| BERLIN, April 2S-The end of the week
sees unhoped for change in the emperor's
condition, and feeling of relief and JOY
at the good news can plainly be read in the
faces of the daily visitors to the Schloss.
| There Is every reason to believe that no
! furthes complications will occur, at least
| for some weeks, now that the danger of
! the crises are over. The original disease,
however is insidious in its progress, and
the result is only postponed.
The North German Gazette, which
usually takes a pessimst's view of the
emperor's case, says: cat any rate,
the local disease is unusually slow
| in progress. Even now, one can speak
nett her OF a very material extension of the
malady, nor of its SO much dreaded spread
ing to other and to vital organs"
This extract 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 ad-
mitted fact that the recent crisis was
mainly due to Dr. Bergman's futile at
tempt to insert a new canula. DR.. Berg
mann recently said to DR.. Mackenzie: at
matters little what the feelings of the
German people may be, but have my rep
utation to preserve and | will say nothing
contrary to the truth"
The fact that DR.. Bergman signed the
recent bulletins is, therefore, of excep-
tiOnal Importance. One of the physicians
attending the emperor expressed his views
! as follows: considering the gravity of the
emperor's malady, his condition 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 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 was much encouraged yes
terday by reading a report of the case of Il
Hungarian school master who submitted
to tracheotomy in 1881 and is still in fair
! health.
! The emperor ate beef yesterday for the
| first time since the beginning of his recent
! illness. He has abandoned beer as it dis
agrees with him. He now has a spring
| bed made upon his own principle, and
more comfortable than his old bed.
A bulletin issued this morning says the
emperor's condition is unchanged He

After her drive to Berlin, Wednesday,
Queen Victoria was so well pleased with
/ the hearty reception accorded to her by the
people that she Immediately telegraphed
to Lord Salisbury a detailed account of
the reception she received. She was all the
more pleased because it had been suggested
to her not to come to Berlin, as it was
feared she would be coolly received by the
people. Nothing, however, could induce
her to forego her visit to the emperor's sick
bed Wednesdays state banquet is the
universal theme of discussion. Never
since last century had such splendor
| been witnessed i'll Charlottenburg
. Schloss. The beautiful gallery was trans
formed into hall of surprising grandeur,
prominent among the decorations being
Chinese and japanese vases presented by
the merchants to the great elector. The
great floor was covered with beautiful
Smyrna carpets, and the rooms were
| lighted with silver candelabra. The din
ner vice was of gold, and the table dec
orations and flowers were magnificent.
| The chairs were covered with purple vel
vet. The windows were draped with cur
tains of light red silk. All the ladies

of Battenburg, was aggravated by the
emperor insisting that the decision OF the
council which formerly were submitted TO
Emperor William in Bismarck's name,

showing by what majority, giving the
names of the councillors they

Bismarck at first held out for Il solidarity,
/ but eventually acceded to the emperors
wish.
| Another source of trouble was the ap-
| pearance of Joint memorial by the king
doms of Bavaria, SaXony. Wurtemberg
and Baden, setting forth that owing to the
delicate state of the emperor's health and
| the ineXperience of the crown prince, il
was advisable that the supreme power of
declaring war and concluding peace should
he vested in the reichstag instead of re-
| manning with the emperor. No reply has
