RALLY OF THE EMPEROR.
THE CHANGE FOR THE BETTER A
SURPRISE TO ALL.


the Temporary Abatement of the
Ravages of the Insidious Disease
Wednesdays State Banquet of
Splendor Unparalleled in a Century.
[Copwi0ht 1888 bv Neto York associated Press
BERLIN, April 2S-The end of the week
sees an unlocked for change in the Empe-
ror's condition, and the feeling of relief and
JOY at the good news can be plainly read in
the faces of the daily visitors to the SchloSs.
There is every reason to believe that no
further complications will set in, at least
for some weeks, now that the dangers of
the crisis are over. The original dis
ease, however, is insidious in its
progress, and the final result is only
postponed. The North German Gazette,
which usually takes pessimist view of the
Emperor's case, says: "At any rate the local
disease is unusually slow in progress.
Even now one can speak neither
of a very material extension of
the malady, nor of its SO much
dreaded spreading to other and especially
vital organs.n This extract rather reflects
the reaction that has taken place in the
German press since the admitted success of
DR.. Mackenzie's treatment, and the now al
most equally admitted fact that the recent
crisis was mainly due to Dr. Bergman's
futile attempt to insert new canula.
TO STICK TO THE TRUTH.
DR.. Bergman recently said to Dr. Mac
kenzie: "It matters little what the feelings
cf the German people may be, but l have
my reputation to preserve, and will sign
nothing that is contrary to the truth" The
fact that DR.. Bergman signed the recent
bulletins is, therefore, Of exceptional i'm
pOrtance.
One of the physicians attending the EN-
peror expressed his views as follows: "Con-
siderinG the gravity of the Emperor's NAL
ady his condition is as good as could be
hoped, but fresh crisis may come at any
moment. Nevertheless, apart from acci-
dents, new developments are not expected
for a month or six weeks. The strong con-
stitution of the Emperor may carry him
over this, but it is useless to deceive our
selves and hope too much.
The Emperor was very much encouraged
yesterday by reading the report of the case
Of Hungarian school master who submit
ted to tracheotomy in 1881 and is still in
fair health.
FURTHER SIGN.
As further sign that the present danger
is past, NJ. Herbette, the French Minister,
who has delayed his departure a fortnight
in consequence of the crisis, has arranged
to return to Paris Tuesday. 1t is reported
also that the Grand Duchess of Baden talks
of leaving Charlottenburg.
After her drive to Berlin Wednesday,
Queen Victoria was SO pleased with the
hearty reception accorded to her by the
people that she Immediately telegraphed to
Lord Salisbury a detailed account of the
warm welcome she received She was all
the more pleaseds because it had even been
suggested to her not TO come to Berlin, as 1t
was feared she would be cody received by
the people. Nothing, however, could in
duce her to forego her visit to the Emperor's
sickbed.
WEDNESDAYS STATE BANQUET
Wednesdays state banquet is the univer-
sal theme Of discussion. Never since the
last century had such splendoc been wit
messed on the Charlottenburg Schloss. The
beautiful gallery was transformed in to a
hall of surprising grandeur. prominent
among the decorations being Chinese and
japanese vases, presented by the Dutch to
the Great ElectOr. The floor was covered
with beautiful Smyrna carpets, and the
rooms were lighted with silver chandeliers
The dinner service was of gold, and the
table decorations and flowers were magnifi-
cent. The chairs ere covered with purple
velvet The. windows were draped with
curtains of. light red silk. All the ladies
were dressed in black, and the gentlemen
wore uniforms The Queen was extremely
gracious to Prince Bismarck. She insisted
that he be seated, saying: Il know that
long standing is not good for your leg"
RESULTS NOT DIvULGED.
The official organs have little to say of
the results Of the interview, beyond COM
menting upon the eminent satisfaction
shown by both the Queen and Chancellor.
Other journals make numerous assertions in
regard to the interview, but they are
unworthy of attention, as, also, is the re-
port that the Emperor appointed the Queen
honorary chief Of the Life Guard regi-
ment in memory of her visit. One of the
particular reasons for holding the military
review was that the Queen had expressed
desire to see the regiment in which Prince
Henry OF Battenburg was formerly a
lieutenant.
A correspondent of the Munich ALL
gemeine Zeitung says, with reference to
the attack upon the Queen and Empress;
"Here in Alsace Lorraine, we can almost
lay our hands on the mischief this wild
noise has DONE and we therefore regard it
with double pain and indignation"
MEETINGS OF THE MINISTER'S.
The council of ministers meets daily,
Count Herbert Bismarck assisting in their
deliberations.
The recent Chancellor crisis arising from
the pr posed marriage Of Princess Victoria
and Prince Alexander, of Battenburg, was
aggravated by the Emperor insisting that
the decisions Of the council, which formerly
were submitted to Emperor William in
Prince Bismarck's name, should now be
submitted in manner showing by what
authorities, giving the names of the coun-
sellors, they have been arrived at. Prince
Bismarck at first held out for a solidarity,
but eventually he acceded to the Emperor's
wish. Alotner source of trouble was
the appearance of a joint memorial
by the kingdoms Of Bavaria, Saxony,
Wurtemberg and Baden, setting forth that
owing 81 the delicate state Of the Empe-
rors health and the inexperience OF the
Grown Prince, it is advisable that the su-
preme power Of declaring war and conclud-
ing peace should be vested in tho Reicbstag,
instead Of remaining with the Emperor
No reply has as yet been sent TO this memo
rial.

Emperor's condition is unchanged. He
