BER11S. June 1S.-Emperor William has

people. In it his majesty says:
"The grave has scarcely closed over
Emperor William l. before my father,
Frederick Ill, is called away. Emperor

to the king of all kings and pray Goo,
like my father, to be a just and lenient
prince; to foster piety and the fear or
God to guard the peace; to promote the
welfare of the land to be helper OF the
people and the distressed; to be the firm
guardian of right and to progress in my

THE EMPERoR's DISEASE.
BERLIN, June 18.-Doctor Mackenzie, in
his report on Emperor FIederick's case,
says:
at is my opinion the disease from
which the emperor died was cancer. The
morbid process probably commenced in
the deepest tissues OF the cartilaginous
structures of the larynx, and they became
affected at very early date. The small
growth which was present when l first
made examination WAS removed by me by
several operations, and all portions re-
moved we're submitted to professor Vir-
chow. He was unable to detect
any evidence of the existence of
cancer. 1he examination made
at the beginning of March by Pro-
fessor Waldenser led to the belief that the
tumor was originally cancerous or as
sumed a malis nant character ONE months
after its first appearance. The fact that
perichondritis carries of the cartilages
played an active and important part in
the development of the disease and doubt
less largely contributed to make it i'm
possible to form decided opinion as to
its nature till quite recently"
KALNoKY's VIEW.
VIENNA, June 18.-Count Kalnoky,
of foreign affairs, in a speech to
the Austrian delegation to day, said that
the change in the government at Berlin
was the most important event in recent
political history. The alliance between
Germsny and Austro-Hungary, he said,
has already proved strong and there is a
reasonable hope that it will survive the
second change in German rulers. Never
theless, in the absence of security regard
ing the European situation, it behooves
each country to rely upon itself and to
solidify its defenses in view of possible
occurrence of unforeseen events.
