charged with emitting an autopsy IN order that he
might prevent final authoritative report as 10 the
true malady from which the Emperor died. Besides,
the doctors who conducted the autopsy, Count Won
stolbergw ernig gerode, Court Chamberlain, remained
during the examination, which proved the existence
of cancer Or. Mackenzles friends state that he con-

His deep and open admiration for Prince Bismarck
is considered likely to bind him for some time to the
Cbancellor's policy, but within his own circle his
character as a resolute somewhat selfwtlled
and ambitious man produces the belief
that despite his friendship and devotion to Bismarck,

impetus to Germany's foreign policy His military
arior which was forciby expressed in his address 10

trary temperament. For time he will be ready TO

that advice responds with his inclnations he VIII

thoroughly infused with the Bismarck policy but Is
submissive to the Chancellors guidance This defer
