press, ACCOMPANIED by the Dowager Empress
Augusta and the Crown Prince ana Grand

The post mortem examination yesterday
was confined to the dissection of the neck.
larynx and lungs. In the larynx, which was
found destroyed by suppuration, was a cav
ity about the size of cleDched fist DR..
Mackenzie states, in the report prepared at
the command OF the Emperor William, that
the disease was beyond doubt cancer of the
larynx and adds that the diagnosis was rem
dered very difficult as the disease attacked
the cartilage of the larynx at the outset and
afterwards developed, chiefly in the lower
part Of the cartilage.
The National ,zeitung says the, autopsy
proved that the larynx was completely de-
stroyed by cancer, and that putrid bronchitis
existed. There was also Inflammation of
the finer ramifications of the bronchial tubes,
into which putrescent particles had entered.
Inc whole larynx was in state of suppura-
ton and presented SOFT. lumpy mass with
scarcely any trace of cartilaginous structure
remaining. There was nothing to show the
existence of perforation of the walls separ
ating the trachea and the esophagus The
checking sensation, from which the Emperor
suffered during the last days of his life,
which was attributed to such perforatiOn,
appears to have been really due to the col
lapse OF the larynx, owing to the destruction
OF the cartilage. The direct cause of death
is given as paralysis of the lungs. The post
mortem examination occupied an hour.
