Preparations Already Under Way for
His Coronation.
London, Jan. 23.--At the office of the
lord chamberlain, at st. James palace:
of the city remembrance, at the
Guild hall, and at the College Of Her
aids, the officials were busy Tuesday,
even before the deatkgaf the queen was
announced, preparing Tor the formali-
ties which will attend the proclaiming
Of new ruler of the United Kingdom
and India. All the ancient gazettes,
court circulars and other papers which
describe the ceremonial of 1887 had
been taken from the libraries, that the
officials may familiarize themselves
with the forms of pageantry whereby
a sovereign is proclaimed. The city re-
membrancer said:
1T will depend on the pleasure of the
new monarch to decide how far the an
Gent customs will be modified to suit
modern methods; but in a country where
presidents are so firmly adhered to as
England 1t may be anticipated that we
shall follow closely on the acts which
prevailed when the queen ascended the
throne. The privy council, which is
very idTBt DOuyt VIII meet at once at
st. James palace, where the form of
proclamation declaring that We etc,
with one voice and consent of tongue and
heart declare and proclaim the high,
mighty Prince Albert Edward etc, who,
by the death of the monarch, has become
our only lawful and right liege, etc.
This proclamation will give the new
title the king may assume. bat this Is
not yet announced to US The proclama-
ton will then be sent to the Heralds
college and the following day the earl

troops, will proceed from the palace, clad
in their splendid surcOats, and proceed

the proclamation. Proceeding down the
Strand to Temple Bar a halt will again
be made to demand an entrance into the
city to proclaim the king There the lord

will form a great procession and when
the earl marshars party comes just
within the city boundary the prOclama-
ton will be read again and the procession

side to the Royal exchange, where SIM

sole Topic of Conversation.
Everywhere the one topic OF CONVEX
sation is what will happen under the
new reign. Much interest was evinced
in the way in which the enormous for
tune of the dead queen would be dis
tributed, the general notion being that
Osborne house would go to Princess
Beatrice and that she and Princess
Christian would come into a consider
able portion of Victoria's wealth. The
probability that King Edward will
take up a practically permanent resi-
dence in Buckingham palace was much

Iowa City, Jan. 22.-One of the pro-
iected enterprises which win be
sought by the business men of Iowa
City this spring will be an electric
line from this place to Williamsburg,
in Iowa county. This road will not
only be an enterprise OF the business
of this city, but also of the town of
Williamsburg and the residents of the
excellent farming community along
the proposed route. Plans are in con-
temptation to raise the money neces-

and its equipment by means of loeaI
capital and enough assurances have
already been obtained which will war

prosperous farming communities in
this state and such connecting line
will surely have splendid patronage.

of Winchester and the rector of Whip
bingham read prayers tor those in ex-
tremis. Happily the queen was able to
recognize those around her. They came
to her bedside, but the physicians had
warned them against attempts to
TO speak to her. Naturally the family,
while recognizing the claim for public
information, insists that the details of
the events around the deathbed shall
be sacred for those present, and i'm
posed the strictest secrecy on the whole
household.
Announced to the Watchers.
When the four p. m. bulletin an
nounced that the queen was sinking,
all the watchers at the gates of Os-
borne house made up their minds to
remain to the end. The cold was in
tense, and few favored ones sought
shelter in the royal lodge, just inside,
where they waited in absolute silence.
The telephone bell rang at 1904 p. m,
but before a royal servant had time
to take the message, the chief of the
queens police emerged from the dark
ness and, with barred head, said:
Gentlemen, the queen passed away
ut $3.50"
All present reyerently uncovered,
and then shrill whistles and the ring
ing of the bells of the bicycles in wait
ing were the signals for messengers
TO race TO Cowes with the news. In
a few moments the place was deserted.
Simultaneously mounted messengers,
on white horses, dashed from Osborne.
On their arrival at Cowes the CORE
spondents found the news known both
at East and West Cowes Is minutes
before it had been announced TO those
in waiting at the gates of Osborne
house The streets were already filed

queen is said 10 have 0id farewell, IN
feeble monosyllable, to her family as
sembled at her bedside at midday. She
firse recognized the prince Of Wales, to
whom she spoke few words OF great
moment; then Emperor William and
the others present fled past and heard
whispered good-by. All those in the
bedroom were in tears.
The prince of Wales was very much
affected when the doctors at last in
formed him that bis mother had
breathed her last. Emperor William,
himself deeply affected, did his best
to minister comfort to his sorrow
stricken uncle, whose new dignity he
was the first to acknowledge.
From all parts of the world there are

 GENERAL WHEELER Alabama Warrior Entertained By Alumni of Academy He
 Attended Years Ago.

New York, April 15-The alumni of the Episcopal Academy of Connecticut lo- cated at Cheshire, that state, where Gen. eral Jos. Wheeler was educated, gave a dinner and reception to the General at the Waldorf-Astoria tonight.
 The first speaker was Professor C. A. Lindsley, General Wheeler's instructor at Cheshire. He spoke briefly, relating anecdotes in the generals school life. The remarks prepared by John Tyler, re- spending to tho toast, '"rho Chum," were read in his absence. He said General Wheeler would be President of the United States if the votes of the Cheshire boys could put him there.
 Dr. Arnold W. Cattlin responded to the toast, "The Man" He spoke of the love General Wheeler found among his soldiers for himself, saying, he wisely and ten derly used his, authority and absolutely controlled his men by love rather than fear"
 Others to speak were Col. Franklin Bartlett on The Citizen;" Gen. Stewart L. Woodford The Statesman;" Prof F. D .Woodbury. ''The Soldier;" the Hon Delancey Nicoll. The General" and Major General Wheeler himself on 'The Cheshire Cadet"
 After a passing reference to his school days at Cheshire, General Wheeler de- livered an address on the progress of the United States during the last decade.

IMMERSION WILL.
Appeal Is Filed by the Only Daughter
 of the Deceased.

New York, April 15.-Marsha1 Vanwin- kle. attorney, has filed an appeal in Jer- sey City from the action of Surrogate James Lilisin admitting to probate the will of the late Mrs. McPherson. widow of Senator John R. McPherson. The ap- peal is filed in behalf of Mrs. Dr. Joseph Muir, only daughter of the deceased, who contests the will by which she is to re- ceive only the life income of the estate.
 The appeal as filed Is of omnibus char acter and will permit of almost any kind of testimony to set the document aside>- Such as undue influence, lack of testa- mentary capacity and ths like. It will be claimed that while Mrs. McPherson was not reconciled to the marriage of her daughter, Edla. and that while she did intend to disinherit any issue result ing from the marriages she also intended to insert a clause fin the will that if Mrs. Muir was ever widowed or legally sepa- rated from her husband and again con- tracted marriage the estate was to go to the children of this marriage.
 This intention is said to have been fully set forth in a letter sent Mrs. McPherson to her daughter a few days before her death. As no such clause appears in the will Mrs. Muir will contend that the will does not represent the wishes of her mother regarding the distribution of the estate, the value of which is estimated at $500. 900. By Mrs. McPherson's will the bulk of the property at her daughters death was to go to Yale University for the purpose of aiding poor students.
