KA|SER'S VOICE
ALMOST CONE
Emperor William May Never
Recover Full Use Of
Vocal Cords
CAN SPEAK ONLY IN WHISPERS

The Kaiser Postponed His Offer For
a Cup For Trans Atlantic Yacht
Race As the Easiest Way Out of
Tansle.
Berlin. Nov. 3O.-Disquieting reports
about Emperor Williams condition are
current The vocal cords are rorma-
nently injured. it is asserted, a. a,
best the emperor can never fully re
cover his voice. 1t is poidsed out that
such result does not follow the -
moyal of an ordinary polypoid growth,
and it is explained that the emperor
put OFF the operation too long. The
emperor is described as looking ex-
ceedingly Ill.
Lord Lonsdale. who spent six hours
with him talking over the transoceanic
yacht race, for which the emperor de-
cided to postpone offering a cup on ac-
count OF his health, says the emperor
was very cheerful. but unable to speak
except in loud whisper.
Although the reasons Of Emperor
William for Withdrawing his offer of
cup for a transatlantic yacht race
are regarded by his yachting advisers
as sufficient. there we're other consid-
erations that made withdrawal of the
trophy for next season the easiest way
out of a tangle caused by the inability
Of the New York Yacht Club and the
Atlantic Yacht Club to agree on the
subject.
The original purpose Of Emperor
William was to have the race for the
cup managed Jointly by the New York
Yacht Club and the Atlantic Yacht
Club, of both of which clubs he Is a
member. and the Royal Yacht Squad
ron of Cowes and the Imperial Yacht
Club Of Kiel. Previously Sir Thomas
Upton had offered a cup to the At
lantic Yacht Club for an ocean race
in 1904, but learning that Emperor
William desired to give trophy, Com
modore Tod. of the Atlantic Yach
Club, sent a cablegram to Sir Thoma
asking If he would withdraw and per
4 NIT the emperor to offer a cup. ST
Thomas on October 27 telegraphe
Emperor William his withdrawal, an
the emperor. supposing from 81
Thomas telegram that everything ha
been arranged in the United State.
replied to Sir Thomas on October q
thanking him for his masnanimity
saying that he would have his ambas
sador offer a cup.
The inability of the New York Yach
Club and the Atlantic Yacht Club 4
agree with regard to the matter wa
met by a proposal made by Empero
William last week that he would Civ
a cup in 1904 TO the Atlantic Yach
t, Club. provided the New York Yach
Club would enter its yachts in tn
race, and one to the New York Yach
Club IN 1905 for race in which tn
, Atlantic Yacht Club would enter. thu
avoiding Joint management Of tn
cups This was not satisfactory q
the New York Yacht Club. and the EN-
peror, therefore, withdrew his oissr
as the time is now too short TO sc
new boats ready for a race next year.
