At the end there was a pause. The Queen with bowed head continued in silent prayer.

Summon- ing the Empress Frederick, who bowed low at her side, the Queen kissed her on both cheeks. The Duke of Connrught and the others of the family followed, receiving a similar token of affection on bended knee. In several cases the recipient was kissed several times.

The green housce suffered territly.

The damage to this character of property, measured in money, will bevery large. After the storm had csased there was a stampede of glass dealers for the telegraph offices.

At midnight no fatalities were authoritatively reported. Three per- sons were reported killed shortly after the storm was over, but they proved to be alive, although serious- ly injured.
