BERLIN. March 2.-The influenza
has taken hold Of the people Of Berlin
with a strong grip. The muddy wealth
er appears to have favored its spread.
In fact, according to statistics Of the
local sanitary bureau, three quarters
of all sickness in the city at present
is due to influenza. The epidemic has
apparently taken the frmest hold of
the well-to-do classes.
1t is also noted that the complaint
which was at first of a mild character,
has grown much more dangerous and
the number of deaths from influenza
and it's complications this week has
reached several hundred.
In the reichstag the usual attendance
dropped to about forty, some $50 mem
berS either suffering or recovering
from the attack. The total number Of
cases in Berlin is estimated from 10000
to 10000. Among the sufferers are
the two vice-presidents Of the reich
stag and numerous court officers.
1t also develops that Emperor Will
liam has just recovered from a mild
attack Of influenza.
U. S. Ambassador Runyon has also
suffered from a mild attack Of the
disease.
AS foreshadowed some weeks ago.
the emperor has convened state
council for March 18th, the main pnr-
pose being to devise means to aid the
agriculturists of Prussia who, espes-
tally in the eastern provinces, are
heavily depressed in financial condi-
tion as a result of foreign competition
in grain and cattle.
