BERLIN, May 12.-The Emperor has again
passed good day. Baseless reports circu-
lated this evening that there had been
recurrence of Inflammation caused general
excitement, till the results of the inquiries
at the palace were published. The official
news concerning his condition is not entirely
trustworthy, as the doctors join in conceal
ment of the worst phases of his malady,
and in making the best Of any change for
the better, but reliable information
that has been indirectly obtained,
tend toward hope that the Emperor's
life will be prolonged beyond recent expec-
tations. A favorable symptom is his
increasing strength. To-day his efforts to
walk about the room were fairly success

limbs Now. with slight assistance, he is
able to take an occasional turn up and
down the room. His fever i'll the morning
is very slight, but increases toward night
He enjoys intervals of repose, deep, and re-
freshing. His breathing is now seldom

THE EMPRESS.
The Empress visits his bedside every
morning awaits his waking, and remains
till the doctors assemble for consultation
when she withdraws TO meet her daughters
to go out riding. The regular medical
counsel now consists Of Drs Mackenzie
Wegner, Krause, Howell and Leyden. On
Tuesday of each week DR.. Senator, and on
Fridays DR.. Bardeleben, both adherents of
the treatment practiced by DR.. Mackenzie,
attend special consultations. Since Tues
day the weather has been bitter cold, and
the greatest precaution is taken in airing
the room to prevent the slightest
draught or change in the temperature The
Emperor is receiving fewer official reports
than formally, while the Empress endeavors
to limit business by curtailing the number
of receptions, and seeks to alleviate the
tedium by the perusal of light literature
The Emperor feels gratified at receiving
choice bouquets and wreaths daily from all
parts of Germany, England and Italy He
also receives an immense number of letters,
many of which he insists shall be read to him.
THE REMOVAL TO PoTSDAM
The doctors are hopeful that they will be
able to remove their patient to the Fred
erichskron palace at Potsdam early in June,
when DR.. Mackenzie will take weeks holi-
day.

panied by the Grand Duchess of Baden,

The result of to-day's examination of the
Emperors throat discourages every hope
Of more than momentary recovery.

difficulty in swallowing is slight, but the
CHECK placed upon the extension of the
disease has been only partially successful.
Ever one who sees the Emperor is struck
by his wasted appearance. Before the last
relapse he didn't look like a sufferer from q
mortal aiment-now he is worn and pallid,
and the marks of his long illness are on his
face and form.
