After the death of his fath er, In December, ISM, he naturally be came tho most desirable functionary at all ceremonies In which Wneflclent or chat liable undertakings wero to bo re cognized by royal approval. This work has over slnco occupied a largo share of his tlmo nnd has always been per formed with dignity, tact and patience. Indeed, no prince of any country has over personally oxortod himself more futthfully to render services of this sort to tho community. Tho multipli city and variety of his engagements on behalf of local nnd specinl enterprises make a surprising list, nnd necessarily Involved a sacrifice of ease nnd leisure which fow men of high lank would caro to mahe.

Ho danced at a ball given In his honor at Washington, whero ho was cordially welcomed by 1'resldont Duchanan. The United States, Indeed, was pro pared to receive him with open nrins.

His first stop on American soil was In Chicago. Thenco he passed on to St. Louis, Cincinnati, I'lttsburg. llaltl more and Washington. For live days ho was a guest of President liuehunaii. Ho visited Mt. Vernon and planted a chestnut tre by tho side of Witbhlng tnn' tomb. From the capital tho prince and his party set out for Richmond, then a center of political Intrigue and soon to prove tho focus of dlsuffoctlon against tho Union. His next halt was mudo at Philadel phia, whero ho visited Independence hall and other places famous in Anglo. American history. From Philadelphia ho took eall for New York, landing at Custlo Harden on October 11, Ho wns driven through llroadwoy to tho Fifth Avenuo hotel, escorted by tho mayor and other clvlo dignitaries, und cheered on his way by vast crowds of citizens who had gathered to do him honor, Ono featuro of tho hospitalities ten dercd him In Now Voik was u parade of the volunteer llio department, six thousand mon Htronff, eacli man In uni form und nil ave those at tho ropes and tillers, benrlng torches.

Tho question wan settled In the early part of 1SC3, when his engagement was announced to Princess Alexandra, tho eldest daughter of the King of Den innik. She was thtoe yeais younger than the Pi luce, and though compara tively poor, was beautiful and accom plished. Tho inarililgo was celebrated In St. Ouorge's chapel, Windsor castle, on Muich 10, Sfi:l. All Knglnnd lojolced over the event.

'I'ho Princess soon made her self very popular with nil classes ot tho IliitHi public, not only by her outward grace of manner, but also by her vir tues and amiability. Tho Pilnoo him self has always shared hi this popular ity, although tho sterner Puritanism of' his potential subjects has often been shocked hy stoilos of his dissipation.

It was largely through his received their entree into tlio inner oiioles of tho Hrltlsh aristocracy. Nevertheless, tho social nnd fashion able side of his life has been more of it duty than a pleasure to him.

Tho carriages wIMi the principals, seconds and a few friends arrived there from Paris shortly before It o'clock. Count De Lubemtc's seconds wero M. .Schego and Count De Laborde, and those of Daron Rothschild wero Huron Leonlno and Viscount Do Ilondy. The duel began at 11.

Iloth the count and tho baron fought most determinedly, neither flinching nnd neither showing the slightest de sk e to spuro tho other. Sixteen en gagements took place, all of a desper ate character. The combatants at tacked each other furiously. Ths sleoves of their shirts were literally toin U pieces by the points of tholr i-words, as tho duellists lepeatodly lunged at (itch other.

The bulletin Issued at midnight was too late to become known In London, -xeept to a voiy few. If when tho metropolis wakes, the queen is still living, her people must recognize that theic Is really no hope. This morning's newspapers have thrown off all pretense of uny possibil ity of recovery, nnd they tadly admit that the end may come at any mo munt. "While there Is life there Is hope," they say, and tho queen's con stitution Is marvolously strong, but It Is idlo to deny that the danger Is ex treme. Therefore the papers proceed to re view her mujosty's long and Illustri ous reign ns though she weie no more and to dilate upon the wonderful In fluence she wielded in Etiropestn politl iIcb for so many years. A bright spot In the tuilveisal gloom Is tho unexpected sympathy displayed by Emperor William In giving up Im portant engagements to come to tho deathbed of his grandmother. Tho Prince of Wales 13 spending the night nt. Marlborough house, and Em peror William nt Hticklngham Palace. London, Jan. 21. Throughout tho United Kingdom, yosteiday was a Sun d"iy of anxiety and suspense. No ono 111 England, outside the court, knew the teal condition of the queen or tho nature of her dlse.ise. The bulletins threw but little light on the uni vestal question whether death was Imminent. The London newspapers hud not learned that her majesty had suffered a shock of uaralysls. Extra editions of the Sunday papers contained no Information beyond tho nfllci.il bulletins, but there were many of them nnd they were eagerly bought. Thr wero small gatherings In the lclnlty of Buckingham Palace and Marlborough house, as well as other centies when tho bulletins were posted. Crowds assembled to witness tho ar rival of Emperor William. Apart from such Incident, however, tho cttstomnry qulety of a London Sunday wns not disturbed. Most Alarming Reports. The most alarming reports of the day came In the form of telegrams from tho princesses at Osborno house. Tho coming of Emperor William and the news that King Leopold was about starting for London Inspired fears that death was at hand. On tho other hand, the fact that tho Prince of Wales was able to leavo Osborno house had 'an encourugtnc effect. When the prluco arrived from Osborno nt Victoria sta tion, London, at 4 o'clock, with Sir Francis Knollys nttendlng, several hundred people wore there to greet him. But there was no demonstration beyond a respectful raising f hats. The Earl of Clnrondon und 'tho Earl of Pembrooke received tho prlnco. When they Inquired regarding the queen's condition, ho replied: "You see, they have let mo ootno away." The government had arranged to send the fast cruiser Minerva to bring Emperor William, but he embarked on a mall packet for England before ho learned of the .plans, being accom panied by the Duke ot Connaught. Tho steamer had a rough passage and on entering Sheerness harbor she went by the worships without any cere monies. Admiral Kennedy nnd Count Von Mil bach, of tho Cot-man embassy, received tho emperor and escorted him to a special waiting room. Two hours before his majesty's train was duo in London people began to gather about Charing Cross station. Tho crowd Included not only the usual hangers on, hut many fashionable peo ple and hundreds of Hermans anxious to seo tho empoior on his first nppeur auco in London for years, Tho throng beconio so largo that tho railroad au thorities riveted wooden barriers, nnd a hundred of the tallest pollco of tho metropolitan force with squads nf mounted men, lined up tho people on tlm streets, forming a luiu for two blocks to Nelson's monument In Trafalgar Square Through this lane moved a procession of royal carriages, each bearing two footmen In yellow liveries behind. Tho carriages entered tho railroad station and drew up near tho track. The Prince of Wales .ar rived Just before the train entered the station, which was 6.20 p. m.
