HALF EUROPE IN MOURNING SORROWING SUBJECTS SHED TEARS WHEN DEATH IS AN- NOUNCED. Copenhagen, Denmark, Jan. 30. — Christian the Ninth, the aged king of Denmark, is dead. The dean of the crowned heads of Europe, father of King George of Greece, of Queen Alexandra of Great Britain and Ire- land, and of the Dowager Empress Maria Feodoroyna of Russia, grand- father of King Haakon VII. of Nor- way, and related by blood or marriage to most of the European rulers,-died with startling suddenness in the Amalienborg palace yesterday after- 1x. of Denmark. Christian noon. The accession of his successor, Prince Frederick, his eldest son, who will be known as Frederick VIII., will be proclaimed to-day. Officially Announced. The following official bulletin was issued last evening: “His majesty died at 3:30 o’clock this afternoon. After his majesty had brought this morning’s audience to a conclusion he appeared to be quite well and proceeded to luncheon as usual. Toward the end of the meal he gave evidence of indisposition and was compelled to retire to bed at 2:30 p. m. His majesty passed away peacefully, the symptoms indicating heart failure.” This bulletin tells concisely the story of the death scene, which found every one, even those who realized the increasing feebleness of the king, unprepared for the sudden shock. Half of Europe Mourns. The death of King Christian has plunged half the courts of Europe into mourning and brought a sense of personal loss as_ well as of sincere grief to every one throughout the kingdom of Denmark, even to the humblest cottage. It has cast a pall over the palaces of the monarchs of Great Britain, Russia, Norway and Greece. Every flag in the city is at half- Mast; all places of amusement are closed, and the people walk the streets as though they were passing through the chamber of death itself. Many Shed Tears. Yesterday afternoon when the flag flying over the palace was placed at half-mast, the news spread from mouth to mouth. It was not believed by the great crowds which gradually assembled in the square in front of the palace, but when uncertainty gave place to certainty many in the assem- blage shed tears and all dispersed in respectful silence, baring their heads and saluting the palace as they went by. Nothing is definitely known con- cerning the arrangements for the funeral, and it will, necessarily, be some time before anything regarding it is officially announced. Was Eighty-Eight Years Old. King Christian was born April 8. 1818.

Wash., Jan. 31—At yester- day’s session of the investigation into the loss of the Valencia, C. Allison of St. Paul, a passenger, testified that the sea was not rough. He explained that he had himself been a sailor, and that the surf that finally battered the Valencia to pieces could not be called high. This testimony caused a mild sensation, as all published ac- counts of the wreck have been de- scribed as “high seas” and a “terrible surf.” “Every one seemed to shun _ us,” said Mr. Allison; “all seemed to be afraid to help. All those that suc- ceeded in getting ashore immediately left the scene. The vessels at sea stood off and made no attempt to lower a boat. In the morning after the last raft put off from the Valencia there was no great sea running. Not a wave had a comber on it.” Allison said that the hurricane deck was rising and falling with every wave that struck the ship. That caused many of those on board to leave, thinking that she was about to break up. A. Willis, another passenger, testi- jfied that the first boat was not low- ered properly.

She endeavored to cock the gun, but the mitten that she wore caused the hammer to slip and the gun was pre- maturely discharged. Mr. Schrann had thoughtlessly stepped between his wife and the rabbit, and he received the discharge from the gun in his leg. Mrs. Schrann hurried for assistance, and the wounded man was brought to Duluth, put his life could not be saved. Mrs. Schrann is prostrated by the tragedy, but no blame whatever is directed at her by anybody. PASTOR SAVED FROM MOB. Evangelist Attacks City Administra- tion and Has Exciting Experience.

HAILED WITH GREAT EN- THUSIASM, JOY MINGLED WITH SORROW 1 GRIEF FOR DEAD STRANGELY ‘CONTRASTS WITH ACCLAIMS FOR NEW KING. Copenhagen, Jan. 81. — The new king, Frederick VIIL, now reigns over Denmark. His accession has been hailed with all appropriate enthusi- asm and ceremony, but sorrow for the death of Christian IX. is the predom- inant sentiment. The overwhelming grief of the immediate members of this remarkable, united family is re- flected in only a slightly lesser degree in every home in Copenhagen from the richest to the poorest, and only words of kindness are heard when the dead monarch is spoken of. Throughout the earliest part of the day the lugubrious tolling of bells, the booming of minute guns, the univer- sal signs of mourning and the stagna- tion of business even amid the strangely contracting Acclaims for the New King, told strongly of the deep feeling of the people of Denmark for the head of the nation whose remarkable career had ended so suddenly. In a chamber of the Amalienborg palace the body of the king lies in the modest bed in which he breathed his last. The door of the chamber is guarded by the king’s adjutants as a guard of honor. Following the wishes of King Chris- tian, the funeral will be attended with little ceremonial. The body, which will be placed in a coffin to-day, will not actually lie in state, but prior to the entombment, which is expected to take place in about a fortnight, it will be visited by the chiefs of state. The burial will take place in the Ca- thedral of Rosakilde, beside Queen Louise, in the chapel of Frederick V. Crowned Heads Will Attend. King Haakon of Norway, Queen Al- exandra of England and King George of Greece are expected to arrive in a few days, as well as a number of oth- er princes and princesses from the continental capitals. It is thought that the emperor of Russia will at- tend the funeral, but this is uncertain. It is announced that Emperor Will- jam will be present in person, coming in a warship, which he will occupy during his stay. King Frederick VII., who is a great admirer of the United States, yester- day expressed himself as being espe- cially affected by the condolences of President Roosevelt im behalf of the American nation.
