Emperor William Arrives.

Emperor William stepped out of a saloon carriage wearing a travelling suit. He sal uted the Prince of Wales by kissing him on both cheeks. and the Prince returned similar salutation. He then embraced the Duke of York and shook hands with the others.
 The people who looked on as the carriages drove off uncovered their heads, and Elm peror William and the Prince of Wales acknowledged the courtesy by raising their hats. No cheers broke the mournful silence. The crowd in the vicinity of Buckingham Palace maintained the same demeanor when the Emperor and Prince of Wales entered the grounds. At 10 o'clock the Prince of Wales began a conversation with Osborne House. As a result of this the Emperor and the prince decided to start for Osborne this (Monday) morning.
 The rumor that the Marquis of Salisbury and the Archbishop of Canterbury had been summoned to Osborne House was incorrect.
 In churches of all denominations prayers were offered at the morning services, and in most of them bulletins regarding the Queens condition were read. The chief rabbi requested special prayers.
 The following notice was read in the Ro- man Catholic Pro-Cathedral at Kensing ton: e
 "The prayers of the congregation are asked for Her Majesty, the Queen, the con- dition of whose health is cause of anx- iety and sorrow to all We pray that by Gods help Her Majesty's recovery may be speedy and complete"
 The dean of St. Georges Chapel, Windsor, read the prayer for sick person when there is little hope of recovery, beginning:
 For as much in all appearance the time of her dissolution draweth near"

A Collapse Occurred.

Cowes, Isle of Wight, Januay 21 12:15 a. m.-A collapse, or what the physicians feared was collapse occurred unexpect- edly about 10 o'clock last evening. Arrange ments were hurriedly made to provide spe- cial telephonic and telegraphic facilities.
 Details are not obtainable at this hour, but it is asserted that the Queens condi- ton is chiefly due to a severe sinking spell and an increase of the paralytic symp- toms.
 Physicians have resorted to artificial methods to prolong life, such as are used only in cases of persons in extremis.
 The Associated Press learns that the par alysis is chiefly evident in the face, one side of which appears to have lost all nerve and muscular power. At o'clock last even- ing the malady had not reached the vital organs, although it had nearly caused an almost total loss of the power of speech What was so much feared was that the brain might be attacked
 Keenly sensitive to her affliction and ap- pearance, the Queen has absolutely refused to see any one but her nurses and doctors; and it is understood that the Prince of Wales is the only exception to this rule, and that his interviews with the Queen lasted but a few moments. Hence the ex- act nature of the malady is known only to a very few and it is the royal wish that the public should not be informed as to the existence of paralysis.
 Arrangements have been formed with a local undertaken to have all preliminaries as to the burial ready in case of an emer- gency.

London. January 21. - Throughout the United Kingdom yesterday was a Sunday of anxiety and suspense. No one knew the real condition of the Queen nor the nature of her disease The bulletins threw but little light on the universal question whether death was imminent. The London newspapers had not learned that Her Ma jesty had suffered shock of paralysis.
 The most alarming reports of the day came in the form of telegrams from the princesses at Osborne House. The coming of Emperor William and the news that King Leopold was about starting for Lon don inspired fears that death was at hand. On the other hand, the fact that the Prince of Wales was able to leave Osborne House had an encouraging effect. When the prince arrived at Victoria Station Lon- don, the Earl of Clarendon and the Earl of Pembroke received him. When the n- quired regarding the Queens condition he replied: You see they have let me come away"
 The government had arranged to send the fast cruiser Minerva to bring Emperor William, but he embarked on a mail pack ct before he learned of the plans being ac- companied by the Duke of Connaught. Ad- miral Kennedy and Count Won Mirbach of the German embassy received the Emperor at Speerness. Two hours before His Ma jesty's train was due in London people be- gan to gather about Charing Cross Sta tion. The crowd included not only the usual hangers-on, but many fashionable people and hundreds of guests anxious to see the Emperor on his first appearance in London for years. The throng became so large that the railroad authorities erected wooden bearriers and a hundred of the tall- l: est police oe the metropolitan force, with squads of mounted ...o.,. lined up the peo- pie on the streets. forming Iaii~ ic- two blocks to Nelsons monument In Trafalgar Square. Through this line moved process sion of royal carriages, each bearing two footmen In yellow Hveries. The carriages entered the railway station and drew up near the track.
 The Prince of Wales arrived just before the train entered the station, which was at 6:20 D. m The Duke of York, Prince Chris tan, Prince Albert of Schleswig- Holstein and Prince Arthur of Connaught completed the group of royal personages.
