Official Proceedings.

Official Proceedings.
In all probability the course of pro-
ceedings followed on the death Of
Queen Victoria nine years ago will be
adhered to in the present instance, save
that the serious illness of King Ed
ward necessitated a postponement OF
the coronation ceremonies. On that
occasion, as on this, the Prince of
Wales was in the death chamber. A
meeting of the privy council was call
ed at st. James palace the next morn
ing, at which orders were issued for
the official proclamation of the new
ruler. Public announcement Of the
death of the queen was made by the
male members of the royal family, the
archbishop of Canterbury, who is head
of the Established Church of England;
the privy councillors, the lord mayor,
the aldermen and other officials of the
city of London. All these persons and
officials declared the succession to have
come to "the high and mighty Prince
Albert Edward, our only lawful and
rightful liege lord, Edward VII" The
following afternoon the houses of par
lament met to receive the oaths of al
legiance and supremacy.
At the meeting Of the privy council
the king made a brief speech, announc-
ing his acceptance of the name Ed
ward VII. which was published in the
Official Gazette. The formal public
proclamation of the new monarch took
place at 8 o'clock on the morning fol-
lowing the taking Of the oath.

WILL TREAT COMM ERcE LAW
AND ANTITRUST MEASURE
IN ONE MESSAGE.
A CONFERENCE IS HELD
Executive Discusses Matter With Sen
ators AIdrieh and Root and Attorney
General Wiekersham, With Result
That He Revsrts to His Original Plan
Of One Communication.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Late today
after conference with Senators AL
drich and Root and Attorney General
Wickersham, President Taft decided
to revert to his original plan of COM
bining his views as to amendments to
the Interstate commerce and antitrust
laws in one message, which he will
send to congress Thursday noon.
This decision on the part of the
president Is said to be final. The
combined message makes about 5000
words. The president has been urged
by some to treat the two subjects in
separate papers and announcement
was lpade yesterday that this would
be done. The time that the messages
should go to congress has been sub
tected to frequent changes because of
various consultations that the presi-
dent desired to have. These confer
ences have been completed and so
have the messages. which. combined
in the one document. were sent to the
government printing office tonight.
AT the conclusion of the conference
between the president and Senator's AL
drich and Root 1t was announced
that the presidents proposed railroad
legislation would be given the right of
way In both senate and house. The
further assurance was given that the
proposed changes in the railroad laws
would be written in the statute books
during the session. There will be some
opposition to the rather drastic legis-
lation which the president wilr recon-
mend. but 1t will be overcome. it is
said. and the president will be sup
ported in both branches of congress.
Senators Root and Aldrich went to
the White House to discuss various
features of the legislative program for
the present session as well as the
special messages. The discussion as to
the railroad legislation being given
precedence over all other administra-
tion measures was the only definite
conclusion reached. As to the ship
subsidy. postal savings banks. changes
in conservation laws and the proposed
federal corporation act. neither sena-
tor would say as to when they would
be given consideration.
The president will transmit to con-
gress on Friday the report of the at
torncy general and all the Papers con-
nected with the CLAWS charges against
Secretary Ballinger. these papers hav-
Ing been called for In a resolution Of
fered by Senator Flint of California.

bureau. created sunshine i'm the hearts
OF local business interests today BY
declaring he would no longer oppose
the opening to settlement of the Swan
river valley. one of the most heavily
timbered and largest single tracts OF
timber in Montana. the declaration
having been made public today by DR.
Arthur Morrow, president of the CHAM
Der of commerce.
The matter has often been urged
upon Mr.. Pinchot. but he has steadily
refused to concede the point, maintain
ing that timber interests merely de-
sired to grab the timber and that there
was no demand by settlers. and also
that the. land was not adapted to
settlement by agriculturists The
letter says in part.
Il am favorable to the Immediate
listing of the areas selected. which are
not timbered. with the secretary OF
the interior for homestead entry under
the act OF June. 1908. Areas which
are heavily timbered. should In my
Judgment be cut over prior to list

OF a class Of temporary settlers who
desire timber stake rather than a
homestead. You win agree that the
