NEWS RECEIVED IN LONDON.
When the solemn tolling Of the great
bells in St. Paul's cathedral were heard
this morning they conveyed to every
ono within hearing OF their deep
mouthed booming tho fact that the
duke had passed away. The bells in St.
Paul's arc never tolled save on the oc-
Casion OF the death OF IN heir to the
throne, and therefore no further in
formation was necessary for the people
Of London 10 make them aware that
after Il gallant struggle the heir pre-
sumptivc had finally succumbed. The
announcement OF his death caused far
less commotion in the city than was cx-
pected, but this was no doubt due to
the fact that nearly everybody had al
ready given up hope.
The telegram from the Prince Of
Wales to Lord Mayor Evans, announce
ing the death OF tho duke, was not
posted at the Mansion House until 1880
o'clock. When the little piece OF white
paper was put up there were only few.
persons in waiting. They received the
news with stolid indifference. The
crowd at no time exceeded thirty dur
ing tho first hall hour after the an
nouEcemcnt was posted, and scarcely
any comments were made.
In the West End there was q scene
that was in striking contrast to the in
difference displayed in tho vicinity Of
the Mansion Houce. Hundreds OF per-
sons well known in the upper circles OF
London society, member0 OF the no.
hility and others gathered in little
groups and gravely discussed the death
Oithe duke and its effect on the sue
cession in all its bearings. Serious
faces could be seen all along Pail Mall,
and there is 10 doubt that the calamity
is much taken to heart by the English
nobility.
THE SCENES AT sANDIISGuAM.
Up TO noon no official bulletin OF the
death OF the duke had been issued at
Sandringham hall, but soon after 10
oClocl; the blinds OF the house were
drawn, the flag on the church was
placed at half mast, and the church
bell began tolling. These facts gave to
the people waiting about tho gates the
information that all was over. at an
early hour this morning reinforce.
meAtso OF police were sent to Sandring-
ham, and they prevented any access to
10 the house.
AS the day progressed the crowd in
tho vicinity OF Marlborough House in
creased: The mall was at times COM
pletcly blocked with carriages convey
