Cowes, Isle of Wight (By Cable).—
Another day in the Victorian Era, now
so rapidly drawing to a close, passed
without any great change in the condi-
tion of Queen Victoria. The slight im-
provement so frequently mentioned in
the official bulletins merely indicates a
postponement of the inevitable. The
end may be a matter of days or only of
hours; but the members of the royal
family, who are now dragging out a
weary visit at Osborne House, know
that the death of Her Majesty is mere-
ly a question of a short time.
