A Change for the Better Causes a Revival OF
Hope at the German Capital.
LONDON, April 1.-THE German Emperor
passed somewhat quieter night. Tho Grown
Prince and Prince Henry renamed at the Castle
all night The National Zeitung says the EN-
perors new troubis is not a case of simple
bronchial Inflammation. but of extension of
the disease in the larynx TO the bronchial tubes
and thus to the lungs themselves. This new
complication is the result of what occurred last
week. The canula, not lying in its proper posi-
ton, became stopped up, and the secretion from
the larynx, instead of finding outlet through
the canula, passed along outside of it into the
bronchial tubes producing Inflammation.
The Emperor slept half the night without any
considerable breaks. He shortly after IL
and afterwards appeared at the window of his
bedroom. The fever is abating and his appe-
tite has improved. His respiration has also inn
proved and more hopeful feeling is beginning
to prevail The consultation of physicians this
morning il reported to have resulted in an
agreement that there is no Inflammation of the
lungs and that the bronchitis is abating. In
fact. it is said that there is a divergence OF
opinion among the doctors as to whether bron-
chitis has appeared at all, or whether the fever
able to an abscess in the trachea. If the latter
is the case, it is considered probable that the
crisis in the Empsrors condition will be over
come.
All of the dispatches received from Berlin mp
to midnight confirm the previous reports that
Emperor Fredericks condition is improving.
His temperature is much lower than it was this
morning, his respiration slower and the symp-

now assert that there is no fear of pneumonia.
and express confidence in their ability to remove
the bronchial irritation upon which the fear OF
Inflammation of the lungs has been founded
After making his appearance at the window to-
day the Emperor transacted quantity Of state
business involving considerable writing
The Emperor had better day to-day He
coughs and spits less than yesterday, and there
is now not SO much fear OF the supervention of
pneumonia, the bronchitis being limited. The
doctors incline to the theory of the formation of
small abscesses, which would explain the in
crease OF temperature. A new canula will be
inserted in the Enperors throat tomorrow
The Emperor occupied most of the afternoon
in writing. Tns evening he expressed desire
to see Professor Leiden, who, accordingly was
called at 0 p. NJ
Though the fever increased tonight. there
are no further unfavorable symptoms.
The Emperor's temperature on Monday
reached 1899 Fahrenheit, and his pulse 104 Il
is reported that his nurse has been dismissed for
imp4rting to the Cologne Gazette false reports
to the detriment of DR.. Mackenzie.
The Emperor to-day appeared at his window,
dressed in q generals uniform and wearing
white waistcoat. The peoples sh outs of joy at
seeing him were easily audible in the royal
apartment. The Emperor has a good appetite
and has repeatedly taken milk and egg and strong
beef tea He keeps in half sitting position on
the couch to prevent coughing. The Empress is
in constant attendance. When the Emperor
appeared at the window and bowed to the crowd
outside the palace. there q scene of inde-
scribable enthusiasm. Reassurng statements
rapidly spread. The crowd stopped Prof Sera-
tors carriage to inquire about the Emperor The
Professor replied, II am happy to say the EN-
peror is better" Gen. Rauche, when riding
past, stopped his horse and called out to the
people: ''His Majesty has slept fairly for several
hours and feels much more comfortable
The doctors became anxious tonight, and
joined in asking Prof. Leiden to come to the
castle. The Professor remained an hour. and
made another examination. He found nothing
to justify apprehension respecting the condition
of the lungs. neither had the bronchitis ex-
tended. Profs Senator and Leiden visit the
Emperor alternately, because . double examina-
tion By auscultation causes his Majesty pain.
DIR. Bergman adhsrss to the opinion that de-
tached portions of the larynx have reached the
lungs but If this were so. it is maintained, the
bronchitis would spread
MIDNIeHT.-The Emperor has had two hours
of refreshing sleep. Dr. Krause remains with
the patient az the special request Of the Emperor
and Empress. There is no ground for appre-
hending Immediate danger.
