THE LAST DAY.
How Emperor Frederick Passed His
Last Day on Earth.

BERLIN, June 15.-According to all ac-
counts the demeanor of the Emperor him
self during the last day of his illness was
perfect and heroic to the last degree. In
deed, his behavior found worthy counter
part in the conduct of his consort, who,
amid all her anguish and despair, was the
very pattern of self sacrificing, resourceful
and devoted wife. AT one time the Kaiser
wished to see his daughter Sophia, who was
eighteen years old yesterday. Seldom has a
daughter received the congratulations of
her parents under sadder circumstances.
One of the birthday presents to the Princess
Will possess an enduring interest. 1t is a
fan given by the Hereditary Princess of
Saxe-Meiningen, which the Emperor took in
his hand and for time feebly famed him
self with it. The Emperor lay in a plain
English brass bedstead, at the foot of which,
on an easel, is portrait Of the Empress by
Angel. The Empress herself sat beside her
husband. The Crown Prince, dressed In a
major generals undress uniform, but with
out a sword, stepped quietly into the sick
chamber every quarter of an hour.
During the day the Emperor wrote in PEN
ell: Il feel that DIR. Mackenzie has done all
that human science, watchfulness and skill
could do to prolong my life ] thank him"
On another slip he wrote: III have tried
my best to do my duty to my God and to my
country. feel that the end is now near
God will be DONE"
The room in which the Emperor died is
not ten yards from the one in which he was
born. 1t is Of medium size, and on the walls
are portraits OF Emperor William and of all
Bmperor Frederick's children, besides half a
dozen engravings of Frederick the Great.

To be Taken With Allowance.

New YORK, June 15.-Referring to the
despatch from BRUSSELS stating that the In
dependent Beige has information that STAN
ley, the explorer, was wounded in a fight
with the natives, and that afterwards one
half Of his escort deserted him, the New
York Sun this morning comments as follows
"This despatch must be received with eau.
tion. Two or three reports about Stanley's
expeditions, printed in this Brussels news
paper soon after Stanley started on his over
land journey, were found to be fictitious.
The despatch says that informa tion concel n
ing Stanley was brought to Kinshassa by
some Arabs. Kinshassa Is en- Stanley Pool.
where are several white stations. It is now
headquarters of the Congo State on the up
per river. IL any reports about Stanley
worth noticing reached that place, it would
certainly be forwarded as soon as possible
by Congo State Official. If the Arabs have
descended to Kinshassa, il is the first time
they have come within nearly a thousand
miles of that place. The bare statement that
one half Of Stanley's escort deserted him
will be received with incredulity unless it be
fortified by circumstantial details.n

prepared herself to pass the night and watch

AT that time the Emperor grew restless,
and continually weaker, and the members Of

and remained waiting In an adjoining room
in readiness to be warned that the Emperor
was passing away. A bulletin issued at 10
o'clock this morning said that the Emperor
had been lying for some time in slight
slumber, broken by wakeful intervals dur
ing which he showed distinct signs of con-
