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

ALL EUROPE MOURNING
WIDESPREAD SORROW OVER THE
DEATH OF THE QUEEN.
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.

Gentlemen "A number of years ago our attention tvas
called to Dr. Hartman's Peruna, and since then we have
used it with wonderful results for grip, coughs, colds, and
catarrhal diseases of the head and stomach.
"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. La grippe Is one of
the ills that time will not 'cure.
The after-effects of la grippe do not
locate in any particular organ It amounts
to a general irritability of the mucous
membranes of tho whole body a flabbl
ness and paleness of the mucous mem
brane. Sometimes there is an over
amount of thin, watery mucous secreted,
and at other times there ts a dryness of
the mucous surfaces.
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.
Peruna Is not a purgative, or cathartic,
oj-gedatlve, or stlmplant. nor ft vegetable
ojmlneral poison. It reaches the source
of .all diseases of the mucous membranes
'by its .action on .the vaso-motor system

I was attacked with la grippe. I had a
terrible cough. I asked my wife to get
me a bottle of Peruna, but as the drug
gist did not have it. she got me something
else that was highly recommended for la
grippe, costing the same as Peruna. I
took that, but was not able to leave the
bed.
"I told my wife that if I did not get
Peruna soon, that I would surely be a
grippe victim, as
my lungs felt as
If knives were
sticking in them.
"My wife went to
town and cot me a
botlie of Peruna,
and I took it four
days, according to
the directions on
tho bottle. The
fifth day I took an
ax on my shoulder
and went out Into
tho woods to chop
wood.
" I had another
slight attack, but as X had peruna in the

Mrs. Jane Gift, of Hobbardsvllle, O.,
writes the following: "I think I would
have been dead long ago if It had not
been for Peruna. Six years ago I had
la gripne very bad. The doctor came to
see me every day, but I gradually grew
worse."' I told my husband I thought I
would surely die if I did not get relief
soon.
"One day I picked up the newspaper and
accidentally found a testimonial of a
woman w'ho had been cured ot la grippe
by Peruna. I told my husband I wanted.
to try it. He went directly to the drug
store and gut a bottle of Peruna. I could
see the Improvement in a vfiry short time,
and was soon able to do my work. I con
tinued using it until I was entirely cured.
"I have Induced a great many to try
the medicine, and all have had the samo
result. I have used It In my family for
my husband and children for colds and la
grippe. I would not be without It In tho
bouse. I really think It has added years
to my life, and 1 feel I have no one to
thank but God and Dr. Hartman. If other
sufferers are induced to try this wonder
ful medicine, they will Join me In singing
its praises." Mrs. Jane Gift.
