KAISER A DYING MAN

"end within the nest few months expected." ■ The following sensational statements by its Washington correspondent appear in a recent iesuo of tho London "Morning Post" regarding the doom of the Raiser and his dynasty:—. "A report lias reached mo that the Gorman Emperor is fatally ill with Bright , a disease. ,Tho news comes to mo through American financial sources having close connections with, important German bankers in this country on most ■ intimate terms with the German .Government. The majority of cases of Bright's disease, as every medical man knows, are superinduced by worry and long-continued depression, the mental condition, for some unknown reason, directly affecting the vital organs concerned. Tho Emperor, according to my informant,' has for some months past been in the depths of depression.. Tho efforts made by his physicians and entourage to rally him have been unsuccessful, and tho disease lias so completely fastened itself upon him that his recovery is impossible'and his death within a.few months is to be expected. . "With his death, according to , the German bankers, the House of Hoheiizollern will lose the throne of Germany, as the Crown Princo is known to be a 'moral degenerate, and the German people will not accept him as .their Sovereign. Either Germany will become a Republic or ' a limited Constitutional Monarchy, the real power being exercised by Parliament'elected by universal franchise. It is the opinion of the German bankers, knowing tho conditions existing in Germany and the temperament of the German people, that unless there should be ft sudden uprising, which • they do not now anticipate, a Constitutional Monarchy rather, than a Republic will be the outcome."
