tive. For nearly half an hour he spoke with scarcely pause, sitting up in the bed.
 Then he lay down for while, received some refreshment and afterwards again con- versed with those around him. When he was besought to husband his remaining strength, the ka ser made the characteristic reply:
 "No; feel l have not much more time to hve. prefer to say all wish to say"
 Addressing many of his remarks directly to Prince William, the emperor went on to talk in minute detail of various civil and military affairs He referred also to foreign matters and spoke of the relations of the empire to France. I am told that the effect of this marvellous recovery and no less mar velous discourse on his majestys hearers was indescribable. The doctors were astonlshed at the display of strength. Meanwhile the room was full-indeed much too crowded and Prince von Bismarck demonstratively drew back in order to keep others from press ing too near to thh emperor's bedside. His majesty did not exhibit the slightest fear of death, which he is prepared to meet with the indomitabe courage he has exhibited on the field of battle.
 A Daily News dispatch from Berlin says: 'The emperor was just speaking few words to the Grand Duchess of Baden when he fell suddenly backward in his bed and every effort of the doctors to resuscitate him was vain, so thst all believed that he was dead The telegraph office was crowded by hun- dreds of people, who were obliged to revoke their messages announcing his majesty $ death." Said another dispatch: ''The rumor of the emperor's death originated in the fact that he really was for half an hour i'll such deep swoon that Prince Bismarck and the war minister were sent for"

Cs,uyeycd to the Crown Prince who Will
 Leave for Berlin.
 BERLIN, March 9.-The feeling of in tense relief and gratitude which pervaded all classes in Berlin last night, when it be- came known that the Emperor was still alive, was succeeded by one of profound grief when the official announcement was made of the death of the grand old warrlor at S:30 o'clock this morning. There is no doubt whatever of the truth of the sad news, as immediately after the death was made known, the imperial standard on the palace was lowered to half mast and those on all public buildings and embassies in the city at once displayed similar token Private citizens also begun to drape their houses with emblems of mourning and all Berlin is shrouded in similar silence. The public wss warned that there was no longer any hope for the aged monarch, by the following official bulletin, W hich was issued at 7 o'clock this mornin:
 After slight hickering of the vital powers dur ing the carly hours of the evening the Emperor's thing points to his early dissolution. (SigneD
 LAUER, LENTHoLD ! The sad intelligence was at once tele- graphed to the crown prince at San Reno. A dispatch from there says that ilnmedi- ately preparations were made for the de- parture of the crown prince, the princess and Dr Mckenzie by special train for Berlin. The remains of the kaiser lie in the chamber in which he died, covered with a white linen cloth and surrounded with lighted candles. Only members of the | royal family are admitted

A REMARkABLE DISEASE.
" Handsome Young Lady of ToleSl O [ Whose Skin Turned Black.


 ] TOLEDO, O., March 9.-Grace Arlie, q beautiful young lady living with her parents In the fifth ward, was taken suddenly ill six months ago, and for several weeks she suf- fered from an apparent attack of typhoid fever. At the end of the third week bright fred spots came out over her face and limbs and gradually extended over her entire body ! A week later the spots began to grow dark in color, and in two months from the time she was first taken Miss Arlie seemed to have recovered from the fever and began to gain in strength, but the condition of her skin grew worse and worse, until her body finally became as black as that of a negro. Mean while she regained strength, and is to-day in full mental vigor.
 A relative of the family tells the remark able story that five years ago Miss Arlie's father was a prosperous planter in South Carolina, ard kept large number of negroes to work for him. One of them became abusive one day and threatened Arlie, who, blind with passion, drew his revolver and shot the negro dead. The wife of the negro saw her husband fall and, going up to Arlie, invoked curses upon him.
 Arlie never recovered from the effects of the tragedy, but in year or so moved north, locating in this city. He is man of wealth and largely interested in manufactures. He is preparing to take his daughter to Europe for treatment

 LONDON, March s,-A special from Amiens says that Mitchell is sick and in no condition to fight, 90 the great Sullivan Mitchell fight will not come on to-day. Sporting men who have been hanging around the office of the Sports- man were chagrinned at the news and many expressed disblief in it until it was confirmed by private dispatches. Mitchell and Kilra;n left for Dover yesterday after noon. Smith followed on train later last night, fact which led to the widespread belief that Mitchell and his friends are really trying to play the Picwickian act. From Dover they proceeded to France.
 Sentiment is not su ;n fsror of Mitchell. for even though it is rare for the English to show any partiality to foreigner, the American has to @ certain extent become wonderfully popular in, London.
 The announcement that Mitchell's party contained more than the specified number of gentlemen and that the extras were there for no other reason than to come to the rescue of Mitchell, should he need it, created big stir, and the feeling among Americans that Sullivan would not have fair play was strengthened. Following quickly on this was the movement of Harry Bull, final stakeholder and John L. par ticular friend, who took party of men to guard Sullivan. In one particular has the latter crowd the advantage f the other they are more numerous, f. oth are what are called bruisers. N
 All sorts of rumors were circulated about the fight. One was to the effect that the fight has occurred and that Mitch. Ills neck was broken. Another rumor is that eleven rounds were fought and that Mitch ell retired with a broken jaw. A cable gram from Paris was received by a promi- nenI sporting man, whose sources of i'm formation have generally been found reli- able, which stated that the fight had come off and that Mitchell had been knocked out in the second round. These rumors were of course knocked out by the dis patches this afternoon, and now sporting men believe the fight will be a fizzle.
 AMIENs, March 9.-Sullivan and Mitchell arrived here this morning. Mitchell claimed to have suffered terribly from the voyage across the channel and is in no con- dition for 6 battle with the champion. Two detectives who have been following the party from Boulogne are still watching the party, and the prospects of fight are dubious. It is believed by SuIiivan's back CTS that Mitchell will gladly avail himself of any pretext to avoid meeting Sullivan The fight now is fixed for tomorrow.

 Close of a Marvellous Reign.
 BERLIN, March 9-The Emperor William died this III orning at 8:3O, ill the presence of his ministers and members of the royal faml- fly. His end was peaceful.
 The conflicting telegrams sent out through misapprehension caused confusion in all the European capitals. The German embassies everywhere have been besieged by the nobil- ity and by all classes anxious to learn of the emperor's condition. The fainting fit experienced by the kaiser at 5 o'clock led to the summoning of the whole family and the ringing of church bells to announce the fact that the last sacrament was about to be ad- ministered, and this led every one in the city to believe that the end had come
 Though the emperors illness has been con- sidered serious since sarly on Wednesday morning the news that he is SO near the grave comes on the community like thunderbolt Everybody supposed till yesterday afternoon that he might rally.

 The illness, however, took an alarming turn on Wednesday morning. Sleep was not to be obtained The appetite failed. There were new and distressing affections of the mucous membrane of the throat, with pain full abdominal disorders and an irritation of the eyelids not experienced hitherto The loss of the natural and refreshing sleep, fol- lowed by long periods of comatose slunber, by an inability to take proper nourishment and by serious diminution of strength, marks a condition which even the cautious language of official bulletins could not con- ceaL
 Nearly everybody in Berlin able to get out of doors was ill the streets, eager to learn the scraps of unsatisfactory information which could be ohtaine from the messengers hurry ing from the palace to the reichstag.
 It seems now from all that has happened, that the royal and imperial family have been given to understand from the first that there was scarcely tho slightest hope of recovery. The Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Baden andthe Crown Princess of Sweden were i'm mediately summoned by telegraph.
 In his last hours the emperor seemed to have had but one wish and that was to see his inv lid son once more The crown prince was noti- fed that his father was ill, but was not given to understand that it was serious much less fatal His doctors tee yraphed back that he would be able to be brougi here tomorrow, unless unfavorable symptoms which could not be foreseen should set in. The emperor tried to look pleased when this information was given him, but his smile was sad, as though he knew that Saturday will probably be too late, and that he would never see his boy again earth.
 It is impossible to describe the effect of the anxiety which has pervaded this capital dur ing the last twenty-four hours otherwise than stupendous. All the theatres are closed, and the streets, notwithstanding the bleak and most unpleasant weather, are crowded with throng of human beings, the most marked

APPEALING TO THE COURT
TO COMPEL THE WABASH ROAD TO
 HANDLE "a" FREIGHT.

What Chief Sargent Has to Say About
 This New Move of the Railroad Off,
 cials-If the Court Grants the Request
 . General Strike Will Result.
 CHICAGO, March 9.-Yesterday big peti- tion was filed in the United States court by counsel for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad. It set forth the history of the strike, with the grievances of the road, and wound up by praying for an injunction against Chief Arthur and the Engineers Brotherhood, as well as an order on the Wabash road compelling it to handle Bur- ington freight in discharge of it's duty as a common carrier. The order issued by the court covers the ground of the bill and shows the specific matters prayed for therein.
 MT. Sargent of the Brotherhood, when he heard of the action, said that an injunction, if it was granted, would have no effect on the strike, as far as the engineers and fire men are concerned "Chief Arthur" he said. ''does not order strikes. He does not order men to quit work, and has no power to do so. An injunction against him. therefore, to re- strain him from ordering the men to disobey - the orders of the FGad employing them would cut na figure whatever"
 The difficulties of the Wabash line are in creasing. The Burlington appears to be de- termined to draw that road into the vortex along with itself, and it is nearly sure to do so. If the court to-day grants an order re- quiring the Wabash, its agents, officers and emp4oyes to perform its duties public carrier, as respects traffic with the Burling- ton, then general tie up of the Wabash road must follow.
 General Manager Stone, of the Burlington, said the Wabash was selected as the first to be punished because it was in the control of the court The evidence against the Wabash Is very conclusive, for not only has the road refused to accept Burlington freight here, but also at the various junction points. The Burlington company has, as yet, taken 10 action in regard to the other roads which have refused to handle their freight, but MT. Stone says if the proceedings against the Wabash do not have the desired effect, that similar action will doubtless be brought to bear on them.
 CEDAR RAPIDS, la, March 9.-Two engi- neers on the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern road refused Wednesday to haul freight which had been loaded in Chicago, Burlington and Quincy cars, but was not re- ceived from or consigned to the Burlington road. President Ives, who had acceded to the demand that the road should not haul 'Q." freight, decided that this was going too far, and nIs u4timatum was to haul tnose cars or none at all. The engineers side tracked their engines and qnit
