LONDON, Oct ~ The British Medical
Journal publishes a synopsis Of the contents
Of Sir Morell Mackende's forthcoming book
upon the Emperor Frsdericks diseasc and its
treatment. At the outset DR. Mackenzie
complains that in preparing his defense no
has been placed at marked disadvantage
by being refused access to important docu-
ments which were available 20 his assan-
ants. He then declares that he never de-
ceived his royal patient as 20 til nature Of
the malady or Is serious character On the
contrary, the sufferer was kept fully and ac-
curately informed. The author has ample
proofs Of this, and alleges that the German
doctors made the charge Of deception, know
ing it 70 be false, hoping thereby TO prejudice
Frederick against his British adviser
Perhaps the most serious charge made by
the English physician is contained ia the
statepent that he does not hesitate to say
the death blow was given the patient on
April u, when the falso passage made by
Bergmann's tube caused extensive suppura-
tion around the trachen, which steadily
drained the remaining strength Of the sufferer
and shortened his life at least ten months
The statement is made that, except whtA the
false passage was made and Bergman thrust
his finger into the wound, Frederick never
suffered actual pain.

sustained, and the white Rose element
withdrew and indulged in very animated
indignation meeting, and laid plans 20 cap

should come before the convention. They
were largely in the minority, however, as at

sALL,s MOTION DENIED.

The President Cannot BE Compelled to De-
grade Himself by Testimony.
BUFFALO, Oct 12-Argument on the mo-
tion TO compel President Cleveland to testify
in the libel case Of DR.. Ball against The New
York Evening Post was made before Judge
Lewis in the supreme court chambers. The
argument Of counsel was principally on the
question Of the ability Of the court to compel
Mr. Cleveland to testify. The Judge finally
decided to deny the motion. He said he did
not think the president was amenable to this
court, nor did he think he was amenable to
any court for any crime he might commit.
He assumed that a man occupying the posi-
tion Of president Of the United States would
not, under any circumstances, give testimony
in such a case, and did not conceive that he
would for a moment think Of obeying the
process The presi lent cannot be imprisoned;
he can only be inpeached. The Judge did
not see how the presidents testimony could
be forced under tile circumstances Counsel
for plaintiff desired 70 drop the notice with
the privilege Of renewing it later when Mr..
Cleveland may possibly have again become a
private citizen. The court doubted if he
could even then be- compelled to give evidence
degrading himself The court then, at the
request Of counsel for plaintiff, put its de-
cision in writing, MS follows:
''The court viii give its decision and rea-
sons now, as requested / deny the motion
because / do not believe that it was made in
good faith. The court cannot conceive that
counsel believes that the issuing OF this
process would avail him anything in getting
evi4ence. For there reasons decline to issue
the process. The motion is denied
