BERLIN, March 3-The imperial family
has ceased to hope for the recovery of the
Crown Prince The first results of the
microscopic examination by Prof Wald-
never, as communicated to the Emperor,
are unfavorable, disclosing traces of cancer
in the pus arising from necrosis of the car
tilage of the larynx. The full official report
of Prof. Waldmeyer will be delayed until
DR.. Recklinghausen makes an analysis Dr.
Ziemmsen will probably also be requested
TO examine the pus. Apart from the results
of the examination, court dispatches con-
firm the progress of symptoms tending
toward fatal issue. The occasional ap-
paarance of improvement is followed by a
renewal of the gravest indications. Thus,
on Thursday the Crown Prince seemed
stronger and in brighter spirits, but during
the following night he was worse.
NEWSPAPERS CONFLICT.
Newspaper reports from San Reno con-
fict. While the National ZeitlGng saws the
patient is sleeping well, that his spirits and
appetite are better, and that he holds him
self erect, the BorSen Courier and Nord-
de1usche Zeitung on the same day report
that he had bad night. The decrease in
his strength has caused saddening change
in his aspect, having transformed him from
a robust into an aged and debilitated man
who is obviously suffering. The conflict of
reports does not weaken the fact, based
upon absolute information, that in
the highest official quarters every hope
has been abandoned of his recovery.
No immediate crisis is expected, but it
is recognized that sudden change for the
worse may 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 there. The question of
the period of his return will be the only sub
ject having the re1notest political bearing
that will be discussed during Prince Will
iam's presence at San Reno, and the de-
ciSion arrived at will depend upon the per-
sonal inclination of the Crown Prince and
Princess combined with the advice of his
physicians.
ANXIOUS TO RETURN.
Since his family have recognized that a
fatal issue is most probable the Crown
Prince has expressed an urgent desire to
return to Berlin as soon as possible. He
has stated his intention to the Emperor,
who, coinciding with the Crown Prince,
has relinquished his proposed journey to
San Reno. The respites from suffering
that the Crown Prince obtains encourages
confidence that he will be enabled to return
to Berlin. If he is fated to die suddenly at
San Reno he has everything ready. He
has written his will and prepared politi-
cal testament for his successor.
The presence of Prince William at the
villa has cheered his mother and the Prin-
cesses. Comments adverse to Prince VIII
liam continue to be heard in Berlin society.
Significance is attached to the fact that
none of the family met him at the San
Reno station, where he arrived from Genoa
in company with Prince Henry, his brother,
and Prof. Bergman. He was received by
the Prefect and German Consul.
WARMLY WELCOMED.
This arrangement was due to the Crown
Prince, who sent instructions to Prince
William at Carlsruhe that Prince Henry,
with DIR. Bergman, would meet him, the
obvious object being to enable him to gain
full knowledge of the condition of his
father before seeing his mother and sisters
The Crown Princess, with the PrincesseS,
awaited him within the villa. 1t is under
stood that he received the warmest vel
come, and that many tears were shed dur
ing the interview Twenty minutes after
his arrival the Crown Princess alone ac-
companied him to meet his father. During
yesterday and to-day Prince William has
been with the Grown Prince on the balcony,
and there was every appearance of cordial
lty between father and son. The reports
OF GOODNESS in their relations are chiefly
traceable to French sources. French papers
vie with each other in malicious inventions
EXCITED TO ANGER.
During the journey from Carlsruhe
Prince William obtained number of
French papers, and was excited to anger by
the stories in them of his selfish intentions
toward the Crown Paince and his callous
disregard of his fathers sufferings.
Throughout Germany public interest in
the news from San Reno grows in in
tenslty. The people of Berlin await dis
paOchea with the same eagerness and agita-
tlon as would be shown if campaign in
Volvlng the face of the nation were in
progre S. Extra editions are rush d out, and
Ihe papers are excitedly read and discussed
by groups on the streets.
p Inc strong feeling of sympathy for the
SerInan physicians shown by the people is
Delhg daily increased by the suppression of
the iull official news and by reports from
Iellaole sources of quarrels between Drs.
Mackenzle and Bergman over the treat
ment OF the Crown Princes disease.
IRRITATION INCREASED.
Ihe tone of several of the German news
ptpers increases the public irritation, The
Magdeburg ZeitWng declares thatthe Ger
man people owe nothing to DR.. Mackenzie,
Sis aHu mat the fact that the Crown Princes
~ uie Is stlll preserved is solely owing TO Drs.
DIssnann, Bergman and Schrader.
me National ZeitUng predicts an i'm
liilent crisis unless DIR. Bergmann's treat
Ilsht neht with the use of the German tube is
ueIinltely adopted.
ooi Lnese opinions are generally accepted,
oolHIDlned with the views affirming the
ia hLai1atenance of DR.. MacKenzie's hold on
Sa Sue Crown Prince and the Crown Princess,
cs osV a. are sdding to the lasting unpopularity
~ -, One Crown Princess. Hence arises ru-
dn dIos that the Crown Princess and her
tS hters will go to reside in England after
VIC ueath OF the Crown Prince.
