STRICKEN GERMANY.
Mourning Over the Death of Unscr Fritz
Where tho Emperor Died.

Mourning Over tie Dehth OF thscr HFIS'
Where tho Emperor Died.
LONDON, June l5.-The hush OF death
is on Germany's capital. Tie people
are quiet and subdued, and the streets
are silent. Berlin thinks and speaks OF
nothing to-day but the mournful tiding
which this sad morning brought to the
waiting hearts OF her people.
The National grief moves all Germany
because beloved Unser Fritz isno more.
He occupied in the hearts OF his people
the same respectful place that was given
his father, the old Emperor.
The peculiar love OF the Germans,
however, will hardly transfer itself to
the Kaiser, who now Hscends the throne
OF the Empire. In place OF the gentle,
complaCent, though firm bearing OF
Frederick, the new Emperor is naughty,
overbearing and proud. He may inspire
his people with awe and wonder, but he
can never experience the tender love
that was his fathers and grandiathcr's.
The patience and endurance of En-
pCrOr Frederick was wonderful. \ ply
sician who was intimately connected
with the staff of attendants ut Char
lottcnbuTg, said to-day that it was a mys-
tcry, even to his doctors, how he held
out so long in the face OF such adverse
circumstances, and that the world would
never know the actual suilerings that
the brave man experienced.
Castle Friedrchskron, where Kaiser
Frederick ended his fight with this
dread disease, was his iavorite summer
residence. II is, perhaps, the most beau
tiiul OF all the Prussian royal palaces.
1t was erected in great magnitiCencc by
Frederick the Great, and with its eX-
Quisite gardens and park was delight
ful place in which to live quietly, away
from the noise OF the capital. The room
where the Kaiser died is on the first
floor and is large and light. 1t is fur
nished and decorated in the finest taste.
The walls are covered with crimson
damask and gold lace, and white and
gold is the predominating character OF
the painting of the room. On one side
long window, reaching to the floor,
leads out on Il terrace, while opposite, n
door enters the study, out OF the win
dows OF which u view is obtained across
the garden and down the principal ave-
nue. OF Potsdam.
The doctors consulting room is near
the bedroom, and the physicians quar-
ters are all in the same wing that con.
tiaued the sick chamber. In this mag
nifcence, the Kaiser, stretched on a
plain brass bed, within few feet oi the
room in which he was born, looked for
the last time upon earthly scenes.

mar. born February 10, 1868; Sophia
Dorotha Ulrica Alice, born January IA,
1870, and Margaret BeatriX Feodora,
born April %, 1872. ,
The first acquaintance OF Frederick
with Empress Victoria dates back to the
year 1851, when the Crown Prince, then
young man OF 90 was visiting the
London Worlds Fair. He was iascinat--
ed by the youthful graces OF Victoria and
compared her TO one OF the saints in
painting by Titan. Much was done by
the families OF both the young people to
strengthen their kindred feeling, and the
seeds thus sown were allowed to spring
up during the prolonged military ser
vice OF the Crown Prince in Potsdam
and Breslau. In 1886 he, with the con,
sent OF his parents, went to England and
requested the hand of the Princess IN
marriage, which was granted, with the
proviso that she should not be told until
She had grown older. But the impe:.
tuosity of the youth overrOde this, and
in true romantic style the Prince offered
himself to her during u walk across the
Towering heather Of u Scotch hillside
The wedding was put oil until the
Princess had attained her 18th year,
The Princess is one Of the most gifted OF
the English royal family, and was early
trained in political measures by the
Prince Consort, who allowed her to read
much of his diplomatic correspondence.
Her dislike OF bismarck and her unpop-
ularity with the English-hating Ger
mans have been much commented on
since her husbands accession to the
throne.

The News in London.

LONDON, June l5.-Much sorrow is ex-
pressed at the death of the Emperor OF
Germany, who was very popular in this
city. Flags are flying at half mast and
the blinds OF many houses are lowered.
Numerous messages OF coincidence have
been sent TO the Prussian royal family.
Immediately upon receipt OF the intelli-
gence OF the Emperor's death, Queen
Victoria telegraphed message OF sym
pathy and sorrow to Empress Victoria.
The Prince OF Wales has returned from
Ascot Heath, where he was attending
the races, and he will probably start for
Berlin tonight.
Mr.. W. II. Smith, leader OF the Gov
ernment, announced this afternoon in
House OF Commons the death OF the
Emperor Frederick. He said that he
would move that an address on Monday
expressing the deep sorrow OF the Eng
lish nation for the calamity which has
overtaken the royal family and people
OF Germany.
The Pail MaH Ga:eite says: Emperor
William, by his devotion to duty, untir-
ing industry and firm grasp OF q great
idea showed how King could live.
Emperor Frederick has shown the
world how a King can die. No charaC-
tiers in history stand higher. Neither
grasped vile good in the present nor
vainly lamented the darkness OF the
future, but earnestly executed whatever
was possible to accomplish in his time.
The flags on the American and other
legations are at halfmast in consequence
OF the death OF Emperor Frederick. The
bells OF Westminster Abbey were tolled
this afternoon.
When the news Of the EmperQr's
death was received at the Germany en-
bassy the blinds were drawn.
Mr.. Gladstone and scores OF other
prominent persons called at the German
embassy and left their cards.
In the House OF Lords this afternoon,
Lord Salisbury announced the death of
the Emperor. He said; at is needless
to say how deeply we grievG over the
loss OF one so Justly valued here and in
Germany. The Queen has lost a SON
in-law and Germany most enlightened
ruler. 1t will be your Lordships, desire
to put on formal record the sympathy
you feel for the afflicted relative and for
the nation whose loss we deplore. ! will,
therefore, on Monday move an address
to the Queen and another to the Dow
ager Empress Victoria"

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Dun & Co.'s Weekly Report oil the Condition
of Business.

Dun " CO.'S hCcKly report OH do oSohul1lui
of Business.
New York, June l5.-R. &. Dun 4
Co. S review OF trade for the weckending
Saturday, June 10, has this:
The moderate improvement in trade
noticed week ago does not yet seem to
be more than the slight reaction which
occasionally breaks n period OF uncer-
tainty and comparative inactivity. The
signs OF lasting improvement in trade
do not yet appear. Uncertainty still
prevails and buyers are conservative,
Coniining their transactions to immedi-
ate wants in most branches OF business.
In some, moreover, the cold and wet
spring has so far Curtailed trade that re-
tailers are carrying over stocks larger
than usual. There is uncertainty about
the tariff and its effect upon many
branches OF manufacture, about the
crops and the foreign demand for export
able products, about transportation rates
in the near future, and about financial
prospects.
Crop prospects have not changed for
the worse, but the extent OF the loss in q
winter wheat is more definitely realized,
while the prospects rs to spring wheat
and other crops are necessarily vague
With favorable weather the general re-
suits would probably be fair and in some
quarters decidedly hopeful feeling
begins to prevail. Want OF confidence
in the future is the prevailing tone in
all the markets. This cannot be attri-
bHted to financial influences, for money
is overabundant, and quoted Mt per
cent here Notwithstanding the renewal
OF gold exports. The treasury has raised
its prices paid for bonds taking large
amount OF the day, but the only consid
cradle offers since have been S2.OOO,OOC
at an eighth above its new limit fol
iours and a like amount three.eighth'
above the limit for 4ls. There is grow
ing impression that bonds will not bt
forthcoming at acceptable figures as il
becomes important for the treasury tC
make large disbursements.
The iron trade maniiests no improve
ment, though the sales Of 3a,0 600 tons oI
steel rails are reported for $50 at the
mill and the allotment is sdid to be dis
regarded by some Eastern makers
Southern pig is quoted at Sl7 for No. J.
but the quality is not in all cases found
satisfactory. Bar iron is weaker with
81 70 to 81 so quoted for large lots oi
best refined.
In the dry goods business there is {
lack OF actibility and yet in cotton good
a more confident feeling with prin
clothes higher at 3s7 and low grades o
bleached goods very firm. WOolens art
still dull with very good transactions fol
mems goods, and wool is quoted lowe
at Chicago.

that a probable contingency. We must
have man who will be Of some weight

be a personal campaign, such us we

we, Of Maryland, come here with n

Retain Its Military Department.
Special Dipdtch to The Iaielligemcr.
MoKGANTowN, W. Va, June l5.-
President Turner, in an interview with
the INTELLrGENcER's correspondent to-
day, said that there was no danger of
the University losing its Military pro-
fcssorship. The population of West
Virginia is sufficient to always have IN
officer detailed to her Agricultural Col
lege. Last year when Il special request
was made the War Department to grant
Lieut.. J. l.. Wilson an extension Of
time, Secretary Endicott readily granted
the request and sent list OF States
always entitled TO detail, and West
Virginia was not conspicuous by its ab-
sence. Major Farnsworth, OF the
United States Inspecting Office, was
here Commencement day and inspected
the corps. He was here in 1887, and in
his report to the Department at WASH
ington, made one OF the most favorable
reports OF nil college corps, President
Turner does not believe there is any
foundation for the report, as the assur-
ances Of the War Department last year
do not wariantit.
