BgRLIS, Oct IS.--0nly summary
Of DIR. Maekenzie's hook is yet aecessi
bic to the public here. but enough il
known OF is contents TO arouse savage
indignation in official circles. Put
ting aside the medical dispute
the charges which DR.. Macken
zie levels at Prince Bismarck OF iucit
ing the German doctors To eatrap him
into a doubling declaration as To the
nature Of the emperor's diseased arr
felt TO be a poisonous SANDER on the
reputation OF the chancellor. The
simultaneous appearance of the letter
OF Empress Victoria to DR. Mackenzie
in regard to his treatment is held to
prove concerted action to blacken
Prince Bismarek's character.
Must eSAsH HIS TEETH AND BEAR 1T.
DR.. Mackenzie's attack on Drs. Ger
hardt and Bergman can be answered
in the courts of law here or in Eng.
land, and can be met also by the opin-
ions OF eminent European specialtsts,
not German, but Prince Bismarck Is
powerless to deal with DIR. Mackenzie.
He viii. however, use every resource
OF his craft To render Empress Victoria
powerless to do him further harm.
FREDEEIcK's WIDOW SURROUNDED py
SPIES.
The report circulated Yesterday re.
garling the discovery of cipher code
from the emperor's room, indicate.
that the ehaneelior's gaIsie of surveil-
lance over the ex-empreSs, which
ceased by order of Emperor William
after her surrender OF Emperor Fred
erick's papers, will be renewed.
Watch viii be kept over her parti ans
and her movements, including her
propose visit to Windsor.
BISMARCK HAS THE Gour.
Meanwhile bismarck is having bad
time. II is suffering from a renewal
Of his attack OF gout in serious form.
partly ari-iil. rom worry. Ii is said
bis condition viii probably oblige him
4 retire from public affairs within d
few months.
The Prugressists overlook the fact.
well known in official circles, that En-.
pcror Williams experience in Vienna
and Rome has riveted him closer than
ever to Bismarck, whose policy has
made him ieel hopele>sly dependent
upon the guidance OF the chancellor.
MACKENZIE GENERALLY CONDEMNED
Popular feeling certainly sides with
Drs. BergInann and Gerhardt against
Dr. Maekenzie's aSpersions, vet the
Pro2reSSist papers select the most Of
fensive passages for prominent COM
ment.
The congress of naturalists in ses-
sion at Cologne has already adopted q
vote of censare OF DIR. Mackenzie and
the members of the various Berlin in.
stituies, clinical, pathological and phy.
siologieal, and everybody associated
with the medical profession, condemn
the English physician.

Official Journals chant hymns oi
peace over Emperor William S progress

tones OF war continue TO produce a
sense OF insecurity. The Ffeiadenbiah
