first results of the microscopic exam.
ination by Professor Waldeyer, as
communicated to the Emperor, are
unfavorable, disclosing traces OF can
Ger. The full official report of Profess
or Waldeyer will be delayed until DR..
Recklinghausen's analysis is added
which forms part of the result of the
examination. Court dispatches con.
firm the progress of the symptoms
tending toward fatal Issue. The oc-
casional appearance of improvement
is followed by renewal of the grav-
est indications. No immediate crisis
is expected, but it is recognized
that a sudden change for the
worse may occur at any moment
involving death. II the disease
should be permitted to run it's full
course the Crown Prince may be able
to return to Berlin in May, and pass
his last days there. The question of
the period of his return will be the
only subject having the remotest po-
litical bearing that will be discussed
during Prince Williams presence at
San Reno, and the decision arrived
at will depend upon the personal in
clination OF the Grown Prince.
HE WISHES TO RETURN.
He himself has expressed an urgent
desire to return to Berlin as soon as
possible. He has stated his intention
to the Emperor, who, coinciding with
the Grown Prince, has relinquished
his proposed journey to San Reno.
The respites from suffering that the
Crown Prince obtains, encourages the
confidence that he will be able to re-
turn to Berlin. Ii he is fated to die
suddenly at San Reno, he has every
thing ready. He has written his will
and prepared a political testament
for his successor. The presence
of Prince William at the villa
has cheered his mother and
the Princesses. Comments adverse
to Prince William continue to be
heard in Berlin society. Significance
is attached to the fact that none Of
the family met him in the San Reno
station, where he arrived from Genoa
in company with Prince Henry, his
brother, aud Professor Bergmann.
He was received by the Prefect, the
Mayor, and the German Consul. This
arrangement was due to the Crown
Prince, who sent instructions to
Prince William, at Carlsruhe, that
Prince Henry, with DR.. Bergman,
would meet him, the obvious object
being to enable him to gain full
knowledge of the condition of his
father before seeing his mothers and
sisters. The Grown Princess with
the Princesses awaited him within the
villa. 1t is understood that he re-
-ceived the warmest welcome and that
MANY TEARS WERE SHED
During the interview. Twenty min
utes after his arrival the Crown Prin-
cess alone accompanied him to meet
his father. During yesterday and to
day Prince William has been
with the Crown Prince on
the balcony and there was every
appearance Of cordiality between the
father and son. Reports of GOODNESS
in their relations are chiefly traceable
to French sources. The French papers
vie with each other in malicious in
fentions. During the journey from
Carlsruhe Prince William obtained a
number OF French papers, and was
excited to anger by the stories in
them Of his selfish intentions toward
the Crown Prince and his disregard of
his fathers sufferings. Throughout
Germany public interest in the news
from San Reno grows in intensity
and the people of Berlin await the
dispatches with the same eagerness
and agitation as would be shown if a
campaign involving the fate of the
nation were in progress. Extra edi-
tions are rushed out, and the papers
are excitedly read and discussed by
groups on the street.
:, To-DAY's SAN RENO REPORT SAYS:
s.The Grown Prince passed a fairly
good night. There is no change in
his condition as regards coughing and
shifting. He feels stronger this
morning in consequence OF good day
Yesterday. The weather is brilliant,
and he will again sit awhile on the
balcony tO-Oay.
BISMARCK HAD A LONG CONFERENCE
With Emperor William, it is sup
posed with reference to the proposal
to grant Prince William power to sign
in the event of the temporary inca
pacity of the Emperor, concurrent
with the prostration of the Grown
Prince. The Grown Prince differs
with Prince Bismarck on the question
of regency of this character. 1t is
reported that the Emperor accedes to
the proposal, admitting the force
of Prince Bismarck's plea that
q simultaneous illness of him
self and the Crown Prince
might create confusion in the manage
ment of public affairs. The Emperor
is careful to show himself every day,
either driving out or appearing at the
window of the palace. This helps tc
calm the general perturbation.
THE RELATIONS OF RUSSIA
With the allied powers are taking de-
velopments exactly as was forecast in
these dispatches. The diplomatic pro-
posals of Russia have resulted in moth.
ing definite. What is definite, however
is the frantic eagerness of Russia te
obtain war loan and her ceaseless
preparations for war. The Revolu
tionary organ, the Suobodoi, declares
that war rapidly approaches and pre-
diets the conquest and ruin of Russia
and the submission Of the Slavs tt
Germany unless the policy of the
Gar is replaced by free national man
agement of public affairs. However
much he may be averse to war, the
internal discord Of Russia will soer
force the Czar to risk the future of the
Kornanof dynasty by challenging th'
Central powers.
