FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
GERMAN CROWN PRINCE DYING
While the Doctors wranElo About HI.
Caso-FavOrAbIO but DsoeiviuE Reports
Sent to the Emperor MaoksnziS'S
ProtoSt-O Gable Matters.

LONDON, Feb. l6.-A dispatch from
San Reno to-day says that DR.. Macken-
zle has protested against the course OF
treatment pursued by the German doc.
tors In the case Of the Grown Prince
Frederick William.
The disagreement existing between the
physicians attending the Grown Prince,
relative to the nature OF his mslady and
the character Of the treatment it should
receive, are particularly unfortunate in
view Of the patent fact, despite the pre-.
ponderancs Of favorable reports issued
from San Reno, that the heir to the
throne Of Germany is rapidly approaching
his end, whatever his disease may bo.
From the time that the Grown Princess
ailment assumed serious aspect until the
present moment there has never existed
any doubt in the minds Of two-thirds Of
the thinking people OF Germany that the
eldest son and heir OF the venerable
Kaiser was afflicted with cancer, and
probably had DR.. Mackenzie not been en-
trusted with the conduct OF the case there
would hsve never been any public dlfcus.
sion Of the question affecting the charac.
ter Of the disease from which he suffered.
From jealousy OF tho English specialist
on the part Of the German doctors sprang
q feeling Of distrust Of each other until
the German physicians became almost as
hopeleBsly divided in opinion-expressed
II not really entertained they were as
body against their English rival. The
variety OF reports purporting to state the
condition Of the patient, which were sent
out from time 10 time served TO mystify
the public and keep thom as entirely In
the dark as 10 the Grown Princess actual
chances Of recovery as his physicians
were with regard to the nature Of disease
and the treatment required.
Meanwhile the patient has been stead
lily sinking, but the unfortunate and al
most criminal jsalousles OF the leading
doctors have increased, until the discus-
sion Of sbstruse medical questions for the
purpose OF belittling the reputation OF
one doctor to the aggrandizsment OF an
other eeems with them paramount to the
matter Of alleviating the suferiugs and
saving the life OF the patient. II the most
recent reports Of the condition OF the
Grown Prince may be relied upon-and,
since they are unfavorable there Is no
ground for doubt Of their corectness-the
operation OF tracheotomy, though succsss-
fully performed, has resulted in no last
ing benefit to the patient; yet the con-
troversy between the respective adherents
to the perichondritis and cancer theories
shows no signs OF abatement. The ques-
ton whether the patient is afflicted with
one species Of generic disease or another
ia nf rnuNh laaa infaYaak IN tha nnhlip
whose anxiety for the patients recovery is
sincere, than is the painful, though per-
fectly plRin fact, that the Grown Prince is
suffering from an incurabls malady and
slowly but certainly dying.
