Events tn the Old worId-Empcror
Eredertck's Throat.
PoTsDAM, June 12.-The bulletin issued
at 8 80 this morning says: The difficulty
in swallowing which has troubled the
Emperor recently has increased, and the
taking of nourishment is becoming diff.
cult. The Emperor feels weaker this
morning.
1t is considered by the Emperor's
physicians that the Emperors disease
has possibly reached the msophagus Al
the same time, they consider that the
difficulty he experiences in taking nour-
ishment may be temporary.
RAPIDLY SINKING.
BERLIN, June -, 9 80 p. M.-Although
the Emperor is slightly better great
| anxiety prevails on account OF some
changes, OF the exact nature OF which the
doctors are uncertain. Ruptures in the
cartilages of the throat seem to allow
particles Of food and liquids to enter the
air tubes, causing coughing and choking.
Whether any Of the recent assesses
broke through the partition between the
larynx and tesophagus or whether the
epiglottis has been attacked by malg-
nant disease, the doctors are unable to
determine. The Emperor is rapidly
weakening.
The Crown Princess visited the En-
peror at o'clock. At $50 p. NJ. the
Emperor went to the terrace and re-
manned an hour. Later there was a
change for the worse and he became very
feverish.
The doctors admit that the Emperor is
in an almost hopeless condition. The
Grown Prince was summoned to the pal
ace at midnight.
1t is reported that ii the Emperor doe 8
not improve regent will be appointed
tomorrow. 1t was hoped the
difficulty in swallowing was due
to temporary paralysis of the
epiglottis. This hope, however, has
proved to be fallacious; the local disease
appears to have reached the mouth OF the
gullet wall, and the cartilages between
the latter and the windpipe are partly
destroyed or at least affected.

pondent OF the st. James Gazette tele-

IRISH AFFAIRS.
Bishop O'Dwyer, of Limerick, has
written another letter in relation to the
Pope's rescript, in which he vehemently
reiterates the statement in his letter to the
Mayor of Limerick in regard to those
who refuse to abide by the terms OF the
rescript, and denounces all those
who refuse to obey the Pope
as desperate men. Bishop O'Dwyer
hints that he will excommunicate the
schismatic parishioners OF his diocese
who disobey the rescript. The ISLANDERS
directed against himself he says are ma
licious lies, concocted by the leaders OF
the agitation in order to prejudice his
spiritual authority. He says he always
has been Nationalist, but does not ac-
cept disobedience of the Pope as the test
Of fealty to the cause.
