Germany's AiliDg Prince.


BERLIN March 3.--The imperial family has
ceased to hope for the recovery of the Crown
Prince. The first results of the microscopic
examln atiou oy Professor Waidenier as com
municated TO the Emperor, are unfavorable, dis
closing traces of cancer in the pus arising from
necrosis of the cartilage of the larynx. The
full Official report of Professor Waldemier
will be delayed until Dr. Recklinhausen
makes an analysis. Dr. Ziemmsen will prob
ably also be requested to examine the pus
Apart from the results Of the examination, court
dispatches confirm the progress of symptoms
tending towards fatal issue The occasional
appearances of improvements Is followed by re-
newal of the gravest indications. Thus, on
Thursday. the Crown Prince seemed stronger
and in brighter spirits but during the follow
ing night there access of darrhoea,
with slight fever. The newspaper reports from
San Reno conflict While the National Zeit-
ung says the patient is sleeping well, that his
spirits and appetite better, and that he holds
himself erect. the Borsen Courier and Nord-
deutsche Zeitung the same day report that
he had bad night The decrease In his strength
has caused saddening change in his aspect
and has transformed him from ro-
bust into an aged and debilitated man who is
obviously suffering. The conflict of reports
does not weaken the fact. based upon absolute
Information. that in the highest official quarter,
every hope has been abandoned of his recovery.
No Immediate crisis is expected but it is recog-
nized that a sudden change for the worse may
occur at any moment involving his death, II
the disease should be permitted to run it's
full course. The Crown Prince may be
able to return to Berlin in May, and pass
ais last days mere. Inc question or the period
of his return will be the only subject having
remotest political bearing that will be discussed
during Prince Wilham's presence at San Reno,
and the decision arrived at will depend upon
the psrsonal inclination OF the Grown Prince
and Princess, combined with the advice of the
physicians. Since his family have recognized
that fatal Issue is most probable, the Crown
Prince himself has expressed an ardent desire
to return to Berlin possible He has
stated his intention to the Emperor. who, coin

encourage confidence that he will be able to
return to Berlin. IL he is fated to die suddenly
at San Reno, he has everything ready. he has
written his will and prepared political state
ment for his successor. The presence of Prince
William at the villa has cheered his mother and
the princeeses.
Comments adverse to Prince William continue
to be heard in Berlin society. Significance is
attached to the fact that none OF the family met
him at San Reno station, where he arrived from
Genoa in company with Prince Henry, his
brother, and Professor Bergman. He
ceived by the project, the Mayor and the Ger
man consul. This arrangement was due to the
Grown Prince. who sent Instructions to Primes
William, at Carlsruhe, that Prince Henry, with
Dr. Bergman, would meet him. the obvious OBJ
ject being to enable him to gain full
knowledge of the condition Of his father
before seeing his mother and sisters. The Grown
Princess with the princesses, awaited him
within the villa. It 10 understood that he
ceived the warmest welcome and that many
tears were shed during the interview. Twenty
minutes after his arrival the Crown Princess
alone accompanied him to meet his father.
During yesterday and to-day Prince William
has been with the Grown Prince on the balcony,
and there was every appearance of cordiality
between father and son. The reports of GOODNESS
in their relations are chiefly tracsable to French
sources The French papers vie with each 9TH
er in malicious inventions. During the journey
from Carlsruhe, Prince William obtained a
number of French papers and was excited to
anger by the stories 10 them of his selfish ntsn-
tons toward the Crown Prince. and his callous
disregard of his fathers suferiugs.
Throughout Germany the public interest in
the news from San Reno grows in intensity
The people Of Berlin await dispatches with the
same eagerness and agitation as would be
shown If a campaign involving the fate OF the
nation were In progress. Extra editions are
printed and the papers excitedly read and
discussed by the groups on the streets The
strong feeling of sympathy for the German
physicians shown by the people il being daily
increased by the suppression of the full official
news and by reports from creeitabls sources of
quarrels between Drs. Mackenzie and Berg
mann over the treatment of the Crown Princes
disease The tone of several OF the German
papers increases the puohc irritauon; Inc
Magdcburg Zeitung declares that the German
people owe nothing to DR.. Mackenzie, and that
the fact that the Grown Princes afs is still pre-
served is solely owing to Drs. Bramann, Berg
mann and Schrader. The National Zeitung pre-
diets imminent crisis unless the Bergman
treatment. with the of the German tube, is
definitely adopted. These opinions general
ly accepted. combined with views affirming the
maintenance of DIR. Mackenzie's hold on the
Grown Prince and Grown Princess. and add
ing to the lasting unpoDuarity of the Crown
Princess Hence arise rumors that the Crown
Princess and her daughters will go to reside in
England after the death of the Crown Prince
During the week Prince Bismarck had long
conferences with Emperor William, it is sup
posed with reference to the proposal to rant
Prince William power to sign documents the
event OF the temporary incapacity of the EN-
peror, concurrent with the prostration OF the
Crown Prince. The Crown Prince differs with
Prime Bismarck on the question OF regency of
this character. 1t is reported that the Emperor
accedes 70 the proposal. admitting the force of
Prince Bismarck's plea that the simultaneous ILL
ness of himself and the Crown Prince might cre-
ate confusion in the management of public af-
fairs. The Emperor is careful to show himself
every dav, either driving out or appearing at the
window of the palace. This helps to calm the
general perturbation.
