"I Think I Have Done M
King Edward Died in
|      Presence of Family
His Friends Convinced That Worry Over
tne Political Situation Aggravated
Fatal Illness—Pneumonia Follows Bronchitis and End Came Near Midnight
LONDON, May 6—King Edward VII
who had returned to England from a
vacation a few days ago in the best of
health,.died at 11:45 o'clock last night,
In the presence of his family, after an
illness of leas than a week, which was
serious hardly more than three days.
Announces Father's Death,
^he Prince of WaleB, succeeded to
the crown Immediately according to
the laws of the kingdom without official ceremony. His first official act
was to dispatch to the lord mayor the
'announcement of ihis (father's death,
In pursuance of custom. His telegram
read:
"I am deeply grieved to inform you
that my beloved father the king, passed away peacefully at 11:45 tonight.
(Sgd.)George.".
Physicians' Bulletin.
The physicians soon afterwards issued their official bulletin which was
»3 follows:
"May 6. 11:50 p. m. His Majesty the
king, breathed his last at 11:45 tonight in the presence of her majesty
Queen Alexandra, the Prince and
Princess of Wales, the Princess Royal,
the Duchess of Fife, Princess Victoria
and the Duchess of Argyle. (Sgd.)
Laking, Reid, Powell- and Dawson."
Pneumonia Following Bronchitis.
"Pneumonia following bronchitis is
'believed to have been the cause of
death, hut the doctors thus far bave
refused to make a statement. Some
of the. king's friends are convinced,
that woryr over the critical political
situation which confronted him, with
sleepless nights, aggravated, if it did
not cause, the fatal illness. Besides
tbe nearest relatives in England, the
Duke of Fife, and the Archbishop of
Canterbury, were In the death chamber. The king's brother, the Duke of
Connaught, with his family, is at Suez
hastening home from Africa. The
king's daughter, Queen Maude of Norway will Btart for England tomorrow.
News Was Expected.
The Intelligence that the end of King
Edward's reign had come, was not a
surprise at the last. The people bad
been expecting It any hour since ithe
evening bulletin was posted at Buckingham palace and flashed throughout
the kingdom. The capital received It
without excitement, but sadly, for the
king with his own people was unquestionably one of the most popular rulers
In the world. They regarded him aa
one of the strongest forces making for
the stability of the peace of the empire. The fashionable restaurants were
just emptying and a few groups of late
theatre goers were making their way
homeward, through the rain while a
email crowd still hung about the palace when the streets were filled suddenly with news boys crying "Death
of the King." The papers were quickly seized and the people discussed the
momentous event quietly and soon dispersed. The streets were deserted by
1 o'clock.
Bending the Newt.
Within a few minutes after the death
of the king the home office was telegraphing the Intelligence to the heads
of other governments and the British
diplomats and colonial officials throughout the world.
Bitting up Yesterday.
All who knew the king expected that
his death would be sudden and it
would nofco-have occasioned great Bur-
prise if it had occurred without warn*
ing, as result of heart trouble. Almost
to -the end he refused to take to his
bed and was sitting up yesterday in
a large chair.
Recognized His Family. . .
The queen and others of the royal
family and four doctors have been constantly In the sick room throughout
the day. Several hours before his
•death the king was in a comatose condition but he rallied slightly between
9 and 10 o'clock and then appeared to
have recognized his family. Then he
lapsed into unconsciousness which
'ended In his passing.
lunge Beat of Trouble.
When Dr. St. Clair Thompson, the
throat specialist was called this morning. It was expected that an operation
would be necessary but after a con-
vultatkm It was decided that the lungs
were the seat of the most serious
symptoms. Experts were held In
readiness to administer an anaesthetic
but there was fear that the weakness
of the king's heart might result In a
fatal issue, and an operation was set
aside as a last resort
Body In King's Chamber.
The body lies In the king's chamber
in the northwest wing of Buckingham
palace which is brilliantly lighted,
while the rest of the great gloomy
building with the exception of Lord
Knolly's office is entirely darkened.
It was nearly half ah hour after the
king breathed his last when Lord
Knollys walked Into the office and said
to the waiting reporters, "Gentlemen
his majesty is dead." The people outside the palace, only learned the news
when bearers appeared with papers.
In the meantime the prince and princess of Wales had taken leave of the
other members of the royal family at
the main entrance soon after midnight.
They drove direct to Marlborough
house. Princess Victoria, who is her
mother's constant companion remained
with the queen. The others of the
family followed the prince and princess
of Wales.
Privy Councillors Summoned.
A summons to the privy councillors
has been issued by Sir Almarc Fltzroy,
clerk of the councillors convening the
council in the throne room of St.
James palace at 2 o'clock this morning
when the -councillors will, with one
choice and consent of tongue and heart
publish and proclaim that the high
and mighty Prince George Is now, by
the death of our late- sovereign of
happy memory, become our only lawful
and rightful liege lord George 5th by
grace of God, king of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, defender of the faith and emperor of
India, to whom -we1 do acknowledge all
faith and constancy • with all hearty
and humble affection, beseeching God
hy whom kings and queens reign, to
bless the royal Prince George 5th,
many happy and long years to reign
over us."
PRESIDENT TAFT
SENDS CONDOLENCES
Offers Profound  Sympathy of Government of  United States to
Bereaved Queen.
WASHINGTON, May 6—President
Taft, upon learning of the death of
King Edward, wrote the following
message of condolence to Queen Alexander which was cabled to Buckingham palace tonight:
"On the sad occasion of the death
of King Edward, I'offer to your majesty, and to your son, his illustrious
successor, the most profound sympathy
of the government of the United States
whose hearts go out to their British
kinsmen, on this, their national bereavement. To this add the expression
to your majesty and to the new king
of my personal sympathy and of my
appreciation of those high qualities
which made the late king so potent an
influence towards peace and justice
among tbe nations."
The president also sent his military
aide to the British embassy to express
his condolences to Ambassador Bi-yce.
Ambasador Bryce received an official
announcement of the death of the
king at the BrltlBh foreign office. He
appeared to.be deeply affected and declared he would make no statement
until tomorrow.
POLITICAL EFFECT
Public Opinion Will Demand Shelving
of Liberal Programme.
IjONDON, May 7.^Publlc opinion will
doubtless demand that the Liberals' program for reforming the house of lords,
with a possible appeal to the crown to
make the most Important decision a sovereign haa ibeen caled upon to make In
many years, shall be laid aside for a longtime. They would .be opposed to thrusting upon King Edward's successor, at the
very beginning of his reign, a question bo
vital to the future of the empire.
SIR  WILFRID  LAUR1ER
WILL TOUR  THE  WEST
OTTAWA, May 8.~Slr Wilfrid Laurler
has definitely decided to visit western Canada early in July. He will .be away until
probably September, and will address
meetings at Fort William, Brandon, York-
ton, Saskatoon, Reglna, Weyburn, Moose
Jaw, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and

EARTHQUAKE AT FRE8N0.
FRESNO. Gal., May 6—A sharp
earthmiake was felt In this city shortly before 9 o'clock today. The vibrations lasted for more than a minute,
shook! buildings and caused dishes to
rattle. The court house shook so that
the employees ran out of their offices.
SORROW HERE
Nelson Shocked at News
•City Will Pay
Respect
Word of the king's death was received by The Dally News at 4:45
o'clock yesterday afternoon, and a special edition' was quickly placed on the
streets. The supply was quickly exhausted, and It was necessary to run
off hundreds more. The news seemed
to spread Instantaneously and almost
at once flags were seen, floating at
half mast on the court house, on the
public school, on the Bank of Montreal,
and elsewhere In the city. The merits
of the late monarch and his consort,
the prospects of the heir, and the possible effect on the course of events
In Great Britain, were common topics
of conversation. Reminiscences of
King George's visit to Canada a few
years ago when Duke of York were
fairly numerous. Through all conversation ran a general note of profound sorrow, and on every hand the
news caused a shock.
Marks of Respect.
The general dissemination of tbe
news coincided very nearly with closing time in the stores, and the majority closed their doors a little earlier
than usual. In the evening the Empire and Arcade theatres remained
dark, as-a mark of respect to the late
sovereign. The local court of the Independent Order of Foresters, In session last night, passed a resolution of
sorrow at the death of his late majesty, the same to be recorded on the
minutes.
It is probable that the government
offices will tbe closed today, though no
instructions to that effect had been
received from Victoria last night. The
session of the supreme court, however,
under the-circumstances, will have to
be continued.
Memorial  Exercises.
It is announced that the services
tomorrow evening. In both the Baptist
and Methodist churches will be of a
memorial character. On the day of
King Edward's funeral, also, there will
be a memorial service In St. Saviour's
church.
The city council on Monday night
will probably take action toward the
holding of a public memorial service
on the day of the funeral, on the Recreation grounds, or at some other
equally suitable point. The school
board will hold a meeting today, at
which It will probably be decided to
have the schools co-operate in such
memorial exercises, if held, the children to parade from the school to the
point of assembly.

"DONE  MY DUTY."
LONDON, May 6—"Well it le
all over,, but I think I have done
my duty," These words fell
from the lips of King Edward
when awakening from an Inter*
val of unconsciousness this afternoon. Gloom has settled over
the city and provinces, following
the announcement of the King's
death.
KING'S SUDDEN ILLNESS
CAUSED CONSTERNATION
Huge   and]Anxious  Crowds   Awaited
News at Buckingham Palace—
Conflicting Rumors
LONDON, May 6—An atmosphere of
great depression surrounds Buckingham
palace today. The bulletins.describing
the King's condition and the statement
of the physicians now in attendance issued shortly before noon, while vague
in terms. Inspired profound gloom in
the city. It was generally construed to
mean that the condition was not at all
favorable.
Country Shaken
The suddenness of the transition from
yesterday morning when the king iwas
receiving presentations to the piesent
when it is believed he is critically ill,
has shaken the country. For the moment business and politics are at a
standstill. The Prince of Wales arrived at the palace at 10 o'clock this
morning. In addition 'to the three physicians who were in attendance through
the night, and are now spending the day
at the palace, air Francis Laking, Sir
James Reld, and Sir Richard Douglas
Powell, the specialist, there was summoned this) morning Dr. Bert-rand Daw-
sou and Dr. St. Clair Thompson. All
of the medical party remained within
call of the sick chamber.
'Reassuring News
The first official news given out early
today Indicated an improvement. The
news was received iwith cheers throughout the eltv.-,Thhv bulletin stated that
his majesty's condition remained much
the same.
Worse Instead of Better
The subsequent examination developed that the patient's bronchial tubes,
instead of being in better condition
were more seriously affected after the
night's sleep than tbey were yesterday.
Thereupon a bulletin was issued saying
"Tbe King passed a comparatively quiet
night but the symptoms have not improved and his majesty's condition
gives rise to grave anxiety." Tbe doctors announced that the next bulletin
will be issued at 6:30 this evening.
Crowd at Palace
The day was bright and sunny and
before noon a great crowd was loitering dn front of the palace in the vlci-
ity of the »ew Victoria memorial building and many carriages gathered in St.
James Park. Only officials were admitted to the palace precincts. So
dense was the throng and so absorbed
were the people in his majesty's illness that the' arrival of the Prince of
Wales attracted practically no attention. Early in the afternoon the members of the diplomatic corps called and
signed the visitor's book as did many
others. The prominent personages all
left the palace betraying by their expressions the fears entertained. "Very
bad," said the Archbishop of Canterbury with a solemn shake of his head
as he emerged from the palace gate
and iwas questioned regarding his majesty's condition.
Power of Resistance Weakened
The King's age and corpulence and ,
the well known weakness of the heart I
which has caused occasional attacks re- -
sembltng vertigo during the past two
or three years and which were attributed to constant Bmoltlng of strong cigars,
have all served to weaken his power of
resistance to disease.
Widespread Effect
The prospect of the death or long illness of the sovereign confronts the
country at the worst possible time in
the year. From a political and other
points of view such an outcome would
be particularly disastrous. Tlie greatest constitutional crisis In generations
hangs over Great Britain. King Edwarl
is familiar with all features of the question which would be particularly trying
to his successor, who, upon the threshold ot his reign would be called upon
to deal with the question of employing
the authority of the crown to curb the
powers of the peers. From a social and
business standpoint the monarch's demise would be equally unfortunate. The
social season, when families are (Hocking from the country to London and the
merchants are counting upon a big business Is Just beginning, and was expected this year to be the most brilliant of
many seasons: The King's death would
throw the court and country Into mourning and end the social activities.
Stock Exchange Exited
The Block exchange was much excited
in the early hours hy conflicting rumors, one of which ran that the King
had died. The market opened weak un-

Castigated  Youth  Sues
Prominent Crow
Lumberman
(Continued on Page Five,)
The position of the whipping post In
the social economy of Wattsburg, on
the Crow line, Is now being argued in
the supreme court at Nelson, before
Chief Justice Hunter, and a special
jury, and the case Is proving one of
extraordinary Interest. The defendant is A. E. Watts, the well known
lumberman, jhead of the Wattsburg
Lumber company of Wattsburg and
Proctor, and the plaintiff Is William
Slater, millwright, of Wattsburg, who
is suing Mr. Watts for damages, for
the wounded feelings of ihis son, who
waa the subject of the whipping. The
case engrossed yesterday's whole sitting, and at adjurnment the defence
had only been begun.
The prosecution is being conducted
by D. E. McTaggart of Fernie, assisted by James O'Shea, of Nelson, while
M. A. Macdonald of Cranbrook, is In
charge of the defence. Sitting with
the defendant and his counsel was
James H. Ryley, of- Queen's Bay, recently a practising barrister In the
Old Country. The special jury Is composed of F. A. Starkey, foreman, N. F.
Kendall, W. Rutherford, W. G. GUlett,
E. B. Stevenson, G. A. Hunter, W.
Waldie and J. A. Irving.
Boy Describes Trouncing.
The incident on which the suit is
based'took place on April 3, 1909,
Ross Slater, the "infant" plaintiff, a
strapping young fellow, being then
just under 18 years of age. Young
Slater was an extremely diffident witness, his lordship at one stage adjourning the court for 20 minutes to allow
him to collect himself, and the story
was dragged out of him at a painfully
slow rate. Slater described the events
of the Saturday evening In question,
when, after he had finished his day's
work with his father on the construction of one of the mill buildings, Teddy
Watts, the 30-year-old son of the defendant, sent him to his father's house,
where he was accused of cultivating
the friendship of Mr, Watts' 13-year-
old daughter, and of making remarks
about her, the defendant having a pile
of papers before him which represented a day's taking of evidence of various employes. Young Slater said he
admitted to it he defendant association
with, his daughter and little granddaughter, often stopping to pet her
colt In the barn while on his way to
feed his own horse In another stable,
but denied having ever said a disrespectful word about her. He stated
that Mr. Watts shook the papers in
his face, stated that he was a J. P. and
could do anything he liked with the
people around there, stated that tlie
penalty for what he had done was 20
years, and gave him the choice of the
20 years, or a public thrashing.
Chose Lesser Evil,
With great reluctance the boy nominated the thrashing, and Mr. Watts
disappeared, returned with a buggy
whip, ordered him to follow, and led
the way to flag-staff In the front yard,
ordering him to take off his coat, and
hold his hands as high up on the flagstaff as he could. After two strokes,
tho boy called a halt in the proceedings, but on being informed that if be
did not resume the position he would
get, an extra dose, lie took the rest of
it. He was not sure of the number
of strokes, but one was on the neck,
and his ear was out so that It bled.
The understanding was ttiat he should
receive six strokes, Mr. Watts preferring that mode of punishment, to
avoid the disgrace to bis parents involved In a penitentiary term. They
were laid on aa hard as Mr. Watts
could lay them on. The whipping was
administered with Mr. Watts* two sons
stnndlng bv, with Mrs. Watts and the
girls on the veranda, and In full view
of the cook-house, a few yards away,
where the men were at supper.
Slater said Mr. Watts then sent him
for his father, who was eating his supper at the mess-house, and In Mr.
Watts' house there was another warm
session, Mr. Watts convincing his
father that he had been guilty of a
very serious crime, whereupon his
father thanked Mr. Watts, and said If
that was the case the sooner a stop
was put to It, the better.
Under crossexamlnatlon In the afternoon, the Information waa extracted
from youpg Slater that Louis Cox, the
foreman, had warned blm a couple of

LATE MONARCH LEADER OF SOCIETY
The Lace King was Unchallenged Head of British
Society—Many Excellent Reforms Due to His
Example—A Singularly Happy Home Life
The late king was keenly Interested
in both domestic and foreign politics.
But whether he leaned towards the
Conservatives or towards the Liberals,
whether he favored the Nationalist
cause In Ireland, or that of the Orangemen, whether he preferred an understanding with France to one with Germany, or vice versa, no one could say.
He never uttered one word which could
furnish any positive indication of his
personal feelings upon any of these
subects—save one.
A Leader In  English Society.
From the time of his marriage the
late king was the leading figure in
English society, and to a great extent
lis arbiter, the queen delegating to him
what may he described as the social
duties and prerogatives of the crown.
Possessed of unrivaled and unfailing
tact, of an extremely level head, and'
of an altogether unique knowledge of
the world, tbe king's position endowed
him with a social power superior to
that enjoyed by any continental sovereign.
It is no exaggeration to assert that
tho late king was able to socially make
or mar any man or woman In Engianr),
without regard to their nationality, to
. extent which not even the autocrat
«f all the Riisslas could equal. This
power the king administered both
wisely and  well.
Many Reforms.
Tbe English people are Indebted to
the late Wng for many reforms,
brought about by him In bis rc.o as
social arbiter, and which afford au excellent indication of his charac1*:. It.
is, thanks to him, for Instance, that
hard drinking and coarseness of language have gone out of fashion. When
he was a boy it was considered 1-ad
form for a gentleman to retire to rest
otherwise than intoxicated, while almost every phrase spoken was ernhfl-
llslied with blasphemy.
And If a higher tone of morality
and a greater sense of propriety now
prevail than In the earlier half Ot the
last century., It is in a great measure
due to the unobstruslve but ex- eiient
care which the king took to keep
out of society those who have forfeited their rights to remain within its
pale. He was as ready as any other
votary of pleasure to meet them in
the sphere to which they have descended, and to treat them there with
kindness and consideration,' but he
would not tolerate their presence in
houses that are respectable, and
took quiet means to eliminate them
thereform.
It is due to him also that all the
ill-feeling towards the Jewish race
has disappeared, and the Hebrews,
who, In the early days of the Victorian era, were not even admitted to
the full rights and privileges of ordinary citizenship, are now to be found
occupying seats in the house of lords
and In the front rank of the most
aristocratic and   exclusive   circles of
society.
His Happy Home Life.
One of the moat pleasing traits of
this genial king was his singularity,
happy home life. He has been the
object of many stories of a more or
less scandalous nature, which he has
considered to be beneath his dignity
to deny or refute. But he has done
well to treat them with silent contempt. For It was only necessary to
see the king among his family in
Sandrlngham, and to observe the affection with which his nephews and
nieces spoke of "Uncle Bertie," to realize that he was slandered abominably
when described as a "roue."
• GOD   SAVE  THE   KING.
• God save our gracious King;
• Long live our noble King;
• God save the King!
• Send  him victorious,
• Happy  and  glorious,
• Long to reign over us,

• May he defend our laws,
• And ever give us cause

• O, Lord our God, arise I
• Scatter his enemies
• And make them fall;

• Frustrate their knavish tricks

• God Save us all!
PARLIAMENT   MEETS
Taking the Oath of Allegiance to the
New Sovereign.
LONDON, May 6—Arrangements
are already practically complete for
meetings of the privy council and
parliament the statutes providing that
they shall assemble on the death of a
sovereign. The ministers will attend,
give up their eeals of office, be resworn, receive a proclamation of the
new king, pass votes of condolence and
congratulation and adjourn. After
giving up their seals the ministers will
receive them back from the new ruler.
The privy councillors will also be
sworn afresh.
Parliament will assemble. The first
business will be that of taking the
oath of allegiance to the new sovereign.
Then perhaps, a vote of condolence
will the moved. Unless the king dissolves parliament, the present men*
hers will occupy their seats without
Interruption.

EXPERT COMMENT     ■
ON CHINESE RIOTS
Chinese Forces—Japanese in Chang Sa
—Trouble Mainly Economic-
Rising Wat Expected.
Famine, Jealousy and hatred of foreigners seem to have been the three factors
bringing about this latest trouble in China.
Router's telegrams during the last 2i
hours show that without doubt the rising
at Changaha Is of a very serious character, and, so far as the Yangtse Valley Is
concerned, It may spread Indefinitely.
A representative ■ of the Financier was
fortunate in obtaining the opinion and
comments of a gentleman who is well acquainted with China, Including this part
of the interior. His statement on the
situation was In this wise:
"This rising at Chang-sha has been
rather expected for'Some time. Although
the country around is rich with regard to
soil and other resources, and the population about as industrious as usual, there
has been a very serious shortage of rice,
and it would seem that the governor ot
the town has not taken adequate means
to deal with the acute stage of the famine
as It arose. As he appears to have been
killed or to have committed suicide, it Is
probable that we shall, never have the
Inside truth of what has happened, and
how far he was personaly to blame It
is impossible to nay. It appears to me
that the course of events has been rather
In this way. First of all, there was widespread privation amongst the Inhabitants,
not only of the town but of the district
around, and probably many people from
the outside flocked In with the Idea of
getting food and, perhaps, employment.
This led to a state of affairs which the
authorities either could not, or at any
rate did not, cope with. Not unnaturally
the starving Chinese began to get desperate, and I see, according to one telegram,
that they were much Incensed at the fact
that workmen from another district had
heen brought Into the town for the purpose of building or adding to the British
consulate, This probably put the cap on
to the situation, and the anti-foreign feeling, which has always been very strong
at Chang-sha, was at once manifested In
violence."
Hankow Baptists
"Have you formed any  opinion as to
wheuier the dimensions of tne rising can
be kept within louai limits by the local
authorities V"
• -bcarceiy. If It be true, as stated, that
the soldiery in Cnang-sua have joined ihe
1'ioieis, it is very ciear tnat law and order
cannot be restored without -bringing la
forces from outside, and, as regarus that,
it may ue useful to bear in minu the position of tne town in reference to tne main
stream of the Yangtse. At Hankow,
which Is the great commercial centre for
this part of Onina, there la the terminus
of the railway iroin Fekin, and that railway may play a very important part In
tne task of quelling the disturbance, If
the Hankow people have got suttlcient
troops at once available. From Hankow
tnere is a navigable river running southward to the great lako ol Tong Ting How,
and from the lake the Blver Hengkiang
is navigable up to Chang-sha, which hi
the junction of several streams. So that
tne town may be said to be in easy coiro
munication by water with Hankow and
tne iangtse-Kiang generally, l see that
at Hankow itself the people are restless,
and 1 take it that the first thing to do
would be to dispatch a sufficiently strong
force from Pukln to give pause to any
sort of rebellious movement In Hankow,
Then, of course, there ore quite a large
number of Europeans, especially British
and Germans, and the people have got accustomed to their presence, and to dealing
with them, and are not very likely to be
so much swayed by ignorant fanaticism
as the people at Chang-sha, but at both
places I am sorry to say that the feeling
against the Christian missions Is extremely strong, and, os we know already from
the cables, the mission mlldlngs at Crmng-
sha were among the first to bo destroyed.
The Chinese Forces
"I should say that, speaking generally,
it Is a case where, as nt a great tire, If
the measures taken at once are vigorous
and adequate to the occasion, It may not
be very difficult to get the affair under,
and the attitude and procedure of the
pekln government In this trouble will bo
extremely interesting. It is generally assumed, and I think with truth, that th*
Chinese army today Is altogether a different machine from what it was at the time
of the war with Japan. Europeans discipline and arms have been Introduced,
European and Japanese officers have
taken the Chinese troops in hand, and If
all goes well there should bo no difficulty
whatever In dealing with this Chang-sha
affair—at least, so long as It Is limited to
the one town and the district aroud."
The Japanese in Chang-sha
"Are Japanese; Interests very great at
Chang-sha v"
"They are becoming so, but It Is only
in quite recent years that the Japanese
have In any way established themselves
la Hunan. J do not think tnat tney are
more disliked than other foreigners, and
1 believe tney have the advantage of usually being able to speak the native tongue
with some proficiency. In an affair like
this, however, all foreigners, of whatever
nationality, will be tarred with the same
brush.
Mainly an Economic Trouble
"I regard the whole business as mainly
economic. If there had been plenty of
food and the usual amount of employment
things would have gone on all right, and
there would have been no riot. Incidentally, It 1b worth noting that the scarcity
of rice at Cban-sha Is to a large extent
due to want of transport and better organization. The adoption of European
methods—for example, tne extension of the
railway from Hankow to Chang-sha—
might have made all ithe difference in the
way of supplies. The navigation from; the
Yangtse la nearly all up-stream, and the
native craft will have to be depended upon as cargo-boats, and their progress is,
of course, wretchedly slow, if a train-
load of rice could nave been sent Into
Chang-sha at the critical moment It
might have saved all the worst of the
trouble. I should imagine that the present
time in the province of Hunan there Is
quite sufficient food to prevent famine, if
It could only be concentrated where it is
most wanted but In China, even now,
when the telegraph Is established all over
the country, the risk of famine, as In
India, Is connected with the problem ot
transport much more closely than with
the ouestlon of production. The more Intelligent of the Chinese are quite alive to
this, and the extension of railways should,
in time, make It possible for any large
centre of population to be cut off from
food supply under anv, circumstances.
Szechuan Possibilities
"For example, If there were anything
like an adequate steam service of cargo-
boats plying up the river to Chonking it
would be easy to provision any part of
Hunan from the province of Szechuan.
That region Is one of the most fertile and,
perhaps the most productive or any province in China. The only reason why more
trade has not been done there hitherto has
been the difficulty of getting there. It is
of the utmost Importance that the navigation of the Yangtse should be improved
and cheapened, so that the freight charges
from the seaboard to Szechuan should be
as low as Is compatible with the actual
distance. When that reform Is effected,
the prevention of famine throughout the
Yangtse Valley will be a comparatively
easy problem. There are, of course, innumerable tributaries from the main
stream, many of which are navigable for
good-sized oraft. This trouble In Chang-
sha touches the Interests of Great Britain
more than any other Europeans trading to
China, for the plain reason that the
Yangtse Valley constitutes the main sphere
of British operations and Influence. One
Important result of building the projected
line down to Hong Kong will be to give
an entirely new and more direct route
from the sea Into the Interior of the province. The saving of time ns compared to
the Yanetse route" should be verv great,
but the Chinese are not quick builders, although verv good ones.
"Chang-Bha Is on th? route of the railway,
the concession for which the Chinese government have, withdrawn, and they will
no doubt proceed to build It in their own
fashion. Had the railway been completed
this crisis would nqt have occurred,"
A Clean Man
Outside cleanliness is lets than ball the battle. A nan may
scrub himself a dozen times a dsy, sod still be unclean. Good
health means cleanliness not only outside, but inside. It means
a clean stomach, clean bowels, clean blood, a clean liver, end
new, clean, healthy tissues. Tbe man who is dean In this war
will look it and set it. He will work with energy and think
clean, clear, healthy thoughts.
He will never be troubled with liter, InauJ, stomach or blood

PAOI THREE
HAVING TROUBLE
IN BRITISH SPORT
Turmoil  Over    Incidents   In  Racing,
Football, Cricket, Cycling
r\       |        i   and Running.
' The London Express says:
There Is turmoil in no fewer than
Ave branches of sport—racing, foot
ball, cricket, cycling and running.
Within the last few days a serious
offence has been proved against a
famous Jockey, remarkable allegations
have been made against the referee
in a first class football match and the
teams taking part In It, two governing
bodies of sport have come to loggerheads, an old cricket quarrel has been
revived, and two prominent London
football clubs   have   been fighting for
!"«• ,   „
The troubles may be summarized  as
follows:
The referee in the football match
Newcastle United vs. Middlesbrough,
at the latter place on Saturday last, is
said to have insinuated that the teauiB
had come to an arrangement, and that
Newcastle did not try to win. The
referee is to be reported to the Football league. It is also stated that the
referee has decided to report the
dubs.
Two prominent London football clubs
are in financial difficulties.
Frank Wootton, the famous Jockey,
bas been suspended for two months.
There is a light between the National Cyclists' union and the Amateur
Athletic association regarding the con
trol of cycle racing.
A cricket .quarrel of last season has
been revived.
Football.
A sensation has been caused in Association football circles by the statements attributed to Mr. Alfred Green,
the referee in the Newcastle vs.
Middlesbrough match last Saturday.
At this time of the year certain
clubs are fighting tor the championship ot the first division of the
league, while others are struggling
to avoid relegation to the second division.
Newcastle United, who are In the
final ot the English cup, hold a high
position in the first division of the
league, whereas their recent opponents—Middlesbrough—are In danger
of relegation. A defeat last Saturday
would have placed the latter club in
a very serious position.
The result of the game was a draw.
Most of the critics stated that Newcastle were obviously the better side.
"Had Middlesbrough taken advantage
of halt the chances presented them,"
said one critic, "they would have scored many goals; nut then had Newcastle turned to account a small percentage of their opportunities assuredly they would have scored many
more." .
After the match, during which the
spectators Jeered frequently, Mr.
Green, the referee, is stated to have
called Mr. Oliver, a Newcastle director,
and Mr. Poole, the chairman of the
Middlesbrough club, into his room
and to have insinuated that the
parties had come to an ararngement
and that Newcastle was not trying.
At a lengthy    meeting of the New
castle club, on Tuesday night, lt*wsa
decided to ask the Football league to
call Mr. Green before their management committee. .
. It is stated that Mr. Green has decided to report the clubs to the Football association and the league.
Tbe Woolwich Arsenal Football club
has been In financial difficulties for
some time, but a tew days ago it seemed that a satisfactory reconstruction
had been arranged. A new crisis has
arisen, however, and the future of the
ctub Is now problematical. The provisional committee which was conducting the preliminaries for the.formation of a new company has broken
off negotiations, and will be dissolved.
The owners of the ground desired the
committee to become responsible for
the annual rent of £250 for seven
years. The committee agreed' on
Tuesday night to the official receiver's offers in connection with other
assets, but refused to sign the ground
guarantee.
Mr. G. Leavey, the chairman of the
club, is endeavoring to form another
company. The Arsenal club were the
pioneers of professional football In
London.
The Leyton Football club may not
be in such a serious position as the
Arsenal, but that a feeling of unrest
prevails among the shareholders and
supporters was demonstrated at their
meeting on Monday night, when three
directors announced their intention of
resigning.

Reasons Why VANMINSTER Is the
Premier Subdivision
VANMINSTER lots are within 3-4 of a mile of the centre of New Westminster.
If we were to make you a present of a lot 50x160 feet in its natural rough state, you could not bring It
to the present high state of cultivation of our Vanmlnster lots for the price we are selling them at.
VANMINSTER Lots have from eight to twelve fruit trees, from six to twelve years old, growing on them.
Some lots have strawberry plants, and almost every foot has been so we.i cultivated that the land can be
I worked with a garden hoe.
VANMIN8TER Lots are situated on Third avenue and the municipal council has appropriated $15,000
tor macadnmizlng the road and building sidewalks the full length.
VANMINSTER lots are 25x150, 50x152, and 50x162.
VANMINSTER Lots are situated between two of the fastest growing cities on the North American
continent, having at present a combined population of 130,000.
VANMINSTER Lots are less than ten minutes' walk ol the New Westminster city electric cars.
VANMINSTER Lots are less than ten minutes' walk of the new Vancouver-Sapperton line.
Car Fare to Vanmlnster Lots is 17 1-2 cents from Vancouver, and,4 cents from New Westminster. You
make a big saving in taxes by living on Vanmlnster lots.
Our price for cleared and planted Vanmlnster lots Is no higher than unimproved lots In the same locality.
New Westminster today is a city of 14,000 inhabitants and In the last three years has made very rapid
progress and is now growing faster than at any time In its history. The largest manufacturing concerns
of the coast are establishing plants there and today New Westminster boastB of one of the largest monthly payrolls in BrltlBh Columbia Vancouver's tremendous growth has a great bearing on the development
■of New Westminster. Westminster property is today away below the price of Vancouver real estate, and
therefore, unamjioturliig concerns requiring large areas of ground find it more satisfactory to go to Westminster than to endeavor to conduct manufacturing concerns on high priced Vancouver property. With the
building of several new transcontinental railways to the coast (two of which at least, will have wharfage
facilities In New Westminster) the building of grain elevators for the handling of the wheat crop of Sunny
Alberta, the large salmon fishing industry, and lumber mill operations already! established there, only
serve to bring to mind the unprecedented development that must take place during the next "two or three
years. The excellent system of electrlo transportation maintained between Vancouver and Westminster by
tbe B. C. Electrlo Co., which is now operating a service on 'two distinct routes between the cities, and with
a third line building, ensures the ultimate junction of the two places into one of the largest commercial
centres °n the North American continent

Athletics and Cycling.
The action of the Amateur Athletic
association In cancelling their working agreement with the National Cyclists' union has produced a very bitter warfare between the supporters of
the two bodies.
For many years past athletic and
cycling clubs which have held mixed
meetings—athletics and cycling—have
been allowed to obtain a permit from
either the A. A. A. or the N. C. U.,
provided, of course, that they are affiliated to one of these organizations.
The N. C. U. desired, however, that
promoting clubs,, should apply to the
A. A. A. for permission to hold athletic events and to the N. C. U. for the
cycling part of the programme.
The A. A. A. strongly objected to
this alteration, and as the N. C. U.
stood firm the athletic body decided
last Saturday to break altogether with
the N. O. U., and to go a step further by promoting cycling events of
their own.
The N. C. U. officials now talk of
retaliating by promoting athletic
events. Meanwhile competitors must
Buffer, for certain meetings will not be
open to them if they remain loyal to
their governing body.
One of the original sources of tbe
trouble was the A. A. A. objecting to
the N. C. U. Including professional
foot races in their amateur cycling
programmes, Tihe N. G. U. pointed
out that In Wales and other places the
two were practically inseperable and
their secretary—Mr. S. R. Noble—also
sees no harm in an amateur and a
professional racing together.
There is no   apparent prospect of a
friendly settlement of the dispute.
Cricket.
A cricket quarrel of last season will
be revived at the next meeting of the
Surrey County Cricket club.. The Rev.
,J, C. Crawford, father of Mr. J. N.
Crawford, the All-England cricketer,
will move tbat the luspension of his
son be rescinded. Mr. J. N. Crawford
is now in Australia, where he went
shortly after he quarellerd with the
Surrey club.
It will be remembered that he refused to play for his county In the
match against the Australians, after
intimating previously to the secretary
his intention to turn out. He took exception to the personnel of the team,
and declined >to captain the side if certain men were not Included.
GREAT POLO GAMES FOR
INTERNATIONAL  CUP
The good form exhibited by the English polo players in the United States
has given hope that the International
polo cup wll lagain be brought to this
country (when a selected team will
cross the water in the autumn. The
excellent displays of. the team at Lake-
wood has raised high hopes of some
of the genuine polo enthusiasts and an
appeal is being made through: the press
for funds to purchase the best ponies
possible.
The fund which Is known as the International Polo Cup Recovery Fund
has not been so well subscribed to by
the leaders of polo as it might ibe.only
£3000 of the £10,000 required having
been received and there is still a long
way to go before the necessary amount
is raised.
Money Coming Slowly
In this connection the Illustrated'
Sporting and Dramatic News Bays "The
appeal Issued through the press by the
Hurlingham committee is not the voice
of the strong. Ninety of the leaders of
polo have only put up £3000 out of the
£10,000 required for the American cup
recovery fund. Ninety subscribers do
not seem a large number out of those
who play polo, but if they Include the
majority of those who get a game and
enjoyment, out of polo at Hurlingham,
that list Includes most of those who
might be expected to subscribe to such
an undertaking.
"It is rather doubtful whether the
best possible use has been made of
those who have proved themselves willing tv guarante up to £3000. That is
a very small portion of the £10,000 required, but it is far more than Is likely
to be lost by any such undertaking.
Ponies are not likely to die or .be reduced In value by playing for this cup.
If they win there Is certain to be an increase in value, probably more than
enough to cover all expenses of buying
of shipping and grooming. ' If this
1b a correct view, that which was particularly required was an Insurance
against loss of money, covered by a
guarantee of £3000.
"The guarantee fund has been started
on different lines and such as .compel a
total subscription of £10,000 or the
abandonment of the enterprise. The
committee will get their money (because
some one or two or.three rich men will
come forward and stand the cost, but
the general polo public are not going
to find the money and as for those who
are not polo players they do not care
much, and would just as soon see
Meadowbrook retain the'cup as Hurlingham regain it.
"The Interest in the polo clubs Is too
financial altogether to allow one of
their number to appeal to polo players
for finance, In the name of England,
without at least a mental protest from
some who have axes to grind elsewhere
* ilurllngham, as the. most free from
the financial element, Is the right club
to run tbe affair, but It must finance
its own show, because there is nobody
else that will do ItAfter all Its status
, and its finances, will increase In proportion to Its gallantry."
Will Have Strong Team
There will be no lack of men to pick
a thoroughly representative side from
when the time comes. Capt. Hardreas
Llpyd Is to be supreme In picking choosing a side and buying the ponies. He
will prove entirely efficient In this respect and he will have full support of
the Hurlingham committee.
To ensure the success of the British
team which comes to America In the
autumn true ahd tried polo pontes will

THE KING  18 DEAD.
The death of King Edward will
everywhere be recognized as a loss to
Great Britain'and to the Empire. He
was, indeed, a great king. He had
served a long apprenticeship, knew his
work thoroughly, and employed hie
ability to further large and wise ends.
Since we require in an artist perfection
of technique and then something to
make the technique worth while, so
we 'may say that with bim the work
of a king was elevated to the dignity
of a great art.  '       ■
Like Queen Victoria, he was a model
constitutional monarch, yet there was
a difference. She was a model constitutional queen, he a model constitutional king. The change, subtle and
difficult of analysis thought it may be,
was felt, at once. The masculine element was introduced. Some influences
that could be exercised only by a woman were no longer there; other influences that could be exercised only
by a man were distinctly present. But
in both instances there was a complete comprehension of the position of
a constitutional soverain, and on unfailing tact in the exercise of soverain
functions.
In the international affairs of the
world he was an eminent figure. The
soverain in England has exceptional
opportunities of knowing men and
policies. While ministries come and
go he remains. Of each ministry he
Is the confidant. He is familiar with
their several views and their individual
dispositions. Questions are presented
to him from all points of view by men
of eminent ability. He knows the real
as distinguished from the published
I history of many years of government.
No new minister coming to his work
can bring to bear the same long and
intimate knowledge and intimacy with
men and affairs. True, as this is of
acquaintance with preceding home ministries it ds even more widely true of
a knowledge and intimacy with foreign monarchs, their character and
alma, and with successive foreign ministries.
By King Edward those opportunities
were utilized in a remarkable manner.
Undoubtedly hei strengthened (the
international position of Great Britain,
not only by his personal popularity, as
In rthe United States, where he was
much esteemed, but also by his per*
sonal diplomacy. Though he delivered no sermons on the strenuous life,
he was no shirker. Without regard
for his own personal ease he devoted
himself to the service of his country.
He served it with genuine and sincere
patriotism with zeal and with wisdom.
BRITISH PAESS ON
NATIONS LOSS
Editorials  Deplore  Loss That  Empire
Has Sustained—Was First
of Englishmen
LONDON, May 7—All the morning papers appear iwith heavy mourning borders and full biographies of the dead
sovereign, the published editorials deplore the nation's Ices, while many
columns of dispatches from abroad testify to the interest and even alarm his
Illness excited throughout the world.
Little has yet been heard on the subject of the new king, but the universal
burden of the editorials, is the greatness of the loss suffered.
Zenith of His Fame
"In the zenith of bis fame, and what
seemed to his loyal subjects but the
middle of bis reign, he has been suddenly stricken down," says the Morning
Post. "Seldom has an English, king,
and never has a British king enjoyed
through his life the same kindly personal affection as always attended King
Edward. Only now too late, will men
find how much they owed to him, and
how great a part he unostentatiously
played."
Universal Affection
The Daily Telegraph says: "Even in
France and the United States King Ed*
ward commands well nigh as warm regard as can ever be extended to their
own rulers.- And If this was the case
abroad, what shall we say of the feelings with which our beloved sovereign
was regarded at liome. No three kings
In the whole range of our history en*
joyed bucJi universal affection us was
given Edward VII through his life."
First of Englishmen
The Standard says: "Tbe first of
Englishmen has passed away. Tbe monarch whose name is written among the
highest in the roll of England's long
line of sovereigns, a patriot, a statesman, a governor well fitted by the vigor of his intellect and the engaging
charm of his manner to be the actual,
as well as the ceremonial chlefi of the
people he loved so well and of the empire he ruled with such, memorable
success.
The New King
The thoughts of England turn largely
towards the new king, what policies he
is likely to follow, what ore the prospects of a successful reign. George V
never has been as well known or as
close to the people as bis father wils
iwlifcu he was Prince of Wales, hence he
riftver was so popular. His nature is
shy and retiring and he is not considered as much a man of the world as was
hia father. Nothing about King Edward
appealed to the Umlsh masses more
strongly than his devotion to sport
Prince George appears to care less for
it than me average English gentleman,
lie .cached maturity as merely the
grandson of the sovereign which gave
him little opportunity to participate In
public affairs, but he has be.Oins more
acilye during the past five years in
that direction. He has been a constant
attendant at ■parliament and followed
the debates on the house of lords question closely. He has made many addresses before 11.011-political organizations in the past two or three years and
has thereby gained a strong hold on
the people.
The Courage of His Race
The Times, in an editorial says: "To
the last he has shown tbe courage of
hiB royal race. Ho continued to transact business almost to the end. The
swiftness and wholly unexpected character of the >blow will add to the pain
It will bring not only to his own people
but to all who love peace throughout
the world.
Public Calamity
"The loss of such a sovereign at the
moment when we stand committed to
the gravest domestic crisis of our time
is a public calamity. We have, nevertheless, one consolation—the serious
character and the wide personal knowledge of public business throughout the
empire ot King George, affords a strong
hope that tbe ship of state will ibe wise*
ly and Urmly steered through all the
dangers w^ich menace it. We have
lost a great constitutional king. He
has left a successor In whom we may
confidently repose our trust,
her work, 'her high 'decree of Interpretative talent, tbat constitutes the peculiar
excellence of Mils Machwhlan as an artist,
and has won tor her so large a measure
ot success.
An excellent program of pictures was
shown at the Gem theatre last night The
feature subject, "The Broken Oath," is a
line dramatic film, by the famous "Imp
company. "The Hose of the Ranch," a
beautiful Mexican love story, nlmontaed
toy the Bison company, and "The Inquisitive Boy," and "The Irresistible Piano,"
complete the program. There will be a
matinee this afternoon at 2.80 o'clock.
Owing to the king's death there was no

The program this evening will include:

days before tbe whipping, not to be
around with the girls so much. Teddy
Watts bad also ordered him to take
his horse away. He gave details of
the occasion when he quit the barn by
a rear window, but did not know any
real reason why he should have used
that method,
Father Forgave.
William Slater gave fuller details of
the. interview with Mr. Watts, subsequent to the whipping, his son and-
Mr. Watts' two sons being present.
Mr. Watts' language led -him to believe that the boy had really done a
wrong, and under that mistaken impression he had agreed that the thing
ought to be stopped, but his son was
mistaken when he said he thanked Mr.
Watts. Mr. Watts, in closing the Interview, stated that the boy had really
not done a wrong, but that he was
merely working up a case. If he had
done a wrong, he would have shot him.
He asked the witness' forgiveness, and
proposed that nothing be said to anyone about the matter, which should be
dropped. The witness forgave the defendant, and they shook hands. At
this time, the witness was not
aware of the public nature of the
whipping, nor of the complete innocence of the boy,
Orossexamlned, the witness defended his son in the practice of being
around the barn and petting the colt
when the girls were there, saying he
would have done the same himself. He
had never heard of any order for the
employes not to speak to the little
girls. When he learned later on of the
public whipping, and saw the accounts
Mr. Watts put In the Cranbrook papers,
he felt released from the. agreement
to drop the matter.
Mother Testifies.
Mrs. Pauline Slater, mother of the
boy, was the lost witness for the prosecution. She first learned of the matter through a Cranbrook paper, and
asked her husband what man it was
gor the whipping. When she learned
it was her boy, she went straight to
Wattsburg, and had a warm interview
with the defendant, who for some time
evaded her demand for the reason for
the whipping, though he finally told
her, and informed her that if they
were not able to chastise their rascal
of a son, he could do so. She said she
would take her boy away, and he said
if she did he would prosecute. She
took the boy away, however. For*
three weeks he had welts on his neck.
To his lordship, she was not able to
state what they thought reasonable
damages, not. whether they expected to
pay Joseph Ryan, police magistrate of
Cranbrook. for his advice in tlie case.
She did not know that they could have
charged Mr. Watts in the police court.
To Mr. Macdonald she said If she
had known of her hoy hanging around,
she would not have permitted it for a
moment. Mrs. Slater was by far the
best of the three witnesses.
Defence Outlined.
Mr. Macdonald asked for the dismissal of the case, but his lordship
held that a defence was required, as
the illegal whipping bad been proved.
His lordship Instructed the jury, however, that if they believed the case
was a worked up one, and. that the infant plaintiff was prosecuting it under pressure from others, they had the
right at this stage to dismiss it.
Mr. Macdonald then opened the case
for. the defence, stating that it would
be shown that there was no real in*
Jury, and that, though the whipping
was admittedly illegal, it was completely justified. It would also be proven
absolutely that Mr. Watts had not
stated he was a J. P., and had not
given the boy the option of a whipping
or 20 years, but had given him the
option of a whipping, and prosecution
on the criminal charge of slander.
The dual defence would be set up, of
justification and consent.
Adjournment was taken to this morning.
MORE THAN HALF
OF MALE POPULATION
Palos Disaster Has Spread Consternation In Mining Villages—Two
Hundred Killed
PALOS, Ala,, May 6--The little min-
Ing village of Palos Is In mourning today. More than halt of the male population Is believed to bave perished as
the1 result of an explosion In No. 3 mine
of tile Palos Coal ft Coke company yesterday. About 200 men, 45 white and!
155 colored, are thought to have been
Mlled.   Eleven Indies have heen found.
In the 200 foot level the greatest number of men were working and there it
Is expected most of the ibodles will be
found. Coming so soon after the disaster in the mine at Mulga, Ala., where
41 men lost their lives last month, the
disaster has spread consternation in
the mining villages In this section. A
number of miners who escaped the first
disaster had come here to work and
several of them lost their lives yesterday. The black damp which filled tbe
mine soon .after the explosion, It Is.
thought, is being rapidly displaced and
parties are being equipped with oxygen
helmets and other paraphernalia necessary for entering a gaseous mine. • It
is hoped that all of the bodies will be
brought to the surface today. Numerous caves-ln In the mine were caused
by the explosion and the families of
the entombed men are hoping that some
may have found refuge from the deadly aftermath behind these.

KING'S SUDDEN ILLNESS
CAUSED CONSTERNATION
(Continued from First Page.)
improved when the sensational report
was disproved. Messages are pouring
into the palace from all parts of the
empire and foreign countries expressing
the hope that better news will soon toe
received.
Started Year Ago
King Edward's first serious attack of
bronchial trouble, which was accompanied with symptoms of asthma, was experienced a year ago. Since that time
his majesty has suffered several recurrences of the mailady. Each attack
proved worse than the preceding one
and more difficult to conquer. The
present illness came suddenly without
warning.
Worst Fears Confirmed
Callers at the palace today who had
expressed the hope that the reports Jn
the morning papers were exaggerated,
had their worst fears confirmed by the
palace officials. "I am very sorry to
say," said one of the King's close entourage, with a shake of his head, "that
the papers have not exaggerated his
majesty's condition. It Is very grave."
There are unmistakable signs that all
the members of the palace entourage
are greatly alarmed. g
Looked Very III
One government officer who, in his
official capacity, attended upon the audiences of the King on Wednesday, yesterday said: "The King looked very ill
Wednesday morning and very much
worse on Thursday. The chief outward
symptom was extreme hoarseness. He
was scarcely able to speak at times,
but insisted upon continuing the audiences. When .the king's condition was
the subject of remark, his majesty said:
'This Is a return of what I had at Biarritz. I got clear of it then tout caught
another cold at the theatre. However,
I will be all right in a few days'."
Continued Audiences
Whltelaw Reld, United States ambassador at the court of St. James, who
visited the King at Buckingham palace
on Wednesday, said today: "I went to
the palace upon the king's request to
talk over some future engagements.
The King then looked well and was In
good spirits. He was, however, coughing a great deal and complained that
his throat was distressing and very tiring. However, he talked -for fully half
an hour. I thought at the time that he
hardly realized how ill he was."
Huge Crowds
As the day wore on, the crowds at
the palace assumed huge proportions
and the police had difficulty in keeping
the approaches clear flor those having
official business. Even the announcement that no more bulletins would be
issued before evening failed to diminish, the number of anxious ones who
waite)i for further advises. It was
learned at 1 o'clock that although some
of the attending physicians remained
close by, tbelr presence bad not been
required In the sick chamber for some
time. This indicated at least that there
had heen no relapse. What the physicians most fear is that they will find
some growth on the bronchial tubes
requiring an operation. It is also known
that when the King's throat has been
affected previously he had heen subject
to spasmodic contractions ofi the vocal
chorda which were rather alarming. In
his majesty's present condition a sudden strain of euch spasms put on the
blood vessels, would .require likely instantaneous relief. Hence the constant
presence of Dr. Thomson; the throat
specialist who was called into the case
this morning.
Prayers Requested
Tbe Archbishop of Canterbury telegraphed to ail the 'bishops of England
and Wales this afternoon as follows:
"Prayers by the church and people of
England are desired on behalf of his
majesty King Edward in his grave illness." ; |uJ
Insuranoe Rates Raised
The rate of insurance offered by
Lloyds against loss in event of) the
King's death, was raised sharply following the issuance of this morning's more
alarming bulletin. Sixty guineas per
cent ds demanded for insurance against
losses in the event of death within
a month. The earlier morning'rate was
B0 guineas per cent.
New York Affected
NEW YORK, May 6—News of the
serious Illness of King Edward caused
general weakness today on the stock
exchange where declines of from one
to nearly two points were registered
throughout the list. The selling was
conducted with a view to> discounting
possible heavy selling orders in the
event of the King's death. The list
was later supported.

dominions beyond the seas, Emperor
of India, K.G., K.P., G.C.B., G.C.S.I., G.

the then Princess of Wales celebrated
their silver wedding.
KING EDWARD AS DIPLOMATIST
His Influence Powerful for Good in the Courts of
Europe—Victorian Virtues Shone Out
With Unimpaired Lustre
King Edward VII, the Peacemaker,
will be the title the future historian
will bestow upon the late monarch of
England. He inherited his mother's
distaste of war and exerted all his power and Influence to preserve the peace,
not only of his own kingdom, but of
Europe. Related to practically every
reigning household of Europe, and personally popular, he was enabled time
and again by tact and diplomacy, to
smooth over ruffled statesmen and
rulers and to assuage the feelings of
hot tempered bellgerents.
It is as a diplomatist that the late
king distinguished himself. How powerful has been his influence In the
courts of Europe will never be known.
When he ascended the throne it was
little dreamt that he would .become the
foremost diplomat op Europe. "Another
tailor king like George IV," was the
exclamation of an experienced English
statesman when Queen Victoria's death
was announced. He assumed that the
ceremonial, side of royalty would be uppermost during the new reign. He gave
the sovereign full credit for resourceful
tact, distinction of manner and social
graces, but considered him incapable of
submitting to the daily drudgery of the
examining of state papers and of exerting personal authority In home and foreign affairs. The king, as a matter of
fact, had never had an opportunity of
displaying his ability. As Prince oE
Wales he was supposed to be simply an
amicable nonentity. To him was left
the social and ceremonial side of royalty—his mother looked after serious
state matters herself. It was not very
strange then that not only the general
public, but diplomatists, had no Insight
into the personality of the king.
Tribute to Late .*lng
I. N. Ford, the New York Tribune
correspondent has the following inter*
eating character sketch of the late king,
showing the attributes he possessed,
which eminently flitted him as a diplomat:
"His character is a composite one,
-with a strong strain of hereditary
traits and with qualities developed in
the environment of a prolonged apprenticeship as heir to the throne. What
may be described as the Victorian heritage, includes absolute truthfulness, capacity for work, shrewdness of Judgment, persistency ofl purpose, hlgh-
tnlnded patriotism and consciousness of
moral obligation. These virtues were
less apparent while he was Prince of
Wales than some of his mother's minor
characteristics, such as stately elegance
of manner, kindness of heart, Intense Interest In small details of court etiquette
and a lively sense of humor. Light-
hearted and volatile In spirits, a patron
of the turf, an idolised leader of the
smart set, he took bis pleasures easily
and reveled In bright, spirited conversation nnd the luxurious recreations of
country houses. He could not be suspected of having the Indolent habits of
the Georges when he was displaying
untiring fenergy in promoting public
character and in conducting ceremonials; but his reserves of working power
were not divined until he ascended the
throne and devoted his talents to the
service ot the state. The Victorian
virtues then shone out with unimpaired
lustre, and along wdth them were qualities of his own which facilitated his
work. ■ . dJi
Some of His Qualities
"There was the precise knowledge of
detail which proved helpfiul to him when
great state functions were planned or
diplomatic policies carried out. There
were tbe resources of tact, simplicity
and bon homle which were serviceable
in the management of men at home and
abroad. There was the quickness of decision as a safeguard against procrastinating habits, suspicion of Judgment
and vacillation of will. There was the
flexibility of mind for adapting him to
circumstances and protecting him from
liarrassing controversy over minor details. There was freedom from prejudice which had left Mm on terms of
close friendship with both Gladstone
and Beaconsfleld when his mother
could not conceal her antipathies and
preferences and which was to enable
him to balance his social activities, so
impartially that he could work as readily with one prime minister as another.
To his natural trend greatness on a
high plane of action was added a special equipment from bis protracted
training in the public eye.
Secret of Hia Success
One writer has placed his success as
a diplomat to the fact that "he played
an honest game of diplomacy with the
cards on the table In plain view, and
with motives, methods and objects
frankly disclosed. His own methods
were so straightforward and his motives so sincere that frankness was a
safe resource. He wanted honest dealing among nations and a peaceable solution of every question and his opinions were as candidly depressed to foreign ambassadors as to his own mln-
ples and quite a natural, aptitude for
getting on with them. Speaking several
languages he is peculiarly qualified by
nature and by education to play the difficult role of Interpreter and peacemaker; and he has played the role not
only with great skill, but with a directness and sincerity which have won the
confidence of Europe.
EDUCATION Of .TOE
UTE MONARCH
Taught to Work by Mother. Who Abhorred Idleness—Was Good
Sportsman.
King Edward, like his mother, was
naturally very domestic. When a
youth he was brought up very strictly.
He was taught to work, for his mother
adhorred Idleness. W. T. Stead In a
personal sketch of the king, rather
thinks his parents overdid it.
When he was 13 years old he was
described by bis governess as "extremely shy and timid with very good
principles, and particularly an exact
observer of truth,"
When he was 17, Prince Metternlch
noticed that he had "an embarrassed
and sad expression."
When he was 13 he paid his first
visit to Paris and enjoyed himself immensely. He begged the Princess Eugenie to get leave from his mother for
the Princess Royal to stay a little
longer. "Oh," said the empress, "I am
sure tlie queen and the prince consort
will never be able to do without you."
"Not do without us," cried the boy,
"don't fancy that, for there are six
morei, of us at home, and they do not
want us." The queen, however, was
obdurate.
His Education.
Queen Victoria and the prince consort spared no pains to give the future
king of England the beet possible education that could be procured. How
he was crammed at the universities
was amusingly described by Punch under the title of "A Prince at High
Pressure." Here is a sample stanza:
To the  south, from north, from the
shores of the Forth,
Where at hands    Presbyterian,    pure
science is quaffed.
The Prince, in a trice, is whipped to
Isls,
Where Oxford keeps springs mediaeval
on draught,
Dipped in gray   Oxford mixture (lest
that prove a fixture),
The poor lad's to be   plunged 'in less
Orthodox Cam,
Where dynamics and statics and pure
■mathematics
Will be   piled   on his   brain's awful
cargo of cram.
King Edward as a Sportsman.
With such a nation of sportsmen as
the English,   it   is natural   that   the
king's love of the turf and of   sports,
made him peculiarly popular.
His wins of the Derby set the whole
empire cheering. The king's racing
colors consisted of a purple satin body,
.faced with gold braid: the sleeves are
scarlet, and the cap black velvet, with
gold fringe. On a racecourse they first
made their appearance on April 15,
1880, at Aldershot. The royal colors
were registered as far "back as 1875,
but it was not until June 4, 1886, that
they were really sported.
United Kingdom, the Dominions Beyond
the Seas and India. Under ancient law
it is technical treason to Imagine the
death of a monarch and they are loath
to acknowledge tbey were preparing for
the event. All the ancient gazettes,
court circulars and other papers have
been taken from the libraries, however,
tbat the officials may familiarize themselves with the ancient pageantry
whereby a sovereign is proclaimed. The
city remembrancer said today: "It will
depend on the will of the new sovereign
to dedde how far the ancient customs
shall be modified to suit modern customs, but in a country where precedents
are so firmly adhered to as In England
it may be anticipated that they shall
follow closely on the acts which prevailed when the King ascended the
throne.
The privy council, which is a very
large body will meet at St James palace
where the form of a proclamation declaring that "we," etc., "with one voice
and consent of tongue and heart declare
and proclaim the High Mighty Prince
George Frederick Ernest Albert," etc.
"who by the death of the monarch has
become our only lawful and rightful
liege," etc.
This proclamation will give tbe new
title the King may assume; but this is
not yet announced. The proclamation
will then be sent to the Herald's College and the following day the earl
marshal, the Garter-King-at-Aims, the
Herald's pursuivants and other officials
the college members, with the Household troops, will proceed from the palace, clad In their splendid surcoats and
proceed to Trafalgar Square. There
the King-at-Arms will halt, command
silence and read the proclamation. Pro.
ceedlng down the Strand to Temple Bar
another halt will be made to demand
an entrance Into the city to proclaim
the King. There the lord mayor and
sheriffs in their state carriages will
form a great. procession and when the
Earl Marshal's party comes just within
the dty boundary the proclamation will
be read again, and the procession will
pass down Ludgate Hill and Cheapslde
to the Royal Exchange, where similar
ceremonies will close the spectacle.

Tribute to King Edward
The New York OuHooll paid the following tribute to King Edward as a
diplomat:
"tew men have risen more rapidly
in public contidenos and Influence than
King Edward. He has long been knonvtn
as a very accomplished and agreeable
man, with a gift of tact which amounted
to genius, but during tbe past three or
four years he has secured a foremost
position as a diplomatist. His services
to Europe have been signally successful and important, for he has everywhere appeared as a peacemaker; a
man of extraordinary social experience,
with a wide knowledge of different peo-
HOW THE KING TRAVELS
Does    Not Travel    on    Paseea—Companies Reserve Trains for
Royal Use.
How does the king travel? The
British monarch does not even travel
on passes as the law-makers of Canada. He pays hia way like ordinary
mortals, though on a slightly different plan. The treasurer of the royal
household settles with the railway
companies, the bill including a regular
first class fare for each member ot
the king's party and an additional
charge of one shilling for every mile
travelled by the train. ,
Each Railway Hat Royal Train.
Each ot the leading British railroads has a train which it reserves
for the king's use. One of the newest
and best was built by the London &
Northwestern, the foremost of English lines. The two royal coaches—one
of which was King Edward's and
the other Queen Alexandra's—are
painted dark green up to the window
ledges and white above that point.
They are distinguished from other
special cars by the armorial bearings
of British royalty.
Another magnificent train was recently built by the three railway corporations. Great Northern, North
Eastern and North British, controlling
the east coast route between London
and Scotland. Hitherto the London
and Northwestern train has been utilized, but now the east coast companies are in possession of their own
train.
Queen Alexandra's saloon was constructed at the York Carriage works
of the North Eastern Railway Co.,
while his majesty's carriage was constructed at the Great Northern works
at Doncaster.
King Edward's saloon Is sixty-seven
feet in length in the body, nine feet
wide and twelve feet eleven Inches
high from rail level to top of roof. It
Is constructed of .teak, with a steel
underframe, and Is carried ontwo six-
wheeled bogles. Inside it Is luxuriously fitted up.

The SeawanaaJia cap defender now
building at Manchester from designs ol
B A. Boardman for the detenoe by tho
Manchester Tacit club of the Seawall-
natal oup. against the Canadians this
coming July, will be christened tho Massachusetts at the launchroe which will
talte place about the end of May with
the Tegular ceremonies. She is now
fast nearlne completion and May will
see her ready for her first coat of paint
The David Penton company is building the huU and it was this concern
which built the successful chalelngei
Manchester In 1905. the first representative of the United States to win the
cup in nine years' steady racing. Cous-
ens and Pratt, who made the sails for
the Manchester then, will make them
for the present defender. Plgeou Bros,
or East Boston will build the hollow
spars and Merriman Bros, of South Boston will make the special equipment ot
blocks, etc.
The boat is belnit built by subscription by the members of the Manchester
Yacht club and will be under the control ot the Seawanhaka cup committee
or the club. The committee has already chosen the-gentlemen who will
crew the boat. Tbey are E. A. Board-
man ot Boston and Manchester; John
L. Salstonstpu of Beverley, and R.
DeB. Boardman of Boston.
The men are all expert amateur sailors, having heen interested In the sport
for many years. The boat will be distinctly a Bay State product, having
been designed, built, handled and owned by Massachusetts men.
It Is unfortunate that there will he
no trial horse for this defender, ibut as
there is no class for this type here,
and they are to say the least expensive, naturally few people care to build
one. This boat is to be tried against
■the fastest craft in the bay during June
and July in the hope that she will be
able to receive the necessary tuning up
The Canadians will live at Marble-
head during their stay in the states as
that Is the best location to give their
boats the necessary trying out.
The race is scheduled for July 25 oft
House Island,. Manchester.
The Canadian Challenger
The work on the Canadian challenger
Is progresslns; very nicely and the officials expect that the new boat will
be launched about May 24. The hull
is nearly complete and It will not take
long to complete the other parts.
The St Lawrence Yacht club has not
only the Thorella, probably the speediest boat which haB ever regularly sailed
the lake waters but the Alexandra has
been bought toy an enthusiastic yachtsman, L. Sherwood, and will probably
be available for the purpose of extending the challenger should her services
be required,

English Champions

Who Invented Baseball
Baseball, under that name, had its
beginning at Cooperstown, N.Y. In 1839,
although afterwards the name was
changed, the game being called the
"Ne.w York game" with the "Massachusetts game" following later, the rules
being somewhat different Before tlie
invention of buseball the English game
of "rounders" and "town ball" and
"three hole cat" had been played in
America with balls, bats and bases.
In 1839 a West Point cadet named
Doubleday, appointed from Coopers-
town, and probably at home on furlough
Invented the game, Doubleday afterwards was a bright general in the army
and famous as a mathematician. He
organized a team of seven boys to play
the game, first against two batters and
then against any number of batters
present and not engaged in fielding.
Later lie placed nine men on a side assigned their positions and played games.
As to whether Cadet Doubleday introduced the game into West Point upon
his return to the'academy, there is
much dispute. It is said by several
army veterans that the class of 1841
played a game against another class
team, but this has been denied.
Alexander J. Cartwrlght of New
York proposed a similar game in 1845
mathematically calculated the distance
between bases, and singularly adopted
00 feet as the correct distance, exactly
aa Doubleday bad done. The wisdom
of the mathematical calculations of tbe
pioneers is vouched for today by the
experts. Cartwrlght wrote rules for
his game and organized a club, first
trying seven members and then nine.
Called It 'New York Game"
Baseball under the name of "New
York game" became popular at once
and was played widely throughout the
eastern states, the rules, however, varying in almost every state, so that it was
difficult to arrange matches. Each team
was forced to concede some rules to the
other and lengthy conferences preceded interstate matches before the
roles could be agreed upon. In some
towns 21 "acres" (or as iwe call them
runs) constituted a game. In others,
especially where cricket had been played 100 rounds or tallies, constituted a
game and frequently .many days were
required to complete a match.
The Knickerbocker club ot New York
framed a complete code of rules in
1846, the basic principles laid down In
the rules being the same as those now
prevailing. The rules placed bases 42
paces apart and 21 acres constituted a
game.   The new game had taken well
In Brooklyn, which was the centre of
the athletic aotivity and the Knickerbocker rules prevailed among tho Brooklyn clubs. The Hudson river'.' towns
and citieB adopted the game and accepted the rules. It was played entirely by
amateurs and while called baseball in
some places It continued to bo called
the New York game or "New York',' until it was introduced into Boston by the
Trl-Mountaln team In 1858.
Boston having been a cricketing center, objected to the New York rules
and changing them, played the Massachusetts game, In which 100 runs constituted a game. Jhe record of games
played in Boston and Cambridge show
that sometimes five days were required
to complete a match.
organize and Amend Rules
With the organization of the National
BnseUall association In 1S58. tile game
begani lo approach uniformity. Tho
rules were amended and modified and
baseball quickly succeeded cricket as
tlie popular sport. Prom the first local
patriotism Played an Important part
in the sport. Matches played for as
high as JJ1000 a side were frequent.
Brawls and clashes between partisans
crowds and assaults upon umpires are
recorded even in those days.
Race in English Soccer
One of the greatest surprises in English football circles this year is the success of Barnslev in the cup competition. Never before in tie history ot
the game, has a league team which has
never been identified with the first dl-
vision in their history, had the proud
privilege of appearing In the last match
for the English cup.
It is the unique distinction which
Barnsley should cherish because the
club has never ranked higher than
seventh in its class. They were admitted into the second division in 1898 and
finished 11th. The year they reached tbe
7th place was In 1905.
Record of Team
Every one of the team Is English and
these lads, tew of whom are known far
from Barnsley, have beaten Blackpool
4-0, after a 1-1 draw, Bristol Rovers 4-0
West Bromwlch Albion 1-0, Queens
Park Rangers 1-0, and Everton 3-0, after a "oalless draw, in all 16 goals to
1, this solitary goal being scored by
Blackpool in the first round.
Situated In only a working class district, Barnsley is by no means a rich
club and have been frequently obliged
to transfer players to keep their balance sheet healthy and as a fact, not
one of the men who have carried the
team so far this year, Is in receipt of
the maximum wage.
They have been noted for their faculty to discover rough diamonds and to
polish them Into gems with perfect
lustre, some of the most noted players
in the country having passed through
their hands.
Newcastle United Noted
Newcastle United are too well known
to need much distinction and the question in everybody's mouth Is whether
they will achieve their hearts' desire
after having their hopes dashed at the
Palace so many times before.
Brighton and Hove Albion are at the
head of the Southern league, their only
challengers being Queen's Park Rangers and Swindon Town.
The latter team after their phenomenal career In the cup competition
are now at liberty to devote their energies in the league and may be sure to
make a bold bid for honors.
Teams that fall out ot the first division of the league into the second find
it harder every year to fight for promotion and as a matter of faot play is
far more strenuous in the second division than In the higher ranks. At
tlie present time there are nine teams
in the second division which once were
In the stellar region.
PRESS MESSAGES
WITHOUT WIRES
Says DeForest at Calgary Where he Is
Building Station to Connect
With Winnipeg
The DeForest Wireless Telegraphy
company i8 erecting stations at Winnipeg and Calgary connecting with the
eastern Canadian and American system of stations, From Calgary it is
hoped messages may be sent to Vancouver, though the mountains may interfere.
Speaking in Calgary Mr . DeForest
said that a new departure In the wire-
leas telegraphy apparatus had been invented during the past 18 months. A
new way of creating the ether waves
which form the medium of transmission
has been discovered and by this means
the efficiency of the apparatus has been
increased from about 15 per cent to
about 76 per cent, thus giving power
to transmit messages a far greater distance.
The new departure enables the distance between points of communication
to be increased about three or four
times that nossible when the spark system of producing the ether waves was
In use. It has also prevented interference and thus overland communication
hag become quite practicable.
Ideal fop Press Service
"The (Wireless telegraph service must
be a long distance service," declared
Dr. DeForest.
With reference to the field of usefulness which the wireless telegraph
systems will enjoy on land the speaker
declared that It will become the great
system for the promulgation of news
dispatches.
"I believe that before ten years almost all ot the Associated Proas dispatches will 'be sent bv wireless," predicted Dr. DeForest, who continued:
"It -costs no more to send a wireless
messags to one hundred stations than
It does to one and this circular distribution of messages makes wireless tele-

People who have heard Phonographs talked about, or

This is partly due to the wonderful sapphire point which

Dr. DeForest drew In mental plctury
a wireless system embracing stations at
all the larger centres throughout the
United States and Canada and showed
how a message of a news dispatch could
be flashed simultaneously to all the
centers in the country from one key
of the wireless operator In the city
where the news was created.
The Wireless Telephone
"In 1906 the transmission of the human voice by means of waves created
in the tether became a possibility^
said Dr. DeForest.
As explained by the speaker the underlying principle of both, wireless telephony and telegraphy is the same, that
of the effect of waves in the ether
created at one point upon the sensitive
receiving instrument at the other end.
In wireless telegraphy each sparlt
causes a wave and each wave is recorded in dots and dashes by the receiving
instrument.
In wireless telephony It is, however,
necessary to keep up a continuous
series or waves In rapid succession and
t0 so Inflect and modify this vibration
so that the receiver will record the
vigrations.
Such a contrivance bad now been
perfected to such an extent that the
Ihumon voice could be transmitted for
many miles.
"It Is astonishing to one who has
never heard It to bear the timbre of
an instrument or the modulation of the
human voice carried to them from many
miles distant. With such accuracy does
the instrument convey the sounds that
the voice of a friend can he distinctly
recognized," said the speaker.
In 1907 26 of the battleships of the
American fleet had been equipped with
wireless instruments -which were only
guaranteed to convey messages for r
distance of some five miles. Before
the American fleet had its trip around
the Pacific coast these Instruments had
been so perfected that vocal messages

could he sent for a far greater distance.
Th© great problem which has confronted thase who were manufacturing
wireless instruments for telegraphy
and telephony had been to simplify the
apparatus so that any person and not
necessarily an expert could operate It.
Great strides have been made In this
regard, however, and now It has become possible to operate the instruments so aa to transmit the human
voice clearly for 100 miles.
Dr. DeForest told of a remarkable
experience he had with the wireless
telephone. He had been giving demonstrations for the benefit of the French
government and had ibeen using a pole
or tower about 1000 feet high, In whjch
case he could communicate with a naval
station fully 550 miles awgy.
"I would not be at all surprised If it
is possible to communicate by wireless
telephone between points 600 to MO
miles distant," he said.
Dr. DeForeBt when speaking of wireless telephony stated that there was a
possibility that Calgary might get a
wireless telephone station also.

"FRUIT - A - TIYES"—
THE FAMOUS FRUIT MEDICINE
Performs Another Miraculous Cure
in the City of Toronto.
Mrs. Lizzie Baxter was a helpless cripple from Rheumatism. She suffered tortures for a
year in spite of the best medical treatment. Fine boxes of "Fruit-a-ti.es"
completely cured her.
4 Hom* Place, Toronto, Ont., December 15th, 1909.
"I was a terrible sufferer from Rheumatism for nearly a year, and my right arm was swollen and the pain was
fearful. All down the right side, the pain was dreadful and I could hardly move for the agony. X was treated by two
physicians but their medicine did me no good, audltried numerous other remedies but received 110 benefit.   Iwas simply
a helpless cripple and suffered from Rheumatism all during
last winter.
I saw "Fruit-a-tives" advertised in the "Telegram" and
decided to try this remedy. After I had taken one box, I was
much better and the pain much less, and I continued the
treatment with good hopes. When I had taken three boxes, I
was so well tbat I could use my arm again and the pain was
practically gone, and after I had taken five boxes, I was
entirely well again—no pain—no suffering—and now T am
just as well as X ever was
The cure of my case by "Fruit-a-tives" was Indeed
splendid because all the doctors failed to even relieve me of
my suffering.
For the sake of others who may suffer from this terrible
disease, Rheumatism, I voluntarily give you permission to
publish this statement."
MRS. LIZZIE BAXTER.
It maybe stated, without hesitation, that "Fruit-a-tivesw
Is the only remedy that will actually cure Rheumatism,
Sciatica and Lumbago. "Fruit-a-tives" is made from fruit
juices, and contains Saucinb obtained from Oranges. Owing
to its marvellous action on the bowels, kidneys and skin—
"Fruit-a-tives" prevents the formation of Uric Acid, which is
the prime cause of Rheumatism. And with the stomach clean,
the liver active, the bowels regular, the kidneys strong and the
•kin healthy, it is utterly impossible to have Rheumatism.
"Fruit-a-tives" is the only medicine in the world that acts
directly on all these organs and cures them. There is no
MRS.   LIZZIE BAXTER other remedy "just the same" as "Fruit-a-tives" or "just as
good as Fruit-a-tives'* Insist on having "Fruit-a-tives" for
only by taking "Fruit-a-tives" can you cure yourself of Rheumatism. At all dealers, 50c. a box, 6 for $2.50, or trial
box 35c. or sent postpaid on receipt of price by Fruit-a-tivefl Limited, Ottawa. The original of Mrs. Baxter's letter—as

erauerul in tne heat of the iiaicu sun,
with here and there brilliant blossoms
glauming, crimson, yellow and mauve. Be-
mnd tne trees can he caug.it glimpses of
cooi verandaed houses, lying back in their
gardens. About the middle glistens the
palace of the governor-general, with the
flags of Britain and; J^gypt floating from
its roof. Out of the ruins of Gordon s
house this imposing emblem of BrltlBh dominion has sprung. It is not beautiful,
but it stands there, clean and solid and
four-square, lit emblem of tho work
Britain has done and is doing In the Sou-
don—tidying up and cleaning and straightening out, writes H. Hamilton Fife to the
Daily Mail from Khartoum,
Same day Khartoum will be the garden
city of Africa, at has been laid out with
that view. Just now the Immensely wide
streets are bordered only by small trees,
which make the hot, dusty expanses of
roadway aeem dustier and hotter or mocking the wayfarers, aa if a thirsty man
would have a thimbleful of water handed
to him. But growth Is rapid here, Before
many years are passed these saplings
wilt spread their leafage wide, and everywhere one will walk 'beneath a cool canopy
of whispering leaves.
Nobody Walks.
At present nobody walks, the first morning I waa here I made a great mistake. I
went out for a stroll around to get an
Idea of the town. Frankly, I thought It
was a detestable place.   "There Is about
enough here," 1 said, "to make a decent-
sized village, and they have spread it over
an area big enough for the site of a city."
It was very hot. It was also windy. Dust
lay thick all over except In the very middle
of the road. I saw no white peopie about.
1 came back to the hotel sick and tired,
and la a bad temper. ,
But after a cool drlng and a welcome
rest in a lounge chair on the balcony
looking over the river and over the great
stretch of desert bounded by fascinating
far-off hills, 1 reflected and began to
understand. In this dry atmosphere thirst
becomes a habit, and it is necessary to
drink often of lime juice, or lemonade, or
very llgnt beer. As I cooled on* I became
more reasonable. I noticed the gathering of donkeys and of rickshaws
drawn by some small pomes near the
gate of the hotel on the river's, edge,
Everybody who went out took one or the
other. Since then I have done likewise,
and I have no further complaints. There
Is one walk, and a very pleasant one, left-
handed along the river toward the point
where tbe Blue and "White NHes meet,
keeping each Its distinctive color for many,
miles down, and whence the steam ferry
piles to Omdurman on the further bank.
But no ono would dream of walking even
here under the palm- trees until the sun
has dropped low. Hides In the early morning freshness over the desert sand and
lawn tennis as soon as the sbadows began to lengthen—that is how we take our
exercise in Khartoum.
The distances would really *>e difficult,
even if the roads were not so dusty and
hot. Tou are told that some place you
want to get to is "at the end of tlie
street." This means at least a mile, and
sometimes nearly two. Yet the bulIdlnRB
are scattered only here and there. There
Is but one good European shop. There
are bits of pavements In places, but for
the most part roadway and sidewalk have
not yet been separated. Consequently one
has the sense of wandering about a stm-
urb which Is still In the builders' hands
and only just ibeglnnlng to be occupied.
Well, for '{suburb," read "city," and that
l« perfectly true of Khartoum. It has been
planned with an eye to the future.
"Some day,"  they said  to  themselves,
step into a railway car at 'Khartoum,
from that again you board another car
and are set down in the heart of this
once-terrible Omdurman. Even In what is
still   a   complete!"  native' rabbit  warren

process on every side.   "Police ,.Post"j

shade from tlie burning sun, or down by
the river, where the export trade in gum
and grain Is busy, Omdurman seems to be
still having a sigh of relief. The people
are cheerful, but there Is a shade of apprehension ■ in their faces yet. And here,
far more than In Khartoum, with its
English gardens and English faces, you
realize why.
There are some who think our work
may one day be done in Egypt and the
Egyptians capable of walking alone In the
way of honest, firm government without
fear or favor. But In the Soudan, whatever may happen In Egypt, Britain has
taken up the white man's burden for
good.

men and Irishmen, not forgetting Welshmen, "some day mils vast country will,
instead of being mostly desert, be covered
with wheat fields and coiton fields. Work
and water will turn the barren sand Into
one of the great producing countries of
the world. In that day Khartoum will no
longer be the head place of a province
which is still looked upon as the Cinderella
of the British empire and treated accordingly.
It will be the capital of a rich and
powerful dominion. Whether It will be
fitted to play this part of the world drama,
and set an example to other capitals, depends upon us," stild these Britons; filled
with a great hope and pride; and they
mapped out of the place accordingly.
Even in the native town, away back
from the river, there Is order and design.
Passing through the vast open apace of
Abboa square, which will in time rank as
one of the finest in tlte world, you come
to the markets, rows and rows of straw

a complete contrast go over to Omdurman.
Eleven years ago this -was rfllll the Dervish
capital, the residence of the Paine Prophet,
who made Ms power felt over nearly half
Africa. It was a slave-trading centre, a
vast prison, where every man felt himself
a cantlve and knew that a turn of Fortune's wheel might at any time number
him among the victims who were hanged
on blirh gallows In the market place every
Friday to strike the Khalifa's terror home
to every heart. It was also a rant herem.
Where women raided from tribes were
herded together to Rive the fanatical Bag-
gara a foretaste of their bestial paradise.
What British  Have Accomplished.
Eleven years ago It was death or captivity, almost worse Mian death to any
white man found In the Khalifa's sphere
of murder, robbery and rape.  Today you
More    Than    Three    Hundred    Have
Dropped Out of Sight In History
ot Nebraska
More than, 300 towns in Nebraska
have disappeared from the map In the
60 years covering the history of settlement In that state. Perhaps 50 more
exist only as railroad whistling posts
of straggling groups of houses.
Half a dozen or more have dropped
Into the Missouri river through changes
In the channel of that whimsical river.
Others were the victims of hard luck
the failure to get a honed for railroad'
or the loss of a county seat, and still
others existed only as a means of separating easterners t;rom their money.
In 1855 when the first territorial legislature met, it passed an act locating
several county seats. Among them was
Archer, county seat of Richardson
county, today one of the richest in the
state. Among Its earliest settlers were
a party of French adventurers.
They liked the land and settling down
married Indian squaws and raised numerous families. Curiously enough it
was this fact that wiped Archer off
the map. When the government put
into effect the reservation method of
dealing with the Indian's of the western
prairies it found itself confronted with
a problem arising out of the presence
of so many French halfbreeds. As a
solution of it the commissioners decided to set aside a special reservation
In Richardson county for these families.
Vv^en tbe survey was made it was
found that tbe town of Archer was included in the reservation. Manifestly
the whites would not live in a reservation town, or retain it as a county seat
and although Archer men sought to
have the government change its lines,
they were unsuccessful and within a
few months there was nothing left of
the town.
First Site of University
Fort Calhoun, the site of the Lewis
and Clark treaty with the Indians in
1804 was in the early CO's a town of
1200 persons, due in part to the proximity of the military post. It was then
the county seat of Washington county
and a strong contender for choice as
the capital when the territory ibecame
a state. Nebraska university also was
.founded there.
The army post was abandoned, the
capital was located elsewhere, the railroads passed hy, It dwindled into a
mere hamlet and the university closed
Its doors, Its prosperity lasted seven
years.
Fontelle, another Washington county
iown, now a hamlet, had a college- once,
did much trading with the Indians and
freighters and was the county seat of
Dodge county. The politicians changed
the county lines at a legislative session
when Fonteneile was not looking and
threw it Into Washington county, which
caused It to be overshadowed and soon
killed.
Bellevue and Florence, both located
near Omaha, the one south and the
other north, along the Missouri, were
each at one time much larger than
Omaha. Florence once had 5000 Inhabitants, now it has fewer than 600.
It was the winter quarters of a vast
fcody of Mormons, who camped there
while on their way to Utah In the late
40's and early 50's. Later it was the
westernmost point of heavy immigration
For a time It wag doubtful whether
Omaha or Florence would win In the
'race between the two cities, but when
'the scales turned in favor of Omaha
by favor of the Union Pacific railroad,
Florence became almost a deserted village.
In 1882 there were fewer than 200 inhabitants, but the extension of Omaha
has made it a suburb of that city and
It is again growing, because Omaha,
its ancient rival, is spreading in that
direction. Bellevue was the first territorial capital, but now has less than
100 population.
• Victims of the Missouri
Omandl, one of the populous towns
of territorial days, woe located on the
Missouri river, almost opposite the present town of Sioux Falls, Iowa, The Mis*
souri river changed its course one night
and the townspeople woke the next
morning to find the swift current rapidly undermining the town. They moved
their houses out to farms on the uplands or abandoned them. Within a
year the river had complete possession
of the townslte.
Decatur, Burt county, was another
victim of the river. It was once seriously considered as the point of crossing of the Union Paclflo railway, but
the Missouri showed signs of eating up
■the townslte and Omaha was chosen
Instead. Most of the town lots hjave
dropped off Into the stream.
Logan Is another Dakota county town
that was wiped out by the Missouri
river. It was a prosperous town In the
late 60's but within five years after
the river headed In its direction every*
(body had left and practically all the
buildings bad dropped into the stream.

T-ree other towns, located, at advantageous fording places on the river and
of pioneer importance, were chased by
the river out of the bottom lands on
to the bluffs, and the transplanting
proved fatal in each Instance.
Two large parties of immigrants came
Into the state In 1856, one from Missouri, composed of Democrats, and the
other from Iowa made up of Republicans. They located within 20 miles of
each other in northern Nebraska, the
democrats calling their town Buchanan
and the Republicans naming theirs Fremont, after their candidates for president. Freemont Is now a flourishing
city of 15,000 today, while Buchanan
disappeared from the map, crushed out
by competition 30 years ago.
HISTORY Of THE
 INCOME TAX
Dates From Henry VII.—Stood at Twopence in 1874—Rose to 1s3d
During Boer War.
Tbe Idea of imposing on Income tax
really stands to the credit of Henry
VII., who in 1507 levied a system of
"benevolence" on his wealthy subjects
and approached Cardinal Morton to
carry out his ingenious plan. "Morton's fork" was on instrument well
known to the wealthy of that time. If
a subject lived in style the crafty cardinal would inform him that he was
obviously wealthy, and could afford to
contribute to the king's purse. If, on
the other hand, a subject lived frugally, the cardinal would argue that
be was obviously laying up treasure,
and was, therefore, In a position to
disgorge at tbe bidding of royalty. By
this playful little system Henry VII
managed to amass a comfortable fortune of about £14,000,000. However,
tbe zealous cardinal did not benefit
much thereby, for when Henry -VIII
came to the throno he was promptly
put in prison.
But William Pitt is realty entitled
to the credit of instituting the income
tax proper, which he did in 1798, in
order to defray the expenses of the
war with France. This tax was repealed In 1802, but the following year
a property tax was imposed, to be
abandoned in 1816, after Napoleon
had been overthrown and peace restored. For twenty-six blessed years
England was free from an income tax,
but then Sir Robert Peel felt compelled to make use of It again in 1842
and he commenced with the healthy
Bum of sevenpence. For several years
the income tax never rose higher than
elghtpence, and in 1853 it was generally extended to Ireland. The following
year the tax jumped up to one shilling
and twopence, owing to the Crimean
war, and it still further advanced to
one shilling and fourpence, but during
the Indian mutiny only flvepence was
demanded. When Mr. Gladstone became chancellor of the exchequer he
devoted special attention to the income
tax. In 1861, when it stood at nine-
pence he pointed out that Its existence
depended entirely on the expenditure.
If the national outlay was restricted to
sixty millions the tax would be abolished, but If the outlay reached, seventy
millions it must be retained. In view
of tbe fact that our national outlay is
now considerably over one hundred and
sixty millions, the prospects of ever abolishing the tax look particularly remote. In 1863 Mr. Gladstone reduced the tax from ntnepence to seven-
pence, and also attempted to abolish
tbe exemption pertaining to charitable endowments and corporate trusts.
He found,. however, he had raised a
hornet's nest about his ears, for a
most imposing deputation at once
waited upon him, and he was forced
to allow the exemption to remain.
In 1874, when the Income tax stood
at twopence, the lowest price on record. Mr. Gladstone mapped out a
great budget, the salient feature of
which was the total abolititon of the
income tax, In place of which he intended substituting death duties.
Though at the general election he
made tbe abolition of the Income tax
the feature of bis campaign, he suffered defeat, and the Income tax survived, never to be threatened again
It had always been Mr. Gladstone's
ambition to abolish this unpopular
burden, Trouble in Turkey, an entanglement In Egypt, and a campaign
In the Soudan all helped to Increase
the national debt, and caused the.in*

come tax to rise, At length In 1885 the
hundred million budget was brought
forward by Mr. Chllders. The figures
were then considered appalling, and
Mr. Chllders, who was faced by a deficit of fifteen millions, promptly raised the income tax from sixpence to
elghtpence. Mr. Goschen managed to
Improve matters, and In 1889 he got
It down to sixpence, beyond which sum
he affirmed It should not rise, For the
first tune on record the tax yielded the
satisfactory sum ol two millions sterling for every penny imposed. Unfortunately the sixpenny days did nor last
long, and the budget of 1894 brought
the income tax up to elghtpence. Sir
William Harcourt was faced with a
deficit of over two 'millions, and in
addition to utilizing the Income tax he
adopted Mr. Gladstone's idea as regards the necessary 'revenue. In 1902
the. South African war caused the tax
to reach the formidable figure of one
shilling and threepence,   though   the
following year It was reduced to elevenpence, to return the year after to a
shilling. What it Is at present every
taxpayer knows, and what Is will be
in the ufture Is a secret which the chancellor of the exchequer has safely locked away In lhs bosom.—T. P.'s Weekly.

No one can foresee the future of aerial
navigation. Apparently nothing seems mi-
puasiiuie in this inventive age.
Paulfaah ia the man who recently visited
the United States and broke the world's
record for height ut Iah Angeles. He is
one of the youngest, It not tne youngest,
of the leading aviators, being only ft
years of age.
It was 1'audhan who participated In the
great contest at Ilhelnis last August and
established a world's record for distance
by covering: S3 miles- and remaining up
'A hours and « minutes, at 4-5 seconus.
He waa born at Pezenas, in the Herault,
and after a professional training at Toulon he sailed with the Messagerles Marl-
times steamers In the China seas.
His interest In aviation was first awakened through having served in the Aeronautic Brigade of the Engineers.
It is not generally known thatthefamous
aviator owns a toy shopi of which almost
ail the toys aro of his own invention.
From his earliest days he seems to have
had the gift of Invention and as a boy
at school was looked upon as a genius
on account his dexterity in making boats,
engines, and other toys which all school
boys delight in. ■ ■ ,
The pioneers in aviation were Orvillo
and Wilbur Wright of Ohio. On Dec. 9,
1903, they flew Ko2 feet with their first
motor driven aeroplane. On Bept 36, 1W5,
they travelled 11.13 miles in 18 minutes,
while on Oct. 6 of the same year, the
Wrights flew 3* miles In 38 minutes.
Indefinite reports of their achievements
spread over the world, but no successful
efforts of flight wore heard of until one
year inter. -
r On Oct. 8, 1006, Santos-Dumona flew 10
feet In Biplane No. 1, and on Nov. 13
travelled 723 feet. ■    ■'
LoulB Blerlot flew 100 feet In a monoplane on July 11, 19W.
On Oct. 16 of the same year Henry Par-
man flew flew 935 feet In a Volsln machine,
and on Oct. 26 ho flew 2,530 feet, or little
less than half a mile. In July of 1908 he
flew 13.24 miles and in September he made
24 miles in 42 minutes, being tho first man
after three years, to equal the 24-mile
flight of tho Wrights.
On Sent, m, 1908. Wilbur Wright, at An-
vours, flew 61 miles In 1 hour and at
minutes, and has since continued to pile
up records at a startling rate.
Blerlot, who flow across the English
channel, is recognized as the world's most
daring aviator. He has met with over 60
accidents while engaged In flying. He Is
37 years of age.
Latham, the first monoplanlst to ascend
with passengers, has evinced a great Interest to all forms of sport. He Is en
ardent motorist and golfer and lias hunted
the rhinoceros in Africa.
Henry Farman, who made a fine showing at Rhclms, Is the Bon of a well-known
journalist, and like Latham is a sport
devotee of the first order. Glen Curtlss
'Is another who has attained prominence
in  aviation,   particularly at Rheims.
Then there Is Count Zeppelin, of Germany, who 'has perfected the dirigible
balloon and has travelled great distances,
even with several passengers.

THE   CALL   OF   THE   MOTORBOAT.
(By Winnie G.  Ferguson.)
O listen to the calling of the siraen motor*
bnat,
When  her hall comes loud  and thrilling
from the motor's gaBsy throat;
When above the quick exnloston, sounds
a whistle's warning note,
And the motor's chugging on.
CHORUS
Chug, chug, chug, the call Is sounding.
Chug, chug, chug, the call is sounding.
Chug—the merry   call  is  sounding.
Leave   care  and   come   with   ine.
Soft her calling in the springtime, when
all life is fresh and fair;
Sweet her calling in the summer through
the  sunshine's  ruddy glare;
Loud and clear her call In autumn when
the frost Is in the air,
And   the  motor's  chiigtrtng  on.
 _..._.. Chorus..	
Polish up tho brass and woodwork; shine
tho cabin windows clean-
Fill the tanks to fullest measure with old
John D's gasoline.
Prime the oil-cups,  brush  the spark-plugs
for  your  loyal   river  queen,
Whose   motor's  chugging  on.
Chorus.
Oh, there's nothing half so jolly when Ihfi
spray  Is dashing high,
And  the sky is blue  Above you, and your
sweetheart's standing by!
Shift the helm to port or starboard; faster,
faster let her fly!
The motor's chugging on.
Chorus.     **■

PREDICTS   EXPANSION
IN   KOOTENAY   MINING
The Vattconver News-Advertiser, published by Hon. F, Carter-Cotton, says editorially;
"We also look for a great expansion In
the Industry In the Boundary and Kootenay districts during the next few years.
One factor which Is of great importance
In making such development possible is
the great strides that have been made in
the smelting industry with a view to a,
reduction in the cost of smelting. In tho
course of his address Mr. Kiddie gave
some concrete instances of what had been
accomplished in that direction. In one instance ore which a few years ago yielded
one dollar per ton profit to the mineowner,
now gave hlui a proilt of $8.50 per ton,
with a corresponding gain to the miner.
The effect of these economies will bo
readily realized. Ores which a few years
ago would nut pay to mine, or which could
only be handled after being concentrated
at considerable expense, can now be marketed with satisfactory results to the
mineowner. Nor is there reason to think
that the best results have yet been attained. Mr. Kiddie speaks of the year
3SW, when a recovery of iiO per cent of the
Value in the ore was all that could be
obtained. Today, by means of improved
methods an average of SO per cent can bo
obtained or GO per cent more than what
was possible 39 years ago. That implies
great addition to the realizable wealth
our mineral!*:, with all the Indirect
benefits that will accure to the province
from the expansion of the mining Industry
made possible by these improvements hi
metallurgical processes.
Zinc Ores.
"There Is another field which seems tft
offer great possibilities by cultivation. That
Is the treatment of onr zinc ores. in.
the past the ores in which zinc is found
have realized a lower price on account of
tho zinc. Now there is a prosnect. that not
only will this charge be dune away with,
but that the mineowner will receive payment for the zinc.
John D. Rockefeller would go broke if
he should spend his entire Income trying

Town and Mill Are Out of Danger-
Government Agent Teetrel
Brings Relief.
Thursday night there was little sleep
in Salmo. The brilliant spectacle of a
forest fire Just across the north fork
and within a few hundred yards ot the
town kept awake those who were not
engaged in fighting the fire or In
watching that it should not cross the
stream. Fortunately the wind which
Jiad brought the fire veered around
and drove it back. Prom latest advloes
It la not completely extinguished, but is
not likely to become a cause of further
loss unless a high wind should come
up.
The Loss.
The Iobs is said to be principally due
to the burning of standing timber suit-

burned and tlie shingle company state
that a quantity of shingle bolts and
fence poles bave been destroyed. Estimates of tlie total loss vary from $3000
upwards.
Fire Ran in Dry Slashing.
Tlie fire at Salmo has swept over
several square miles on the opposite
side of tlie North Pork from the town.
Nearly all of tlie burnt area had been
cut over by tlie shingle company, and
was scattered with the piles of sloshing that had been left. A good deal of
the lighter timber was still standing
and in some places the removal of the
larger trees had not been completed.
Tbe spread of the fire Is due to the
presence of the dry piles of slashing.
In the uncut timber areas It did not
run, and even where It entered' such
timber it presently died out.
Course Taken by Flames.
It is said tbat a fire originated near
little Sheep creek last week and after
running a lew days was supposed to
have died out. Revived by higher
winds it swept toward Salmo. The
grass being green and there being no
dry slashing on tbe ground the sparks
carried across the river toward the
town were easily extinguished. Presently, too, the wind veered and led
the fire In another direction.
Aid From Nelson.
In response to an urgent telegram
W. P. Teetzel, government agent,
gathered and brought out some twenty
men, all that were available, on yes-
Iterday morning's train. They afforded a welcome relief to those who had
been working under C F. Archibald,
manager, and F. H, McCasllne, foreman of the Shingle company, for 18
or 24 hours without sleep. A request
for aid was sent to Trail, also, but
the men there had their hands full
with a fire of their own at Murphy's
creek.
Under Control.
Of the fire there were three branches
one just across the North Fork from
the town, another about a mile further back "toward the opposite side of
tho valley, and one near the point of
origin in the vicinity of little Sheep
creek. At B o'clock yesterday afternoon, all three though not extinguished, appeared to be under control, and
tbe government agent returned to the
city, the men being left over for anther day in charge of government foreman Serson.
