SINKING DUE TO PARALYSIS. Physicians Compelled to Resort to Artificial Methods. COWES, Isle of Wight, Jan. a, 12:15 A. Mi A collapse, or what the physicians feared was such, occurred unexpectedly about 10 o'clock last evening. Arrange ments were hurriedly made to provide spe cial telephonic and telegraphic facilities. Details are not obtainable at this hour, but It is asserted that the Queen's con dition is chiefly due to a severe sinking spell and an Increase of the paraljtlc symptoms. It Is understood that the physicians have resorted tq artificial methods' to prolong life, such as are used tonly n cases of persons In extremes. The paralysis Is chiefly evident in the face, one side of which appears to have lost all nerve and muscular power. At 6 o'clock last evening the malady had not reachea the vital organs, although it had naturally caused a loss of power of speech. What was so much feared was that the brain might be attacked. Keenly 'sensitive to her affliction and ap pearance, the Queen has absolutely re fused to see anyone but her nurses and doctors, and it Is understood that the Prince of Wales is the only exception to this rule, and that his Interview with the Queen lasted but a few moments. Hence, tho exact nature of the malady Is known only to a very few, and It Is the royal wish that the public should not be In formed of the existence of paralysis. Arrangements have been made with a local undertaker to have all the prelim inaries to burial ready In case of an emergency. Scenes at Palace Grounds. During the afternoon the long hilly road to the palace grounds was crowded with people, particularly young men and Tcomen -arrayed In their Sunday garb, dot ting the landscape with vivid patches of color. Ine local gentry, after church services, wrote their names in the visitors' booh. a.the lodge which contains no sig nature that would mean anything to the world outside of the Isle of Wight. Inquiries of Importance all came by telegram, and these were legion. Hun dreds of people, ofall sorts and condi tions, clergymen "predominating-, flooded Cowes with teletrrahA, asking for the' latest newsi A swarm of people, among them correspondents from all quarters of the globe, made their way toward the lodge gates. Their Inquiries generally took the form of a timid "How Is she?" addressed to the policeman who barred all comers, and" an Inquirer who had been1 answered would be Immediately surround ed by others less bold "who sought the news. j When night fell tbe country became de serted, except for the newspaper writers, whjy. waited wearily In .the lodge.

AT OSBORNE HOUSE. Pathetic Scenes Wltnenxed Wales Departs Agalngt His Will. COWES, Isle of Wight, Jan. 21.-12:30 A. M. So far as the Queen's immediate safety Is concerned, her extreme weak ness causes almost more alarm than the paralysis. Much difficulty has been ex perienced in administering nourishment, for she appears quite unable to masticate. To this weakness are probably due the long spells of unconsciousness through which she has been passing, although It is almost Impossible to distinguish these from the insidious encroachments of pa ralysis. Formore than a week, the court attend ants have had hard work to prevent her from sleeping at the wrong time.

Then -followed carriages containing- the Princess of Wales, the Prin cess of Battenburg, Princess Louise and others, all-dressed In the deepest blacks The face of the Princess of Wales showed signs of the anxiety she was -undergoing. .The annual memorial service for Prince Henry, talways a sad, occasion, was more than usuallytsorrowfuVfor theshadow of a-"still greater bereavement was upper most 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 praye that did not shake with a grief which' could not be suppressed. The departure of the Prince of Wales for London, shortly after 2 o'clock, to meet Emperor William, was rquletly ac complished. The Queen had been informed of. the Kaiser's coming, and had signi fied her desire that the Prince should go to meet Jiim. Rather dgalnst his will," the man who for the moment was practically the King of England, obeyed his moth er's wishes. It was rumored that the Queen wanted the Emperor to postopen, his visit to Osborne House, as she did not wish to receive him In her present condition. ' Apparently, in her lucid mo ments she believed that she would be able to conquer the dread disease which had fastened" upon her. QUEEN VICTORIA'S LIFE. Personal and Regal Character of the - Revered Monarch. The 24th day of May, 1819, was a bright day at Kingston. In the palace there a Princess was born. The Spring flowers were peeping" up in the gardens- and along the" country ,, hedges of England. As to human, conditions, the Insane George III, conspicuous promoter of American lib erty, had yet eight months to, live. Ed ward, Duke of Kentr father of the Prin cess, had eight months less one day be fore his summons should come. The Big Bonaparte at Longwood had nearly two years remaining1 before he must take his rest under the willows In Slane's Valley. The obese Louis XVHI was for the sec ond time getting his rickety throne In or der at Paris. Alexander I and Madame Krudener were enjoying the fourth year's fruits of the Holy Alliance. Goethe at Weimar was beginning the second part of "Faust," and Shelley at Rome was fin ishing "The Prometheus Unbound." Lord Byron, with Count Gamba and his daugh ter, was making his way from Ravenna to Pisa, In America, Jefferson and John Adams In their old age were seeking peace after a lifetime o. contention and were awaiting the final event. William E. Gladstone, Alfred Tennyson, Charles Dar win, Gioacchlno Pecci, Abraham Lincoln, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Edgar A. Poe and Jacob Ludwlg Mendelssohn were all lads of 10 that year. In Europe the revolu tionary storm which, had prevailed for 20 years had sunk to- the dead calm of apathy, and In the United States James Monroe was beginning the third year of his first administration as President Her Early Girlhood. They gave to the only daughter of the Duke.jfcKeBt.ithe .namaofexandrjna Victoria. At the first her prospects were not clearly foreseen, but they began to be revealed In her early girlhood. As soon as the royal horoscope was cast she was rescued from the purlieus of the British court and was placed under, the whole some authority of the Duchess of North umberland. By her mother first and by the Duchess 'afterward the education of the Princess was principally directed. To them the future Queen was ever indebted for the wholesome discipline of her youth. In her teens she remained under the care ful surveillance and motherly monition of the Duchess, whose influence in shap ing the principles and directing the con duct of her royal chargo cannot be over estimated. We pass over much, for the subject is great. There goes an admirable tradi QUEEN VICTORIA tion of tho way la which the Princess "was Initiated into a knowledge of her place and expectations. When the Uncle W1E lam was about to go, the Duchess of Northumberland though It best to break the news to the young- majesty In order that she might be apprised a little in advance of the imminent catastrophe of glory that awaited her. One evening In the Spring of 183T the Duchess said at tea: "Alexandxino, here is the blue book of the house of Han over, which you have not hitherto ex amined. Tho sickness of your Uncle Will lam will make it both interesting and necessary for you to Inform yourself as to the position which you occupy in your family. Take the book with you to your chamber and study It tonight." In the morning: when the Princess came down to breakfast she brought th blue book with her and laldi It by her plate, saying nothing. Nor was there manifest In her demeanor any change of manner or symptom of. excitement. The Duchess said: "Alexandrina, what did you find of Interest In the book last night?" The modest, young Majesty replied with no change of voice or features: "I did not know that I siood. so near- to the crown." Coronation, of the Young Queen. At the middle of the fourth decennlum of our century the Hanoverian dynasty was "rapidly sliding off sideways into ob livion. The large family of George III seemed to" be on the verge of extinction. All of the. sons, 'with the exception of William, were dead, and William had no eligible heir. As he came to the end of his course the succession, now attenu ated to a hypothesis, rested clearly on Victoria, daughter of Edward of Kent. When on the 20th of June, 1837. the final scene was reached and the King was dead. It only remained to acknowledge the Princess as Queen and have her crowned. The statesmen of the period, headed by the Duke of Wellington, tHen 68 years of age, ranged themselves around tha youthful Sovereign, and the day of her coronation was glorified with the en thusiasm of her subjects. This was now the prevailing question In Great Britain: "Can a girl of 18 reform and save the house of Hanover-Brunswick?" Certainly the dynasty was In a state requiring speedy salvation. It might well seem that the last sands of the royal line were running out. The five Kings who had reigned successively since the death of Anne Stuart in 1714 had seemingly done as much as they could to make the survival of their dynasty im possible. Each had wrought according to his nature. The first George had con tributed ignorance, the second absence and boar hunting, the third respectable 3tupldity and stubbornness, the fourth personal vice and William sterility to the common fund of destroying force History was working out her problem The fortunes of the Hanover Princes were rushing down. The scene was rapidly closing with scandal, ignominy and childlessness. In the midst of all this, Destiny sent the young daughter of tho Duke of Kent to see what she could do in the way of arresting the downsllde of tho dy nasty. Her principal business as woman and Queen was to trammel up the oqnse quences. Her late uncle, her other late uncle, her grandfather, her great-grandfather and his father haddone as much as mighJL.be. each in his kind, to cut oft the ohances cf their posterity! They Jiad built barricades against the perpetuity of their own kind and had made it well nigh Jmpossible .that either male sapMng or female blossom should appear In the bar ren fielrs of the hereafter fit to re-establish the houge of Hanover on. a more enduring and respectable basis. The per sonal and regal character of Victoria is to be Judged by her ability to arrest the moribund conditions of the dynasty and to replace It with another of her own, springing, as it were, from the little gar den of her own -virtues, but expanding into multiplicity and power. Hci Happy Mnrrlage. Certainly the task Imposed required the combination of her own character with (Concluded on Second- Page ) MCE FIYE GHSgp?S. 'PILES IS IfeL Hadto Delay Leaymgfor Beathbed Scene.

LONDON. Jan. a In the closing mo ments of Queen Victoria's life, another grave .portent arises, namely, the serious indisposition of the Princo of Wales. So worried, tired and exhausted was he last eening that he could not respond imme diately to the summons from Osborne House. The most he could do was to promise that he would leave London at 8 o'clock this morning, if possible. The Prince of Wales Is spending the night at Marlborough House, and Em peror William at Buckingham Palace. According to th Dally Telegraph, Em peror William, who has expressed a de sire to be received at Osborne House, not as Emperor, but as grandson, said on hearing of the Queen's Ijlness: "I am my grandmother's eldest grand son, and my mother Is unable from Ill ness to hasten to her bedside." It Is worthy of note that, even today, the London -papers do not mention, by even the most veiled allus'on, the fact that the Queen has had a paralytic stroke. Pages are devoted to the mourn ful scenes at Osborne House and to de scriptions of occurrences here, as well as to the telegrams from the colonies and foreign countries testifying to the sym pathy everywhere evoked. TUESDAY IN LONDON. One of Anxiety and Suspense Scene on Emperor YIlllnm'n Arrival. LONDON. Jan. a. Throughout the United Kingdom yesterday (Sunday) waS one 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 London newspapers had not learned that Her Majesty had suffered a shock of par alyse. Extra editions of the Sunday pi pers contained no information, but there were many official bulletins, and they were eagerly bought. There were small gatherings In tho vicinity of Buckingham Palace and Marl borough House, as well as other centers where" the bulletins were posted. Crowds assembled to witness the arrHal of Em peror William. Apart from such inci dents, however, the customary quiet of a London Sunday was not disturbed.
