LATEST FROM COWS.
At Exnetiy 6.30 &Clock the Good Queen
Gave Up Mortal Life.
Cowes, Isle of Wight, Jan. e3,—
Queen Victoria is dead and Edward
VII. reigns. The greatest event ia
the memory of this generation, the
most stupendous change in existing
conditions, that could possibly be
imagined, has taken place quietly,
almost gently, upon the anniversary
of the death of Queen Victoria's
father, the Duke of Kent.
The oral of this career, never equal-
led by any woman in the wee -lens
history, came in a simply -furnished
room in Osborne Rouse. This most
respected of all women, living or
dead, lay in a great four -posted bed,
a shrunken atom whose aged face
and agure were a great Contrast to
the fair girl who in 1887 began to
rule o -ver England.
Scene 13 the Death chamber.
Around her were gathered almost
every descendant of her line. Well
within view a her dyirig eyes there
hung a portrait of the Prince Con-
sort,. ,It was he who designed the
room a.nd every part of the castle.
In scarcely audible words the
white-haired Bishop of Winchester
Prayed beside her as he had often
Prayed with his sovereign, for he was
her chaplain at Windsor. 'With bowed
heads the imperious ruler of the
German Empire and the man who is
new Whig of .England, the womati
who has succeeded to the title of
Queen. the Prbaces and Princesses,
and those of lees than royal closig,,,
nation, listened to the bishop's
easeloss prayer.

Sobbed faintly. and the Inert shuffled
uneasily.
At exactly 6.30 Sir James Reid

the room knew that England had
lost her Queen,
The bishoe Pronounced the benedice
tion.
The Passing Was pestootd.
The Queen passed Way quite
peacefully. She suffered no pain.
Those wbo 'were now mourners went
to their rooms.
A few minutes later the inevitable
element of materialism stepped ioto
that pathetie chapter of interim -
item' nietory, for the ecent Janice
went busily te worle ordering their
tnottrning trent London.

in the kitchen they were cOehing a
huge dinner for an assemblage the
like of whielt has seldom been 1ZIOWn
in England, and the dinner prepara-
tions proceeded just as if nothing
had happened.

The body of Queen. Victoria was
embalmed last night, and will prob-
ably be taken to Windsor Saturday,
The coffin arrived last evening from
London.

Igo/4(1*r afteratooa io slied that
her little Pomeranian be brought to
liter bedside. It was feared that the
Queen was dying about 0 in the
morning, and carriages were sent to
Osborne Cottage and the rectory to
bring all the princes anti priaceeses
and the Bishop of Winchester to ner
bedside. It seemed. then very near
the eud. but when tbings looked the
worst, the Queen bad one of the ral-

tion. opened her eyes and recognize

sec one or her faithful servants, a
zueirnber of the household. lie haste
ened to the room, but before he got
there the Queen had passed into a
fitful sleep.
Pour o'clock marked the beginning
of tbe end. Again the family were
suramoued, and this time the relapse
was not followed by recovery.
neCords of the Last nays.
Tbe records of the la.st days of t
reign of QUM Victoria is not easy
to tell. The representative of tite
Associated Press was the ouly cor-
respondent admitted to Osborne
House. and his interview with Sir
Arthur John Bigge, private secre-
tary to the late Queen, was the only
official statement that has been given
out.
For several weeks the Queeu had
been failing. On nnonday week she
summoned Lord Roberts and emend
Ian some very searching questions
regarding the ever in. South Africa.
On. Tuesday she went for a drive,
but was visibly affected.
On Wednesday she suffered a, para-
lytic stroke, acconepanied by intense
physical weakness. It was ,her first
illness in all her 81. years-, end she
would not admit it. Then her condi-
tion grow so serious that, onetime
her wishes, the family were sum-
moned. IViten they arrived her rea-
son had practically succumbed to
paralysis and Weakness.
Tito Announcement or Death.
The events of the last few clays de-
scribed in the bulletins are too fresh
to need repetition. At the lodge gates
the watchers waited nervously-. Suci-
douly
along the drive from the house
came a. horsemo.n, who cried, "The
Queen is dead!" as he dashed
through the crowds.
Then down the.. road rushed a.
myriad Of messengers. passing the
fateful bulletin from one to another.
Soon the surrounding country knew
that a King ruled over Great Bri-
tain. The local inhabitants walked
as if in a dream through the streets
of Cowes, but they did hesitate to
stop to drink the heo.11.11 of the new
monarch.
