anything, is slightly BETTER"
A bulletin issued at 8 p. m. said:

unfavorable symptoms. During the day
the condition of the duke has been the
cause of grave anxiety, although his
strength is maintained"
3 Private adviceS communicated from
Sandringham hall to intimate friends of
the family explain the serious tone of
today:s bulletins. Until yesterday even
ing only one lung of the duke was Sc
verely affected. Early this morning,
however, an examination showed that
both lungs were congested. The pa
tient suffers frequently from acute pain
and his breathing is difficult.
The Doctors main hope is that the
dukes sound constitution will pull him
through, but the family know that he
has not the robust vitality of his
brother. DR.. Laking, with his knowl-

ease extensive experience gained
among fever patients inst. Mary's
hospital. The patient is assiduously
nursed by his mother, who is OCCASION

malady from which the duke is suffer
ing developed so rapidly early this
morning that his mother remained at
his bedside, refusing to take any rest
throughout the night. The sudden
change for the worse in the patients
condition struck the whole household
with dismay. and tile fear of the duke
Snccumbing to the disease kept every
one watchful.
LARGE groups of persons waited anx-
ionsly outside the gates of Sandringham
information that could be obtained In
regard to the condition of the patient.
Premature Rumors.
The fumes that the young duke was
dying was current at O'clock in the
afternoon. A silence so deep that pin
could be heard drop fell upon the wait
ing crowds at the gates when they saw
the Prince OF Wales leave the house
and solemnly pace up and down before
the Norfolk gate. A little later Princess
May, accompanied by Prince George,
also came out of the house and Joined
the Prince of Wales.
The princess told friend having ac-
cess to the household that this was
really the seventh day Of the dukes ILL
ness. Wednesday last, she said, the
Duke of Clarence was a member of a
party which was shooting over game
Sandringham hall. AT luncheon he
complained Of not feeling as well ais
usual, was seen to shiver, and
said that he felt he was taking
cold, but after the meal he con.
tinued shooting. AT the conclusion of
the sport he walked home instead of
driving with the rest OF the party. That
evening he dined with the assembled
company, but was obliged to retire
early. Thursday efforts were made to
dissuade him from joining the shooting
party, but he insisted on doing so, say
ing he felt equal to the exercise.
Faithful Princess May.
After.luncbeon, however, he was COM
PEELED to return home, and left the
party, going on foot Princess May ac-
cOmpanied him in the walk. He seemed
rather better during the evening of the
same day, but his malady began to de-
clare itself Friday. Princess May is

and the general opinion expressed
is that. even should the prince re-
cover, the royal wedding will be
postponed for some time to come.
Prayers for the princes recovery were
offered last night in a number of
churches in this city and throughout
the country. The congregations were
hurriedly called together by special
summons issued by the clergy. and
many other expressions of grief and
sympathy with the royal family have
taken place among the loyal subjects of
her majesty. Entertainments that were
to have taken place last night and to-
night have been stopped, owing to the
sickness of the prince.
