THE KING AND HIS SISTER, THE
EMPRESS EREDER

1t is no exaggeration to say that there was
a look of far more profound depression about
the House than even in those awful and trying
hours for EngIishmen when the disasters Of
Colenso and Spion Kop seemed TO make the
whole fabric Of the empire reel Many of the
members looked positively broken. They
tered the House as if illness were theirs and
as if a blow had fallen upon them.
AS THE MINISTER'S FILED IN.
The local petition at last finished the
cries ceased and there fell q sonbre and solemn
stiffness on the House when Mr.. Balfour and
the other ministers filed in. Spontaneously and
universally hats were taken off when Mr. Bal
four rose and announced that he had message
TO deliver in reference to the King. The House
Of Commons always looks its best and most
impressive when it is thus uncovered. It is the
custom for hats to be kept on. and therefore the
mere act OF uncovering heads gives TO the IA
niliar place a certain unusualness of look and
a certain solemn exaltaton. and it to-
day when Mr.. BaIfour rose Mr. BalfoUr IS not
man who ever shows much feeling: as is said
Of him by some Of his most severe critics he
has much sentiment. but feeling. To-day.
however. nobody could deny that for once Mr-
BaIfour seemed TO be moved, and It was with
something Of q break in his voice that he an
nounced the seriousness Of the Kings condition
ready performed. There was no display of feel
ing until Mr.. BaIfour came 10 the point where
he foreshado dowed the statement that the sur
geons were hopeful Of the result. It
evidence Of how keen the feeling was that he
was not allowed TO conclude his sentence.
There was an antIcipatory and big outburst Of
cheers from all parts of the House
Mr Balf0urs statement occupied but few
moments; il was followed by d few words
from Sir Henry Campbell-Bannernlan. the
leader Of the opposition and then the whole
scene was over 1t took but few moments.
and but for the general air Of the House. TO
which I have alluded. the scene was not i'm
Fressive.
The House then went on with the discussion
OF the Education bill in its many details, SOM
brely, but regularly and prosaically. as if moth
ing had occurred But there was a certain life
lessness in il all, and, as is usual when some
thing tragic is in the air. the real life Of the
House was in the lobbies and not on the floor.
The members gathered in groups and King Ed
ward was the one topic Of conversation There
was nothing but regret and sympathy; the
tragic elements Of the case broke down all bar
r:ers and men only thought Of the suffering
fellow man struck down at the moment when. If
ever the hand Of cruel fate ought 10 have
been stayed
FALSE REPORT OF THE KINGS DEATH
The excitement was brought TO a climax when
a report spread Ike wildfre that the King was
sinking and this was soon followed by a report
that his majesty was actually dead A shlVer

Mr.. Reid was seen by a representative of The
Associated Press Immediately after his visit TO
Buckingham Palace. He said:
TT is exceedingly distressing news. It IS I'M
possible 10 say more or attempt to forecast

Commander Richardson Glover naval at
tache OF the United States Embassy, said:
The suddenness II the news has simply left
us stunned I have not the least idea what
course official events Will take We are simply
waiting for an intima ton from the British au-
thorites."
Diplomatists called throughout the day at the
Foreign Office TO express their coincidence.

sentatives and some OF the special ambassadors
from a great distance will wait till the future
ARRANGEMENTS are definitely decided upon The
members OF the American Special Embassy.
