 Seeing the Queen.
 New York, Jan 26.-Lord Roberts has paid his third visit to Osborne since his return from South Africa. says the Tribune'S London correspond ent. The true story of his first recep- uon has come out. He was terribly shocked by the change in the Queens appearance and the signs of feeble ness, and left the audience room With tears rolling down his face One of the Queens last projects was the ap- pointlnent of the Duke of Connaught as adjutant general. It will probably be carried out at an early day, as the King will need his brothers advice on military matters. It is expected that a patent will be issued at the time of the coronation for the creation of the title of Prince of Wales for George, the Duke of Cornwall and York
 One of the most interesting illus tratlons of the Queens thoughtfullness has come to light in connection with Thursdays ceremonial. says the Tri- bune's London correspondent. When Sir William Vernon Harcourt was home secretary years ago she sent a sealed package to him with instruc- lions that it should not be opened until after her death. Sir Williams son went to the home office recently and. after considerable delay, the package was found and sent to the King. It contained a memorandum covering various points connected with the ceremonialS at the opening of a new reign.
 These were acted upon by the King, and several new precedents were set The Queen long time in advance had anticipated the annoyance and risks of the traditional ceremony, and had taken pains to forewarn and relieve the King.
