UNAVOIDABLE COMMENT.
VIENNA, June 1S.-Viennese Opin-
ions of Emperor Williams proclama-
tions are not very favorable. The Neue
Free Pree, in a cautious article, says:
Frederick, as aVictorious general, had
no need of boasting. William, on the
other hand, was only boy when the
great battles which established the
German empire were fought" The
Tagblatt thinks that Germany's
loss is irreparable and says: 'Freder-
lex aspired to freedom and progress.
lOgy of militarism such as has rarely
been SEEM" The Fremden Blatt says
it hopes thatEmperOr William 8 only in
tention is to strengthen the warlike
character of the army and establish Or
der and maintain peace.
LONDON, June 1S.-A dispatch to
the Standard from Paris says: EN-
peror Williams proclamation has sent
a cold shiver throughout France. u The
National says: 'tThey Will edlfy the
world. They are the utterances not of
a pastor, but slayer of peoples"
BERLIN, June 1S.-The Cologne
Gazette has again signalized itself.
The issue announcing the Emperor's
death had only narrow black border
and since then the paper has not ap-
| peared in mourning. All the other
| papers appear in mourning daily.
The first full declaration of the new
emperor's policy is now understood as
| taking the form of an address to the
Prussian people. which is expected to
be issued on Tuesday. The relchstag
will be summoned to meet June 10Th
to review the message and shortly af-
forwards the emperor will formally
take the oath of the constitution be-
fore the lantege. Speculation has
been already busy regarding the tenor
of the emperor's address to the people.
Officially nothing is known of its char
acter.
The remains of Emperor Frederick
were placed in a coffin tonight and
then carried to the catafalua, which
had been erected in the Jasper gallery.
The coffin is identical with that in
which Emperor William was buried.
The impression in the ministerial
circles is that Count Won Moltke was IN
the mortuary chamber this afternoon.
Later he was received by the imperial
family.
| Professors Virchow, Valdeye and
Bergman went to the Friederickskron
palace at the request of Emperor
William and remained for two hours.
Their presence gave rise to an accu-
rate report that Emperor William had
ordered post-mortem examina-
ton to be made, although the
doWager Empress Victoria was
averse to it, but public feeling in Ber-
| lin distinctly favored the holding OF
such an examination and the supposed
abandonment of the plan caused a
renewal of the excitement against Dr.
Kenzie, who was charged with omit
ting an autopsy in order that he might
prevent final authoritative report as
to the true malady from which the
emperor died. Besides the doctors
who conducted the autopsy Count Won
Stolberg Wernigerode and Count
Chamberlain remained during the ex-
dU1l1dJlOH WHICH, plONCO OAAO CAAoSOASO
of cancer.
The funeral service was read in the
Jasper gallery by Chaplain Koege. at
the head of the bier a black baldachin
} has been erected, while around the
calobalk are humorous foot stools,
Prince and Princess Henry personal
iIy superintended the arrangement;
all the members of the imperial family
| were present at the services. The
transfer of the remains to their final
resting place will take place on Mon
day morning.
Among those who have already ar
: rived to attend the funeral are the
King of Saxony, the Grand Duke of
Hesse and the Duke of SAKE Weimer.
