vices were held over the remains of Em.
peror William in the mortuary cham.
beers in the palace last evening. The
chamber was profusely decorated with
flowers. Dowager Empress Augusta,
Grand Duke and Grand Duchess OF
1 Baden, Crown Prince ard Crown Prin-
cess of Sweden and other royal person
ages attended the services. The body
of the emperor lay in the same position
which the monarch occupied when he
| expired. A crucifix lay on his breast
and an ivory cross was in his right
hand. Chaplain Koegel in his sermon,
press Augusta held the hand of her
dying consort. After the service the
late emperorer's aide-de-camps, Lieu
tenant General Won Lehendolff and
Lieutenant General Won Waldersee,
acted as guards of honor
at the dead monarch's couch.
The decree of Emperor Frederick
in regard to national mourning
is universally approved. The news
papers say they hope the theatres and
other places of amusement will of
their own accord observe the first week
after the emperor's death as period
of mourning. The municipal authori-
ties will wear mourning for six weeks.
Ali the newspapers, with the single ex-
ception of the VOlksblatt, are pub
lished with deep borders of black.
AFTER THE MOoRs.
TANGIER, March 10.-The United
States war ship Enterprise, mounting
six ours, has arrived here. The cap
tain demands the immediate release of
the Moor which is under American
protection and who is imprisoned at
Rabbi. He also demands satisfaction
from the Moorish government for the
mans illegal arrest.
WALES SILVER WEDDING.
LONDON, March 1O.-The queen,
the Duke of Albany, Princess Beat
rice and Prince Henry of Battenberg
all attired in deep mourning drove to
Marlborough house to-day to greet the
Prince and Princess of Wales on their
silver wedding day. A crowd gathered
on the route and cheered heartily as
the royal party passed. The party re-
manned at Marlborough house half an
hour. On their return they were again
heartily cheered. The gloom caused
by the death of Emperor William is
somewhat eclipsed by the royal we'd
ding festivity and the German en-
bassy is forsaken.
SULLIVAN MITCHELL FIGHT A DRAW.
CHANTELLY, March 10.-The fight
between Sullivan and Mitchell resulted
in a draw after thirty-nine rounds had
been fought, time three hours and
eleven minutes.
''oUT OF CONDITION."
CHANTILLY, France, March 10.-The
Mitchell-Sullivan fight took place on
the grounds of Baron Rothschilds,
near Criel. Sullivan was out of Con-
dition when he entered the ring and
Mitchell had the best of the fight, and
his friends assert that he would have
won had the fight been continued. Up
to the end of the eighth round Sullivan
appeared to have the best of the fight,
but the fact that he could not
knock Mitchell out seemed to
greatly discourage him and after that
he fought with little spirit. Mitchell
showed great pluck throughout and his
friends are jubilant, as the result is
virtually victory for the little Eng
lishman. AT the end of the fight both
men were in poor shape and Mitchell's
hackers finally consented to a prop
osition made by Sullivan's
hackers that the fight be
declared a draw. The American
crowd is blue. Sullivan's friends are
utterly unable to explain why he did
not do better. Both mems hands were
in terrible shape at the end of the
fight. Mitchell seemed to improve as
the fight went on. He fought care
fully and kept out of Sullivans reach
as much as possible. Betting was
even at the end of the thirty eighth
round.
