Public View Of Body.
The last public view of the bodys is
in progress today, when the CORE
spondents gathered at Cowes are being
admitted to Osborne house by order of
the king. The emperor of Germany
rules over the hearts Of the people of
the Isle of Wight. Striking evidence
of the enduring affection the kaiser's
visit to Osborne has won him was CIV
er this morning, when Cowes welcom-
ed his son, the crown prince Frederick
William, who reached Trinity pier at
II o'clock.
The emperor had gone to Portsmouth
to meet the young prince. When the
royal pair alighted from the kings
yacht Alberta. and walked to their car
riage, arm in ARM, cheers of greeting
rung in their ears. The warmth of the
reception was more pronounced than
any the village has given even King
Edward himself.
There is deep appreciation of the
kaiser's latest mark of devotion to the
dead queen-that of ordering a fleet of
nine German warships to participate
in next Fridays historic naval pageant.
Cowes thinks King Edward has done
nothing too eXtravagant in creating his
German imperial kinsman a field mar
shall of the British army.
All the members of the German en-
bassy come to Cowes tonight for the
purpose of congratulating Emperor
William on his Add birthday tomorrow.
The new prince of Wales and heir
apparent to the British throne is
George Frederick Ernest Albert, until
the queens death bearing the title duke
of York. He was born on June3. 1868,
and on the death of his brother, the
duke of Clarence, in January. 1892, he
became the heir after his father to the
British throne. The title Of duke of
York is appropriated exclusively to
members of the royal family Of Great
Britain. 1t has often been given to
younger sons of the reigning monarch,
and the title was borne by Henry VIII,
assembled the throne.
From his early childhood Prince
George presented a striking contrast
to his elder brother, the duke of Clar'
ence. The latter was pale. pensive, re-
firing, but with a singular grace of
manner and department that never af'
terward forsook him; the other was
ruddy of countenance, full of bright
ness and brusque vivacity. The fea'
lures of the elder were finally cut, in
close resemblance to those of his faith
err at the same early age. Prince
George had only reached the required
age two days before, and was perhaps
the youngest cadet ever admitted to
service. For two years they were on
the training ship Dartmouth, the
younger winning a reputation for ath'
letic prowess unusual for his age. Then
on July is, 1879, they set out on their
famous three years voyage in the BAG
chante. They visited the West Indies
