BERLIN, May 1g.-Fsr the FIRST time since
his critical relapse the Emperor has Bees
seen to-day outside OF the Schlcss. Shortly
after o'clock the people assembled In front
OF the palace were gratifled By the appear
snce Of the Emperor and Empress in an open
carriage. The three princssses followed In
a second carriage, ana in the thire were Dr.
Mackenzie and General Wiaterfeld. The
imperial carriage proceeded very slowly,
and enabled rasnv people 70 come fsruars
and present flowers to the Emperor and
Empress, who received them till the carriage
was hesped vita them. The weather was
bright, and tie heat was almost that OF
midsummer. The Emperor still bears
marked traces Of fever, but bis appearance
daily improves. The drive was continued
to the shooting lodge st Grunewsld, aad
after a shert rest the inperisl family re-
turned to the Schloss. Along the route the
Emperor acknowledged the salutes OF the
people with gesture OF the hand. During
the drive the Emperor rensined recllning
on pillows. Every day this week
showed perceptible increase OF
general strength. The first cuttings in the
Schloss Park were followed by restessness
during the earlier period Of the night, sue
ceeded BY refreshisE sleep. Before to-day.s
drive he passed several hours in the park
reading, writing, AVID hearing reports. A
marquee Is erected ca the lawn behind the
Schiess. 1t has two windows and u car
petod. The interlsr Is furnished Win
telescope table, couehes, and folding sofa--
especially made for tho Gippersr's uss Ia
the open air. The latter was greatly en-
loved to-day, and the invild delayed his re-
turp % his resms until constrained to do 80
by DR.. Mackenzie. While walking be leSks
very frail, and 1. obliged to lean on staff.
Every step is taken with evident Ebert.
He takes strong interest in tae prepare
lions for the wedding Of Prince Henry and
Princess Irene. II Is expected that the
marriage, instead Of being semi'priVate, viii
be Court celebration associated with the
Empersrs recovery. Three hundred and
twenty guests have been invited, Including
the Prlsce OF Wales, the King Of saxeny,
the Grand Duke and the Grand Duchess OF
Baden, the Prince and Princess OF Anhall,
the Crown Prince OF Greece, aud all the
members OF the HeheBZOllern and Hesse
families. The weddins.dinner party
will consist Of forty royal personaEes
aud covers for go will be laid at Marsca2l-
staiel for the household and suites oil the
royal guests. The wedding Ceremony will
be performed In the palace chapel, where
fUrtldi attDullsuaAibF1 AiN hNAFN FANff'N%
for the Emperor and Dowager Empress Au-
gu,ta. The Princesses Victoria. Sophie, and
Msraarethe, and the Princess Alice OF Hesse
win be the bridesmaids. Queen Victoria has
sent the bride an entire trosseau OF unusual
masnifcence and also tura OK diamonds,
emerslds, and pearls.
The relations between the Empress and
Bismarck are strained. Before the Chanccl-
lor went 10 VsrZin the Empress submitted to
the Emperor the names OF several Court
officials on whom she desired 10 have CO.'S
ferred distinguished orders. Bismarck pros
tested, and the whole Mini'try signed apaper
stating that II the orders were conferred they
would resign. The Empress then withdrew
the names. The feeling OF bitterness between
the Court and Bismarck's partis2ns IL inteD>
sifed. The Chancellor will return to BeriH
at the end OF next week. The situa>
tien is too critical TO permit OF
further rest for him. The war-drum beats
with subdued resonance, but ever and anon
the Official press reswaSens interest by some
fresh alarm. The Russian preparations are
most oniuous. The news Of the week is to
/ tine effect that Russia has accepted the
| French syndicate's terms for loan.
The North German Gazette and other Gov
eminent organs have received inspiration for

hence the accusation that the Cars agents
are seeking TO foment revolt In Macedonia.

poupces tire celebrated converts on MI. An

a close watch, as At any moment the signal

activities continue, in the mean time, In
southern Russia. Masked batteries are
being rapidly constructed along the shores
Of the Black Sea. between tbe mouth OF the
Dnipper and Odessa, and i@mense stores OF
munitions are being collected at Odessa,

were brought into requisition az store and

WAYS ia Galicla have completed their cOalins
projects.
The latest frontier incident illustrating The
pesltion OF affairs Is the arrest ~ the Rus
