BERLIN, April 16.-Emperor Frederick
passed bad night last night Tho fever
and symptoms Of bronchitis have increased
A council Of Prassiaa ministers was held
at Bismarck's residence this afternoon
The session lasted long time.
The doctors In attendance upon Emperor
Frederick had consultation today and de
cided that bronchitis WAS limited and that
no pneumonia Was present. DR.. Macken-
xie fears that pneumonia viii set in in con-
sequence Of the emperor's high tempera-
tnre, which the attack Of bronchitis alone
does not exelain. The other doctors have
been summoned to join in an another con-
sultation. which will be held tonight.
At $50 p. m. the emperor's condition was
the same. The fever had not ahated.
Prince Henry, his son. arrived from VII.
helm schafin at 40 early hour this morning.
All the family Of the emperor are now A.
sembled 1t Charlottenburg. The crown
prince and Bismarck had long conference
with the emperor this afternoon.
At 7:l5 o'clock this evening the emperor
was in higher state Of fever, and there
was no improvement 10 his other symptons.
At the evening conference Of the doctors
concerning the emperor II was found that
the fever and bronchitis were unchanged.
IL is undenisble that De-. Mackenzie this
morning believed that the emperor's end
was approaching. The empress urgently
summoned the members Of the family to
hasten 10 the castle. Crown Prince William
galioped from Berlin and arrived first. He
was soon followed by Empress Augusta
and others. Prince Bismarck was at the
bedside In an hour after receiving the sum-
mons. There Is q marked discharge Of
blo,dy mucuous from the emperor's throat,
aud the swelling Is progressing dow inward.
Prince Bismarck, accompanied by the min
ister Of justice, had another interview with
the emperor. when bis majesty signed an
order appointing the crown prince to act q
his representative.
At . D. m. better reports we're received
from Charlottenberg. The emperor left
his bed and sat for Q while in an arm chair.
The grand duchess Of Baden visited him at
Z O'Clock. After the visit be slept for an
hour.

perial family were summonedto the emper.
or's bedside The worst is feared.

strength and robustness of growth, It
is one of the best of all the double

sepals of the flower are a light carminei
oorolla, bright violet, shading to
purple, and the flower is larger than
that of any other sort. Said a lady
who had one last year, at has had
thirty full blown flowers and now has
seventy buds. It is greatly admired
by all who see it. For shady nook

In q Japanese Theatre.
HATS AND COATS THROWN ON THE STAGE
AND REDEEMED FOR MONEY.

The Japanese. school acting might
be called the natural one, the whole
progress of the play bein. carried on
in the quiet, even tones Of every day.
There is little bombast of rant except
in the classical interludes, when every
thing is as stilted and conventional as
possible. Pathos is always deep and
long drawn, and the last tear is wrung
from the eyes of the audience, that re-
spends with handkerchief to the slight
est appeal TO the emotional side. Trag-
edy is very tragic, and murders more
CORY than we would quite enjoy.
Death on the Japanese stage always
results from sword cuts, and the antics
of fencers, the wonderful endurance of
the hacked victims and the streams of
red paint that pour from all over them
before they die are rather too much.
The audience enjoy this, however, and
they shout, shrek and whoop with de-
light when good, CORY combat goes
on. To express greater approval they
throw pieces of their clothing or any
of their valued belongings on the stage
just as excited young ladies at the
opera hurl their bouquets at Patti, and
queens draw off diamond rings and
bracelets TO hand to Nilsson.
A foreigner who saw the rain of
coats, ssshes, etc, falling on the stage
after thrilling scene, tossed his hat
over too. 1t was an old one that he
did not care for. He had a soft cap
in his pocket, and he thought it rather
nice thing TO be able to follow the
fashions of the country. At the end
of the play the manager brought his
hat to him and asked him for the $40.
The enthusiast then found that all
things tossed TO the star were merely
pledges to be aiterward redeemed by
money, the actors having a regular
schedule-so much for a coat a kimono,
a sash and pipe, and corresponding
sums for Foreigners hats and l. ose ar
ticles. The enthusiast sadly paid his
$40 and took back his abused hat, as
the manager only bowed aud contin.
ued TO hold it out in spite of his gen.
erous protests about his wishing the
star to keep il as email souvenir
