personages, visited Jaspen Gallery this
morning. While they were assembled
around the bier of the dead monarch, the
chaplain offered brief prayer and ac
cess to the gallery was prohibited unit
the royal party departed.
The post mortem examination was con-
fined to the dissection OF the neck and
larynx and lungs. In the larynx, which
was found to have been destroyed by
suppuration, was cartilage about the
size of a clenched fist. DR.. Mackenzie
states in the report which he prepared at
the command of Emperor William that
the disease was beyond doubt cancer Of
the larynx. He adds that a diagnosis
was rendered very difficult, as the dis
ease had attacked the cartilage of the
larynx at the outset and afterwards de-
veloped chiefly in the lower part OF
| the cartilage. The National Zeitlng
says the autopsy proved that the larynx
was completely destroyed by cancer and
that putTid bronchitis existed. There
was also inflammation Of the bronchial
tubes, into which putrescent particles
had entered. The whole larynx was in
q state Of suppuration aud was soft,
lumpy mass, with scarcely trace of the
cartilaginous structure remaining. There
was nothing to show the existence of the
perforation oi the walls separating the
trachea and esophagus. The choking
sensation from which the Emperor suf
fered during the last days OF his life,
which was attributed to such
perforation, appears to have been
really due to the destruction of the
cartilage. The direct cause OF death is
given as paralysis OF the lungs. An I'm
perial decree has summoned the Reich
stag to assemble on the 25th. The cere-
monies at the Castle Freiderichskron to-
morrow will begin with performance OF
Bachs' Bald Rufst dt Meme HocheR
fTedeR," then the choral Jesus Meme SN-
uefsich," will be sung and the
| chaplain, will offer prayer and
bless the remains. After the singing OF the
| choral IVeRR ich einmal soil scheiden"
the coffin will be carried out of the castle.
During the removal of the body the
choral 81 Know that my Redeemer
Liveth," " will be sung. Church bells
toll from the time the funeral procession
enters Erederickskirche and again after
the firing OF an artillery salute. 1t will
be removed from the catafalque by
twelve officers of the body guard and
borne on a funeral car, escorted by the
Court Chamberlain. Ministers of
State, bearing the insignia OF
royalty, will join the procession.

THE FRENCH PRESS.
PARIS, June l7.-Most OF the Paris
papers regard Emperor Williams orders
to the army as having warlike tone,
contrasting singularly with the rescripts
OF the other Frederick. Some journals,
notably the Ecoie, which has a moderate
article, view the Emperor's language as

Prussian people will be decidedly pacific.
a RUSSIAN VIEW.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 1S.-The
Journal de 81. Peiersburg in an article on
the probable foreign policy of the new
German Emperor, says: "He will be
guided by that good sense that charac-
terized the two preceding ones" 1t ex-
presses the hope that the memorable
hopes Of the late Emperor William on his
death bed, will be regarded as a sacred
legacy by the grandson to guide Ger
many's relations with the Russian
| trouble.
COMMENTS OF ENGLISH PAPERS.
LoSDoN. June 1.-THE Daily Ne,cs in
leading editorial this morning expresses
the opinion that Emperor Williams
| proclamation was uncalled for. We might
have expected more humility in an older
sovereign, but the spirit in which the
| young Emperor addresses is of less inn
portanee than that with which he re-
ceived Bismarck's IS counsel and advice.
The Times SAYS the proclamation is
worthy OF the Emperor and the tradi-
lions Of his house. The spirit in which
he addresses the army and navy Is not
necessarily to be regarded as warlike.
and still less as aggressive. Germany is
an armed nation, and only as such, under
existing circumstances, can she maintain
unity and power. The Emperor has great
power, but not enough to be able TO
hurry war with light heart, against the
wishes Of his people.
VIENNA, June Vienna's opinion Of
| Emperor Williams proclamation is not
very favorable. The Nec Free Presse, in
a cautious article says: Frederick, as a
victorious general, had no need of boast
| ing. William, on the other hand, was
only q boy when the great
battles which established the Ger
man empire were fought" The
| Idgbldh thinks that Germany's loss is
irreparable, says Frederick aspired to
freedom and progress. The new EN-
peror manifesto is an eulogy ofmiltarism
such as has rarely been seen. The
freur DenoiaH says ithopes that Emperor
Williams only intention is to strengthen
the warlike character OF the army, estab-
lish order and maintenance. Special
sermons were preached to-day in the
