The latest adyices from Germany in
regard to the condition Of Emperor Will
liam, are unfavorable. Prince William
has Just returned from San Reno. Prince
william, Prince Bismarck, General Won
Moltke and the court physicians are pres
ent at the palace. 1t Is reported that the
closing Of the Reischtag viii be postponed
in consequence of the condition OF the
Emperor. The official bulletins say: 4
p. m.-The Emperor has suffered Q seri.
Gus relapse. He has been in q heavy
sleep since two O'Clock in the morning.
His condition causes great anxiety. 4.30
p. m.-The emperor awoke at $50
o'clock thesame afternoon, and took some
nourishment. The Berlin BehdnEeiger
publishes the following bulletin, which
has been issued by the emperor's physi-
clans: "To the general symptoms OF
cold which have affected the emperor
since the Sd, together with an affection
Of the mucils membrane of the throat
and irritation OF the membrane OF the
eyelids, has been added during the past
few. days painful abdominal disorder,
which have occurred frequently since the
9th. The emperor's appetite has mate
rally diminished, owing to which there
has been a marked decrease In his
strength The Bundesrath has been
summoned for an extraordinary sitting
on the night Of the 5th. 10 p. MT
Is still hoped that the emperor, notwith-
standing his present feebleness, may
rally. During the afternoon no alarming
change occurred. The slight nourish-
ment he was able to take seemed to re-
viye him. Prince William remained at
his grandfather's bedside quarter Of an
hour. In the evening the first story Of
the palace, where the emperors room Is
situated, was all lighted up. A constant
stream Of military men and government
officials passed in and out. Thestreet in
front Of the palace is kept perfectly quiet.
The doctors are anxious, on account Of
the emperoris rapidly declining strength.
After midnight he lay In doze. The
doctors were unable to wake him to adj
minister food until late In the afternoon.
Members Of the ministry and Of the i'm
perial house were in attendance during
the night, and the telephone to Potsdam
was kept open. II Is stated that in ad-
dition to kidney affections the emperor
Is also suffering from intense pain due to
inflammation Of the parts affected by the
rupture which he suffered some time ago.
Il has been found that morphia, admin
istered to alleviate The pain, ID too much
for his strength, and has bad effect
upon his appetite. Injections Of the
drug will, therefore be discontinued.
Doctors Won Leur and Luthold did no.
leave the emperor an instant In the pal
ace all day, but to the general public lit
tie was known until toward evening. The
very latest news Is that the emperor Is
In an almost comatosc state and cannot
live many hours. II is expected that in
consequence Of the illness Of the emperor
the crown prince will either return i'm.
mediately to Berlin, or 90 TO some place
in Germany, notwithstanding the fact
that he Is as yet unfit for travel.

nothing more than local. Chief Arthur
stated uareseryedly TO use Arthur's ex-
actness, there was "serious danger that
the strike Of the engineers and firemen
would now spread widely. i Is impos-
sibls to appease our men, y he said, .swhen
they know that railroad companies all
over the country are giving aid to the
Burlington. We are continually In re-
ceipt of kilograms showing that the CON-
panies are rendering this assistance, and

ton striks Is involving other roads at the
stockyards. Five Lake Shore engineers
refused to take train Of Burlington cars
from Englewood to Sixteenth street, in
Minneapolis. declaring they would quit
before they would haul anything bearing
the "Qn label. A Wabash switchman
refused to rec. i've Burlington cars, which
were brought 70 the yards at Root street.
The switchmen employed by the Union
Stockyards and Transit Company, which
has charge Of all switching at the yards,
also decided that they would handle no
Burlington cars. The full support Of the
entira brotherhood Of Locomotive En-.
gfneers and Firemen has been pledged to
their members on any and all roads

Il necessary TO strike, and formally de-
eide 10 do 80, In order TO uphold their

II was learned that several

cara switched, but the engineer on the
switch engine refused TO touch them.
Another engine was sent after them with
