Daily Mail reiterates the story Of En-
peror Williams insanity with startling
fr1ankness. mentioning his majesty as
being the sovereign previously referred
to as pinching his guests and trying to
trip them up with his sword. The writ
er says the fact is. that there is now
no doubt that the emperor, if not spe-
officially insane. is subject to fits of
alteration. which, while they last. are
indistinguishable from madness. His
local arrangement behind the ear and
almost in contact with the brain has
hitherto it is added, been kept in safe
limits by treatment which provokes
a constant discharge. While the dis
charge lasts the pain is not very great,
! and the Inflammation and sw- ia .
| the affected parts being relieved, there
is nothing either intolefable or alarm
ing. But, it apepars, it has lately be-
come increasingly difficult to maintain
the process, and the result is combi-
nation Of pain. eXcitability, depression

Continuing, the writer says that no
Hohenzollern is allowed to ascend the
throne or keep it who is afflicted with
