QUEEN VICTORIA DYING.
Ecr Death is Hourly EXpected-Hcr
Life

Cowes. Isle Of Wight, By Cable
The Official bulletin issued at midnight
Sunday sasys that the Queens con-
diticn became more serious, with in
creasing weakness and diminished
power c.. taking nourishment. A col
lapse, or what physicians feared was q
collapse. occurred Unexpectedly aboE
10 o'clock Sunday evening. Arrange
ments were hurriedly made to provide
special tele2honic and telegraphic ia
cilities. Details are not obtafnable
but it is asserted that Her MaJestys
condition is chiefly due to a severe
sinking spell and an increase OF the
paralytic symptoms. 1t is understood
that the physicians have resorted to
artificial means to prolong life such as
are used only IN case of persons in ex-
tremis. The Associated Press learns
that the paralysis is chiefly evident in
the face. one side of which appears TO
have lost all nerve and muscular pow
or. At 6 o'clock the malady had not
reached the vital organs. although II
lad naturally 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 appearance. the
Queen had absolutely refused to see
any one but her nurses and physicians,
and it is understood that the PPrlnce
OF Wales is the only exception TO this
rule and that his interview with the
Queen lasted but rev moments.
Hence the exact nature OF the malady
is known only to a very few. and it is
the royal wish that the public should
not Be Informed OF the existence Of
paralysis. Arrangements have been
made with local undertaken to have
all the preliminaries TO burial ready
in case of an emergency.
