SERVANTS WERE FIRST
 TO VIEW QUEENS BODY.

Cowes, Isle of WightJan. 23-Events have shifted from Cowes to London. Osborne is house of mourning and Cowes is probably the quietest place in the United Kingdom him followed the army of officials and news paper correspondents. The Kings depart ure was unostentious as that of any American President. He and hi ssuite in civilian attire left the castle without a mill tary escort, and no sign of pomp.
 Queen Victoria's body was embalmed last evening and occupies the center of the din- ing room, which is hung with trappings of mourning. Outside two officers are on guard. Within two Indian attendants re- main in company with the ladies in wait ing, who are constantly present. The body is attired in black. The face is perfectly peaceful ,and the arms are folded. On the breast rests a beautiful gold cross. The head is inclined slightly to the right. All about repose quantities of beautiful flowers.
 The honor of first seeing the body of the Queen was conferred on her personal re- tinue
 All the servants and tenants were admit ted. The footmen, housemaids, coachmen, stable lads and policemen filed through the room for four hours There were no for malities. Bent old men, children and fam flies who had grown up on the estate and who~regarded the Queen as a friend and patron, rather than as a sovereign, took their turn, and their grief and sorrow was as great as if they had lost personal friend.
 In the meantime many residents of Cowes and neighborfng towns, and many promi- nent people, applied at the porter's lodge for admission, but they were told to come tomorrow.
 There is no mistaking the reality of the sorrow of Cowes. "The Queen was always so good to us," they say. She knew per- sonally many of the townspeople and took an interest in their families. their troubles and their joys. She could call many of them by name, and often stopped in her drives to talk to them. Almost every house has a half-masted flag and the store win dows are draped with black and white.

HOW TITLE OFSPRiNcE
 OF WALES IS CONFERRED.

Contrary to general opinion the Duke of York does not at once become Prince of Wales. through the accession of his father The title of Prince of Wales becomes merg- ed in the sovereignty, but the King will exer- else his prerogative and confer the prfnci- paiity of Wales on the heir apparent. The new king was born November 9, 1S41, but he was onlyscreated Prince of Wales on the following December f. There has been six royal princes who have never been created Prince of Wales. However, the Duke of York becomes at once Duke of Cornwall, and the Duchess of Fife (Prncess Louise of Wales), becomes a Princess Royal as this capacity is treated by the law in much the same way as the mother of Queen Con sort.

GREAT CROWDS GREET
 ENGLAND'S NEW RULER

London, January 23-The King Emperor entered his capital at 1255 D. m. and pro- ceeded to Marlborough House
 Dense crowds, beginning at St. James street, lined the entire route to Victoria Street Station from an early hour. The Mall and the front of Buckingham Palace were especially thronged. All along the former, from the palace to Marlborough House, carriages filled with ladies stood as if for a drawing-room, except that the coachmen, footmen and occupants were all dressed in mourning. The police precau- tons were unusual Men mounted and on foot guarded almost every yard of the way.
 The crowds waited patiently for hours to greet their King. Preceded by half a dozen mounted policemen the new sovereign ar rived in plain brougham, which was driven very rapidly, with the coachman and footman in their usual gray livery, with mourning bands on their arms. An eduerry wa seated beside him. The King, of course was dressed in the deepest and most simple mourning and carefully raised his hat in acknowledgment of the silent uncovering of heads which was more im- pressive than the most enthusiastic cheers.
 The King Looked Sad.
 The King looked tired and very sad. but very we'll Following him came the Duke of York, the-Duke of Connaught and others. Both the King and Duke of York looked pathetically up at Buckingham Palace as they passed and acknowledged the salute of the guard of honor drawn up inside the palace grounds.
 The troops showed there and elsewhere no signs of mourning except that the bands were not playing, but all the officers had crepe on their left sleeves.
 The King drove to St. James Palace from Marlborough House to preside at the first privy council, by way of Marlborough House yard. the Mall and the Garden en- trance to the palace. He was attended by Lord Suffield (who has been Lord of the Bed Chamber to the Prince of Wales since fS62), and was escorted by a captains escort Of the Home Guards. The procedure was exactly on levee days
 By the time the King arrived great gathering of I,rivy, councillors in levee dress with crepe on their left arms, had taken uR position in the throne room. Cab

Cowes, January "A, a. m.-At Il o'clock this morning the members of the royal family will gather around the body of the late Queen, who lies in a simple coffin in the chapelle Ardente, festooned with red and white hangings. The bishop of Win chester, standing before an altar removed for the occasion from the private chapel, will read a portion of the service for the dead
 The coffin rests on a specially erected platform, draped with royal purple, the feet lying to the east. The head faces the simple altar.
 Over the face is thin veil.
 For few hours after the conclusion of this side, the public will be admitted to the room and allowed to view the remains of the sovereign who so long ruled over them. The body will rest there until Sun day and it is probable that no removal will occur for ten days.
 The correspondent of the Associated Press learns that the cause of the Queens death, as given, was "senile decay" The doctors have adopted this expression as most suitable and truthful. They attrib ute the paralyis which attacked her as secondary to the general weakness of her condition, nor is it considered advisable for reasons of state, to intimate that her intellect was dimmed by this particular form of the disease
 Details of Dying Hours.
 Details of the dying hours were not ob- tainable until late last evening. It appears that the Queen was moved on Sunday from her big bed into small cot, specially built with springs, which was surrounded by

 But she followed him out, and calling her companions proceeded to give the mar shal blistering arraignment in the pres ence of the crowd. She then started for the next saloon, but found it well barri- caded and offered no plate glass for her to attack. The marshal refused to allow her to chop down the doors and she finally went home with her companions. She said she had only begun her work and expected to clean out many more places. It is re- ported that she will move on Abilene to- morrow and the Abilene saloon men are preparing for her coming.
 Tonight as Mrs. Nation was featuring on the street, Mrs SchilIing, the wife of the saloonkeeper whose place was demolished came up to her. I've got you now" she said and struck Mrs. Nation twice in the face. A slight gash was cut over the eye and it bled profusely. Mrs. Nation went to a neighboring house and had her eye band aged and continued her lecture on the street. The crowd was too noisy and she adjourned to a church nearby where she finished her address.

Says He Will be Strictly a Con-
 stitutional Sovereign
ASKS THE HELP, OF PARLIAMENT
Concludes by Saying That His Strength for the Remainder of His Life Will be Devoted to His
 Duties.

London, January 2i.-An extraordinary appears with black borders, announces the death of Queen Victoria, adding:
 ''The event has caused one universal feel ing of regret and sorrow to her late Majes- tvs faithful subjects, to whom she was endeared by the deep interest in their well fare which she invariably manifested as well as by many signal virtues which mark ed and adorned her character
 Then follows the proclamation of Edward VII, the acknowledgement of allegiance by the privy council and the Kings speech at his ascension, which is as follows:
 Your Royal Highness, My Lords and
 gentlemen.
 This is the most painful occasion on which I shall ever be called upon to ad- dress you. My first and melancholy duty is to announce to you the death of my beloved mother, the Queen, and 1 know how deeply you and the whole na- ton, and, I think I may say the whole world, sympathize with me in the ir- reparable loss we have all sustained.
 Il need hardly say that my constant endeavor will be always 10 walk in her foot steps.

 mined to be a constitutional sovereign in the strictest sense of the word, and so long as there is breath in my body to work for the good and amelioration of my people.
 II have resolved to be known by the name of Edward, which has been borne by six of my ancestors In doing so I do not undervalue the name of Albert which I inherit from my ever to be lamented father, who by universal con- sent is, I think, deseryedly known by the name of Albert the Good, and 1 de- sire that his name should stand alone.
 Tn conclusion I trust to Parliament and the nation to support me in the arduous duties which now devOlve upon me by inheritance and to which I am I determined to devote my whole strength during the remainder of my life."
 After giving list of those who attended the council, the Gazette announces that the King subscribed the oath relating to the security of the Church of Scotland.
 Kings Proclamation.
 It concludes with the Kings formal pro- clamation ordering all officers and persons in authority throughout his dominions to continue to exercise their offices during the royal pleasure and exhorting his subjects to aid and assist such officers in the per formance and execution of their duties. The sorrow felt throughout the empire is described in a constant succession of telegrams arriving from every important town in the colonies, all telling of the sus- pension of business, the closing of thea tres, the display of mourning emblems and arrangements for memorial services. All the governors have sent on behalf of their respective colonies telegrams of condo- fence to King Edward and Joseph Cham berlain. secretary of State for the colo nies.

A building would be laid on the 18th of this month and that Governor Mclean would preside over the exercises of the day. There will be exercises in the Grand opera house previous to the laying of the cor ner stone and several prominent speak CTS will be present. A fine programme will be arranged as fitting opening of this great day in the history of the Y. M. c.

 Among the other speakers last even- ing were Judge Cleaveland, s. H. Read and Robert Chapman. These men spoke of the encouraging work that Is being done by the committees of which they were members and later formed plans whereby the raising of the remaining $75 ,OO0 will be carried out. The commit tees decided last night to go right at the work of raising the money and their eff forts will be united in this aim.
 The meeting was very successful one and a great deal will be accom- plished as result, it is thought. There were thirty-five present, including many of the prominent Y. M. c. A. men in town.
 The supper served last evening was furnished by the Woman's auxiliary.

Upward Movement of Lust Week Fails
 to Continue.
 New York, May 20.-Tho late upward movement of stocks last week failed to con tinue to-day, although there was some re- sistance at times in the way of strength for individual stocks. There was pro- gresslve decline In the influence of these special movements and the day closed with the market quite active and weak at about the lowest of the day all around. There were one or two unfavorable new features during the day, and also some developments which were favorably interpreted. The market was not very manfestly influenced by the news of the day, but seemed rather to move as the result of technical causes Taking of profits on last weeks late rise was. the principal of these causes. The market gave growing evidence of it's abandonment to the class of professional operators, some of tbem of large means and broad methods, but the public was evident ly not inclined to respond to the temptation of price movements.
 The market opened irregular and then yielded all around to the renlzing, but re- covered quite strongly in response to a movement in the coalers. There was some strength In response to movement i'll the coaIers There was some strength also among the southwesterns, apparently on the score of published reports of a pro- jected new steamship line from Mexican port to the Orient. The obvious fact thut the struggle for control of the transporta- tion of future trade products to the Orient lies at the root of most of the movements working out in the transcontinental rail road territory gives any suggestion in this line an influence. The movement in the coalers was apparently speculative. The strength in St. Paul was not explained by any news, but the buying was calod good. The stock yielded, however, in the latc weakness and closed at n net loss The weakness of Union Pacific was an effective factor in upsetting the market. Allegations of further issue of convertible bonds to finance the purchase of Northern Pacific stock were the prime factor in that points below Saturdays close and at the lowest of the day Other notably weak stocks were Atchlsoa, which lost iK.

Among them were the International Paper stocks. Amer. stocks. National Lead stocks and the Rub- Der goods stocks. In American I.inseed pfd and United States Rubber pfd. the gains had reached about q points.
 There was a large buying of Burlington for cash, which was apparently connected with the fact of the proposition for tbc deal being conditional upon tho deposit of at least two-thrds of the capitoI stock on or before May 20. The beginning of the machinists' strike and fears of a spread of labor troubles was the depressing

 Whitely.
 New York; May 20.-The movement or prices In the stock market were of more normal character than for some time. Early London advices were irregular as far as prices went for Americans, and the orders emanating from Europe were on the selling side rather. After the absorption of the latter our market became very steady and since the general reports barring on business conditions were favorable, railway earnings large and crop reports good, the desire to become interested in stocks grew larger.
 For the time being the low priced secur- ities, showing good earning capacity are the fayorite ones on the part of the outside public, and as far us we can learn they are backed In their judgment by the financial institutions and banks making loans on se- curities, which later make close discern ments as to relative values, high or low.
 The machinists' strike was somewhat Of a deterrent in to-days market, but strikes originating under ruling conditions are all indication of good business, and In our opinion must meet with an early adjudica- tion of dissentments.
 Eastbound shipments are very large and almost beyond precedence.
 Money Is dull but easy, at the same time this should not he the incentive for q re newed wild speculation because before very long return flow for crop moving purposes must take place. E

 Wheat is acting with better undertone, more an actual demand than increased spec ulatton.
 Cotton is entirely neglected, but offers more chances for improvement than any other commercial commodity.
 With the advent of the last hour a decid- ed lethargy set in in the stock market. Prices gave way for the high priced. or so considered high priced securities, while the medium priced properties held up mote than well. but the whole list was more or less influenced by the rumor that Union Pa citic would issue bonds for the interest In the Burlington control. and the whole list suffered simultaneously on the decline in the Union Pacific stock and the final close was easy throughout.
