the total visible supply Of the country. The last

DISEASE.
AN INTERVIEW WITH DIR. MACKENZIE CONCERNING

HIS DISTINGUISHED PATIENT.
BERLIN. May 14-Profess6r vrchow examined the
Emperor to-day. lie atterwad told DIR. Mackenzie
that no much puzzled, and was even now unable
to define the disease
London, May IA" The Pail Mall Gazette" has the
following account Of an interview at Charlottonburg
Castle between Mr.. Stead and Dr. Mackenzie
Mr.. stead received by the doctor in large,
light room In the centro OF tho castle The apart
had three bay windows and three doors. Several
diagrams OF the Emperors head the walls and
a table were sketches OF canulas and number OF
books, including Arnold's Essays Criticism
DIR. Mackenzie looked worn and anxious and showed
traces Of the long vigs he has maintained in his at
tendance upon the Emperor. During the Interview he
repeatedly sumomned to the Emperor's room by
an electric bell He stated to Mr.. Stead that his pa
is all that could desired in the of temper
patience and checrfulness. He Is obedtent and
ustful and welldispositioned as child He bears
pain bravely and does not indulge In needless wor
rying The that he had asked the chaplain to
pray for his release from his suferngs and that he
longed for death were untrue.
1t is by no means certain said the DOCTOR that he
has made up his mind that he is dying He does not
suffer from the canula although Inflammation and the
sloughlng away OF portions OF dead cartilage cause
him inconvenience. The reports Of the bad odor per
vading the room gross exaggeratons. Until His
Macsy's recent severe attack Of illness he sat at the
table at meal times with his family and went about
and he did not dlscommode any one The doctor
said that the Empcrors strength improved he hoped
he could be removed shortly to P0tsdam
The Emperor Is I'm the habit Of mind common to all
chron,cs, who alternate between the belief that they
will live couple of years, when they mentally plan
for the future, and the fear that all will be over with
them in few days Although apparently robust
His Majesty has much recuperave power, and this
circumstance would have rendered fatal tho operation
proposed in May OF last year.
Dr. Mackenzie said In conclusion o. The Emperor is
certainly suffering from perichondrtts, which with
disease OF the cartlages Is very dangerous, though
not necessarily fatal II Ne also has cancer, that will
necessarily prove fatal, sooner or latcr.n
