Fotsdam, June 15.—In accordance with the wishes of the late Emperor and of the Empress, Etuperor William II. has ordered that the funeral be held Monday morning. The obsequies will be devoid of pomp und will he uf a military character. Owing to the limited accommodation the attendance will necessarily be very small. It is, under stock that a general period of mourning of six weeks will he proclaimed. All public amusements will he suspended until two days after the funeral.

Brunswick, June 15.—The Norwood- Gordon-Nichols contest has dragged itself wearily along through all of today without apparent change. Up to the hour of ad journment this afternoon 278 ballots were taken, each resulting as follows; Norwood» 20; Gordon, 12; Nichols, 8. While, as already said, there has been no apparent definite result, yet the caucusing during the day has worked a decided change in the situation. The delegates supporting < Not wood unanimous y agreed that even if i the convention should continue in session three weeks longer they would remain soiid for their candidate. In other words they agreed to support nobody but Norwoods subsequently their action became known and their determination was not without its influence upon other delegates. Those from Wayne determined to go to Norwood to-mor row. It is undrstood also that those from at least one other omiositiou county will also join the Norwood forces. If t is should turn out to be trne the Nichols men will scatter, some going to Norwood and some to Gordon. The result will be the nomination of Norwood. In fact, there does not now seem to be any doubt but that Norwood will be nominated before 6 o’clock to-morrow afternoon. There will be some livelv fun »iter the convention adjourns. In the neighborhood of Savannah, at least, one newspaper man will he drugged out by the nominee and given a notoriety that will not be pleasant. Out-tide of Chatham countv the nomination of Norwood will cause no kicking. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. Brunswick, June 12.—[Special]—The conven f ion opened to-day at 9 o’clock. The eighty-fifth ballot stood, Norwood 18, Gor- dou 12, Nichols 8. The Camden delegation was absent. Its delegates shortly afterwards appeared and were applauded. The ballot then resumed its usaul strength. When the one hundredth ballot was reached the Nor wood men celebrated the event by a demon stration ot loyal dalight. The one hundred and eighth ballot showed up without change. No « hange has been effected and none will be without a fight. What will come it is impossible to say. Gordon will be supported loyally, and no dark horses are in favor. He needs 1,423 votes more to rea h the goal. Norwood’s only hope now is that the conven tion dissolve by sheer flux of time, in which case he will probably put himself on the country. After the 183rd ballot an effort was made to adjourn, but was defeated and the balloting wac continued. At the 223rd ballot Dickson, of Pierce, moved the ap pointment of a committee of one from each county, except Chatham, which was to have three, to name a candidate, but the resolu tion was finally withdrawn after heated dis cussion.

It was not the sentiment of the convention to go to a dark horse nor to commit the decision of the contest to any committee and a break in the ballot was prevented by a summary and jerky adjournment. At the beginning of the 273rd ballot Appling voted for Norwood, and was applauded. This morning Mr. Brantley withdrew the name of Nicholls. He said: “For 273 bal lots the friends of Colonel Nicholls have been loyal. The result has been nothing, nothing for Nichoiis, nothing for the party. We did not come here to rale or ruin. We came pledged to our candidate, but also pledged to our party, and if we cannot win the coveted prize for the one, we at least hope to win the laurel wreath for the other.” Wlienthe 274th ballot was taken the excre ment was at a high pitch. Norwood re ceived 21K votes. Gordon rose to I8j<, Charlton divided its vote. Echols went to Gordon and bo did Pierce. Wayne gave \% to Gordou and '/i to Norwood. The other counties voted as before, Norwood holding Appling, Bryan, Bulloch, Camden, Clinch, Liberty, Glynn, Scriven, Tattnall and Ware, and Gordon retaining Chatham, Effingham, Emanuel And McIntosh, and on the 284lh ballot Wayiie voted 2 for Gordon. Great applause ensued. This made the vote, Nor wood 21, Gordon 19, but on the next roll call Norwood got back'his one-half aud the balloting went on monotonously, except when Wayne repeated this piece oi coquetry At 11 o’clock, after an hour’s recess, the ballotiog was renewed with the same results. At 12 o'clock, after the 3*i0th ballot, the con vention adjourned until 3 o’clock. The Norwood men are firm. They say that unless there is personal opposition on good grounds by one-third of tne conven tion, Norwood is entitled to the nomination. Some are talking of adjourning to-day and meeting in the luture, possibly at Savannah. No dark horse is beiug diseussed, still, it is almost certain that no one will he brought in os a necessity. Norwood is supposed to favor Col. R. E Lester if his own chances arc proved to be entirely gone. Just after the convention adjourned the secretary an nounced that the Norwood members would meet in caucus at the court house. Maj. Ryals announced that the Gordon men would inset in the usual place. At 5 o’clock alter 345 ballots, D. R. Grov- rT „f Rnilnnb moved for a recess until 8 o’clock to admit of a conference between the candidates and their friends with a view to the appointment of a conference com mittee o( two from each side to suggest, if possible, a basis of agreement to he presented to the convention. The commit tee representing Norwood was B. W. Patter son, of Appling, and II. J. McGhee, ot Tatt nall; and representing Gordon, G. M. Ryals, of Chatham, and B. Miliiken, of Wayne. The convention reassembled at 6 o’clock and again adjourned until 7 to receive the report of the committee. At 7 o’clock the commit tee asked for more time and recommended adjournment until 3 o’clock Tuesday. The report was unanimously adopted and the convention adjourned until then. URN. SHERIDAN. Very Satisfactory Impr-vam-ut Shown During the Past Week. Washinot n, June 17.—The following bulletin was issued this evening at 7 p. m: “Gen. Sheridan’s condition, contrasted with that of last Sunday, showa gratifying improvement aa to action of the heart and lungs.

There was also imflamation of the finer ramifications of the bronchial tubes in which particles had entered. The whole larynx was in a state of suppuration and a toft lumpy mass, with scarely any trace of cartilaginous structure remaining. There xvas nothing to show the existence of perforation of tne walla separating the trachea and the cesophagus. The choking sensation from which the Emperor suffered during lhe last days of his life, which was at tributed to such perforation, appears to have been really due to collapse of the larynx, owing to the destruction of the cartilage. The direct cause of death is given as paral ysis of the lu>'gs. The post mortem exami nation occupied an hour. An imperial decree summons the Reich stag to assemble on the 25tb inst. The Emperor received Count Herbert Bis marck to-day. THE FUNERAL. Arrangements for the Last Tribute of Hon or to the Remains of Frederick. Berlin, June 17.—To-merrow the church bells will toll from 9 a. m. until the funeral procession enters the Friederichskirche, and again after the firing of the artillery salute. The personages bearing the insignia of the imperial und royal dignities of the deceased will he as follows: Count Von Stoiberg, bearing the imperial crown; Herr Naybacn, the septre; Dr. Von Eucius, the orb; Count Von Sheltemlorf, I lie sword; Herr Fried- berg, the great seal; Herr Von Boettlcher, the black eagle; Herr Von Gossler, the hat of the Prince elector; Her Vou Scholz, the electoral sword. Gen. Von Blumrntbal will be imperial standard bearer and will be supported by Generals Miscke and Winter- field. The coffin will be removed from the catafalque by twelve officers of the body guard and borne to the funeral car. Pre ceded by the Count Chamberlain, the Minis ter of State bearing the insignia of royalty will join the procession and will stand oppo site the coffin during the service in the church, Gen. Von Blumenthai, with the standard, standing at the head of the coffin. The ceremony in the churcli will be con ducted in accordance with the instructions given in the testament of the deceased, .’’hen the bhIam As church c. prelude will lie played ou the organ, fol ios ed by the chorale, “Be thou faithful unto drath.” The iitaoy will then be read. When the words “Blessed are he deal which die in the Lord" are read, the choir will respond “Even sc. ssith the Spirit, fir thev rest from their lsbors.” Next witi be sung the chorale, “I know my Redeemer liveth,” and Chap lain Koegel will follow with a sermon. The ceremony will conclude with the singing of the chorale, “Wenn ich einmal soil schei den.” The chair in the church will be the cathe dral choir, while a choir of eighty voices from the Church of the Twelve Apostles will attend the services in the Castle. During the final benediction three volleys of mus ketry will be fired which will be followed by a saint* of tot guns. The order of the - procession from the cas tle to Friederichskirche is as follows: The line will he headed by a detachment of in fantry followed by the officers of the impe rial household, officiating clergy, the lata Emperor’s physicians, the court chamber lains, miaistera of atate bearing the imperial insignia, and coart officials. Then will come the funeral car. The pall-bearers, all Knfghta of the Black Eaglo, will be Gens. Von Der Goltz, VonTreskoar, Von Obernits and Von Pape. The canopy will be borne by twelve generals, three lieutenant marching on either side of the superior officers of the Rut and Saxon body guards will Berlin, June 16.—The first -full declara tion of the new Emperor’s policy is now un derstood as taking the form of an address to the Prussian peop e, which is expected to be issued Tuesday. The Reichstag will be sum moned to meet June 25th to receive a mes- soge, and shortly afterward the Emperor will formally take the oath to the con-titu- tion before the Landtag. Speculation has been already been busy regarding the tenor of the Emperor’s address to the people. Officially nothing is known of its character. Bismarck held a conference to-rtay with the Prussian ministry end afterwards obtained nn audience with Emperor Wi liam. The impression in ministerial circles is that the address will be brief, that it will lie explicit upon the Emperor’s desire to maintain peace, and guarded upon the subject of the relations between the crown and the people. The renisins of EE n ??op Frpflprjpk u'?r** placed in a coffin to-night and then carried to the catafalque which lias been erected in tli c Jasper gallery. The enfliu is identical with the one iu which Emperor William was buried. Count Von Moltke visited the mor* tuary chamber this afternoon, anil later he was received by lhe imperial family. tiir AUTOPSY. Professors Virchow, Waldcyer and Berg man went to Friederichsnhn Palace at the request of Emperor William and remained for two hours. Their presence gave rise to an inaccurate report that Emperor William hud ordered a post mortem examination to he made, although the Dowager Empress Victoria was adverse to it. Public feeling in Berlin distinctly favored the holding of such un exumimttioa and the supposed nban- d -nmentof tiie pinu caused a revival of the excitement against Dr. Mackensie, who was charged with omitting an autopsy in order that ne might prevent a final authoritative report us to the true malady from which the Emperor died. Besides the doctors who con ducted the autopsy, Count Von Stoiberg- Weininerode, Coui.t Chamberlain, remained during the examination, which proved the cvistrncc of cancer. Dr. Mackensie’s friend- state that he concurred in the noldidg of the post mortem. They also say that he knew the character ol the disease from an early period, but took the bent Course possible with tne patient.

To add to the solidity of the relatiens between the Emperor and the Chancellor, the former’s MOST 1NTIMF.NT FRIEND within recent years has been Count Herbert Bismarck It is some guarantee that the habits and style of the Crown Prinle have improved, ns evidenced by his selection of . this keen wilted and accomplished diplomat as an every-day aesoriale. The current ideas about Emperor William are that he ia a half-culturcil drill sergeant., ne is de scribed varionelv as Anglo-Phohia, Russo- Hiobla, Franco Phobia, generally ns hating something not German. Those nearest to him, however, declare thnt he is absolutely without national antipathies, but absolutely bent on having his own nay.

Atlanta, June 15.—At a late hour last night the jury in the case of K. P. Sumby, charged with assault with intent to mur der, brought in a verdict in accordance with the indictment, and this morning in open court Judge Richard H. Clark sen tenced Sumby to serve the term of three S ears in the penitentiary service of the tate. Sumby has had an eventful record in Atlanta. He came here several years ago and soon after reaching Atlanta joined the Young Mens Christian Association, of which he became an active and energetic member. He made friends, and some of the leaders of the association, thinking him worthy of their assistance, loaned him money to go into business. He opened a barber shop on Hunter street near White hall. and placed girls at each chair to look after the wants of the patronaof the estab lishment. When the new departure had been in operation only a few months Sumby skipped out from Atlanta, leaving his wife behind him and taking along with him his wife’s sister. The sudden departure of Sumby caused the female barber shop to collapse. Sumby, after rem-tining away for some months, came back a short time ago, and oue night cut a negro boot-black at the Kimball in the hack with a knife. He drove the blade of the kuife into the negro boy’s back between the shonldere and left it there He was arrested that night, hut escaped from police headquar ters while the officers had him tinder ar rest and was afLerward arrested in Chatta nooga.

Emperor William aud Empress Augusta Victoria will presently reside in the Marble' palace, where the Emperor to-day received the reports of minister*. The Berlin press as yet.refers only in sug gestive asides to the politiesl results of the aaceusion of William to the throne. The ap pearance of to day’s message to the army, the first public act of the new Emperor, has quickened public perception of the la-H that Germauy is • otering upon a new regime. No person expects immediate developments pointing to a critical state of affairs, but all the best informed military and diplomatic authorities are aware that the new Emperor’s desire is to has-e the final outcome, what ever it may be, of the present political situa tion. As the Crown Prince, he freely ex- picsscd the view that the condi tion of armed susji use in Eu rope for over two years ought to «ud, :: that the triple M’.Unrr was sMe ♦« de feat anv possible coalition and ought not to wait mr a convenient time for its enemies to open lift attack. Ilis avowed and open ad miration tor Bismarck is considered aalikelv to bind him for some time to the Chancel lor’s policy, ’“it within in . own circle his character as a resolute, somewhat seif willed and ambitious man, produces the belief that, despite his friei-dship for and devotion to Bismarck, he will not wait long before seek ing to given decided impetus to Germany’s foreign policy. Ills MILITARY ARDOB, which is forcibly expressed in his address to the army a .d navy, is in nnision with his impetuous and arbitrary temperament.

Borne ot William's First A tlclirss to Bis Army a Del* Heat ion of the Soldier. Bf.ri.in, June 16.- Emperor William II. has issued the following general order to the army: “While the army has only just dis carded the outward signs of mourning for the Emperor, King William I., my deeply revered grandfather, whose memory will ever live in all hearts, it had suffered a fresh and heavy I iow by the death of my dearly and warmly loved father. Tbia is indeed a serious and sorrowful time in which God’* decree places me at the head of ihe army. It is from a deeply moved heart I address my first.woids to my army; but the confi dence with which 1 step into the place to which God's will calls me, ia immovably strong, for I know what sense of honor and duty ° my glorious an estors have implanted in the army and I know in how great a meal ire this feeling has, at all timea, been manifested iu the army. Firm and in vincible attachment to the war-lord is an at tachment handed down from father to son, from gem-ration to generation, and in the same way I refer you to my grandfather, who stands fresh in your memories as the persouiiicaiiuu ui • gioitoss and venerable war-lord, such as could not be more finely conceived. I refer to my beloved father, who » Crown Prince, bad already won a place of honor in the army and whose heart beat warmly for you. Thus we belong to each other, I and the army; thus we were born for one RRntHrr. and i!:! »jn stand in an indissoluble bond, in peace or storm, aa God may will it.

Respect ot the People tor Emperor Fred erick—Wlllistu Regarded as a Foe. Paris, June 16.—It Is useless to deny that under the cover of assumed confidence, the death of Emperor Frederick has caused a feeling here very much like dismay. It was impossible not to notlee the silent agitation which pervaded the Chamber of Depnties when his decease was announced. It is worthy of remark that not a single journal published an exaggerated statement or premature account of the death of Empe ror Frederick. He was respected here as a lover of peace, and, minglrd with the ex pressions of sorrow at his death are dismal speculations as to political consequences. Rightly or wrongly the new Emperor is re garded as being animated by bitter hatred of France and a desire to render his reign memorable by fresh laurels cuiied upon the battlefield at the expense of his hered itary foe. A person who saw the Emperor at Charlotteuburg preserved the paper, whereon the Emperor had written the folio-ring: “One of the most consoling circumstances of my severe trial is to bo shewn what is said of me in the French pa pers. I certainly endeavored, by every means in my power, to mitigate the hard ships of wAr when I was at Versailles; but •till the war was very rigorous and it must always he to the conquered. It gives me fresh faith in human nature to find How the French forget the evil I had to do them and only remember those acts that were good.” The Paris papers, without exception, ex press sympathy for the bereaved Empress at the Jeath of the Emperor. Le Soliel says: “France has not waited for Emperor Frederick’s death to do him jus tice. She has taken account of the good be was able to achieve during his ail but too short reign and has not reproached him with the evil which he was unable to pre vent. Anew scene is about to bv disclosed. The present Emperor William II. is young, active and high-spirited. He succeeds the departed philosopher, hut hi* personal infla- ence will not make itself felt fora long time. William II. can but be the executor of the wishes of the German Richelieu. William rrigus, but more than ever Bismarck gov- eras.” Count Von Munster, German ambassador, bos notified M. Goblet, minister of foreign affairs, that tiie fuuerai oi Emperor Freder ick will lie private, only relatives of deceased •nd representatives of reigning bouses of Europe being present. France, therefore, will not send a representative. English Comments. LONDON, June 16.—The Timet, comment ing on the death of the Emperor, says: “Germany has lost a devoted, high-souled ruler und a noble-minded, faithful man. The first Emperor Wilburn was as much of • soldier as his grandson, the present William II, ami it may be hoped, with Bismarck’s in- Uuence, that the grandson’s efforts will like wise ne given to averting war.” The Standard says: ‘The German people may well he proud to think that they have been raled by snch a race of heroes. A death more tnuebing has never been wit nessed liisu ibat of Emperor Frederick.” The Dsily News says: “The Emperor is deeply mourned in Germany and hardly less in England. His patient endurance of sufiering end his heroic discharge of doty on the brink of the grave most have recalled to all Americans their own mnrdered Presi dent Garfield.” The Chronicle says it fears the feeling of brotherly sympathy which binds Englishmen to Germans, socially as well as politicaUy, will soon disappear.
