LONDON, June 16.-After the emperor's
death the new Kaiser William H. instantly
assumed personal control of matters within
and without the castle. His first act was to
order the hussars and uhlans attached to the
castle to rigidly guard the house and grounds,
allowing no one to enter or to leave without
a special permit. All applications for per-
mission-to leave the palace were refused, and
all passes except those countersignsd by the
emperor himself, in his own hand, were can
celled. Passes issued at the instance of DR..
Mackenzie were rigidly and somewhat con-
spicuously repudiated, especially those which
had been given to reporters
The strong Gordon of troops surrounding
the castle excited much curious comment
and criticism both within and without the
schloss, as an illustration of the transfer of
power and the new emperors determination
to exercise his authority. DR.. Bergman
was telegraphed to yesterday afternoon to
perform an autopsy on the body of the dead
emperor, and it is rumored that DR.. Macken-
ze has made preparations to leave in conse-
quence. 1t was the wish Of Emperor Fred
erick that his funeral be as simple and pri-
vate as possible, only his immediate relatives
held at q o'clock this afternoon over the bier
in the schloss. The funeral proper will
take place on Monday.

All precautions against the further
spreading of said disease are taken.
Considerable dissatisfaction is shown
by our farmers about the wheat markets
in this vicinity, They say their wheat
brings from 1915 cents more at stations
on the NJ. & St. L. Road than it does
here. Consequently large quantities
Of our wheat is marketed at Fairfax.
Messrs. Aug. Heymann, jr. and H.
Wiedeman, both of this town, will leave

port OF the general Government.
We haven't seen many democrats
Ia ci all L,,+
on a time We met Mr., Ed. Hensel, one
of our staunch Milford democrats. we
at once noticed a peculiar smile on him
and upon being informed as to the
cause of it we found that it had nothing
to do with politics whatever, but it was
simply the arrival of new boarder
who had made his appearance in the
family.
