iSandringham 8 d. M-The Prince passed a
restless night There has been further recur-
renee of graver symptoms. His state continues
precarious
Noon-The Prince is in the same precarious
condition, and the symptoms are unaltered
since the last bulletin was received. The tele-
graph line to Sandringham has been closed to
the general public, because the wire was burth-
ened with messages to the Queen from charl
tans, quacks and officious persons tending
medical advice.
Loaaon Too p. MA dispatch bearer who
left Sandringham at Il. 80 p. m, told outsiders
that he did not hope to find the Prince alive
when he returned and that the members of the
Royal family and Others have given up all hopes
of his recovery.

cunningham, p. m, says that it is evident
from the distress which prevails there that the
last hours of the Prince of Wales are approach

lal messenger who left the sick chamber shortly
after noon with dispatches for London He
declared unreservedly to by-standers as he
passed out of the house that he did not expect
to hnd the FRINGE living when he returned. The
despatch adds that the expressions dropped by
members of the Royal 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.
