 Favor of Equality of Race and Rel1s-
 ion and for tho Jews.
 PROVIDENCE, March 1.-The following has come by Commercial Cable to the New York Times:
 BERLIN, March 1S.-Kaiser Frederick Will liam issued his proclamation yesterday. It says: Unconcerned for the splendor of glor-
 ous deeds I shall be content if it can be hereafter said that my government has been beneficial to my people, useful to my coun- try and blessing to my empire. There is no talk about Germany's reliance on it's own strength or menace to foreign powers. It promises reform, but in the general rather than in the parliamentary sense, and there is nothing 10 indicate that the new Emperor has any more intention oflimiting the pow CTS of the Reichstag and Landtag than his father. The proclamation indicates that pro- lection has been ovsrdone and speaks against the idea of State socialism. It declares in favor of race and religious equality, and is taken to mean not only the preservation of peace with Rome, but equality for the Jews. This is in direct antagonism to Bismarck and Herr Stockes and an indirect censure of Prince William, who has been associated with the latter in his anti-Jewish crusade. The Emperor passed good day and slept we'll last night. He declined to be carried to his apartments in q sedan chair on his ar- rival and ascended the stairs of the palace two steps at time. His voice is audible but very hoarse. It is taken by everybody that Prince Bismarck will remain at the head of affairs, but some resignations from the army are expected. The Duke of Cambridge and Lord Wolseley will attend the dead Em- psror's funeral on the part of the British army.
