FROM EMPEROR WILLIAM

Berlin, Aug. IA proclamation by
Emperor William in the Gazette today
in part said: Since the foundation of
the German empire it has been the OBJ
iect of myself and ancestors to pre-
serve the peace of the world. Adver-

TENNESSEE OFF
WITH S6,OOO,OOO
Warship Carrying Gold to the
Relief of Americans in Eur
ope Left Last Night.

New York, Aug. Z. - The armored
cruiser Tennessee, converted for the
time into a treasure ship, left port at
9:45 o'clock last night to carry mil
lions in gold to the many thousand
Americans who are in want in Eu-
ropean countries
When the cruiser nosed out to-
ward sea in the darkness she had on
board about $6,O0O,OOO in gold-$S,0
600 from the Bankers Trust Company,
S2,75O,0OO appropriated by congress
and about 100000 intrusted by the
paymaster's care by personal friends
of individuals abroad. OF the latter
sum nearly 100000 was received yes
terday.
More such funds are expected to be
placed with the treasury authorities
here, and it was regarded as likely
that a second shipment of gold would
be sent, probably on the cruiser North
Carolina.
Two million dollars intended as part
of the Tennessee's money cargo did
not go. Bankers arranged that it be
held here against money that may be
drawn by the French ambassador in
Washington for the current needs of
his government. The French govern
ment has deposited with ]. P. Morgan
& Co. through their Paris house, Nor
gan, Harjes & Co., 3O,O0O,000 francs
about S6,OOO,0OO, which has been
placed to the credit of the French
government.
The Tennessee is a comparatively
slow cruiser 1t is believed it will be
ten or twelve days before she reaches
England. Bankers representatives
interested in the Tennessee's ship
ments are planning to sail on the
American liner st. Paul for Liverpool
today, hopeful of making connections
with the gold cruiser at some British
port.
Washington, D. c., Aug. Rapid
progress was made yesterday toward

formed the president the patient could
not recover and that death was mat
ter of hours only.
The president bore up bravely un-
der this shocking intelligence. He
Immediately broke, the news to his
daughters, who were less prepared
than he to bear it, as they had not
been given to understand how gravely
i'll their mother was.
From that time on the president and
his daughters remained in the sick
room Through most of the long vigil
the president sat by the side of his
wife, holding her hand and returning g
the smiles that she gave him as long
as she retained consciousness. Not
once did she betray any lack of cour-
age.
One of those who knew what went
on in the sick room said that Mrs.
Wilson's last hours were an inspira-

Devoted Aid of Husband.
Mrs. Wilson took an active interest
in the career of her husband, in his
contests with congress over legisla-
ton and the numerous official duties
with which he was burdened.
Throughout life she was his constant
helprneet and companion. Her clear
Judgment on political affairs and
broad views of educational questions
was a source of qualification to him
for years.
With her help he wrote his books
and on her judgment he relied.
Mrs. Wilson was woman or simple
WAYS. possessed of a naive, magnetic
manner. She had a faculty of putting
her guests promptly at ease and was
n charming hostess. She was ever
democratic and modest in her tastes.
Honored In Congress.
Prior to adjournment the house Of

expressing sorrow. and adding:
Resolved further. That a commit

Mrs. Wilson was so years old and

was in robust health. The place or
burial will be either Rome. Ga, her
childhood home. or Princeton, n. j.,
where the family lived for 20 years.
