THE LATE COUNT BIEBERSTEIN.

o GERMAN AMBASSADOR'S DEATH

(By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (United Press Association.) Berlin, September 25. Sir Edward Grey telegraphed the Government's regret at Count Bieberstein's death. They much appreciated his presence in the Embassy. German newspapers show a remarkable demonstration of esteem. Some state that he should have been Chancellor. Heart weakness was attributed to excessive cigarette smoking. UNIVERSAL TRIBUTES. London, September 24. There are universal press tributes to Count Bieborstein in the Canadian press. Berlin, September 25. Grief at Count Bieberstein's death is unprecedented since Bismarck died. The North Germain Gazette is of the opinion his skill would have achieved favourable Anglo-German relations. Paris, September 25. Newspapers say it would be unjust to describe Count Bieberstein's work in London at a negative value, but the conflict between Britain and Germany was as inevitable as the Franco-Prus-sian war. THE KING'S CONDOLENCES. AN HEROIC SUFFERER.

(Received 26, 11.25 a.m.) Berlin, September 25. King George's condolences were among the first received. The post-mortem reveals that the Count was a most heroic sufferer for vears, many of the organs, especially the heart, being in an advanced state of deterioration and calcification.
