That Emperor William Is rapidly
sinking and that those nearest to bis
bedside have but little hope of his
recovery may be inferred from the
latest kilograms from Berlin, which
express the fear that the return of bis
illness may prove fatal, owing to bis
great age. Kaiser William has been
at the head of Prussian affairs twen-
ty-six years, and of German affairs
thirteen, and as such he has been
connected with the greatest politica
changes known to modern history.
Hence the demise Of Emperor Will
liam would naturally create q deep
commotion and, owing to his person.
al popularity, a still deeper regret.
But whether his death would have
any material effect upon the admin
istration of the empire is a question
to be considered in the light of facts
and history.
Crown Prince Frederick William
has often been described as a man OF
liberal ideas and progressive spirit,
dissatisfied with the absolute tell
denotes of the present government of
Germany. But it should be remem-
apparent TO any throne, nor Is there
one now, to whom the same tendency
was not, or is not, ascribed. With
what fond hopes did the better class
of Russians look to the advent of
Grand Duke Alexander's rule. With
what certainty did they calculate
upon a more moderate administra-
ton. Were their expectations rea-
