. LONDON, May 9. All England Is In
mourning- over the death of King Ed
ward VII, municipalities, churches and
societies of all sorts have met to pass
eulogies on the late monarch and of
fer good wishes to his successor. Tn
courts and business houses have been
closed; sports and entertainments ot
every type have been . dropped; so
ciety has cancelled its engagements.
The whole kingdom. Indeed, Is a
nation In mourning. Ireland has for
gotten her political grievances against 1
her sister isle. The Irish paper
speak kindly, appreciatively, of King
Edward VII.
f - -. . .
Dying 'it Sudden.
King Edward died almost before his
subjects bad begun to realize tnai ne
was seriously 111. He was taken sick
week ago. After three days a seri
ous complication began to develop.
The fourth day his phy3lclans issued S
bulletin that stirred the whole nation
to Its depths. On the sixth day the
King was dead.
The shock to Great Britain and to
the world had been tremendous, not
in a national way, for the death ot
the King has been discounted in the
markets for many years, but to the
Empire' sentimentality. King Ed
ward was sincerely loved throughout
the length and breadth of England's
possessions.
The King died from pneumonia at
11:45 the night of May 6, at Bucking
bam Palace, . and at the same mo
ment the crown and scepter of the
Emplr of Great Britain passed auto
matically to his son and heir. Prince
George of Wales, now George V.
Nearly all members of the King's
immediate family were- at his beds'de
when the King died. Just before the
end came, the royal patient rallies
and spoke weakly to those about him.
"I know it is all over," he said, "but
I think I've done my duty." '
Royalty Coming to Funeral.
More royal personages are expected
to come to England for the funeral
than followed Victoria's hearse.- The
German Emperor is certain to attend,
both because he is head of a neighbor
ing state and a near relative.
The Kings of Belgium, Spain and
Portugal, and possibly . King Victor
Emmanuel of Italy, also, will be pres.
ent All the crowned heads of the
world, as well as the Pone and the
Presidents of the United States,
France and other republics, have tele
graphed condolences to the Dowager
Queen and King George V.
Her Majestry, Queen Elizabeth, of
Roumania, will visit Washington, D.
C, next August to attend the inter
national congress of the Esperantists
and efforts' are now being made by
local Esperantists, backed up by the
Harrlman railroads, to get the Queen
to visit Oregon,

BALLINGER SAYS HE
i WiLL SWING THE AX
Subordinates Must Give Loyal
f Support if Secretary Stays
in Department.
George Frederick, who will be King
of England, under the title of George
V, Is the second son of the late King
Edward, his elder brother, Albert Vic
tor, Duke of Clarence, having died In
1892. He was1 married In 1893 to
Princess Mary of Teck, and I th
father of six children.
1 WASHINGTON. D. C After hir
ing been dramatically Interrupted b
Spectal Agent H. T. Jones, the Inf.
mate friend of L. R. Glavis, who Ind
rectly questioned a statement made ti
the witness, Secretary Ballinger a
the afternoon session served notlo
that if be continues as the head o
the Interior Department there was go
ing to be some more "snake killing,
and that It will be kept up until th
last snake was dead.
. "If I am to continue to conduct the
affairs of the department," said the
Secretary, "it will be with the loyal
support of every man in the department"
The witness declared emphatically
that when he appeared before the
House committee on public lands on
March 3, 1908, to advocate the. Cale
bill for the development of Alaskan
qoal lands, which bill he himself had
rafted, he did not have the Cunning
am claims in mind.
. In connection with a question as to
Glavis' course in one phase of his
work, Ballinger digressed to denounce
his former field agent
'It was not the proper course tor
him to go over the heads of his su
periors to further an attempt to ruin
me," he declared. "He should have
gone to Schwartz, whom, he says, he
trusted, instead of Joining a conspir
acy to ruin me before the country.
That show the distlngenuousness of
the man."
Attorney Brandeis will not conclude
his cross-examination of Ballinger for
a week.

WASHINGTON, C., ITEMS
WASHINGTON, D. C Forty-five
Senators, all from the conservative
or "regular"- wing of the membership
are said to have Joined in the move
ment to formulate a new Administra
tion legislative program.
As utterly Impossible for the con
servatives to reach, the regulars have
classed Beverldge, Bristow, Clapp
Cummins, Dolliver and La Follette. "
The men on whom the regular Re
publican are still working, and who
will receive the attention of President
Taft Include Bourne, Dixon, Gamble.
and Nelson. All of these men have
voted with the Insurgent from time
to time. They have refused, however,
to be called insurgents, and have been
found in the ranks of the regulars 'at
least half of the time.
Insurgent Senators say they will
not be swerved from their course on
the railroad bill, no matter what tac
tics are pursued by the conservative
Republicans. This announcement was
made at the conclusion of an insur
gent conference by Senator Cummins
of Iowa.
The House rejected the Washburn
amendment to tne railroad bill, pro
Tiding that section. 12, prohibiting
acquisition of competing lines, "shall
not affect any leases of railroad prop
erty made prior to January 1, 1910,
for a period of 20 years." The Adam
son amendment to the same section,
exempting any railroads entirely with
in one state, was defeated, 121 to 144.
Tbe House then struck out the entire
section iz oi tne railroad bill, pro
hibltlng the acquisition of the stock
of competing lines. The vote was
131 to 128.
The prospects for a postal savings
bank bill ot some sort are Improving.
For four days th Hoso committee on
postofflces and post roads had the bill
under Informal discussion, and it is
aid that from the great variety and
volume of view expressed, there is
beginning to appear a possible ground
for agreement Juat what this bas-.s
may be it Is not yet easy to predict
