MOURNING IN ENGLAND.


don says. The Prince and Princess OF Wales
are too much prostrated by grief to suggest a,
| yet any details of the funeral OF their SON
The prince, it is said. has spent his time in
almost entire seciusion with the princess, hardl
speaking to any one and at intervals visiting
, the chamber Of death. The Princess of Vale.
is said to bear her first great bereavement with
greater fo-titude than the prince, whose quiet
and haggard appearance when he appeared al
! a window this afternoon and looked upon the
familiar grounds in which he had seen his fam
| lily group about him was more eloquent Of the
[ depth of his bereavement than tears would
| have been.
The Princess May is said to be almost on the
verge OF mental collapse. The worst sign ID
her restlessness. She wanders about in an aim
less way through the house as if she expected
| 10 meet her royal lover somewhere alive and be
| greeted by him in the old way. Her grief at
| the deathbed was 50 overwhelming that ii at
tracted the attention Of the Prince and Princess
| OF Wales from their own. 1t is said that the
dying prince gave her n last look OF recognition
rs she kissed his forehead.
At THE Detained.
! So far the official news of the last scene is
| very bare. and what ID known has leaked out
! from the whispers of the household retainers
| These seem to be almost ms Frustrated az their
: master and mistress. The Prince and Princess
of Wales are deeply beloved. not only by the
servants OF the household. but by the tenantry
of the Sandrinsham and the Esta. and among
the tenants there conld hardly be greater grief
II the ioss WINS in their own families When
e~rr de th has occurred among the tenantry
the Prince and Princess of Wales have made it
duty to visit or send condolences to the
stricken house hold and now. when there is
mourning In SaudringLam, every house i'll the
vicinity Is also IN mourning and tears can be
seen rolling down the faces OF the faithful re-
taihers.
The official account. lust given out. of the
death OF the duke says that the Rev. Fred X.
A ). Heryey, domestic chaplain 10 the Prince
of Wales. read the prayers Tor the dying man
when the end was near. In the room were as
sembled tho FRINGE and Princess of Wales,
Prince George, the Duke and Duchess Of Fife,
the Princesses Victoria anG Maude Sisters of
the dying duke), the Prince and Princess of
Teck and the Princess May (the dukes be-
trothed). Along with these were three physi-
clans and three nurses.
The official account gives no description of
the dying scene.
THE QUEEN PRoSTEATED.
Queen Victoria is said to be more Frustrated
than when she lost Alice and Prince Leopold.
Clarence WAS OF an especially amable lispo-
sition and had won his way to his grand
mothers heart. Queen Victoria was devotediy
! attached to him. When he was babe she took
pleasure IN nursing him, and it remarked
that she could not have cared more for the
Prince OF Wales when an infant. Indeed, the
saying Is ascribed to her majesty that she
looked OH Clarence she had on her first-born
son. As he grew up his charming and amiable
way confirmed the attachment formed for him
| rs child and the quean had also the highest
opinion OF his youthful behavior. The night
before his death it is said that she hardly
| slept and when the sad news came she wished
at once to proceed to Sandringham Although
1t had been her purpose to go there i'll any
event, yet her grief was impressive that
those around her feared the effec; that meet
| ing with the dead and with the stricken family
at Sandringham might have upon the aged
lady, and her medical.-advisor was summoned
for consultation as to the prudence of the Jour-
ney. Even when her physician advised against
1t the queen could with difficulty be dissuaded
| from Fastening to Clarences bedside.
MANY WORDS CoNDoLEScc.
kilograms continue to pour in from all parts
of the world, and there is generally satisfaction
expressed over the fact that even the bitterness
Of Irish partsanship seems to be forgotten in
the generosity of Irish sympathy for the royal
| family, bereayed under such painful crcum-
| stances The expression of coincidence by the
| intensely national municipal authorities of
| Dublin has been followed by message of 10y
atty and devotion from the apprentice boys Of
Derry The latter telegraphed their sympathy
| to the Prince of Wales saying: SOUR hearts are
with you and our colors are at half-mast That
| God may sustain the Prince and Princess of
Wales, the Princess May and our widowed
queen in this great affection is the prayer of
| the loyal hearts of Derry
| Numerous meetings in various parts of the
| country that had convened to make arrange
I ments for wedding gifts to the duke and
Princess May on the occasion of their marriage
| adjourned after voting messages of coincidence,
| and committees appointed to purchase will send
wreaths instead for the funeral But few thea
| tiers muslc halls fopiUbt in INV
| of the united kingdom and those have but
| scant patronage.
| The cities of Edinburgh. Manchester, Liver
! pool and Glasgow will hold off their memorial
| on the day OF the funeral. The Dublin papers
! all express deep regret for the visitation that
has come upon the royal family and this fact
| evokes gratified comment among Londoners
| The kingstown town commissioners and the
south Dublin board of guardians, the Royal
| Dublin Society and other bodies official and
| otherwise, in the sister island have sent word
Of sorrow and sympathy. In London. as well
| as other cities, many shops have had their
shutters up all day since hearing the news.

Although the funeral arrangements await the
direction Of the Duke of Edinburgh 1T is stated
| that nearly all the imperial and royal families
Of Europe will be represented, the deceased
