London (8pecial).—King Edward

a vacation of 10 days ago in the
best of health, died at 11.45 o'clock
Friday night in the presence of his

more than three days.
The Prince of Wales succeeded to
the crown immediately, according to
the laws of the kingdom, without of-

was to dispatch to the Lord Mayor

death, in pursuance of custom. His
telegram read:
am deeply grieved to inform you
my beloved father, the King,
