FREDERICK's WINDPIPE.
A Belief That 1t Has Been Attacked by
Local Complaint.


BERLIN. April 13--The North German
Gdsette says that owing to the contraction
of the air passages of the Emperor's throat,
Prof Bergman yesterday inserted new
canula. The Emperor's general condition
was not affected. After the insertion of
the canula he remained in bed. 1t is be-
level that the contraction of the air pas
sage indicates that the trachea has been at
tackled by IA local complaint.
The statement that the Crown Prince and
Princess did not attend Princess Victoria's
birthday party last night was incorrect.
Both were present.
THE TILT.
Semi-official accounts in the press regard
ing the differences between the Emperor
and Prince Bismarck are at variance. The
following facts are known in the highest
circles: AT the close of the recent inter
view with Prince Bismarck, the Emperor
intimated his intention of inviting Prince
Alexander of Battenberg to Berlin to confer
an order upon him and to appoint him to a
command corresponding TO the rank he
formerly hold in the German army. The
Chancellor protesting against such step
as inexpedient the Emperor declared that
he would abandon his intention. The mat
ter was regarded at Cnarlottenburg as set
tied and there was great surprise when. a few
days latter, Prince Bismarck forwarded a
memorandum to the Emperor stating at
length his reasons for opposing the be-
trothal and saving that he must resign if
the Emperor didn't accept his advice. The
Emperor at an interview Wednesday de-
clined to permit the Chancellor to resign.
WON'T BE REVIVED.
There is now absolutely no foundation
for the hints appearing in the press that
the betrothal project may at no distant
date be again brought forward. Such
contingency is out of the question in view
of the character of the personages con
cerned and the political situation. The re-
ports that Prince Hohenlohe and Count
Won Hatzfeldt, Minister TO England have
been sounded as to their willingness to sue
ceed Prince Bismarck are untrue. The
Emperor has not for n moment contemplate
ed the possibility of the Chancellor resign
ing.
The recent conference between Count
Herbert Bismarck and Crown Prince Will
lam in the waiting room of the Potsdam
station had nothing to do with the question
of the betrothal of Princess Victoria to
Prince Alexander, but referred TO the es-
tates Of the imperial family This matter
has been arranged to the entire satisfaction
of all concerned.
MADE TOO MUCH OF
ST. PETERSBURG, April 13.-The Moscow
Gazette says Prince Bismarck exag-
gerates the Importance Of the Battenberg
incident and in so-doing he commits an
error, as Russias whole attention is being
directed Westward and not Eastward"
Chief Director Of the Compton d. Es-
compte Of Paris has arrived here TO conduct
the negotiations for the advancing Of a loan

AMICABLY SETTLED.
LONDON, April 13.-The Berlin CORES

that the marriage crisis has been settled
