On all sides it is tale of public and
private engagements and functions

all classes Of society. The newspaper

Bishop Potter compared her majesty
to Washington. No American could go
further than that"
The Daily Telegraph says: ''Tt seems
but a brief interval since England was
the center of almost universal hostility.
Today all international hOstilities are
hushed and stilled as they never were
before by any other single event in the

The Chronicle observes: TN the Unit

commonality of blood which flows in
British and American veins has been
rarely more manifested or warmly rec

sympathy to England in her hour of

QUEEN a PERSISTENT WORKER
Inspected All Important Foreign
Office DISPATCHES.

London Jan 22.zThe papers devote
columns of space to historical and per-
sonal "reminiscences, the scenes and in
cidents OF the queens life. Emphasis
is laid on the fact that her majesty is
now paying the penalty for her devotion
to affairs of state. It is generally rec
ognized that until a few days ago there
was no harder worker in the kingdom
Roughly estimated she signed $4,000
documents yearly. No dispatch Of any
gravity was ever issued from the for
eign office until seen by the queen, and
some of the work thus entailed is gath
erable from the fact that the foreign
office handles considerably over thou
sand dispatches weekly
After every sitting of the house of
commons the government leader in the
house was in the habit OF forwarding 10
the queen an abstract of the business
done She personally attended to these
and frequently returned them with mar
ginal notes asking for explanations.
Ellen Terry's appearance at Sandr1ng-
ham before the queen is recalled as be-
ing the only occasion on which her
majesty ever prompted an actress. Mis-
taking pause by Miss Terry for forget
fulness the queen gave her the cue very
softly AS Miss Terry did not take the
cue the queen repeated 1t more loudly,
and the actress, suppressing her merri-
ment, accepted the cue and proceeded
with her part.

article in this style:

FIGURING ON THE SUCCESSION
British Officials Seem to Be Not Quite
Clear as to Their Duty.

New York, Jan. 22-In discussing the
critical condition of the queen and the
ascension of the Prince of Wales. the
London correspondent of the Tribune.
says:
Precedents have closely engaged the
attention of the law officers of the crown
with view to the emergency. The re-
form act of 1867 has an explicit prOViS-
ion that if parliament at the time Of
the sovereign's death be separated by
adjournment or prorogatlon it must as
semble Immediately. As there are adj
5Ourned sessions of the new parliament
day after the queens death. The object
Of this statute, is clearly to bring in
parliament privilege in regulating and
sanctioning the succession to the throne.
In this emergency it would be a short,
formal session for administering the
oath of allegiance to the new king and
there would be probably an immediate
adjournment or prorogation until a Ia
ted period in the spring.
Treasury officials are quoted as won
dering how, If no legislative business
viii be done until May, Sir Michael
Hicks Beach can get on without finan-
cial supplies and increased borrowing
powers when the war is still in pro-
gress. It is by no means probable how
ever that the usual arrangements for
the session and budget week will be up
set The new reign may involve form
alities such as designations of the min
istry. but these will not be accepted and
the usual order of legislation is likely
to follow.
Other points connected with the suc-
cession Of the king are in doubt If the
Prince of Wales be at Osborne, however,
he will not require formal information
respecting the queens death The first
council will be held at his pleasure and
the home secretary will advise him re-
specting all technical points The prime
the lord high chancellor, the
lord chamberlain and the archbishop
Of Canterbury, without doubt have been
taking measures to ascertain what their
traditional duties and rights are and
the new king viii command their ser
vices as he may require them.

CAN'T GO TO HER MOTHER.
Dowager Emp ress of Germany Un-
able to Stand Journey.

London, Jan. 22.-The following state
ment as to the condition Of Dowager
Empress Frederick appears in the Daily
Chronicle:
1T is with sincere regret that we an
nounce that the Empress Frederick's
condition has become materially worse
There has been a serious development
of the disease from which she is suffer
ing and her physical pain is intense.
All idea of any journey in pursuit of
health has been definitely abandoned,
and it is in the highest degree imptob-
able that she will ever leave Cron-
berg
This is somewhat at variance with re-
ports from Berlin to the other morning
papers, which report that the condition
of the dowager empress is a trifle more
favorable, but as the Associated Press
has already announced, the news that
Queen Victoria was dying had very
serious effect upon her Oldest daughter.
The dowager empress was very anxious
to go to Osborne, and did not abandon
the hope of going until it was represent
ed to her that it would be utterly i'm
possible for her to undertake the
journey.
Berlin. Jan. 22.-The Norde Deutsche
Allegime Zeitung makes the following
announcement:
*'Dowager Empress Frederick, because
seriously i'll is, to her very great sorrow,
prevented from going to Osborne to
meet her exalted mother.
THE effect of the sad news regarding
Queen Victoria on her eldest daughter
has been very unfavorable. Princess
Victoria on learning of this had
to go to Cronberg in order to
inquire personally as to the condition
Of the kaiser's mother, but later news
