King Edward TIL who returned to England from a vacation ten Jays ago in the best of health, died at 11:45 o'clock Friday nizht in the presence of his family after an illness of less than a week, which ws3 serious hardly more than three days. The Prince of Wales succeeded to the throne immediately, according to tie laws of the kiasdom, without of ficial ceremony. His first official act na to despatch to the Lord Mayor the announcement of hi3 father's fcath, in pursuance of custom. Pneumonia, following bronchitis, is believed to have been the cause of fcath, but the doctors thus far have refused to rsake a statement. Some the Kir. 'g friends are convinced that worry over the critical political situation which confronted him, with fceepkss nishts, aggravated if it did not cause the fatal illness. One cf the last utterances attrib uted to Kb? Edward was: "Well, it i3 all over, but I think I tave done my duty." Court Goss Into Mourning.

News Withheld Half aa Hour. The body lies in the King's chan ber in the northwest wing of Buck ingham palace, which is brilliantly lighted, while the rest of the great gloomy building, with the exception of Lord Knollys' office, is entirely darkened. It was nearly half an hour after the King breathed his last when Lord Knollys walked into the office and said to the waiting report ers: "Gentlemen, His Majesty is dead." Coming so suddenly, the death of the Knrg cannot but bring the greatest sorrow to the nation, in whose hearts Edward, first as Prince of. Wales and afterwards as sovereign held first place. His short reign of 9 years has been a history of stirring times. It opened with the conclusion of peace after a long and trying campaign in South Africa and con cludes at the crucial moment of one of the most . momentous political struggles of modern times between the Peers and Commons. In a day the political outlook of Great Britain has been revolutionized. The Prasidsnt's Condolence. President Taft, upon learning of the death of King Edward, wrote the following message of condolence to Her Majesty Queen Alexandria, and cabled to Buckingham palace: "On the sad occasion of the death of King Edward, I offer to your majesty and to your son, his illustrious successor, the most pro found sympathy of the people and of the government ' ot the United States whose hearts go out to their British kinsmen in this, their na tional Ibexeavemcnt. To this I add the expression to your majesty and to the new King of my own personal sympathy and of my apreciation of those high qualities which made the life of the King so potent an in fluence toward peace and justice among the nations."

KING EDWARD VIL King of the united kingdom of all the British dominions.be- of all the British domainions be- yond the Vseas, emperor of India. ? Born in Buckingham palace, London, Nov. 9, 1841. Second child and eldest son of Queen Victoria and Prince Con- sort Albert. At . 7 weeks old he was creat- ed prince of Wales. As heir apparent to the -throne he. succeeded to the title of duke of Cornwall and its rich emolu- ments. 7 As heir to the crown of Scot- land, he became great steward of Scotland, duke of Rothesay, earl of Carrick, baron of Renfrew, and lord 6f the isles. In 3849 he was created earl of Dublin. He was also duke of Saxony, colonel of the Tenth Hussars, cflonel-in-chief of the Rifle Bri- grade, and field marshal' both in e the Bi'itish and German armies. He was educated by private tutors and at Edinburg univer- sitjT, Oxford and Cambridge. - In 1860 he made a tour of the United States and Canada. In 1862 he made a trip to the Orient. Began public life in January, 1863, as a member of the house of lords. He was married March 10, 1863, to Princess Alexandra, old- est daughter of King Christian of Denmark. The had six children. In 1872 he narrowly escaped death as a result of a typhoid fever attack. Elected grand master of the Free Masons in 1874. He made an extended tour through the Indian empire in 1875-1876. He succeeded Queen Victoria Jan. 22, 1901; crowned Aug. 9, 1902. The civil list of the king was fixed in 1901 at $2,284,200 a year. Was the most traveled monarch of Europe. Edward VII was one of the great est royal diplomats the world has ever known, a force tor peace and justice: His death at a crisis in the history of England removes a. wise and bejneficent ruler, who by tact and discretion ever advanced the in terests of his own country and pro moted harmony in the concert of nations. Naturally of a quick, impulsive and energetic disposition, a man of ac tion, who for nearly four decades was obliged to hold his powers in restraint, he became not the "Merry Monarch" the wiseacres believed he would be, but a wise, tactful and able kfng. He came of an earnest and practical race, which, although it wore the insignia of royalty, was democratic at heart, Because cf the long reign of the illustrious Queen Victoria, he was, with the exception of William IV, the oldest monarch who ascended the English throne since Egbert assum ed that dignity nearly 1200 years ago. In honor of his father and maternal grandfather, the royal infant was christened Albert- Edward. He was always known by both names while prince of Wales, and was called "Bertie" in the family circle. As king he chose to adopt a good old English name and rule, as Edward VIL . His German father and mother be lieved that -children, no matter tq what rank they were to attain in later years, should be reared to un derstand that the accident of birth should be no source of pride. Instead of a long string of names he was christened simply Albert, after his father, and Edward for his grand father, the Duke of Kent. The Prince Consort, in drawing up direc tions for the guidance of the teachers of his boy, closed with these words: "Your great aim shall be to build up a noble and princely character, in intelligent sympathy with the best movements of the age." He was 19 years old when he made a trip to Canada and the United States. He readily brought himself into line with the spirit of the new world. He had the tact to set aside exclusiveness and ceremony of court life and to mingle freely with the people. His unaffected manner and good fellowship won for him thou sands of friends. In 1863 as prince of Wales, he formally entered public lite as a member of the house of lords. It was, too, the year of .his marriage. The bride was Princess Alexandra Caroline Mary Charlotte Louisa Julio, oldest daughter of the late King Christian of Denmark. Six children were born, two of whom have died. Military operations during his reign were limited to the expedition against Tibet and fighting with na tives in South Africa and on the frontier of India. Otherwise Eng land has been at peace with the world. In the field of, world politics his influence was steadily cast on tne side of peace. He held the nation in check during the storm f public -.- - ' FACTS ABOUT THE NEW KING. George Frederick Ernest Al- bert, Duke of Cornwall and York. Born at Marlborough .

During the last trip abroad made by his tfather, King Gkorge, then prince of Wales, had to take on his shoulders some of the kingly duties. The result startled England. The new king previously had heen best known for the things he didn't do. Even" the most loyal supporters of the royl family did not take him seriously! Good-hearted,- quiet, re served, unenergetic, perhaps a little negative this was the general esti mate. But when Prince George . took the tiller, he forced his critics to admit they had underestimated him. He showed evidences of careful study of European and colonialconditions, he was widely read on every subject. He made speeches that were clear, straight-forward, illuminating and forceful. He showed hmself one of the best informed men in England on naval affairs. Previously an extraordinary igno rance prevailed, even in England, about the future ruler. He wasn't the striking, showy personality that his father was. He didn't set styles for. the world. He was not a gallant. He avoided the limelight. The marriage of Prince George and the princess was at the wish of Queen Victoria. The new King of England was known as the sailor prince. He went to sea while still a young boy, and has gone through'every grade of the navy service. He has cruised around the world and made a long trip in visiting all the British col onies in 1901, Queen May, whose full name is Victora Mary,- was destined for a throne from her birth. - She was born in the royal palace-of Kensington on May 26, 1867.
