BERLIN, June 1.-THE emperor and
empress, accompanied by the dowager
Empress Augusta and the grand duke
and grand duchess of Baden, and other
royalties, visited the Jasper gallery this
morning. While they were assembled
around the bier of the dead monarch
Chaplain Koegal offered a brief
prayer. Access to the gallery was
prohibited to the public un-
til the royal party had departed.
On account of the want of space it has
not been possible to accede to the re-
quest of provincial authorities for per-
mission to attend the funeral services
in the Friedrichskirche. The only
representatives of the Berlin authori-
ties will be the leading officials in the
ministries and committee of the chief
church council. The obsequies will be-
gin at 10 a. m.
The post mortem examination was con-
fined to dissection of the neck. larynx
and lungs. In the larynx, which was
found to have been destroyed by sup
puration, was a cavity about the size of
a cienched fist. DR.. Mackenzie states
in the report which he prepared
at the command Of Emperor Will
lam that the disease was beyond
doubt, cancer of the laryny. He adds
that the diagnosis was rendered very
difficult, as the disease attacked the
cartilage of the larynX at the outset, and
afterwards developed chiefly in the
lower part of the cartilage. The
National Zeitung says that the autopsy
proved that the larynX was

sensation from which the emperor suf-
fered during the last days of his life,
which was attributed to such perfora-
ton, appears to have been really due to
collapse of the larnyX owing to the de-
structiOn of the cartilage. The direct
cause of death is given as paraly-
sis of the lungs. The post

PARIS, June 17.-Most of the Paris
papers regard Emperor Williams orders
to the army as having warlike tone,
contrasting singularly with the rescriDts
OF Emperor Frederick. Some jour
nails, notably the Steele, which has
moderate article, view the emperor's
language as merely that of soldier adj
dressing soldiers. and express the hope
that Emperor Williams proclamation
to the PruSsian people will be decidedly
pacific.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 1.-THE Jour
nal de st. Petersburg, in an article on
the probable foreign policy of the new
German emperor, says that he will be
guided,no doubt, by the same good sense
that characterized the two preceding
reignS. 1t expresses the hope that the
memorable words of the late Emperor
William on his death bed will be re-
garded as sacred legacy by the grand
son, to guide Germany's relations
with Russia. "These relations can
only be improved and consolidated, in
view of the deep and sympathetic inter
est of all classes in Russia, which have
never ceased to show sympathy in the
sad trials of the dynasty of q neiyhhnr.
