THE BEGINNING OF THE END.
Queen Was Greatly Shocked by Lord
Roberts Report of the War.

Roberts Report of the War.
London, Jan. 21.-The queen really
broke down on Jan. 2 the day Lord
Roberts returned from South Africa.
The steamship bringing him to South
ampton, which is just across the So
lent from Osborne, was stopped before
docking and Roberts was commended
to report Immediately to her. The gal
liant old soldier bowed the knee to his
sovereign, was loaded with honors and
then placed on the witness stand 1t
is no secret in court circles that much
bad news of the war was kept from
the queen during the past few months.
She commanded Roberts to speak out
plainly and asked him dozens of ques-
lions.
Then the aged monarch learned for
the first time all the horrors of the
Boer war and of the enormous British
losses from bullets and disease. AS
Roberts answered her questions with
sorry bluntness and frankness, the
queen grew almost hysterical and wept
over the suffering of her soldiers when
she leanred that the campaign must
last some time longer, with further
grew hysterical and called up Sails
bury over his telephone. The premier
was not in his office at the time, and
the queen got Secretary of War Brod-
rick ON the telephone and. In excited
tones, asked him to stop the war inn
mediately. The royal encourage could
not stop her. The queen declared that
she could not permit the awful war to
continue another day.
Brodrick made diplomatic answers
and said he would see Salisbury. Then
the queen sent a number of kilograms
in her own name to various persons
high In authority of the same tenor.
There was much excitement in govern
ment circles, and Salisbury was quick
ly Informed by the queens attendants
of her condition, and he succeeded in
counteracting the effect of the queens
kilograms by diplomatic messages ex-
planning her majesty's sad state.
There are reports that the queen had
telegraphed to persons outside Of Eng
land, endeavoring to stop the war i'm
mediately. That day marked the be-
ginning of her mental collapse The
physical collapse was delayed two
