NEW York, Dec. 12.--At 10 o'clock this
morning, London time, the Prince
was still living. 1t appears from the Lon
don Times that the Prince contracted his
illness at Lord Londesborough's house,
near Scarborough, Yorkshire. Several
guests who visited the house at the
time were attacked by fever, among them
the Earl of Chesterfield, since dead.
Another English journal, speaking Of the
Princes disease, says there seems to be a
liability to this kind of attack in the present
branch of the royal family. The Duke of
Kent, Queen Victoria's father, died from
cold fever, said to have been produced by
sitting in damp boots after returning from
shooting. Prince Albert, the Queens hus-
band, died from consequence of neglected
cold. The present illness of the Prince is
said to have been produced by chill fol-
lowing excessive heat and exertion in sport
ing.
LONDON, Dec. II, 5 P. M.-The official
bulletins to-day are as follows:
Sandringtdm, Dec. II, s q. m.-The
Prince had very restless night. His de-
lirium was constant. No signs OF improve
ment.

the morning. His condition is unaltered.
Hopes of Recovery.
LONDON, . P. n, Dec. 12.--There are
rIImors that incidents have occurred at San
dringham which indicate more favorable
condition of affairs. Nothing definite has
yet been given to the public. The report
is given with caution.
LONDON, 6 P. NJ, Dec. 12.-The latest
bulletin reads as follows:
SdndrtnShGn, p. m.-The Prince has
been somewhat less restless this evening.
His general condition is unchanged.
The royal steam yatcht Victoria and Al
bert has been dispatched to bring Princess
Victoria, wife of the German Prince Impe-
rial, to England.
LONDON, P. NJ, Dec. 12.-Private and
unofficial advices from Sandringham and
Windsor, received by the Central Press
News Agency, hold out some slight hope
OF a favorable turn in the Princes disease.
The patients voice remains strong, a proof
that nature is not completely exhausted.
The preparations which were making against
an unfavOrable result are relaxing. The
kilograms sent from Sandringham to Wind
sor are more reassuring. The hopes of the
royal household at the castle have been
raised this afternoon by private dispatch
from Col. Ponsonby.
The Princess Alexandra is almost con-
Stantly at the bedside Of her husband.
When she is compelled to retire for rest her
place is supplied by the Princess Alice. Her
Majesty, the Queen, remains at Sandring-
ham.
A -Conf0rmist Educational Confer
ence which was to have been held at Man
chester, has been postponed on account of
the illness of the Prince.
SANDRINGHAM,il2. p. NJ, Dec. The
Prince has passed an unquiet evening" but
there is no increase of prostration.
LONDON, Dec. 13.-An official dispatch
from Sandringham this morning, saws the
condition of the Prince of Wales is with
out alteration.
The Prince takes food and has been twice
lucid at intervals; but sleep is badly wanted.
His condition is, however, sOmewhat more
hopeful.
The strike Of telegraph employees is still
kept up. Business on many lines is greatly
delayed, and the public are beginning to
complain.
Lord Chief Justice Cockburn has gone to
Geneva to attend the formal preliminary
meeting of the board of arbitrators under
the treaty Of Washington.
The business to be transacted at the
Geneva meeting of the Board of Arbitration
under the treaty of Washington consists in
the ratification Of the powers of the arbi-
traitors. The British Government proposed
to dispense with il, but the Washington
Cabinet objected, and it will be necessary for
all the members of the board to be present
in person on the appointed day. 1t is pos
siblc that at the first meeting a complete Or
-anizatiOn will be effected, but the probabi-
..ty is that nothing viii be attempted be-
yJnd an exchange of credentials.
