HyD-witnesscs of the scenes at the death of the emperor state that during the hist few hours of his life he suffered no p 1U1. Shortly after 8 o'clock all the members of the family staying at the palace, the court dignitaries, neheruls and ministers of slate were summoned to the chamber in which the emperor laydjimr. The em peror was in a half sittinn position on a camp bedstead. All the niembeis of the royal family took places at the bedside. The room was crowded. Prince William stood nearest the emporor, hnlf-beudlnu over the couch. He earnestly watched the face of the dylnn mmurcli until he expired. In his last hours the emperor seems to have but one wish, and that is to see Ills invalid sou once more. The crown prince was notilled that his father was ill, hut was not plveti to understand that It whs serious, much less fatal. His doctois tele frruphed back that ho would be able to be brought here on Saturday unless unfavor able bymptoms which could not he fore seen should set in. The emperor tried to look pleased when this information was Riven him, but his smile was sad, as though h knew that Saturday will prob ably bo too late, and that he will never tee his boy again on earth. When the He Ichstas. met to-day Prince Illsmirck, whh deep emotion, informed the members of the death of the emperor. He also announced that the new king, would assume the title of Frederick III. The Imipornr's Career. Frederick William Louis, empeTor of Germany, was born March 22, 17.17, the second sou of King Frederick William III, and Queen hulls, a princess ot Meck lenburg.

He afterward sit in the Prussian diet, supporting the absolutist narty. His ennsiiiuent unpopularity obliged 111 in to llee to Ktigland in ISIS, hut lie soon returned to take a beat in the national assembly. In ls.17 ho was appointed regent of Prussia, owing to the lmuuity of his brother, and suc ceeded to the throne on his brother's death, January !2, lfeOl. The king usi-ied the constitutional party controlling Par liament, and asserted the prerogatives ot the soveieign. in this contest he whs ably supported by Hismaiok. who became prime minister September a.', ISO J. The reorganization ot the army was tlie king's elective method ot consolidating and pre paring tor the expansion ot tus power, iiis minister succeeded in turning public at ration liom the constitutional question by laisiug tlie fchlesw :g Holsiein dispute m !Hi3, and iorcii.g Austin into ihe Danish war. Tlie next step wis to drhe Austria out of tlie confederal ion and secure the lending place among the German Mates lor Prussia. This was af fected by the war of IH'M. The kingdom was now prepared lor the war with France, which the giowth of (j'er.nan power, as regarded enviously by Napoleon III. and his minsters, made inevitable. The result was the triumph of the Ger man aims and the et iblishment of the German empire. William was crowned German emperor at Versailles, .lanuaiy 18, lull. Tlie emperor married June 11, IbSit, Augusta, daughter ot the late Grand Duke Karl Friedrich or Saxe-Weimar, by whom he bus one child beside the crown prince, I.ou s-, the present Grand Duchess of linden.

It is expected that one ot his iiuijestj s llrst steps will be thegrantlng of amnesty to political ollenders. The evening papers contain what are leported to be the last words spoken by the emporer.

In an interview to day Mr. Cnamberlaln in referring to the fisheries treatj , said that the republican Senate might not be willing to allow tlie p resent democratic government to get the credit ot training a successiui treaty, but lie did not believe the beuate would take the immense resiioiisibilitv ol rejecting the tteaty. He anticipated a with Hie estradllloii treaty that the hen ate would postpone the lishery treaty un til alter the piesidential election. He did not doubt, however, it the treaty should be rejected, that the settlement now ar rived at would lie the sentiment ultimate ly adopted. Deli'Kati-H to CIiIi-ho From the l.uniollle News and Citizen.l So far as Mr. Page is concerned we speak from authority when we say that he is not and will not be a candidate, be lieving ttiat having once been honored with this appointment it Is proper that other laitnitii menus oi the cause should now be selected. We prisume that Hon. Henry Hallaid, Hon. M. S. Colburn, Ma jor Valentine, Gen. Grout and ex-Gov. Fairbanks will take a like view of the s tiiatlon, for there seems to be a quite general leeling that we imve a strong ar lay of distinguished names from which to selecta good delegation this year without diafting into the service old war horses w lio have enjojed all the honors which the position cniitels.

Hnbson of Ksex county, ami It. M. Harvey, Esq., ot Orange county. We have purposely mentioned but one name i roin each county, and have not inten tionally suggested any one who lias been previously honored by au appointment of tins Kind. What the republican party of Vermont demands and win expect ol the forthcom lng conventions, is that that they give us a delegation composed ot able, judicious, thrrough-goiug lepunllcans, men w ho.e ihlllleiice will oe lelt and whose deliber ations will aid in giving us a standaid nearer woo win nest unite the lepiiblieau fticeo and lead us to ceitaiu vlctoiy.

It carries to the tree list a large number ot articles now paying duties and which en ter into consumption either as raw mate rial or otherwise and in the pioduction ol which thele is no injurious comnetitinn between this and ot her countries. In the levislon ot the tarill' the aim lias been in telllgeiitiy to apiilv consistent principles to all branches oi industry and in so do ing our lllllllstn.il sslem has In i-nn- shleied as a whole and differing from oili er industrial svsteuis in the Important met inai lanor in this country re ceives a larger shine ol annual products of labor and capital combined tliau In any country. This Important ad vantage to the hiocr interests of the Uni ted States. the bill alms to nreserve throughout, while at thu same time "in Mlrutss to all interests," as btated m tin Chicago platform, "to reduce and equal ize" tlie duties on imports. The difference in the cost of nrodooini' commodities in this and other countries where there is no cllmatlcorother natural causes why they cannot be produced abundantly in tins country has been studied and everywhere adhered to as a caidlnal piinciple to be enforced in any revision ol the tarill'. Where imp iitation in any line ot com modities is large and increasing and no good reus in appeals why the things can not as well be produced lieie, such duties are below the cost hue and tho advan tage is witli tlie foreign producer. If prodtic'iou in the same lino is diminished or biispended altogether In this country, it becomes pioof positive that the advan tages is too great to be oveicome with a readjustment ot duties. Where importa tions ale live and incieasing it. may con sistently be assumed that duties are quite high enough and in many cses maybe sately reduced ; and in case the industry is ot such nature as to permit trusts and combinations ot any kind to raise prices above the level of prices and prollts in other Indiistues, then it becomes Impor tant that the cjst line should be closely adhered to and that has been the aim in this bill. It is less important of course to apply the rule rigidly where prices are regulated through free competition. In working out the details ol the bill under these principles the aim has been to compare closely and adjust carefully the different schedules with the objtct always In view to lower duties wherever possible and leduce the revenues, being carelul at the same sline to hint no established In ustry. It is estimated that under this bill 70, i) U.Ooj of internal taxation will be re pealed and a reductlun of s2. (lO.i.tiOO effect ed on thetnriff schedules.

Alter considerable di;C'iss on bv a l thu delegates present, it was decided that the present organization could not, question the legality of the decision of that com mittee, and consequently the second place was voted to l V.

This motion was made, as it was understood thai Goddard seminary and St. Johiislmry academy thought of making application lor membership in the league. It was then voted that each college should raise iU) by the 1st ot M iy, aud deposit the same with the treasurer or the league, and that this money should lie used for defraying the travelling ex penses ot tho delegates and judiciary committee, aud also tor puichasing a pen nant to he given to the team which wins ihc championship.
