THE WAIKATO ARGUS. GEORGE EDGECUMBE. Proprietor. MONDAY, JANUARY 28, 1901.

I* . ! ggOwiXG to the inopportune defect ir. PLhe cables there has been some diffi- z f pculty in making fitting firrangement| tijfor proclaiming the accession of | .iHEdward VJI to the throne. The J feiluty of making this prcclama-j ration devolves upon the Mayors o^s Stowns and the chairmen of the \ S l|Local Bodies. The telegrams fixing | ' 1 2.H0 p.m to-day as the hour fit | 'Hwhich this ceremony should take 5 Ifplace, only reached the Mayors and \ ggUhairmen this morning, in tact it k* 5 •Kdoubtful whether in many cases llieS 'rathe intimation will reach the Chair-1 linan till after the hour appointed. | ggThis will be a disappointment to | ||inany of Mis Majesty's subjects \vho| ||would have liked to be present on | y this historic: occasion to'show respect | mhr their now King, and satisfaction | ||at his accession to the throne. | -P The Empire has every reason to| ||t'ejoice that an experienced and | gpopular Prince has succeeded to the, Ethrone of Victoria. That he will g pfill the pejsition with credit to him- p .gsjself and advantage to the Empire is | 'pjthe prayer of many millions oft; Ifpeople, and there is every reason to | that this prayer will be | Kgranted. With all sincerty wo hail | -pLhe new King and wish that his | may be a long and prosperous jj Pone. " Ood Save the King." I
