FAVORABLE VERDICT ON
LATE KING FROM NATION,

London. May 6-Full Of honors. but not
yet full of years. Edward VII. one OF the
greatest Kings that ever sat upon the
English throne, has followed England's
greatest Queen TO the grave after a reign
of but little more than nine years.
When he came to the throne there was
a natural tendency on the part Of the
nation TO look back and wonder whether
the high level which had been gradually
reached and sustained in public and ma
tional life during his mothers long reign
would be further maintained The nation
to-day gives verdict which leaves no
doubt of its favorable opinion.
His touching declaration when he took
the oath before the privy council that he
desired and intended to rule wisely and
well has been made good, and the genuine
sorrow with which his loss is deplored
Is a tribute to his subjects recognition
OF the fact that they and the world will
long remember his work for peace among
the nations and the striking results he
achieved therein by his tact and bon
homie.
Far more than his mother. he was init
mately associated with the social life of
the country without neglecting the i'm
mense demands made on his energy by
business Of state, and II is not too much
to say that no English King had ever a
deeper hold on the affections Of his sub
jects.
His loss TO the nation at the moment OF
a serious constitutional crisis awakes the
boding fears of all who have the welfare
and dignity Of Great Britain at heart
His vast knowledge OF men. his singular
insight into affairs and his Incompatible
judgment were assets which the nation
could little afford to lose. 1t may we'll
be that the burden Of anxiety in this con-
nection FASTENED his end.
AS Victoria's last hours were crowded
by the dark shadows Of the South Afri-
can war. so King Edwards in his closing
days were harassed by fierce constitu
tional conflict which he bequeaths for So
luton to young man far less acauaint-
ed than his father with matters of state.

ALL SOCIAL PLANS
ARE ABANDONED
London Looked Forward to
GayeSt Season of Years.

London. May THE sudden death OF
the King found England face to face
with one Of the most interesting dramatic
situations in lis national life and political
history. While London. in particular, has
been contemplating the inauguration Of
the social season, which promised 20 rival
In brilliancy and eclat any since the sec
ond jubilee OF Queen Victoria, there was
hardly a part Of the empire which was
not hoping 20 have the opportunity 20
welcome some royal visitor this year.
Two OF the most noteworthy instances
we're the inaugurations Of the Union Par
lament In South Africa by the Prince
and Princess Of Wales. while the Duke
Of Connaught was 10 attend the national
exhibition in Canada
At least one son Of the Prince Of Wales
was hoping to inaugurate his practical
career as "A sailor on a voyage like his
father enjoyed years ago. The King and
Queen and Prince and Princess Of Wales
had been contemplating a busy social
season. II is well known that the prince
had mapped a programme of royal du-
ties which would have given him far
greater opportunities than he had en-
joyed hitherto. both Of acquiring expert
ence and of familiarizing all sections with
his personality.
Analysing his outlook in detail. it can
be stated that the number OF royal and
distinguished visitors intending to visit
here during the summer included nearly
all the sovereigns Of Europe They VIII
come, but il will be 10 a funeral. and not
to a fete.
The King and the Prince of Wales
planned to attend innumerable events OF
a social. military. and sporting nature.
| The Kings death will cancel all these
engagements. Two courts were TO be
held in June, but they Will now be aban-
doned, because the court enters upon
three months mourning
There is much speculation as 70 the e.
/ feet the Kings death will have upon the
arrangements for the reception of Col
/ Roosevelt. who is due TO arrive mere on
May l6. All the arrangements for him to
/ be entertained at the palace by royalty
| must be abandoned. His majesty's death
! however, will not interfere with Roose-
velts Romanes lecture at oxford. II will
/ however. probably cause him TO cancel
most Of his private engagements, save
those to visit intimate friends
! 1t will cause tie abandonment OF all
| dinners and luncheons arranged at which
! Roosevelt intended TO meet the leaders OF
political parties. Until Col. Roosevelt
himself is heard from, nobody knows
what curtailment of the plans of his visit
outside his engagement with royalty will
be made by his dictation. The Kings
death may give the former President ar
opportunity to represent the United States
at his majesty's funeral

household. In rapid sequence, all the
followed the Prince Of Wales TO the
palace, until by 7:So. practically every
relative Of the King now in London had
gathered there.
The Archbishop OF Canterbury had
been at the palace three times during
the day. while Attorney General Sir VII
liam Robson also come in answer 20 an
urgent summons. Winston Churchill
home secretary. was summoned by a
special messenger.
Just before s o'clock, the Archbishop
Of Canterbury left the palace 20 attend
a meeting Of the Christian Social
Union. where he said: Il ask you as
Christians to stand for minute in ST.
lence and lift up your prayers 70 God
for our sovereign. who is hanging this
moment between life and death"
At about S.45 O'Clock, the Bishop Of
Ripon. clerk OF the closet, left the pal
ace accompanied by a LADY The Duke
of Flies carriage left shortly afterward.
Al 9:3O o'clock, the Archbishop of Canter-
bury returned to the palace and all the
members Of the royal family, except the
Duchess Of Albany, we're in attendance.
The absence Of Lord Rnollys. who had
gone home TO dine. seemed to suggest
that there was no immediate danger.
For some time before death came the
King was unconscious, lying in a coma
tOse state for a considerable time. He
had slight rally into consciousness be-
tween 9 and 10 o'clock II is understood
that the King sent for Sir Ernest CasseI
yesterday morning and chatted with him
for ten minutes.
