HAVE KIND WORDS
FOR DEAD EMPRESS
Her Former Enemies Now
Praise Her Good Qualities.
PREPARE FOR FUNERAL
GREAT CROWDS OF PEOPLE ARE
ARRIVING AT CRoNBERG.

Berlin. Aug. 1O.-AH eyes in Ger
many today are turned on Hamburg
/ Public interest in the deceased dow
/ ager empress during her widowhood
/ had been slight and she did everything
/ possible to retire from public view
( and avoided every semblance of poll
/ teal activity. The latter fact has
I SOftened the Judgment of even the IN
! bending Junker organs, which once
/ prosecuted her majesty, assailing her
most sharply when at the very acme
/ of power
/ Inc death reveals the fact that the
/ extremists had largely modified their
/ Judgment, or at least had ignored their
J points OF dlnerenCeS- They praise her
for her humanity, her tender nursing
/ of the sick in war, her interest in in
/ dustrial art and the practical advance
/ she made in these lines. They also
! praise her activity in promoting fe-
/ male education and in the advance of
I women The most conservative papers
I praise the latter feature Of her char
acter of "reminiscences, pointing out
| that the deceased was one of the last
( links binding the Germany of today
/ with the great historical events of
/ thirty or forty years ago.
While the nation has thus been en-
gagged in recounting the story of the
life Of the dowager empress, her rela-
tlVeS have been assembling at CrOn-
/ berg for the funeral. King Edward and
Queen Alexandra arrived there today
/ and Prince Henry of Prussia, VINO is
now steaming up the channel is eX-
pected TO arrive at BremenhaVen Sun
day or Monday, too late for the SER
vices at CrOnberg, but in time to at
tend the burial at POtsdam.
Great crowds of curious people are
arriving at Cronberg. All the hotels
there are overlooking and all the win
berg is Overrun with English people
+. in deep mourning. King Edward,
with Queen Alexandra, will 90 to
POtsdam- Then his majesty will re
turn to Hamburg alone, where he Will
take the waters, living at his accus-
toned hotel in the same style as when
he was Prince Of Wales.
Coffin Of the Empress.
The coffin of the deceased dowager
empress, which has been sent from
Berlin TO CrOnberg, is of the English
style, with a fat cover, not the Ger
man pyramidal style. The deceased
herself designed the rosettes Orna.-
menting the cover, and also designed
the coffin The train which is 10 bring
the funeral party to POtsdam has been
prepared at Frankfort. The car WhictE
VIII carry the coffin is trimmed with
English mourning cOlOrs, lilacs and
white. and is richly ornamented with
in and without Other cars have been
provided for the funeral party.
The emperor has been as busy as
usual with the affairs of state. He
worked at his office nearly all day yes
terday. and then late in the evening
took a walk in the park with Count
Won BuelON.
Papers of various shades of opinion
give expression to the complaints of
theatrical people and musicians at
the order issued for the closing of the
theatres until the funeral is over, and
print letters TO the editor, mildly
protesting.
While Field Marshal Count Won Wal
dersee's Arrival 10 Germany was nat
urally overshadowed by the SAD event
a Cronberg, the whcSe tone of the
press and the attitude Of the crowds
during Count Won Waldersee's trip yes
terday from Hamburg to Hanover in
dicateS that Germans take a much
more sober view of Won WaIdersee's
mission now than was the case q year
ago. The more influential papers re-
view the field marshals work appre-
ciatively, but implying that everybody
in Germany had formed exaggerated
notions Of the task before him.
Tells Of Chinese Experience.
Won WaIdersee is described as deep
" brOnzed, but as having the same
elastic step and buOyant spirits. Yes
friends welcomed him on his way to
Hamburg. While the train waited. Won
Waldersee entertained them with his
Chinese experiences, which called forth
roars of laughter
The field marshal wi. dine with En-
peror William at the Hamburg schloss
today. He VIII return 10 Hanover to
morrow. It is understood that Won
Waldersee's reappOip as inspector
OF the Third army corps is in accord
ance with an arrangement with his
majesty prior to the field marshaPs de-
parture for COnstantin0ple.
The weeks tariff discussion took
largely the form of a sharp attack on
the part Of the agrarians and conserv-
atiVe organs upon a semi-officfaI news
agency tor the continued publication in
the foreign press of attacks upon the
bill. Some Of the holder papers 90 to
the length Of openly attacking the for
elgn office as being responsible. since
ali the political dispatches are censored
there before publication, insinuating
that Count Won BueIow 5 insincere in
his tsrim bill attitude and is now try
ing TO kill il.
The United States continues to play
an important role in the tariff discus
sions. The kreuz Zeitung today quotes
approVlngly the declaration of the
chamber OF commerce Of Eupen (Rhen-
ISL PruSSia) that Germany must exDect
to be flooded with American goods. The
kreuz Zeitung adds that the domestic
industry is threatened by keener for
eign competition, especially American.
adding:
The greater the danger the more
urgent and ineXOrable the demand that
the home market be surrounded with
firm protection The United States it,
self precedes US in this respect with an
example impossible to misunderstood . !
