His . first official act was to despatch to. the Lord Mayor the announcement of his father's death, in pursuance of custom. His telegram read: "I am deeply grieved to inform you that my beloved father, the King, passed away peacefully at 11.45 to- night. The ' physicians soon afterGwaeordsrge." is, sued their official bulletin, • which was as follows:' "May 6, 11:50 natl.-His Majesty the King breathed 'his last at 11.45to- night in the 'presence of Her .Majesty Queen Alexandra, the Prince and Princess of Wales; the Princess`'Royal, the Duchess of Fife, Princess: Victoria and Princess. Louise, the Duchess of Argyll. ' (Signed) ' "Laking, Reid Powell, Dawson." Pneumonia, following bronchitis, is believed to have been the cause of death, but the doctors thus far have refused to make a statement. Some of • the Kings friends are convinced that worry over the ,critical political situation which confronted hiin with` sleepless nights,aggravated, if it did not cause the. fatal illness. . Besides the nearest . relatives in England, the Duke of Fife and the Archbishop of 'Canterbury were in the death chamber. The King's brother, the Duke of.

Almost to the end he refused to take to his bed, and was sitting up yesterday in a I: large chair, so the palace stories go„ corroborating the description of him' asan unruly patient, which Dr. Ott' gave to a Vienna interviewer last• evening. One of the last utterances attribut-' ed to King Edward was: "Well, it's all over, but I think I have done my duty." He seemed then `to have reach- ed a full realization that his end was fast. approaching. The Queen and others of the royal family and four doctors had been con stantly in the sick room throughout the day. Several. hours before his death the King was in a comatose condition, but be rallied slightly be- tween., nine and teno'clock, and ap- peared to recognize his family. Then he lapsed into unconscious- ness,' whichended in his passing. The body lies in the King's cham- ber, in the northwest wing of the Buckingham. Palace, which is bril- • liantly lighted, while the rest of the great gloomy building, with the ex- ception of Lord Knollys" office, is en- tirely darkened:. It was nearly half an hour after the King breathed his last when .Lord tnollys walked into the office and said to the .waiting reporters: "Gen- tlemen, -His Majesty is, dead."

'in Goderich Tp. asking for' amend - ,l lents to the Fruit Maiks Act. The resolution asked: that the Act: should be amended along the following final: 1. That a certain size should be definitely stated in the Act for each variety of apple, and also for each grade... 2 That the inspection of a car of apples by a legally -appointed govern. ment inspector in the firstplace should suffice, and result in the issuance of. a certificate rendering all further in- spection anywhere unnecessary, pro- vided he find apples all right and con- forming to grade m arked oa• barrel. The ' editor of The Horticulturist makes the following comment: 'It is quite possible that if the fruit men of the , country Would' take twenty-five or thirty of the principal varieties and agree upon a size that would be a, .‘medium" and "small"for be easily each variety (which • couldy done), this amendment might be an improvement. It would certainly, make the Fruit Marks Act definite where. now it is a mattter of person- al interpretation of the meaning of the. words, 'medium"nearly medium' and 'small,' 3The suggestion that one inspection should suffice is not workable . Even we're it possible to inspect all ship- ments hip- t which n eat the starting. points. me t is not, as an army ofnspectors. would be required, the issuance of • a certifi- cate guaranteeing against further in• epection would afford opportunities for tampering with the grade marks by dishonest shippers.' 'The inspection at the point of ship- ment and the issuance of a certificate' is liable to very grave abuses. It would ar ental be necessary r for the De tm e y p officers to take possession of the fruit • as soon as it was examined and retain possession until it could be delivered.
