BERLIN March 3-The imperial family has
ceased TO hope for the recovery of the Crown
Prince. The frat results of the microscopic
examination oy Professor Waldemier. as COM
muncated to the Emperor, are unfavorable dis

necrosis of the cartilage of the larynx. The
full official report of Professor Waldemier
will be delayed until DIR. Recklinhausen
makes az analysis. DR.. Ziemmsen will prob
ably also be requested to examine the pus.
Apart from the results of the examination, court
dispatches confirm the progress of symptoms
tending towards fatal issue. The occasional
appearance of improvement is followed by
newal of the gravest indications. Thus, on
Thursday, the Grown Prince seemed stronger
and in brighter spirits, but during the follow

with slight fever. The newspaper reports from

No immediate crisis is expected. but it is recog.

occur at any moment, involving his death, If
the disease should be permitted to run its
full course. The Crown Prince may be
able to return to Berlin in May, and pass
his last days here. The question of the period
OF his return will be the only subject having
remotest political bearing that will be discussed
during Prince Williams presence at San Reno,
and the decision arrived at will depend upon
the personal inclination of the Crown Prince
and Princess combined with the advice of the
physicians. Since his family have recognized
that fatal issue is most probable, the Crown
Prince himself has expressed an ardent desire
to return to Berlin possible. He has
stated his intention to the Emperor, who, coin.

William at the villa has cheered his mother and
the princesses.
Comments adverse to Prince William continue
to be heard in Berlin society. Significance is
attached TO the fact that none OF the family met
him at San Reno station, where he arrived from
Genoa in company with Prince Henry, his
brother, and Professor Bergman. He

DR.. Bergman, would meet him. the obvious OBJ

knowledge of the condition of his father
before seeing his mother and sisters. The Crown
Princess, with the princessss, awaited him
within the villa. 1t is understood that he

tears were shed during the interview. Twenty

strong feeling of sympathy for the German
physicians shown by the people is being daily
increased by the suppression of the full official
news and by reports from crecitable sources OF
quarrels between Drs Mackenzie and Berg
mann over the treatment of the Crown Princes
disease. The tone of several OF the German
papers increases the public irritation. The
Magdeburg Zeituug declares that the German
