the Queens Revival.
Cowes Isle of Wight, Jan. %, a. m.-
Another day in the Victorian era, now
so rapidly drawing to a close, passed
without any great change in the condi-
tion of queen Victoria. The slight i'm
proyement so frequently mentioned in the
official bulletins merely indicates a post
ponement of the inevitable. The end may
be matter of days or only hours; but
the members of the royal family who are
dragging out weary visit at Osborne
House know that the death of Her Ma
5esty is merely a question Of a short
time.

day was the satisfactory portion the
queen spent in, consciousness, which she

undergone during the early hours of
Monday. The correspondent of the Asso-

Prince of Wales arrived.
To secure this result they resorted

payne. These stimulants, used to an eX-
tent, which only the greatest emergency
Justifies, worked their process; and, when,
the Prince of Wales and Emperor Will
liam entered the castle grounds at 11:9O
a. m they found the Queen trihe better
than had been expected.
The desperate remedies employed Monday
morning to enable her Majesty to live
