King Edwards Death Is Blow to the
Cause Of Peace.

Plymouth, May 12.-Andrew Car
negie, who arrived here today on the
steamer Adriatic expressed deep re-
gret at the death of King Edward. 1t

cause of peace throughout the world.
The British people, however. he added.
ought to congratulate themselves on
having such successor as King
George who was certain to maintain
in a worthy manner his lofty position.
Whenever he had met him. the former
Prince of Wales had always impressed
him as taking a deep and sensible in
terest in public affairs. The Prince
was specially solicitous for the well
fare of the masses. while Queen Mary
was noted not only for the extent of
her work. but for extreme wisdom in
management.

sion on Grand Scale.

London. May 12.-From a life of
comparative ease and retirement,
King George suddenly finds himself
one of the hardest worked officers in
the kingdom. In addition to spending
considerable time daily at Bucking
ham Palace, comforting his widowed
mother. he has to attend to multifa-
rious duties connected with receiving
arranging the difficult details of the
lying in-state and the funeral.
Seven O'Clock each morning finds
His Majesty already at his desk in
Marlborough House, to reply to the
innumerable messages of coincidence
and to receive his ministers and Off
Gals who have to do with the obse-
quies. Today he had long special in
tcrvicw with John Burns. president
OF the local government board. The
afternoon lie spent with the Queen
mother, and in the evening he went to
the station to meet and escort the
King of Denmark to Buckingham Pal
ace.
Ex-President Roosevelt, who has been
named as special envoy of the United
King, will be presented to King George
soon after his arrival in London on Mon

ity with the wish of the King as ex-
pressed to Whitelaw Reid, the American
ambassador Mr. Roosevelt, as special

visiting monarchs in the funeral process
sion, and will also attend the burial at
Windsor.
The lying-in-State involves a great ad
dtion to the work of arranging the pro-
gram for the funeral, all the details of

of the House of Lords and the House of

public houses in London should be clos
ed while the procession is passing.
The Queen mother herself has been ex-
ceedingly busy since the death of the
King. She has received great num-
Der of visitors, who have been prIvilcg-
ed to enter the death chamber. These
included besides NEST of the members
of the cabinet and the leaders of the
Opposition many ambassadors and other
officials connected with the court, and
prominent men who were the intimate
friends of Edward VII
A note of discord in the universal

WHOLESALE BRIBERY CHARGED
one-third Of Voters In Adams County
May Be Dlsfranchised.

Manchester, o., Dec. p. - Fully
one-third of the vote Of Adams coun-
ty at the recent election was tam
pered with by bribers,' said Judge
A. z. Blair OF Portsmouth. AS the
outgrowth of charges that numerous
voters were corrupted, l40 men in
two townships of this county have
already been indicted for accepting
bribes for turning their votes in the
way desired by the bribers.
According to the court the cases
which are brought will be vigorously
prosecuted It Is understood that the
bribing was done by the use OF
money, and besides whatever other
penalty may be imposed, tnose con
victed are subject to disfranchise'
ment. The court has indicated that
all found guilty of selling their votes
for money will be deprived OF their
ballots for five years Should this
punishment be meted out to the l4O
now under indictment and 10 a large
Rumber of others whose cases are
thought to be the subject of present
investigation, there would be a big
change in future political results. Ii
is rumored that in the recent elec
tion money was literally spent.
