Conflicting stories from Ber,in-The Worst
Anticipnted.

LONDON, March 9-There was much OK
element in tho city Thursday over the CON
hirting reports from Berlin concerning thd
condition Of the German emperor. All day
long deuge of dispatches flooded the news
paper offices the exchanges and nows bu'
roluS, and the patriotic Gcrmaus could find
in their differing statements reason for either
iOy or sorrow Towards Afternoon. however,
the kilograms became ominous, and pointed
to hut one conclusion, and still later in tho
day came the news of Emperor Williams
death. The London papers announced the
death on their bulletins at b:l5 o'clock, and
then the excitement was intense. The news
offices were besieged and thronged and even
the morning papers all had enormous posters
displa yed conveying the sad intelligence 10 all.
At night, however, the meagreness of news
from Berlin, beyond the announcement of the
death, and the paucity of detail, caused vari-
Gus rumors many of which asserted that
there was no truth in the announcement Of
the emperors death This, however. could
not he learned, and the report was generally
accepted.
At IL o'clock Thursday night the queen re-
ceived "A telegram confirming the statement
that the emperor was still living, but uncon-
scious, at 0;l5, Berlin time
A morning paper says: Thursday evening
report was circulated on the authority of II
Reuter- news agency message from Berlin
that the emperor had died. Not until half
past O'Clock was a dispatch contradictng this
story received, but at Berlin it is certain that
the worst is now anticipated, and his excess
i've weakness is regarded as an ominous symp-
tom"
A Daily News dispatch from Berlin says:

Thursday struck out the words undue and

amendedwas then rejected and the committed
section adopted. The house passed the maxi
mum tariff bliss to 10. The negative
votes were cast by Buell., Clark, Cummins,
Curtis, Caster, Detz, Evans Hipwell, Kline,
Limback, Thompson and Lake The woman
suffrage bill was defeated-53 to 44-but there
is prospect that resolution to submit a

Oar hyPheusled and tariff mad contem-
porsry in discussing the question of pro-
lection which is generally supposed to
be one of eXpcdienny and economies
only, says in its issue OF yesterday:
Moderate protection Is rs much an NIB
surdity as moderate chastity, moderate
truthfulness, moderate honesty, or moder-
ate sanity. Clearly q thing is either
projected or not protected, Just as "A
woman is either chastc or unChase, or
as man is either truthful or false, hons
est or dishonest, sane or insane"
ii the concern across the way is not
careful or if some measured are not
taken to restrain it, it will soon convince
itself that protection is not purely a
question of political eNpediency rs most
persons have been taught to believe, but
is II matter of mOrals--that it must be
guarded and defended like woman's honor
and mans tiuth--and that any revision
of the tariff would be an otfense against
morals, if not a crime against God and
man, instead OF n question purely of econ
omc7. II tested by the above prepOs
ferrous extract the declarations of Presi
dents Garfield and Arthur, the recon-
mendations of three successive republi-
can secretaries of the treasury the report
of the tariff commission of 1882, and the

| 1871 caused him to take refuge in England. When
| the mind of his brother gave way in 1918 he was
made regent, and being elected to the constitu-
tlonal assembly took his seat and subse-
Quently made commander in chief of the PrlSsian
army which subdued the revolution in Baden.
In 1861 he succeeded to the crown of Prussia,
his brother dying without issue. He sue
succeed in subdung the feeling of revolution eX-
listing in Germany and by foreign wars detracted
attention from home affairs. Much against his
inclination he embarked on still more ambitious
scheme and prepared to obtain supremacy in Ger
many by force of arms. Early in 1866 the scheme
was ripe for execution. A treaty of alliance was
concluded with Italy, ultimatum sent to Aus
tria, and an immense army set in motion. War
declared, and in a campaign of but few
weeks that power was completely defeated and
compelled to make humatng treaty In 1867
King William became the head of the North Ger
man confederation comprising twenty-five states.
The Franco Prussian war resulted in the defeat
France and complete realization of Bismarck 3
scheme, and on January IL, 1871, King William of
Prussia was proclaimed emperor Of Germany.
The meeting of the emperors of Germany, Russia,
and Austria took place at Berlin in the autumn of
1872 In October, of that year, Emperor William
gave a decision adverse TO England the San
Juan boundary question, submitted to his arbitra
ton by the British and and American govern
