BERLIN, March 1.-THE authorities,
military and municipal, are unani.
mously congratulated by the press
upon the circumstance, that after one
Of the greatest public pageants ever
seen, there is no record of accidents.
The intense anxiety over the condi-
ton OF Emperor Frederick already
overpowers the impression of
Yesterdays sombre magniicence.
In the highest official Cir
cles the question asked is not what
the Emperor's policy may be, but how
long he will live to disclose any
policy. Wanton gossip attributes his
intention to change Of personnel OF
the Government as opposition to
Prince Bismarck. In reality SO far as
the Emperor has yet done anything
he has simply confirmed the official
status everywhere. Nothing indicates
any 10 Material change in the Government
or the external or internal policy of
Prince Bismarck.
BRAVE MAN.
The Emperor, though able to work
continuously for several hours, works
under knowledge of his own sentence
of death, and knowing that his doom
is so near understands that it would be
folly to try to modify the policy of his
predecessor. His only daily con-
sultations are with trusted friends
of the Chancellor. The official
audiences fixed for to-day were post
poned on account of the Emperor's
absorption in the preparation of State
documents. He is interested in
working, against the advice of his
physicians. In reply to their remon-
strances he is reported to have said !:
'My time does not belong to me.
I cannot take the time"
PRESS COMMENTS.
The Cologne Gazette, commenting
upon the Emperor's order under
consciousness of approaching death,
calls him martyr in the highest
sense OF the word, and says: "a hero
unfinching on the field Of battle, he
is still great hero in doing his ut
most duty while facing the inevitable
result of his dreadful malady."
The latest Reich Anzeiger bulletin
says: despite the excitement Of the
past few days the Emperor is free from
fever, and no complications have
made their appearance. .
THE PROCLAMATION CRITICISED.
Further discussion Of the proclama-
tion shows confused diversity of its
reading. The Conservative press re-
fuse to interpret the passage of the
legislation as disavowing the service
of Bismarck's social and economical
projects. The Progressive journals
take the same passage as indicating
clearly the profound intimacy
between the social poll
cies of the Chancellor and
Emperor. With reference to the rights
of the Reichstag according to the
press the proclamation marks the de-
Termination Of the Emperor to respect
the voice of the people as expressed
by their representatives. Conserva-
tive and National Liberal papers con-
slider the tenor of the proclamation q
mortal blow to the hopes of the Pro-
gressive party who expected declara-
tion in favor of parliamentary re-
gime. Every one concurs in a SYM
pathetic criticism of the proclamation.
