BERLIN, March 10.-To the details of the
Emperors death already telegraphed to the
Associated Press it is almost impossible to
add. but an incident at once notable and
reliable is the story of the Emperor's last
recognition of his family. About Z o'clock

ment's termination by giving him a glass
of wine After swallowing the wine he
stroked his moustache, as it was his custom

EmpressS" The Duchess replied: Mamma

his head, intimating that he understood the

Of the new Emperor toward Prince Viii

issued to-day it is directed that the oath OF
allegiance be taken by the troops without

FREDERICK AND CARNoT.
Emperor Frederick, in his reply to Presi-
dent Carnot, alludes especially to the marks
Of sympathy shown him by the numerous
French visitors at San Reno, and expresses
the hope that the relations between France
and Germany may continue friendly. This
response was sent direct from the Emperor
without consulting with Bismarck. During
bis interview with King Humbert at the rail-
way station at San Pier d Arena this morning
the Emperor exhibited unusual animation
Several times he tried to speak, but failed,
but he kept up the conversation by means
Of little slips of paper, upon which he wrote
with pencil. On one of these which eS-
