SPECULATIoNs AS TO THE NEW
REIGN

Everywhere tonight the one topic of
conversation was what would happen
under the new reign. Much interest
was evidenced in the way in which the
enormous fortune of the dead queen
would be distributed, the general no.
tion being that Osborne house would
go 70 Princess Beatrice and that she and
Prmcess Christian would come into a
comiderable portion of Victoria's s
wealth.
The probability that King Edward
VIII take up a practically permanent
residence in Buckingham palace was
much canvassed. This is a question
doners. Queen Victoria's preference
for Balmoral castle and Osborne house
has been complaint of long standing
in the metropolis; and it is hoped that
the new reign will see a change in this
respect. The presence OF the court at
London would give a brightness and
gaiety which have been absent.
Not until Queen Victoria has been
laid to rest beside the prince consort
at Frogmore, will the theatres or music
halls reopen. Moreover: business will
come to a practical standstill. The
music in the hotels and public places
has ceased. Fashionable resorts were
empty, and very few of the nightly
hibitues were in evidence. The ST.
restaurants had already discarded al
Turing colors for sombre black.
Americans who have passed through
great national calamities may recall
the crepe-draped buildings and ma
tional houses, but they can ill-conceive,
since the death of Lincoln, any such
expression of gloom as has already
fallen on the United Kingdom. Mari
borough house, so long the home of the
new monarch; Buckingham palace
where Queen Victoria made her last
stay in London, and ST. James palace
the residence of SO many former mon
archs, were all black and deserted
Sentries in black overcoats predomi-
nate.
Shortly before midnight an official
announcement was issued calling par
Lament to assemble at o'clock to-
morrow "wednesday afternoon to en-
able members of the house of lords and
house Of commons to take the oath of
allegiance to King Edward VII.
The privy council will meet in London
today and the proclamation Of the king
will occur thereafter at all places re-
quired by custom. The king will come
to London to preside over the council

London, January 22.--This evening
there were few visible signs IN

people within doors. No large crowds
gathered anywhere. The shops closed
as soon as the bells began to toll, and
the blinds of the Mansion house
were drawn as soon as the
message from the prince Of Wales wac
received by the lord mayor.

THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON
Cablegrams of Coincidence Flags O
Government Buildings HaIf.Mast

Washington, January 22.-Four days
of anxiety had in a large measure pre-
pared official Washington for the news
which was flashed across the cable this
afternoon Of the death of the queen Of
England.
All was in readiness for the execu-
ton of the formalities which are indis-
pensible to such events. While the cab
met was in session, the president and
his advisers were in constant receipt
of all the news which came from Os-
borne house. When the end came, it
found appropriate messages of condo
lence framed and orders ready for half
masting the flags over the executive
department, and carrying out the usual
formalities. The half-masting OF the
national ensign has been done rarely on
the occasion of the funeral of some
great worlds ruler, but never before
in the case of the death of monarch.
Secretary Hay upon being assured
through the physicians certificate, as
furnished him by the Associated Press,
Of the demise of Queen Victoria,
promptly cabled the following mes
sage to Ambassador Choate at London:
Department of State, January %.
"Choate, Ambassador, London:
You will express to Lord Lansdowne
the profound sorrow of the government
of the people Of the United States at
the death Of the queen and the deep
sympathy we feel with the people of
the British empire in their aff1iction:

The Squire was even then man some

caster Grays and other Confederate
troops met the colOred regiment in bat
tie and captured many of the latter and
the Colonel commanding them. The out
RACES Of these troops during their career
guaranteed them little mercy at the

were roughly handled. When passing
