the summons from Osborne house
The most he could do was to promise
that he would leave London at

IT is worthy of note that even Mon

Emperor William, the prince of
Wales and the duke of York arrived
at Osborne house Monday. The only
additional royal parsonage who ar
rived Sunday was the Princess Vic
toria of Schleswig- Holstein, who ar
rived during the afternoon.
The departure of the prince of
Wales for London shortly after IL
O'Clock to meet Emperor William was
quietly accomplished. The queen
had been informed of the kaiser's
coming and had signified her desire
that the prince should go to meet
him.
Rather against his will the man
who for the moment was practically
the king OF England obeye1 his
mothers wishes. IL was rulnored
that the queen wanted the emperor
TO postpone his visit to Osborne
house, as she did not wish to receive
him in her present condition.
London. Jan. 24.-Throughout the
United Kingdom there was Sunday
of anxiety and suspense. No one in
England outside the circle of the
court knew the real condition Of the
queen or the nature of her disease.
The bulletins threw but little light
on the universal question whether
death was imminent. The London
newspapers had not learned that her
icsty had suffered shock Of par
alysis. Extra editions of the Sunday
papers contained no information, but
there were many of the official bulle-
tins. and they were eagerly bought.
Crowds assembled TO witness the
arrival OF Emperor William. Apart
from such incidents. however. the
customary quiet of a London Sunday
was not disturbed
The most alarming reports of the
day came in the form Of kilograms

from the princesses at Osborne
house. The coming of Emperor VIII
liam and the news thar King Leopold
was about starting for London in
spired fears that death was at hand
On the other hand. the fact that the
prince of Wales was able to leave
Osborne house had an encouraging
effect. When the prince arrived at
Victoria station, London. at = o'clock,
with Sir Francis Knollys attending,
several hundred people were there to
greet him.
But there was no demonstration
beyond respectful raising of hats.
The earl of Clarendon and the earl of
Pembroke received the prince. When
they inquired regarding the queens
condition he replied, 'Tou see they
have let me come away"
The prince of Wales arrived lust
before the train entered the station.
which was 6:2O p. m. The duke of
York. Prince Christian, Prince Albert
of Schleswig-Holstein and Prince Ar
thur of Connaught completed the
group of royal personagcs. Emperor
William stepped out of IA saloon car
wearing n travelling suit. He saluted
the prince of Wales by kissing him
on both cheeks, and the prince re-
turned n similar salutation. He then
embraced the duke of York and shook
hands with the others.
The people who looked on as the
carriages drove Oft uncovered their
heads, and Emperor William and the
prince of Wales acknowledged the
courtesy by raising their hats. No
cheers broke the mournful silence.
The crowd in the vicinity of Bucking-
ham palace maintained the same de-
mcanor when the emperor and the
prince of Wales entered the grounds.
At 10 p. IN. the prince of Wales began
conversation with Osborne house
which lasted nearly an hour. AS n
result of this the emperor and the
prince started for Osborne Monday
