BERLIN. September 1.-(Copyright
1888. New York Associated Press. 1.-THE
testamentary notes of the late Kaiser
William, the abstracts of which Lave
just been made public by the
present Emperor, although of
merely historic value. have been
scanned with deepest interest as reveal :
ing the light in which he desired to be
viewed by posterity. Each was written
at critical point in his career, and all
were permeated with the deep piety
which characterized his public dis
patches.
In the fret, written shortly before he
| was made regent, after quoting
a passage from the scripture, he saws:
When this writing fails into The
hands of my friends, l shall have de-
| parted this life. May 1t be vouehsafed
to me In my last moments, to com.
mend my spirit into the hands of God.
Should sudden death overtake me, nv
whole life has been preparation for
the world to come"
The second note, written after the
war with Austria commences: "Since, in
1857, l wrote to my surviving friends
my last farewell, fate has deeply af-
fected my life"
1t contains a touching allusion to the
death of his brother and expresses his
heartfelt thanks to the people of Prus-
STA for the sentiments displayed toward
him. In it he prsys that God will
allow his successors to preserve to
Prussia the position plainly assigned
her by Providence. The note con-
cludes: May God. in His grace, will it
So"
The third note commences 1870 II,
with the words: God was with
US; to Him be praise, honor
and glory" A memorable pas
sage runs: eff ever the finger OF
God was clearly manifested in history.
1t was in the years of 1856 and 1870 II "
The fourth document conjures the
brief vision of events which marked
each year, loving references to the
kindness and magnanimity of his peo-
pie. Both end with the prayer: Lord
Thy will be done on earth as il is in
heaven. Amen"
The last, referring to Nibling's at
tempt to assassinate MIN, says: my
bodily srItfsrings are small IN comparl.
son with the grief that son of Prussia
should have perpetrated deed which
will be doubly hard to bear until the
close of my life, and which will cast
gloom over my heart and spirits for the
remainder of my days"
With meek submission to God, he
perceiYes IN it the design TO prove him
before appearing at the great Judgment
seat. He offers the Warmest thanks to
his consort, family and the people, for
the sympathy which they mad given
him.
GENERAL NOTES.
The appointment of Herr Won Ben
nigson to the governorship of Hanover
has deeply annoyed tbs ultra -Conser-
vatiVe party and pleased the Liberals,
who are hopeful that il IS the first sep
to place in the Cabinet.
At the last election in the sixth dis
trict in Berlin, Herr Hazenclever re-
ceived 10000 votes, but there was no
anti-Semetic Candidate. The Socialists
therefore consider that Herr Teeb-
kneckt's election proves that al
though there is numerical
decrease of 1000 votes, there is no
actual decrease, but rather slight in
crease. only half of the electors having
voted.

WALES AND WILLIAM.
Several Berlin papers and Berlin cor
respondents OF Austrian journals are
making ill-natured remarks about
the Prince of Wales. The Vienna

formed by German ambassadors and
Berlin inspirations, published story
of an alleged misunderstanding between
the Emperor William and the Prince of
Wales. The latter is reported to have
declared that it was the late Emperor
Frederick's intention to restore the
Duke OF cumberland to the kingdom of
