London, Eng.-The formal proc
7amation announcing the accession of
King George v. was publicly read at
st. James palace here. May 20 has
been definitely determined upon as the
date for the funeral of King Edward.
The ceremonies proclaiming the ac-
.cession of George were as follows:
Sharply at the stroke of nine in the
morning four heralds arrayed in
medieval uniforms of scarlet heavily
braided with gold, mounted the bal
'cony of Friary court at St James
palace and blew fanfare through
their long silver trumpets.
The officers of arms, chief of whom
is the Duke of Norfolk, the hereditary
earl marshal and chief butler of Eng
land, then took their places on the bal
-cony forming the great heraldic COM
pany. None wore mourning, this hav-
ing been removed for the occasion.

fare. The blast hardly had died away
when the bands of the Coldstream
Guards, which had taken up a position
in the square, struck up God Save the
King"
AS the national anthem was conclud-
ed the first gun of the battery in st.
James park fired royal salute and
the people in the square and streets
at the same moment took up the re-
frain God Save the King" This was
most impressive.
The popular demonstration at an
end, the Earl Marshal and his attend
ants proceeded to the ambassadors S
court, whence they drove to Charing
Cross and thence to the city of Lon
don to read the proclamation to the
people at the designated points. The
route to the city proper was lined with
1000 troops, while at the places at
which the procession stopped and re-
peated the ceremony troops and
Horse Guards were stationed.

ing. Suddenly he opened his eyes,
looked at the queen with glance of
recognition and tried to lift her hand.
The effort was too much. The eyelids
dropped and so without pang or
eremor he died.
The queen remained nearly an hour
beside the body before she consented
to go to her own apartments and re-
turned several times during the night
to the body. Sunrise found her again
beside the bed.
Lie in State in Westminster.
King Edwards lying in state in
Westminster hall will furnish the
most splendidly impressive spectacle
ever witnessed in the present genera
ton. The body when embalmed will
be placed in lead shell, this in a
wooden shell and both in an outer
coffin of massive oak hewn from a
tree freshly felled in Windsor forest.
The workmen of Windsor have begun
fashioning the coffin which will be per-
fectly plain with silver plate in the
center of the lid bearing the kings
name and titles in Latin. For two
days or perhaps longer the body thus
enclosed will lie in the throne room,
which will be converted into a
chapelle ardente, with the windows
shuttered and the walls draped in
black and silver. Tall tapers will sur.
round the coffin which will rest under
a purple pail used only for royal
funerals, while a guard will be fur.
nished by the kings regiment, the
Grenadiers. This lying in state is for
the benefit of foreign royalties unable
to arrive sooner. Very few outside
persons will be admitted.
Public to View Remains.
From the palace the body will be
conveyed on gun carriage to West,
minister hall via the Mall and placed
near the center of the historic apart
ment near the spot where Charles
was reputed to have stood when he
was condemned to death. For three
days at least the public will be admit
ted from six o'clock in the morning
until sunset, entering through the
palace yard, passing the coffin and
leaving the hall near St. Margaret's
church. From Westminster the body
will move through London to Padding
ton station, three mile route, which
will be lined with 10000 troops. Their
it will be entrained for Windsor.
The arrangements are not confirmed
officially and perhaps may be changed
in detail, but the public lying in state
Is determined by the nation. George
V. favored funeral like that of hi!
grandmother, but when representa-
tions were made on all sides of the
overwhelming desire of the nation tt
pay tribute by passing before the
body. he consented to make this con
, cession.

In company with the Duke of New
colonies, the young prince came to
Canada. He was received with un-
precedented manifestations of loyalty
by the people of the eastern prov
inces of what is now the federated
Dominion of Canada. The effect of
his visit was particularly marked up
on the French communities along the
banks of the st. Lawrence river.
He came into the United States at
Detroit, but upon crossing into Amer
lean territory he dropped his royal
prerogatives and assumed his inferior
title of Baron Renfrew.s
The English correspondents who
accompanied him were severe in
their criticisms of the American peo-
pie who insisted upon hailing him as
| the Prince of Wales. He visited Chi
cago, which was then a small city OF
only 100000 inhabitants; he stopped
at Dwight, ILL.,, for few days shoot
ing; went to st. Louis, Cincinnati
Pittsburg. Richmond, Washington
Baltimore, Philadelphia, New Yorh
and Boston.
| In Washington he was met at the
railway station by Gen. Lewis Cass
| secretary of state, and was taken ia
the White House to be the guest oi
the president. The great event of his
visit to the United States was his pill
grimage, in company with President
J Buchanan, to Mount Vernon.

.ONE OF WORLDS
GREAT DIPLOMATS
KING EDWARD HAS REiGNED
OVER ENGLAND's DESTINY
FOR NINE YEARS.
FIRST SON OF QUEEN VICTORIA
Dead Monarch Was Shown Great
Honor When He Visited the Unit
ed States as Prince of Wales
Really Ruled Country.

London, Eng.-Edward VII. of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland, and of the British dominions
beyond the seas, king, defender of the
faith. Emperor of India. was born at
buckingham palace on November 8,
1S41, the first son of Queen Victoria
and the prince consort. He was bap-
tized and christened Albert Edward
in st. Georges chapel, Windsor, on
January 25, 1912. King Frederick Will
liam of Prussia came to England to
be godfather to the infant Prince of
Wales. That Prussian kings son mar
ried King Edwards eldest sister, the
princess royal, and she was the
mother of the present Kaiser William
ii.
Takes Throne in 1901.
Edward, Prince of Wales, came to
the throne upon the death of his
mother January %, 1901, under the
name of Edward VII. He was then
60 years old and, as the Prince of
Wales, had long held a position of
commanding social prominence
throughout the world.
He had cultivated the social graces,
he was the arbiter in the world OF
fashion, and he was known as the first
gentleman of Europe.
He had laid more cornerstones,
planted more trees, presided at more
banquets and made more conventional
speeches than any other man alive,
But all the time he was the Prince OF
Wales. and his individuality was OBJ,
scured by the shadow of the throne
upon which sat his regal and imperial
mother.
Has Ruled and Reigned.
Therefore, in spite of his long ca
reer as Prince of Wales, Edward VII
as king and emperor, has furnished
the political world with one of the
greatest surprises of modern history

sad news. 1t is one of the things of

for long period of years had the
privilege of the friendship of his
majesty. Apart from his splendid quail

of him perhaps most of all as a keen

the keenest personal interest in all
that was done to gain victory for En-

Partial to American Women.

King Edward was particularly par
tial to American women because they
interested him with their clever talk
and bright manners. Wherever he
was. if American women were in the
party, they always came in for good
deal of notice from his majesty. The
American women mourn a true friend.
Many girl in America will remem-
ber the kings gracious smile, for he
seemed to keep an extra winning
smile for the American debutant as
she courtesied before him on the occa-
sion of her presentation at court.

KIna's First official Act.

King Georges first official act was
to appoint Earl Darlington as Lord
Great Chamberlain in succession to
the Marquis of Cholmondeley. Lord
Darlington was one of the Oldest and
closest friends of King Edward, espec-
daily in their younger days, and is also
the personal friend OF the new king.
King Georges new court appointments
are awaited with the keenest curl
-osity. He will retain some of his
fathers personal encourage, including,
IT is believed, John Ward, who mar
Gied Ambassador Reid's daughter.

monarch of modern days, has ruled as
well as reigned.
The British people will not brook
the interference of the crown in party
politics, and Edward has respected
the tradition which prohibits the king
from active participation in internal
political controversies.
But from the moment that he be-
came king, Edward took an in
fluential part in the foreign affairs of
his realm.
When he came to the throne Eng
land was engaged in a war with the
South African republics. 1t was the
most expensive and disastrous con-
flict England has ever experienced.
Were With the Beers.
Not only was it gigantic task to
defeat the Beers, but England found
that in that war she had little SYM
pathy among the powers. The people
of continental Europe and of the
United States were for the most part
strong partisans of the Beers. Ed
| ward was not blind to this condition
| of affairs.
| torious conclusion, and the South
Africans have been granted consti-
tuition which makes them one of the
| great self-governing and equal nations
of the British empire. During those
days of trouble and bloodshed King
Edward looked forward to what seems
to be the inevitable conflict between
England and Germany. With that
possible clash always in mind, the
king labored assiduously to build up
friendships in all parts of the world.
Alliance With Japs.
The Japanese alliance, the Franco
Anglican entente cordiale, the matri.
monial alliance with Spain, the secret
treaty with Portugal, the increased
British influence in Turkey, the cor.
diality between England and Russia
and the Strengthening of the ties be
tween Great Britain and the Scanda
navian nation are the results in large
part of the skillful diplomacy of Ed
ward VII.
Recently the king undertook to use
his skill in diplomacy to prevent a
great internal party battle upon the
budget when the house of lords and
the house of commons were arrayet
in direct opposition.
1t is pretty we'll known that for the
greater part of his life King Ed
ward has been, at heart, Liberal
Yet it is to be doubted if he sympa
thized with the radicalism of the
present government.
Popular on Continent.
Edward has accomplished tht
greater part of his diplomatic worl
by direct contact with the people o
the continental European nations. HI
was "the uncle of all Europe" and h,
tried to be like the good uncl,
of the fairy story. He spent much o
his time on the continent, where h
was extremely popular
1t is interesting to recall his onl
visit to America. When he was
lad Of 10 he was sent by his roya
mother to Canada to lay the founda
tion stone of the parliament house a
Ottawa.
The Canadians had asked that tn
queen pay them visit. This wa
deemed inexpedient and the youn
Prince of Wales was sent to repre-
sent the queen. When the visit wa
announced President James BuchaI
an, on the Fourth of July, 1860, a6
dressed an invitation to Queen VictC
ria asking that her son also visit tn
United States.

that he is capable of exercising in
