CONKING IMPROVING.
The Doctor Says He Is Better Than
He Has Been in Ten DAYS.

He Has Been in Ten Days.
NEW YORK, April 1l.-Dr Blrker called
at the residence of ex-senator Conkling
patient resting peacefully. The doctor felt
the patients pulse and found it more regu-
lar than it has been for several days Mr..
Conkling awoke and cordially shook hands
with the ply ysician, who at once asked him
If he would not take some soothing medi-
cine The sufferer promptly replied in the
affirmative and as promptly took the medi-
cine offered him. Subsequently DR.. Barker,
In the form of an official bulletin,
announced to the members of
the press that Mr.. Conkling was beginning
to recover. "A marked change for the bet
ter" he said, had taken place during the
night. Mr.. Conkling is much better this
morning; in fact he is much better this
morning than he has been for at least ten
days, and he enjoyed more refreshing sleep
during the night than he has for over ten
days"
The utterances of Mr. Conkling's physi-
clans and attendant friends are not so con-
fident tonight as they were last night and
earlier in the day He is reported weaker,
but the physicians are still hopeful of bring
ing their patient through.
HIS IMPROVED CHANCES
New YORK, April II, 10P NAT 9:15
o'clock tonight Drs. Barker and Sands
finished a consultation. Dr. Barker said
the patient had had a sound, healthy, deep
sleep from o'clock this afternoon until $40
o'clock tonight, and that his mental condi-
ton was excellent. The doctors said the
sleep was good because it took away all
strain from the nerves. The chances
of the Senator's recovery were improved.
"Twentyfour hours ago his chances were
one in hundred, now the chances are one
in twenty-five that he will recover. He
has been steadily improving for the past
four hours" The patient again went to
sleep after the departure Of the doctors.
They will not return until morning.
SLIGHTLY WORSE.
NEW YORK, April 12, / A. M.-Dr. Hart
ley issued the following bulletin at 1890
o'clock this morning: "Senator Conklings
condition has changed slightly for the
worse. His temperature is one degree
more than it was at o o'clock last night,
when it was 100 degrees, and his pulse beats
six degrees faster to the minute than it did
at that hour, when it was 80 degrees. This
indicates a return of the delirious fever.n

VICTORIA BEHIND THE THRONE.
No Telling Yet What Will be the Out
come of the SQuabble.


BERLIN, April 1.-THE Post says that all
fear of Prince Bismarck resigning has dis
appeared and that the bethrothal of Princess
Victoria to Prince Alexander of Batten-
berg has been abandoned.
The National ZeitUng says that this
statement goes too far; that the Emperor,
in compliance with Prince Bismarcks
wishes, has postponed tho visit of Prince
Alexander, but that the Empress still de-
slres to hasten the affair.
THE EMPRESS TO HER SEX.
The Empress, replying to an address pre-
sented to her by the women of Berlin, says:
II thank you from the bottom of my heart
for your sincere sympathy. A heavy blow
has fallen upon our house and nation in the
death Of our great and dearly beloved En-
peror. With you, | trust that God will
grant my husband speedy recovery. | thank
you also for the confidence expressed with
such warmth in my endeavors for the
common welfare. For number of years
it has been permitted me to labor with the
women of Berlin for the good of the female
sex, for their education and for the allevia-
ton Of their material and social wretched-
ness. Thanks to the intelligent and self-sac-
rilcing aid extended TO me much has
been accomplished, but more remains
to be achieved. With sincere devotion and
eager enthusiasm place my whole strength
at the service of our people. confidently
expect from the women Of Berlin, as well,
as the rest of Germany after the many
evidences that have reached me, that they
will in the future, as in the past, readily
work with me in the great tasks devolving
on womankind, namely, to alleviate distress
and suffering, create pure happiness and lay
n sure foundation for all truly human
virtues by proper nurture of the young"

LONDON, April 1.-THE Lancet says the

The House Committee Will Not Re

WAsHINGToN, April 11.-There will be
no haste among the Democrats in the House
to report the bond bill as amended by the
Senate. 1t will probably not be reported

Ways and Means until after the tariff bill
has been disposed of in the House. Mean
while the impression among the Senators
and Representatives is that it has already
served its purpose by assuring the Presi-
dent and the Secretary of the Treasury
that they have authority to buy bonds with
the surplus a member of the Senate FL
nance Committee said to-day: 81 have no
doubt now that the President and the Secre-
tary of the Treasury will buy bonds with
