[Signedl BAYARD
NEW YORK, June 15.-oswald Often
dorfer, of the Staats-Zeitung, today ex-
pressed himself thus: The death of En-
peror Frederick will have very little
Influence in European affairs. His death
has been expected for considerable time,
and he has been on the brink of the grave
ever since he assembled the throne. His
reign has been a short one. The situation
viii not be changed. The dead emperor,
/ think, was even more popular with the
masses than Emperor William. There
was no comparison to be made between
the two. The old emperor during his life
time did many great deeds and for these
the people revered him, their love
amounting to almost veneration. The
young emperor, William, rumor says,
favors d warlike policy. I cannot say
whether this is true or not, but | don't
look for any great change in German
affairs. | think that Bismarck will take
the first opportunity to show the world
that the young emperor has no warlike
inclinations.
The flags of the city hall and depart
ments We're not placed at half mast today
when the news Of the demises of Emperor
Frederick was received. Mayor Hewitt
said he did not feel justified in ordering
them up.
