BrRIiN, March B.. Tho imperial family
has ceased TO hope for the recovery Of tho
crown prince. The first results OF tho
microscopic examination by Prof. Wald-
meier, as communicated To the Emperor,
are unfavorablc, disclosing traces OF cancer
In the pus arising from necrosis OF tho
cartilage Of the larynx. The full Official
rport Of Prof Waldmcier will be delayed
until DR. Recklnhauscn makes an analysis.
DIR. Zimmcns will probably also DO
requested 10 examine the pus. Apart from
the results of the examination, court dis
patches confirm the progress Of SYMPHONIC
tending toward a fatal issue. The occa-
sional appearance Of improvement is fol-
lowed by renewal Of the grdycst indica-
tons. Thus on Thursday the crown prince
seemed stronger and in greater spirits, but
during the following night there was an
access OF diauhea, with slight ieyer. Tho
newspaper reports from San Reno conflict.
While the Ndiionai Z,ihug avs the pa
tent is sleeping well, that his spirits aud
appetite are better, and that he holds HIM
sell erect the Boscn Courier aud Aonf-
dcuischc Ieiitmg on the same day report
that he had bad night.
The decrease in his strength has caused
a saddening change in his aspect, aud has
transformed him from robust into am
aged and dehilitatod man, WHO'S obviously
suffering. Tho conflict Of reports does not
weaken tho fact, based upon absolute in
formation, that In the highest official quar-
ter every hope has been abandoned OF his
recovery.
No Immediate crisis IL expected, but it
" recognized that n sudden change ior tho
wOrso may occur nc anv moment, involving
his death II tho disease should bc per-
mittcd 10 run is full course The crown
prince may be able 10 return 10 Berlin i'm
May and pass his last days there. Tho
question Of the period OF his return will Ia
The only subject having the rcmotcst
political bearing that will be discussed
during Prince Williams presence al sam
Reno, and tho decision arrived at will
depend upon the personal inclination
OF the crown prince and princess,
combined with the advice OF tho
physicians. Since his family have rccog-
niScd that fatal issue Is most probable,
the crown prince has expressed an urgent
desire Ia return 10 Berlin ~ soon m pOssi-
bic. lie has stated his intention Ia meet
the Emperor, who. IN coinciling with tho
crown prince, has rclinquishcd his pro-
posed journey Ia Ran Reno. Tho rcspitcs
from suffering that the crown prince OBJ
tains encourages confidence that he will 10
able 10 return Ia Berlin. II he Is iatcd 10
die suddenly at san Reno, he has every
thing ready. lie has written his will and
prepared political statement for his sue
ccSsor.
The presence Of Prince William NJ tho
villa has checrcd his mother and the prin-
ccEes.
Comments adverse 10 Prince William
continue 10 BE- heard In Berlin society.
Significance is attached 10 the fact that
none Of the family met him NJ San Reno
station, where he arrived from Genoa in
company with Prince Henry, his brother,
anil Prof. Bergman. lie was received by
the project, the mayor AMI the German
consul. This arrangement was duo
10 tho crown prince, who sent
instructions 10 Prince William at Car,sruho
that Prince Henry with Dr. Bcrgmann
would meet him, the obvious object being
10 enable him Ia gain full knowledge Of
the condition OF his father before seeing
his mother and sisters. The crown princess
with the princcssc- awaited him within tho
villa. II Is understood that ho
received the warlDcst welcome and
that many tcgr were shed during
the interview. Twenty minutes after his
arrival the crown princess accompanied
him 10 meet his father. During yesterday
and today Prince William has been with
the crown prince on the balcony, and
there was every appearance Of cordiality
between father and son. The reports ot a
GOODNESS In their relations are chiefly trace
able Ia French sources.
The relations Of Russia with the allied
powers arc taking Developments exactly 10
were forccastcd In these dispatches. Tho
diplomatic proposals Of Russia have re-
suited In nothing definite. What is dcii-
mite. however, II the frantic eagcrncss u
Russia 10 obtain war loan and her cease
less preparations for war.
Tie discomfort among tho commercial
class In Russia and the fall In the value Of
paper roublcs will weaken the Cars con-
troll Of affairs and lead him 10 a complete
submission 10 the war party, who otcr
him the alternative OF facing the fctolu-
tionary party.
A faint giimpse Of peace Il got IN tho
action of the Gar Ia inirusting his brother,
the grand duke Vladimir, with the routine
dealings between the ministers and tho
Gar. The wife Of the grand duke, princess
OF Mccklcnberg II sioadiast German and
SWANS the duke in opposing the war party;
but the grand dukes character Il illhued
10 cope with Ministers Tolstoi, Nannoysh
and fobledonostcn, who are now guiding
the Gar.
