The Dead Emperor.

has been settled yet, as all depends upon
the orders of the new Emperor. The
will will not be opened before the En-
peror's arrival here, butt has transpired
that Emperor William expressed wish
that his funeral should be without any
pomp. The city presented, yesterday, a
scene OF deep mourning. Sorrow was
depicted on every face, and the streets,
especially those near Linden Avenue,
wore very mournful appearance. 1t
was quarter to 8 when the news was
first made known to the crowd. At
first the news was not believed.
but when the purple imperial standard
was seen to be at half-mast, there was
no longer room for doubt. From this
moment the crowds swelled rapidly and
in quarter of an hour a living mass
of several thousands stood on Inter
den Linden and thousands more came |
hurrying to the Spot from sill parts of |
the city. Deep emotion was visible on |
the faces of all, but it was evident that !
the event had been long expected and |
that the people were prepared for ii. |
The crowd soon increased to |
such an extent that detach- |
ments Of poice were sent to |
keep people out of the place, and |
they closed Inter der Linden, and the
square in front of the palace to traffic |
and pedestrians. On the palace the
purple standard was flying at half
mast, but on the Crown Princes palace
there was no flag. All at once, att
O'Clock, the imperial standard rose |
slowly. The windows were opened ana
there seemed to be great preparations
going on for the reception of the new
Emperor. Extra editions eff newspa-
pers. which gave detailed accounts
of the Emperor's last hours, were
rapidly sold, and the shrill cries
of news vendors made a strange con-
trasC to the general silence and sadness.
a few minutes before 10 o'clock cannon
shots were heard. It was the mourn
ing salute of the army which rolled like
thunder over the city, while ell church
bells tolled s0lemnly. Meantime car
rage after carriage brought different
persons of rank, who came to offer tneis
coincidence to the unhappy Empress.

PARIS, March 1O.-With few excep- :
tons, which meet with general con- 7
tempt both newspapers and citizens
here have done themselves credit by
the dignity with which they received
the news, and the moderation and JUS
tice with which they judge the dead l
Emperor. Thsre is further feeling of
satisfaction in seeing the Crown Prince
ascend the throne, whose heroic suffer

BERLIN, March 10.-The North German II
Gazette says: The deep sorrow in which o.
the death of the r pperor has sunk the -
German nati3n casts q dark shadow,
not only on our own national feeling, CT
but far beyond, on the character of the T
whole international situation. Europe In
recognized and revered the Emperor as :,
a faithful and powerful protector of d.
peace. Although no 6,
honest man can doubt that His ~
and unchanged, every cody u
feels the wide gap which the disap- a.
pearance of his dominating personality ~
leaves behind. One thing can be 81 y
gathered with the greatest certainty N
from the signs Of cordial sympathy in ~
which the Acknowledgements and a.
English papers have wed with each ~ ~
other, and from the still more touching VI
attitude of Italy, that Germany does -,
not stand alone in her sorrow. We are ~
convinced that proofs of sympathy " "
from abroad will reach even greater " "
