London Newspapers Declare That 1t
LIS Highly Priced by the
Royal Family.

Royal Family.
LONDON, Jan. 21.-The Times says:
There is but one sentiment today in
the hearts of English-speaking people
throughout the world. Their eyes are
turned in keen anxiety to the sick bed
where lies the venerable sovereign who
commands not merely the loyalty of her
subjects but the affection of countless
millions
1t requires great medical knowledge
to understand the meaning of the latest
bulletin. We must acknowledge, how
ever, that our hopes and fears are based
upon imperfect knowledge We can only
await the result with as much calmness
and fortitude as we are able to summon
to our aid.
History affords but few instances of
rulers who have won the deep personal
anection and regard enjoyed by our be-
loved queen. Even among those not of
our blood and speech, even among those
who have little that Is good to say OF
the British people, there is unstinted
praise and warm regard for the British
queen. If we seemed more like her
In our individual character, and If our
official relations with foreign powers were
carried on with peace and urbanity who
knows that we too should win some Of
the kindly regard testified to today in
every foreign capital"
Referring to the presence of the kaiser.
the Times says: His presence is Ger
many's homage to the very human feel
ings and sympathies so uniformly dis
played by the queen. AS such 1t will be
understood here, and be the more honor
ed and appreciated, because it involves
certain lofty humanity. We do not
doubt it will be understood in all foreign
countries, and it will be watched with
respectful sympathy"
Similar testimonials to Emperor Will
liam's presence appear in almost all the
editorials. The Standard says: 1.-THE
queen awaiting the German emperor's ar
rival, the circumstances could hardly
fail to bring some satisfaction to her
mind. 1t is a satisfaction to watch the
outburst of sympathy that her majesty's
illness has evoked. In the United States
the progress of her majestys illness is
watched almost as closely as in ,Lodon,
and the bitterest critics Of England speak
only words of respect for England
queen"
The morning Post says: "Out of the
most reverent and profound respect for
our sovereign we must stand silent for
the sorrow which faces us. The love
and admiration of her subjects are, IN
happily, of no avail. Nothing in these
dark days, when sorrow is heavy on US,
will have so sweet an effect upon the
minds OF the queen subjects throughout
the world as the arrival of Emperor Will
liam"
The Daily Telegraph says: "a precious
and beloved existence hovers, at last,
upon the brink of the great mystery.
A life Of lives is dropping towards the
valley of shadow and the empire awaits
in silence and sorrow.
''But above all is the concern, kindness
and wonderful homage of mankind. En-
peror William, above ALL has expressed
his wonderful feeling, not in words, but
in action and national affection of Eng
land will never forget it.
sit is one of the saddest events Of
the hour that Empress Frederick is not
able to be present. Therefore Emperor
Williams presence is doubly dutiful, and
at Osborne house it is doubly dear"
Proceeding to refer in detail to the
sympathy displayed in all parts of the
globe, it says: For the American people
the character and domestic example of
the queen have been a conservation of
the Anglo-Saxon idea. They have been
regarded as hardly less the possession Of
the United States than of ourselves, and
they have gone far to restore the moral
unity Of the race and to bring strife to its
practical solution"
