thusiasm and ceremony, but sorrow for
the death OF Christian, the Ninth, is the
predominatng sentiment The over
whelming grief of the immediate men,
! bers of this remarkable united family is
reflected in only slightly lesser degree
in every home in Copenhagen.
Throughout the earlier part of the day
the lugubrious toling or bells. the BOOM
ing of minute guns. the universal evil
dences OF mourning and the stagnation Of
business, even amid the strangely con-
trasting acclaims for the new king, told
strongly of the deep feeling Of the people
OF Denmark for the head of the nation.
whose remarkable career had ended SO
suddenly.
In chamber Of the Ar1alenborg Pal
ace the body of the King lies in tho
modest bed in which he breathed his
last. The door of the chamber is guarded
by the Kings adjutants as guard OF
honor.
Following the wishes of King Christian,
the funeral will be attended with little
ceremony.
The burial will take place in the Cath
edral of Roskilde.. beside Queen Louise,
in the chapel of Frederick the Fifth.
King Haakon of Norway: Queen Alex

Frederick the Eighth was proclaimed
King at noon to-day in Amalienborg
Square. in front OF the palace. The cere-
mony lasted only a few minutes. The
premier, NJ. Christensen. appeared on the
balcony of the palace and announced to
the $1,000 persons assembled below the
death of King Christian the Ninth and
the accession of his eldest son.
The premier then called for cheers for
King Frederick the Eighth. The new
ruler of Denmark Joined the premier on
the balcony and, in short speech. de-
clared that he would rule in accordance
with the example set him by his father,
and trusted that the same accord be
tween the king and the nation would con-
tinue as heretofore. His Majesty con-
cluded with calling for cheers for the
fatherland.
King Frederick received warm-hearted
greeting from the assembled crowd,
whose cheers mingled enthusiastically
with the national anthem.

the condolences of President Roosevelt
