PRINCE OF WALES MUCH AFFECTED.
HIS NEPHEW, THE KAISER, CONSOLES HIM.
AFTER A MUFFLED PEAL THE JOY BELLS RING.
Received January 24, 9 a.m. London, January 23. The Prince of Wales was muoh affected when the doctors intimated that his mother had gone. The scene at the deathbed was inexpressibly sad. The Eaiser, who was deeply aflaeted, administered comfort to the grief-strioken uncle. The Times states that tbe new King is endowed with the most lovable, attractive qualities of his great mother. He has a kind heart, quick appreciation, and genuine worth, and the nation will be happy in the confidence that the King will follow in his mother's footsteps, according at ence to the spirit and letter of the Constitution. Moreover, the King adds to perfect tact a wide knowledge of men, business virtues and methods. He is noted for prompt decision, punctuality, and has a great capacity for work. Received January 24, 9.5 a.m. London, January 28. After the announcement of the Queen's death all the city bells tolled, following the deep, strong, mournful note of the great muffled bell of St Paul's. The bells of St Martin's and Charing Cross were also muffled. Then the bells unmuffled, to welcome the King, and a joyous peal rang out.
