His illness, in its final stages, progressed with ter- rifying rapidity. It was only at hall-past three-this afternoon that he was prevailed upon to allow himself to be laid in bed. Since morning he hadbbeen reclining in an invalid chair. At 3.30 he had a violent attack of coughing, which so exhausted him that he held out no longer against the wishes of his physicians. He still retained full consciousness, and about five o’clock asked for news about his horse “Witch of the Air,” which was running at Kcmpton Park this afternoon. He was told it had won. Not» long afterwards it became ' apparent that he was rapidly growing worse. ‘All five physicians who had been called into consul~ tation were in attendance, and 'soon afiter their public announce- ment that {his condition was criti- cal the Royal patient began to show signs of the approaching dissolu- '~ 'tion. He sank rapidly, and at 11.- 45 jmsred'away. THE NEW KING. In the eyes of the British Con- stitution the King never dies. The death of one Monarch, technically termed the demise of the Crown, is automatically followed by the accession of his successor. Thus when King Edward breathed his last, in the presence of his family, among whom was of course his eld- est son, the Prince of Wales, the British Empire came into posses- sion of a new King. ’ The Prince and Princess ’of Wales drove to the Palace from Marlborough House at half-past M... maxi tell, and remained 1“ the 1'00”! DCX‘D streets slunvcd such a change that to that in which the King lay. Here “the Queen and Princess Victoria scenes of life, bustle and gaiety 1.3. also spent the day. The King was very glad to be able to command once more the services of the nurse who cared, for -him during his recovery from the operation in 1901, and several times sent out word to his family that he was as comfortable as he could expect. to be. THE QUEEN’S DEVOTION. The Queen has watched over his Majesty with the utmost devotion over since returning on Thursday night. She had heard of the King’s illness on the way to Calais, and hastened her arrival in England as i “10 Present? illness. When the bulJmS actors even. Every class was rep- resented in the line which advanc- ed slowly tothe door, and then drove away with saddened faces, “coking out upon the people gath- ered round the gates. When the Lord Chamberlain, Lord Althrop, left the palace smiling it was taken as a hopeful sign, and when it was rumored that both Sir Francis Lak- ingand Sir James Reid had gone out for a ride their spirits went up still further. The long delay be- tween bulletins was taken to mean that at all events his Majesty was no worse. ' DESERTED STREETS. While the sun shone more brilliâ€" antly than it had done any day this year, the people seemed to ex- tract the utmost particle of hope which the medical bullet-ins conâ€" veyed, but when evening came, cold and dismal, with rain drizzlng from the heavy skies, the crowds lcrt heart, and soon after the issue of the later reports announcing that his Majesty’s condition was most grave, and that the hoped for improvement had not set in, the streets were practically empty. Peâ€" destrians were rare. Cubs and taxis passed by at intervals instead of in ceaseless file, and motor bus- ses rumbled past empty or nearly empty of passengers. FEW IN THE THEATRES. t was‘curious to see how, out- side one theatre, where a popular success Was running, the crowd which had formed alongside the pit and gallery doors melted away be- fore the door were opened. It was evident that these people, to whom a visit to a theatre was such a m. treat that they would stand for hours waiting to secure a seat, had no stomach for 'musical comedy while their King lay at death’s ’door. All the West End theatres .were practically empty this even- ’ing.
