liam, local rumors to the contrary not
withstandinz.
The royalty at Osborne thus had a
chance TO recuperate from the terrible
ordeal undergone during the early
hours Of Monday The correspondent
o. the Associated Press is informed
that the members of the royal family
were called TO a room adjoining the
queens bed chamber no less than four
TINES in all. and were kept in mOmen-
tary expectation of being summoned TO
witness the end up to $50. Her mai
esty's PHYSICIANS then cad only yes
tge Of nope that they would be able
TO keep the queens feeble life in exist
ence until the Prince Of Wales arrived
Given Brandy and Champagne.
To secure this result they resorted to
the frequent use of brandy and cham
payne. These stimulauts, used to an
extent which only the greatest emer-
gency justified, worked their process,
and when the Prince of Wales and En-
perOr William entered the castle
grounds at 1870 a. M. they found the
queen :. yIifie better than they had eX-
Dected.
The desperate remedies employed
Monday morning to enable her majesty
to live until her eldest sons arrival VIII
not be used again to the same extent,
Tor the doctors are fearful that the
remedy might be almost worse than tne
disease. They trust 70 prO.ong her lire
by a moderate application of stimu-
lants combined with as much nOuriSh-
ment as can be assimilated. Such eX-
pedients as were employed during sun
Gay evening and Monday morning are
not considered jUstifable.
Even Doctors Are Astonished.
The queens rally astonished no one
more than her physicians and when,
a ofrf1rTr rrazfsas-rFa.rr . rraTsnDnn rhnE
heard her ask for chicken broth, their
amaZement almost eCualed their de-
light. Privately, however, they build
no false hopes upon these fading signs
Of what has been one of the strongest
constitutions with which a woman was
ever endowed. Despite the favorable
afternoon, the doctors dreaded greatly
the period between O'Clock and mid
night. When that was passed they
seemed hopeful of her majesty at least
through another day, though their
'emOry or the previous nights relapse
kept their anxiety at high tension
The news of the death. when il Oc-
ours. is likely to be public announced
in London before il is announced here,
as, according to present arrangements,
the first telegram is 10 be sent 10 the
lord mayor Of London.
There is an enormous Geographic
staff in COWes, and additional facili-
ties were installed yesterday at Os-
borne.
Villagers Fear Loss Of Money.
Already the villagers are bewailing
the fate that is likely to befau COwes.
for il is known that the Prince of
Wales viii probably never make Os-
borne house a place of residence.
There is an entire absence of local
excitement. The town has settled
down in patience and sadness to await
the inevitable. Never has Emperor
William arrived at any place in Eng
land with so little eclat. No Salutes
We're fired; no cheers were given; the
men of the guard ship Australia silent
" manned her sides. The crowd was
equally undemOnstrative, the people
COntentlng themselves with bareing
their heads. It was a greeting given
TO the grandson of a dying woman,
more than to the ruler of a great ally.
After lunch at the castle the Prince
of Wales, Emperor William and the
Duke of CCnnaUght stTOIled around the
grounds and visited the sailors home.
The Bishop of Winchester. who has
been at Osborne since Saturday, visited
the rector of Whippingham. Mean
while most of the women at Osborne
house snatched few hours of sleep
Then a duh evening dragged into
night and the uneasy sieepeTs. around
whose royal home the wind hOWled pit
ilessly. got what rest they could at in
terVals.
