having access 10 authentic information
that the Queens injuries are absolutely
dangerous in themselves, hut there is a
universal fear that, owing to the ad-
vanced age of her Majesty and the
somewhat delicate condition in which
her health has for some time been, some

most exclusively composed of working
men, uncovered and was still. The
bulletin produced the most evident de-
