williamII. and his Mother.

A dispatch from Berlin to the New York
World says:
IAN extraordinary rumor ia current In the
city which causes the most intense sensation.
1t appears tbst. Notwithstanding the urgent
entreaties and protests Of the widowed EN-
press that no autopsy should be performed
on the body of the dead monarch, the new
Emu error, disregarding the appeals of his
mother, caused post mortem examination
to be made Saturday afternoon. The Wld
owls feeiogs were additionally outraged by
the fact that Prof. Won Bergman, the very
surgeon who bad baen forced by her to with
draw from attendance on the late Emperor,
was called upon to perform it. The post,
norton has revealed the fact so long denied
by Sir Morel Mackenzie and other surgeons;
namely, that the malady with which the
late Emperor was afflicted was cancer IN lts
most malignant and incurable form. Ihls
being the case Emperor Frederick was de.
barred by certain clauses in the Prnssisn
constitution concerning princes afflicted
with incurable malsdes from succeeding to
the throne, and according to the letter OF
the law his accession was an illegal act. The
rumor which is now current is to the effect
Legality of certain acts of the late Emperor
are about to be called into question, but that
even the rank and position Of his widow as
dowager are seriously compromised especi
ally as regards her appansges aud title.
"While it is almost impossible to believe
that the new Emperor's dislike for bis
mother will lead him to the preparation of
so incredible an act, yet there is no doubt
that the uutruthful denial of the existence
of cancer at the time of Frederick's Access
sion in March last enabled him TO become
Emperor and his wife Empress in direct de.
fance of the terms of the constitution. Some
appearance of truth is lent to the rImor by
Kaiser WiIhelm's unnatural conduct in in
sisting on the autopsy in disregard of his
mothers entreaties, and the fact remains
that even Sir Morel Mackepz e now admits
that the malady from which Frederick died
was cancer"

The Dead Monarch.

The remains of Emperor Frederick were
placed In coffin Saturday night, and then
carried to the catafalque, which has been
erected in the Jasper Gallery. The body is
developed in military clock. The head,
which is uncovered, rests upon white satin
cushion. The coffin is Identical with the
one in which Emperor William was buried.
The ceremonies at the Castle Friedrichs-
kron took place to-day. During the re-
moval of the body the chorale, IL Know
That My Redsemer L!veth," was sung.
The church bells were tolled from nine a..
%. until the funeral procession entered the
Friedricbskirche and again after the firing
OF the artillery salute. The coffin was re-
moved from the catafalque by twelve off :.
GERS of the body-guard and borne to the
funeral car, preceded by the court chamber
lain. The ceremony in the church was
conducted in accordance with the instruc
tons given in the last testament of the de.
ceased
When the procession entered the church
prelude was played on the organ. The
IitaDy was then read and when the words,
Blessed ire the dead which die in the
LAID" was read, the choir responded, Even
so ealth the Spirit, for they rest from their

sermon.

The post norton examination was con.
fined to dissection of the neck, larynx and
lungs. In the larynx, which was found to
have been destroyed By suppuratior, was a
cavity about the size OF clinched fist. DIR.

the Emperor suffered during the last days
of his life, which was attributed to such

to collapse of the larynx, owing to the de-
struction of the cartilage. The direct cause
of death is given as paralysis of the lungs.

THE GREAT majority of the clerkships in
the civil service in Washington are held by
republicans. quiet now but, nevertheless ,un-
compromising partisans. Hundreds among
them would fling up their hats in Joy were to
die to morrow" This remark was made by
President Cleveland, so late as last week.
Could he have possibly advanced stronger
reason for putting himself more in accord,
on the subject of civil service, with the feel
ings of the men upon whose support he de-
ponds for reelection? How can he, as a
reasonable man, expect the duties of the
government to be exercised in strict and
faithful accordance with his principles and
policy by men who would fling up their hats
in Joy if he were to die?
