SERIOUS DISEASE OF THE KAISER.
The Liverpool Courier states that Lon
don physician has received from his brother
in Berlin grave accounts of an ear disease
from which the Emperor of Germany is
suffering. At present the disease has not
penetrated beyond the ear, but it is feared
that, in spite of all the efforts Of the sur
geOns il is destined 10 reach the brain. and
in that case there is no need To say what
will ensue. II is believed that the restless
ness of the Emperor is due partly 10 the
irritation produced by the disease, and
partly by the dread Of its further develop
ment.
GRAVE CHARGES AGAINST STANLEY.
The Globe. in leader, referring to the
biography Of BarttOlOt, says the book Is not
only vindication Of a brave soldier and
gentleman. who died at the post of duty.
but also formal indictment before the
court Of public opinion OF another English
man, whom Englishmen hold in honor,

tarnished and impaired. The question
is how far Stanley is answcrable toi
the fate of his second in command, and
whether he did or not cndeaVOr 10 blacken
his lieutenant's reputation 10 save his own.
STANLEY, according 10 BartellOts biography
