tended by all of his physicians, who were
anxiously watching for the slightest
change in the royal patients condition.
The Prince and Princess William, Prince
Bismarck, Count Won Moltke and Minister
Won Putkammer, were present at the
palace. A large crowd blocked the street
outside. Although a death-like stiffness
prevailed, the greatest eagerness was
manifested for fall information from the
royal invalil's chamber.
