BERLIN, April 2S.-The end OF the week
sees an unhoped for change in the emper-
ors condition, and 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 no fur
ther complications will set In, at least for
some weeks, now that the dangers Of a cri-
sis are over. The original disease, how
ever, is insidious in its progress, and the
finel result Is only postponed. The North
simistic view of the emperor's case says:
''At any rate the local disease
is unusually slow in progress. Even
now one can speak neither of
very material extension OF the malady nor
Of its so much dreaded spreading 70 other
and especially vital organs" This extract
rather reflects q reaction taking place In the
German press since 1T admitted the success
of Dr. MacKenzies treatment and now al.
most equally admitted the fact that the re-
cent crisis was mainly due to DR.. Berg
manns futile attempts to insert new
camilla
DR.. Bergmann recently said to DIR. Mac
henze: 1T matters little what the feelings
OF the German people may be, but will
sign nothing that is contrary to truth"
| The fact that DR.. Bergmaun signed the
recent bulletins Is therefore an exception
of Importance. One of the physicians at
tending the EN- peror expressed his views as
follows. considering the gravity of the
emperor's case, already, his condition is as
good as could be hoped for, but fresh
crisis may come at any moment, neverthe-
less, from accidents or new developments
not expected for month or six weeks.
The strong constitution of the emperor
may carry him over this, but 1t is useless
to deceive ourselves and hope too much"

Hungarian schoolmaster who submitted to
tracheotomy in 1881. and is still in fair
health. AS further sign that the present
danger is past, M. Herbette, tile French
minister, who has delayed his departure a
fortnight in consequence of the crisis, has
arranged to return to Paris Tuesday. 1t is
reported also that the Grand Duchess of
Baden talks of leaving Charottenburg.
After her drive to Berlin Wednesday
QUEEN VICTORIA
was so pleased with the hearty reception
accorded her by the people that she i'm
inediately telegraphed to Lord Salisbury a
detailed account Of the warm welcome she
received. She was all the more pleased be-
cause it had even been suggested to her not
to come to Berlin, as it was feared she
would be cooley received by the people.
Nothing, however, could induce her to
forego her visit to the
EMPERoRs SICK BED.
Wednesday. The state banquet is the uni
versal theme of discussion Never since
the last century had such splendor been
witnessed in Charlottenburg schloss. The
beautiful gallery was transformed into a
hall of SURPRISING grandeur. Prominent
among the decorations being Chinese and
Japanese vases presented by merchants to
the great elector. The floor was covered
with beautiful Smyrna carpets and and the
rooms were lighted with silver Candida
bruins. The dinner service
WAS OF GOLD
and the table decorations of flowers were
magnificent. The chairs were covered with
purple velvet and the windows were draped
with curtains of light red silk. AL, the
ladies were dressed lin black, and the
gentlemen wore uniforms. The queen was
extremely gracious to Prince Bismarck
She insisted that he be seated. saying: II
know that long standing is not good for
your leg"
The official organs have little to say of
the results of the interview, beyond COM
menting upon the evident satisfaction
shown by both the queen and the chancel-
lor. Other journals make numerous asser-
tions in regard to the interview, but they
are unworthy OF attention, as also is the
report that the emperor appointed the
queen an honorary chief of the Light Guard
regiment in memory OF her visit
ihe reason for holding the review was
rather that the queen expressed a, desire
TO see regiment in which Prince
HENRY OF BATTENBURG
was formerly lieutenant.
A correspondent OF tho Munich Allgem-
cine Ieitung says With reference to the
attacks upon the queen and empress:
Here IN Alsace- Lorrain we can almost
lay our hands on the mischief which this
wild noise has done, and we therefore re-
gard 1t with doubt, pain and indignation:
Count Herbert Bismarck assisting in the
deliberations. The recent chancellor
crisis arising from the proposed mar
riage OF the PrincessV ictoria and Prince
Alexander OF BattenburE, was aggravated
by the emperor insisting thai the decis-
ions OF the council which formerly
were submitted to Emperor William
in Bsmarck's name, should now be sub.
mitted in a manner showing by what ma
iorites, and giving the names of the coun-
cilors, they hadabeen arrived at. Prince
Bismarck at first held out for solidarity,
but eventually he acceeded to

Another source of trouble was the appear

Business transactions on the bourse to-

held, and there was no material change In
prices. The annual bank reports are now
