v
Empress, accompanied by Dewager
Empress Augusta and Grand Duke and
Grand Duchess of Baden, visited Jasper
Gallery this morning. While they
were assembled around the bier of the
dead monarch, Chaplain Kogel offered
a brief prayer. Access to the gallery
was prohibited to the public until the
ROYAL party departed. The post mortem
examination was confined to the neck,
larynx and lungs. In the larynx which
was found to have been destroyed
by supuration, was cavity about
) the size of the clenched fist. DR.. Nc
Kenzie states, in the report which he
prepared at the commend of Emperor
William, that the disc .se was beyond
doubt cancer of the laryn1. He adds
that diagnosis was rendered difficult, as
the disease attacked the cartilage of the
laryn1 at the outset, and afterwards
developed chiefly in the lower part of
the cartilage. The National Zsitung says
| the autopsy proved that the larynx was
completely destroyed by cancer and
that putrid bronchitis existed. There
was also Inflammation of the finer
ramifcations of the bronchial
tubes, into which the putrescent
particles had entered. The whole larynx
was in q state of suppuration and was
SUIT, lumpy mass, with scarcely trace
of cartilaginous structure remaining.
There was nothing to show the exist
ence of perforation of the walls separat-
| ing the trachea and 8soplagus. The
choking sensation from which the EN-
error suffered during the last days of
his life, which was attributed to such
perforation, appears to have been really
due to the destruction of the cartilage.
The direct cause of his death is given
as paralysis of the lungs.
