THEIRS IS A DOUBLE GRIEF Princeaxes Leave the Dying Queen to Pay Tribute at Prince Henry' Grave, COWES, Isle of Wight, Jan. 20—Yester- day at Osborne, hedged around with intense secrecy, began with a touching scene. Amid the bright sunshine, in marked contrast to the gloomy skies of Saturday, there drove out from the palace grounds a car- riage containing wreaths for the tomb of Yrince Henry of Battenburg, in the little church at Whippingham, ten minutes ride from the royal residence. Then followed carriages containing the princess of Weles, the princess of Battenberg, Princess Loulse and others, all dressed in the deepest black. The face of the princess of Wales showed sings of the anxiety she was undergoing. The annual memoria! service for Prince Henry, always a sad occasion, was « more than usvally sorrowful occaslon, for the shadow of a still greater bereavement was uppermost in all minds. The princess of Wales and the princess of Battenburg sobbed bitterly and there was scarcely one of those royal heads bent in prayer that did not vhake with a grief that could not be suppressed The departure of the prince of Wales for London shortly after 12 o'clock to meet Bmperor Willlam was quietly accomplished The queen had been informed of the kals- er's coming and had signified her desire that the prince should go to meet hi. Rather against his will, the man, who, for the moment, was practically the king of England, obeyed his mother's wish. It was rumored that the queen wanted the em- peror to postpone his visit to Osborne house, as she did not wish to receive him in her present condition. Apparently in her lueld moments she belleved that she would be able to conquer the dread disease which had fastened itself upon her. In t Churchens.

LONDON, Jan, 20.—(New York World Ca blegram—Special Telegram.)—A World cor- respondent obtained the following narra- tive of Queen Victoria's illness from a source within court circles, from which his exclusive and now fully attested in- formation during the past weeks has been obtained manifested the first symptoms of serious decay during her stay at the court of Wind- sor, November and December, 1809, when the evil tidings of the South African war came in rapid succession. Buller, before lenving, had assured the queen his cam- paign would be “difMcult but not danger- ous,” %0 the news of reversion came upon her with added severity. She never forgave Buller, and when his name was submitted for his command to visit Windsor after his return she stroked it through with her pen. At this time the queen first had the fits of orying which in an aggravated form preceded hor present critical illness. The excitement over her Irish visit, which, despite everything stated to the contrary, was her own idea, seemed to revive her, but before her visit ended the reaction set in. Lives in n Dream. The public, however, was hoodwinked by the accounts of her alleged replies to ad- dresses and other evidences of mental ac- tivity, when in reality the queen lived as in a dream. For instance, she was re- ported to have made an animated reply to the address presented her at Mount Dublin, whereas, all she sald was the dazed inquirs: “Where am 17" Her spirits revived in her Highland home under the influence of Roberts achicvements, but the death of Prine Chrstian Victor, the hopeless reports con cerning the Empress Frederick and the prospect of an indefinite prolongation of tho war constituted a trial under which in November her health began to suffer. But still her spirit remained undaunted and when it was reported that Kruger sald the war would claim her as one of its victims the queen declared: 1 may die, but Mr. Kruger won't Kill me." December's foebleness rapidly increased. Sleepiess nights were passed in prayers The situation caused protound anxiety. During her entourage she lost appetite and began to shrivel away, pre- senting for the first time all the character- iatics of senile decay. It had always been a source of wonder to her physicians that had escaped an apoplectic stroke, but this falling away on the left side and the loss of power of her left arm and leg caused apprehension of approaching paraly sis. 8o alarming was her condition at the beginning of December that the royal tamily was precluded from going on the continent. The change to Osborne did not work the benefit anticipated, as the war news and the iliness of the Empress Freil erick became an obsession with the queen, who suffered with increasing frequency from depression and erying. She was'con- stantly referring to the death of the duke to of Saxe-Coburg and expressed a wish see the duchess, who accordingly w brought to Osborne, but at the first inter- view the duchess left the queen prostrated with grief, and the last drive she had was with the duchess as companion Tuesday last On her return in her carriage the queen was asleep, in which condition she was taken to bed, from which she did not afterward arise. Dr. Pagenstecher, who was attending Somerset for an eye injury, was summoned to Osborne, as the queen sufifered acutely from her eyes, owing to her constant crying. Pagenstecher made a general examination Wednesday, when he reported the queen had nothing organ- ically wrong, but was suffering only from nervous exhaustion Harps on the War, Still she harped on the war and Cham- berlain was commanded to go to Osborpe to console her. His efforts were fruitless. It Is sald the queen abruptly closed the audience, directing subsequently that Rob- erts be invited. Roberts' interview Tues- day was more prolonged, Then the queen went for the drive with the duchess of Coburg, already mentioned. A fortnight before Sir Francls Laking, without the knowledge of the publlc, was assisting Sir James Reld Osborge, and on Thursday Sir Douglas Powell, a famous heart and lung speciallst, was summoned, owing to two attacks of heart failure during Wednos- day night. The condition of the queen now assumed the gravest complexion. Still Wales, in order to prevent suspicion, went to the Roberts dinner and subsequently to the theater Thursday night. On Thursday the queen had a stroke of paralysis, since which she has been in a comatose or semi- comatose condition, occasionally asking: “Is the war over?" Today it was denied the queen had a stroke and it was reasserted that nothing was Wrong beyond her extreme nervous ex- haustio and debility. At a consultation at 11:156 tonight the state doctors agreed that forty-elght hours would probably decide the issue. Princess Beatrice has remained in & deeply afflicted condition, as was plainly observable at the ceremony at Whittingham church today. The prince of Wales only saw the queen ten minutes on his arrival Saturday and the same perlod before his departure for London to meet the kaiser. The queen seemed to recognize him, but Beatrico is the only member of the family, according to reports from the sick room, whom the queen plainly knew. The keiser arrived at Charing Cross with the duke of Connaught at 6:20 tonight. Wales and Kaiser Meet. The kaiser was dressed ulster, with a black derby hat. He was received by the prince of Wales in the royal salon, kissing him on both cheeks. There was an immeuse crowd outside the station and along the north side of Trafal- gar square. As the carriage drove by all heads were bared, but not a sound rose from the multitude. The silence was deeply impressive and testified to the universality of the feeling of grief at the imminent dissolution of the aged queen. The kalser is sald to have wept as he saluted the prince of Wales and a distressing scene occurred as he embraced the princess, who recelved him at the Marlborough house. The kaiser came on his own Initiative, as his mother was too il to undertake the journey. After dinner digquieting news was #ald to have been recefved by telephone from Cowes, as the German embassador 1:ft the Marlborough house hurriedly for the embassy, whence dispatches were im- mediately sent.

The heart beating with such feebleness is the Isle of Wight pulsates with the blood of the Plan- tagenets, the Tudors and the Stuarts. It is not strange that the Princess Vie- toria has had such a remarkable career. She inherited the strength of noble women who stand forth in striking contrast to the weak men who were among her ancestors. The wise and good Matilda, wife of Henry 1, united the Norman and Saxon races. Her daughter brought in the Plantagenets. The Tudor marriage with Elizabeth of York connected the Tudors and the Plantagenets, and Margaret, sister of Henry VIII, united by marriage the Tudors and the Stuarts Queen Victoria possesses all the strength of the Stuarts with none of their wenkness. Her father was the best of the dissolute sons of George 111 and to the careful train- Ing of her German mother should be attri- buted her admirable character and execu- tive ability. Edward, duke of Kent, father of Queen Victoria, was the despised son of George 11L. His father and brothers cared but lit- tle for him and he was glven such a beg- garly allowance that he did not marry till late in lite. and spent much of his time away from home. Being the fourth son, it was not thought necessary for him to marry. He remained single until he was 58 yoars old. Then Charlotte, the only daughter of George 1V, died; the second and third sons of George 111 were childless, and the duke of Kent and two of his younger brothers we urged to marry that the Stuarts might be perpetuated. Romant Marringe. The duke of Kent married Princess Vie- toria Maria Loulsa of Saxc-Coburg, sister of Prince Leopold and widow of Prince Leiningen. This was a romantic marriage. The duke had married the princess in Ger- many previously, but the ceremony was re- peated in England. It was well that this precaution was taken, for otherwise the future queen of England might have been deprived of the throne. The duchess of Kent was a beautiful woman of 30, the mother of two children, when Edward married ber. May 24, 1819, a daughter was born to this union and named Alexandria Victoria. Her German relatives nicknamed her “Mayflower,” and from the day of hor birth the idea prevailed in England that she would ofie day be made queen, A short time after Victoria's birth her father died. Instead of returning to Ger- many and spending the rest of her days with her friends and relatives the duchess of Kent remained at Kensington. She felt that her daughter would one day ascend the throne and refused to leave Englaud in spite of the fact that she was a stranger in a strange land and spoke English so badly that the was the laughing stock of her royal assoclates Daughters Kept from Court. The Princess Feodora, half sister to the future aueen, and Princess Victorla were brought up with great care by the duchess of Kent. She did not approve of the royster- ing crowd that made up fashionable so- clety in the London of those days and kept her daughters away from the court as much as possible. Feodora, who was sev- eral years older than Victoria, was mar- ried when quite young Little Vietoria uever liked the country and longed for lite in London No children were born to Willlam IV and Queen Adelalde. The king and queen wel- comed Victoria to the court and always epoke of her as the future ruler. June 20, 1837, Queen Adelaide wrote to the little princess and notified her of the death of the king. In replylng to the note Vietoria addressed the bereaved wife as Queen Ade- lalde.

The remainder of the money Is not appro- priated for amy wpecial purpose, During no year since the death of the priuce consort has the queen used up all of her allow- ance, with the exception of golden jubilee yoar, when she entertained in a lavish man- ner which recalled the days when the young queen ascended the throne.

An Englishwoman who has a personal ac- quaintance with the dying queen writes of her as follows “A dear old lady, who, were she the chatelaine of a country house or the school- mistress of a primitive village, would be admired and beloved by her noighbors in tho parigh for her wisdom and good works and by her friends and servants as & good mother and mistress.” EMPEROR JOSEPH DISTRESSED Austrian Monarch Breaks Up a ¥ and Asks Inc Bullet) Soverign.

The emperor, on receipt of a telegram from London, immediately broke up a circle which had formed after the banquet at the Hofburg.

It ‘is a consolation in this hour of national dis- tress to listen to the universal chorus of respectful esteem which her majesty's fil- ness has evoked abroad.

The love and ad- miration of her subjects are, unhappily, unavailing. Nothing will have so soothing an effect on the minds of the queen's sub- Jects as the arrival of Emperor Willlam." The Dally Telegram says: “A preclous and beloved existence hovers on the brink of the great mystery.
