Christian IX, the aged King of Denmark, dean of the crowned heads of Europe, father of Kins George of Greece, of ' T i KW KING AND QUEEN" OF I 4 Frederick and His "Wife, Louisa. t . . .i.4 Queen Alexandra of Great Britain and Ireland and of the Dowager Empress Ma ria Feodorovna, of Russia, grandfather of King Haakon VII of Norway, and related by blood or by marriage to most of the European rulers, died with startling sud denness in the Amalienbcrg palace this afternoon. The accession of his succes sor. Prince Frederick, his eldest son, who will be known as Frederick VIII, will be proclaimed tomorrow. The following official bulletin -was is sued this afternoon: His majoety dld nt 3:50 o'clock this after noon. After ltis inajosty had brought this morning's audience to a close he appeared to bp flulte well and proceeded to luncheon nf. usual. Toward the end of the morning he gave evidence of indisposition and was compelled to retire to bed at 2:30 P. M. His majesty passed away peacefully, the symptoms Indicating heart failure. This bulletin tells concisoly the s-lory of the deatli scene, -which found everyone, even those who realized the increasing feebleness of the King, unprepared for tile sudden shock. Half the Courts in Mourning. The death of King Christian has jJcngeu half the courts of Europe ln;o i lie "deepest mourning and brought a sense -of personal loss uy well as of sincere grief to every one throughout tHp kingdom of Denmark, Teaching even to the humblest cottage, evidences of which are shown every where tonight. It has cast a pall over the monarchs of Great Britain, Russia, Norway and Greece. The quick taking away of the distinct personality -who has for so long been a center of interest not only In his own country, but throughout the civilized world, almost paralyzed the community and unnerved the business world of Den mark. Even late tonight men of affairs are only recovering from the shock and beginning to prepare for the changed con ditions. Every flag in the city is at half mast, all places of amusement are closed and the people walk the streets as though they were passing through the chamber of death Itself. Tills afternoon, when the flag flying over the palace was placed at half mast, the news spread from mouth to mouth. It was not believed by the great crowds which gradually assembled in the square in front of the Amalienberg palace, but, when uncertainty gave place to. certain ty, those in the assemblage shed tears and , dispersed in respectful silence, many baring their heads and saluting the pal ace as they went "by. Collapse Came Suddenly. King Christian appeared to be in his usual health this morning. After taking breakfast he held 4 a public audience, which it has been his custom to do every Monday morning. The reception today was largely attended and His Majesty conversed freely and affably with a num ber of officials and other persons. "When the function was over, the King, though appearing to be slightly fatigued, attend ed luncheon with the members of his fam ily, among whom were the Dowager Em press of Russia and his brother. General Prince- Hans. During the meal His Maj esty complained of indisposition and was assisted to "his bedroom by ths Dowager Empress and Prince "Hans. A court phy sician was summoned, but by the time he arrived the King had collapsed. The physician used prompt restoratives, but his efforts were useless and King Chris tian expired, almost without uttering a word, in the arms of the Dowager Em press and in the presence of the court physician and Prince Hans. Just as the King breathed his last. Crown Prince Frederick entered the room and the other members of the royal family arrived shortly afterward. Nothing' is definitely known tonight concerning-, the arrangements for tne funeral, and it will necessarily be some time before anything is officially an nounced. Telegrams and cablegrams of condo lence are pouring1 in tonight, includ ing messages from all the sovereigns of Europe and the Danish colonies. Announce News in Parliament. Premier Christensen tonight ten dered the resignation of the Cabinet to the new King, who expressed a wish that the present ministry should con tinue to. carry on the affairs of the government. Both houses of Parlia ment will assemble tomorrow, when their respective presidents will formal ly announce the death of King Chris tian. At 3 o'clock tills afternoon the members will assemble In the hall of the Folkthlng- to receive the royal mes sage announcing the accession of Fred crick VIIL Public announcement of the death of King- Christian and the accession of King Frederick will he made at noon from a balcony of the Amalienberg palace. It had been known for some time that King Christian's health was fall ing. His physicians recommonded a change of air, and the King decided to take their advice. It was his intention to go south in the near future, accom panied by the Dowager Empress of Russia. Incredulous About Xews. So totally unexpected was the death of the King- that many members of the diplomatic corps at first refused to be lieve the news. The Russian minister to Denmark, who had attended the au dience in the forenoon, was called on the telephone by the Russian minister at Christiana and Informed of King Christian's death, to which he re plied: "It is not true I have come directly from the palace." The minister declined to believe the news until he verified it by again vis iting the palace. The King died In the small and plainly furnished bedroom facing- the palace grardens, which he had occupied for many years. When the attack came on his majesty declined other as sistance than the mere loosening; of his uniform. The face in death bears a peaceful expression. The. aide de camp of the late King- and the gentle men in waiting are keeping; watch to night in the death chambor. New King an Old Man. The new King of Denmark, who will ascend the throne In his 62d year, hears the weight of his years lightly, and Js almost as popular with the peo ple of Denmark as was his father. By the wish of his parents he was brought up wlth.srrcat simplicity, and his earli er education whs obtained tho town grammar school, for not until he was 10 years old was the difficult ques tion of- his father's succession to the Danish throno Anally settled. It was Frederick's curious fate to sec his younger brother and his own son he come reigning monarchs of Greece and Norway respectively, while he himself was still an heir apparent. The new King has been highly popu lar since his earliest youth. His bear ing is stately and his manner quiet. He is noted for his culture and pos sesses many foreign distinctions. While seldom openly identifying himself with political question's, he has taken an active part in all public movements and Is a constant attendant at all im portant debates In the Rigsdag. He la chancellor of the Copenhagen Univer sity and head of the Free Masons of Denmark, and Is well known as a pro moter of all philanthropic objects. Kin Interest In the army, of which he is Inspector General, is keen, and he has introduced several reforms which havo KlHjr Christian ef Denmark. improved the lot of private soldiers, as the result of which he is extremely popular with the troops. Little can be predicted as to the. new King's public policy, and it Is not known whether or not he will simply follow in the footsteps of his father. Queen Louisa Rich and Handsome. The new Queen, Louisa, is reputed to be the tallest and richest Princess in Europe. Shje is a handsome woman of the hlonde type, and reflects the beauty of her famous grandmother, Desirce Clary, the tradesman's daughter who captivated Bonaparte and married Mar shal Bernadottc, who subsequently be came King of Sweden and Norway. The new Queen Inherited large fortunes both from Prince Frederick of the Netherlands and Prince Charles of Sweden. Nevertheless, she . and her husband have adhered to the simplicity characteristic of the Danish court, showing the nation the happy.spcctacle of a united couple living on terms of the closest affection and sympathy with their eight children. Though they have paid many visits to foreign courts; they are essentially a home keeping couple, when compared with most royal personages. Frederick Js credited with having a less determined character than his futhcr,' while 'it is whispered that the new ijueen possesses the stronger character of the two, and possibly this latter -fact will have considerable in fluence on the policy of the new King. Both are deeply imbued .with religious convictions. Their eldest daughter, the Princess of Schaumburg-Llppe, Is now lying dangerously III in Hungary. KInjr Christian was born April $. ISIS, and was. the son of the Duke of Schltswlg-Hol-atein-Londerburg-Glueckcbur?, whose titles he Inherited. He was the ftm of his line to become King; of Denmark, his predecessor, Frederick VI r, last of the house of Olden burg; having died without heirs. The ex tinction of the Oldenburgs was anticipated by the powers as well as the King and peo ple, and after protracted negotiations a treaty was signed In London by representa tives of Great Britain," France. Austria. Rus sia, Prussia and Sweden May 8. 3 So 2. provid ing that. In default of male Issue of Fred crick In the direct line. Christian should suc ceed him. It had been expected that this arrange ment would end the long-pending con troversy about the succession to the Duchies of Schleswlg and Holsteln. which, was com plicated by race animosity between their mixed population of Germans and Danes. But when Christian -became King on the death of Frederick in the Autumn of 1S63. the Duke of Augustenburg, Ills rival for the Duchies, entered Schleswlg and claimed the kingdom as Frederick VIIL. He was backed by Prussia. Austria and other German states, and Christian's forces were hopelessly beaten by the allies In 18G1 and his kingdom over run. He was allowed to retain the rest of Denmark on surrendering the disputed prov inces, as well as Launenburg. to the allies. Austria demanded that North Schleswlg and Alsen be restored to Denmark it a plebiscite so decided, but Prussia refused and crushed Austria In tho elx-wccksT war of I860. For years Denmark nourished resentment against Britain and France for encouraging her to fight and then abandoning her to the allies, but this feeling has died down with the lapse of years. Hatred of Germany Is still harbored. FATHER OF KINGS AND QUEENS King's Death Will Change Plnns of British Royalty. LONDON. Jan. 29.

King Edward had arranged to come to London, January 30. and Queen Alexandra was to leave Sandringham ut the fame time. It is not yet known what changes in their plans have been decided upon That the condition of King Christian had been 'the cause of uneasiness for some lime is shown by the fact that he had arranged on the advice, of his medical ad visers to spend the early Spring In the South of Europe, stopping several weeks at Abbanln,. to which place it had been decided that he should be accompanied by the Dowager Empress of Russia and Prince Hans of Glucksburg. and that he should be Joined there by Queen Alexan dra and the Duke and Duchess of Cum berland.
