Trirltj5, )!r as the royal yacht AlIxrta. with tha Kin? on board, turne! tli point, and th? nr.t gun of the royal s-aiute thundered from the l$rlth?h warship Australia. All the llagr, hitherto hirrratfd were hauled down, marking the m;.-pension of mourning till the Kinq had land. The depre5.-ir.j, surroundings were .oTiiewhit Uchtened by the presenee of the j.aval and military stafTs in brilliant unllorrr... The K!n IinJcd at 2:13 p. m. In ii-knowli.knn,nt of the silent greetings cf the people he frequently raisci his hat. II came ashore with the Duke of Conr.pusht and drove to Osborne. House, where Emperor William met him at the gates and warmly greeted him. Immediately after the Kins landed the flags were jtr:aln half-masted. Ills Majesty was somewhat careworn, but otherwise appeared to b-. in excellent health. During the crossing he was busily engaged with täte dispatches and telegrams of sympathy and in dictating replies. So hampered have been the arrangements at Og!xrne that the body of Queen Victoria Mill lies; in the bedroom where she died. The elaborate decorations necessary in turning the dining room in Osborne House into a charpeUe ardente occupied so- much time that, although the royal household waited hour after hour for the first private rervice. It was found Impossible to hold thi3 'yesterday. All being well, however, the solemn function will be performed this (Friday) morning by the ISishop of Winchester In the presence of King Edward. Emperor William and almost every other member of the royal family. The coffin was brought to Csborne last evening and was taken through the Queen's privute gate, which had not been previously used since her death. Emperor William was the first person to see It. The coffined body will be transferred this morning to the dlnins room, now hung with deep purple. The dais Is wreathed with the royal standard, and on each side are great candles. Madonnas by famous painters hang from the draped walls. In one corner mas;rlflcnt wreaths from all parts of the world crush their blossoms one against the other. Among these the most beautiful are from K'npcror William and Empress Augusta Victoria. Around the coffin chairs are arranged for the royal mourners. Yesterday King Edward replied to thousands of messages he has received. To those from rulers and great personages he replied in person. To those from minor dignitaries he commanded his equerry to return thanks. A particularly grateful message went to President McKinley. The new Queen moved ceaselessly around yesterday, seeing that everything should be done In order. She refused to allow herself to be called Queen. "Your Majesty," paid one of her entourage. "Your royal hishneys. you mean," was the immediate Interruption. It -was chiefly due to Queen Alexandra's desire to design carefully the minutest detail of the death chapel that the first funeral service was not held yesterday The German imperial yacht Ilohcnzollern Is expected to arrive at 4 this afternoon with Emperor William's suite. In response to an Inquiry by the correspondent of the Associated Press, Lord Pelham Clinton denies the report of Emperor William's intention to return to Germany to-day. A statement, attributed to the deputy frovernor of the Island, that the body of the Quoen would be viewed yesterday, drew a preat crowd of people from all parts of the Island to the gates of Osborne, only to be told that admission was out of the question. The official announcement that there will be no lying In state causes great disappointment, especially as some privileged 4 bodies. Including a squad of gold badge men from the royal yachts, have received permission to enter the death chamber. ' The coffin of Queen Victoria is of English cak. lined with satin. The outer casket is a reproduction of the one used at the funeral of the Duchess of Kent, the Queen's mother. A magnificent satin pall, with the roynl arms in each corner, i3 being made. Wherever it traverses roads, the body will be borne on a gun carriage. CIIAXGES TO II K MADE.

Many Prraonn anil Institution Are Affected ly Death of Queen. LONDON', Jan. 21. It seems almost Impossible to exhaust the list of persons and Institutions not strictly official that are affected by the "demise of the crown," for euch technically is the correct expression In speaking of the death of a British sovereign. It being, as already explained in these dispatches, under the. theory of the English constitution a fiction that the King never dies. It will have a serious effect on the members of the Queen's household, a majority of whom are personal officers, whose offices end with the death of the sovereign appointing them. King Edward will doubtless retain some of those long attending him while he was the Prince of Wales and will give them steps in rank. A more Important fact is that the death of the Queen opens the whole question of the royal revenues. For Instance, in the time of George III the crowns lands were valued at JCSy.000 annually. lie surrendered these lands to the public, receiving in exchange an annuity ot 80G.u. When the Queen surrendered them similarly in 1SU7 they were worth 121,744 annually, and she received In exchange an annuity of SS.(C0. The arrangement ends with her death. The lands are now worth 530,00) annually. Therefore, when Parliament attends to the matter of making provision Jot the King It is likely that he will recei.e far more than the Queen for the lands, or he may elect to retain them under his own management. But there are Innumerable smaller changes a fleeting the phraseology of everything in conversation and in the aspects of objects meeting the eye at every turn. The very word King comes strangely to lips so long accustomed to Queen. It will be some time before expressions used thousands of times daily throughout the realm will take readily to the new form, such as "God save the King." "soldiers of the King." "the King's English." "King's bench" and "King's counsel." , An interesting point in regard to the lat, ter expression at tho present moment 13 that the Queen's counsel have returned to the ranks of ordinary barristers, and will FAKt WEATHER TO-DAY.

not be entitled to again 'wear silk" and be alled King's counsel until they have rewed their oath of allegiance. Many of this sort of changes involve not only a feeling of strangeness, but in the aggregate an immense outlay. The stamps at the mint must be new for next year's coinage, So, too. with the postoffice and revenue stamps, mall carts, mail bags, military buttons and the myriad of things stamped "V. It. I." Henceforth "E. It. I." will be on all these things. The form of all legal procedure must be altered. The "Queen's writ" no longer runs, and a bailiff cannot summon lo the debtor's court with what is often horribly familiar and always avoided a blue sheet headed "Victoria, by the grace of God," etc., until fresh forms are authorized and printed. The very prayer book of the established church is obsolete in its form cf prayer for the royal family. Tradesmen priding themelves on the warrant "By special appointment to her Majesty" and mounting the royal arms over their door must seek reappointment. Even such great ones as amoassadors are on a level with them in this point. They represented the Queen. They will not represent the King until they are reappointed But it would be possible to prolong the list almost without limit. PERSONAL HE3IIXSCEXCES.

Mn. Jennie CornvrallU-Wcst Write Abont the Late Queen. LONDON, Jan. 21. At the request of a representative of the Associated Press, Mrs. George Cornwallis-West, who was Lady P.andolph Churchill, and, previous to her marriage. Miss Jennio Jerome, of New York city, who had several unusual opportunities of meeting Queen Victoria, ha3 written the following: "I have been asked to give my personal reminiscence of Queen Victoria. So much has been written about her Majesty, such a hymn of praise has burst forth from the whole civilized world, that even out of the fullness of one's heart and had I one of the most eloquent of pens it would be difficult to be anything but an echo. Still, It may be interesting to my countrymen to hear even my small note joining in this harmonious paean as to her goodness a goodness that was felt by all her people, as her greatness was apparent to all nations to the American, whose pulse beats quickly and whose brain works in unison, the fulfillment of a high ideal, a noble life, must appeal with irresistible force. I am t-ure lt is no exaggeration to say that the American people have placed Queer. Victoria on as high a pedestal of virtue as their Imagination can build. It Is not for me to dilate on the qualities of her unique greatness. These will be immortalized by history. Still, I cannot refrain from saying that the great theme of all was her knowledge cf and sympathy with human nature. When Colonel Towse. recently went to Windsor to receive the Victoria cross for a valorous deed by wnlch he lost his eyesight those present have since told me that as he advanced, led by his wife, toward the Queen tears poured down her aged cheeks and it was in a broken voice that she spoke to him. Few at eighty-one could lorget their own dim and failing eyes for the blind ones of -others. "The Queen may be counted on as one of the victims of the war. Every defeat, every unsuccessful skirmish, the loss or wounding of any brave soldier was personal to her. When I had the honor of seeing her Majesty at Windsor in December. 1SW, before leaving for South Africa In the American hospital ship Maine, she evinced the greatest Interest in all the details and fittings or the ship and particularly as to the his tory of the hospital starr, doctors and nurses, wh m she had received a few days previously. Several times she repeated to me: 'It Is very good of the American people to subscribe for this ship, and I am most grateful to them for coming over and helping to take care of my sick and wounded.' "I had not seen her for some years, and the melody of her wonderful voice and the fascination of her marvellous smile again came as a revelation to me. The most commanding presence and regal beauty could not have had a more thrilling effect upon one than this small figure bowed down with sorrows and age. "Some years ago I was bidden to Windsor to receive from the Queen the Order of the Crown of India. It was a memorable day. The Queen, with one of the princesses and a lady in waiting, received me in a small room. She adddessed a few kind words to me, to which, in my embarrassment, I made some inaudible answer; and then she proceeded to pin the order on my left shoulder. I remembered that my dress being thlcKly embroidered with jet, the pin could find no hold, and at laft she stuck it straight into me. I could not hide what I felt, and the Queen was much concerned. But eventually the pin was put right and I courtesled myself out. As I reached the door, she called out: You have forgotten the case,' and held It out to me. I afterward said to the lady In waiting that I was afraid I had not comported myself properly, and she answered: You need not be troubled; I know the Queen felt more shy than you did.' "At the opening of the Imperial Institute, about ten years ago, the Queen sat on a throne In the middle of the huge hall, with a look of intense anxiety on her face. She had to make a speech; but when she did so, her voice, soft and gentle as lt was, never wavered, and lt could be heard by all. Only great moral courage and capacity could have carried her through this ordeal. "Once again I remember the Queen at her first Jubilee, sitting alone In the middle of the great nave In Westminster Abbey, a small, pathetic figure, surrounded by a vast assembly, their gaze riveted on her, while silent tears dropped one by one on her folded hands. What must have been the weight of her memory! "High and low; rich and poor; the whole English-speaking race realize that they have lost in Queen Victoria the greatest of their sovereigns and the best of friends. "JENNIE CORNWALLIS-WEST." QUEEN VICTORIA'S ILLNESS. An Authoritative Account by the British .Medical Journal. LONDON, Jan. 24. The British Medical Journal publishes an authoritative account of the list Illness of Queen Victoria. It says the Queen's health for a year had been falling, with symptoms maJr.ly of a dyspeptic kind, accompanied by Impaired nutrition and periods of insomnia, and later there were slight, transitory attacks of aphasia. In the general arterial systems there were remarkably few signs of age. After alluding to the symptoms of somnolence increasing the cerebral exhaustion which her Majesty's strong will enabled her to hide from momentary visitors, the Medical Journal confirms the Associated Press information saying that on Thursday her mental confusion was more marked and a slight fluttering was observed in the right side of her face. Thenceforward aphasia and facial paralysis became permanent. It Is Important to note, the Medical Journal adds, that notwithstanding the great bodily weakness and cerebral exhaustion the heart's actloA was steadily maintained to the last. The ruise was always regular and the temperature normal. In the last few hours paralysis of the pulmonary nerves et in. Beyond a slight facial fluttering there was never any motor paralysis. GENERAL AND INCIDENTAL. Promise at Deathbed of the Queen Frederick WUHnm' Tonst. A dispatch to tne New York Journal and Advertiser from London says: "In her last lucid rally before death, the Queen summoned the Prince of Wales and the Kaiser to her bedside and besought them, as they loved her, to avoid war and maintain peace. The Prince and the Kaiser knelt and swore to do all In their power to reign in peace, never to allow England and Germany to clash, and endeavor to induce all other nations to do likewise." XXX At the suggestion of Adelina Tattl, memorial services In honor of the late Queen, conducted by Father Vaughn, took place at Cralg-y-Nos Castle, Wales. The musical portion was arranged by Madame Pattl and was extremely beautiful. She and the tenor Santley sang. xx Considerable restriction is being placed upon the public's access to the funeral ceremonials at Cowes, owing to attempts to kodak Emperor William. xxx The Berliner Neuesto Nachrichten quotes the following from Baron Von Dunsen: "In 1843 court etiquette had thrust tho prince consort somewhat into the background, and a toast by King Frederick William IV 'first to the Queen and then to .her most august spouse' deeply affected Queen Victoria, who at the first compli

ment bowed and at the second bowed very low. Her eyes sparkled with tears, and as the King sat down she bent over and kissed him on the cheek and then sat down herself, beaming with Joy." XXX Andrew Carnegie paid a glowing tribute to the memory of the late Queen at a special meeting of the St. Andrew Society In New York yesterday. Mr. Carnegie said: "Queen Victoria has occupied a position never before occupied by any ruler, or, I may say. by any individual. Nor was she great only as a ruler, and among those who occupied the foremost position, but as a woman, wife, mother, grandmother, counselor. I know of no name to equal that which she has made for herself. She stood for everything a woman ought to stand for. First of all. she stood for that greatest of all womanly attributes purity ; secondly she stood for honesty. She also stood for peace. We have reason to remember this and be thankful for her conduct. When this Republic was in hard straits a warlike secretary had already prepared a message that would have meant war between us and our motherland. But she tore that dispatch with her own hands and thus averted such a calamity. Standing, as we can almost be said to stand, at her bier, we should take the lesson of her life, and, as her successor has announced he will, strive to follow in her footsteps." xxx . When the, British Parliament meets next month lt will be necessary to grant a new royal civil list, the old list expiring with the death of the Queen. Probably the Radices will endeavor to reduce the amount, but the general feeling In England leans toward an increase. In view of the increased value of the surrendered royal estates. Renewed allowances will also have to be made for the Duke of Cornwall and York. xxx Mrs. Nathanial P. Banks, aged eightyone years, widow of the former Governor, congressman and general, is seriously 111 at her home in Waltham, Mass.. and her death Is expected at any time. At the time of the Prince of Wales's visit to Boston, Mrs. Banks was the first lady of the State, her husband then being Governor, and she danced with the prince, now King, at the grand ball. XXX A dispatch to the World from London says: "Prime Minister Salisbury's absence from Osborne House during the Queen's last moments has not been publicly explained and causes widespread speculations, especially in the court and political circles. According to information that has reached your correspondent through a sure channel. Lord Salisbury remained away owing to tne strained personal relations between him and the present King. The Times in an editorial on the new King partly affords a clew to the mystery, where it says: We shall not pretend that there is nothing In his lengthy career which those who respect and admire him could not wish otherwise.' These warning words are said to refer not to the Mordaunt case thirty years ago, nor even to the Tranby Croft scandal, but to a more recent episode concerning which the Marquis of Salisbury', on behalf of the Queen, read the Prince of Wales a severe lecture, which accounts for their now reported unfriendly relations. The serious aspect of this mater is that under such a condition of things Lord Salisbury's tenure of the premiership cannot endure long, and then the Unionist government will go to pieces." XXX Another dispatch to the New York World from xondon says: "The new King, althougty called to one of the highest earthly places, has little real power. Ho will chooso his own personal attendants, but no public officers. At Queen Victoria's accession the entire public service was controlled by the spons system. All the officers at home, in the diplomatic and consular service and in Greät Britain's colonies were within the gift of the ruling political power in London. In 1854 the new civil service reform act changed all this. New only the responsible chiefs of departments and their few confidential assistants are removable at the pleasure of the King and his ministers. Neither a new King nor a new Prime Minister can disturb the tenure of the great army of British officeholders, numbering probably, Including India and the colonies, at least 200,000 men. King Edward VII has less patronage at his disposal than the average commissioner In the New York city government." xxx Johnny Rieff, the famous American Jockey who recently returned from England to visit his parents in Findlay, O., has cabled to King Edward an expression of

sorrow for the death of Queei Victoria. Young Reiff Is well known to the King. LIKE MRS. CABBIE NATION. Fred Lawrence Smashed n. Chicago ' Saloon and la Now In Jail. CHICAGO, Jan. 24. A man, who later gave his name as Fred Lawrence, entered a saloon at No. 1C23 Clark street to-night, and after remarking that he would "give an Imitation of how they do things in Kansas," proceded to smash up the fixtures. Grabbing up a chair the stranger smashed it into bits on top of a table. He then kicked over the stove, broke a few more chairs and battered down a wine room in the rear. The bartender picked up a revolver to protect himself Jf the wrecker came toward him. Whirling a cLair above his head, the man let it go. and it danced among a lot of glasses behind the bar. "Down with liquor traffic," he shouted, as he ran out to the street and gathered up an armful of cobble-stones. "I'm the Mrs. Carrie Nation, of Chicago, and I'm gclng to put a few saloons out of business before I get through," he shouted as he began to hurl the stones through the front windows. The bartender came out to the door and fired five shots at the man, none of which took effect. A riot call was sent in and a wagon load of policemen hurried to the scene. Lawrence was locked up, charged with malicious mischief. The bartender was also arrested for discharging firearms within the city limits. Obituary. NEW YORK, Jan. 24. Benjamin D.

TII03IASSO.N AND CSAINES CONVICTED OF .MANSLAUGHTER. Dear Sentenced for First Decree 3Iurder Epidemic of Suicides of Women Darinj; Saloon Robbery. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BLOOMINGTON, Ir.d., Jan. 24. Before 6 o'clock this morning John Gaines and Oliver Thomasson were sentenced by Judge Martin to the Reformatory at Jeffersonvllle for terms of two to twenty-one years, In vindication of the law for the murder of John Lentz. The Jury notified the bailiff at 1 o'clock this morning that an agreement had been reached and at 5 o'clock Judge Martin was notified. Inasmuch as there had been some excitement. Judge Martin decided to forestall all danger of violence by haviny the prisoners brought out at once and the court officials summoned to the courtroom. Both Gaines and Thomasson had given up hope of acquittal, and were eviuently prepared for the verdict when the judge read "guilty of manslaughter." Neither made any remarks nor showed any evidence of emotion. As soon as the Jury was polled. Judge Martin asked the accused to stand before him. Gaines and Thomasson stood side by side, both holding their hands behind them. When asked if they had anything to say, both replied that they had not. The Judge then pronounced sentence. Both young men had been raised In this county and their fathers were his personal friends, the judge said, and It was with personal sorrow that he followed the directions of the jury. He hoped that both men, still less than twenty-two years of age, would do their best while in prison to make their terms short, and when again at liberty would spend the balance of their lives as useful citizens. The prisoners were taken to jail handcuffed, where a number of friends visited them. They are now safely confined within the prison walls at the Reformatory, on advice of Judge Martin. They were prepared for their trip early this morning and a few minutes after 10 o'clock, in charge of Sheriff Thrasher, they were placed In a closed carriage, securely handcuffed, and taken to Ellettsvllle, where they got aboard the 11 o'clock train and were taken direct to Indianapolis and thence over the J., M. & I. to Jeffersonville. While the officials had no great fear of a mob at Bedford or Mitchell, on the trip south, it was thought advisable to use these precautionary measures. It was the general understanding that the prisoners would be taken south through Bedford and Mitchell on the 3:40 train this afternoon and such was the report circulated at Bedford. Deputy Sheriff Stone will claim the $500 reward to be paid for conviction by the commissioners of Lawrence county. Guilty of First Decree Murder. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

TRUTH ABOUT HAZING

FORMER CAD ET S STORY OF CRUELTIES AT WEST POINT. Tent Mate of YoanR MncArthar Who Described Haiinfr nt the Academy as "Exquisite Torture WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. The congressional committee which Is investigating the hazing of Cadet Booz had before it today the last witness who would be called on to testify. He was F. H. Cunningham, a teacher at the Hamilton Institute, New York city, who formerly was a cadet at West Point. He was the tent mate of Cadet MacArthur, a son of General MacArthur, who was severely hased, according to the testimony adduced at West Point, and he also was supposed to have furnished the material for an article on hazing which appeared in a New York newspaper. Before beginning his testimony, Mr. Cunningham stated that it would not be voluntary, but would be given because he was summoned. He wanted his friends at West Point to understand that a Mr. Cun ningham entered the academy in June, 1898. He testified that his tent mate was MacArthur. He described the hazing of MacArthur in July, 1SS8. He said he reeled Into the tent after being hazed and went into convulsions. He was writhing and moaning so that he (Cunningham) covered him with a blanket to prevent his moans from being heard by the officer of the day. MacArthur's Inquisitors, after the hazing, he said, were very much exercised over what they had done, and were anxious to see MacArthur . restored. Barry, one of them, brought water to restore him. Asked as to what was done to MacArthur, Cunningham replied that they had done everything which came under the head of "exercising." Witness said he would distinctly class MacArthur's writhings as convulsions, not cramps, as MacArthur had testified. MacArthur was urged to go on sick report next day, but refused. He was hazed because he was a son of General MacArthur, although he never had exhibited undue pride in the relationship. The worst hazers in witness part of camp were Barry, Dockery and Duval. Witness said one reason why he left the academy was his feeling Vthat hazing exerted a brutal influence. ..JacArthur had said to him that "Another night like that would make me feel like resigning." Several cadets were called to console MacArthur. Witness named Cadets Hill, Howse, Haskell and Kensel as cadets who suffered from convulsions and needed medical assistance as a result of hazing. A cadet officer told witness a cadet had choked Kenpel to prevent him uttering cries. Cadet Crown had "qualified on prunes," breaking the record by eating 135. They made him sick. One of the academy instructors lectured against hazing and the classes decided against "hazing," etc. As they left the lecture some one shouted "Brace!" and every one "braced," and that ended the agreement to stop hazing. Commenting on a statement by General Ludlow that "college hazing and West Point hazing" were the same, the witness said: "I refute that statement. 1 went .through college before I went to West Point, and I know there is nothing in the colleges like the hazing at West Point." He described hazing as nothing short of exquisite torture. He gave a graphic account of the pain suffered in certain forms of hazing which fairly sent a shudder through the listeners. Men were hung on bars, their feet up, so that when they dropped from exhaustion the knees struck on the wooden floors several feet below. The fainting man was again hoisted up, and again repeatedly dropped. Cunningham said the object of "calling out" was to place a trained upper class man against an untrained lower class man. The result was Inevitable. In conducting a fight the purpose was to cut up the face of the lower class man before knocking him out. An upper class man had said to the witness that a certain fight was not correct because the lower class man's face was not cut up sufficiently. When on guard one time Cunningham was told by the corporal of the guard "not to see a fight" then about to occur. The witness said cadets from foreign countries, admitted by act of Congress were "bullied and bothered" in the same way and instanced Cadet Iglesias, of Costa Rica. Cunningham's testimony appeared to produce a deep Impression, and at its conclusion the court went into secret session. The hearings are now closed and the committee will give its attention to the report. PR0CLAKATI0N. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) it was the King's herald, come to read a proclamation. "Enter, herald," said the marshal, and the herald was conducted to the lord mayor and aldermen, who were still grouped in the street. The herald then read the proclamation, to which the mayor and aldermen replied: "We, with one voice, consent, tongue and heart, pledge allegiance to King Edward VII." The trumpeters blew a blast, while the wondering crowd stood bareheaded and silenced, not knowing what to do, till a military band In the procession struck up "God Save the Queen." This familiar hymn has still but one meaning in England, and the crowds took up the words feebly, with "God Save the King" on the tongue, but "God Save the Queen" in mind. A few streets further on the proclamation was read again and the procession advanced, by way of Ludgate hill, to the Royal Exchange. The final proclamation was made in front of the Royal Exchange. The square before the exchange, with the prison-like walls of the Bank of England on one side and the massive official residence of the lord mayor on the other, was a stage setting whose age and solidity befitted the ceremony. There were no decorations, except flags, all half-masted, save the city's red cross on a white field, on the Mansion House. The royal standard hung above the exchange and over" the surrounding business buildings hung the union jack. Black was the universal color worn by the peopl?. Hardly a bright bonnet or gown relieved the sombreness of the crowd. Soldiers and policemen formed an almost solid lane down Cheapslde, where the pageant was to pass. The people behind them, crowding for a sight over their shoulders, were of all classes, from .prosperous brokers to East End costers. The mass was subdued and remarkably orderly, an impressive contrast to the usual London holiday crowd. The roofs cf the exchange, bank and Mansion House, and the windows and balconies overlooking the scene were filled with solid rows of people. Big policemen kept a clear space in front of the exchange. AT THE EXCHANGE. At about 10 o'clock the procession, which was disappointingly short, though gorgeous, swept down from Temple Bar at a rapid pace and was received silently. The officials entered the exchange by Cornhill and appeared on the top steps, the lord mayor with the sword bearer leading, sheriffs, aldermen, recorder and city marshal following. A flourish of trumpets Impressed silence upon the crowds and the lord mayor, uncovering, stepped forward. All hats came off and the men remained bareheaded throughout the ceremony under the misty rain for nearly half an hour. The lord mayor's voice was strong and his oratorical words were distinguishable a block away while he read the warrant of the privy council to the herald. Thereupon the spectacularly attired herald, bareheaded also, for the third time delivered the proclamation. Probably no one fifty feet distant heard his words until at the ending he raised his voice and shouted, "God save the King," putting particular stress on the words. When the lord mayor finished reading the warrant with the words "his Majesty, King Edward VII," the crowd for the first time cheered feebly, but with unison, seeming to feel that too great a display for the King might appear to partake of disloyalty to the memory of the departed Queen. It was only when the herald shouted, "God the Kins." that ttt populac r

Then came more cheers for the King and for the Queen consort, hearty but solemn and of a vastly different port from the shouts heard for Quern Victoria's Jubilee. There was an undertone of mourning. Then the Life Guards and officials from the West End moved away and the crowd broke up. The city officials gathered about a table in the Mansion House and raised their glasses, drinking their health to King Edward VII, who had been proclaimed a King according to the ancient ritual. King Edward VII has been proclaimed In many cities and towns of the United Kingdom, the usual procedure being that ihe mayor, attended by the other members of the corporation, has read the proclamation in the town hall or market place.
