A special train, officially requisitioned, was kept under steam at Victoria Station last night in readiness to convey Ministers to Osborne, should their attendance bo required. PUBLIC SYMPATHY. Yesterday there were early Indications in London of the great anxiety as to tho Queen's condition.

When tho graTcr news from Osborno had got abroad people began to flock to the neigh bourhood of Buckingham Palace to wait for official bulletins. Their paticnoo was not rewarded till after noon, for tho Court officials declined at first to post the news. Thus, np to midday, the only bulletin on view was that timed 5 30 on Sunday afternoon. Then caxno the first bulletin of the day recording that her Majesty had had sleep and that her strength showed no further diminu tion. Copies of this message were posted at various points about Buckingham' Palace, St.

James's Palace, and tho boundaries of tho Marl borough liouso grounds. The public pressed to all these points to read the news, and the keenest sorrow at its character was manifested. Alter this only a comparatively brief interval elapsed before mora official news came to hand, and to some extent relief was given to the tension of public feeling by the announcement that the slight improvement in her Majesty condition recorded in the former bulletin was maintained. From an early hour until evening had fallen a constant stream of carriages conveyed sympathetic visitors to the Palace to sign the book. Pago after pago was filled with signatures, and all sorts of telegraphic, telephonic, written, and verbal Inquiries were addressed to the officials.

In a leaser degree the samo order of things prevailed at Marlborough House. As on tbe previous day, tho Mansion house was besieged yesterday with anxious and urgent Inquiries, not only from ail parts of London, but from provincial mayors and provosts in Scotland as to her Majesty's condition, and the Lord Mayor's staif was kept busily engaged in replying to these requests. Copies of the Osborno bulletins, promptly sent to tho Lord Mayor by the Home. Secretary, were at onco posted outsido the Mansion house, where they were read by hundreds of passers by, who received with grateful relief the announcement that an improvement in tho Queen's state was observable and was being main tamed. At public meetings of every kind throughout the kingdom expression was given to tho anxiety and sympathy which her Majesty's condition has excited.

LONDON. At the conclusion of the business in the Justice Room cf the Mansion house at 1 30 yesterday, afternoon ths LOKD Ma TOR said Before the Court rises I think it only right that I should do what I can to alleviate the anxiety which, in common with all her Majestyi loyal and devoted subjects, we feel in connexion with the grave state of her health. It haj concerned not only her own people, but the peoples cf all the world. We have for the last 13 hours been awaiting with the greatest possible anxiety the grave uews which has been com municated try ine doctors in attendance upon ner. mere fore I think I should take this opportunity of informing cry fellow citizens that we tad the good fortune to receive from Osborne this Doming a more favourable bulletin of her Majesty's condition of health.

Tbe Lord Mayor then read the bulletin which came from Osborne st 11 clock yesterday morning. Sts Jotnca Pitch. Dresidinr st a special meeting of the committee of the Charity Organization Society held at the Boyil United Service Institution yesterday, said that they met under the shadow of an lmrwndicE national bereavement. It would hare been congenial to the feelings of many if the consideration of business could have been postponed, but tbe fact that so many earnest workers in the came cf charity had come together for the purpose of taking part in the discussion of a most Important social muter the Poor Law schools indicated that they ought cot to separata without giving attention to the holiness before them. The day was one which would be psinf uHy memorable in the history of England, and there was no reuon why it should not be sssocisted with ths earnest eflortl of those who were akinr to ameliorate ths condition of the poor, in whom the Queen had sways taken a moat sfiectlonate interest.

He was sure that the fullest ejection and good will of all those present would go forth to those who were surrounding the bedside st Osborne, and they all hoped that even yet there might be a restoration to health and usefulness of the most honoured Soverelcn in the world. Mr. KsJTJtST Uaa V. M.P.. wesidins st a meetine In the Institute of Marine Engineers, Stratford, last rening, said that, meeting as they were under the shadow of great dread, he was sure the audience, who took keen sa interest in the Queen's Nsvy, would Join with Mm nVrayer to the Almighty that the life of the Royal Idy who bad occupied the Throne of this country for so many years with so much dignity might be spared, but If it pleased the Divine will to take herswsy, the country aright bear the berwvement with thai fortitude she had shown through ail ths sorrows that had falleo to ber lot.

Cratiti Since the ersve condition of the Queen's health became known on Saturday morning, the utmost anxiety has prevailed throughout ths district. Tho latest bulletins are being posted at East lialmoral and tho post oCico. The Queen has been of course a most prominent figure in the district during the many years she has resided at Balmoral, and ber sympathy and help have been unfailing. The news of ber serious illness therefore has come as great shock to every one. Among all claases there is the most profound sympathy and the greatest anxiety.

Edinburgh. srious functions which were to have taken place in Edinburgh this week have been postponed on account of the Queen's illness. At the inflrmai con Uiouiors meeting yesieroay me Lora rrovoet made sympathetic reference to the Queen's health and expressed the hope, that she might yet recover. The meeting cf the Franou Scottish Society was held yesterday in the Edinburgh University Court Room. Ixird Kelvin presided, ztelore proceeding witn tbe business, he said that there was one subject which was in all their hearts.

They felt deeply ss to the condition of the Queen's health. Deep sympathy was also felt by their friends in France on this occasion. A year ago there might have been some doubt as to ti.e nUtnU cordiale between the people of France and this country. He did not think the members of the Franco Scottish Society shared uat idea, but any one bad believed teat ranee was not cordial their doubts must have boun dispelled by the references that had been made to this country within the last few days.

DUBLIN. Our Dublin Correspondent tele morn that the critical state of the Queen's health continues to be cause cf intense anxiety in Dublin. Tbe special editions of the newspapers containing the oCcial bulletins commanded an enormous sale there yesterday. The discouraging reports which reached Dublin in the early afternoon produced a profound feeling of depression, which was, however, partly diss! pa ted by tbe more hopeful telegrams which were received after 6 o'clock. A rumour to the effect that the worst had happened gained some prevalence about noon, ana causea extreme consternation In certain official circles.

In the Law Courts, where the nunnnr chiefly circulated, several of the Judges discussed the advisability ol sojourning uieir respective Courts, but decided to await the official confirmation, which, happily, was not forthcoming. At the meeting of the Dublin Chamber of Commerce yesterdsy, the president, on behalf of the council, gave pubiio expression to their sincere sorrow at her Majesty's serious condition and their sympathy with her family circle in their hour ot trial. PARLIAMENTARY ARRANGEMENTS. (TROW OCX rABTJiMKNTAKT OORK.D5r"OXDEn.) The serious character of the bulletins concerning the Qnecn's health puts the authorities at Westminster "Into a predicament for, earnestly as they may hope for better news, they are compelled to bo prepared for every emergency, and they cannot overlook the' fact' that should her Majesty's illness prove fatal Parliament would have to be called together forthwith tore swear members and to pass a resolution ot condolence with tho Royal family and congratulation upon the accession to tbe Throne of. tbe new Monarch.

upon which Parliament required to meet without summons In the usual form. By the 6 Anne, 7, Parliament, If sitting on the demise of the Crown, is immediately to proceed to act and if separated by adjournment or prorogation. Is im mediately to meet and sit. Before the passing of this statute Parliament met on abunday.Marcho, 1701. on tho death of William and it has since met three times, on similar occasions, on Sundays (on the accession of Queen Anne, uoorgo and Goorgo Amongst constitu tional lawyers there is a feeling that, in bringing members to St.

Stephen's on the Sabbath, the authorities were, perhaps, placing too literal a meaning on tho word immediately nevertheless, 21 hours is now generally admitted to be a reasonable limit to the period of legislative inaction, and, starting from this basis, it Is obvious that thero must bo some laying ot plans beforehand when a crisis is believed to bo impending. Tho Speaker of tbo IIouso of Commons, realizing tho possibilities of the present situation, came to town yesterday from Seaford, his place of abode in tho recess, to confer with tho Government, It is, of course, hoped that no occasion will arise for altering tho arrangement already made whereby Parliament should reassemble on' tho 11th prox. bnt upon emergency the two Houses can now bo called together at a few hours' notice, it having been decided that as there is no obligation upon the authorities to issuo an official summons, an ordinary newspaper paragraph bearing tho tmprtmnf ur of tho I irat Lord of the Treasury will meet tho exigencies of tho case. In 1700, when George II. died between 7 and 8 In tho morning of October 25, Parliament met at 2 p.m.

on tbe following day. In 1820, when Georgo III. died between 8 and 0 p.m. on January Parliament met at 2 p.m. on the following day.

In 1S30, when Georgo IV. died between 3 and 4 o'clock in tho morning of Juno 20, Parliament met at 2 o'clock tho same day. In 1837 Wiliam IV. died between 2 and 3 a jn. on June 20, Parliament met at 1 p.m.

tho samo day. In 1700 and ls 0 no business was transacted on tho opening day, tho Lord Steward not coming to administer tho oaths, and it not appearing that any person or persons had been deputed by him to administer the said oaths but in 1830 and 1837 the process of swearing in began without delay. Should it, unfortunately, lw necessary for Parliament to sit before February 11 threo days might bo expected to suffice for urgency requirements. Before tho Revolution of a Parliament was dissolved by the demiso of tho Crown but by tho 7 and 8 ill. c.

15, and by tho 6 Acne, c. 37, a Parliament was determined six months after tho demiso of the Crown, and so tho law continued until, Ly tho Reform Act of 1807, it was provided that the Parliament in being, at any future demio of tho Crown, shall not be determined by such demise, but shall continue as long as it would havo othorwiso continued unless dissolved by tho Crown. Although tho Speaker is in London and the Houses of Parliament can bo made ready for occupation at very short notice, many peers and Commoners aro at present abroad, as are Mr. Milman, tho Clerk, and Mr. Jenkin son, tho Clerk Assistant of tho Lower Chamber.

Mr. Nicholson, tho Second Clerk Assistant, is however, within call, so that no hitch can occur, whatever happens. Mr. Balfour, Instead of pro ceeding to bcotland as he had arranged, remains at Downing etroet, whero he arrived from Taplow shortly after noon yesterday and if an emergency meeting of the Privy Council becomes noceasary ho will bo prepared to start for Osborno at any moment. It is understood that special trains and steamers aro lieing kept in readiness for any development.

It may bo recalled. that upon the Queen's accession in 1837 tho Privy Council met at Kensington Palace at II a.m. two, hours before tho assembling of Parliament tho proclamation signed thereat being read at tho accustomed places at 10 a.m. on tho following day. ENGAGEMENTS POSTPONED.

Sir, The official mind does not seem to have gauged the intense anxiety of her Maj'esty's subjects to know her condition from time to time. Early on Sunday morning I went to the South Western posUofioe, where telegrams from the seat of war were occasionally exhibited, but could gather no information. To day, Monday, at 10 o'clock, the bulletin posted outside Buckingham Palace was the one signed at 5 the night before.

At 12 o'clock on Monday no later news could be ascertained at Marlborough House. Feeling sure from your issue of Monday morning that much later informa tion was obtainable, I walked down as far as the Carlton Club, where I was allowed to read the telegram posted the hall. Surely a little more consideration and alertness might have been expected on so momentous ah occasion. A COMMON CITIZEN. St.

MARINE ENGINEERS. Col.

J. M. Denny, M.P., delivered hi presidential address at the Institution of Marine Engineers, Stratford, Bight. Mr. E.

Orey, presided st the meeting. CoL Denny, in the course of his address, strongly ex pressed a hope that the claims of Royal Naval engineers ould be recognised by the Government. There was jealousy la the executive of the engineering branch of service. Engineers were Jacked down upon to a very extent, and Admiralty oQeials appeared unable to grasp the fact of what all important men engineers wre board a modern battleship. It was a sad fact that at present moment our ships of wsr were ouch under manned ia their engineering department, and the supply of naval engineers was not adequate to the demand.

Ths Admiralty appeared to be determined that no account whatever should naval engineers lave sxecutive rank. This was not merely a sentimental evance. Wherever one man had control over another or a set of men, the title of rack given hixa stamped him in the eyes of his subordinates as a man gifted with power, and the engineer oflcer desired to have the power of impressing his personality and sathority on his subordinates, the only appeal against his decision being to ice captain, lie objected to a close association of officers beinz used for the purpose of keeiiinx down a man in the same service with themselves. Tbe social position of the navjljeucineer had vastly improved from old days, and, given the Lance, they would improve still more. Ia time of war the executive would it their best under the light of day, but another set of men down below would equally do their duty shut cp Lite rats in a hole, every nerve kept on strain, and knowing that if the least thing happened to the machinery they woold be lost, and knowing that at any moment a torpedo, shell, or ram might cause them death without thealightest chance of saving thenuelves.

Vet these were the men to whom were grudged rank, psy, and recognition, a representative of whose profession as designers did not sit on the Board of Admiralty, for he was foisted oS Tin tne title oi resr sdmirai. great was the dearth candidates that there were enrineerini students from Key ham College going into the Navy alongside of pro bationary engineers from on board cargo tramps or from workshops. Jealousies were raised aod would continue through long years of service because the British Admiralty could not see its way to be reasonable and to recognize, as the American Government did, the necessity forgiving theengineering class the Halm of the executive stall. The. engineering branch should be kept as a separate establishment, with the concession of what they aiked oy ngnt.

Aiinougn ne migct be au years ot sec a second lieutenant alongside nim bad more recog nition from the Government. Why should an engineer be required to work lor less psy man ctcer trained men for example, doctors and paymasters The training ot an engineer was ss nam, or nanler. it took an engineer 11 years to get tid. a day less than a surseon of 21 years of sge when he entered the Navy.

Engineers made a modest reraest. and their grievances were well founded. The claim of engine room artificers for an extra 6d. a day proportionate increase in pension was one that snd should be satisfied. Steps are to be taken to complete the establishments of 'the following new infantry battalions, so ss to render them effective as soon after April 1 as possible, in con sequence of the demand made for reinforcements for South Africa namely, 3rd Batt.

Such is the present condition ot recruiting that it is hoped many of these corps may be available service battalions by the close of the financial year, whilst others, it is believed will have their ranks full, or nearly so, in time for the summer drills, the strength of the Army thus being increased by 15 battalions.

RAXirrsTsrui ast tiiz Throwtsii Qcestios. K. S. RanjitsiahH, in a statement to a correspondent at Cambridge on the queation of throwing, said his pinion was tnat people made far more out ol this mattsr throwing than was necessary. No useful Duroose would be served by over legislating in the matter and bv uing oxasuc meaaures, as uie captains naa aone.

aiore over, tne captains naa no ngnt, in his opinion, to assume the power they had taken upon themselves to bar people from bowling. The M.C.C. was the proper body to legislate upon cricket. There was only one man who could know when a bowler was throwing or not. and that was the bowler himself.

When throwing, a man used tne elbow as well as tte shouldur and the wrist ia propelling the ball, whereas he would only use the shoulder and the wrist in bowling proper. In his opinion, the additional use of the elbow in propelling the ball constituted the throw. When a man was no bailed for throwing, the public came to the conclusion not merely that in the umpires' opinion the man's action was not a bowl, but that the bowler had done something mean with the object of getting tho other side out unfairly. In other words, they thought he had tried to take an unfair or unsportaiuaniiko advantage by deliberately throwing. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

They were trying to fathom his motives, snd, of course, it was impossible lor anybody to do tnat. Last season ha had asked several of his brother captains if Mr. Fry threw. They had replied No." Mr. Fry had asked several of them hhnseif and had got a favourable reply.

It seemed strange, if the account was true, that they should have, unanimously voted against him. As he himself did not consider that Mr. Fry threw, he should certainly bowl him if he thought it was to the interest ot his side to put him on. He was not a party to that agreement, and his club had never empowered him to be a party to it. He did not think that Moid threw, and he quite agreed with Mr.

A. N. Hornby's views expressed some time sgo respecting Mold's delivery. BILLIARDS. The annual competition for the amateur chamDionshlD of the Billiard Association was begun yesterday at the uaiety saioon, auano.

They amounted only to 336 against 352 ia 159i. The number of working women sent into the country was, however, much larger in 1900 than in 1S93.

This was due to the large balance in ths treasurer's hsnda at the beginning ot the year. The object of the society is to send for a short holiday to the seaside or into the country hardworking and deserving women who require rest and change, but who cannot uuwm meet ue expenses wnicb a holiday entails. Each applicant is, however, expected to contribute, according to her means, towards her own expenses. Representatives are appointed in various districts to find out uxw require rest ana cnange. In almost all cases the arrangements made for the women have been most satisfactory, and there have been very few complaints of say kind either from the women or shout then.

Among those sent away have been several soldiers' wives, who have been very grateful for the change. Ia this connexion it ia interesting to note that during the early part of the year a postal order for 1 was received from a soldier, who did not give his name, direct from FJands laagte. Tbe great want ot the society is a fixed income from regular subscriptions, sad the committee hope that bv degrees such an income may be provided. They are also much in need of additional hones and lodgings at seaside places, not too distant from Tondrm, sad they will be grateful for any Information sa to suitable places. Additional local secretaries are also required, and the committee will be glad to receive the names of any who would be willing to act in this capacity.

Snbscrintions. however small, will be most gratefully received by Mr. A. g. DmnieJJ, hon.

LONDON, Jas. 21. An ordinary meeting of the Convocation oi the Cai Tersity wss held yesterdsy afternoon ia the new buildings, South Kensington, Sir Edward Busk, Chairman of Convocation, la the chair. Dr. Walmieley, in moving the adoption ot the report by the standing committee, said the most important though not the most apparently striking changes were those in the constitution of the University.

The board of directors, so to speak, had been remodelled. The Convocation had new duties and new privileges involving a greater measure of ome rule than was granted by the original charter. The new powers were contained la the Act of Parliament and the statutes framed under that Act. The first privilege was that, of electing ths Chancellcjr great privilege. (Hear, hear.) The standing committee had framed rules for the exercise of that privilege: hut they hoped the day would be far off whsa tney abouia icee ue services ci ixira nam oar ley.

They Lad also the power of making new standing orders and arranging procedure for that purpose. Convocation had also some measure of il criticiao though not of administration. He moved that the report be received.

Tbe motion was seconded and carried. Dr. Walnualey next moved that the standing orders as now revised and submitted by the standing committee be adopted as the standing orders of Convocation, These orders dealt mith tbe aummocs of Convocation, the formation of the house and order of business, rules of dabaU. election of Chancellor, election and appointment cf members of the Senate, standing committee.
