Immediately after the funeral of her husband it is expected that Queen Alexandra, now the aether, will retire to Sjandrjagham palace, which King Edward some years ago made over to her as a dower house.

The precincts of the palace by this time were a great mass of people, many of whom qould get but the brief­ est glimpse of the proceedings. The balconies and roofs of the ancient pal­ ace, which had been draped with red cloth, were reserved for the notables, all of whom were in the deepest mourning. Members of the royal household, the ministers and their wives and high officers of state, all In brilliant uniforms, were gathered around the court. Gen. Sir John D, P.

England's dead king, Edward VIL, whose full title was "king of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and treland, and of all the British, domin­ ions beyond the seas, emperor of In­ dia," was the eldest son and the sec­ ond child of Queen Victoria and Al­ bert, the prince consort He was born November 9, 1841, in Buckingham pal­ ace and was christened Albert Ed­ ward. At his birth he was created prince of Wales and by virtue of that dig­ nity he became also knight of the gar­ ter. As heir apparent to the British throne he succeeded to the title of duke of Cornwall and its emoluments, and as heir to the crown of Scotland he became great steward of Scotland, duke of Rothesay, earl of Carrlck, baron of Renfrew and lord of the isles. Cn September 10, 1849, he was created earl of Dublin, this title being con­ ferred on him and his heirs in per­ petuity. Among the other titles and commands held by Edward were duke of Saxony, colonel of the Tenth hus­ sars, colonel-in-chief of the Rifle bri­ gade. field marshal of the British army and • field marshal of the Ger­ man army.

The firft official act. of the , new king was to dispatch to the lord mayor the announcement of < bis fa­ ther's death, in pursuance of custom. His telegram read: "I am deeply grieved to inform,you that my beloved father, the king, pas*?d away peacefully at 11:46 to­ night GEORGE." . The physicians soon afterwards Is­ sued their official bulletin, which was as follows: "May S, 11:50 p. m.--His majesty, the king, breathed his last at 11:46 tonight in the presence of her majes­ ty, Queen Alexandra, the prince and princess of Wales, princess royal, the duchess of Fife, Princess Victoria and Princess Louise, the duchess of Argyll. (Signed) "LAKING, "REID, "POWELL, "DAWSON." Pneumonia, following bronchitis, is believed to have been the cause of death, but the doctors refused to make a statement. Some of the late king's friends are convinced that worry over the critical political situation which confronted him with sleepless nights aggravated, if It did not cause, the fatal illness. Expected 8udden End. Within a few minutes after the death of the king the home office was telegraphing the intelligence to the heads of other governments and companion on the trip W|S Pea^ Stan­ ley of Westminster. '• " / i Edward's public life began In Feb­ ruary, 1863, when, as heir to the throne, he took his seat in the bouse of; lords. On March 10 of the same year he married Princess Alexandra Caroline, Mary Charlotte Louise Julia, the eldest daughter of King Christian IX. of Denmark. Her beauty, grace and charming manners at once gave, her a popularity in Great Britain ths.t has continued unlessened throughout her life as princess and <jueen. In 1875-76 the prince made an eitetttSed tour through the Indian empire «ttd was received everywhere with lavish. and magnificent hospitality, the native rulers seeking to outdo one another in the gorgeonaixess of the «rt.ertato- metite provided for the emperor, On the death of Queen Victoria,! January 22, 100k; Edward succeeded ttf } the throne. The coronation was set for June 26,1902, and all preparations for the magnificent event had been completed when disquieting rumors of the king's ill health, which had been current for several days, were con­ firmed by the postponement of the ceremony. It was announced that the king was suffering from perityphlitis, and on June 24 he underwent an op­ eration. After some weeks of thd greatest anxiety, he recovered, and the coronation took pla&* August 9. nitHnn1 A# Klo hood Edward's public duties consisted solely in the o&ee 6t representing the royal family at all manner of public events, and he performed these du­ ties well. But the deadly monotony of' Buch a life was too much for the vigorous man, and he found relaxa­ tion in amusements that frequently gave rise to scandals and that gave the world a wrong impression of his real character. He was especially! fond of the theater and ainong hiq boon companions for years were ac­ tresses and actors. Also he devel* oped a great liking for Pans and often visited that gay capital incognito. The Riviera and Biarritz likewise were familiar with the faoe of the prince of Wales. As a diplomat Edward was unex­ celled among the monarchs of Europe. His influence was always thrown tS> the side of international peace where compatible with national honor, and his advice and example had a steady­ ing effect on all Europe. He looked with amused tolerance on the va­ garies and extravagances of his neph­ ew, the emperor of Germany, b^t oc­ casionally that ruler exasperated nlm to such an extent that he could not refrain from giving &|m some stern advice. Such admonition was not re­ ceived by William inJ a submissive spirit and once la .a while there were sensational rumors that tbe peaceful relations between the t^ro countries were about to be ruDtured. The development of the king's char­ acter In his later years was espe­ cially gratifying to the nation. In ad­ dition to the love of his people, which he had always bad, he gained their admiration and respect They had the utmost confidence in his good judg­ ment, as was amply exemplified dur­ ing the late crisis over the budget, and they were always sure he would do the right thing at the right time. To Edward and Alexandra were born six children. The first. Prince Albert, duke of Clarence, died In 1892, aged twenty-eight years. The second, George Frederick Ernest Albert, born on June 3, 1866, succeeds to the throne. The other children are: Princess Louisa Victoria, married to the duke of Fife; Princess Victoria Alexandra; Princess Maude Charlotte, married to' Prince Charles of Den­ mark, and Prince Alexander Jz&tt, who died the day after his birth in 1871.
