ENeLAND's NEW ROYAL HOUSE.
Edward VII. First Sovereign of the
 Line of Saxe-Coburg.

From the New York Sun.
 ''Whitaker's Almanack" the famous English year book, which is almost as well known here as in its native country, has caused some sensation by recording
 King Edward VII not as a ruler of the
 house of Hanover, but as the first Brit ish sovereign of the house of SaXe-Co- burg, thus making the late Queen Vic toria the last ruler of line which has given to the British empire six sover- eign.s
 The feeling in England Is that "Whita- kerr is almost disloyal and that the change is wrong; yet a little study of the British history shows that the almanac is entirely correct. The first change in the reigning house after the conquest came at the accession of Henry II, who claimed through his mother, the Empress Matilda. and was the first of the Plan tagenets After the wars of the roses Henry, Earl of Richmond, who claimed the crown by right of his mother, Marga- ret Beauford, great-granddaughter of John of Gaunt, became the first of the Tudors his father being originally a Welsh gentleman named Tudor.
 The Stuarts came in through a woman, the daughter of Henry VII, and did not carry on the Tudor line in name; nor did George of Hanover. when he gained the BrltlSn throne by right or ms grand mother Elizabeth, daughter of the first English Stuart, continue to represent the house of his grandfathers he was the first Hanoverian to reign In England. Each incoming house, though claiming through a daughter of its predecessor, gave its own name to its sovereigns. It is strictly correct historically, therefore, that the line should change with the death of Queen Victoria, and that the succession of foreign. Kings of Great Britain should be continued by ruler of the house of Saxe-Coburg, the name of the German house to which the father of the new King belonged. -f

Met Roosevelt.

From there the prince alone was con- ducted to the blue Nrlor. where the President was in waiting to receive him. In conformity with diplomatic etiquette the President received the royal visitor in private and without introduction. This was made necessary by the fact that there is now In the United States no rep resentative of the German nation of suf- ficiently high rank to present to the President a prince of the blood royal, a brother and present representative of the German Emperor.
 After the greetings had been extended the President led into the blue parlor and introduced him to Mrs. Roosevelt and his daughter. Miss Alice. After few words with them, the royal visitor was conducted into the green room and intro duced to the mem bers of the cabinet and their ladies. After the ceremony the fol- lowing statement was made by assay Sec retary Pearce:
 "The conversation between the Pres ident and Prince was of a purely formal nature and had no political significance further than that contained in the usual expressions of international amity and good will.''
 The party then proceeded to the east room where the members of the Princes s suite were introduced to the President The entire ceremony occupied only Sc minutes. On the party reappearing the marine played Hands Across the Sea" and with a few sharp military commands the drive to the German Embassy was begun.

MEETS
 THE PRESIDENT
Every Room in White House
 Decorated Beautifully
NO ONE PRESENTED HENRY
There Is No German In United States With High Enough Rank to Form ally Present EmperoTs Brother
 to the President.

Washington, February A.-Rerely in its history has the White House been the scene of more brilliant spectacle than today when President Roosevelt welcomed to the United States Prince Henry of Prussia Ever since the an- nouncement was made that the Prince would visit this country the arrange ments for his reception have been the subject of frequent discussion at the meetings of the cabinet, and details of the plans for the entertainment and com- fort for the royal visitor have constantly been referred to the President for sug- gestions or approval It has been the Presidents wish to avoid all ostenta- tiousness. the Prince be given a royal welcome. So far as Federal authorities control in the matter that plan has been carried out. The Prince has met the President and nothing could have been more cordial and ingenious than the Presidents greeting which was re- turned by Prince Henry in full measure.
 Special preparations were made at the White House for this event. All Of the state departments on the first floor had received much attention from the govern ment florists, but the decoration of the communicating parlors, the blue room, where the President and the prince sat and exchanged their greetings, the red parlor occupied by Mrs. and Miss Roose- velt and the green room. where there were assembled the members of the cab met and their ladies. the wife of Secre- tary Cortelyou, and a few invited guests were exquisitely beautiful
 Room Handsomely Decorated.
 The great east room where were con- ducted the prince's suite, the German Am bassodar and staff, the American officers and other prominent guests, was hand somely decorated. In these state depart ments, as elsewehre, unseemly display had been carefully avoided, but the rich furniture and draperies, the artistically arranged vases filled with great clusters of American beauty roses and other blos- sons, the evergreens and the gorgeous uniforms of the prince and his party com bined to make the scene one of excep- tional brilliancy. It was 1O;45 o'clock when the escort in cavalry column swung into the east gate and at brisk pace passed up the broad driveway to the White House Here the column broke into single ranks facing the main entrance. At the word of the commandant. the princes carriage passed the gate.
 A detachmen of marines headed by its famous band had taken place at the right of the main entrance, facing north. The first carriage contained the prince, Secretary Hay and Rear Admiral Evans. It drove up at rapid pace and as it passed under the porte coche the Marine Band struck up the German national air. which was continued until all the com pany had left their carriages. At the car riage door the prince was met by Assis- tant Secretary Pearce and the German ambassador and escorted to the east room.
