His Last Words: “Well, it is All Over, but I Think I have one My Duty”—Returned from a Vacation Ten Days go in the Pest of Health—According to the Laws of the Kingdom, the Prince of Wales Suczeeds to the Crown Immediately, without Official Ceremony. A London, May King Edward VIL, who returned to England from a va- cation ten days ago in the best of Jiealth, died at 11.45 o'clock last night $n the presence of his family, after an Siness of less than a week, which was serious hardly more than three days. Prince of Wales Succeeds at Once. The Prince of Wales succeeded to e crown immediately, according to The laws of the kingdom, without offi- cial_ceremony. irst official act was to despatch mayor the amnouncement ther's death, in pursuance of His telegram read: 1 deeply grieved to inform you beloved father, the king, pass- cefully at 11.45 tonight. “GEORGE.” (Signed) Physicians’ Official Bulletin. The physicians soon afterwards is- €d their officiai bulletin, which was as_follows: May 6 1150 p. m.—His majesty, 1he king, breathed his last at 11.45 to- right, in the presence of her majesty, Queen Alexandra, the Prince and Prin- cess of Wales, the Princess Royal, the T of Fife and Princess Victoria :ss Louise, the Duchess of “REID, POWELL, DAWSO] Preumonia Following Bronehitis.

The people had been cxpecting to hear it at any hour since the evening's bulletin was posted #t Buckingham Palace and ‘flashed “hroughout the kingdom. The capital received i wilhout exeitement, but sadly. for the king with his own peo- gle was unquestionably one of the most popular rulers in the world. They yegarded him as one of the strongest forces making for the stability of the Teace of the empire. The fashionable restaurants were Pust empiving and a few groups of late Theater-goers were making their way Yomeward through the rain, while 2 small crowd still hung about the pal- ece. when the streets were filled sud- weniy with newsboys shrilly erying- ¥ Deati of the king.” The papers were cuickly seized and the people discuss- «d the momentous event quietly and The streets were de- ted by 1 oclock.

All who knew the king anticipated ! sorrow to the nation, in whose hearts Edward, first as Prince of Wales and aftefwards as sovereign, has held first place. His short reign-—eight years— has been a history of stirring times. It opened with the conclusion of peace after a long and trying war in South Africa and concludes at the critical moment of one of the most momentous political struggles of modern times, that between the peers and commons. In a day the political outiook of Great Britain has been revolutionized. Gatlh- ered around the bedside of the dying king was the queen and the princesses, No hope had been held out throughout the day for the recovery of his majes- ty, whose death, it is believed, was due to’ pneumonia, = following bronchitis, contracted shortly after his return from Biarritz. Only a day or two ago the king was conducting the business of state and giving audiences, but on Wednesday he was compelled to sub- mit to the orders of his physicians. Since then until the end his decline was rapid Flags Float at Half Mast the World Over. Throughout the empire the word was flashed. and today flags are floating at half mast the world over. Besides the social gloom which the king's death casts over England, several important and long planned offic events must be abandoned. The Prince and Prin- cess of Wales were to go to South Africa with the squadron. and the prince was to open the firsi parifament of the new confederation, but his ac- cession to the throne will now prevent this. Abandonment of Principal Functions of Mr. Roosevelt’s Tour. The death of his majesty will aiso mean the abandonment of the principal functions of ex-President Roosevelt's tour. The official recgptions, with court in mourning, and the embass) entertainments wili be canceiled and the presentation of the freedom of the city ‘and the luncheon at the Guildhall will probably be given up. Summens to the Privy Councillors. A summons to the privy councillors hae been issued by Sir Almeric Fitzroy, clerk of the council,. convening the coungil in the throme room of St Jameg' paiace at 2 ocloek this after- noon, when the couneiliors will “with voice and. the consent of tongue and heurt publish and proclaim that the high and mighty Prince George Is now, by the death of our late sovereign of happy memory. become our only lawful and righttul liege lord, George V, by the grace of God, King of the United Kingdom of Great Britein and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, and Emperor of India. to whom do we ac- | knowledge all faith and constant obe- dience, with all hearty and humble af- fection, besceching God. by Whom kings and queens do reign, to bless the Royal Prince, George V. with long and happy vears to reign over us.” The new king, after this proclama- tion, will address the council and promise to reign as constitutional sovereign. At the conclusion of the meeting King George will issue his first proclamation requiring all officials to proceed with their duties.

He Was Ruler of Great Britain Less Than Ten Years—Active and Suc- cessful Statesman—AlImost Univer- ily Loved. London, May 7.—When Edward VIIL breathed his last there came to a close the life of a unique personality. He was loved aimost universally, first of all as a man whose natural attri- butes made him dear to the hearts of his subjects, and next as a monarch whose ability to fulfil the role which he was called on to assume was dem- onstrated conspicuously. “Edward VII by the grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British dominions beyond the seas, king, defender of the faith, emperor of India,” was his title. Subject to fierce criticism in his youth because of his manner of life, he lived down a rather unenviable rep- utation through long vears of mmore careful conduct and succeeded in win- ning the confidence of all the people as almost no other sovereign of Great Britain except his mother, Qugen Vic- toria, had done. “Idol of the People. As a statesman, he was active and s, The fact that he was the idol of the people made him a use- ful instrument of the ministry, and enabled him at the same time to wield more influence. than ~had been con- He known advice element of sympathy.” =ai ical standpoint. an ardent love for sports.

Enthusiast Sportsman, It was as a sportsman that the British_people loved most to think of him. He was an enthusiastic patron of horse racing and was fond of yacht racing, cricket, athletics and shooting. His love of cards was almost a pas- sion in his earlier days and his gam- bling for high stakes got him in trou- ble several times. When, in 1908 his horse Minoru won the Derby at Ep- som, there was a scene of enthusiasm at _the track which was unparalleled. Twice before he became king he won the Derby, with Persimmon in 1896, and with Diamond Jubilee in 1900. A Typical Englishman. In personal appearance the king was the typical Englishman. He was San Jose, Costa Rica, May 6.—The earthquake which laid waste the town of Cartago, in_the province of Cartago. oceurred at 6.50 o'clock on Wednesday night.

He wore his gray beard trimmed to a sharp point. His thin circle of gray hair diminished until he was :quite bald. Even in his latter days he con- tinued to be one of the best dressed men in Kurope and was regarded as a model for quiet refinement of dress and bearing. At the state functions in which. he participated King Edward revived all the pomp and circumstances of me- djeval days. He drove to Westmin- ster on the opening of parliament in one of "the sumptuous royal coaches, attended by heralds, equerries and outriders, and a vast retinue, forming a pageant of royal splendor. On these occasions the king wore the full robes of majesty. Always Frank, Loyal, Warm Hearted. Tactfulness, which he possessed to a marked degree. was a conspicuous characteristic of the late king, though he was frank, loyal and warm heart- ed always. Those who associated with him have said that he was emphafi- cally the “good fellow” simple and courteous, but a stickler for the def- erence which his rank demanded.

On April 4.: 1900, when as a prince, in Brussells, Jean Sipido, a boy of 15 years-years, fired at him as he was seated in.a railway coach. The shot did no harm. The boy was held to be mentally irresponsible. A plot to assassinate him and King Carlos of Portugal while he was in Lisbon in 1903, was discovered and frustrated: The king was always a great trav- eler and was nearly as well known on the boulevards of Paris and in the ca- sinos of Biarritz and Homburg as he was along Piccadilly.
