Declares ithe Trouble Only R Question Of Benignant Connective Issue Poly pus-August Patient wiiI Not bs Able to Speak for Week or Until the Wound Heals -. Berlin, Nov. s.-Emperor William yesterday underwent an operation for the removal of a polypus from his larynx The operation was performed by Professor Moritz Schmidt and was entirely successful. The only inconven- fence suffered by the patient is that he has been enjoined not to speak until the wound caused by the operation has been healed. The bulletins announcing the result of the operation caused much astonishment, even among court offi- cials, who had no suspicion that the emperor was suffering from any affec- tion of the throat. The emperor does not appear to have known of the growth in his larynx, and until a few days ago it is not thought he suffered any dis comfort from it. The following is an authorized ac- count of the operation as given to the North German Gazette:
 ''Potsdam, Nov. T.
 "TIis majesty to-day underwent an operation for the removal of polypus from his larynx. The operation was performed by Professor Moritz Schmidt and was most successful. His majesty is only enjoined not to speak until the wound caused by the operation is healed (Signed)
 Won Lenthold,
 Schmidt,
 "Ilberg. '
 The North German Gazette also pub fishes the report of Professor Johannes Orth, the famous cancer specialist, who succeeded the late Professor Virchow in the chair of pathological anatomy in the University of Berlin. Professor Orth made microscopical examination which shows that the polypus consisted Of a very soft connective tissue contain ing very few cells. This tissue was covered all over with a scaly epithe- Hum, sharply defined from the tissue. A portion of the connective tissue cells contained fine brown augmented gran ules. which evidently were the result of former slight hernorrhages. The poly pus also contained a large number of thin-walled corpuseles. Tt is, there fore.' says Professor Orth, "only a question of benignant connective tis- sue polypus."
 The Court Circular this morning made the following announcement: s'The emperor yesterday went for 8 walk No guests were invited to lun- cheon or dinner yesterday, but Count yon Buelow, the imperial chancellor, will be the emperor's guest at luncheon to-day.
 The emperor received Count Von Bue- low at noon to-day and afterward lunched with the empress and the count in his bedroom. Count Von Bue- low found the emperor as chatty and animated as usual. The emperor wore dressing gown instead of coat. He took liouid foods and did not indulge in the courses served. His general health has never been so good. He has not felt the ear affection which troubled him for years and has quite outgrown the nervous trouble that formerly inn pelled him to incessant physical activ- ity. It is stated that the emperor will continue to receive visitors of business. The growth in the larynx at once sug- gested that the emperor might be suf- fering from something worse than a simple polypus, but Professors Von Lenthold ,Ilberg, Schmidt and Orth supplement the bulletins, in replying to inquirers by the most positive personal declarations that the affection was merely a 'good natured polypus," " which is not likely to return or to be followed by any evil effects.
 The following bulletin was issued this morning: "The emperor spent yester- day quietly in his room. He slept throughout the night without interrup- ton. The appearance of the small wound Is satisfactory, and there is no pain or other discomfort in the throat. His majesty's temperature this morn- ing was 36.3; pulse 6O'
