LONDON, Feb. 3. In all the homage paid
to King EdwRrd, Queen Alexandra Is little
heard of. "I'roclaruntlon by the king," In
big blnck type, parndes Itself curi
ously and the young blood nf Eng
land Is Insensibly fired by the Idea
that a manly, nlmost martial ruler once
more controls their destinies. There exists
something of that feeling with which the
London apprentices hailed the uccesslon of
the last Edward, so there Is little wander
that Queen Alexandra, for the present,
comes In for but a small part of this
virile enthusiasm.
A diplomat thoroughly conversant with
court details Informed n representative of
the Associated frees that her majesty as
sumos her Increased responsibilities with n
feeling almost akin to regret. "I am grow
ing so old," she said the other dny, "that I
nlmost feel unnblo to face the arduous
duties beforo me."
The queen's appearance belles her words,
It Is her growing deafness which Is likely
to prove her greatest .handicap. Before
long. It Is feared, she will have to use an
ear trumpet. In other ways, she Is not
so strong ns formerly. The rumor that
King Edward Is suffering from cancer
(promptly denied by Sir Felix Seraon,
physician for diseases of the throat to the
Nntlonnl Hospital for Epilepsy and Paraly
sis, through the Associated Press), probably
arose from the fact that Sir Felix Semon
Is attending Queen Alexandra for soro

extremely susceptible, though there aro no

finish her duys In England as princess of
Wales, the greater freedom and simplicity
of the minor title being mucl preferable

Speculation is rife us to the date of King
Edward's coronntlon. some people maintain
ing that It will occur as early as Septem
ber. But probably the year of court
mourning wll', be strictly observed, the
coronation not occurring until February ur
later. In 190:1.
The curious fact of the king's birthday
coinciding with lord mayor's day. Novem

of one or the other of these celebration
In the Immediate future.
King Edward's time Is busily taken up.
The most Important event, of course. Is
the opening of Parliament (February 11)
which, next to the coronation Is likely to
he the most brilliant spectacle of his reign.
Peeresses nnd others are clamoring for
places In the House of Lords, whose seat
ing capacity Is so limited that only a few
can hope to be successful. Whenever the
king has previously appeared In the upper
house It was ns an attentive auditor of
the debates, sitting on the ordinary benches.
The only tlrao he voted was in favor of
legalizing the marriage of a deceased wife's
sister, which he has consistently, but fu
tllely. supported.
Among the other functions which arc
shortly to be performed by the king Is the
reception of n loyal address from the cor
porations of the three capitals of the I'nlted
Kingdom, which will be presented at Buck
Ingham palace,
Every prison In the I'nlted Kingdom Is
In n state of keen expectation, for the In
mates hope the King will signalize bis ac
cession by Issuing some pardons. The
frlnds of Mrs. Florence Maybrlck are tak

Ily giving up the duchy of Cornwall to
his son King Edward sacrificed an Income
of over 1,000 a week, though he now re
ceives what is estimated to bo about 1,000
a day.
Queen Victoria has not been dead a fort

fierce were the brutes. I'ascalon's defense

the dogs, which tear his clothes from him,

LONDON, Feb, 9. (New York World Ca
blcgram Special Telegram.) The move
ments of King Edward are keeping London
In a constant flutter of excitement. Ills
majesty's activity Is amazing nnd tries the
endurance of his suite to the utmost. Ho
clearly Intends to keep himself In evidence.
The dnys of royal seclusion are rast. The
court) Instead of being something re
mote nnd shadowy, whoso existence Is
Bhown only at long intervals, Is to be trans
formed by Edward VII Into a living, ener
gizing fort, in English life. And this de
termination Is making the king more popu
lar than ever. It means millions for Lon
don. The grand state pageant with which tho
king will open the first Parliament of his
reign wilt be the first of Its kind In fifteen
years. Tho last was when Queen Victoria
who had not opened Parliament In person
since Disraeli's premiership, volunteered to
Inaugurate the unionist Parliament follow
ing Gladstone's homo rule defeat.
Court appointments under Queen Victoria
were absolute sinecures, but King Edward
Ik making things hum at such a rate that
nil the old fossil officials who have been
slumbering away their lives In postofflces
will be forced to resign.
Quern Prefer Seclusion.
The king finds In Queen Alexandra the
greatest obstacle to carrying out his policy
of royal activity. The queen Is as devoted
to seclusion as was the late queen, nnd has
lived In the most complete retirement since
tht ilpnth of Duke Clarence. She dis
likes general society and court functions

nounced, but the king Insisted that she
should come to London with him when they
made their first public appearance together.
The queen Is still holding out against ap
pcarlng In the s.tato pageant at the opening
of Parliament next Thursday and It Is al
ready given out that sho has a slight cold.
Tho duchess of Cornwall has been com
manded to attend In any event nnd she Is
ready to tnko the queen's part, but the king
will not have It.
The king wants to hold a half-mourning
drawlngroora In March, but tho queen be
lieves that there should bo no drawingroom
until tho mourning season Ib over. She Is
a quietly persistent woman, with all her
amiable aspect, and whatever King Ed
ward's court may lack In point of pageantry
and gaiety may be attributed to her hatred
of display.
I'rlnem Ilentrlcr (inei to Frnnce,
Princess Beatrice has accepted an Invita
tion to go abroad and stay with the Empress
Eugenie at Cape Martin, the fashionable
watering place In the south of France, for
some weeks.
Beatrice haB always been a close friend
of the widowed and exiled empress, to
whoso son, the prince Imperial, she was to
have been married had he not been killed
In the Zulu war. The prince's participation
In that campaign was Intended to pave the
way for the formal announcement of the be
trothal. Tho young couple were deeply in
love with each other.
Eugenie Inherited 3.000.000 from the
emperor. Two-thirds of It will go to Prince
Victor as the present head of the Bonaparte
family, but the bulk of the remainder, to
gether with her priceless Jewels, It Is un
derstood, will bo left to Beatrice.
Eugenia Is In rapidly falling health and
Queen Victoria's death was a grievous blow
to her. Sho Is weary of life. She said re
cently to a sympathetic Inquirer: "Ah,
don't fear for me. Alas, nothing can kill
me. since misfortunes have failed to do so."
l-'nalilon (ariinililen nt Mournlnc
In fashion's haunts there Is great grum
bling over the mourning regulations. Blark
d j not become every woman, and It needs
that Indescribable gift of style to wear It
with distinction. Moreover. It Is expensive.
But tbo most fatal objection of nil Is Its
tendency to accentuate the wearer's years.
Already smart ladles are inclining townrd
half mourning, where tho sombre black Is
relieved by white, while others have blos
somed out In charming purple costumes.
Victoria, It Is asserted, detested ordinary
mourning. The fortnight's cessation of fes
tivities is now being compensated for by a
tremendous rush Into restaurants and the
aters, where all manner of Inrenlous modi
fications In mourning regulations aro ob
servable In the women's costumes.

that the duke of Marlborough would have
the first refusal against all comers.

JTTj
latlons and their surmised niodlficuilowif
owing to Emperor William's visit to Eng
lund. Just now form the alt-absorbing topic.
SInco his majesty's return all Germany has
bten engaged In the discussion. The decor
ating of Earl Roberts with the Order of
the Blnck Eagle and Emperor William's
reply to King Edward's speech, lu which
the emperor said ho was honored In wear
ing n British uniform and tho empuror s
army would likewise feel It an honor, have
especially aroused keen criticism, v hlch U
privately expressed much more freely tiiaj
In print. In high oITlclal circles the decor
ating of Lord Roberts, which the ductals
do not confirm, is regarded as being merely
of personal ulgnlficanco and ns expressing
tho emperor's appreciation of Lord Rob
erts as n man and -n soldier. It Is not
looked upon us a political act nnd leaves
Anglo-German relations precisely whero
they wero beforo the Incident. Neverthe
less, It Is admitted that tbc act expresses
the emperor's wish to end tho bitterness
In tho relations of the two countries, which
does not benefit Germany or Great Britain.
The Kreuz Zeltung's comment yesterday
evening Is today making the rounds of the
German press. Many conservative nnd
agrarian papers merely reproduce It with
out comment.
"iiil lloer Uetrorr."
Tho Kreuz Zeitung said: "We fall to
see why this Boer destroyer (Roberts)
should receive such a unique mark ot Em
peror William's distinction, and also why
the emperor, after being horribly Insulted
five years ago by the officers of his British
regiment, should now show them marked
attention."

with the vast majority of the nntlon.
Whatever comment Is made, however, Is
In cautious terms. Tho Berliner Neucste
Nachrlchter (conservative) today reprints
the Kreuz Zcltuug's remarks, saying there
Is a "difference between the emperor's
personal acts and words In England and
German policy."
Iiii'iipiicltnti-il liy It War,
Regarding the latter tho paper says:
"England Is Incapacitated from alliances of
any sort because It has been tremeudously
weakened by the South African war. As a
military power, it is not worthy ot seri
ous attention. England, therefore, will not
pursue nn aggressive policy under nny cir
cumstance. An entente between England

can bo blocked by English vessels. There
fore, on the whole. It Is wisest for Germany
to leave tho door open for nn Anglo-German
understanding nnd. In tbo meanwhile,
live In peace with England.
"Emperor William's personal acts In Eng
land wero due to nls praiseworthy, sym
pathetic Impulses, which are devoid of po
litical significance, but the emperor must
not bo astonished If the Iceltngs on the sub
ject moving the German people find a re
spectful expression."
Tho Nntlonal Zeitung (national liberal)
calls tho Kreuz Zettung article an amaz
ing utteranco and claims to doubt the re
port of the decoration of Lord Roberts with
the Order ot tbo Black Eagle.
The Vorwaerts, the leading socialist or
gan, ridicules Count von Buelow. whoso
policy, the paper maintains, was thwarted
by tho emperor, and professes to believe
Count von Buelow has gone to Hamburg to
offor his resignation, reminding Von Bue
low that he recently announced In tho
Reichstag that he would pursue his own
policy. Tbo Vorwaerts ridicules thn con
servative press, which, It says, is torn by
conflicting emotions.
Iriteil to lie Frlrmll,-,
The Berliner Tngeblatt. Independent lib
eral. prints special London correspondence
In which the writer says tho German people
would do well to bury their animosity to
Great Britain when the British people ex
tend the hand of friendship, adding that
Great Britain, doubtless, will be ready to
pursuo a friendly course, adopt a Oerman
ophllo policy and support the drelbund on
occasion, unless the German people are In
sulting In their animosity. Tho writer con
tinues: "The German people seem about to reject
tho friendship of the great nation which
formerly Germany wooed."
Tho Taegllche Rundschau, conservative
and military agrarian, says tho emperor la
estranged from the nation by his behavior
in Englnnd and declares a too close rap
prochement with Great Britain Is opposed
to Gorman Interests.
During a debate In tho agricultural coun
cil Von Wngcnhelm, president of tho Hus
bandry Boclety, said Increased cereal duties
wero by no means all that German agrl
culturo needed. After obtaining sufficient
duties It w-as necessary to obtain control
of the grain market and bourse, to tlx prices
and reduce the go-between trade to the
most necessary limits.

The Prousslscho Jabrbuecbner, a leading
conservative political review, has published
articles, signed HJalmar Schacht, on the
subjert of German-Amerlcnn future trade
relations, in which the writer claims It wll!
be uocessary to make ready for a tariff war
with the United States, adding that if the
United States saw Germany ready and In
earnest she would bo forced to grant Ger
many better terms, while a mere protest
would bo laughed at In Washington.

Is It believed that any committee will bo
authorized to accept amendments to the
constitution which President McKInley and
his cublnot may suggest. In fact, the
Cubans would prefer to havo the present
military regime continue for years longer
rather than surrender their hope of
eventual absolute Independence.
Yet tho constitution may possibly pro
vide that tho Cuban executives, by and
with the udvlce nnd consent of the senate,
may make treaties of reciprocal alliance,
political and commercial, offensive and de
fensive, with the United States and such
other Amcrlcau governments ns the inter
est and safety of the Island may require.
The partisans of General Mavlruo Gomez
probably will bo defeated on the final vole
upon qualifications for tho president,
owing to tho growing feeling against per
mitting nny but native citizens to hold
office.
