LONDON, Oct. 14.-There are many
points of similarity between the last
lays OF the Gar and the closing scenes
n the life of Emperor Frederick of
Germany.
The savage hostility of the German
iOctors to the presence in Berlin of Sir
MOrell Mackenzie, who was called from
london at the eleventh hour to attend
he late Emperor, has parallel, for ex-
lmple, in the reception in St. Peters
lurg of Prof. Leyden, the eminent
5erlln specialist, who has been sum-
nOned to the bedside of the Car. In
ach instance the foreign physician is
referred because he processes to be
BILE to cure what the native doctors de-
lare to be hopeless case. Emperor
frederick was removed, as last resort,
San Reno, the main purpose being
0 get him away from the German doc
Ors, and to morrow the parallel will
q further emphasized by the depart
re OF the Car from Livadia, en- route
the Island of Corfu in Greece, where
will be possible to keep the Russian
hysicians at arms length.
The Germans blamed the Empress
frederick and her English relatives.
furthermore, when the monarchs ill
ess developed itself, the Germans at
nee aScribed it to a Russian faint in
is blood, inherited through his mother
'om her grandfather, the debauched
nd crazy Car Paul. Now the Rus
ans believing that their sovereign is
wing of cancer, declare that he in
erited it from his grandmother, the
life of Gar Nicholas, who was
russian princess and the sister of the
tie Emperor Frederick. The Russian
apers enlarge on this hypothesis by
hitting list of this lady's defendants
no died of cancer, and call attention
the fact that it was cancer which
lied the Cars grandmother and her
other, the famous Queen Louise of
q Napoleonic epoch.
