announcement of the presidents re-

calm and so wonderfully self-possessed,

inspiration of the hour and the mans
singular and splendid fate, and l know
that he was the creature of a will even

solemn conviction that he was looking
upon the next president of the United

BERLIN, June 1S.-The following is En-
peror Williams proclamation in full;
'To Ny PEOPLE-God's decree has once
more plunged us into the most poign-
ant sorrow The tomb has scarcely
closed over the mortal remains of my
never to-be-fOrgOtten grandfather, when his
majesty, my warmly beloved father is also
called from this life into everlasting peace.
The heroic energy, prompted by the Christian
self-sacrific with which, despite his sufferings
he knew how to fulfill his kingly duties, seemed
to justify the hope that he would be preserved
to the fatherland still longer God willed diff
ferently. The royal sufferer, whose heart beat
responsive to all, was great and beautiful lie
only had few months granted to him to dis
play on the throne the noble CAPABILITIES of mind
and heart which won him the love of his peo-
pie. The virtues which adorned him and the
victories which he achieved on the battlefield
will remain grateful remembrance as long as
German hearts beat. An imperishable glory

tory of the fatherland.
Called to the throne of my fathers, have
assumed the government looking up to the
King of kings, and have vowed to God that
after the example OF my father l will be just
and clement prince to my people, that / will
foster piety and fear of God; that will protect

people, which glance at our past history gives
me. In good and evil days thu RUSSIAN people
have always stood by their king ZEE Upon this
fidelity, which my fathers have found an indis-
soluble bond at all times of difficulty and
danger, rely with a consciousness of return

strong in their devotion to their COM

the reciprocated love uniting me and my
