Cowes, Isle of Wight, Jan. 28.— Queen Victoria is dead aud Edward VII reigns. The greatest event io the memory of thio generation, the moot stupendous change in existing conditions that could possibly be imagined, has taken pls* e quietly, almost gently, upon the anniversary of the death of Queen Vic- Coria's father, the Duke of Kent. The end of thia carreer, never equalled bv in« woman io the world's history, came in a simply furnished room in the Oelrorne House. This most re spected of women, living or dead, lav in a great four posted tad and made a •hrunken atom whose aged (ace an I figure were a cruel mockery of the fair girl who, in 1687, began to rule over England. Around her wer> gathered almost every descendant of her line. Well within view of her dying eyee there hung a portrait of the Prince Gonaort. It was he who designed the room and every part of the castle. In scarcely audible words, the white haired Bishop of Winchester prayed lieeide her, as he had often prayed, for he was her chaplain at Windsor. With lowed heads the imperious ruler of the German empire and the man who is now king of England, the woman who has succeeded to the title of queen, the princes and princesses, aud those of less than royal designation, listened to the bishop's ceaseless pray ing. Six o’clock passed. The bishop conJ tinned hie intercession. One of the younger children asked a question in , shrill, childish treble, and was immed iately silenced. The women of thia royal family sobbed faintly, and the men shuffled uneasily. At exactly half past 6, Sir James Keid held up bis head, and the people then knew that England had lost her queen, The bishop pronounced the benediction, The queen passed away quite peacefully, She suffered no pain, The moat of the mourners went to their rooms. A few minutes later the inevitable element of mateiialism etep|«d into this pathetic chapter of international history, for 'the court ladies wont briskly to work ordering their mouru- ing from London. The wheels of the world were jarred when the announce ment came, hut in this palace at Os borne everything pursued the usual course. Down in the kitchen they were cooking a huge dinner for an as semblage, the like of which has seldom been kuown in England, aud the din ner preparations proceeded just as if nothing had happened. The tiody ol Queen Victoria was em balmed and will probably be taken to Windsor Saturday. The coffin arrived last evening from London. It was thought that the queen was dying about 9 o'clock in the evening, and carriages were sent to O borus cot tage and the rectory to bring all the princes and princesses and the bishop of Winchester to her bedside, It seeme 1 then very near the end. but when things Io ked the worst, the queen had one of the rallies due to her wonderful constitution, opened her eyes and recognised the preeeuce of Wales, the princesses and Emperor William. Four o'clock marked the beginning of the end. Again the family were summoned, and this time the relapse was not followed by recovery. The Prince of Wales was very much affected when the doctors at last in formed him that bis mother had breathed her last. Emperor William was also deeply affected, but did his best to minister comfort to lite sorrow- stricken uncle, whose new dignity he was the first to acknowledge. From all parts of the world there are still pouring into Cowes messages of condolence. They come from crowned heads, millionaires, trades- men snd paupers, aud are variously addressed to the Prince of Wales and the king of Englaud. Emperor William's arrangements are not settled. His yacht will arrive today, but it is believed he will not depart until after the funeral. * Attempt to Extort Money.
