PoTsDAM, June l5.-During the carly
hours of the evening the emperor's con,
dition was comparatively good and he sat
for half an hour in a chair and took some
n~ourishment. At 3 O'Clock there was an
alarming increase in his maiesty's sickness
and relatives who had left the palace were
telegraphed to return. At 4 o'clock he
became restless and soon after the whole
family assembled in the room adjacent to
the one in which the emperor lay. At 10
O'Clock this morning access to the parlor
was stopped. Count Won Scolberg Wemi-
gerod, court chamberlain, was the only
minister present at that hour. Chaplains
| Persius and Rogge were also in attend
ance.
4 P. M.-The ministers are now Assem-
bled at F~riedrichskron castle. They are
awaiting an audience with the new en-
peror and empress, who are now at the
castle.
The emperor lay this morning in a
lethargic condition, sometimes rousing
for a few minutes. During the last hour
Of his life he made several fruitless eff
forts to make himself understood. He
died without a struggle, surrounded by all
the members of his family. The remains
now lie in the bed where he died. Won
Werner sketched the emperor's features
after death. The flag flying over the
palace was lowered to half mast. At 11:20
this morning Prince Bismarck arrived at
Pottsdam.
Some details are now becoming known
in regard to the last hours ofthe emperor.
An hour after midnight the empress DIS
missed the members of the imperial fam
lily to their apartments and prepared her
self to watch the night through in a room
adjoining the emperor's. DR.. Howell
shared in the vigil. At this time the en-
peror was in full possession of his facul-
ties.
Shortly after | o'clock he wrote on a
slip of paper the following questions,
which he handed to DR.. Howell:
How is my pulse2 Are you satisfied
with it2"
He then wrote something more, but re-
tanned the piece of paper in his hand,
after erasing the words.
Between 2 and 3 o'clock his brea hing
became terribly labored, and some mo-
ments of struggle would occur, alternat
ing with spasms and great distress as the
hard fight with approaching death pro-
crossed. By this his strength was seen to
be waning. AS soon as it became evident
that the end was near, the empress caused
the royal family to be summoned and at :
o'clock all gathered around the bedside.
DIR. Koegil. court chaplain. who had been
summoned by telegram from Ems, did not
| arrive in time to administer the last sacra-
ment. DIR. Passius, therefore, ~officiated
in this ceremony. Pastor Roge was also
| present in the death chamber.
During the administration of the sacra-
ment, and indeed even to within fifteen
| minutes before his death the emperor APP
peared to be quite conscious, He showed
! by the expression of his eyes and by the
| movement of his eyelids that he still rec
ognized all who approached the bedside.
| Relatives aud others, and a number Of
friends who had been summoned early in
the morning. reached the palace before
| death had taken plaoe.
The emperor's remains will probably
lie in State in the Garrison church at
J Potsdam. y By order of the Evangelic

Down to Work.

CHICAGO, June l5.-The Republican
national committee got down to actual
work to night. Before taking up the
business in hand, however, Mrs. Isabella
Beecher Hooker, the well known woman
suffrage advocate, was granted ten min
utes at her request to present her cause to
the committee. The secretary was in
structed to wait upon Mrs. Hooker and
in the meantime on motion of Conger of
Ohio next Monday, June Is, was fixed as
the date when each state delegation to
the convention should meet and elect a
chairman OF their delegation and one
member to serve as vice president and one
each on the committees on credentials,
permanent organization, rules and order
business, platform and resolutions and
national Republican committee.
Mrs. Hooker entered with Secretary
Fessenden and a lady friend. She spoke
clearly and well, arIu ir laughing enthu-
siasm by an offer hat If the committee
would endeavor to have a woman suffrage
plank inserted in the convention platform
she would guarantee them a hundred
women speakers in the coming canvas,
who would sweep the republican party
into power to stay as long as it pleased.
The plank offered by Mrs. Hooker was
received on behalf of the committee by
Secretary Conger from the subcommittee
appointed to prepare the roll Of the con-
v%ention.
kilograms were read from Greed Hay
mond of California and M. d. Foley of
Nevada, stating that the Pacific coast
delegates desired to present the name of
Morris M. Estee of California for teLl-
porary or permanent chairman, and re-
questing that action by the national COM
mittee be suspended until the coast men
arrived. The request met with no oppo-
sition.
A number of the members Of the ma
tional committe itself are not yet here,
and there was no intention of making a
selection until as many as possible are
present.
An adjournment was taken until 8 p.
II. to morrow.

WASHINGTON, June 10 Intelligence
of the death of the emperor was received
by Secretary Bayard this morning by ca
bic message from the United States iega-
ton at Berlin. The secretary Immediately
informed the president and the following
telegram was sent to Berlin:
To PendletoR, Minister at Berlin:-The
president desires you to make an express
ion through the foreign Office of the re-
spectful sympathy fe,t throughout the
United States for the German nation IN
the loss of their emperor who has at last
yielded to death with such lofty courage

cree
ISigned BAYARD.
LONDON, June l5.-Much sorrow was
expressed at the death of the emperor of

OF the emperor of Germany will cause nc
weakening of Prince Bismarck's power,
and that the peace policy will continue to
predominant in Germany.
The st. James Gazette says: The en-
peror was a true man, and his loss is very
great. The new emperor has his own
ideas what to do or not to do for the safe
ty OF Germany, and these may have GER
tam Importance in England. Emperor
Frederick death may suspend whatever
warlike designs exist in Europe, and later
events will move more quietly, and Eng
land must promptly decide what part she
means to play in certain contingencies.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: Emperor
William by his devotion to duty, untiring
industry and firm grasp of ideas showed
how a king could live. Emperor Freder-
lex has shown the world how a king can
die; No characters in history stand
higher.

ment, announced this afternoon in the
house of commons the death of Emperor
Frederick. He will move an address on

which tie emperor expired. Only the
upper half of the face is visible. On the

are Joined and rest on the hit of a cav
airy sabre. AT the foot of the bed stands
a table covered with flowers. The fea-
lures wear an extremely peaceful expires
sion.
DIR. Mackenzie informed the empress
on Wednesday that he had abandoned all
hope Of further ~prolongation of life.
1t is reported that King Humbert is
coming to attend the burial.
In accordance with the wishes of the
late emperor and the empress, Emperor
William III has ordered that the funeral
will be held Monday morning. The obse-
quies will be devoid of pomp, and will be
of a military character. Owing to the
limited accommodations the attendance
will necessarily be very small.
A TOUCHING SCENE
occurred at the bedside this morning.
While the emperor's life. was passing
away Bismarck had called to bid his dy-
ing master a last farewell. The emperor
was thoroughly conscious and taking the
hand of the aged chancellor in his own
feeble grasp and motioning to the EN-
press to draw nearer, he took her hand
and Joined it with that of Bismarck, thus
giving a silent and pathetic token of his
desire for a reconciliation of all differences
between his wife and the prime minister.
