Shielded From View as She Was Moved From the Train In London. LONDON, Feb. 19.—Queen Victoria ar- rived 1n London this afternoon. She had requested that the strictest privacy be ob- served in her reception, and at the Vic- toria station she was kept in seclusion so absolute that empty trains were aligned along the platform so that persons on the other platforms could not see her alight. The reason for this extraordinary privacy is that the rheumatism in her joints has so increased that the queen is unable to walk. She was assisted from the car down an inclined plane to the platform, where she was placed in a chair and carried to her :arriage. Her dislike of public observation was further evidenced by the fact that a dc— tachment of the Life Guards completely surrounded the carriage as it was driven to Buckingham palace. In spite of all this the queen was heartily cheered as she left the station and along the route. Stock Agent Frozen to Death. BUTTE.
