BERLIN April 2s The end of the week sees
an unhoped for change IN the Emperors 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 is every
reason to believe that further complications
will set in, at least for some weeks, now that the
dangers of the crisis over. The original DIS
ease, however, is insidious its progress and
the final result is only postponed. The North

sign nothing that is contrary to the truth" The

the gravity of the Emperor.s maady, his con-

crisis may come at any moment Nevertheless,
apart from accidents, new developments not
expected for month or six weeks The strong
constitution of the Emperor may carry him
over this, but it is useless to deceive ourselves
and hope too much"
The Emperor much encouraged yester-
day by reading report of the case of Hun

tracheotomy in 1881, and is still in fair health.
