Lonvon, March 9, (2 m.)
There are four or five hours delay in the receipt of despatches from Berlin owing to the crowded condition of the wires by the immense number of messages sent. It appeers now as if the announcement of Emperor William's death was dueto a fainting spell with which the Emperor was seized between 5 and 6 o'clock in the after- noon. All the Berlin papers announced the death of the Emperor late in the after- hoon,

Picrou, March §.
The last of three races between Mo- Cormack and Laidlaw was started here this evening, and proved the most exciting of the series. Laidlaw has been showing fine form and practising steadily, and those who prophesied fast time for him were not disappointed, although he was not speedy enough for MeCormack. For the first three miles McCormack led at a fast clip, with the Dartmouth man close at hig hgels, On the first lap of the fourth mile the lat- ter cleverly slipped into first place. Me- Cormack hung to him closely for the next mile, and as the fifth opened made a fine burst of speed, which carried him to the front and opened some twenty feet on Laid- law, which he maintained to the finish, in 17m. 11s,
There is not an idle man in Pictou this winter. A great deal of work is going an in the shape of rebuilding the Island steamer St. Lawrence and the dredge St. Lawrence, and also harbor improvements, such as building crib work, ete.
When the steamer St. Lawrence is finish- ed she will present a handsome appearance. She is being thoroughly rebuilt, the cost being estimated at $30,000.
