END may be matter OF days or only
hours; but the members OF the Royal
family who are dragging out q weary
visit at Osborne house know that the
death OF Her Majesty is merely a Ques-
ton of s.sicstt time The most notice

cuperate from the terrible ordeal un-
dergone during the early hours OF Non
day.
The correspondent Of the Associated
Press is Informed that the members Of
the royal family were called to a room
adjoining the Queens bed chamber nc
less than four times yesterday morning
and were kept in monsentary expecta-
ton of being summoned to witness the
end up TO half past five. Her Asajesty's
physicians then had only \ vestige of
hope that they would be able TO keep
the queens feeble life in existence until
the Prince OF Wales arrived. To secure
this result they rescrted 20 the frequent
use OF brandy and champagne. These
stimulants, used to-an extent which
only the greatest emergency justified.

Prince of Wales ana Emperor William
entered the castle grounds at 1850 a.

The Queens rally astonished no one
more than her physicians and when, at
1 O'clock yesterday afternoon they
heard her ask for chicken broth the
amazement almost equalled their dc,

false hopes upon these fading signs OF
what has been one OF the strongest con-
situations with which a woman was
ever endowed.
Despite the favorable afternoon the
doctors dreaded greatly the period be.

that was safely passed they seemed
