GREAT BRITAIN,
The Dying Prince All Hopes of his Re-
coyery Abandoned

LONDON, Dec. II. In accordance with
the request of the Archbishop of Canter-
bury, prayers forthe recovery of the heirap
parent were introduced in the service in all
Anglican churches yesterday. In the Ro-
man Catholic churches, Jewish synagogues
and dissenting chapels special prayers
were offered. The feeling of grief upon
the present, and uneasiness for the future,
is profound andlwide spread. Business is
wholly suspended throughout the coun-
try. Telegraph lines arc blocked with a
multitude Of messages sent to and fro con-
corning the Prince, and the greatest anN-
iety is manifested to obtain the latest
news.
LONDON, Dec II, 5 P. NJ. An unoffi-
cial telegram dated Sandringham, l P.
NJ, saws that it is evident from the dis
tress which prevails there that the last
hours of the Prince of Wales are approach
ing. The whole household has been
thrown into the deepest gloom by the
words of special messenger who left
the sick chamber shortly after noon with
dispatches from London. He declared
unreservedly to the bystanders as he pass
ed out of the house, that he did not ex-
pect to find the Prince living when he re-
turned. The despatch adds that the ex
pressions dropped by members of the roy
al family and others IN close attendance
on the Prince, fully confirm the statement
of the despatch bearer and it is evident
that all hope is abandoned.

and its possible fatal result Several
scribing the manner in which the news
was received in the Provinces. 1t also

interval he had was on the birthday of his
wife, Dec. / when he exclaimed in
natural tone of voice, This is the Prin-
cess birthday" On another occasion,
