ROME, April 29. King Edward visited

going direct from the. British embassy in a

The carriage bearing the- kins; was followed
by another containing members of bis maj

He bad no escort, except some policemen
In plain cloths, and no troops ' lined the
street.
It was also remarked that, contrary to
the usual etiquette King Edward did .not
lunch at the British embassy,, but at the
qutrlnal, and after a brief stop at Jbe em
bassy drove to the Vatican.
Pomp and State Snrrnnntl Pope. -The
Vatican Is perhaps the roost cere
monious court of Europe. It Is undoubtedly
one' of the moBt picturesque, and all cos
tumes worn are of medieval times. As
King Edwsrd's carriage entered " the court
of San Damazzo, which has been trodden by
the feet of every sovereign " who visited
Rome with the exception Of the present
shah of Persia, his majesty was saluted by
a battalion of the Palatine guards In full
uniform, a'tafoo was beaten, but there
being no papal band no further musical
honors were attempted. It la - declared
that since the grotesque rendering of the
German royal anthem by bugles On the oc
caston of the vtalt of the emperor of Ger
many, the experiment of having music has
not Been repeated.
When the royal party reached the grand
staircase leading to the papal apartments
King Edward was greeted by the Marquis
Bacehettt, who acted ior Prlnca Ruspoll,
the Introducer of Boerlgns,i who is ill; Mgr.
Merrydelval and Prince Antocl-Mattel. At
the- UDDer landing there rw as grouped In

clesiastics, who formed a characteristic-and
magnificent assembly,. Behind this group',
attired in brilliant uniforms, were the
knights of the cape and chamberlains in
black velvet breeches,-blouses with .atlff
white ruffe and gorgeously Jeweled chains
about their necks,' giving 'a touch of brll
Uant color.
All is Silent In Vatican.
King Edward addressed a few words of
thanks in return for the hearty greetings
offered him, and then proceeded between
ranks of Swiss guards, whose . halberds
gleamed In the sunlight, while the hum of
the busy city alone broke (the deep silence
reigning within the Vatican.
At Clementine hall the party was met by
the papal master of the chamber. Mgr. B!a
letl, who was attended by personages of
the secret antechamber. Upon arriving be
fore the private apartment of the pope the
noble guard . rendered military honors to
the sovereign. At the conclusion .of this
ceremony the door opened and the aged

MOTHER OF COUNTESS TALKS
Mrs. Thaw Makes Soma Explanation
Concerning . Her Daugh. . r
ter's Wedding.
PITTSBURG. Pa., April 29. Tha follow
ing communication to the Associated Press
by Mrs. William. Thaw, mother- of -the
countess of Yarmouth, explains itself:.
There; is one line of romance to call It by
no harsher term largely indulged in ty
newspapers, which the Associated Press Is
asked to correct. The particular Instance
now referred to Is that of the "settlement"
in connection with the marriage of the earl
of Yarmouth. . Briefly, the facts are these
(each la put Into a separate paragrapn in
order to be more clearly understood):
Miss Thaw, now the countess of Yar
mouth, st the death of her father, was left
(aa wore each of his five children by his
second marriage) with an Independent for
tune of nearly 1500,000. Half of thla amount
waa immediately put Into trust for each
child, the Income only to be available dur
ing their lifetime. Part of the remaining
half of the fortune of each of the children
consists of one-tenth share each In the
'William Thaw Coke trust," which la tied
up absolutely and irrevocably, save -as to
income.
Whst is known as the "free estate" of
Miss Thaw, amounting to about one-half of
the whole estate, has been by consent of
herself and Lord Yarmouth, formed Into- a
third trust, to be managed by tbe Fidelity
and Trust company of l'lttsbura. together
with one individual trustee. .
Tha Income from ail three trusts will be
Mid to the countess of Yarmouth (nothin
like what at various timws haa been stated)
whlcn sne, witnout suggestion irom i lie
other side, allotted to toe eaxl hlmaelf.
In the case or ner oeatn it Is arranged
that the income from about one-fifth of her
total estate will be paid over to. or In
vested for the benefit of, the title and es
state of Hertford, to which, shou.'d he out
live his latner, tne eari win succeed.
"These," the communication continues,
"are the plain, unvarnished facts glvsn
through the Associated Press by Mrs. Thaw
herself. At no time Das tbere been any
hitch, whatever, because of financial ques
tions, neither has there been any demand
by the earl or his family, the whole bslng
arranged by Mrs, Thaw and her immediate
family, aa a proper recognition of the posi
tion the earl and his countess will occupy."
. Mrs. Thaw adds the following comment:
' The whole discussion by the newspspers
haa been simply a feeling about In the dark.
Not one item of Information has been given
out - heretofore by anyone. The freedom
With which ciphers are thrown about by
printers is typical or ins age.
