political reflections unfriendly to Great

The Tageblatt considers her death to be
of serious political significance in a mo

by a captata> escort of the Horse Guarde.
The procedure was exactly as on levee
By the time the King arrived a great
[ gathering of Privy "councilors in levee

taken up position* in the thronerocm-

dom according: to its Iaw3 and customs,
and hear him assume the title of King
Howard VII of Great Eritain and Ireland
and Emperor of India. The ceremony
¦was interesting and according to prece

latter the Duke of Devonshire. Lord Pres
ident cf the Council, formally comunl-
C2ted the death of Queen Victoria ar.d the
Euccession to the throne of her son. the
Prince of Wales. The Uoyal Dukes, with
certain Lordi? of the Council, were then
directed to repair to the King's presence
f> ewja'.r.t him with the terms of the
ord President's statement.'
Mingling with the loyal Dukes and
,,reat personages of the kingdom were a
I few men in plain clothee to represent the
' fact that the §gj»eral public have a nomi
nal right to be present- The King won*
& field marshal's uniform and the ribbon
of the Order of the Garter. As he began j
his epeech hi» voice was painfully broken
with emotion, but he recovered as he
went on.
Shortly afterward his Majesty entered
the room to which the councilors were
assembled and addressed them In a brief
epeech. The Lord Chancellor (Lord Salis
bury) then administered the oath to the
King. Afterward the carious members of
the Council, commencing with Lords in
Council, took the oath of allegiance and
then passed in tarn before his Majesty as
et a levee, excepting that each paused
and kissed the King's hand before passing
out of the chamber. This brought lh»
ceremony to a close*
By 2:30 p. m.. when his Majesty returned
Maryborough Hot^e, the crowd In the
T^ighborhood was of immense proportions.
TV? King's prior Journey was accom
plished in almost complete silence, but on
tkis occasion he "was lustily cheered all
alor.g the line of route.

with mourning bands on their arms. An
enuerry was seated beside him. The King i
wss. of course, dressed in the deepest and j
most simple mourning, and carefully j
mJsed his hat in acknowledgment of the ¦
eilent uncovering of heads, which was j
raore lmpr»**ive than the most enthusias- j
tie cheers. The King looked tlre-1 and '
\-ery «ad. but very well. Following him ,
came the Duke of Tork, the Duke of Con- i
naught and others. Both the King and i
the Duke of York looked pathetically up j
at Buckingham Palace as they passed, and j
acknowledged the salute of the guard of ]
honor drawn up inside the palace grounds. J
The troops there and elsewhere showed no
signs cf mourning, except that the bands
were not present, btt all the officers had

m. — At 11 o'clock this morning: the mem
bers of the royal family will gather
around the body of the late Queen, which
lies in a simple coffin, the chapelle ar
dente. festooned with red and white hang
ings. The Bishop of Winchester, standing
before an altar removed for the occasion
from the private chapel, will read a por
tion of the service for the dead.
The coffin rests on a specially erected
platform draped' with royal purple, the
feet lying: to the east. The head faces
the simple altar. Over the features is a
thin veil.
For a ffcw hours before this service the
public will be admitted to the room and
allowed to view the remains of the sov
ereign who for so long 1 ruled over them.
The body will rest there until Sunday,
and It is probable that no removal will
occur for ten days.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press learns that the cause of the
Queen's death as officially given was
"senile decay."
The doctors have adopted this expres
sion as most suitable and. truthful. They
attribute the paralysis which attacked
her as secondary to the general -weakness
of her condition, nor Is It considered ad
visable, for reasons of state, to' Intimate
that her Intellect was dimmed '¦¦ by that
particular form of disease.
Details of the dying hours were not ob
tainable until last evening. It appears
that the Queen was moved on Sunday
from her big bed into a small cot especial
ly built with spring?, which was .Bur
rounded by a screen.* t This was to "enable
the doctors to reach the patient easily on
both sides, which was impossible when
she lay In a bed six feet wide. In this
small bed she passed away. . *
When Emperor William arrived * he
