which wns surrounded by sentinels. 1 spokew ith the physicians. All wcro unanimous inthe opinion that it was almost impossible forthe emperor to live through the night. Theemperor tit It o'clock was perfectly consciousand frco from pain. Ho lies almost motion-less

¬

on his back nnd every twenty minutesMackenzie gives him through the tube smallquantities of whisky alternated with clnrct.Until 5 o'clock ho wrote w'lth a pencil on lit-

tle¬

square paper tablets his last wishes nndfamily arrangements.

Hundreds of telegrams- from all parts ofthe world arrive at the palnco and the cm-press reads them to him. Among them weremessages from Queen Victoria and thePrince of Wales. The Duke of Connaughtsent one from India.

The emperor wrote in pencil : "I feelMackenzie has done all that human science ,

watchfulness nnd skill could do to prolongmy life. I thank him. " On another slip hewrote : "I have tried my best to do my dutyto my God nnd my country. I feel the endIs now near. God's will bo done. "

The room in which the emperor Is nowdying is not ten yards from the one in whichlie was born. It is medium-sized. On thewalls -ire portraits of Emperor William andall Emperor Frederick's children and half adozen engravings of Frederick the Great.The emperor lays In n plain English brassbedstead , at the foot of which , on an easel , is-

n portrait of the empress by Angeli. Theempress herself sits beside her husband , nndhas not quit him n moment in fortyeighth-ours. .

LONDON ,' Juno li. [ New York HeialiCable Special to TIIK Hi E ] There is oneparamount question underlying all the con-

troversy¬

now raging concerning the nationaldefences ; it Is the money annually votedparliament for the urmyind navy beinthonestly nnd wisely spent. The Duke olCambridge wo want moio soldiers.Lord Charles Hercsford and all the sailorsasker more ships , but the Independent mem-beis

-

of parliament contend that wo ought toget all we require of both for thirty millionsa year , the sum now (wanted.Vhut pre-vents

¬

it is Jobbery , extravaganceand mismanagement. Itemovo theseand England might have a perfectlyefficient nimy nnd navy nextjcar. This belief accounts for the Imta-tlenco

| -

with which the demands for moremoney are received hi the house and out ol-

it. . Hefoie Lord Hand'olph ChurchllT's specialcommittee the Duke of Cauibiidgo testifiedthat the army was too weak for the dutiesrequired. Ho did not care to add w hat homust perfectly well know , thut if contractswere honestly given out , superfluous otllciulscut ofT , useless clerks hi the andadmiralty dismissed , upd Other reforms car-

rled out , ho could very soon get the addi-

tional¬

men ho wants. Not moro ca-

i.iclty-

, but honesty Is the great cry-ng

-

want at tlio times in thiscountry. The government got n rude re-

minder¬

of this Tuesday night. Gross cases ofFavoritism and extravagance wcro broughtforward nnd the ministry thought theirfrowns would flighten Us supporters and In-

duce-

them all to climb down with Its ownngllltyns shown In Its standing by the licens-

ing¬

clauses ono day and dropping ther.1 thenext day. They defended n rotten sv stemnnd wcro beaten. This Is the first real blowwhich has been struck at the principle ofgoverning England for the bcncllt of theprivileged circles , Instead of for the benollt-of the whole people. The admlrnlity is a har-bor

¬

of refuge for the Hangers on of ministersand cx-mlnistcrs. Last night's discussion isthe knell of doom for all this class. You maydepend upon it tlio nation will not consent togive us nny moro money for nrms or navyuntil it Is satisfied the sums already givennro properly spent. Wo have big guns , butwo are desperately afraid to let them off-

.Kvcn.

if wo wcro not , there is no powder forthem. Competent men nssuro me , both thearmy and navy would break dow n If anyserious crisis came upon us. Thoiocomes up the old cry of "moromoney , " nnd the people's answer , "what-hnvo you done with nil that jou have had I"-

Thnt question will bo put with Increasingsternness ns time goes on. The whole ofllciulclass stand together when Interlopers pre-sume

¬

to criticiso the ministers , denouncethem ns Salisbury denounced Woolsolcywho-Is not exactly nn interloper. The ofllciulposition is continually growing weaker. Thevvorkingmon throughout tlio country whosofamilies get no fat contrncts nor pensionsnro becoming aroused , Hajonets , tin shipsarmored below the water line , guns thatburst , shells that will not explode , shoddycontractors and middle men , sweaters whorob the poor and client the nation the nn-

tion-

has hud enough of them nil. A deadlyspirit of earnestness is being kindled ngninstabuses which have become intolerable andapologists of these abuses have only a verylimited time bcforo them to set their housesIn order. Such is the ically serious aspectof Invasion pr , national defense questions ,

specially serious for the indolent or incapableofficers. Lord Charles Beicsford helpedto defeat the govcinmcnt onTuesday night. Ho is not afiaiil-to give practical effect to his opinions. Hasho not been been behind the scenes andknows the need of vital reforms ? As for thecountry being In Immediate danger , few ba-

llevo-

that wo ought to bo moro ready thanwe arc , but when was ev en England icadj ,

at least since Elizabeth's time ! Wo get intodanger and get out again at enormous cost ,

but still wo live. The people pay w Illingly ,

but they will not bo plundcicd. This minis-try

¬

had a grc.it oppoitunity bcforo It of lead-jug the way of making n clean bwccp of redtape and jobbery , it will not use it. Whatthen ! Some other ministry will.-
