sued at midnight says that the queens
condition late this evening became more
serious, with increasing weakness and
diminished power of taking nourish-
ment.
Cowes, Isle Of Wight, Jan. 21 1918 a.
ma collapse, or what the physicians
feared was a collapse, occurred unex-
pectedly about 10 O'Clock last evening.
Arrangements were hurriedly made to
provide special telephone and tele-
graphic facilities. Details are not OBJ
tainable at this hour, but 1t Is asserted
that her majesty's condition Is chiefly
due to a severe sinking spell, and an
increasing of the paralytic symptoms.
1t is understood that the physicians
have resorted to artificial methods of
prolong life such as are used only in
cases of persons in extremis.
Cowes, Isle of Wight, Jan. 21, a. m.
Her majesty's physicians hope that
she may rally by o'clock this (Mon-
day. morning. If she does, it is ex-
pected that she will live throughout the
day. If she does not, all hope will be
abandoned. Immediately on the occur
renee of the queens collapse about 10
o'clock last evening a message was sent
to London summoning the Prince of
Wales and Emperor William. The
Prince Of Wales was in such condi-
tion of health that it was utterly i'm
possible for him to leave London at
that hour; but 1t is hoped that he will
start for Osborne House at eight this
morning.

and the members of the royal family
are now assembled in the queens bed
chamber.

dispatch: "Cowes, Isle of Wight. Jan.
81, 2:30 a. m.-The queen is in a coma
tose condition, and is regarded as pass
ing away"
Cowes, Isle of Wight, Jan. 21.-The
Associated Press learns that the paral-
ysis Is chiefly evident in the face, one
side of which appears to have lost all
nerve and muscular power. At o'clock {
last evening the malady had not reach ;
ed the vital organs, although it had
actually caused an almost total loss of !
the power of speech. What was so {
much feared was that the brain might ]
be attacked. E
Much difficulty has been experienced c
in administering nourishment. for she /
appears quite unable to masticate. To I
this weakness are probably due the long /
spells of unconsciousness through which {
she has been passing, although it is al a
most impossible to distinguish these I
from the insidious encroachments of t
paralysis. e
For more than a week the court Off
GERS have had hard work to keep her
from sleeping at the wrong time. The
last time she drove out the villagers +
were astounded to hear the clear treble
Of the son of the Princess of Battenbere
trilling out popular songs from the roy
al carriage. The explanation is that he v
he was singing to keep his grandmother e
awake. Now and again she dosed, wax y
chant, which to the initiated onlooker II
a world of pathos. b
Emperor William, the Prince of Wales n
and the Duke of York are all expected e
10 arrive at Osborne House to-day T
Monday. The only additional royal et
,ersonage who arrived Yesterday was Q,
he Princess Victoria, of Schleswig- -Hol- b
tein, who arrived during the after n,
loon. +,
