The German Emperor.

Copyright 1885, by the New York Associated Press.
BERLIN, April 28.-The end of the week sees
an unhoped-for change in the Emperor's con
dition, and a feeling Of relief and joy at the
good news can be plainly read in the faces OF the
daily visitors to the schloss There il 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 it's progress and
the final result is only postponed. The North
German Gazette, which usually takes pessi-
mist view of the Emperor's case, says: 'sAt any
rate, the local disease is unusually slow in prog
ress. Even now one can speak neither OF
very material extension of the malady nor OF it's
SO much dreaded spreading to other. and es-
pecially to vital organs" 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 almost
equally admitted fact that the recent crisis was
mainly due to DIR. Bergmann's futile attempts
said to DIR. Mackenzie: ut matters little what
the feelings of the German people may be, but
| have my reputation to preserve, and will
sign nothing that is contrary to the truth The
fact that DIR. Bergman signed the recent bull
letn is, therefore. of exceptional Importance.
Ono of the physicians attending the Emperor
. ms views as follows; Gons s.a
ditlon is as good as could be hoped. but fresh
crisis may come at any moment Nevertheless,
apart from accidents, new developments are not
expected for q month or six weeks. The strong
constitution of the Emperor may carry him
over this, but it is useless TO deceive ourselves
ana nope zoo mucl."
The Emperor was much encouraged yester-
day by reading report of the case of Hun
gAriau school-master who submitted to
tracheotomy in 1881. and is still in fair health.
As q further sign that present danger is passed,
NJ. Herbetts, the French minister, who has de-
layed his departure a fortnight in consequence
of the crisis has arranged to return to Paris on
Tuesday. It is reported also. that the Grand
Duchess Of Baden talks OF leaving Charlotten-
burg.
After her drive to Berlin, on Wednesday,
Queen Victoria was pleased with the hearty
reception accorded her by the people that she
Immediately autographed TO Lord Salisbury de-
tailed account of the welcome she re-
ceived. She was all the more pleased because
it had even been suggested to her not TO come to
Berlin. as il was feared she would be coolly re-
ceived by the people. Nothing, however. could
induce her TO forego her visit to the Emperors
sick-bed.
The Cologne Gazette claims to have in it's pos
sion copy of letter written by DIR. Mackenzie
to Professor Bergman asking the latter to
hasten to Chariottenburg TO adjust new canula
in the Emperor's larynx The letter the Gazette
threatens to use in the event OF DR.. Mackenzie
bringing suit for criminal libel. as he has ex-
pressed his intention OF doing.
