Continued From First Page.l

4 Prince of Wales was able to leave OS-
borne House had an encouraging effect.
When the prince arrived from osborne
at Victoria station, London, at O'Clock,
with Sir Francis Knollys attending, sew
eral hundred people We're there to greet
him. But there was no demonstration
beyond respectful raising of hats. The
Earl of Clarendon and the Earl of Penn
broke received the prince. When they
inquired regarding the queens condl-
tion he replied: "You see, they have let
me come away"
The government had arranged to send
the fast cruiser Minerva to bring EN-
peror William, but he embarked on
mail packet for England before he
learned of the plans, being accompanied
by the Duke of Connaught. The steam
er had rough passage, and on entering
Sherness harbor she went by the war
ships without any ceremonies. Ad-
miral Kennedy and Count Won Mirbach,
Of the German embassy, received the
emperor and escorted him to special
waiting room. Two hours before his
majesty's train was due in London peo-
ple began to gather about Charing
Cross station. The crowd included not
s~ofi1y the usual hangers on, but many
fashionable people and hundreds of Ger
mans, anxious to see the emperor on
his first appearance in London for
years The throng became so large
that the railroad authorities erected
wooden barriers, and a hundred of the
tallest police Of the Metropolitan force,
with squads of mounted men, lined up
the people on the streets, forming
lane for two blocks to Nelson's monu
ment in Trafalgar square. Through
this lane moved procession of royal
carriages. each bearing two footmen in
yellow liveries behind. The carriages
entered the railroad station and drew
up near the track.
The Prince of Wales arrived just be-
fore the train entered the station, which
was at 500 p. m. The Duke of York,
Prince Christian, Prince Albert, of
Schleswig- Holstein, and Prince Arthur,
Of Connaught, completed the group of
royal personages. Emperor William
stepped out of a saloon car, wearing a
travelling suit and soft hat. He sa
luted the Prince of Wales by kissing
him on both cheeks and the prince re-
turned a similar salutation. He then
embraced the Duke of York and shook
bands with the others. The people who
looked on as the carriages drove off I'M
covered their heads and Emperor Will
liam and the Prince of Wales acknowl-
edged the courtesy by raising their
hats. No cheers broke the mournful 81
lence. The crowd in the vicinity of
Buckingham Palace maintained the
same demeanor when the emperor and
the Prince of Wales entered the
grounds.
At 10 o. M the Prince of Wales began |
a conversation by telephone with Os- !
borne House which lasted nearly an
hour. AS result of this the emperor
and the prince decided to start for Os- !
borne this (Monday) morning. Orders
were given that royal yacht should be |
kept in waiting to convey them to the |
Isle of Wight.
During the day the members of the |
diplomatic corps and other notable per-
sons entered their names in the visitors
book at Buckingham Palace.
The rumors that the Marquis of Sails
bury and the Archbishop of Canterbury
had been summoned to Osborne House
are incorrect.
In churches of all denominations
prayers were Offered at the morning
services, and in most Of them the latest
bulletin regarding the queens condition
was read The chief rabbi requested
special prayers.
The following notice was read in the
Roman Catholic pro-Cathedral at Ken
sington: 1.-THE prayers of the congrega-
ton are asked for Her Majesty, the
Queen, the condition of whose health is
a cause of anxiety and sorrow to us all.

tvs recovery may be speedy and COM
plete."
The Dean of st. Georges chapel,
Windsor, read the prayer for sick
person when there is little hope of re-
covery, beginning: For as much as in
all appearance the time of her dssolu-
ton draweth near"
