BERLIN. Feb. 1S.-The official bulletins, which
conflict with private adviees, state that the
wound in the Crown Princes throat heals, but
his condition is worse. His prolonged insomnia,
neuralgia in his bead, his cough and constant
expectoratlon combine to weaken him. The
medical and general press TEEN with discussions
to the nature or the malady without reliev-
ing the pablo mind of the of imminent
danger. The Klinische Wochenschrift, in pub
fishing the report Of Prof. Virchow con-
corning the Crown Prince, appended
statement issued under request follows:
''In the discussion which the Crown Princes
lapse, in November last, called FORTH it was
announced that the view then expressed, to the
effect that the discharges pointed to the exis-
tence of a soft cancer, was based solely upon the
opinion pronounced by the doctors. This iucor-
rect Interpretation caused sensation among
the physicians at San Reno The truth is. that.
besides particles of food and pus only epthelium
elements were found in the discharge. None of
the physicians at that diagnosis pronounced the
disease to be cancer" .--.
The Klinische Wochenschrift thinks that this
statement, combined with the Virchow report,
should diSpel the prevailing anxiety, but it has
not done The National Zeitung, the Tage-
blatt and other papers concur in expressing dis
trust of the medical optimlsts' view of the
fact impossible to conceal is that the malady
has made rapid progress.
To-day the Crown Princes condition was un-
changed The weather has been against him
being excessively cold. with seer and snow yes
day, but rather milder to-day. DIR. Bergman
now lives at the villa md watches every phase
or the disease.
A telegram from San Reno dated midnight,
says: 1.-THE Crown Princes cough is better, but
he is troubled with phegm. He has no head
ache. He rose at IL o'clock this morning and
took exercise in his ROOM His voice tested
and was found to be much stronger. He is not
allowed to talk yet.
The Klinische Wochenschrift of Berlin in an
article on the condition of the Crown Prince
approves the report made by Professor Virchow.
in which he says the particle couehed up by the
Prince was a dead. decayed portion of the
surface, leaving the cavity of depth. in some
places. OF four millimetres He found
nothing to indicate a process in
volvine gangrene he did not see either
pus corpuscles or suppurating cells. In most
places he found nothing pointing to the presence
OF any foreign substance Rather large por-
ton Of the particle coughed up was de-
tached from an almost indurased spot
and had the form and appearance of
fat wart. in which, when cut open, a
solid, whitish kernel, with darkish. rather
eye. Within this kernel the microscope re-
vealed clusters of epidermoidal cells, many of
which had become homogeneous. The report
draws conclusions as to the nature OF the
disease.
Much excited talk prevailed in the Hobbies of
the Reichstag regarding the intention of the
government to propose regency bill, until the
reports received an effectual quetus by the pri-
vate official declaration that no regency was con-
templated. The splendid health OF the Emperor
shelves the question of the regency for the time
being The rumors which appear from time to
time in Progressist papers, to the effect that the
Emperor is feeble and has continual fits of cry
ing over the Crown Prince, are nonsense. At
the semi-public reception to the officers of the
Russian Kaluea Regiment yesterday the
Emperor looked as vigorous as before his
illness of last year. The household
officers describe him as working with the activ-
ity Of ten years ago. He devotes fourteen hours
daily to his duties, beginning at o'clock in the
morning and retiring at IL p. NJ His valet
awakes him at A. NJ. and he drinks cup of
tea before arising. He breakfasts lightly at
$3.50. and at receives reports-frst that of the
president of the police department., followed by
that of Herr Nilmowski chief of the civil cabi-
net and then that of General Albedyll. He
lunches at 1890. the meal generally con-
chicken and glass of Bordeaux. He holds
audiences till o'clock, when he goes out for
drive. He returns at 4, and grants more in
terviews till 8. when he dimes. He
work from till 2. and afterwards INDUCES in
social converse till 10. when tea is served after
argent business before going to his bedroom.
His fondness for work and elasticity of mind
strike his encourage marvellous. If the
Crown Prince gets worse, the Emperor will go
to San Reno His physicians have advised him
not to venture on the journey before April, but
ton show that it il mis- :nten ton to start the
ment the Crown Princes danger becomes acute.
