more so than his father, which fact is thoroughly appreciated by his subjects. The Funeral Arrangements. The body of the late king was Viewed by the old servants on Saturday, and is probably closed from mortal eyes by this time. There will be no lying in state. King George and his court have moved to Windsor. It will be awkward if ex-president Roosevelt turns up for the funeral. As a private citizen he cannot appear in the procession amoung royalties, and as an |ex-president he cannot be relegated to the tail end. In the event of his coming he will probably not appear in the procession, but go straight to a seat in the building. Most of the crown heads of Europe are likely to attend the obsequies. Queen Sends Thanks. Vancouver, May 9,���Knollys cables Queen Alexandra's thanks for the condolences from the Presbyterian Synod of British Columbia, now in session here. The Mayor and Japanese consul have sent messages of sympathy per the Dominion authorities. The criminal assize court adjourned here in the middle of a murder trial. The jury was discharged. A public memorial service day has been declared by Mayor Taylor. It will be held in Recreation park on the day of the funeral. SPECIAL PRAYERS SAID fall the Churches for the Royal Family. IP pecial reference was made in all Xl churches yesterday to the death iKing Edward VII, and special Jti: lyers were said for the Royal Family t;.: 1 the British Empire in its hour .affliction. The pulpits were all ped with purple and black and the ���fcn Jack. A special memorial ser- ��� will be held by the three protestant Itches on the day of the funeral (Die Empress Theatre. I�� the First Presbyterian church, ���a Mr. Ross made the following ifence to our late King, during the ning service:��� Preaching from the t', "But they that wait upon the |j;:d shall renew their strength: they pll mount up with wings as eagles:" j. Ross, in conclusion, said: To-day j only does the Royal Family grieve ! loss of one near and dear by t'he jj of nature, but every true citizen . ie British Empire mourns the death leir loved and esteemed King. |:: >t only does the Royal Family the British Empire mourn his in death, but the whole world ns the removal of an unequalled mat, and universal peace maker. is true that the late King never the place in the hearts of his people that his good old mother Queen Victoria did. Different reasons could be given, reasons which need not be remembered or mentioned now. Again, while this be true, he succeeded during the few short years of his reign in winning the admiration of the world in a way in which no monarch for centuries back has been able to secure. It may be difficult to understand why such removal should be made at this critical period in the history of British affairs; why such an all round diplomat, such a universal peacemaker should be taken away at such a critical period in the history of the world, at a time when so much nervousness and unrest prevails among the nations Whatever may be our misgivings, whatever may be the mistakes of earthly kings, we may safely take for granted that the great over Ruler, the King of Kings, makes no mistakes. Like all others of rank and position, the late King Edward VII was criticized, and oft times even slandered. Whatever may be said about him as a Prince, the general opinion is that nothing but good could be justly said of him as a king and ruler. As servant and ruler of the Empire he was never above stooping to assist the poorest, the humblest and lowliest of his subjects. If, as the Master himself said, "Inasmuch as ye have done unto one of the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto me." If that be true, then, he who waited ; upon his people must have at the same i time waited upon the Lord, and if such , reasoning holds good may we hope and I believe that he was often among those who waited upon his God. And may we not be mistaken in our hopes when we believe in the closing scenes of life he was.not only borne on eagle's wings, | but clear, when he said "I think I have.done my duty." And since the Lord of all the earth makes no mistakes, may this dispensation of his providence so affect the internal condition of the Empire and the general weal of the world that we, as British subjects, and representatives of the outside world as our sympathizing brethren may be able to say "Not my will but Thine be done: the Lord hath given, the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord." Rev. Father Bunoz. Very Rev. E. M. Bunoz, O. M. J., in the Catholic Church on Sunday morning during his sermon said among other things, "We are lamenting the death of our king. The king, for us, is the embodiment of the temporal power of that special system of government which rules over the destinies of that Empire of which Canada is a part. Our loyalty is all the more firm because it rests, not in blood or sentiment, but on principle, on conscience and faith. We p.iy obedience and respect to the king, for such is the command of God and when a king is fair to all, and endeavours to give a just government to all his subjects, we add to our loyalty in this regard, feelings of gratitude and love. King Edward, whose death we are lamenting, was one of those. We must, therefore, unite with the wave of sympathy in mourning that sovereign of the British Empire and applaud to the high tributes and praises that are paid to his dear memory." Rev. C F. Connor. The British nation has, this week, been called upon to pass through an experience which has both startled and stunned it. Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, ascended the throne left vacant by the death of his mother the late, much j beloved, Queen Victoria, in 1901, as , Edward VII. At that time unpleasant ! rumors were circulated about his manner ! of life and the nation feared, in silence, | Their fears have not been realized. During the nine short years of his reign the Empire has been at peace, and blessed with prosperity. Diplomatic relations were never better, and : the late king was familiarly called Edward the Peacemaker. Now, at the very important crisis between the Lords and Commons, God has seen fit to remove him from the j scene of action. Upon a younger man falls the responsibility, and the nation i hesitates. What will the years bring ! forth? It seems as if the voice of God speaks as of old, "Speak unto the people that they go forward." With no lack of feeling or respect do we use these words. We pauSe by the open grave, I as it were, to pay our last respects j and offer a tribute to the late King who tried to do his best. But the de- mands of the day make it imperative I that we again fall into line and move ! forward. By those far removed from the scene of action, the loss may not be felt so keenly.From the thoughtless may even come words of disrespect; but, whatever may have been the errors of his younger days we know this -he tried, and to judge by results, he succeeded. The parts of the Empire are to-day, bound by closer ties than ever. The Imperial feeling is stronger and more deeply implanted in the I hearts of the people. And what more I than thisspeaks more strongly the assur- i anceof peace to the world!. An eloquent tribute to the place he I occupied in the hearts of the people ! is given in the fact that he alone of the sovereigns of the wcrld, could travel abroad in safety without an armed escort. The uncertainty of the hour may bring to many privation and suffering; but years ago the present crisis would have plunged the nation into civil war. How devoutly we ought to thank God for the changed conditions '.. The easy passing of the present crisis may largely account for the more remote parts of the Empire being less deeply affected; this, however, is a greater reason for a truer expression of grief. And tonight the Methodist church in Prince Rupert unites with her sister churches in rendering this reward of tribute to the great and beloved. At St. Andrew's Hall Owing to the absence of Bishop Du Vernet, who was in Metlakatla, the expected report of the pulpit comments in St. Andrew's Hall cannot be given to-day. THE ROCKS LAID BARE This Is the Season for Low Tides��� Foreshores and Rocks That See the Air for the First Time in Seven Years. OFFICIAL PROCLAMATION. George V. Proclaimed King This Morning. London, May 9,--George V was proclaimed king at nine this morning. Seven thousand troops lined the route. Funeral May 20. London, May 9,���The., funeral of King Edward has been fixed for Friday, May 20. Lord Carrington, who was mention- I ed as the possible Governor General 1 of Canada, has been appointed Lord High Chamberlain. DEVELOPMENT WORK. This is a year of extreme low tides. | And the particular season when old Nep- I tune will reveal some seldom seen j stretches of his habitat is pretty nearly due.. Last year was one of the freak tides, but this summer there will be a laying bare of mud flats and foreshore such as there will not be seen again to quite such a marked degree for another seven years. For tides on this coast run in cycles of seven years -and even at that no two years are quite the same. Commencing to-day and continuing for several days alter that there will be some low tides that will show many a bare spot seldom uncovered. These will not be the lowest tides of the year, however. They will go about six inches below extreme low springs���and that is pretty low. But the real low ones will start about Monday, June 6, and for about a week after that there will be occasions when as much as approximately two feet below extreme low springs will be laid bare. Early in August again there will be more receding of the waters that cover the face of the earth in this particular corner of the globe. They will not go quite as low as in June, but on a couple of days they will go several inches below the level of low springs. Along in September, and also late in October there will be a few more six-inch tides which will cause practically no current on those occasions. But otherwise the tides will behave themselves fairly regular for the balance of the year. This morning between 7 and 8 the tide was almost zero. To-morrow it will he lower. Coal Mine Owners Went Up Morris River to Develop Coal Mines. Messrs. F. M. Dockrell of Vancouver, T. E. & Mrs. Jefferson of New York, H. L. Hawkins of Seattle, C. D. Sellers of Black Diamond, Wash., and Howard Sanford of Los Angelos, arrived on the Royal Saturday night and registered at the Inn. They left this morning on the Omineca to go up the Skeena to Morris River, where they have coal fields. They are taking up two diamond drills and a full outfit of supplies, as they will remain all season. They have completed the prospecting programme and this season will do a lot of development work. They have a very high grade of bituminus coal, which looks good to them, and so far as they have been able to ascertain thus far, exists in large quantities. Before they leave the mines they intend to know the full extent of the coal. Murder Story Wrong. As a result of a report of a murder in Lockport some weeks ago, Chief Wynn sent constable Prescott of Jedway over to investigate. The chief received a report this morning to the effect that there was nothing in the story. The captain of the fishing trawler Kingsway heard it from Special Constable Beech. The Ellis Lumber Co. Mr. E. W. Chandler of Vancouver, arrived on the Princess Royal and left to-day on the Port Simpson for the Ellis Lumber Co's camps at Kitselas and vicinity. It is rumored that Mr. Chandler has purchased Mr Ellis' interests in the lumber company and will conduct the business himself. The Ellis Lumber Co., is one of the largest concerts of the kind in Northern British Columbia, and the transfer means a big thing for Mr. Chandler. When Mr. Chandler was s��en by the Optimist this morning he would neither deny or confirm the report, lie simply remarked that he never yet gave an interview to a newspaper, not that he had anything against them, but he did not think the public would be interested in his affairs. Nevertheless, Mr. Chandler is taking four or five horses, and a lot of other necessary material for a lumber camp up on the Port Simpson with him. Artificial Ice. The Princess May will make a special trip from Vancouver to Stewart, leaving the south on May 25, calling here on the 27th, and proceed to Steewart, where she will lay up for two days and then return. The steamer Henriette brought over the first lot of fresh fish and of artificial ice from the Pacific Coast Fishing Co., of Queen Charlotte Islands. The consignment was for the Prince Rupert Fish market. The products of the Pacific Fish Company will be a great boon for Prince Rupert, and the ice plant will assure the local people of plenty of frozen water for cooking purposes. The Cetriana called in here Sunday on her way south and took a number of passengers with her. THE PRINCE RUPERT OPTIMIST Steamer Bulletin.

SPECIAL PRAYERS SAID all the Churches for the Royal Family. * r ecial reference was made in all churches yesterday to the death iKing Edward VII, and special lyers were said for the Royal Family 1 the British Empire in its hour affliction. The pulpits were all t|)ed with purple and black and the n Jack. A special memorial ser- will be held by the three protestant ches on the day of the funeral e Empress Theatre. the First Presbyterian church, I Mr. Ross made the following *ence to our late King, luring the ���ing service:��� Preaching from the t, "But they that wait upon the d shall renew their strength: they II mount up with wings as eagles:" Ross, in conclusion, said: To-day only does the Royal Family grieve loss of one near and dear by t'he of nature, but every true citizen ie British Empire mourns the death eir loved and esteemed King. t only does the Royal Family the British Empire mourn his n death, but the whole world ns the removal of an unequalled mat, and universal peace maker. is true that the late King never the place in the hearts of his people that his good old mother Queen Victoria did. Different reasons could be given, reasons which need not be remembered or mentioned now. Again, while this be true, he succeeded during the few short years of his reign in winning the admiration of the world in a way in which no monarch for centuries back has been able to secure. It may be difficult to understand why such removal should be made at this critical period in the history of British affairs; why such an all round diplomat, such a universal peacemaker should be taken away at such a critical period in the history of Ihe world, at a time when so much nervousness and unrest prevails among the nations Whatever may be our misgivings, whatever may be the mistakes of earthly kings, we may safely take for granted that the great over Ruler, the King of Kings, makes no mistakes. Like all others of rank and position, the late King Edward VII was criticized, and oft times even slandered. Whatever may be said about him as a Prince, the general opinion is that nothing but good could be justly said of him as a king and ruler. As servant and ruler of the Empire he was never above stooping to assist the poorest, the humblest and lowliest of his subjects. If, as the Master himself said, "Inasmuch as ye have done unto one of the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto me." If that be true, then, he who waited j upon his people must have at the same ; time waited upon the Lord, and if such ; reasoning holds good may we hope and j believe that he was often among those who waited upon his God. And may we not be mistaken in our hopes when we believe in the closing scenes of life he was.not only borne on eagle's wings, but clear, when he said "I think I have.done my duty." And since the Lord of all the earth makes no mistakes, may this dispensation of his providence so affect the internal condition of the Empire and the general weal of the world that we, as British subjects, and representatives of the outside world as our sympathizing brethren may be able to say "Not my will but Thine be done: the Lord hath given, the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord." Rev. Father Bunoz. Very Rev. E. M. Bunoz, O. M. J., in the Catholic Church on Sunday morning during his sermon said among other things, "We are lamenting the death of our king. The king, for us, is the embodiment of the temporal power of that special system of government which rules over the destinies of that Empire of which Canada is a part. Our loyalty is all the more firm because it rests, not in blood or sentiment, but on principle, on conscience and faith. We p,iy obedience and respect to the king, for such is the command of God and when a king is fair to all, and endeavours to give a just government to all his subjects, we add to our loyalty in this regard, feelings of gratitude and love. King Edward, whose death we are lamenting, was one of those. We must, therefore, unite with the wave of sympathy in mourning that sovereign of the British Empire and applaud to the high tributes and praises that are paid to his dear memory." Rev. C F. Connor. The British nation has, this week, been called upon to pass through an experience which has both startled and stunned it. Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, ascended the throne left vacant by the death of his mother the late, much beloved, Queen Victoria, in 1901, as Edward VII. At that time unpleasant I rumors were circulated about his manner of life and the nation feared, in silence, l Their fears have not been realized. . During the nine short years of his reign tho Empire has been at peace, and blessed with prosperity. Diplomatic relations were never better, and the late king was familiarly called j Edward the Peacemaker. Now, at the very important crisis between the Lords and Commons, God ' has seen fit to remove him from the J scene of action. Upon a younger man falls the responsibility, and the nation i hesitates. What will the years bring ! forth? It seems as if the voice of God speaks as of old, "Speak unto the people that they go forward." With no lack ! of feeling or respect do we use these words. We paus>e by the open grave, as it were, to pay our last respects I and offer a tribute to the late King who tried to do his best. But the de- ,'mands of the day make it imperative ! that we again fall into line and move J forward. By those far removed from the scene of action, the loss may not be felt so keenly.From the thoughtless may even come words of disrespect; but, whatever may have been the errors of his younger days we know this���he tried, and to judge by results, he succeeded. The parts of the Empire are to-day, bound by closer ties than I ever. The Imperial feeling is stronger and more deeply implanted in the hearts of the people. And what more than thisspeaks more strongly the assur- anceof peace to the world!. An eloquent tribute to the place he occupied in the hearts of the people is given in the fact that he alone of the sovereigns of the world, could travel abroad in safety without an armed escort. The uncertainty of the hour may bring to many privation and suffering; but years ago the present crisis would have plunged the nation into civil war. How devoutly we ought to thank God for the changed conditions !. The easy passing of the present crisis may largely account for the more remote parts of the Empire being less deeply affected; this, however, is a greater reason for a truer expression of grief. And tonight the Methodist church in Prince Rupert unites with her sister churches in rendering this reward of tribute to the great and beloved. At St. Andrew's Hall Owing to the absence of Bishop Du Vernet, who was in Metlakatla, the expected report of the pulpit comments in St. Andrew's Hall cannot be given to-day.

The Ellis Lumber Co., is one of the largest concerts of the kind in Northern British Columbia, and the transfer means a big thing for Mr. ("handler. When Mr. Chandler was seen by the Optimist this morning he would neither deny or confirm the report. He simply remarked that he never yet gave an interview to a newspaper, not that he had anything against them, but he did not think the public would be interested in his affairs. Nevertheless, Mr. Chandler is taking four or five horses, and a lot of other necessary material for a lumber camp up on the Port Simpson with him. Artificial Ice. The Princess May will make a special trip from Vancouver to Stewart, leaving the south on May 25, calling here on the 27th, and proceed to Steewart, where she will lay up for two days and then return. The steamer Henriette brought over the first lot of fresh fish and of artificial ice from the Pacific Coast Fishing Co., of Queen Charlotte Islands. The consignment was for the Prince Rupert Fish market. The products of the Pacific Fish Company will be a great boon for Prince Rupert, and the ice plant will assure the local people of plenty of frozen water for cooking purposes. The Cetriana called in here Sunday on her way south and took a number of passengers with her.

He had been out shooting (luring the day, and was fortunate to.land Mr. Eagle. The wings would measure fully six feet from tip to tip.

CHARITY or BUSINESS ��� Which? ��� HPHE germ of both Life and * Fire Insurance had its rise in the custom of taking up a collection for the stricken family. We all chipped in in the hope and expectation that if we were snuffed out by either sickness or accident, the neighbors would do as much for us. Life insurance avoids the uncertainty of leaving things to neighbors. It is a business plan, founded on laws of mathematics and sound economy, to provide for thos<? dependent on us in case of death. Life insurance is no longer a ���charity, or quasialtruism, any more than fire insurance is. Life insurance is a duty and a privilege. To eliminate the distressing results of death, through insurance, payable to business partners, wife, or children, seems, but common prudence. Lord Nelson in his will left bis wife and daughter "to the tender care of the British Nation, to which 1 have given my life." And the wife and daughter gravitated to the Poor House; for what is everybody's business is nobody's business. Don't leave your loved ones to the care of the public or the neighbors. The neighbors may have troubles of their own. Cut out the risk and worry by insuring in the Sun Life of Canada The cost is nominal; the results phenomenal. Let us talk the matter over with you. F. B.
