The crowd outside was an ever changing
one. the early arrivals consisting OF arti-
sans who stopped for brief moment
on their way to work.
Later in the morning women of all
classes commenced to flock through Green
and st. James parks towards the palace.
A few carriages and automobiles drove
up with diplomats and other corners who
were soon followed by the whole official
and social world of London.
When the morning bulletin which long
before had been given to the press, and
circulated in special editions, was posted
on the fence. the square was crowded
so that police reserves had to be called
to make passage for the moving traffic.
The showers, which were accompanied
by sharp wind, only drove a few away
and it looked as though the palace square
would be filled the night long, until the
police moved those who had gathered off
with the news that no further bulletins
would be forthcoming Only groups of
reporters remained.

THE new KING.
George Fredk, Ernest A.
bert, Prince Of Wales,
Second Son Of King Edward
And Queen Alexandra.
Born June 3, I865...Became Heir
Apparent in 1892.

! George Frederick Ernest Albert,
Prince of Wales, who now becomes
King. is the second son of King Ed
ward and Queen Alexandra, and was
born at Marlborough House on June
5. 1865, II months after the birth of
his older brother, the late duke of
Clarence He and his brother entered
the navy together as cadets, and he
spent two years on the Britannia. Then
he started on a three-year voyage
around the world, sailing on the Bac-
chante.
In 1892, when his brother died he
became heir apparent and took his seat
in the House of Lords as Duke of York.
In May, 1893, his engagement was all
nounced to Princess Victoria May Of
Teck and they were married on July
is, 1898. Six children We're born to
them: Edward Albert. Albert Freder-
lex, Victoria Alexandra, Henry Will
liam, George Edward. and John
Charles. The Prince became Duke of
I Cornwall when his father took the
throne and soon thereafter started on
4 tour of the colonies. He opened the
first Parliament of the Commonwealth
of Australia.
In celebration of his safe return
from the tour he was entertained by
the London Corporation at Guild Hall
Dee. ;. 1901, on which occasion he de-
livered his WelI-knoWn advice to Eng
land to Wake up" In the fall of
1908 he went to India and when he re-
turned there was another celebration.
On this occasion he said that THE
task of governing India will be made
the easier if we on our part infuse in
to it a wider element of sympathy"
His Indian trip was generally regard
ed as not Il success from a political
viewpoint.
In 1908 he visited Canada to attend
the celebration at Quebec and on that
occasion met Vice President Fair
banks.
The prince is less democratic than
was his father and does not have such
an ardent love for sports. 1t has been
predicted. therefore, that after his ac-
cession to the throne the court gaiety
which was always a feature during
Edwards reign will be less marked.

A New Political
Situation to Face

London. May 6.-Public opinion will
doubtless demand that the Liberals pro-
gram for reforming the House of Lords.
with a possible appeal to the crown to
make the most important decision SOW
ereign has been called upon to make In
many years, shall be laid aside for long
time. They would be opposed to thrust
ing upon King Edwards successor at the
very beginning of his reign. when he was
first graphing with important routine
work, question so vital to the future of
the empire
Through the nine years of King Ed
wards reight tariff reform versus free
trade, which was inaugurated by the IA
nous Chamberlain speech in May, 1903,
has been continuously under discussion.
The close Of the year 1902 saw the end of
the long Salisbury administration and
the accession of Balfour to the premier
ship. On his accession to the throne be-
fore the privy council. the King an
nounced his intention to walk in his
mothers footsteps but while Queen
Victoria lived almost life Of retirement,
interesting herself mainly in home az
fairs. the Kings influence throughout
his reign had been devoted more to inter-
national affairs, by visits to foreign
courts and personal action of legislative
character in various directions. making
every possible effort to bring the empire
into the friendliest relations with other
countries, and his efforts were so sue
cessfu that he has been universally
known as Edward the Peacemaker."
Politically King Edwards reign has
been chiefly notable for the Inaugural
ton of new era of social legislation
for the benefit Of people. which followed
the coming of the Liberals into power
again after a long Conservative regime.
The reign, however closes at period
of great political unrest with large sec
ton of the community vigorously opposed
to the new Liberal policy Of encroach-
ment on the privileges of the landed and
aristocratic classes, and with heated
questions of the constitution Of the House
of Lords. tariff reform and home rule
still unsettled.
