Speculation has been already busy re-
garding the tenor of the en-
peror's address to the people. Of
fcially nothing is known of
Its character Prince Bismarck had a
conference today with the Prussian min
istry and afterwards obtained an audience
with Emperor William. The impression
in the ministerial circle is that the address

eal with that in which Emperor William
was buried.

chamber this afternoon. Later he was re-
reived by the imperial family. Professor

Empress Victoria was ayerse to it. Public
feeling in Berlin distinctly favored the
holding of such an examination and the

report as to the true malady from which
tire emperor died. Besides the doctors

SjoIberg Wernigerode, court chamberlain,
remained during the examination which
proved the existence of cancer. Mr.. Mac
hanZle's friends state that he concurred in
the holding of the post norton. They also
knew that he knew the character of the
disease from an early period, but took the
best course possible with the patient. The

chm has been erected, while around the
