Next In LiuV Of Succession to the Late Albert
Victor,
LoNDoS, Jan. l5.-Apprehcnsion now
is felt in many quarters regarding the
condition OF the Princess OF Wales.
Her Royal IIighness takes the death
OF her son very much to heart, and re-
fuses TO be comforted. Her long SER
vice in tho sick looms Of both Prince
George and Prince Victor has naturally
had the effect OF greatly debilitatiug
her, and to-day she is completely pros
trated.
DIR. Laking, one OF the physicians who
attended the duke in his last illness,
remains at sandringham, where his
services are required BY the Princess OF
Wales. lie is also attending the Prin-
cess Victoria Mary, whose poignant
sorrow at the loss OF her betrothed
husband seems to increase rather than
to grow less rs time passes. She, too,
is. prostrated by tho intensity OF her
grief and her refusal to touch food,,' ana
much anxiety is expressed regarding
her.
Princess May stood beside the bed
side OF her royal lover, and through her
bliuding tearI watched him rs his life
ebbed away. When the doctors an
nounced that the duke was dead she
became hystcricai, and her cries were
il eartrending. Efforts were made to
lead her from the room, but for long
time nothing could induce her to leave
the death chamber. She stood by the
bedside and leaning over she called
Eddie, my Eddie" in agonizeI tones,
and ent 'eated him to speak to her once
more. All the time she stood by the
bedside after her lover died she kept
wrin9ing her hads in complete and
utter despair, and adding by her hope
less misery to the sorrows OF those
whose hearts were already bowed down
by the weight OF the terrible aliliction
visited upon them.
Al OF the leading papers to-day pub
lisll long articles on the death OF the
duke. Tic Chronicle directs attention
to the fact that the French monarchy
was wrecked by regency, and that the
English monarchy under George III.
was nearly destroyed blythe same cause.
The Chronicle adds that il cannot avoid
the fear that tho male succession to the
throne is not any too secure.
Preparations arc being made by all
classes oil people to give final mani
fcstation OF their sympathy with the
royal family by attending the funeral OF
the late heir prcsltmptive. About
every city, town and many smaller
communities OF the country will, ii op-
portunity iavors, be represented by
delegations regularly appointed to at
tend the funeral ceremonies. Should
the remains, however be conveyed di-
rect from Sandrinsliam to Windsor ii is
improbable that any great number OF
those anxious 10 take 4 part, however
humble, in the funeral programme, can
be gratitied. Ii it is decided that there
shall be no state funeral procession, the
delegations which arc expected to be
appointed by the various cities will
PROBABLY, as far rs possible, group
themselves at the stations along the
route between Sardringham and Wind
sor.
In the convention OF the Miners Fed
Grafton, now in session at Stokc-upon-
Trent, u resolution expressing sympathy
with the Prince and Princess OF Wales
in their bcreavemcntwas to-day, after n
heated discussion, rejected by vote OF
10 to l3 in iavor OF taking up the prcvi-
Gus question.
