THE HORSING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, JAM7ARY 24, 1901. ACCESSION OF KING The Oath Administered to EciwarcUhe Seventh. MEETING OF PRIVY COUNCIL Uembcri of the House of Lords and Home of Commons Toole tlie Oatli of Allegiance to the SfeTV Sovereign. LONDON, Jan. 24. 'An extraordinary Issue- of the Gazette this morning:, which appears -with block borders, announces the death of Queen Victoria, adding: "The event has caused one universal feeling' Ol regret and sorrow to Her Maj esty's faithful subjects, to whom she was endeared by the deep interest In their welfare which she Invariably manifested, as well as by many signal virtues which marked and adorned her character." Then follows the proclamation of Ed ward VII, the acknowledgment of alleg iance by the Privy Council, and the King's speech at his accession. The speech was as follows: "Your Boyai Highnesses, Lords and Gentlemen: This is the most painful oc casion on which I shall ever be called to address you. My first and melancholy duty is to announce to you the death of my beloved mother, the Queen, nd 1 know how deeply you and thewhole na tion, and I think I may say, the whole world, sympathize with me in the Ir reparable loss we have all sustained. I need hardly say that my constant en deavor will be always to walk In her footsteps. In undertaking the heavy load which now devolves upon me, I am fully determined to be a constitutional sover eign in the strictest sense of the word, and so long as there is breath In my body to work good and amelioration of my people. I have resolved to be known by the name of Edward, which has been borne by six of my ancestors. In doing bo I do not undervalue the name of Al bert, which I inherit from my ever to be lamented great and wise father, who, by universal consent. Is, I think, deserved ly known by the namo of Albert the Good and I desire that his name should stand alone. In conclusion, I trust to Parlia ment and to the nation to support me in the arduous duties which now devolve upon me by inheritance, and to which I am determined to devote my whole strength during the remainder of my life." After giving a list of those who at tended the council, the Gazette announces that the King subscribed the oath re lating to the security of the Church of Scotland. It concludes with the King's formal proclamation ordering all officers and persons in authority throughout his dominions to continue to exercise their offices during the royal pleasure, and ex horting his subjects to aid and assist such officers in the performance and execution of their duties. The sorrow felt throughout the empire Is described in a succession of constant telegram arriving from every Important town in the colonies, all telling of the suspension of business, the closing of theaters, the displaying of mourning emblems and arrangements for memorial services. All the Governors have sent on behalf of their respective colonies tele grams of condolence to King Edward and Joseph Cnamberlain, Secretary of State for the Colonies. The Marquis of Lans downe. Minister of Foreign Affairs, has received from the German Ambassador a letter on behalf of the Diplomatic Corps, expressing Its sympathy and condolence. The Kind's Title. T morning papers record with the greatest satisfaction tlat the King has taken tn tkle of Edward VII. Thev are filled from end to end with descriptions of jesterday's ceremonies and accounts of i.ie reception of the news of the death and the accession throughout the United Kingdom and In all parts of the world. Xing Edward's first speech is also ap- piauaeu. rne uaily Telegraph sa j: "It was admirable, touching and breathing deep sincerity. It does equal honor to the monarch and the man. and will carry n. further sense of hope and confidence to the country In Its trouble." King Edward will return to Osborne Immediately after the proclamation cere mony tomorrow. Regaru.ng the cause of death, tho Lan cent says: "Death was due to cerebral failure. Transient but recurring symp toms of apathy and torpor, with aphasio conditions, gave great uneasiness to the physicians a few days before the finish. The symptoms grew steadily graver, but the heart's action, was maintained throughout, and the temperature was normal." Among the Innumerable telegrams of sympathy that continue pouring In from abroad, President McKlnley's gives the greatest pleasure. The Dally Chronicle remarks: "It is believed that President McKlnley's was the first to reach the Prince of Wales under his new title, and Just as Frederick the Great was the' first European sovereign to recognize the in dependence of vtie United States, so now the President of the United States has been first to recognize the Kingship of iie grandson of the monarch against whoso authority the American colonists successfully rebelled. This Is very touch ing when one remembers the visk of the Prince of "Wales to Washington's tomb. Probably It w,as some remembrance of that incident which made President Mc Klnley hasten to be first to salute the Prince of Wales as King, and the com pliment, we are told, was most keenly appreciated." The Standard says: "It is not for mere chow that the Americans have received the news of the death of Queen Victoria as a bereavement of their own and com mented upon it In terms such as they would employ In the case of an honored President dying In office." The King, who remains in London over night, was driven to Buckingham Pal ace, after taking the oath by the Privy Council, and dined there with tho Duchess of Albany. Subsequently he went to .Marlborough House to sleep. It Is understood that he will return to Osborne this morning to direct the funeral arrangements. These were dis cussed at a meeting of authorities of the royal household at Buckingham Pal ace last evening. At the College of Arms It was said that the date for the funeral could not be settled until it was known when the European royalties or their representatives would arrive, but that the function would be held at the earliest possible date for the convenience of Emperor William, whose stay In Eng land might be unavoidably limited. Buck ingham Palace is being made ready for the royal persons who arc arriving in London. Scenes in London. LONDON. Jan. 23. London has donned a garb" of mourning from end to end and an early hour found a thick fog envelop ing the city like a pall, a fitting accom paniment of the funereal apparel of every one. Threughout the West End drawn blinds are the order of the day. while on all the embassies, government offices and public buildings the flags are half masted. The law courts, the stock ex change and all the produce and metal exchanges threughout the country only assembled to close Immediately after the presiding officers bad addressed to the members a few words of tribute to the dead monarch. There were exceptionally large congre gations in churches In all parts of the country. At St. Paul's Cathedral the prayers for the royal family were altered to read, "for our Sovereign Lord, the King, and the Queen consort." All the services were ended by the playing of .tho dead march. The various naval and military stations fired a salute of 81 guns at midday to signalize the death of the Queen, one gun for each completed year of the Queen's age. The public build ings , are . being draped with black,' the stores are displaying signs of mourning and business Is practically at a stand still Dense crowds, beginning at St James street, llneyl the entire route to Victoria Station from an early hour, until the Mall and the front of Buckingham Palace were especially thronged. All along the for mer place to Marlborough House, car riages filled with ladles stood as If for a drawing room, except that the coach men, footmen -and occupants -were all dressed in mourning. The police precau tions were unusual. Men on foot and mounted guarded almost every yard of the way. The crowds waited patiently for hours to greet their King. Finally, preceded by half a dozen mounted policemen, the new sovereign arrived in a plain brougham, which was driven very rapidly, with the coachman and footman in their usual gray liveries, with mourning bands on their arms. An equerry was seated beside him. The King was, of course, dressed In the deepest and most simple mourning, and carefully raised his hat Irt acknowledgment of the silent uncovering of heads, which was more Impressive than the most enthusiastic cheers. The THE LATE QUEEN'S PHYSICIANS. Sir Richard Douglas Powell. King looked tired and very sad, but very well. Following him came the Duke of York, the Duke of Connaught and oth ers. Both the King and the Duke of York looked pathetically up at Bucking ham Palace as they passed, and acknow ledged the salute of the guard of honor drawn up inside the palace grounds. The troops there and, elsewhere showed no signs of mourning, excejft that the bands were not present and all the officers had crepe on their sleeves. TThe King drove to St. James' Palace from Marlborough House to preside at the first Privy Council, by way of Marl borough House yard, the Mall and th6 garden entrance of the palace. He was attended by Lord Duffleld and was es corted by a Captain's escort of the Horse Guards. The procedure was exactly as on levee days. ICinR- Takes the Oath. By the time the King arrived a great gathering of Privy Councillors, In levee dress, with crepe on their left arms, had taken up positions In the throneroom Cabinet Ministers, peers. commoners, bishops. Judges, the Lord Mayor, etc. Lord Salisbury, Lord Roseberry, A. J, Balfour, the Duke of Devonshire, Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal and a host of the most prominent personages in the land were there to receive the King's formal oath binding him to govern the j kingdom according to its laws and cus toms, end hear him assume the title i of King Edward VII of Great Britain i and Ireland, nnd Emperor of India. The ceremony was interesting. Accord- I lng to precedent,, the King was In a sep- ! arate apartment from the Privy Coun cillors. To the latter the Duke of Devon shire, Lord President of the Council, formallv co Suinlcated the death of Queen Victoria and the succession to the throne of her son, the Prince of Wales. The royal Dukes, with certain Lords of the Council, were then directed to repair to the King's presence to acquaint hint with the terms of the Lord President's statement. Shortly afterward His Majesty entered the room in which the Councillors were assembled and addressed them In a brief speech. The Lord Chan cellor (Lord Halsbury) then administered the oath to the King. Afterwards, the various members of the Council, com mencing with Lords in Council, took the oath of allegiance and then passed In turn before His Majesty, as at a levee, excepting that each paused and kissed the King's hand before passing out of the chamber. This brought the ceremony to a close. Edward's Speech. Mingling with the royal dukes and great personages of the kingdom were a few men In plain clothes to represent the fact that the general public have a nominal right to be present. The King wore a Field Marshal's uniform and the ribbon of the Order of the Garter. When he began his speech his voice was pain fully broken with emotion, but he re covered as he went on. His brief speech was dellered with great earnestness and was quite extemporaneous. At the last moment the King decided not to attend the House of Lords today. By 3:30 P. M., when His Majesty re turned to Marlborough House, the crowd In the neighborhood was of immense pro portions. The. King's prior Journey was accomplished in almost complete silence, but on this occasion he was lustily cheered all along the line of route. Im mediately opposite Marlborough House gates a tall gentleman In front of the crowd waved his hat and shouted "Long 1 live the King," whereupon the crowd cheered with redoubled vigor. At 4:30 P. M. the artillery began firing salutes In St. James' Park to signalize King Edward's accession to the throne. Among the Incidents of the day was an Imposing civic procession. The Lord Mayor and Aldermen, accompanied by the. City Marshal, mace-bearer and other members of the corporation, escorted by a strong body of police, proceeded from the Mansion House, by way of the Thames Embankment and Trafalgar Square, to St. James' Palace, in gilded equipages, with liveried outriders, includ ing 20 semi-state carriages, making a notable picture, which was witnessed by thousands of silent people, who filled the sidewalks along the entire route. Allegiance of Parliament. The House of Lords and the House of Commons assembled at 4 o'clock, and took the oath of allegiance to the new sovereign. The attendance In the House of Commons was large. All the mem bers, dressed In the deepest mourning, stood up as the speaker, Mr. Gully, en tered and announced that, by reason of the deeply lamented decease of Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, it had become their duty to take the oath of allegiance to her successor. His Majesty, King Ed ward VIL The speaker then administered the oath and the swearing In of the members proceeded. Joseph Chamber lain, the Secretary of Stato for the Col onies.

Tributes to the Dead from the Con tinental Parliaments German Press Eulogises Her Virtues. BERLIN, Jan. 23. The Imperial Chan cellor, Count von Bulow, addressing the Reichstag today, said that during the long reign of Queen Victoria she had always directed her efforts to the culti vation of peaceful and friendly relations between uermany and Great Britain. He added: "Not only the near klnsmanshlp of our Imperial house to the English royal family, but also the manifold economic and political Interests which bind Ger many and England induce us to share sincerely in the mourning of the British for their venerable ruler. I am certain that it 13 in consonance with the feel ings of. the House when I express this sympathy." The members listened standing. The president of the House followed in a similar strain, and a resolution was adopt ed authorizing the president to convey Sir James Reld. to the Emperor and Dowager Empress the sympathy of the Reichstag. The president of the Unterhaus at the opening of the sitting announced tho death of Queen Victoria, and asked au thority to express to the Emperor and Empress Frederick the sympathy of the House. The deputies listened standing, and granted the authority asked for. It Is understood that the Crown Prince of Germany, Frederick William, will at tend the Queen's funeral. The court has been ordered to go Into mourning for four weeks. The Empress has arrived at Hom burg and proceeded to the royal castle In order to be near Dowager Empress Frederick. All the morning papers are highly ap preciative of the late Queen Victoria's reign, and concur In eulogizing her vir tues as a sovereign, but while praising her character they add general political re flections unfriendly to Great Britain, par ticularly In connection with the Boer war. The Tageblatt considers her death to be of serious political significance in a mo ment when Great Britain Is Involved with the South African war and the China question is not solved. The paper adds: "A large part of the world -which con demns the war in South Africa as under taken by "Messrs. Chamberlain and Rhodes and other mining speculators for their self-enrichment and the destruction of a little, freedom-loving, heroic people, will see In her death at such a moment a large measure of Divine Justice, for, ac cording to trustworthy information. It cannot be doubted that the unfavorable turn of the war for the English arms during the past few months bore heavily on the Queen's heart and contributed to hastening her end. "The manifold threads of relationship between Great Britain and Germany cause Germany to regard the Queen as above all the grandmother of our Em peror and it has proved the most endur ing bond between the two countries." The Boersen Courier praises the Queen as a model of beautiful human qualities, and adds: "History knows but few ex amples of such a pure, noble womanly figure upon a throne. Foreign peoples record her as a noble woman and as a honor to her sex." The Berliner Neuste Nachrichten praises the Queen's good will toward Germany and says: "She saw Germany's rise with out envy." Continuing, the paper surmises that the change in the throne will not affect British Influence or the grouping of the powers. The North German Gazette says: "The British emotion Is similar to that which stirred our hearts at the death of our first Emperor. As that closed the Will iam age In Germany, so the Victorian age Is now closed in Great Britain." The Klein Journal says: "With her life closed a volume of the history of mankind around her. Everyone will feel the deep thrill caused by the opening of the new age." The Lokal Anzeiger says: "The Queen remains one of the most gracious figures tnat ever adorned the throne of Eng land." The Post says: "The QUeen welded the Empire Into closer bonds than ever be fore and fruitfully upheld and Increased Its position as a power of Iho world." The Kreus Zeltung says: "The German people fully share the sad event which has brought such heavy grief upon a kindred people." The Cologne Gazette pays a glowing tribute to the memory and to the vir tues of the deceased Queen, and halls ue new sovereign as a "gracious and af table Prince, free from prejudice and ripe in the experience of the world." Those qualities, it adds, guarantee an un disturbed continuance of the excellent re lations between Great Britain and Ger many. The Kins' Influence. The tone of the press toward the new King Is varied. The Post emphasizes his most cordial relations with Emperor Will iam, wnich, It adds, have not been with out influence upon his political opinions, 'it e Deutsche Tage Zeltung points to King Edward's close relations In the past with the British chartered South Africa Company. Mr. Rhodes and Mr. Chamber lain, concluding therefrom that he will not throw his Influence for peace condi tions acceptable to the Boers, and calls him no friend of Germany, but an advo cate of intimate relations between Great Britain and France. The paper adds: "It would be all right for us If he prevailed with such views, for It would then be easier to find again our natural posi tion." The Vorwaerts says: "He has been sat isfied with the reputation of being the best dressed man in Europe and has never shown mental gifts of understand ing for more serious conditions. His ac quaintance with the demimonde of all the European capitals will make it easy for him to follow in the footsteps of the three Georges." The Cologne Volks Zeltung emphasizes that Emperor William's visit to England Is of purely a private character. Emperor William's message announcing Queen Victoria's death to his mother was addressed to his sister. Princess Victoria, who broke the news to the Empress Fred erick. The latter was deeply moved. The imperial yacht Hohenzollern. the cruiser Nymphe and the tender Slelpner have started for England, taklngt by .or der of Emperor William, the first di dlsion of marines and band. The Official Gazette contains the follow ing imperial rescript: "Osborne, Jan. 23. The death of my be loved, highly honored and never-to-be-forgotten grandmother, Victoria, has plunged me and my house mto deepest mourning. I know my army sincerely shares in the grievous loss I have sus tained and I hereby prder that all officers of my army shall wear mourning for 14 days. The First Dragoon Guard of the regular army shall go into mourning for luree weeks. Flags on all military .and public buildings shall be half-masted. "WILHELM."

"For grip and winter catarrh especially It has been of great service to the inmates of this Institution." Sisters of the Good Shepard. There Is no other disease so many-sided in its HI effects, so insidious in its ap proach, so tenacious In its hold upon the system as la grippe. Once there, It stays until It Is cured.

There is no remedy in the world that meets the conditions produced by la grippe better than the remedy Peruna. Peruna strengthens as it renovates, soothes while it stimulates, heals as It expurgates.
