ALBERT VICTOR DEAD.

HEIR TO THE BRITISH THRONE PASSES AWAY. Great Excitement Shown by All Classes— Sympathy Being Extended All Sources—Scenes at Sandringham—Cardinal Hanning Also Is No Hore. Death of a Dolce. His Royal Highness, Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence, and heir to the Brit- • ish throne, Is dead. His death was caused by congestion of the lungs, brought about by a severe cold contracted while hunting. The Duke of Clarence was a member of a party which was shooting over some eovers Situated a long distance from Sandringham Hall. At luncheon he complained of not feeling as well as usual, was seen to shiver, and said that he felt that he was taking cold, but after the meal he continued shooting. At the conclusion of the sport he walked home instead of driving with the rest of the party. That evening he dined with the assembled

company, but was obliged to retire early. On the following day efforts were made to dissuade him from joining the shooting party, but he insisted on doing so, saying that he felt equal to the exercise. After luncheon, however, he said that he felt compelled to return home and left the party, going on foot. The next morning he was unable to leave his bed, and continued growing rapidly worse until the seventh day, when death came to him. London and all England is wild with excitement, and business is entirely suspended. It is characteristio of the deep affection felt by the entire British people for the Princess of Wales that the most sincere and heartfelt expressions of sorrow are heard on every hand and a deep feeling of sympathy pervades every class of society from the highest to the lowest and every shade of political opinion from the Tory to the Radical. In the vicinity of Sandringham, where the Duke’s death occurred,, the excitement cannot be described.
