LONDON, Jan. 16.-Preparations for
the funeral of the Duke of Clarence and
Avondale are being made on all sides
at Sandringham by the railway COM
companies, and at Windsor Castle. 1t
is believed that the statements regard
ing the condition of the Queens
health are grossly exaggerated.
AS has been before stated she is greatly
affected by the death of her favorite
grandson, and her depression would
naturally tend to make her more liable
to an attack of the prevailing epidemic,
influenza, but that she is seriously or at
all unwell is not shown by the arrange
ments that have been made for her
presence at the funeral ceremonies. AS
has now been decided Her Majesty
will remain at Osborne House until
either Monday night or Tuesday morn
ing. She will then proceed on the
royal yacht TO Portsmouth, from which
place special train will convey her to
London. She will arrive at Windsor Cas-
tie early on Tuesday. The body of the
Duke will be conveyed from Sandring-
ham, and will arrive at Windsor Castle on
the same day. ALI the details of the
funeral have not. been arranged, but It Is
announced positively that the interment
will take place on noon on Wednesday.
The body will be placed in the crypt in st.
Georges Chapel.
PRINCE SAID TO BE INSANE. aesss@
Il sensational story is printed here to-
day IN regard TO the last Illness OF Inc
Prince. It is said that during his final i'll
ness he became hopelessly insane. The
rawlings of the royal maniac are said to
nave been frightful, and he lived over in
his delirium some of the fast days which
he had passed IN different countries and in
all cIimes. While in this state OF frenzy ne
made repeated efforts to commit suicide.
1t Is the memory of those last hours which
has made such an impression upon the
Prince and Princess of Wales. That
Prince Albert Victor became insane as
soon as the disease commenced to ravage
his system is not to be wondered at when
the laws of heredity are remembered, for
the families of both his father and mother
are not free from the faint. And the
Crown Prince has never been regarded as
strong mentally, morally or physically.
But it is the immediate cause of that lnSan-
itv on the eve of the marriage OF the Prince
with Princess May which is causing an I'M
mense amount of quiet gossip.
