His first official act\nwas to dispatch to the lord mayor the\n'announcement of ihis (father's death,\nIn pursuance of custom. His telegram\nread:\n\"I am deeply grieved to inform you\nthat my beloved father the king, passed away peacefully at 11:45 tonight.\n(Sgd.)George.\".\nPhysicians' Bulletin.\nThe physicians soon afterwards issued their official bulletin which was\n\u00bb3 follows:\n\"May 6. 11:50 p. m. His Majesty the\nking, breathed his last at 11:45 tonight in the presence of her majesty\nQueen Alexandra, the Prince and\nPrincess of Wales, the Princess Royal,\nthe Duchess of Fife, Princess Victoria\nand the Duchess of Argyle. (Sgd.)\nLaking, Reid, Powell- and Dawson.\"\nPneumonia Following Bronchitis.\n\"Pneumonia following bronchitis is\n'believed to have been the cause of\ndeath, hut the doctors thus far bave\nrefused to make a statement. Some\nof the. king's friends are convinced,\nthat woryr over the critical political\nsituation which confronted him, with\nsleepless nights, aggravated, if it did\nnot cause, the fatal illness. Besides\ntbe nearest relatives in England, the\nDuke of Fife, and the Archbishop of\nCanterbury, were In the death chamber. The king's brother, the Duke of\nConnaught, with his family, is at Suez\nhastening home from Africa. The\nking's daughter, Queen Maude of Norway will Btart for England tomorrow.\nNews Was Expected.\nThe Intelligence that the end of King\nEdward's reign had come, was not a\nsurprise at the last. The people bad\nbeen expecting It any hour since ithe\nevening bulletin was posted at Buckingham palace and flashed throughout\nthe kingdom. The capital received It\nwithout excitement, but sadly, for the\nking with his own people was unquestionably one of the most popular rulers\nIn the world. They regarded him aa\none of the strongest forces making for\nthe stability of the peace of the empire. The fashionable restaurants were\njust emptying and a few groups of late\ntheatre goers were making their way\nhomeward, through the rain while a\nemail crowd still hung about the palace when the streets were filled suddenly with news boys crying \"Death\nof the King.\" The papers were quickly seized and the people discussed the\nmomentous event quietly and soon dispersed. The streets were deserted by\n1 o'clock.\nBending the Newt.\nWithin a few minutes after the death\nof the king the home office was telegraphing the Intelligence to the heads\nof other governments and the British\ndiplomats and colonial officials throughout the world.\nBitting up Yesterday.\nAll who knew the king expected that\nhis death would be sudden and it\nwould nofco-have occasioned great Bur-\nprise if it had occurred without warn*\ning, as result of heart trouble. Almost\nto -the end he refused to take to his\nbed and was sitting up yesterday in\na large chair.\nRecognized His Family. . .\nThe queen and others of the royal\nfamily and four doctors have been constantly In the sick room throughout\nthe day. Several hours before his\n\u2022death the king was in a comatose condition but he rallied slightly between\n9 and 10 o'clock and then appeared to\nhave recognized his family. Then he\nlapsed into unconsciousness which\n'ended In his passing.\nlunge Beat of Trouble.\nWhen Dr. St. Clair Thompson, the\nthroat specialist was called this morning. It was expected that an operation\nwould be necessary but after a con-\nvultatkm It was decided that the lungs\nwere the seat of the most serious\nsymptoms. Experts were held In\nreadiness to administer an anaesthetic\nbut there was fear that the weakness\nof the king's heart might result In a\nfatal issue, and an operation was set\naside as a last resort\nBody In King's Chamber.\nThe body lies In the king's chamber\nin the northwest wing of Buckingham\npalace which is brilliantly lighted,\nwhile the rest of the great gloomy\nbuilding with the exception of Lord\nKnolly's office is entirely darkened.\nIt was nearly half ah hour after the\nking breathed his last when Lord\nKnollys walked Into the office and said\nto the waiting reporters, \"Gentlemen\nhis majesty is dead.\" The people outside the palace, only learned the news\nwhen bearers appeared with papers.\nIn the meantime the prince and princess of Wales had taken leave of the\nother members of the royal family at\nthe main entrance soon after midnight.\nThey drove direct to Marlborough\nhouse. Princess Victoria, who is her\nmother's constant companion remained\nwith the queen. The others of the\nfamily followed the prince and princess\nof Wales.\nPrivy Councillors Summoned.\nA summons to the privy councillors\nhas been issued by Sir Almarc Fltzroy,\nclerk of the councillors convening the\ncouncil in the throne room of St.\nJames palace at 2 o'clock this morning\nwhen the -councillors will, with one\nchoice and consent of tongue and heart\npublish and proclaim that the high\nand mighty Prince George Is now, by\nthe death of our late- sovereign of\nhappy memory, become our only lawful\nand rightful liege lord George 5th by\ngrace of God, king of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, defender of the faith and emperor of\nIndia, to whom -we1 do acknowledge all\nfaith and constancy \u2022 with all hearty\nand humble affection, beseeching God\nhy whom kings and queens reign, to\nbless the royal Prince George 5th,\nmany happy and long years to reign\nover us.\"\nPRESIDENT TAFT\nSENDS CONDOLENCES\nOffers Profound Sympathy of Government of United States to\nBereaved Queen.\nWASHINGTON, May 6\u2014President\nTaft, upon learning of the death of\nKing Edward, wrote the following\nmessage of condolence to Queen Alexander which was cabled to Buckingham palace tonight:\n\"On the sad occasion of the death\nof King Edward, I'offer to your majesty, and to your son, his illustrious\nsuccessor, the most profound sympathy\nof the government of the United States\nwhose hearts go out to their British\nkinsmen, on this, their national bereavement.

They would .be opposed to thrusting upon King Edward's successor, at the\nvery beginning of his reign, a question bo\nvital to the future of the empire.\nSIR WILFRID LAUR1ER\nWILL TOUR THE WEST\nOTTAWA, May 8.~Slr Wilfrid Laurler\nhas definitely decided to visit western Canada early in July.

The vibrations lasted for more than a minute,\nshook! buildings and caused dishes to\nrattle. The court house shook so that\nthe employees ran out of their offices.\nSORROW HERE\nNelson Shocked at News\n\u2022City Will Pay\nRespect\nWord of the king's death was received by The Dally News at 4:45\no'clock yesterday afternoon, and a special edition' was quickly placed on the\nstreets. The supply was quickly exhausted, and It was necessary to run\noff hundreds more. The news seemed\nto spread Instantaneously and almost\nat once flags were seen, floating at\nhalf mast on the court house, on the\npublic school, on the Bank of Montreal,\nand elsewhere In the city. The merits\nof the late monarch and his consort,\nthe prospects of the heir, and the possible effect on the course of events\nIn Great Britain, were common topics\nof conversation. Reminiscences of\nKing George's visit to Canada a few\nyears ago when Duke of York were\nfairly numerous. Through all conversation ran a general note of profound sorrow, and on every hand the\nnews caused a shock.\nMarks of Respect.\nThe general dissemination of tbe\nnews coincided very nearly with closing time in the stores, and the majority closed their doors a little earlier\nthan usual. In the evening the Empire and Arcade theatres remained\ndark, as-a mark of respect to the late\nsovereign. The local court of the Independent Order of Foresters, In session last night, passed a resolution of\nsorrow at the death of his late majesty, the same to be recorded on the\nminutes.\nIt is probable that the government\noffices will tbe closed today, though no\ninstructions to that effect had been\nreceived from Victoria last night. The\nsession of the supreme court, however,\nunder the-circumstances, will have to\nbe continued.\nMemorial Exercises.\nIt is announced that the services\ntomorrow evening. In both the Baptist\nand Methodist churches will be of a\nmemorial character. On the day of\nKing Edward's funeral, also, there will\nbe a memorial service In St. Saviour's\nchurch.\nThe city council on Monday night\nwill probably take action toward the\nholding of a public memorial service\non the day of the funeral, on the Recreation grounds, or at some other\nequally suitable point. The school\nboard will hold a meeting today, at\nwhich It will probably be decided to\nhave the schools co-operate in such\nmemorial exercises, if held, the children to parade from the school to the\npoint of assembly.\nAPPLICANTS FOR\nSCHOOLS OFFICE\nLetters for Post of Medical Inspector\nFiled\u2014Board Asks to be Notified of Cases.\nAt a meeting of the school board, an\napplication was received from Dr. Annie\nVerth Jones for the post of medical Inspector ol acuuola.

This\npower the king administered both\nwisely and well.\nMany Reforms.\nTbe English people are Indebted to\nthe late Wng for many reforms,\nbrought about by him In bis rc.o as\nsocial arbiter, and which afford au excellent indication of his charac1*:. It.\nis, thanks to him, for Instance, that\nhard drinking and coarseness of language have gone out of fashion. When\nhe was a boy it was considered 1-ad\nform for a gentleman to retire to rest\notherwise than intoxicated, while almost every phrase spoken was ernhfl-\nllslied with blasphemy.\nAnd If a higher tone of morality\nand a greater sense of propriety now\nprevail than In the earlier half Ot the\nlast century., It is in a great measure\ndue to the unobstruslve but ex- eiient\ncare which the king took to keep\nout of society those who have forfeited their rights to remain within its\npale. He was as ready as any other\nvotary of pleasure to meet them in\nthe sphere to which they have descended, and to treat them there with\nkindness and consideration,' but he\nwould not tolerate their presence in\nhouses that are respectable, and\ntook quiet means to eliminate them\nthereform.\nIt is due to him also that all the\nill-feeling towards the Jewish race\nhas disappeared, and the Hebrews,\nwho, In the early days of the Victorian era, were not even admitted to\nthe full rights and privileges of ordinary citizenship, are now to be found\noccupying seats in the house of lords\nand In the front rank of the most\naristocratic and exclusive circles of\nsociety.\nHis Happy Home Life.\nOne of the moat pleasing traits of\nthis genial king was his singularity,\nhappy home life. He has been the\nobject of many stories of a more or\nless scandalous nature, which he has\nconsidered to be beneath his dignity\nto deny or refute. But he has done\nwell to treat them with silent contempt. For It was only necessary to\nsee the king among his family in\nSandrlngham, and to observe the affection with which his nephews and\nnieces spoke of \"Uncle Bertie,\" to realize that he was slandered abominably\nwhen described as a \"roue.\"\n\u2022 GOD SAVE THE KING.\n\u2022 God save our gracious King;\n\u2022 Long live our noble King;\n\u2022 God save the King!\n\u2022 Send him victorious,\n\u2022 Happy and glorious,\n\u2022 Long to reign over us,\n\u2022 God save the King-\n\u2022\n\u2022 Thy choicest gifts in store\n\u2022 On him be pleased to pour;\n\u2022 Long may he reign 1\n\u2022 May he defend our laws,\n\u2022 And ever give us cause\n\u2022 To sing with heart and voice:\n\u2022 God save the King!\n\u2022 O, Lord our God, arise I\n\u2022 Scatter his enemies\n\u2022 And make them fall;\n\u2022 Confound their politics\n\u2022 Frustrate their knavish tricks\n\u00bb.

His statement on the\nsituation was In this wise:\n\"This rising at Chang-sha has been\nrather expected for'Some time. Although\nthe country around is rich with regard to\nsoil and other resources, and the population about as industrious as usual, there\nhas been a very serious shortage of rice,\nand it would seem that the governor ot\nthe town has not taken adequate means\nto deal with the acute stage of the famine\nas It arose. As he appears to have been\nkilled or to have committed suicide, it Is\nprobable that we shall, never have the\nInside truth of what has happened, and\nhow far he was personaly to blame It\nis impossible to nay. It appears to me\nthat the course of events has been rather\nIn this way. First of all, there was widespread privation amongst the Inhabitants,\nnot only of the town but of the district\naround, and probably many people from\nthe outside flocked In with the Idea of\ngetting food and, perhaps, employment.\nThis led to a state of affairs which the\nauthorities either could not, or at any\nrate did not, cope with. Not unnaturally\nthe starving Chinese began to get desperate, and I see, according to one telegram,\nthat they were much Incensed at the fact\nthat workmen from another district had\nheen brought Into the town for the purpose of building or adding to the British\nconsulate, This probably put the cap on\nto the situation, and the anti-foreign feeling, which has always been very strong\nat Chang-sha, was at once manifested In\nviolence.\"\nHankow Baptists\n\"Have you formed any opinion as to\nwheuier the dimensions of tne rising can\nbe kept within louai limits by the local\nauthorities V\"\n\u2022 -bcarceiy. If It be true, as stated, that\nthe soldiery in Cnang-sua have joined ihe\n1'ioieis, it is very ciear tnat law and order\ncannot be restored without -bringing la\nforces from outside, and, as regarus that,\nit may ue useful to bear in minu the position of tne town in reference to tne main\nstream of the Yangtse. At Hankow,\nwhich Is the great commercial centre for\nthis part of Onina, there la the terminus\nof the railway iroin Fekin, and that railway may play a very important part In\ntne task of quelling the disturbance, If\nthe Hankow people have got suttlcient\ntroops at once available. From Hankow\ntnere is a navigable river running southward to the great lako ol Tong Ting How,\nand from the lake the Blver Hengkiang\nis navigable up to Chang-sha, which hi\nthe junction of several streams. So that\ntne town may be said to be in easy coiro\nmunication by water with Hankow and\ntne iangtse-Kiang generally, l see that\nat Hankow itself the people are restless,\nand 1 take it that the first thing to do\nwould be to dispatch a sufficiently strong\nforce from Pukln to give pause to any\nsort of rebellious movement In Hankow,\nThen, of course, there ore quite a large\nnumber of Europeans, especially British\nand Germans, and the people have got accustomed to their presence, and to dealing\nwith them, and are not very likely to be\nso much swayed by ignorant fanaticism\nas the people at Chang-sha, but at both\nplaces I am sorry to say that the feeling\nagainst the Christian missions Is extremely strong, and, os we know already from\nthe cables, the mission mlldlngs at Crmng-\nsha were among the first to bo destroyed.\nThe Chinese Forces\n\"I should say that, speaking generally,\nit Is a case where, as nt a great tire, If\nthe measures taken at once are vigorous\nand adequate to the occasion, It may not\nbe very difficult to get the affair under,\nand the attitude and procedure of the\npekln government In this trouble will bo\nextremely interesting. It is generally assumed, and I think with truth, that th*\nChinese army today Is altogether a different machine from what it was at the time\nof the war with Japan. Europeans discipline and arms have been Introduced,\nEuropean and Japanese officers have\ntaken the Chinese troops in hand, and If\nall goes well there should bo no difficulty\nwhatever In dealing with this Chang-sha\naffair\u2014at least, so long as It Is limited to\nthe one town and the district aroud.\"\nThe Japanese in Chang-sha\n\"Are Japanese; Interests very great at\nChang-sha v\"\n\"They are becoming so, but It Is only\nin quite recent years that the Japanese\nhave In any way established themselves\nla Hunan. J do not think tnat tney are\nmore disliked than other foreigners, and\n1 believe tney have the advantage of usually being able to speak the native tongue\nwith some proficiency. In an affair like\nthis, however, all foreigners, of whatever\nnationality, will be tarred with the same\nbrush.\nMainly an Economic Trouble\n\"I regard the whole business as mainly\neconomic. If there had been plenty of\nfood and the usual amount of employment\nthings would have gone on all right, and\nthere would have been no riot. Incidentally, It 1b worth noting that the scarcity\nof rice at Cban-sha Is to a large extent\ndue to want of transport and better organization. The adoption of European\nmethods\u2014for example, tne extension of the\nrailway from Hankow to Chang-sha\u2014\nmight have made all ithe difference in the\nway of supplies. The navigation from; the\nYangtse la nearly all up-stream, and the\nnative craft will have to be depended upon as cargo-boats, and their progress is,\nof course, wretchedly slow, if a train-\nload of rice could nave been sent Into\nChang-sha at the critical moment It\nmight have saved all the worst of the\ntrouble. I should imagine that the present\ntime in the province of Hunan there Is\nquite sufficient food to prevent famine, if\nIt could only be concentrated where it is\nmost wanted but In China, even now,\nwhen the telegraph Is established all over\nthe country, the risk of famine, as In\nIndia, Is connected with the problem ot\ntransport much more closely than with\nthe ouestlon of production. The more Intelligent of the Chinese are quite alive to\nthis, and the extension of railways should,\nin time, make It possible for any large\ncentre of population to be cut off from\nfood supply under anv, circumstances.\nSzechuan Possibilities\n\"For example, If there were anything\nlike an adequate steam service of cargo-\nboats plying up the river to Chonking it\nwould be easy to provision any part of\nHunan from the province of Szechuan.\nThat region Is one of the most fertile and,\nperhaps the most productive or any province in China. The only reason why more\ntrade has not been done there hitherto has\nbeen the difficulty of getting there. It is\nof the utmost Importance that the navigation of the Yangtse should be improved\nand cheapened, so that the freight charges\nfrom the seaboard to Szechuan should be\nas low as Is compatible with the actual\ndistance. When that reform Is effected,\nthe prevention of famine throughout the\nYangtse Valley will be a comparatively\neasy problem. There are, of course, innumerable tributaries from the main\nstream, many of which are navigable for\ngood-sized oraft. This trouble In Chang-\nsha touches the Interests of Great Britain\nmore than any other Europeans trading to\nChina, for the plain reason that the\nYangtse Valley constitutes the main sphere\nof British operations and Influence. One\nImportant result of building the projected\nline down to Hong Kong will be to give\nan entirely new and more direct route\nfrom the sea Into the Interior of the province. The saving of time ns compared to\nthe Yanetse route\" should be verv great,\nbut the Chinese are not quick builders, although verv good ones.\n\"Chang-Bha Is on th? route of the railway,\nthe concession for which the Chinese government have, withdrawn, and they will\nno doubt proceed to build It in their own\nfashion. Had the railway been completed\nthis crisis would nqt have occurred,\"\nA Clean Man\nOutside cleanliness is lets than ball the battle.

A. A. or the N. C. U.,\nprovided, of course, that they are affiliated to one of these organizations.\nThe N. C. U. desired, however, that\npromoting clubs,, should apply to the\nA. A. A. for permission to hold athletic events and to the N. C. U. for the\ncycling part of the programme.\nThe A. A. A. strongly objected to\nthis alteration, and as the N. C. U.\nstood firm the athletic body decided\nlast Saturday to break altogether with\nthe N. O. U., and to go a step further by promoting cycling events of\ntheir own.\nThe N. C. U. officials now talk of\nretaliating by promoting athletic\nevents. Meanwhile competitors must\nBuffer, for certain meetings will not be\nopen to them if they remain loyal to\ntheir governing body.\nOne of the original sources of tbe\ntrouble was the A. A. A. objecting to\nthe N. C. U. Including professional\nfoot races in their amateur cycling\nprogrammes, Tihe N. G. U. pointed\nout that In Wales and other places the\ntwo were practically inseperable and\ntheir secretary\u2014Mr. S. R. Noble\u2014also\nsees no harm in an amateur and a\nprofessional racing together.\nThere is no apparent prospect of a\nfriendly settlement of the dispute.\nCricket.\nA cricket quarrel of last season will\nbe revived at the next meeting of the\nSurrey County Cricket club.. The Rev.\n,J, C. Crawford, father of Mr. J. N.\nCrawford, the All-England cricketer,\nwill move tbat the luspension of his\nson be rescinded. Mr. J. N. Crawford\nis now in Australia, where he went\nshortly after he quarellerd with the\nSurrey club.\nIt will be remembered that he refused to play for his county In the\nmatch against the Australians, after\nintimating previously to the secretary\nhis intention to turn out. He took exception to the personnel of the team,\nand declined >to captain the side if certain men were not Included.\nGREAT POLO GAMES FOR\nINTERNATIONAL CUP\nThe good form exhibited by the English polo players in the United States\nhas given hope that the International\npolo cup wll lagain be brought to this\ncountry (when a selected team will\ncross the water in the autumn. The\nexcellent displays of. the team at Lake-\nwood has raised high hopes of some\nof the genuine polo enthusiasts and an\nappeal is being made through: the press\nfor funds to purchase the best ponies\npossible.\nThe fund which Is known as the International Polo Cup Recovery Fund\nhas not been so well subscribed to by\nthe leaders of polo as it might ibe.only\n\u00a33000 of the \u00a310,000 required having\nbeen received and there is still a long\nway to go before the necessary amount\nis raised.\nMoney Coming Slowly\nIn this connection the Illustrated'\nSporting and Dramatic News Bays \"The\nappeal Issued through the press by the\nHurlingham committee is not the voice\nof the strong. Ninety of the leaders of\npolo have only put up \u00a33000 out of the\n\u00a310,000 required for the American cup\nrecovery fund. Ninety subscribers do\nnot seem a large number out of those\nwho play polo, but if they Include the\nmajority of those who get a game and\nenjoyment, out of polo at Hurlingham,\nthat list Includes most of those who\nmight be expected to subscribe to such\nan undertaking.\n\"It is rather doubtful whether the\nbest possible use has been made of\nthose who have proved themselves willing tv guarante up to \u00a33000. That is\na very small portion of the \u00a310,000 required, but it is far more than Is likely\nto be lost by any such undertaking.\nPonies are not likely to die or .be reduced In value by playing for this cup.\nIf they win there Is certain to be an increase in value, probably more than\nenough to cover all expenses of buying\nof shipping and grooming. ' If this\n1b a correct view, that which was particularly required was an Insurance\nagainst loss of money, covered by a\nguarantee of \u00a33000.\n\"The guarantee fund has been started\non different lines and such as .compel a\ntotal subscription of \u00a310,000 or the\nabandonment of the enterprise. The\ncommittee will get their money (because\nsome one or two or.three rich men will\ncome forward and stand the cost, but\nthe general polo public are not going\nto find the money and as for those who\nare not polo players they do not care\nmuch, and would just as soon see\nMeadowbrook retain the'cup as Hurlingham regain it.\n\"The Interest in the polo clubs Is too\nfinancial altogether to allow one of\ntheir number to appeal to polo players\nfor finance, In the name of England,\nwithout at least a mental protest from\nsome who have axes to grind elsewhere\n* ilurllngham, as the. most free from\nthe financial element, Is the right club\nto run tbe affair, but It must finance\nits own show, because there is nobody\nelse that will do ItAfter all Its status\n, and its finances, will increase In proportion to Its gallantry.\"\nWill Have Strong Team\nThere will be no lack of men to pick\na thoroughly representative side from\nwhen the time comes.

POSTER Manager\nSATURDAY, MAY 7.\nTHE KING 18 DEAD.\nThe death of King Edward will\neverywhere be recognized as a loss to\nGreat Britain'and to the Empire. He\nwas, indeed, a great king. He had\nserved a long apprenticeship, knew his\nwork thoroughly, and employed hie\nability to further large and wise ends.\nSince we require in an artist perfection\nof technique and then something to\nmake the technique worth while, so\nwe 'may say that with bim the work\nof a king was elevated to the dignity\nof a great art. ' \u25a0\nLike Queen Victoria, he was a model\nconstitutional monarch, yet there was\na difference. She was a model constitutional queen, he a model constitutional king. The change, subtle and\ndifficult of analysis thought it may be,\nwas felt, at once. The masculine element was introduced. Some influences\nthat could be exercised only by a woman were no longer there; other influences that could be exercised only\nby a man were distinctly present. But\nin both instances there was a complete comprehension of the position of\na constitutional soverain, and on unfailing tact in the exercise of soverain\nfunctions.\nIn the international affairs of the\nworld he was an eminent figure. The\nsoverain in England has exceptional\nopportunities of knowing men and\npolicies. While ministries come and\ngo he remains. Of each ministry he\nIs the confidant. He is familiar with\ntheir several views and their individual\ndispositions. Questions are presented\nto him from all points of view by men\nof eminent ability. He knows the real\nas distinguished from the published\nI history of many years of government.\nNo new minister coming to his work\ncan bring to bear the same long and\nintimate knowledge and intimacy with\nmen and affairs. True, as this is of\nacquaintance with preceding home ministries it ds even more widely true of\na knowledge and intimacy with foreign monarchs, their character and\nalma, and with successive foreign ministries.\nBy King Edward those opportunities\nwere utilized in a remarkable manner.\nUndoubtedly hei strengthened (the\ninternational position of Great Britain,\nnot only by his personal popularity, as\nIn rthe United States, where he was\nmuch esteemed, but also by his per*\nsonal diplomacy. Though he delivered no sermons on the strenuous life,\nhe was no shirker. Without regard\nfor his own personal ease he devoted\nhimself to the service of his country.\nHe served it with genuine and sincere\npatriotism with zeal and with wisdom.\nBRITISH PAESS ON\nNATIONS LOSS\nEditorials Deplore Loss That Empire\nHas Sustained\u2014Was First\nof Englishmen\nLONDON, May 7\u2014All the morning papers appear iwith heavy mourning borders and full biographies of the dead\nsovereign, the published editorials deplore the nation's Ices, while many\ncolumns of dispatches from abroad testify to the interest and even alarm his\nIllness excited throughout the world.\nLittle has yet been heard on the subject of the new king, but the universal\nburden of the editorials, is the greatness of the loss suffered.\nZenith of His Fame\n\"In the zenith of bis fame, and what\nseemed to his loyal subjects but the\nmiddle of bis reign, he has been suddenly stricken down,\" says the Morning\nPost. \"Seldom has an English, king,\nand never has a British king enjoyed\nthrough his life the same kindly personal affection as always attended King\nEdward. Only now too late, will men\nfind how much they owed to him, and\nhow great a part he unostentatiously\nplayed.\"\nUniversal Affection\nThe Daily Telegraph says: \"Even in\nFrance and the United States King Ed*\nward commands well nigh as warm regard as can ever be extended to their\nown rulers.- And If this was the case\nabroad, what shall we say of the feelings with which our beloved sovereign\nwas regarded at liome. No three kings\nIn the whole range of our history en*\njoyed bucJi universal affection us was\ngiven Edward VII through his life.\"\nFirst of Englishmen\nThe Standard says: \"Tbe first of\nEnglishmen has passed away. Tbe monarch whose name is written among the\nhighest in the roll of England's long\nline of sovereigns, a patriot, a statesman, a governor well fitted by the vigor of his intellect and the engaging\ncharm of his manner to be the actual,\nas well as the ceremonial chlefi of the\npeople he loved so well and of the empire he ruled with such, memorable\nsuccess.\nThe New King\nThe thoughts of England turn largely\ntowards the new king, what policies he\nis likely to follow, what ore the prospects of a successful reign. George V\nnever has been as well known or as\nclose to the people as bis father wils\niwlifcu he was Prince of Wales, hence he\nriftver was so popular. His nature is\nshy and retiring and he is not considered as much a man of the world as was\nhia father. Nothing about King Edward\nappealed to the Umlsh masses more\nstrongly than his devotion to sport\nPrince George appears to care less for\nit than me average English gentleman,\nlie .cached maturity as merely the\ngrandson of the sovereign which gave\nhim little opportunity to participate In\npublic affairs, but he has be.Oins more\nacilye during the past five years in\nthat direction. He has been a constant\nattendant at \u25a0parliament and followed\nthe 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\nhas thereby gained a strong hold on\nthe people.\nThe Courage of His Race\nThe Times, in an editorial says: \"To\nthe last he has shown tbe courage of\nhiB royal race. Ho continued to transact business almost to the end. The\nswiftness and wholly unexpected character of the >blow will add to the pain\nIt will bring not only to his own people\nbut to all who love peace throughout\nthe world.\nPublic Calamity\n\"The loss of such a sovereign at the\nmoment when we stand committed to\nthe gravest domestic crisis of our time\nis a public calamity. We have, nevertheless, one consolation\u2014the serious\ncharacter and the wide personal knowledge of public business throughout the\nempire ot King George, affords a strong\nhope that tbe ship of state will ibe wise*\nly and Urmly steered through all the\ndangers w^ich menace it. We have\nlost a great constitutional king.

He gave details of\nthe occasion when he quit the barn by\na rear window, but did not know any\nreal reason why he should have used\nthat method,\nFather Forgave.\nWilliam Slater gave fuller details of\nthe. interview with Mr. Watts, subsequent to the whipping, his son and-\nMr. Watts' two sons being present.\nMr. Watts' language led -him to believe that the boy had really done a\nwrong, and under that mistaken impression he had agreed that the thing\nought to be stopped, but his son was\nmistaken when he said he thanked Mr.\nWatts. Mr. Watts, in closing the Interview, stated that the boy had really\nnot done a wrong, but that he was\nmerely working up a case. If he had\ndone a wrong, he would have shot him.\nHe asked the witness' forgiveness, and\nproposed that nothing be said to anyone about the matter, which should be\ndropped. The witness forgave the defendant, and they shook hands. At\nthis time, the witness was not\naware of the public nature of the\nwhipping, nor of the complete innocence of the boy,\nOrossexamlned, the witness defended his son in the practice of being\naround the barn and petting the colt\nwhen the girls were there, saying he\nwould have done the same himself. He\nhad never heard of any order for the\nemployes not to speak to the little\ngirls. When he learned later on of the\npublic whipping, and saw the accounts\nMr. Watts put In the Cranbrook papers,\nhe felt released from the. agreement\nto drop the matter.\nMother Testifies.\nMrs. Pauline Slater, mother of the\nboy, was the lost witness for the prosecution. She first learned of the matter through a Cranbrook paper, and\nasked her husband what man it was\ngor the whipping. When she learned\nit was her boy, she went straight to\nWattsburg, and had a warm interview\nwith the defendant, who for some time\nevaded her demand for the reason for\nthe whipping, though he finally told\nher, and informed her that if they\nwere not able to chastise their rascal\nof a son, he could do so. She said she\nwould take her boy away, and he said\nif she did he would prosecute. She\ntook the boy away, however. For*\nthree weeks he had welts on his neck.\nTo his lordship, she was not able to\nstate what they thought reasonable\ndamages, not. whether they expected to\npay Joseph Ryan, police magistrate of\nCranbrook. for his advice in tlie case.\nShe did not know that they could have\ncharged Mr. Watts in the police court.\nTo Mr. Macdonald she said If she\nhad known of her hoy hanging around,\nshe would not have permitted it for a\nmoment. Mrs. Slater was by far the\nbest of the three witnesses.\nDefence Outlined.\nMr. Macdonald asked for the dismissal of the case, but his lordship\nheld that a defence was required, as\nthe illegal whipping bad been proved.\nHis lordship Instructed the jury, however, that if they believed the case\nwas a worked up one, and. that the infant plaintiff was prosecuting it under pressure from others, they had the\nright at this stage to dismiss it.\nMr. Macdonald then opened the case\nfor. the defence, stating that it would\nbe shown that there was no real in*\nJury, and that, though the whipping\nwas admittedly illegal, it was completely justified. It would also be proven\nabsolutely that Mr. Watts had not\nstated he was a J. P., and had not\ngiven the boy the option of a whipping\nor 20 years, but had given him the\noption of a whipping, and prosecution\non the criminal charge of slander.\nThe dual defence would be set up, of\njustification and consent.\nAdjournment was taken to this morning.\nMORE THAN HALF\nOF MALE POPULATION\nPalos Disaster Has Spread Consternation In Mining Villages\u2014Two\nHundred Killed\nPALOS, Ala,, May 6--The little min-\nIng village of Palos Is In mourning today. More than halt of the male population Is believed to bave perished as\nthe1 result of an explosion In No. 3 mine\nof tile Palos Coal ft Coke company yesterday. About 200 men, 45 white and!\n155 colored, are thought to have been\nMlled. Eleven Indies have heen found.\nIn the 200 foot level the greatest number of men were working and there it\nIs expected most of the ibodles will be\nfound. Coming so soon after the disaster in the mine at Mulga, Ala., where\n41 men lost their lives last month, the\ndisaster has spread consternation in\nthe mining villages In this section. A\nnumber of miners who escaped the first\ndisaster had come here to work and\nseveral of them lost their lives yesterday. The black damp which filled tbe\nmine soon .after the explosion, It Is.\nthought, is being rapidly displaced and\nparties are being equipped with oxygen\nhelmets and other paraphernalia necessary for entering a gaseous mine. \u2022 It\nis hoped that all of the bodies will be\nbrought to the surface today. Numerous caves-ln In the mine were caused\nby the explosion and the families of\nthe entombed men are hoping that some\nmay have found refuge from the deadly aftermath behind these.\nDOWAGtRJHJtEN\nFirst Since Death of William IV\u2014\nHeir Apparent Is Sixteen\nYears Old.\nLONDON, May 6\u2014With the accession to tbe British throne of the Prince\nand Princess of Wales, Queen Alexandra becomes the dowager queen, the\nfirst the empire has had since the\ndeath in 1837, of William IV, who was\nsurvived. toy Queen Adelaide, a princess of 8axe-Coburg-Meingen. As\ndowager queen she will receive an annuity of |350,000.\nThe New Queen.\nThe new queen is Victoria, only\ndaughter of the late Francis, Duke of\nTeck. She was born May 26, 1867 and\nmarried Prince George, Duke of York,\nJuly 6, 1893. They have six children,\nfive sons, and one daughter.\nHeir Apparent Manly Lad.\nThe eldest, Prince Edward Albert,\nnow the heir apparent is a manly lad\nwho will be sixteen years old In June.\nHe is now serving as a naval cadet.\nPrince Albert Frederick, the second\nson, also is a naval cadet. He is fifteen years old. The other boys are\nPrince Henry William, Prince George\nEdward and Prince John Charles. Tbe\ndaughter is Princess Victoria, Alexandra Alice Mary. She was born in\n1897.\nKING'S SUDDEN ILLNESS\nCAUSED CONSTERNATION\n(Continued from First Page.)\nimproved when the sensational report\nwas disproved. Messages are pouring\ninto the palace from all parts of the\nempire and foreign countries expressing\nthe hope that better news will soon toe\nreceived.\nStarted Year Ago\nKing Edward's first serious attack of\nbronchial trouble, which was accompanied with symptoms of asthma, was experienced a year ago. Since that time\nhis majesty has suffered several recurrences of the mailady. Each attack\nproved worse than the preceding one\nand more difficult to conquer. The\npresent illness came suddenly without\nwarning.\nWorst Fears Confirmed\nCallers at the palace today who had\nexpressed the hope that the reports Jn\nthe morning papers were exaggerated,\nhad their worst fears confirmed by the\npalace officials. \"I am very sorry to\nsay,\" said one of the King's close entourage, with a shake of his head, \"that\nthe papers have not exaggerated his\nmajesty's condition. It Is very grave.\"\nThere are unmistakable signs that all\nthe members of the palace entourage\nare greatly alarmed. g\nLooked Very III\nOne government officer who, in his\nofficial capacity, attended upon the audiences of the King on Wednesday, yesterday said: \"The King looked very ill\nWednesday morning and very much\nworse on Thursday. The chief outward\nsymptom was extreme hoarseness. He\nwas scarcely able to speak at times,\nbut insisted upon continuing the audiences. When .the king's condition was\nthe subject of remark, his majesty said:\n'This Is a return of what I had at Biarritz. I got clear of it then tout caught\nanother cold at the theatre. However,\nI will be all right in a few days'.\"\nContinued Audiences\nWhltelaw Reld, United States ambassador at the court of St. James, who\nvisited the King at Buckingham palace\non Wednesday, said today: \"I went to\nthe palace upon the king's request to\ntalk over some future engagements.\nThe King then looked well and was In\ngood spirits. He was, however, coughing a great deal and complained that\nhis throat was distressing and very tiring. However, he talked -for fully half\nan hour. I thought at the time that he\nhardly realized how ill he was.\"\nHuge Crowds\nAs the day wore on, the crowds at\nthe palace assumed huge proportions\nand the police had difficulty in keeping\nthe approaches clear flor those having\nofficial business. Even the announcement that no more bulletins would be\nissued before evening failed to diminish, the number of anxious ones who\nwaite)i for further advises. It was\nlearned at 1 o'clock that although some\nof the attending physicians remained\nclose by, tbelr presence bad not been\nrequired In the sick chamber for some\ntime. This indicated at least that there\nhad heen no relapse. What the physicians most fear is that they will find\nsome growth on the bronchial tubes\nrequiring an operation. It is also known\nthat when the King's throat has been\naffected previously he had heen subject\nto spasmodic contractions ofi the vocal\nchorda which were rather alarming. In\nhis majesty's present condition a sudden strain of euch spasms put on the\nblood vessels, would .require likely instantaneous relief. Hence the constant\npresence of Dr. Thomson; the throat\nspecialist who was called into the case\nthis morning.\nPrayers Requested\nTbe Archbishop of Canterbury telegraphed to ail the 'bishops of England\nand Wales this afternoon as follows:\n\"Prayers by the church and people of\nEngland are desired on behalf of his\nmajesty King Edward in his grave illness.\" ; |uJ\nInsuranoe Rates Raised\nThe rate of insurance offered by\nLloyds against loss in event of) the\nKing's death, was raised sharply following the issuance of this morning's more\nalarming bulletin. Sixty guineas per\ncent ds demanded for insurance against\nlosses in the event of death within\na month. The earlier morning'rate was\nB0 guineas per cent.\nNew York Affected\nNEW YORK, May 6\u2014News of the\nserious Illness of King Edward caused\ngeneral weakness today on the stock\nexchange where declines of from one\nto nearly two points were registered\nthroughout the list. The selling was\nconducted with a view to> discounting\npossible heavy selling orders in the\nevent of the King's death. The list\nwas later supported.\nBASEBALL SCORES\nNorthwestern League\nWon LoBt P.C.\nTacoma 8 5 .615\nVancouver 7 6 .638\nSeattle 6 7 .462\nSpokane 5 8 .385\nAt Spokane\u2014 Tacoma 11, Spokane\n11; batteries, Annias and Byrnes; Col-\nltns and Brooks.\nAt Vanc6uver-\u2014Seattte 0, Vancouver\n0; batteries, Thompson and Custer;\nErickson and Sugden.

His Majesty King Edward VII of\nGreat Britain and Ireland and of tne\ndominions beyond the seas, Emperor\nof India, K.G., K.P., G.C.B., G.C.S.I., G.\nC.M.G., P4\/., was the eldest eon of her\nlate Majesty Queen Victoria, and the\nlate Prince Consort. He was born at\nBuckingham palace, November 9, 1841,\nreceived this early education under the\nRev. Henry M. Birch, rector of Prest-\nwlch; Mr. Glbbs, barlster at law; the\nRev. C. P. Tarver and Mr. H. W.\nFisher, and having studied for a session at Edinburgh, attended the Christ\nchurch, Oxford, where he attended -the\npublic lectures for a year and afterwards resided tor three or four terms\nat Cambridge for the same purpose.\nHis Majesty spent most of the summer of 1860 In a visit to the United\nStates and Canada, where he was\nmost enthusiastically received. In\n1858 be was gazetted to a colonelcy\nin the army and Joined the camp at\ntbe Curragh in June, 1861. Accompanied by Dean .Stanley he travelled in\nthe east and visited Jerusalem In 1862.\nHie Majesty is a K.G., a field marshal\nand colonel In chief of the Household\nCavalry Brigade, colonel of the Tenth\nHussars, and has the' titles of Duke\nof1 Cornwall (by which he took his\neeht in the house of lords In February, 18G3, In tlie peerage of England);\nDike of Rothesay; Baron of Renfrew\nami Lord of the lales, in Scotland;\nand the Earl of Dublin and Carrich,\nini Ireland, and enjoys the patronage\nof! twenty-nine livings, chiefly as owner' of the Duchy of Cornwall.

Towards the close of the year\n187J his (majesty was attacked with\ntyphoid fever, and for some weeks his\nlife was despaired of, but he slowly\nrecovered, and was able to take part\nIn the memorable \"thanksgiving service\" in St. Paul's cathedral, February\n27, 1872. He was elected a grandmaster of the Freemasons In England\nIn succession to tlie Marquis of Ripon\nin 1874, and on April 8, 1875, was admitted to the office at a lodge held In\nthe Albert hall. South Kensington. On\nMay 5, 1875, he was installed at the\nFreemasons' hall as First Principal ot\nthe Royal Arch Freemasons. In 1875-\n76 his late majesty visited India. The\ngreat Interest he took in the Paris exhibition of 1878 contributed in no alight\ndegree to render it a success. His\nlate majesty attended the court festivities held at Berlin in March, 1883, to\ncelebrate the silver wedding of the\ncrown prince with the Princess Royal\nof England. On this occasion he was\nnominated by the emperor as a field\nmarshal In the German army. In 1885\nhis late majesty In company with the\nprincess made a tour through Ireland.\nIn 1899 the prince, with the princess\nand their sons, visited the Paris exhibition, and in October of the same\nyear he was present at the wedding\nof the Duke of Sparta at Athens, in\nMay, 1891, he was made a grandfather\nby the birth of the Duchess of Fife's\ndaughter. He waa appointed a member of the Poor Law commission in\n1893, and attended its sittings with\ngreat assiduity. In the summer of\n1901 and in 1894 the late king raced\nhis yacht the Britannia In most of\nthe chief regattas round the coast\nand secured many victories. He was\npresent in April, 1894, at the wedding\nof Princess Victoria Melita, at Co-\nbourg and with the Princess of Wales\nattended the marriage of the date\nCzar's daughter at St. Petersburg. In\nJuly, 1894, as In the Jubilee year, his\nmajesty was present at the Welsh\nElsteddfodd, on which occasion the\nprincess was admitted a bard. During\nthe autumn of 1894 his majesty, tbe\nPrincess of Wales and the Duke of\nYork hastened to join the Russian imperial family at the time of the death\nof the late Czar, and King Edward by\nhis courteous attention to Russian etiquette and constant attendance at the\nprolonged funeral ceremonies, won tlie\naffection of the Russians to a marked\ndegree. His majesty has taken a great\npersonal- Interest In all the exhibitions recently held at South Kensington and was executive president of\nthe Colonial and Indian exhibition opened by the Queen in May, 1866. He\nalso originated the Royal College of\nMusic and was the chief mover in the\nJubilee scheme of an \"Imperial Institute,\" which, after some opposition he\nat last succeeded tn establishing in\n1893. In 1888 his late majesty and\nthe then Princess of Wales celebrated\ntheir silver wedding.\nKING EDWARD AS DIPLOMATIST\nHis Influence Powerful for Good in the Courts of\nEurope\u2014Victorian Virtues Shone Out\nWith Unimpaired Lustre\nKing Edward VII, the Peacemaker,\nwill be the title the future historian\nwill bestow upon the late monarch of\nEngland. He inherited his mother's\ndistaste of war and exerted all his power and Influence to preserve the peace,\nnot only of his own kingdom, but of\nEurope. Related to practically every\nreigning household of Europe, and personally popular, he was enabled time\nand again by tact and diplomacy, to\nsmooth over ruffled statesmen and\nrulers and to assuage the feelings of\nhot tempered bellgerents.\nIt is as a diplomatist that the late\nking distinguished himself. How powerful has been his influence In the\ncourts of Europe will never be known.\nWhen he ascended the throne it was\nlittle dreamt that he would .become the\nforemost diplomat op Europe. \"Another\ntailor king like George IV,\" was the\nexclamation of an experienced English\nstatesman when Queen Victoria's death\nwas announced. He assumed that the\nceremonial, side of royalty would be uppermost during the new reign. He gave\nthe sovereign full credit for resourceful\ntact, distinction of manner and social\ngraces, but considered him incapable of\nsubmitting to the daily drudgery of the\nexamining of state papers and of exerting personal authority In home and foreign affairs. The king, as a matter of\nfact, had never had an opportunity of\ndisplaying his ability. As Prince oE\nWales he was supposed to be simply an\namicable nonentity. To him was left\nthe social and ceremonial side of royalty\u2014his mother looked after serious\nstate matters herself. It was not very\nstrange then that not only the general\npublic, but diplomatists, had no Insight\ninto the personality of the king.\nTribute to Late .*lng\nI. N. Ford, the New York Tribune\ncorrespondent has the following inter*\neating character sketch of the late king,\nshowing the attributes he possessed,\nwhich eminently flitted him as a diplomat:\n\"His character is a composite one,\n-with a strong strain of hereditary\ntraits and with qualities developed in\nthe environment of a prolonged apprenticeship as heir to the throne. What\nmay be described as the Victorian heritage, includes absolute truthfulness, capacity for work, shrewdness of Judgment, persistency ofl purpose, hlgh-\ntnlnded patriotism and consciousness of\nmoral obligation. These virtues were\nless apparent while he was Prince of\nWales than some of his mother's minor\ncharacteristics, such as stately elegance\nof manner, kindness of heart, Intense Interest In small details of court etiquette\nand a lively sense of humor. Light-\nhearted and volatile In spirits, a patron\nof the turf, an idolised leader of the\nsmart set, he took bis pleasures easily\nand reveled In bright, spirited conversation nnd the luxurious recreations of\ncountry houses. He could not be suspected of having the Indolent habits of\nthe Georges when he was displaying\nuntiring fenergy in promoting public\ncharacter and in conducting ceremonials; but his reserves of working power\nwere not divined until he ascended the\nthrone and devoted his talents to the\nservice ot the state. The Victorian\nvirtues then shone out with unimpaired\nlustre, and along wdth them were qualities of his own which facilitated his\nwork. \u25a0 . dJi\nSome of His Qualities\n\"There was the precise knowledge of\ndetail which proved helpfiul to him when\ngreat state functions were planned or\ndiplomatic policies carried out. There\nwere tbe resources of tact, simplicity\nand bon homle which were serviceable\nin the management of men at home and\nabroad. There was the quickness of decision as a safeguard against procrastinating habits, suspicion of Judgment\nand vacillation of will. There was the\nflexibility of mind for adapting him to\ncircumstances and protecting him from\nliarrassing controversy over minor details. There was freedom from prejudice which had left Mm on terms of\nclose friendship with both Gladstone\nand Beaconsfleld when his mother\ncould not conceal her antipathies and\npreferences and which was to enable\nhim to balance his social activities, so\nimpartially that he could work as readily with one prime minister as another.\nTo his natural trend greatness on a\nhigh plane of action was added a special equipment from bis protracted\ntraining in the public eye.\nSecret of Hia Success\nOne writer has placed his success as\na diplomat to the fact that \"he played\nan honest game of diplomacy with the\ncards on the table In plain view, and\nwith motives, methods and objects\nfrankly disclosed. His own methods\nwere so straightforward and his motives so sincere that frankness was a\nsafe 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-\nples and quite a natural, aptitude for\ngetting on with them. Speaking several\nlanguages he is peculiarly qualified by\nnature and by education to play the difficult role of Interpreter and peacemaker; and he has played the role not\nonly with great skill, but with a directness and sincerity which have won the\nconfidence of Europe.\nEDUCATION Of .TOE\nUTE MONARCH\nTaught to Work by Mother. Who Abhorred Idleness\u2014Was Good\nSportsman.\nKing Edward, like his mother, was\nnaturally very domestic. When a\nyouth he was brought up very strictly.\nHe was taught to work, for his mother\nadhorred Idleness. W. T. Stead In a\npersonal sketch of the king, rather\nthinks his parents overdid it.\nWhen he was 13 years old he was\ndescribed by bis governess as \"extremely shy and timid with very good\nprinciples, and particularly an exact\nobserver of truth,\"\nWhen he was 17, Prince Metternlch\nnoticed that he had \"an embarrassed\nand sad expression.\"\nWhen he was 13 he paid his first\nvisit to Paris and enjoyed himself immensely. He begged the Princess Eugenie to get leave from his mother for\nthe Princess Royal to stay a little\nlonger. \"Oh,\" said the empress, \"I am\nsure tlie queen and the prince consort\nwill never be able to do without you.\"\n\"Not do without us,\" cried the boy,\n\"don't fancy that, for there are six\nmorei, of us at home, and they do not\nwant us.\" The queen, however, was\nobdurate.\nHis Education.\nQueen Victoria and the prince consort spared no pains to give the future\nking of England the beet possible education that could be procured. How\nhe was crammed at the universities\nwas amusingly described by Punch under the title of \"A Prince at High\nPressure.\" Here is a sample stanza:\nTo the south, from north, from the\nshores of the Forth,\nWhere at hands Presbyterian, pure\nscience is quaffed.\nThe Prince, in a trice, is whipped to\nIsls,\nWhere Oxford keeps springs mediaeval\non draught,\nDipped in gray Oxford mixture (lest\nthat prove a fixture),\nThe poor lad's to be plunged 'in less\nOrthodox Cam,\nWhere dynamics and statics and pure\n\u25a0mathematics\nWill be piled on his brain's awful\ncargo of cram.\nKing Edward as a Sportsman.\nWith such a nation of sportsmen as\nthe English, it is natural that the\nking's love of the turf and of sports,\nmade him peculiarly popular.\nHis wins of the Derby set the whole\nempire cheering. The king's racing\ncolors consisted of a purple satin body,\n.faced with gold braid: the sleeves are\nscarlet, and the cap black velvet, with\ngold fringe. On a racecourse they first\nmade their appearance on April 15,\n1880, at Aldershot. The royal colors\nwere registered as far \"back as 1875,\nbut it was not until June 4, 1886, that\nthey were really sported.\nUnited Kingdom, the Dominions Beyond\nthe Seas and India. Under ancient law\nit is technical treason to Imagine the\ndeath of a monarch and they are loath\nto acknowledge tbey were preparing for\nthe event. All the ancient gazettes,\ncourt circulars and other papers have\nbeen taken from the libraries, however,\ntbat the officials may familiarize themselves with the ancient pageantry\nwhereby a sovereign is proclaimed. The\ncity remembrancer said today: \"It will\ndepend on the will of the new sovereign\nto dedde how far the ancient customs\nshall be modified to suit modern customs, but in a country where precedents\nare so firmly adhered to as In England\nit may be anticipated that they shall\nfollow closely on the acts which prevailed when the King ascended the\nthrone.\nThe privy council, which is a very\nlarge body will meet at St James palace\nwhere the form of a proclamation declaring that \"we,\" etc., \"with one voice\nand consent of tongue and heart declare\nand proclaim the High Mighty Prince\nGeorge Frederick Ernest Albert,\" etc.\n\"who by the death of the monarch has\nbecome our only lawful and rightful\nliege,\" etc.\nThis proclamation will give tbe new\ntitle the King may assume; but this is\nnot yet announced. The proclamation\nwill then be sent to the Herald's College and the following day the earl\nmarshal, the Garter-King-at-Aims, the\nHerald's pursuivants and other officials\nthe college members, with the Household troops, will proceed from the palace, clad In their splendid surcoats and\nproceed to Trafalgar Square. There\nthe King-at-Arms will halt, command\nsilence and read the proclamation.

There the lord mayor and\nsheriffs in their state carriages will\nform a great. procession and when the\nEarl Marshal's party comes just within\nthe dty boundary the proclamation will\nbe read again, and the procession will\npass down Ludgate Hill and Cheapslde\nto the Royal Exchange, where similar\nceremonies will close the spectacle.\nFOR SALE\nFOR SALE\u2014Cheap, two gaa stoves, enamel sink, two toilet washbasins with\nhot and cold water connections, four brass\n(jus hanging lamps. .

Cous-\nens and Pratt, who made the sails for\nthe Manchester then, will make them\nfor the present defender. Plgeou Bros,\nor East Boston will build the hollow\nspars and Merriman Bros, of South Boston will make the special equipment ot\nblocks, etc.\nThe boat is belnit built by subscription by the members of the Manchester\nYacht club and will be under the control ot the Seawanhaka cup committee\nor the club. The committee has already chosen the-gentlemen who will\ncrew the boat. Tbey are E. A. Board-\nman ot Boston and Manchester; John\nL. Salstonstpu of Beverley, and R.\nDeB. Boardman of Boston.\nThe men are all expert amateur sailors, having heen interested In the sport\nfor many years. The boat will be distinctly a Bay State product, having\nbeen designed, built, handled and owned by Massachusetts men.\nIt Is unfortunate that there will he\nno trial horse for this defender, ibut as\nthere is no class for this type here,\nand they are to say the least expensive, naturally few people care to build\none. This boat is to be tried against\n\u25a0the fastest craft in the bay during June\nand July in the hope that she will be\nable to receive the necessary tuning up\nThe Canadians will live at Marble-\nhead during their stay in the states as\nthat Is the best location to give their\nboats the necessary trying out.\nThe race is scheduled for July 25 oft\nHouse Island,.

The redskins led at the end\nof the first hall 3-2.\nEnglish Champions\nLancashire is again the champion\ncounty of England, defeating Kent by\n22 goals to 3 in the final game.\nWho Invented Baseball\nBaseball, under that name, had its\nbeginning at Cooperstown, N.Y. In 1839,\nalthough afterwards the name was\nchanged, the game being called the\n\"Ne.w York game\" with the \"Massachusetts game\" following later, the rules\nbeing somewhat different Before tlie\ninvention of buseball the English game\nof \"rounders\" and \"town ball\" and\n\"three hole cat\" had been played in\nAmerica with balls, bats and bases.\nIn 1839 a West Point cadet named\nDoubleday, appointed from Coopers-\ntown, and probably at home on furlough\nInvented the game, Doubleday afterwards was a bright general in the army\nand famous as a mathematician. He\norganized a team of seven boys to play\nthe game, first against two batters and\nthen against any number of batters\npresent and not engaged in fielding.\nLater lie placed nine men on a side assigned their positions and played games.\nAs to whether Cadet Doubleday introduced the game into West Point upon\nhis return to the'academy, there is\nmuch dispute. It is said by several\narmy veterans that the class of 1841\nplayed a game against another class\nteam, but this has been denied.\nAlexander J. Cartwrlght of New\nYork proposed a similar game in 1845\nmathematically calculated the distance\nbetween bases, and singularly adopted\n00 feet as the correct distance, exactly\naa Doubleday bad done. The wisdom\nof the mathematical calculations of tbe\npioneers is vouched for today by the\nexperts. Cartwrlght wrote rules for\nhis game and organized a club, first\ntrying seven members and then nine.\nCalled It 'New York Game\"\nBaseball under the name of \"New\nYork game\" became popular at once\nand was played widely throughout the\neastern states, the rules, however, varying in almost every state, so that it was\ndifficult to arrange matches. Each team\nwas forced to concede some rules to the\nother and lengthy conferences preceded interstate matches before the\nroles could be agreed upon. In some\ntowns 21 \"acres\" (or as iwe call them\nruns) constituted a game. In others,\nespecially where cricket had been played 100 rounds or tallies, constituted a\ngame and frequently .many days were\nrequired to complete a match.\nThe Knickerbocker club ot New York\nframed a complete code of rules in\n1846, the basic principles laid down In\nthe rules being the same as those now\nprevailing. The rules placed bases 42\npaces apart and 21 acres constituted a\ngame. The new game had taken well\nIn Brooklyn, which was the centre of\nthe athletic aotivity and the Knickerbocker rules prevailed among tho Brooklyn clubs. The Hudson river'.' towns\nand citieB adopted the game and accepted the rules. It was played entirely by\namateurs and while called baseball in\nsome places It continued to bo called\nthe New York game or \"New York',' until it was introduced into Boston by the\nTrl-Mountaln team In 1858.\nBoston having been a cricketing center, objected to the New York rules\nand changing them, played the Massachusetts game, In which 100 runs constituted a game. Jhe record of games\nplayed in Boston and Cambridge show\nthat sometimes five days were required\nto complete a match.\norganize and Amend Rules\nWith the organization of the National\nBnseUall association In 1S58. tile game\nbegani lo approach uniformity. Tho\nrules were amended and modified and\nbaseball quickly succeeded cricket as\ntlie popular sport. Prom the first local\npatriotism Played an Important part\nin the sport. Matches played for as\nhigh as JJ1000 a side were frequent.\nBrawls and clashes between partisans\ncrowds and assaults upon umpires are\nrecorded even in those days.\nRace in English Soccer\nOne 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\nthe game, has a league team which has\nnever been identified with the first dl-\nvision in their history, had the proud\nprivilege of appearing In the last match\nfor the English cup.\nIt is the unique distinction which\nBarnsley should cherish because the\nclub has never ranked higher than\nseventh in its class. They were admitted into the second division in 1898 and\nfinished 11th. The year they reached tbe\n7th place was In 1905.\nRecord of Team\nEvery one of the team Is English and\nthese lads, tew of whom are known far\nfrom Barnsley, have beaten Blackpool\n4-0, after a 1-1 draw, Bristol Rovers 4-0\nWest Bromwlch Albion 1-0, Queens\nPark Rangers 1-0, and Everton 3-0, after a \"oalless draw, in all 16 goals to\n1, this solitary goal being scored by\nBlackpool in the first round.\nSituated In only a working class district, Barnsley is by no means a rich\nclub and have been frequently obliged\nto transfer players to keep their balance sheet healthy and as a fact, not\none of the men who have carried the\nteam so far this year, Is in receipt of\nthe maximum wage.\nThey have been noted for their faculty to discover rough diamonds and to\npolish them Into gems with perfect\nlustre, some of the most noted players\nin the country having passed through\ntheir hands.\nNewcastle United Noted\nNewcastle United are too well known\nto need much distinction and the question in everybody's mouth Is whether\nthey will achieve their hearts' desire\nafter having their hopes dashed at the\nPalace so many times before.\nBrighton and Hove Albion are at the\nhead of the Southern league, their only\nchallengers being Queen's Park Rangers and Swindon Town.\nThe latter team after their phenomenal career In the cup competition\nare now at liberty to devote their energies in the league and may be sure to\nmake a bold bid for honors.\nTeams that fall out ot the first division of the league into the second find\nit harder every year to fight for promotion and as a matter of faot play is\nfar more strenuous in the second division than In the higher ranks.

Just now the Immensely wide\nstreets are bordered only by small trees,\nwhich make the hot, dusty expanses of\nroadway aeem dustier and hotter or mocking the wayfarers, aa if a thirsty man\nwould have a thimbleful of water handed\nto him. But growth Is rapid here, Before\nmany years are passed these saplings\nwilt spread their leafage wide, and everywhere one will walk 'beneath a cool canopy\nof whispering leaves.\nNobody Walks.\nAt present nobody walks, the first morning I waa here I made a great mistake. I\nwent out for a stroll around to get an\nIdea of the town. Frankly, I thought It\nwas a detestable place. \"There Is about\nenough here,\" 1 said, \"to make a decent-\nsized village, and they have spread it over\nan area big enough for the site of a city.\"\nIt was very hot. It was also windy. Dust\nlay thick all over except In the very middle\nof the road. I saw no white peopie about.\n1 came back to the hotel sick and tired,\nand la a bad temper. ,\nBut after a cool drlng and a welcome\nrest in a lounge chair on the balcony\nlooking over the river and over the great\nstretch of desert bounded by fascinating\nfar-off hills, 1 reflected and began to\nunderstand. In this dry atmosphere thirst\nbecomes a habit, and it is necessary to\ndrink often of lime juice, or lemonade, or\nvery llgnt beer. As I cooled on* I became\nmore reasonable. I noticed the gathering of donkeys and of rickshaws\ndrawn by some small pomes near the\ngate of the hotel on the river's, edge,\nEverybody who went out took one or the\nother. Since then I have done likewise,\nand I have no further complaints. There\nIs one walk, and a very pleasant one, left-\nhanded along the river toward the point\nwhere tbe Blue and \"White NHes meet,\nkeeping each Its distinctive color for many,\nmiles down, and whence the steam ferry\npiles to Omdurman on the further bank.\nBut no ono would dream of walking even\nhere under the palm- trees until the sun\nhas dropped low.

Tou are told that some place you\nwant to get to is \"at the end of tlie\nstreet.\" This means at least a mile, and\nsometimes nearly two. Yet the bulIdlnRB\nare scattered only here and there. There\nIs but one good European shop. There\nare bits of pavements In places, but for\nthe most part roadway and sidewalk have\nnot yet been separated. Consequently one\nhas the sense of wandering about a stm-\nurb which Is still In the builders' hands\nand only just ibeglnnlng to be occupied.\nWell, for '{suburb,\" read \"city,\" and that\nl\u00ab perfectly true of Khartoum. It has been\nplanned with an eye to the future.\n\"Some day,\" they said to themselves,\nstep into a railway car at 'Khartoum,\nfrom that again you board another car\nand are set down in the heart of this\nonce-terrible Omdurman.

The people\nare cheerful, but there Is a shade of apprehension \u25a0 in their faces yet. And here,\nfar more than In Khartoum, with its\nEnglish gardens and English faces, you\nrealize why.\nThere are some who think our work\nmay one day be done in Egypt and the\nEgyptians capable of walking alone In the\nway of honest, firm government without\nfear or favor.

For\na complete contrast go over to Omdurman.\nEleven years ago this -was rfllll the Dervish\ncapital, the residence of the Paine Prophet,\nwho made Ms power felt over nearly half\nAfrica. It was a slave-trading centre, a\nvast prison, where every man felt himself\na cantlve and knew that a turn of Fortune's wheel might at any time number\nhim among the victims who were hanged\non blirh gallows In the market place every\nFriday to strike the Khalifa's terror home\nto every heart.

Today you\nMore Than Three Hundred Have\nDropped Out of Sight In History\not Nebraska\nMore than, 300 towns in Nebraska\nhave disappeared from the map In the\n60 years covering the history of settlement In that state. Perhaps 50 more\nexist only as railroad whistling posts\nof straggling groups of houses.\nHalf a dozen or more have dropped\nInto the Missouri river through changes\nIn the channel of that whimsical river.\nOthers were the victims of hard luck\nthe failure to get a honed for railroad'\nor the loss of a county seat, and still\nothers existed only as a means of separating easterners t;rom their money.\nIn 1855 when the first territorial legislature met, it passed an act locating\nseveral county seats. Among them was\nArcher, county seat of Richardson\ncounty, today one of the richest in the\nstate. Among Its earliest settlers were\na party of French adventurers.\nThey liked the land and settling down\nmarried Indian squaws and raised numerous families. Curiously enough it\nwas this fact that wiped Archer off\nthe map. When the government put\ninto effect the reservation method of\ndealing with the Indian's of the western\nprairies it found itself confronted with\na problem arising out of the presence\nof so many French halfbreeds. As a\nsolution of it the commissioners decided to set aside a special reservation\nIn Richardson county for these families.\nVv^en tbe survey was made it was\nfound that tbe town of Archer was included in the reservation. Manifestly\nthe whites would not live in a reservation town, or retain it as a county seat\nand although Archer men sought to\nhave the government change its lines,\nthey were unsuccessful and within a\nfew months there was nothing left of\nthe town.\nFirst Site of University\nFort Calhoun, the site of the Lewis\nand Clark treaty with the Indians in\n1804 was in the early CO's a town of\n1200 persons, due in part to the proximity of the military post. It was then\nthe county seat of Washington county\nand a strong contender for choice as\nthe capital when the territory ibecame\na state. Nebraska university also was\n.founded there.\nThe army post was abandoned, the\ncapital was located elsewhere, the railroads passed hy, It dwindled into a\nmere hamlet and the university closed\nIts doors, Its prosperity lasted seven\nyears.\nFontelle, another Washington county\niown, now a hamlet, had a college- once,\ndid much trading with the Indians and\nfreighters and was the county seat of\nDodge county. The politicians changed\nthe county lines at a legislative session\nwhen Fonteneile was not looking and\nthrew it Into Washington county, which\ncaused It to be overshadowed and soon\nkilled.\nBellevue and Florence, both located\nnear Omaha, the one south and the\nother north, along the Missouri, were\neach at one time much larger than\nOmaha. Florence once had 5000 Inhabitants, now it has fewer than 600.\nIt was the winter quarters of a vast\nfcody of Mormons, who camped there\nwhile on their way to Utah In the late\n40's and early 50's. Later it was the\nwesternmost point of heavy immigration\nFor a time It wag doubtful whether\nOmaha or Florence would win In the\n'race between the two cities, but when\n'the scales turned in favor of Omaha\nby favor of the Union Pacific railroad,\nFlorence became almost a deserted village.\nIn 1882 there were fewer than 200 inhabitants, but the extension of Omaha\nhas made it a suburb of that city and\nIt is again growing, because Omaha,\nits ancient rival, is spreading in that\ndirection. Bellevue was the first territorial capital, but now has less than\n100 population.\n\u2022 Victims of the Missouri\nOmandl, one of the populous towns\nof territorial days, woe located on the\nMissouri river, almost opposite the present town of Sioux Falls, Iowa, The Mis*\nsouri river changed its course one night\nand the townspeople woke the next\nmorning to find the swift current rapidly undermining the town. They moved\ntheir houses out to farms on the uplands or abandoned them. Within a\nyear the river had complete possession\nof the townslte.\nDecatur, Burt county, was another\nvictim of the river. It was once seriously considered as the point of crossing of the Union Paclflo railway, but\nthe Missouri showed signs of eating up\n\u25a0the townslte and Omaha was chosen\nInstead.

If\na subject lived in style the crafty cardinal would inform him that he was\nobviously wealthy, and could afford to\ncontribute to the king's purse. If, on\nthe other hand, a subject lived frugally, the cardinal would argue that\nbe was obviously laying up treasure,\nand was, therefore, In a position to\ndisgorge at tbe bidding of royalty. By\nthis playful little system Henry VII\nmanaged to amass a comfortable fortune of about \u00a314,000,000. However,\ntbe zealous cardinal did not benefit\nmuch thereby, for when Henry -VIII\ncame to the throno he was promptly\nput in prison.\nBut William Pitt is realty entitled\nto the credit of instituting the income\ntax proper, which he did in 1798, in\norder to defray the expenses of the\nwar with France. This tax was repealed In 1802, but the following year\na property tax was imposed, to be\nabandoned in 1816, after Napoleon\nhad been overthrown and peace restored. For twenty-six blessed years\nEngland was free from an income tax,\nbut then Sir Robert Peel felt compelled to make use of It again in 1842\nand he commenced with the healthy\nBum of sevenpence. For several years\nthe income tax never rose higher than\nelghtpence, and in 1853 it was generally extended to Ireland. The following\nyear the tax jumped up to one shilling\nand twopence, owing to the Crimean\nwar, and it still further advanced to\none shilling and fourpence, but during\nthe Indian mutiny only flvepence was\ndemanded. When Mr. Gladstone became chancellor of the exchequer he\ndevoted special attention to the income\ntax. In 1861, when it stood at nine-\npence he pointed out that Its existence\ndepended entirely on the expenditure.\nIf the national outlay was restricted to\nsixty millions the tax would be abolished, but If the outlay reached, seventy\nmillions it must be retained. In view\nof tbe fact that our national outlay is\nnow considerably over one hundred and\nsixty millions, the prospects of ever abolishing the tax look particularly remote. In 1863 Mr. Gladstone reduced the tax from ntnepence to seven-\npence, and also attempted to abolish\ntbe exemption pertaining to charitable endowments and corporate trusts.\nHe found,. however, he had raised a\nhornet's nest about his ears, for a\nmost imposing deputation at once\nwaited upon him, and he was forced\nto allow the exemption to remain.\nIn 1874, when the Income tax stood\nat twopence, the lowest price on record. Mr. Gladstone mapped out a\ngreat budget, the salient feature of\nwhich was the total abolititon of the\nincome tax, In place of which he intended substituting death duties.\nThough at the general election he\nmade tbe abolition of the Income tax\nthe feature of bis campaign, he suffered defeat, and the Income tax survived, never to be threatened again\nIt had always been Mr. Gladstone's\nambition to abolish this unpopular\nburden, Trouble in Turkey, an entanglement In Egypt, and a campaign\nIn the Soudan all helped to Increase\nthe national debt, and caused the.in*\nBakes-Roasls\u2014Broils\u2014Toasts\n\"AKES bread, pis snd cake-\nbakes them perfectly all through,\nsod browns them appetizingly.\n\u25a0OASTS beef, poultry and (am*\nwith a steady heat, which pro* .\nverves tbe rich natural flavor.\nBROILS steaks snd chops\u2014makes\nthem tender and inviting.\nTOASTS bread, muffins, crack-\nera and cheese.\nNo drudgery of coal and\nashes; no stooping to get at\nthe oven; no smoke, no dust,\nno odor\u2014just good cooking\nwith greater fuel economy.\nIrons and water in wash-\nboiler always hot.

The figures\nwere then considered appalling, and\nMr. Chllders, who was faced by a deficit of fifteen millions, promptly raised the income tax from sixpence to\nelghtpence. Mr. Goschen managed to\nImprove matters, and In 1889 he got\nIt down to sixpence, beyond which sum\nhe affirmed It should not rise, For the\nfirst tune on record the tax yielded the\nsatisfactory sum ol two millions sterling for every penny imposed. Unfortunately the sixpenny days did nor last\nlong, and the budget of 1894 brought\nthe income tax up to elghtpence. Sir\nWilliam Harcourt was faced with a\ndeficit of over two 'millions, and in\naddition to utilizing the Income tax he\nadopted Mr. Gladstone's idea as regards the necessary 'revenue. In 1902\nthe. South African war caused the tax\nto reach the formidable figure of one\nshilling and threepence, though the\nfollowing year It was reduced to elevenpence, to return the year after to a\nshilling. What it Is at present every\ntaxpayer knows, and what Is will be\nin the ufture Is a secret which the chancellor of the exchequer has safely locked away In lhs bosom.\u2014T.

F, Carter-Cotton, says editorially;\n\"We also look for a great expansion In\nthe Industry In the Boundary and Kootenay districts during the next few years.\nOne factor which Is of great importance\nIn making such development possible is\nthe great strides that have been made in\nthe smelting industry with a view to a,\nreduction in the cost of smelting. In tho\ncourse of his address Mr. Kiddie gave\nsome concrete instances of what had been\naccomplished in that direction. In one instance ore which a few years ago yielded\none dollar per ton profit to the mineowner,\nnow gave hlui a proilt of $8.50 per ton,\nwith a corresponding gain to the miner.\nThe effect of these economies will bo\nreadily realized. Ores which a few years\nago would nut pay to mine, or which could\nonly be handled after being concentrated\nat considerable expense, can now be marketed with satisfactory results to the\nmineowner. Nor is there reason to think\nthat the best results have yet been attained. Mr. Kiddie speaks of the year\n3SW, when a recovery of iiO per cent of the\nValue in the ore was all that could be\nobtained. Today, by means of improved\nmethods an average of SO per cent can bo\nobtained or GO per cent more than what\nwas possible 39 years ago. That implies\ngreat addition to the realizable wealth\nour mineral!*:, with all the Indirect\nbenefits that will accure to the province\nfrom the expansion of the mining Industry\nmade possible by these improvements hi\nmetallurgical processes.\nZinc Ores.\n\"There Is another field which seems tft\noffer great possibilities by cultivation. That\nIs the treatment of onr zinc ores. in.\nthe past the ores in which zinc is found\nhave realized a lower price on account of\ntho zinc. Now there is a prosnect. that not\nonly will this charge be dune away with,\nbut that the mineowner will receive payment for the zinc.\nJohn D.
