| D~AS~s huASCd tuc procession. Coming
to a standstill, the trumpeters sounded
three loud blasts, announcing the ap-
proach or the officers of the arms. The
city marshal, riding forward, challenged
the approach Of the procession with the
cry, Halt! Who goes there?"
The reply, THE officer Of arms, who
demands entrance to the city to pro-
claim his royal majesty's accession"
came from the pursuivant. The lord
mayor having been informed Of the
presence OF the royal herald, and hay-
Ing given his permission for entrance
to the city, Rouge Dragon stepped
across the boundary and handed the
chief magistrate the privy councils or
der that the proclamation be made The
throng that crowded the narrow street
stood In silence watching the proceed
ings.
The lord mayor then alighted from
his carriage and read the proclamation
and declared that "Our high and mighty
Prince George has now become our only
lawful and righteous liege lord and
George w." following those words with
the cry, God Save the King"
| The words were caught up by the
crowd and swelled to a mighty chorus
that filled the strand and Fleet street.
The ceremony was repeated at Chan
| Gerry Lane.
Queen Mother Not III.
1t was officially announced at Buck
1ngham palace at noon that the queen
mother, Alexandra, was we'll and bear
ing up bravely. This morning rumors
were current that in a paroxysm of
grief the mother Of the king had broken
a blood vessel and that her condition
was serious.
An impressive incident Sunday aft
ernoon illustrated Queen Alexandria
desire to show consideration for sub
| Jects OF every class. General Booth
sent a message thSt the Salvation Ar

palace, and Alexandra gave permission.
At o'clock large band, wearing red

and banners with scarfs of crepe,
pushed through the crowd to the pal
ace enclosure, the big iron gates were

! under the windows.
First they knelt while the leader

Queen Hears Singing.
The blinds were closely drawn, but
attendants say that Queen Alexandra
left her apartments with Princess Vic
toria and her ladies-in-waiting, and lis
| tened to the singing from behind them.
All political discussion foreshadows
a truce and the shelving indefinitely
Of the struggle between the house of
commons and the house of lords. The
bishop of Worcester, preaching In the
cathedral, said that patriotism and
chivalry demanded that contentious
Equestions be put aside by the states
men Of all parties for the year at least.
The house of commons will meet
Wednesday, when Speaker Lowther re-
turns to receive the address from the
throne. Premier Asquith and A. j.
reply. Mr.. Asquith and Reginald Nc
Kenna. first lord of the admiralty, en-
barked today at Gibraltar on the
cruiser Enchantress for home.
Stock Exchange Opens.
The singing of the national anthem
marked the reopening of the stock ex-
change today, the members Of which
forthwith got down to work with de-
termination to discountenance any bear
attack. The tone was steady from the
start with a hardening Of prices. This
was notable with consols, which start
ed "a higher and improved to 81%
Home rails gained from " to 1 point
other British securities and Kaffirs
hardening in sympathy. Leading Ameri-
can securities were put up more than a
point over parity, helping the general
advance. The steadiness Of continental
bourses on Saturday, and the feeling
that local political differences have
been sunk for the time, had a distinctly
stimulating effect on prices.
