Kaiser to attend Grand Duke's funeral

January 7, 1901

Kaiser Wilhelm II is "slightly indisposed," and was not able to visit his grandmother's tomb today at the Charlottenburg mausoleum today, according to a report in the New York Times.  Today is the anniversary of Empress Auguste's death.   He will be attending the funeral of the Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar on Friday, and the Court will go into mourning for three weeks.  On Friday the Court will "settle at the Berlin Schloss."
