to gain full knowledge of the condi-
ton of his father before seeing his
mother and sisters. The crown
princess, with the princesses, awaited
him within the villa. 1t is understood
that he received the warmeSt welcome,
and that many tears were shed during
the interview. Twenty minutes after
his arrival the crown princess alone ac-
cOmpanied him to his father. During
yesterday and to-day Prince William
has been with the crown prince on the
balcony, and there was every appear

his selfish intention toward the crown
prince and his callous disregard of his
fathers Sutferings. Throughout Ger
many the public interest in the news
from San Reno grows in intensity. The
people of Berlin await dispatches with
the same eagerness and agitation as

The
STRONG FEELING OF SYMPATHY
for the German physicians shown by
the people is being daily increased by
the Suppression of the full official news,
and by reports from creditable sources
of quarrels between Drs. Mackenzie
and Bergman over the treatment of the
crown princes disease. The tone of
several of the German papers increases
the public irritation. The Magdeburg
Zeitung declares that the German peO-
pie owe nothing to DR.. Mackenzie, and
that the fact that the crown princes
life is still preserved is solely owing to
Drs. Bramann, Bergman and Schrader.

maintenance of DR.. McKenZie's hold on
the crown prince and crown princess,

William, it is supposed, with reference to
the proposal to grant Prince William

crown prince. The crown Prince diff

ton of regency of this character. 1t
is reported that the emperor accedes to
this proposal, admitting the force of
Prince Bismarck's plea that the simnl-
tafleOuS illness of himself and the crown
prince might create confusion in the
management of public affairs, The
emperor is careful to show himself
every day, either driving out or appear

helps to calm the general perturbation.
