The trip had nothing to>do with the exposition, being merely a courtesy on the part of the Los Angeles business men, but the San Franciscans, thorough ly enthusiastic over . the forthcoming fair, were not going to allow the oppor tunity to pass without aiding the ex position fund. Accordingly, when they left yesterday, about 50 strong, they carried with them badges of an ex ceeding flossiness, on which was por trayed a -motherly hen on a nest of egg 6, and around the pictorial effect the word*.

L LONDON, May 7.— Edward VII, king of Great Britain, died at 11:45 o'clock last night. , c • The prince of Wales, assuming the title of George V, will- take oath before the privy council at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Coming so suddenly, the death of the king can not but bring- the greatest sorrow to the nation, in -whose hearts Edward, first as prince of Wales and afterward as. sovereign, held first place. HAD STIRRING REIGN - ;=** - ~ v Edward VI Fs short reign has been a history of stirring times. It opened with the conclusion of peace after a long and trying campaign in South Africa, and concludes at the crisis of one of the most momentous political struggles of modern times between the peers and commons. In a day the I political outlook of Great Britain has been revolutionized. • Gathered around the bedside of the dying king were the queen and princesses. No hope had been held out through the day for the recoTery of his majesty, 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 orders, bat on Wednesday he was compelled to submit to physicians' orders. Since then until; the end his decline was rapid. - LONDON, May 7.— King Edward VII, who returned tc England from a vacation 10 days ago in the best of health, died after an illness of less than a week. He was seriously ill hardly more than three day*. The prince of Wales succeeded to the throne immediately, according to the laws of England, without official ceremony. His first omctal act, m pursuance of custom, was to dispatch to the lord mayor the ansotmceixietit of his father's death. His telegram read: "I am deeply grieved to inform you that my beloved father, the Htrg, passed away peacefully at 11:45 tonight. GEORGE." The physicians soon afterward issued their official bulletin, which foQorcrs; May 6, 11:50 p. m. — His majesty the king breathed his last at 11:45 to night in the presence of her majesty Queen Alexandra, the prince and prin cess of Wales, princess royal, the duchess of Fife, Princess Victoria, and Princess Louise, the duchess of Argyll. !,, REID. .TXAWSON. PNEUMONIA PROBABLE CAUSE \u25a0 Pneumonia, following bronchitis, is believed to have been the eatzse cf .death, but the doctors thus far have refused to make a statement. Some of the king's frfends are convinced that worry over the political situation aggra vated if it did not cause the fatal illness. Besides the few relatives in England, the duke of Fife and the arch bishop of Canterbury were in the death chamber. The king's brother, the duke of Connaught, with his family, is at Suez, hastening home from Africa. The king's daughter, Queen Maud of Norway, will start for England to morrow. , The intelligence- that the end of King / Edward's reign had come was not a surprise at the last. The people had been expecting it any hour since the evening bulletin was posted at Buckingham palace and flashed throngh^ out the kingdom. The capital received, it without excitement, but sadly, for '. the king -with his own people was unquestionably one of the most popular rulers in the world. They regarded him as one of the strongest forces making for the stability of the peace of the -empire. NEWS RECEIVED QUIETLY !§jf* The fashionable restaurants were just emptying and a few groups of late theater goers were making their way homeward through the rain, while a small crowd hung about" the palace, when the streets' were filled suddenly with newsboys, shrilly crying, "Death of the king." The papers were quickly seized, and .the people discussed the momentous event quietly and soon dis persed. The streets .were deserted" by 1 o'clock. ' Within a few minutes after the death'of the king the home office was telegraphing the intelligence to the heads of other governments and the diplomats and colonial officials throughout the world. V.; /All who : knew the king expected his death would be sudden, and it would, not have occasioned surprise if it had occurred without warning a,t*some social function, as a result of heart trouble.
