Must Be in Serious Condition-Ail
Germany Alarmed.

Berlin, Dec. 6.-Gloom is apparent on all
sides over the conuition of Kaiser Will
helm, due to the alarming condition Of his
throat
No oficial-statement regarding the con-
dition Of the Emperors wound can be
obtained. and the lack of such a statement
has only served to increase the public
1t has been officially stated, possibly
with the purpose of allaying public anx-
iety that His Majesty will make his first
ton on his throat on Dec. Is at Hanover,
where, 1t was said by member. Of the
court, Saturday he intends to review the
parture for the South is now fixed, pro-
visionally, for Jan. 5.
The leading shopkeepers here have been
in a panic over the fear that there would
be no court functions at ALL this winter,
in which case many of the nobility would

but that the Emperor is likely to advance
them before their usual dates.

Schmidt, who is attending the Kaiser,
circles of that city. says:
"All those who ought to know are any
thing but confident in the Emperor's
speedy recovery. They. regard the illness
in a very different light from that shed
upon it by the press in general
THE Emperor is very much depressed,
and his general health has given way
good deal"
A famous throat specialist of Vienna.
who has devoted much attention to the
Emperor's maady. said. Saturday:
From the duration of the Kaiser's con-
valescence and from Professor Schmidt's
three weeks stay. and also from other in
cidents ineligible to the professional
mind. it is perfectly plain that cleavage
of the larynx has been performed and no
surgeon decides upon such an operation
unless there is a growth of a pernicous
character.
IAN order has gone forth from the
court here that no Viennese surgeon is
to express an opinion on the case. but at
professional gatherings no reliance is
placed on the assurances contained in the
published bulletins

There has been a slight Improvement in
the river during the past few days SO that
the TIollingsworth & Whitney Co. was
able to run two of the three paper ma
chimes, Saturday, and a part of the grind
ers. Some water has been stored in the
ponds by parts of the mill being shut
down, and this with the slight rise gave
enough to keep the wheels moving after
fashion. The other departments were
running. so that the drouth was not felt
so badly as earlier in the week. But
there has not been near enough rise yet
and the situation has improved but little.
When the rain does come a good many
are looking for serious trouble with the
ice. 1t is now Just about right to do dam
age with small rise of water. 1t made
with the water so low that a small, quick
rise will be sufficient to break it up in
gocd shape. 1t is for the most part good
solid black ice from four to six inches
thick, and thus of just the right charac-
ter to do harm if once broken up and
turned loose.
