EDWARD VII.
PROCLAIMED KING

London, Jan. 24-Edward VII. was
proclaimed King of Great Britain and
Emperor of India in the st. James
palace at 8 o'clock this morning.
The Court Gazette to-day gives the
proclamation of Edward VII, the ac-
acknowledgement of allegiance by the
Privy Council and the Kings speech
at his accession.
King Edward, in his speech to the
Privy Council, said
"Your Royal uighnesses, my Lords
and Gentlemen: This is the most pain
full occasion on which l shall ever be
called upon to address you. My first
and melancholy duty is TO announce to
you the death of my beloved mother,
and, L think l may say, the whole
world, sympathiZes with me in the ir-
reparable loss we have all sustained.
Il need hardly say that my constant
endeavor will be always to walk in her
footsteps.
"In undertaking the heavy load
which now devolves on me, l am fully
determined to be a constitutional SOW
ereign in the strictcst sense of the
word, and, so long as there is breath
in my body, to work for the good and
amelioration of my people
Il have resolved to be known by the
a
by six of my ancestors. In doing so
do not undervalue the name of Albert,
which l inherit from my ever-to-be-la-
mented great and wise father who by
universal consent is, think, deserved
ly known by the name of Albert the
Good, and L desire that his name
should stand alone.
I'm conclusion, | trust to Parliament
and to the nation to support me in the
arduous duties which now devolve
upon me by Inheritance, and to which
| am determined to devote by whole
strength during the remainder of my
life"
After giving n list of those who at.
tended the council, the Gazette an,
nounces that the King subscribed the
oath relating to the security of the
Church of Scotland.
1t concludes with the Kings formal
proclamation ordering all officers and
persons in authority throughout his
dominion to continue to exercise their
offices during the royal pleasure and
exhorting his subjects to aid and assist
such officers in the performance and
execution of their duties.
The morning papers record with the
greatest satisfaction that the King has
taken the title of Edward VII. They
are filled from end to end with descrip-
tons of yesterdays ceremonies and ac-.
counts of the reception of the news of
the death and the accession through
out the United Kingdom and in all
parts of the world. King Edwards
first speech is also applauded.
King Edward will return to Osborne
Immediately after the proclamation
ceremony.

Fearfully Cold in Alask

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 24.-Advices
from Dawson and the Yukon valley re-
port that that section of Alaska has
just passed through the coolest wealth
er recorded since the white men inhab.
tied that country. The climax was
reached on January 10th, when the
thermometer at Dawson fell to sixty
eight degrees below zero. A message
from Forty Mile the same day said
that it was seventy-oight below.
The coolest recorded before this was
in 1896, when it was not quite sixty
eight near Forty Mile. The average
for the seven days ending January
10th at Dawson was tifty-eight below
zero. All the time Il dense fog hung
over the entire valley.

ly view the situation. l do not believe
the condition in the Indian country is
as bad as stated, even among The
Creeks, and as for my people, while
there may be few foolish enough to
join the uprising, as whole they are
too law-abiding to do so. So far as we
are concerned there will be no need to
call for government troops. There can
be no doubt, however that the Snakes
are rising, as trouble has been brew
ing among them for several months"
Governor Dukes was shown the dis
patch from South McAlester stating
that he had been deposed by the full
bloods. he seemed nettled and said:
"rhat is the first l have heard of it,
but l am governor and | will remain so.
However. l will investigate this when L
get to Muskogee. AS to the message

be believed"

ing of disaffected Choctaws was fully
confirmed yesterday by runners sent

arrest that they will be treated with
every courtesy, and be consulted in the

call themselves Choctaw Snakes. They
comprise all those Indians who are oI
posed to allotment and the conflict IL,
between them and the treaty Indians.
While Don-citizens are not in danger,

planned to destroy all the railroads in
their nation by burning bridges and
section houses on preconcerted night.

cease leasing or renting to whites. The
first offense they will punish with fif-
ty lashes, they say; ears will be cut off
for the second offense, and death in
fiicted for the third. They have or
ganized and have leaders in every

Perhaps the cleverest scheme ever
put together for evading custom house
duties and practically smuggling goods
into the country has been brought to
light by the death of an old French
man in Indiana. When he came here
he was one of the poorest in the coun-
try, and when he died he was one of
the wealthiest. His name was Pierre
J. D'Heur, and he laid the foundation
of his fortune in this way: He had a
friend in a great glove factory in
France, and had him send thousands
sf pairs of the best gloves in two con-
signments, one to New Orleans and
one to New York. When the New Or
leans consignment was opened it was
found to contain only left hand gloves,
and D'Heur refused it. Later the
<ssnAignment was put up at auction and
D'Heur bought it for mere nothing
Then came the New York consignment
which, oddly enough, contained only
right hand gloves, which were also
refused by DHeur on account of the
mistake" and also afterward bought
by him at public auction, thus escap-
ing the payment of any duty.
