RESULTS OF THE POST MoRTEM.
The Larynx Completely Destroyed by
the Cancer.

the Cancer.
BERLIN, June T.-The post mortem ex-
animation was confined to the dissection of
the neck, larynx and lungs In the larynx,
which was found to have been destroyed to
suppuration, was "a cavity about tho size of
clenched fist. DIR. Mackenzie states
in the report which he prepared at the
command Of Emperor William that the
disc is0 was beyond doubt cancer of the
larynx. He adds that the diagnosis was
rendered very difficult, as the disease at
tackled the cartilage of the larynx at the
outside, and afterwards developed chiefly
in the lower part of the cartilage.
THE CONDITION OF THE LARYNx.
The National Zeitung says that autopsy
proved that the larynx was completely de-
stroyed by cancer, and that putrid bron-
chitis existed. There was also inflammation
of the finer ramihcations of the
bronchial tubes, into which putres-
cent particles had entered. The whole lar
ynx was in a state of suppuration and pre-
sented a soft, lumpy mass, with scarcely
any trace of cartilagtnous structure re-
manning. There was nothing to show the
existence of a perforation of the walls sepa-
rating the trachea and oesophagus. The
choking sensation from which
the emperor suffered during the lastl days
of his life, which was attributed TO such
perforation appears to have been really due
to a collapse of the larynx and owing TO the
destruction of the carthage. The direct
cause Of death is given as paralysis of the
lungs. The post mortem examination
occupied ole hour.
DEATH FROM CANCER.
DR. Mackenzie in his report on Emperor
Frederick's IS case says: I'm my opinion the
disease from which the emperor died was
cancer. The morbid process probably COM
menced in the deepest tissues of the car
tilaginous structures of the larynx, and
they became affected at a very early date.
Tho small growth which was present when
| first examined it, was removed by me by
several operations, and all the portions re-
moved was submitted to Prof. Virchow.
He were unable to discover any
evidence of the existence of cancer.
The examinations made in the be-
ginning of March by Prof. Waldeyn
led to the belief that cancer was then pres
ent. Whether the disease was originally
cancerous, or assumed malignant charac-
ter some months after its first appearance,
1t is impossible to state. The fact that peri
chondritio and carysis Of the cartilages
played an active and important part in the
development of the disease doubtless largely
contributed to make it impossible to form a
decided opinion as to its nature till quite
recent date"
To DR.. Mackenzies report DIR. Howell
adds the following: "In so far as my OBJ
servations since last August permit me to
form an opinion, | concur entirely in DR..

Seals Very Fond OF Salmon.
Ft.onl Me PortLand Ore1onInn.


The baby seal recently added 10 the free
menagerie on Morrison street, has seemed
content 10 bask in the sun, eat the salmon
given 1t and whine for more. Saturday.
however, it seemed to wake up to the ex-
igencies of life, and concluded it had to hus-
tie, so 1t rolled into the tank and started to
catch one OF the fish, and the way tho pair
went around the tank was caution TO oil
observers. The seal weighs only ten pounds,
but IL eats four pounds Of salmon per day
and looks around for more. From this a
slight idea may be formed OF the amount Of
salmon consumed by the thousands of seal
and hundreds Of sea lions which haunt the
mouth of tue Columbia, and II would seem
that while the legislature and the United
States government are eDdeavoring to keep
up the supply of salmon In the Columbia by
means Of a hatchery, they might help the
matter by takiLg some steps TO exterminate
the seal and sea Lions.

PHILADELPHIA, June IA The new
presidential candidate Of the Philadelphia
Press, Mayor Edwin Highhyer Filter of
Philadelphia, is queer Dick.
The great blizzard which struck Phila-
delphia last March covered tho pavements
with ice, and they became absolutely
dangerous for pedestrians. Mr.. Filter
started to his office one morning regardless
OF his peril. A citizen met him just after
he started, and expressed his surprise that
Mr.. Filter should take such a risk. Are
you not going TO ride to your Office this
morning Mr. Mayors" anxiously inquired
the citizen. mo" replied the mayor. 81
shall walk to-day" But just think. The
should fall and break your leg what would
become of the Kcity of Philadelphiap II
shall ride, replied the mayor.
While Mr. Filter was sojourning at At
lantic City last summer Mr.. Berry Wall Of
New York appeared. The gorgeous raj
ment of the young Gothamite attracted the
attention of the women. Prior to Mr.
Wallis arrival Mr.. Filter had been the
shrine at which the fair Phila lelphians had
worshipped, and very properly. He there
fore resented Mr.. Wallis presumption in
Lutcc WoIuSs 10 nov Ste why Juo Eaulch
of Philadelphia should admire Mr.. Wallis
clothing. l myself have suit of clothes
for every day in the year, and pair OF sus-
penders to go with each suit"
An important meeting was held In the
public buildings, at which several Of the
municipal officers were present. Tho latter
gentlemen exhibited considerable haste 10
finish the business in hand. Mr. Filter re-
buked them. He intimatod how he had
acquired great wealth in making rope, and
wound up something like this: "My house
Is the best furnished in PhilaAelphia.
Everybody that calls says so. Why, a dis
tinguished gentleman who had Travelled
extensively In Europe told mo the other day
that he never saw better in his life. and
they have some pretty good furniture in
Europe
Mr. Filter is really great man. He is
the friend of justice, since he has made all
the rope that has hanged Pennsylvania
murderers for many years He can carry
his native state, and he will bring to the
support Of the ticket he leads the enthusi-
astic aid of 1900 Philadelphia policemen
and himself.

eloquent and beautiful in diction, able in
augmentation, and easy and graceful in
delivery showing the responsibility OF the

plainly that he who runs may read. The
attendance was so large that few except
ladies could got seats in the halls, many mon
having either TO leave or stand wherever

his fathers, ''and his works do follow him. !"
1t Is a matter Of sad regret that Savan-

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE weather
crop bulletin, issued by the signal office,
says: Generally through the United States
the weather during the past week has been
most favorable of the seasop for the grow
ing crops. While all crops have improved
in Nebraska the conditions up to date have
not been most favorable for the
corn crop. More rain in portions OF
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky
and New Jersey would doubtless
improve the crops Of small grains, grass
and fruit. The weather has been favorable
for harvesting in Kansas, Arkansas and
Tennessee, and the conditions are favorable
for a heavy wheat yield in Smoky Hill val
lev of Kansas and in Tennessee. The
weather has been especially favorable for
the growth of the cotton plant throughout
the entire cotton region.
