WILHELM'S MALADY.
Fears for the Emperor Disturb the I'm
 perial Family.

peria1 Family.
 BERLIN, Nov. I2.--A painful tragedy is at the present moment being played within the walls of the royal palace at Potsdam For years past the emperor has been haunted by the fixed idea that he would die of the same malady as his father and mother.
 When two months ago he began to complain of pain in his throat terrible anxiety seized the empress and her chil- dren. She summoned Dr. von Leuthold and asked him to examine her husband without, however, exciting his anxiety, The first examination only showed the existence of nnmber of granulations. The emperor nevertheless became more somber and more taeiturn. He spoke less and had fewer of those accesses of charming, frank gayety which render his company so agreeable.
 The discordance of his voice accentu- ated, and in the morning and evening especially he was extremely husky Princess Carl of Hesse, who came to Berlin for the unveiling of the monu- ment of the Empress Frederick, was in formed of this by the empress and on returning to Darmstadt addressed her self to Professor Moritz Schmidt.
 The latter after an examination diag- nosed g 'geschWuelst,'' < or tumor, of the vocal cords. He saw from the horror stricken face of the empress that, far from reassuring her, this medical ex- pression only augmented her fear.
 By fatal coincidence this was the very expression which had been en- ployed in the first bulletin published re garding the malady of the Emperor Frederick. It is for this reason that in the following bulletins issued by Drs. Moritz Schmidt, Ilberg and Von Leut- hold the word s.stimmlippen' was used instead of .'stimmbaender" (vocal cords) and .sgutartige poIyp,'' or benig nant polypus. instead of s'gesch- wuelst," or tumor. These synonyms were chosen in order not to further alarm the emperor
 The imperial family opposed the idea of making the fact Of the operation public. The emperor opposed this idea with all his force.
 My people have the right to know the state of my health,'' he declared. T desire they should be told the whole truth"
 Now the imperial family feels more reassured There will, however, be no absolute certainty regarding the health of the emperor until four or five weeks have passed.
 If in that time the wound is com pletely cicatriZed and the extirpated polypus does not reappear this will prove that there was only the question of an excrescence without importance produced by an excessive strain of the voice by public speaking and without relation to his general state of health. If, on the contrary, which is infinitely improbable, there is question of a can cerous affection all hope will not even then he lost
