The Emperor Growing Worse.

copyrighted, 1888, by n. Y. Associated Press.
Berlin, April 2l.-For the first time
since the final criss set in the emperor
yesterday and to day displayed signs OF
restlessneSs and irritation of temper,
questioning the doings of the doctors and
giving and countermanding orders. The
fever shows no signs of abating, his tenn
perature for the day averaging 1899 tahr-
euheit.
The question the emperor put this
morning is in everybody's mind, and the
attendants and doctors are assailed on
every hand with How much longer?"
The physicians are studionsly silent, but
it is permitted to be known that the en-
peror's life may be prolonged for two
weeks, though any moment may bring
tie last, the phaze Of the malady being
death by suffocation.
Empress Victoria watches closely at the
emperor's bedside. Besides curtalliug
the interviews with other members of the
family, she will not permit any officials to
have access to the emperor unless he
especially desires it.
In a long interview between the crown
pIince and his father and mother on
Thursday, the emperor referred to the
position of the empress after his death.
Prince Bismarck and the empress appear
to have become reconciled, and the chan.
cellor never fails after leaving the emper-
or to hold a long conversation with the
empress.
The North German Gazette comments
on the emperor's exceptional courage dur
ing his illness. The paper States that
while conversing recently with the crown
prince through the medium of pencil and
paper, he wrote: Learn to suffer with
out complaining. That is all | can teach
thee"
The Gazette also records the emperor S
reply to Gen. Won Blumentbal's letter
hoping for his speedy recovery: MY
dear Blumenthal, | can hardly bear it any
longer.
Queen Victoria, during her visit here,
will pass all her time in the Charlotten-
burg palace except when she goes out to
drive and attend a reception which will
be given in her honor by the crown prince
in the Berlin residence. Her stay in
Berlin is certain TO be marked by popular
attention than from any notice of her
presence.
All classes, from the highest to the low
est, share the common feeling hat the
English royalties have steered their way
through circumstances attendant upon the
emperor illness with more regard for
personal gain than for German interest.
This impression has become a conviction
since it has been ascertained what is the
nature of the settlement upon the en-
press arranged during the week. Besides
the 1900, 900 marks allowed the widow
Of the emperor, the empress requires the
right of succession of the Empress
Augustus residence, as fixed by the will
of Emperor William.
This is a small matter, but taken in
conjunction with past events, it gives the
masses the settled sentiment of anti
patty to both the Yictorias.
The emperor's condition is better this
evening, His temperature is lower than
it was in the morning and his breathing
easier. He coughs less frequently and the
discharge of pus does not cause exhaus,
ton. Nevertheless, his condition is worse,
showing symptoms of prameia.

Fraiey rays UP.

ST. Louis. April 2I.- Moses Fralcy,
the big bear who was short 5000. 900
bushels of wheat and corn early this week
and called for a settlement, was iR~ the
grain pit this-morning as active ass ever,
but was met with opposition from other
traders. lie had some difficulty in max
ing deals, and suddenly opened up with
a TRADE of not particularly choice language
to the effect that he had paid out $780,
600 in St, Louis, hence his demand for Il
settlement. and the money was ready for
any who had failed to call After that he
met with better feeling and trade. His
losses will not reach half a million, as at
first stated, and as he pays 100 per cent
on the dollar, and has plenty left, he is
not believed to be in so bad Il fix as was at
first stated by himself.
