THANKS Of A KING
Edward va OF England sends Letter
10 state Iegislature.

Topeka, Kans., May 1A-In order to
completely square himself with the peO-
pie of Kansas, King Edward VII. OF Eng
land has caused ms foreign minister,
Lansdowne, to convey TO the legislature
of Kansas his thanks for their sympathy
over the death OF Qneen Victoria, as ex-
pressed by resolution during the last ses-
sion of the legislature. The letter came
to Governor Stanley today through the
American embassy at London. It wiz
be remembered that the king sent one
reply to the message in which he thanked
the people of Kansas for their sympathy
and loyalty" The Kansans didn't pro-
pose to be placed in the attitude of being
loyal to the British throne. so the legis-
Iature. upon motion. expunged the kings
letter from the record. In due time the
action of the legislature reached the ears
of the king, and he Immediately conveyed
to Ambassador Joseph II. Choate a mes
sage stating that the loyalty business
was all a mistake; that the kings sec
retary, in the rush OF business, had sent
out the wrong letter OF thanks to the
Kansas people. He was deeply pained
and apologized The information was
conveyed to the Legislature by letter
from Mr.. Choate. That the record might
be made straight King Edward VII, de-
oided that letter OF acknowledgment in
proper form should be sent, and it came
today Il was addressed 10 Ambassador
Choate and reads:
