AT ST. JAMES

LONDON, January 23.-The King
Emperor, who quietly left Osborne this
morning, entered the capital at 1885
p. m. today and proceeded to Marl-
borough House. Dense crowds, begin

tire route to Victoria station from an
early hour until the Mall and the front
of buckingham Palace were especially
lthronged. All along the former, from
the palace to Marlborough House, car
riages filed with ladies stood as If for
a drawing room, except that the coach
men, footmen and occupants were all
dressed in mourning. The police pre-

patiently for hours to greet their King

ed in the bulletins are too fresh to need
repetition. At the lodge gates the
watchers waited nervously. Suddenly
along the drive from the house came
horseman who cried, THE Queen is
deadl" as he dashed through the
crowds.
Then down the hillside rushed myr-
lad of messengers passing the fateful
bulletin from one to another Soon the
surrounding country knew that a King
ruled over Great Britain. The local
inhabitants walked as if in a dream
through the streets of Cowes, but they
did not hesitate to stop to drink the
health of the new monarch.
