In 1862. accompanied by Dean Stan- ley, he made a journey to the east, in» eluding a visit to Jerusalem. The young prince was now of a marriagb able age. Speculation was rife as to who would be the lady of his choice. The question was settled in the early part of 1863, when his e agement . was announced to Princess exandra, the eldest daughter of the King 0! Denmark.

The Late King’s Tact. , The tact of the late King in social i matters has been apparent all the ' , time that he has ruled English society with a rod of steel sheathed in velvet. No prejudices, theories or preconceiv- ed ideas were allowed to stand in the way of his decrees. For example. it . is due to him alone that all the ill- ‘feeling toward the Jewish race has hisappeared in England and that He- brews are now found occunying seats .‘n the House of Lords, when in the ‘i early days of the Victorian era a Jew 1 l l ! was not even allowed the full rights and privileges of ordinary citizenship. Hebrews are also to be found in the front rank of the most exclusive and aristocratic social circles oflE'ngland. It is another evidence of the tact of the late King that even his most inti. mate friends and associates were kept in ignorance concerning his political opinions. He always manifested just as much regard and consideration for Gladstone as for Lord Salisbury. He was never inclined any more toward the. Tories than to the Liberals, and neither could claim him as a partisan. There were few better known tig- ures around London in the season. In the theatre, on the race course or at the opera he was a frequent visitor. From the horse show at lslington. the royal military tournament or the Smitlifield show he was never absent. As an agriculturist he did much to stimulate the breeding of all kinds of stock, and he was himselt‘ an exhibi- tor to be reckoned with at all the princi 931 shows. ,_ -._.I Lani?“ nf h‘1i‘d- prlnv ’M'U hlluwa. Short of stature and heavy of build. the King’s lack of inches was always a regret to him. \Vhen photographul with his wife. he almost invariably stood on a stool to make him look taller than the princess, and the grouping was always arranged to per- mit of this being done without attract ing notice. His Ideal Men. An excellent linguist, proficient in French, German and Italian and well able to hold his own in Russian. the late King long and deeply studied for- eign politics. His heroes in British political life were the expansionists Cevil Rhodes and Lord Kitcher. Many of his closest friends were colonists, and colonial Ministers have alway4 had a warm welcome from him. le Imperial Institute and the Colonial Institute, the centres of metrOpolitan colonial life, were largely the result of his energy and enthusiasm. King Edward was probably better liked personally in France than any other EurOpean sovereign. Certainly he showed more sympathy with the French temperament than over his writers in Paris was at least as cyni- cal as it was appreciative. One of them, writing of him as the King, said: - . _i:n_....-., .nA them, writing of ’fiifii'35'the King, “He is made up of antitheses and contradictions. Physically you know ‘ himâ€"a body which ought to have the l strength of a giant and which has not ‘ lost the gracefulness of youth; a hand which seems ready to crush and yet does not shake the earth; a small ear, but one acutely open to the thousand sounds from the four corners of the globe; a blue eye, very gentle and smiling, which behind watchful brows seems always seaching in the dis- tance beyond the visible horison, but stOps always on the nearest objects; agood indulgent smile on lips rather and he never forgets a social engage- ment. The smallest details of cere- mony interest him. He never leaves a letter forty-eight hours without re- ply or twenty-four hours without acknowledgin its receipt. All corre- spondence a dressed to him passes under his eyes."

Some of the 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. ' ‘ Besides the nearest relatives in ; England, the Duke of Fife and the ‘ Archbishop of Canterbury were in the death chamber. The King’s brother, i the Duke of Connaught, with his fain- ’ fly, is at Suez, hastening home from Africa. The King’s daughter, Queen Maud of Norway, will start for Eng- ; land to-rnorrow.

Almost to the end he refused to take to his bed, and was sitting up yesterday in a large chair, so the palace stories go, corroborating the description of him as an unruly patient, which Dr. Ott‘ gave. to a Vienna interviewer lasti ! evening. One of the last utterances attribut- l ed to King Edward was: “Well, it’s: all over. but I think I have done my telqgraghing eved to inform you the Prince and the Princess Roval, ,Princess Victoria se, the Duchess of the intelligence Majesty the at 11.45 m- ?Ier Majesty Prince and duty.” He seemed then to have teach- ed a full realisation that his end was the day. Several hours betore his death the King was in a comatose condition. but he rallied slightly be- tween nine and ten o’clock, and ap- peared to recognize his family. Then he lapsed into unconscious. ness, which ended in his passing.
