THE KAISERS RECEPTION IN LONDON. GREAT RETICENCE AT OSBORNE.

Received Januaiy 22, 1 57 p.

Delayed in transmission. — London, January 21. — The Kaiser, on starting for ' England, remarked "I am the Queen's eldest grandson. My mother is unable through illness to hasten to the Queen's | bfldsipTe." | The Times' Berlin correspondent says the Kaiser's prompt decision created a profound improaeion. It is regarded as a fresh evidence of his intense personal devotion to the Queen. Ali Germans ttgrtfe that it is national, fitting, and right, inasmuch an filial duty is one of the traditions of palace and cottage. The London crowd greeted the Prince of Wales, the Dike of York, and tho Kaiser in silence hushed by respect. Received January 22. 2.5 a.m. London; January 21. — Great reticence is observed at Osborro regarding the character of the relapse. Insomnia is admittedly a great trouble, and drowsiness during tho day is an ominous sign. Her Majesty was sleeping at six in the evening, but the midnight bulletin deepened the public's misgivings. The Times says : — "No bulletin can convey the precise impression in the tttindf of skilled observers on the spot, ill our hopes and fears are based on very imperfect knowledge." The Chronicle states that the Rector of Whippingham was summoned at midlight. The Daily Mail says silent prayer at a number of churches and chapels was broken by half stifled sobs. The crowds in the streets and old friends are speechless, but make a strong effort to hope for the best.
