LONDON, March 2l.-The injuries received
by the Queen on Saturday by slipping upon the
stairs of the palace at Windsor while descend
ing to take her carriage for ride, now turn
out to be more serious than first supposed, and
1t is believed she will be confined TO her room
for some time. At the time OF the accident

Queen, after retiring TO her room and making
an examination In order TO ascertain the ex-
tent OF her injuries. determined to carry out
her intention and take drive out. On re-
turning, and when attempting to leave the car
riage, she found that she was unable TO d. so,
and had TO be assisted by her attendant, who
found IL necessary TO carry her to her room.
Her Majesty's physicians were at once sum-
moned, and upon examination found her knee
10 be badly swollen and inhamed.

city concerning the condition OF Her Majesty
the Queen. Crowds stand about the bulletin
places eagerly watching and asking her condi-

posted up notices OF absence at their places OF
business and gone to the clubs, newspaper
buildings and telegraph offices TO await the

that the Queen is constantly attended by full
corps Of the royal physicians The crowd sur
rounding the bulletin was SO great that those

mand for reader was made. A gtrong-voiced
man mounted pile of paving stones aud cried
out the intelligence. When the man motioned

almost exclusively composed of workngmen,
was uncovered and breathlessly still. The
bulletin produced the most evident depression.
A bulletin has been put up announcing that
the knee upon which Her Majesty fell when
she slipped upon the stairs has become greatly
swollen, and that every effort Is being made 10
confine the swelling.

sicians have authorized the statement 10 be
made that Her Majesty Is in no immediate
danger. The statement is coupled with the in
formation that she may, however, be confined
for an indefinite time TO her room. 1t is un-
derstood that the Queen is suffering quite as
much from the exhaustion produced by her de-
termined action in taking the long ride after
she received her injury, for the purpose OF dis
abusing the public mind OF al impression that
