EMrERoR WILLIAM, Of Germany, is
dead. This simple, but sad announce
ment has created intense feeling all over
the civilized world. Being not only
fairly good ruler, but also one among
the gisest of sovereigns, his death is la
meBled by people Of all nations; and not
since the widespread sympathy of the
world tot the loss sustained in this coun-
try by the assassination Of Abraham Lin
coin, have nations SO generally and feel
ingly united ia paying tribute 70 the vir-
tues and manly attributes Of great ruler.
While the world at large loses SOW
ereisn of more than ordinary traits of
nobility, the German Confederacy es-
pecially sustains an almost irreparable
loss in his dcaih. Few men rule as long
and as well As the deceased Kaiser. For
nearly twenty-eight years he presided
over his people, invested with all the
privileges and powers, first as King and
lastly as Emperor and for several years
prior to his death exercised prudently
and popularity the peculiarly delicate du-
ties of Regent.
Ii was not until 1871, after prosecuting
7 to successful issue the war against
France, when the twenty-five German
States were consolidated under the name
and title Of North German Confedericy,
that he was proclaimed Emperor
Though not more aggressive in bis the
ories than other European poteptates, be
was far more successful than most Of
them in practical results as Is evidenced
by the success of his armies against Dem
mark in 1868, and the humiliating sub
lection of Austria in 1866 by reason OF
the alliance he formed with Italy.
While not as despotic rs some rulers.
sad much better than most who are in
vested with mcnarchial prerogatires. he
did not escape the prosecutions and an
noyances OF envy, bigotry and malice.
He WAS not without secret and public
enemies-enemieS who not only tried
uiptoinatic-sliy 70 thwart his government
81 policy, but enemies who clandestiuely
worked Ecr the destruction of his life. In
the yeSr is5s. two attempts were made
to accomplish this BY sssassination-one
by young man acting in tie interest Of
the socialistic conclase with which he
was identified; the other by fanaticai
physician, named Nobling, who was the
victim of communistic fallacies.
At Berlin. the home Of the Kaiser, ev-
licences of sorrow were to be seen on ey-
cry hand For days preceding the final
summons, the question on everybody's
lips was, sHow is the Emperor On the
morning ofhis death, March 9th, living

The News at Washington.

WAsiiISGTox, D. G., March S.--The Off
c:ai announcement of the death of Emperor
William was received at the German Lega-
ton early this morning. The telegram was
signed by Prince Bismarck, and stated that
the Emperor passed peacefully away at half
past this morning. Baroa Won Lelwi,z,
Charge d Ailaircs. when questioned upon the
subject Of succession, said that Crown Prince
Frederick William became Emperor Of Ger
many and King of Prussia Immediately af-
ter the death of his father and that now, rs
always, if the question of the incapacity OF
the sovereign is raised it will be decided by
The two Chambers of Prussia.
\ copy of the dispatch received by the
German Charge d'Affaires from Bismarck
was sent to the Secretary of State. The Sec
rotary OF State this afternoon sent the follow
ing ciblegram to Minister Pendleion
PeDdleton, Berlin.
q The President desires you to make
known through the Foreign Office that the
death of the ilIu>trious and venerable En-
peror of Germany has deeply aroused the
sorrow and sympathy of the people of the
United States and their Government
BAYARD"
The Secretary also sent message to Bar
on Leiwitz, Charge d 'Affaires, of which the
following is copy
BARoS-The melancholy tidings convey
cd by your note of this date had already
been received by 4 telegram from Nj. Pen
dleton, our Minister at Berlin. The seal Of
death has at last been set upon long and
illustrious career, and the people of the Uni
ted States win fully sympaihize with ali Ger
many at the bier Of Emperor William. Ac-
cept, Baron, the renewed assurance of my
highest consideration. T. f. BAYAED.

occasion resembled the times of the past
when everybody flocked to the Senate

some great national question. No Sena-
tor, whatever his ability has been, since
the DAYS Of those niatchless orators, has
been able 10 draw upon the people as had

an illustration Of the logic and truth of
