BERLIN, May 19.-For the first time since
his critical relapse the Emperor has been
seen today outside OF the Schloss. Shortly
after o'clock the people assembled in
front Of the palace were gratifed by the
appearance OF the Emperor and Empress
in an open carriage. The Emperor still
bears marked traces Of fever, but his ap.
pearance daily improves. The drive
was continued to the shooting lodge
ut Grunewald, and after short
rest the imperial family returned to
the Schloss. Along the route the En-
peror acknowledged the sall.es of the
people with a gesture Of the hand. During
the drive the Emperor remained reclining
on pillows. Every day this week showed
q perceptible increase OF general strength.
His first outings In the Schloss park were
followed by restlessness during the ear
lier part OF the night, succeeded by re-
freshing sleep. Before today's drive he
passed several hours in the park reading.
writing and hearing reports While walk
ing he looks very frail and Is obliged TO
lean on staff. Every step Is taken with
evident effort.
THE COMING MARRIAGE.
He takes strong interest In the prep
arations for the wedding of Prince Henry
and Prince Irene. II is expected that
the marriage, instead Of beingsemi- private,
will be q court celebration associated with
the Emporer's recovery. Three hundred
and twenty guests have been invited.
Queen Victoria has sent the bride an en-
tire trousseau OF unusual magnifcence,
and also a parure Of diamonds, emeralds
and pearls.
THE EMPRESS AND BISMARCK.
The relations between the Empress and
Prince Bismarck are again strained. Be-
fore the Chancellor went to Varzin the
Empress submitted to the Emperor the
names OF several court officials she desired
TO have conferred distinguished orders.
Prince Bismarck protested, and the whole
mininistry signed paper stating that II
the orders were conferred they would re-
sign. The Empress then withdrew the
names. The feeling OF bitterness between
the court and Prince Bismarck's partisans
Is intensified. The Chancellor will return
10 Berlin at the end OF next week. The
situation is too critical TO permit of further
rest for him. The war drum beats with
subdued resonance, but ever and anon the
| official press reawakens interest by some
| fresh alarm. lu
