now admit that the German doctors
were justified in letting the world know

Said one of these gentlemen: ''The
cardinal point of the whole controversy
turns upon the questions: What was
the operation proposed and moi
was it posponed?' The answer is that al
that time DR.. Gerhardt and DR.. Won
Bergman were satisfied that the di.
SeaSe was cancer and believed that the
malignant growth could be entirely cut
away from the left vocal cord (Which
would, Of course, be permanently in
Jured), but that access to the cord could
be obtained only
BY OPENING THE LARYNX.
This operation was not necessarily
dangerous, as DR.. Won Bergman had
performed it without serious conSe-
quenceS in number of instances. Dr..
Mackenzie was at that time, by request
of Empress Victoria, called in to give
his opinion, and objected to the opera
ton. which was postponed on the
understanding that in case the swell
ing increased or proved to be malig-
nant he would inform his colleagues,
and it should be performed. The Ber-
lin doctors, however, were not again i'll
formed until the disease had made such
progress that the only hope of saving
Frederick's life was by the very danger

FREDERICK DECLINED TO ALLOW.
Now, in my opinion, so far as 1 am
able to judge from the long report of
the German physicians, DR.. Mackenzie
either erred in his treatment or diliber-
ately extracted for examination by
Virchow and others, parts of the growth
which he knew were not Indignantly
affected, in order to evade the law
which breaks the succession in case of
incurable disease"
THE NEWS FROM ZULULAND
is disquieting. The quarrel between
USipetu and and Cetewayo's son, Dini-
Zebu, which seemed at one time to be
little more than an affair for the police,
has assumed so serious an aspect that all
the available troops in Natal have been
hurried across the Tugela, where /, 400
men from Cape Town are already
encamped. The original explanation
of the outbreak was that feud
had arisen on account of cattle stealing.
There had been depredations of this
character, no doubt; but it is to be
feared that one must go behind these if
the tr ue origin of the disturbance is to
be discovered. The two forces which
have come into collision represent inter
ests which have been in Sharp conflict
ever since the
DISMEMBERME OF ZULULAND.
Usipepu is the chief with whom
CetewayO, after his restoration, became
embrOiled in those troubles which in
cannot be ignorant of the events which
precipitated the ruin of his father, and
he is surrounded by men who have
not forgotten the special favors
which the British authorities have ex-
tended to USipebu in the arrangements
which have from time to time been
made with view to securing peace for
the country. But the young chief has
behind him a still
MORE DANGEROUS INFLUENCE.
The Beers of the new republic
humored him on the death of his father
by recognizing him as king over a
particular section of the country, and
even by bearing part in the sham
ceremonial of his coronation. Later or
the chief was shocked at the rapacity of
his Transvaal patrons, and an
estrangement took place. There
seems good reason, however,
to believe that working alliance has
been arranged between the Beers and
Usutus. Scouts from the British forces
state there is large body of white men
with DiniZulu, and that one of them
acts as second in command. 1t is the
policy of the Zululand Beers

convince Englishmen that they are in

strife OF that they will remain neutral.
ERgliSh statesmen admit that present
events in Zululand may alter the whole
future of England's connection with
South Africa.
The matrimonial difficulty between
King Milan and Queen Natalie is fast
becoming vital European question, at
least this is the view of the matter
taken in Belgrade and st. Petersburg,
where public opinion on the subject has
become greatly excited. In Seryia dis
cussion of the affair has frequently

The mutual irreconcilable antipathy''
and ''insupportable aversion" de-
scribed by King Milan as existing be-
tween himself and his spouse in his
plea for divorce, are in reality only a
difference of opinion respecting the
part which Servia should take in the
imminent duel between Russia and
Austria. Her birth and education lead

Serviaps generally are taking sides in
the controversy with great warmth, and
it is significant that even the astute and
majority of the people of the kingdom
have arrayed themselves in support
OF the position taken by the
queen. while the sympathy and adher-
ence of those who are known to be
