KAIsER'S DEATH
 MAY COME SOON

LONDON, April 25.-The Morning Post gives prominence to dispatch from it's Washington correspondent, who cables a report given on the au- thority of German bankers in Ameri- ca who are on most intimate terms with the German Government that the German Emperor is fatally i'll with Bright's disease. Death is expected within the next few months.
 The Emperor, according to the cor respondents informant, has for some months past been in depths of de- pression. The efforts of his physici- ans to encourage and rally him have been unsuccessful. and the disease has so completely fastened itself upon him that recovery is impossible. The cor respondent adds:
 with his death. according to the German bankers, the house of Hohen- zollern will lose the throne of Ger many the crown prince being known to be a moral degenerate. and the Ger man people could not accept him as their soverign. Either Germany will become a republic or a limited con- stitutional monarchy, the real power being exercised by a parliament elect ed by universal franchise. t is the opinion of the German bankers. know ing the conditions existing in Ger many, and the temperament of the people. that unless there should be a sudden uprising. which they do not expect, constitutional monarchy rather than a republic would be the outcome.
