A Denial That Comes a Little Late.

BERLIN, Jan. 3.-The North German Gazette
denies that any court circle has proposed to
tabish a regency to meet the contingency of the
sudden death of Emperor William, and the ina
bility of the Crown Prince to assume the rens
of power It is not true. the Gazette further
says that the Crown Prince consulted Baden
statesman the proposal that he should abdi-
cate. Although the Gazettes language is en-
phatic, the former statement that the question
of the abdication of the Crown Prince had been
the subject of negotiations remains authentic.
The denial is understood to have been issued
under a demand from San Reno.
