§Jh<t Jerald and SMrtrtisq. Newnan, Ga., Friday, March 16, 1888. EMPEROR WILLIAM DEAD. His Last. Moments Peaceful-Sorrow Throughout the World. Berlin, March 0.—Emperor William died at 8:30 o’clock this morning. His death was announced to the populace by lowering to half mast the standard over the palace. Flags at half mast were soon displayed on all the public buildings. An immense concourse of people gathered outside the palace. The multitude was silent and sorrow ful. Eye witnesses of the scene at the death state that during the last few hours of his life he suffered no pain. Shortly after 8 o’clock all the members of the family staying at the palace, the Court dignitaries, Generals and Minis ters of State were summoned to the chamber in which the Emperor lay dy ing. The Emperor was in a half sitting position on a camp bedstead. All the members of the royal family took their places at the bedside. The room was crowded. Prince William stood nearest the Emperor. Half bending over the couch he earnestly watched the face of the dying monarch until lie expired. The Emperor’s remains were covered with a white cloth and left on the bed stead on which lie died in the imperial chamber. The body was surrounded with candles. The expression of the face was extremely peaceful. J he members of the royal family left the palace at 10 o’clock. Divine service will be held in the mortuary chamber to-morrow night". The cathedral choir will perform the choral parts of the service. The Emperor died holding the Em press by the hand. lie had been in a stupor since 3 o’clock. He was delirious for a brief period at 5 o’clock, during which he is reported to have exclaimed: “I am a man of peace, but if liussia forces me to war 1 shall faithfully side with my ally, Austria.” The Emperor will be buried in the mausoleum at Charlottenberg. BISMARCK TELLS THE REICHSTAG. The Reichstag assembled at 12:30 o’clock this afternoon amid unusual ex citement in the lobbies. It had been agreed that the ringing off the bell, the customary signal for the assembling of the members, should be stopped and that the Deputies should enter the hall quietly and without ceremony. All the benches in the house were speedi ly filled and the galleries were crowded. Profound silence reigned. A large number of the Federal commissaries were in their places at the Federal Councillors’ table from an early hour. Meanwhile the Plenipotentiaries await ed Prince Bismarck in the lobby, and as he arrived they went with him to the hall of the Federal Council, where they held a private conference. At 12:30 o’clock the members of the Council en tered the Reichstag and took positions to the left of the Presidential chair. Immediately afterward the President was called away for an interview with Prince Bismarck. At 12:32 o’clock Prince Bismarck appeared, and the members rose in a body. The Chancellor, after a pause, said: “The sad duty devolves upon me of making to you an official communica tion of what you know already, that since 8:30 o’clock his majesty, the Em peror'William, has been at rest with his fathers. In consequence of this event the Prussian throne, and with this, according to article XI of the im perial constitution, the imperial dignity has fallen upon His Majesty Frederick III., King of Prussia. Telegraphic in telligence received by me allows of the assumption that his majesty, the reign ing Emperor and King, will leave San Remo to-morrow, arriving in due course in Berlin. During the last days of his life I received from the much lamented King confirmation of the power for work which only left him with his life, the signature which lies before me, and which empowers me to close the Reich stag at the usual time when its labors are finished. “I addressed to the Emperor a re quest that he should sign only with the first letters of 4>is name. His majesty replied that he believed himself still able to write his name in full. In con sequence, this historical document with the last signature of his majesty lies before me. Under the circumstan ces, I assume that it would be in accord ance with the wish of the Reichstag as well as of the representatives of the Federal Government, not to separate just now, but to remain in session until after the arrival of his majesty, the Emperor. I, therefore, do not make any use of the imperial authorization beyond depositing it in the archives as an historical document and requesting your President to induce the adoption of a resolution which will reflect the feeling and conviction of the Reichstag. It does not become me to give from this official place expression to the per sonal feelings with which the decease of my master, the departure of the first German Emperor from our midst, fills me. There is, in fact, no need of it, for the feelings which animate me live in the heart of every German. “But there is one thing which I be lieve 1 should not conceal from you. It does not concern my sentiments, but which filled him with satisfaction and coinfort. One of them was the effect that the sufferings of his only son and successor, our present sovereign lord, had produced throughout the world, not only in Germany, but in every part of the world. I received, this very day, from New York a telegram of sympa thy, showing what confidence the dy nasty of tlie imperial house has acquir ed among all nations. This is a legacy which the Emperor’s long reign be queaths to German people. The con fidence which his dynasty has won will be transferred to the nation despite any thing that has happened.” The House received the communica tion about the new Emperor with evi dent satisfaction. A SKETCH OK HIS LIFE. Wilhelm Friedrich Ludwig, William I., was born March 22, 171)7. He was the son of Frederich William III. and the celebrated Queen Louisa. In early life he accompanied the armies which overthrew Napoleon I. After the ac cession of his childless brother, I reder- ick IV., in 1840, he became known as heir apparent and Prince of Prussia. He was invested with high office and sat in the first United Diet in 1847. Chiefly on account of his fondness for the army he was regarded as an absolu tist in 1848, and withdrew to England until June, when the excitement in Ber lin having subsided he took a seat as Deputy in the national assembly. On July 12, 1849, an unsuccessful attempt was made upon his life at Xeider-Ingel- lieim while he was on the way to Baden to take command of the Prussian forces. He put down the Republican insurrec tion in a few weeks. Subsequently he was stationed at Coblentz as Military Governor on the Rhine and in Westphalia, and also be came Governor of the Federal fortress at Metz and Grand Master of the Free Masons. On important occasions he was called to Berlin to confer on state affairs and his loyal nature was soon lamation incorporating Alsace-Lorraine with the Empire. Early in 1876 he joined the Emperors of Austria and Russia in the project of reforms suggested to Turkey for her revolted provinces. Monuments in his honor have been erected all over the German Empire. By his wife, the Empress Augusta, he had one son,, the:Crown Prince, who is now suffering from cancer in his throat, and one daughter, the Princess Louisa, who married, -in 1856, the Grand Duke Frederick, of Baden. Since the close of the Franco-Prussian war, Germany has enjoyed marvelous prosperity, and the Emperor was the idol of the peo ple. He had been steadily failing for a year or more, but he managed to show himself to the people almost every day. He had an iron constitution, and not witstanding his great age he attended to all the duties of his position with wonderful regularity and promptness. There is no doubt that the conviction that the Crown Prince was suffering from a disease from which he could not recover, and which might terminate fatally in a short time, hastened his death. He will have a great place in history. FREDERICK THE THIRD. San Remo, March 9.—Emperor Fred erick III. was greatly disturbed on hearing the news of his father’s death, but is now much more tranquil. He has received hundreds of telegrams of con dolence. His wife received many la dies and gentlemen who have been in Emperor Frederick’s service, and who called to express their sympathy. The Emperor and his wife will leave for Berlin at 9 o’clock to-morrow morning. Emperor Frederick William passed a fairly good night. During the early part of the night he was restless, but he slept better afterward. The Emperor passed a good day. He dined downstairs with his family for the first time since the operation was edge of life German princes are able to acquire by thus early mixing with their equals in age, if not in rank, as a mat ter of course stands them in good stead in after years. Some time anterior to this instructive little incident Prince Henry—then a j small boy,but now an intelligent Captain : in the imperial navy—objected to his or dinary ablutions in the morning. Find- ing him refractory beyond her powers of ! persuasion, the Crown Princess report ed the youthful offender to his father who took his measure without saying much about it. On the following day as the boy came home from his drive, he complained to his father that the ■ sentinel at the door had not paid him: the usual courtesy of presenting arms. “Of course not,” was the reply; “Prus sian sentinels do not notice unwashed boys.” Never again did the crestfallen Henry refuse to be led up to the use ful basin.

In July another abortive but graver attempt was made on his life at Baden- Baden by the student Oskar Becker, who charged him with incapacity to ef fect the union of Germany, the accom plishment of which, however, became the salient feature of his reign. With the assistance of Yon Boon he paved the way for victory by the re-or ganization of the army, and in 18(52 he placed Bismarck at the head of the Cabinet as Minister of Foreign Affairs. After procuring, in 1864, the co-opera tion of Austria in the Schleswig-Hol stein war he achieved a great victory for Prussia, and the convention of Gas- tein, August 4th, 1865, assigned Schles wig temporarily to him, and Launen- burg permanently. His sagacity in selecting able minis ters and generals was equaled only by his firmness in sustaining them against all opposition; and his confidence in Bismarck, as well as in Yon Boon and Moltke, was fully confirmed by the rapid and brilliant success of the war of 1866, in conjunction with Italy, against Austria, in which he personally took an active part, and which extin guished Austria as a German power, and placed him at the head of the new North German confederation with Schleswig-Holstein, Hanover, Hesse- Cassel, Nassau and Frankfort added to his Prussian dominions. On February 24th, 1867, he opened a constituent Reichstag, and on July 1 he made Bis marck Chanoellor. In the preceding months he and his nephew, the Emper or Alexander II. of Russia, had visited Napoleon III. on the occasion of the Paris Exposition. The friendly rela tions between Prussia and Russia were subsequently strengthened, the two Chancellors, Bismarck and Gortscha koff, being in as much accord as the two monarchs, and this good under standing was of the greatest moment in the ultimate'victory over France and the attainment of German unity. The King also took every opportunity to vindicate the historic position of his dy nasty as protector of the Pretestant faith. The candidature of Prince Leopold, of Hohenzollern, for the Spanish throne and the King’s objections, with further interviews with the French Ambassa dor, Count Benedetti, who had repeat edly importuned him at Ems in July, 1S70. became the pretext for the French declaration of war against Prussia. The South German States at once joined the North German Confedera tion against France under the lead of Prussia, and the war was a series of prodigious victories.

A SKETCH OF HIS LIFE AND HIS BRIL LIANT MILITARY RECORD. Frederick William Nicholas Charles, who will reign as Frederick III., was born in the royal palace near Potsdam, October 18, 1831. He received a very thorough education, and on January 25, 1858, he married Victoria Adelaide, Princess Royal of Great Britain, who has borne him quite a number of child ren, the eldest of whom, Prince Fred erick William Victor Albert, was born in Berlin, January 27, 185S. In 1866 he was commander-in-chief of the second Prussian army, and essentially contrib uted toward the victory atSadowa. In the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-71, he was at the head of the South German forces as commander-in-chief of the third army. The first victory of the war, that of Weissenberg, and the greater one over MacMalion at Worth, were achieved under liis generalship. He took an equally brilliant part in the great triumphs culminating in Napo leon’s surrender with his army at Se dan. He won additional laurels during the seige of Paris, and was made Gen eral Field Marshal, although it had not been customary for royal princes to re ceive that title. From convictions, habits, and the as sociations of a most happy marriage, he has always been a friend of Anglr- Saxon humanity. His speech at the opening of th.e second London Exhibi tion found a ready echo on both sides of the channel. “In thanking you for the reception given me,” he said in reply to an address presented by the mem bers of the Royal Academy, “I hope it will prove another tie between Prus sia and the great and virtuous country to which I owe my wife. The sympa thies 1 have always entertained for the Anglo-Saxon race will, I am sure, be deepened throughout Germany in pro portion to our better acquaintance with each other.” In politics, as well a in private life, he has always acted up to these words. The steady advocate in the council of good relations with England and America, lie has been happy to receive many a distinguished visitor from both countries in his house, and in conversation with them has fre quently dwelt upon the moral and po litical good sure to arise from increased contact between the several branches of the Teuton family. “I shall never forget,” he remarked one day to Lord Houghton, with that felicity of ex pression peculiar to him, “that my wife was English before she became Ger man, and that the English were Ger man before they emigrated to Britain.” He is as Yvitty as lie is affable and good-natured, and is famous for many smart sayings in official and private in- THE CENTURY MAGAZINE W the consequences thereof, old grandmothers knew, for instance, that the opening of spring was the most perilous period of the year.
