The journal de ST Petersburg says: THE
death of Emperor William IS not less deeply
gretted In Russia than ia Germany. The Rus
sian dynasty loved the deceased Emperor a
friend who was found the post of duty

the first part of his reign. and knew how to de-
vote the remaining two-tbirds TO the preserva-
tion of peace. He died co cred with imperish-
able glory and surrounded by his subjects love,
universal venerarion and admiration"
Other papers exsol the deceased for his nobie-
minded qualities and speak of him a great
patriot and victorious commander. They COM
ment upon the turning point in political affairs
which they consider the Emperor's disappear

the most serious reflection. The Novoe Vremya
asks: will not the we'll know influence of the
Empress Victoria over Emperor Frederick affect
the political omnipotence which Prince Bismarck

question of actual government, in the interests
of united Germany. may be settled without

Expressions of Leading Berlin and Other
European Newspapers
BERLIN, March 10.-The North German
Gazette says: 1.-The deep sorrow in which the
death of the Emperor has sunk the German
nation casts dark shadow, not only on our own
national feeling, but far beyond. on the char
acter of the whole international situation.
Europe recognized and revered the Emperor as
a faithful and powerful protector of inter
national peace. Although no honest man can
doubt that his Majesty's influence will live on
unweakened and unchanged every bocy feels the
wide gap which the disappearance OF his domi-
mating personality leaves behind. One thing
can be gathered with the sersatest certainty
from the signs of cordial sympathy in which the
Austro- Hungarian and English papers have
WED with each other, and from the still more
touching attitude of Italy-that Germany does
not stand alone in her sorrow. We cons

sDeciaI to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal
LONDON. March 1O.-In spite of the outward
signs of mourning there is vast deal of re-

perial throne of Germany, bringing, as IL
does, the consequent attainment of Princess

Prince of Wales, the twenty fifth anniversary

ceived ftome his boon companions and
friends convivial congratulations upon
his sisters having reached the 1ong-looked-
for goal of her ambition, coupled
with complimentary expressions anent the COM
pletion of his twenty-ffth year of married life.
Even the servants at Marlborough House were
infected with the prevailing spirit, and in the
exuberance of their rejoicing over the double
event they presented the Prince with costly
silver pitcher. This afternoon the corporation
of the City of London presented to his
Royal Hiehness a gigantic silver model of the
proposed imperial institute, weighing / 900

The young Prince William has ceased-tempo-

Prince Regent of Prussia. The proclamation

This il the situation in brief There have
been conflicting statements concerning the con-

well-informed Germans differ as to the facts.
Those set forth above authoritative. They

mantary evidences. The question of succession
has also been raised. and several well-informed
correspondents az London and Berlin have
stated that in the event OF the death of the
Grown Prince after becoming Emperor his wife
would become Queen Regent.
This is mistake. No woman can govern the
German empire When Bismarck welded the
German states into an empire he founded the
empire upon "A constitution In which there are
no flaws. so far as the election of it's Emperors

William Of Prussia. on the imperial throne.
and he arranged that his beloved Prussia should
always have its King Emperor of Germany.
