BERLIN, March 31.-The emperor slept
eight hours last night almost without
break. During his sleep he is watched
constantly by either Dr. Houell or DR..
Mackenzie, who, when there is any excess
of coughing, go to the emperors relief.
The necessity for this precaution was seen
at dawn last Thursday when the emperor
was seized with severe fit of coughing,
during which piece of cartilage
was detached which, but for the instant
assistance of DIR. Mackenzie might haye
caused suffocation. Today he looked
fresh, and according to the North German
Gazette, WAS in more buoyant spirits, OBJ
viously being benefited by the night of
complete repose which followed yesterdays
drive.
His official work today was unusually
prolonged. In the forenoon Prince Bis
marck and DIR. Friedburg, minister
of justice, submitted their re-
port on the intended political
amnesty, which, it is expected, will
be issued tomorrow. DR.. Friedberg also
submitted a completed subject under
which all important state questions will
be determined in full ministerial council.
Prince Bismarck is understood to have
finally accepted the project which in its
inception is disfavored as tending to en-
feeble the authority of the chancellor.
Despite the semblance of health and his
increased power the German expert opin-
ion that the disease will have ali early and
fatal termination is still unaltered. The
end will come quickly when it does come

port that DIR. Mackenzie would take

among the Berlin populace in his favor
was completed yesterday. Today he drove
in Inter de Linden by himself and was
greeted with cheers and salutes.
Prince William goes to Ems on the 18th
of April. The state of his health con-
tinues to Gauge great disquietude.
Today Paris advices gravely disturbed

state from the war party, but,
thinks it cannot be done unless President
Carnot can obtain a strong ministry, hav-

in President Carnot prudent statesman,
who is conscious that Boulanger means
anarchy, which will lead to an elector-
ship, and unless the Republicans sup

overthrow of the republic and the extinct
