EMPEROR WILLIAM.
HIS EAR MALADY GETTING VERY
TROUBLESOME.
The Disease Pronounced IncurabIe-
The Consequences Likely to
be Most Serious,
Special to the REcoRD-US1ox.


NEW YORK, March 14.-Yates' letter
to the Tribune from London saws: EN-
peror Williams recent extravaganza and
alterations, which so troubled his family.
are attributed at court to the fact that
his ear malady has been very trouble
some lately, and that he has suffered
many paroXysms of the most excruciat-
ing pain. The ailment appears to be
getting worse, for the attacks now recur
with increasing frequence, and it is pro-
nounced to be incurable. The conse-
quence is likely to be most serious.
At a fancy dress bail which Emperor
Williami gave last week at the Schloss in
Berlin, the melancholy and formal fjlnc-
tions being conducted on the lines OF a
military review, he was arrayed in the
uniform OF the Frederick the Great CUR
aSsierS, which is blue and white. with
powdered hair and pigtail. A company
of the Imperial Guards similarly attired
went through the ceremonies of full
dress drill of the last century, when the
Emperor entered and Saluted the EN-
press in quaint manner, which was de-
vised by Frederick. The Empress, who
wore costume Of the last century with
powdered hair, looked exactly like the
portrait of Queen Charlotte, at Bucking-
ham Palace and Windsor. The Emperor
selected the costumes and drew up the
programme, and he watched the dancers
with the air of o drill Sergeant inspect
ing squad of recruits. If "a guest makes
the slightest slip at q court ball the EN-
peror not only laughs loudly, bat audi
bly,. criticises the unlucky person to the
military encourage, who join in the mer-
riment, as in duty bound.
For nearly forty years Punch has been
regularly taken at the Prussian royal
palaces in Berlin and Pottsdam. En-
peror William has just issued private or
ders that Punch is to be stricken off the
list of journals which are supplied TO
him and the Empress. Frederick, Prince
Henry of Prussia and all members of the
royal family who are in the habit of read
ing the English Journals have been de-
sired by their autocratic relation to dis
continue the obnoxious periodical. 1t is
understood in Berlin that the Emperor
wrath has been excited by some joculaI
| illusions to his oratoricaI indiscretions
which recently appeared in Punch
The Queen has decided very wisely that
all birthday functions are 70 take place as
usual this year, in spite of the deep
mourning of the royal family The date
fixed for the official celebration of hel
birthday is May 2Sth. The Queen intends
to spend her birthday at Balmoral.
Sir William Harcourt's eyesjghtis now
in such an unsatisfactory condition that
the grayest apprehensions are entertained
! by his friends. Sir William has beer
| troubled about his ewes for nearly two
years past, and more than eighteen
months ago went TO Wiesbaden for sew
eral weeks IN order to consult oculists
| there. Eminent specialists who have
lately been consulted have not given z
| very favorable report on the case.
