BERLIN, March l3-I sent, or tried to send, yo'
yesterday an account of Emperor William lying In
state Of tho mob which besicgcd the Cathedral
for the most part vuinly-to witness the spectacle
and other interesting matters. This dspatch was
sent through the central Government oiiice IN
Berlin to Valcntia, thence by the Anglo American
cable To-day l hear tbcre Is some prospect OF
It's reaching Boston by this evening. whence it will
be sent to New York by train. The Anglo-Ameri-
can manager, though well aware that no message
could get through to York, does not seem to
have thought it worth while TO notify Berlin.
Certainly he did not notify me- though knowing
that meant to use the Anglo line Tho German
Government refuse TO receive messages by way OF
the Commercial cable, because the submarine cable
10 Vacnta is theirs. Explanations from the
Anglo o-American Company will be in Order but
experience indicates that tho company does not
set high value on the opinion of the press NO
notice appears even today that the line is blocked
Today's news from Charottcnburg is that the
Kaiser had good night, slept well, and appears
well this morning No harm came from the
Journey Yesterday experience has not been with
out effect upon the authorities The multitude
wishing TO see the body of Emperor William In
the Cathedral is longer allowed to resolve itself
into q mob. All the approaches are IN the hands
of the troops. Approach is permitted from Unter
den Linden. The bridges and heads OF streets arc
guarded. Small parties Of spectators are allowed
to pass each bridge, form in cue, and so arrive
at the Cathedral Had this simple, sensible scheme
been adopted on Monday, it would have averted
the disorder which occurred, and prevented some
serious accidents resulting from the great pressure
OF uncontrolled masses of people.
Snow has fallen itfully during the day Few
slcghs appear. driving everywhere being dlilcult
The clief streets are filed with pedestrians
Funeral decorations begin to be visible, those In
Untcr den Linden being the most remarkable for
beauty and costliness. The most remarkable thing
of all is the complete prcoocupation of the people,
who seem to think of nothing but the loss Of their
Emperor.
There are, however many tears Of JOY over the
arrival Of the new Emperor. The first time Tor
many weeks the people have hope that he may
recover. Crowds surround the Charlottenburg
Schoss all day. watching for sight of him. Once
or twice yesterday he appeared at window and
was greeted with loud cheers and cries.
The Emperor received at IL this morning a
dcputaton from the Berlin Town Council with
Lord Mayor Won ForckenbecS at the head. The
Empress was present. The Mayor presented an
address, but the Emperor was not allowed to speak
in reply The interview lasted fifteen minutes.
The Dowager Empress goes tonight to visit her
son. Prnssian custom forbds this She should
not leave before the funeral the palace where tho
Emperor died This nice custom courtesies to the
present circumstances.
The two proclamations published yesterday are
heartily approved by the general public The Up
position press joned with the official press In ap-
plause There are, however, many guesses respect
ing the real significance Of certain passages. 1t
has always been supposed that the present Kaiser
when he came to the throne would grant more
liberal constitution and enlarge, especially, Par
lamentary freedom and powers This proclama-
ton, while recognizing the rights Of Parliament,
embodies no explicit promise Nor is Prince Bis
marck supposed to be ready to consent to any In
novation such as the expulsion Of existing legis-
Iatve privileges
Prince Bismarck think Germans whom meet,
is not less powerful to-day than last week No
sign appears anywhere that his authority has
diminished Nobody believes that his influence
with the present Emperor is less than with the
late Emperor. The recognition by Frederick ll1
of Prince Bsmarcks services and position is say
those who ought to know, perfectly German
spontaneous declaration. The personal relations
cordial No radical change in tho German policy.
either foreign or domestic. is believed likely to
occur at present. The leading Opposition paper,
the Tagebatt," publishes this evening an elab-
crate article putting rather radical construction
on what the Emperor says Of Parliamentary rights,
but nowhere is any hostile view taken.
What the Emperor says Of religious equality is
hailed as announcing the end Of the Judenhentzc.
No Court favor will support Herr StOccker In any
future crusade.
The publication, at such an early date Of the
between Prince Bismarck and
Count kalnoky is here thought unusual and sig
nincant The exceeding cordiality of Count Kal
nolxys answer strikes Prussans not less re-
The whole incident is more proof
that the closeness Of the political and personal
relations between Austria and Germany is no way
affected by the Emperor's death. @. 8.
