¡ OUR LONDON LETTER. I j \From Our Special Correspondent.] j A vote to determine who is the best-loved woman in the Empire would have resulted, at any time during the past forty years, in a great majority for Queen Alexandra, whose sorrow has called forth world-wide sym- pathy. The Queen-Mother, it is announced, will go into retirement after the funeral, at Sandrivigham, which was made over to her I Majesty as a dower-house by King Edward some years ago. Queen Alexandra has a great love for the Norfolk home where she j has spent so many happy years, and the I tenantry and the' villagers simply worship C' 1. her. It is not expected, however, that her retirement will be a very lengthy one. She wil) find solace in good works, and will con- tinue to act her noble role as a Queen of charity. Not for many years has the title of Queen- Mother, by which Queen Alexandra will now be known, been borne bv the widow of an English King. William the Fourth's consort became Queen-Dowager, and the wives of all four Georges pre-deceased their husbands. There has therefore been no Queen-Mother since Stuart times. Henrietta Maria, widow of the First Charles, and mother of the Second, was the last Queen-Mother. For a previous instance we must go back to Queen Elizabeth Woodville, widow of Edward the Fourth, and mother of the infant King who was murdered, with his brother, in the Tower. The shops are doing an enorrrrous business in mourning, but, in spite of that fact, trade wiil suffer greatly in consequence of the Kind's death. Much of the stock previously purchased will now be wasted, as there will be nobody purchasing spring and summer finery this year; and one mourning outfit will not make up to the drapers and the dressmakers for the loss of orders for half a. dozen pretty hats and frocks. And they are sot the only people who will suffer from the disaster which has overtaken the London season. Many functions, which would have meant the spending of a lot of money, have been abandoned altogether, while others are postponed. There will, of course, be little or no entertaining during the period of mourn- ing, and the great army of people who look to the London season as to a time of harvest will Buffer serious loss, and, in some cases, hardship. The total loss to trade in various ways will amount to a very big figure indeed. i The great Japan-British Exhibition has been opened, and the White City is once again ready to receive its multitude of visitors from every land. Owing to the shadow of national mourning under which it took place, the opening ceremony was, of course, deprived of the brilliance which would other- wise have characterised it, but there was a very large attendance of the public, and it may be takem for granted that the White City will be a very popular place of resort during the next few months. The Exhibition i/s certainly one of the most interesting and attractive ever seen in London. It is excep- tionally strong on both the educational and the amusement side. No exhibition is ever really complete on the opening day, and those who visit it during the early weeks of the season will find a good deal to interest them in watching the clever Japanese work- men putting in the finishing touches. No doubt, as always, the amusement side will be very popular, and here there are maniy things novel to Western ideas. There will be Japanese theatres, Japanese wrestlers, Japanese tea-houses, and Japa11e.se music and dancing. Not the least interesting of the novelties will be the, real geisha, girls, not the stage ones. When one crowned head visits this country it is mi anxious time for the secret service j meu at Scotland Yard, for day and night they must be ever on the watch. But when j seven kings are to be guarded in addition to royalty from here, there, and everywhere it would be small wonder if Scotland Yard were oppressed with the heavy burden of ite re- sponsibility The work has to be done quietly, swiftly, and certainly. No point must be left unattended by the special staff of men, all of whom are acquainted with the mysterious and dark underworld of London —the haunts of anarchists where deadly plots originate. See that small, insignificant-look- ing man moving here and there among the crowd? He is 80 little like the accepted idea of the detective that no one suspects his iden- tity. He is, nevertheless, the head of that force which guards our visitors. All the Anarchists in Lmadon are known to him. Full descriptions of them arc catalogued in the ledgers at the "Yard"—they are marked JIV\II. in fact. There are some women, too, on whom a watchful eye is kept. So perfect are the arrwigemente, however. and so con- stant the guard, that there is little fear of the deadly plots getting any further than the plot stage. Those people who had anticipated seeing the wonderful "Chantecler in London this season are doomed to disappointment. It had been arranged for Rostand's remarkable farmyard drama to be given at Drury Lane, and the preliminaries were well advanced for a start to be made in June. The French pro- moters of the enterprise, however, came to the conclusion that its success would be en- dangered by the mourning for King Edward, which will certainly affect all new dramatic productions im London this year. As the ex- penses of putting on "Chantecler" must be exceedingly heavy, they hava decided that the risk is too great to be run. In the cir- cumstances Mr. Arthur Collins, though greatly disappointed, has not offered any opposition, and the agreement has been can- celled by mutual consent. It is possible that London may see this poem in* poultry next Yftr, bat it is not very likely. It seems to be generally accepted that there will not now be a General Blec-tiiin this year. The death of the Sovereign ha.0 changed the outlook considerably, amdi already political work in the constituencies! is suspended. As nothing was further than a General Election from the wishes of indi- vidual members of all parties in the House, so ite postponement to a more distant day is a relief. The delay before the battle will allow them to make fuller preparations; and to repair to some extent the inroads which the last election made in the party fuiitis. A General Election just now is quite nD- thinkable. The monarchical issue would cer- tainly be brought in, and that, at, such a time as this, with a new Monarch on the Throne, is something to be avoided. A good deal has been heard of a trace between the parties, and the cessation of the conflict between Lords and Commons nntil Bed session. Definite information on this point will no doubt be forthcoming shortly. A. E. M.

LYING IN STATE. THE KING'S BODY REMOVED. In the presence of the King, the Queen, the Queen-Mother, Princess Victoria, the Duke of Con naught, the Empress Marie of Russia, and the King of Denmark, tJae body of the late. King was, on Saturday evening, moved from the death chamber to the Throne Room. It had been arranged to move the body two days before, but in deference to Queen Alexandra's wishes, who in her intense grief desireci that the body should remain as long as possible in the room in which death took place, the removal was delayed until Saturday evening. A party of some forty of the 1st Grenadier Guards, who were to act as the bearer party, and the men of the King's Company, forming the "watch," marched to the palace. Presently, in sight of a huge crowd, the members of the bearer party, all bare-headed, marched in quick time to the entrance to the quadrangle, and then, breaking into slow time. crossed the enclosure almost noiselessly and passed into the palace and up to the death chamber. Here all was in readiness, and the bearers were formed into parties, dividing between them the honour and duty of carrying the burdem to the Throne Room. Those not actually engnged in the carry- ing at the outset walked in the rear with bowed heads, awaiting the signal to relieve their comrades, who in turn took rip their position in the rear. There was no further religious service, and the removal was carried out with the utmost privacy in the presence of the stricken Queen-Mother and the meftibers of the, Royal family. The corridors and apartments were cleared in advance of all not actually eoTi- cerned in the removal ceremony, and were kept clear. On reaching the Throne Room the soldiers reverently placed the coffin upon a purple draped catafalque in front of an altar., which had been erected ini thesp usually occu- pied by the Throne Chair. tJpori this altay were candles and choice white flowers. A magnificent pall covered the King's coffin, a,nd upon this was placed the insignia of the dead Monarch, and after the Royal relatives had bowed in prayer and withdrawn from the chamber all was ready for the lyiixg-in- state till the removal to Westminster Hall. Meantime the men forming the watch marched smartly from the guard room to the gateway leading to the quadrangle with rifles at the slope. On passing within the gateway they changed to slow steps, and re- versed arms, carrying their rifles as thong-h I el taking part in a funeral procession. When the watch had crossed to that entrance to the Palace nearest the Throne Room the officer in command told off five of their Tíunlher- four men and a corporal-to proceed to the apartment where the King's remains re- posed. A man was posted at each corner of the catafalque, where they, with the cor- poral, standing at one side of the bier. were ordered to "rest on arms reversed." For this purpose the muzzle of the rifle is placed downwards, and the soldier crosses his hands on the butt and stands; with bowed head remaining almost statue-like in this position till silently relieved. With chaogeB at stated periods, the vigil thus commenced was continued throughout the entire period of the private lying-in-state.

FALLING CHIMNEY STACK. An alarming accident occurred in St. James's-street, Piccadilly, on Monday morn- ing. Some men were engaged on a partially demolished building, preparing to erect a stand to provide accommodation tor spec- tators of the King's funeral procession, wiien a chimney stack collapsed, and cra.shed on to a platform containing the office of the clerk of works. Eight men working beneath the platform were struck by debris and injured, while one was buried beneath a mass of bricks and timber. He was extricated with difficulty, and with three of the more seriously injured of his companions was removed to hospital. The erection of the stand had not been couwneneed, when the shore supporting tho chimney stack, that had been left standings from a demolished building, was accidentally displaced.

PARACHUTE ADVENTURE. Brazell Davies, a miner who for fifteen vears has worked at Llandobie collieries, made a successful parachute descent at Car- marthen on Whit-Monday last year, and re- peated the performance last evening. When at a great altitude and within the sight, of thousands oi spectators is Carm*i, then Park, he dropped from one- of Spencer Brothers' balloons, and his experience was of a thrilling character. The crowd were terri- fied because the umbrella, did not opojn for some moments. Davies stated that it seemed to tilt on one side. and h became nervoua, but it soon became taut, and he glided to the ground in safety.
