The government report , in all the neatness
of hl.s official form , and signed by nearly all
tjio great specialists , Austrian as well as
German , except English , comes as a great
shock to all the Germans. Fifty thousand

quickly exhausted that several correspond

iiuthoi Hies. It is generally taken as provid
ing first that Kaiser Frederick might proba
bly bo still alive had there not been n gross
blunder in tlio diagnosis. Tlio extremists

that the cancer Itself was caused by
that perpetual Irritation 6f thu tnroat tissues
which came from repeated attempts at extir

that the Isolation of the royal

effect and did actually make the case nope-

Journey to refuse , utterly without reason , the
urgent request of thu aged Kaiser William
for n last visit from his son , while en route

not forcibly eject n chamber constitutionally

even if ho wished to dg harm , the republicans
agree , his following is so insignificant now
Unit he would bo iKHverless ,

may tell the general that they uro getting

Lo Paris sajs all that Is sincere , generous
and republican will henceforth deny him ,
while in the independent Matin , M. Joseph
Kotimch , hitting out without gloves , says
plainly : "He has chosen to bo a rebel. So

Each led is nlno Indies long and the end of

thickens out into a quarter-section of n

HIIII.IS : , July II. ( Now York HuraW
Cable Special to Tnr. Hit : : . ] Thu pjiiuca '
dinner to thn foreign diplomats Is worth'noiue
further description , ns It Is Uio first o.t-lls
type , so far as I Can discover , slneo thu fouh ' '
dation of the empire. It was given at tha
royal city castle at Potsdam. To It were la
vlted all the heads of foreign mission * or
their temttornry represcntatlyes. In this-
latter class , owing to his absence , Minister
Pendleton , of the United States , bud 119 hid
representative Chapman Coleinnn , his chargq
'
d'alTuirs. Tho'se Invited went in n flpoqial .
train , wlmcdalong at such a rutu that lt
usual forty-five minutes travel wus shortened . -
to twenty minutes. An array of court car-
riuges met thu train. Oncu inside the castW
there was a wait of a few minutes while -th
kniser talked with a few of these cmbussa *
dors best known to him.
At 7 o'clock the kaiser , walking along- .
ahead of all his guests , led the way to Uio
dinner table. In the mtirbla room was n long ,
narrow Uiblo With short \yings at each end *
At thu middle of the nmin tublo sat tt ; < J '
kaiser with the ambassadors of Italy and
Austria nt his right and loft , tie ) rqst being' '
ranged bj seniority near him. Opposite.tho
emperor , nnd inside Uio horseshoe- , was tha
coming chancellor , Count Herbert Hlstmirclc. ,
Elsowhuro by seniority were arranged' tha
ministers and charges in their order ; Tha. '
empress , as can easily bo understood , , will
not present.
Thcro was a barely observable pausp afto *
the kaiser had seated himself bo.foro hta
guests followed his example , but .so perfect ' "
were the arrangements that ouch of the ftf.ty
diners found his pluou without hurry or
or delay , in spita of the quick movement *
of the young omporor. The taUlo'.scr1
vlco was of silver , nnd the decorations ot
flowers were small and unobtrusive ; ' '
Nothing else was placed On the tnble. .Nor
were the ineats carved , ln the dining room' . ' .
Tliero Were u few wlno glasses and.it'little . ; ,

without outside ornamentation. The inside

clear prints. Huskies the bill of furu it has
only the date , "Pottsdam , July 13 , 1888 , "
und above this a crowned Imperial eagle ,
which may bo rouirhly described as. perched
inside u wishbone , from the upper und ol
which hang streams of gold ,
The dinner itself was exquisite und served
with the highest nit that is , so promptly
and so skillfully that theiro was no conscious
ness of how or by whom it was served.
Tlio kaiser looked remarkably well , talked -
with animation , and ute with his usual rather
impatient hnsto , seeming to euro little for
either eating or drinking , but taking evi
dent pleasure in the perfect service ,
The general atmosphere of good
taste , the most noticeablu point of
the dinner to an onlooker , was a chnngo
from thu rather barbarotis luxury of dinners
ut the former court , and the diners instead
of wearing the bored faces of forced attund-
unts at a state ceremony , looked rather an if
they thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Ona
of the diplomats told mo ho Would like to
dlno In the saino way dally , while otlieru
said that it was a ploasuiesucli as was never
experienced before.
About 8 o'clock thu kaiser rose , nnd all ,
followed him to form a circle In the neigh
boring room. There his majesty apoko to
each about some topic conncctod with h !
homo. To the Mexican minister ,
for instance , about the recent Hoods.
If it shows un.vUiing , this dinner
promises not only u luxurious , briUhint court
Mich us was expected , but beyond thatna
amount of good tusto that-Is surprising la
the emperor , who Ls so thoroughly a soldier.
Perhaps , also , to Judge by thu smoothness
with which this ili'ht state ceremonial passed
nftt that the emperor has something of Ms
grandfather's ability to bclcct the right inaa
for the rife-lit place ,
