 BERLIN, April 22.-A special edition of the North German Gazette published at 1:55 this afternoon says: Although the Emperor's rest last night was frequently broken by fits of coughing and expectoration, he enjoyed intervals of quiet sleep, which, taken in conjunction with slight abatement of his fever, had strengthening effect and put him in better spirits. Despite his small ap- petite he took this morning fair quantity of nourishment, chiefly milk.
 The 9 a. m. bulletin said: 'tThe Emperor passed a more quiet night. His fever has moderated and his general condition is bet- ter."
 The bulletin issued at p. m. said that the Emperor had passed pretty good day with less fever than on former days, but his temperature began to rise toward evening.
 The Emperor was disturbed by coughing until p. m., but then slept until o'clock. His temperature was never above 102. Dur ing the day it was 101. The Emperor has ennobled Bankers Schwabach and Hainamer.
 The doctors attending the Emperor de- clare that the published descriptions of the Emperor's sufferings, with the exception of the difficulty in breathing, are exaggerated. He suffers from no local pain whatever. To- day has been one of the best he has had since the present illness began: Absolute rest is still imperative. it is impossi- ble to predict whether or not the improvement will continue. Charlottenburg was full of visitors to-day. An endless stream of carriages moved to and fro be- 1s~ nx,C Cat urday Prince Bismarck reported to the Elm peror the arrangements made for the recep- ton of Queen Victoria and also discussed the question as to who shall represent the Em- peror during the Queens stay. A large nuns Der of fnanciers and artists have been en- nobled in commemoration of the Emperor's accession. Formerly the honor was conferred only upon officers and high officials of the government.
 Saturday was an anxious day in Berlin un- til evening when better accounts of the En- peror's condition were made public. In the morning there were widespread rumors that the end was only question of renewed hope that there is still a chance for the Emperor to get over the attack, but nobody is sanguine. To-day was the birthday of the Emperor's daughter Mar garet. He congratulated the princess in writing. The pus now discharging from the Emperor's throat is thicker than formerly. This is probably a symptom that the abscess is beginning to local. During the day the patient had a re- freshing sleep. The Grand Duchess of Baden asked him if he suffered any pain. He re- piled: 'I only feel uncomfortable occasion ally" Dr. Howell has written to the Cologne Gazette denying that the Emperor had an attack of suffocation on Wednesday night or that his (Hovell's) efforts to readjust the canula caused injury. He says that not drop of blood came until Professor Bergman tried to insert the tube, when blood flowed copiouslv for several hours
