Queen Victoria Meets With an ACCIDENT
Which May Cause Her Death
NEW YORK, March 2t.--A London
special says the injuries received by the
queen Saturday by clipping upon the
stairs of the palace at Windsor while
descending to take her carriage for
ride, now turn out to be more serious
than was at first supposed and it is be-
lleved she will be confined to her room
some time. At the time of the accident
her majesty and attendants thought lit
tie of 1t. The queen, after returning to
her room and making an examination
In order TO ascertain the ex-
tent OF her injuries, determined
take drive. On returning and when
attempting 10 leave the carriage she
found she was unable to do SO and had
to be assisted by her attendants, who
found it necessary to carry her to her
room. Her maiesty's physicians were at
once summoned and upon examination
found her knee to be badly swollen and
inflamed. There is much uneasiness
throughout the city concerning her con-
ditiop. Crowds stand about the bulls
tins eagerly waiting and
asking for news. Great numbers of
business men post up notices of absence
at their places OF business and have gone
to their clubs, the newspaper buildings
and telegraph offices to await news
The newspapers have all sent special
correspondents to Windsor and have
made complete arrangements for bullet.
ms. The house Of parliament is crowded
| and the streets in many places are
hlnntRG vJIfh ,ernugHd nj oh
people, who have knocked OF work in
| their anxiety to keep inform ed. 1t is
not believed by those having access to
| authentic Information that the Queens
injuries are dangerous, in themselves,
but there is fear that, owing to the ad-
vanced age of her majesty and the
somewhat delicate condition of
her health for sometime, danger
| GUS complication may arise from
them. A bulletin Just posted
announces that the queen is con-
stantly attended by full corps of royal
| physicians. The crowd surrounding
the bulletin was so great that those IN
the rear could not make it out and q
demand for reader was made. A
man mounted pile of paving stones
and cried out the intelligence. When
the man motioned to make his first ut
l lcEduCes tue crown, WHICH was almost
exclusively composed of working
men. uncovered their heads and
was still. The bulletin produced
the most profound depression. It an
nounced that the knee upon which her
majesty fell, has become greatly swollen
and that every effort IS being made to
confine the swelling.
4 p. NIT is announced that the
| queens physicians have authorized the
statement to be made that her majesty is
in no immediate danger. The statement
is coupled with the information
that her majesty may, however, be con-
| fined for al indefinite time to come It
is understood that the queen is suffering
quite as much FROM exhaustion caused
by her determined action in taking the
long ride after shs received the injury,
for the purpose of disabusIng the public
mind of all impression that she
| was hurt, as from the conse-
quence of the wound itself. This
| fortitude is the theme of universal
comment and the working people seem
to glory in talking about what they call
1.-THE bravery OF the queen"
4:30 p. ma bulletin repQrts the
queen resting comfortably and her for
bearance and calmness have entirely
succeeded in conquering those elements
of the case which might have proved
troublesome.
