In fact loca'lv the announcement of her death Is awnlted with something approaching equanimity. Never in the m-mory of her sub- jeets haa the .juvn been 111 before, and now that at her advanced age she haa been stricken It seems to these woo bave lived around her that It is impos- slble for her to recover. The official bulletin describing the queen's ailment may be acepteJ as merely an evasion of fads. Information chtained by the H-uter Telegram Com- pany to the eff -ct that It is paraly-is from which the queen is suffering Is based upon thf high-st isible author- ity. By Monday it is likely that the truth will be announced to the nation, The extreme weakness of her majesty appears to be at present the chi?f raue of anxiety. Stimulants are being free ly administered. In the opinion of those best Quali fied to Judge, the quvn's ,res.'nt ser ious condition was precipitated by in tense worry over the losses and hard ships suffered by the British troops in South Africa. Frequently she has remarked to the court attaches that another war would klil hor.

A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: The queen was not in her usual health when she left Windsor and she has not derived as much benefit from I her residence In the balmy air of Os borne as was hoped. Her appetite had fallen off before she left Windsor and she has grown thin and haggard. To family bereavements and sorrows, with the Increasing burden of years, were added anxieties resisting the campaign in South Africa, over which she had been brooding. It 1ms been evident that the war, with Its heavy j mortality, was causing her great dis tress, for otherwise s'he would not have summoned Lord Roberts to Osborne for a prolonged consultation so soon after seeing him on his arrival. The royal family, without a doubt, have been ser iously concerned for several months, but everything has b?en done to spare the queen's subjects unnecessary anx iety. Her physician is constantly with her and she Is surrounded with mem bers of the royal family. The Indisposition of the queen Is the leading- topic In the local papers. The official announcement that her maj esty's health Is not satisfactory Is re garded as of grave significance and public anxiety will not be diminished by the intimation that the alleged Eng lish sovereign has. been advised by her doctors to transact no business for the present and to remain In doors. Some provisions for signing- documents and performance of other necessary du- M" muat obvl'iualy be made. But not even the Prince of Wab-a can act for the 'iijeen without authority of parlla- rie-nt.
