LONDON, May 16.—~Theodore Rousevelt, of King Edward VII, arrived in London | this morning and was recelved by King | George at Marlborough house and later visited the throne room In Buckingham palace, where the body of the late monarch | is privately lying in state. The entrance to the city of the dis- tinguished American was a qulet one and in marked contrast with his uppearance at other capitals and with what would have been made of the occasicn here but for the demise of the British ruler. It was whit Monday holiday, bt despite | this fact the popular crowd at Victorfa sta- | tion was a small one. There was no cheer- ing, but as Mr. Roosevelt alighted from the train and was escorted by Ambassador Reid to the royal carriage, which had been sent for him, those who looked on silentiy lifted their hats. The Roosevelt party, which included Mrs, Roosevelt, Miss Roosevelt and Kermit, left Berlin at noon vesterday and reached lushing, Holland, lust nidnight. They | continued on the regular boat to Quesns- borough, England, where a special train | was in waiting for them and which pre- | ceded the regular express to London, ar- | riving at Victoria station fifteen minutes earlier than the regular train, which fol- lowed at 7:46 o'clock. Met by King's Representative. | At Queensborough Mr. Roosevelt was joined by the aldes appointed to attend on Commander Charles E. F. Cunningham Graham, and by Vice Admiral Sir George Neville, commanding a division of the home tleet, who recelved the former presf dent in the name of the King. The transter to tie special was quickly made, and at 6 o'clock the party pro- l at 7:30 o'clock. It had been supposed that Mr, Roosevelt would arrive on the regular train, and this fact may have accounted In part for the comparatively small crowa At the statfon. On the station platform awaiting the Roosevelts were Ambassador and Mr Reld and the members of the American | embassy and thelr wives, all dressed in mourning; Consul General Griffiths ana the staff of the - consulate, Robert Wynne, former American consul general at London; Ogden W. Reld, of the and a small group of American resident here. There was no music, waving of flags or other demonstra- tion, When the greetings had been ex- changed, Lord Dundonald escorted the Roosevelts and Ambassador and Mrs, Rerd to the royal carriages, which had been placed at their disposal by the king, and they were driven at to Dorchester house, the home of the ambassador. Later, accompanied by Mr. Reld, Mr. Roosevelt, In the capacity of special Amari- ceyn, ambassudor, visited the king at Marl- borough House. Following his reception by the monarch, he was escorted to Bucking- ham palace and shown into the throne room where, on the catalfalque, reposes the body of King Edward. Mr. Roosevelt was accompanied to the palace by Mrs. Roose- velt and the members of the Amerlcan embassy and thefr wives. ! The Victoria station is closely picketed and patrolled by the police. Every entrance and exit is guarded and all applicants for admission are scrutinized. This precaution is taken for the protection of all the mem.- bers of royalty and other official repre- sentatives who are coming here for the| tuneral son once — FOR OHIO BANKER Walker, President Cleveland Coneer Five Years.
