THE SICK EMPEROR.
The Royal Patient Some Better Yesterday
Queens Trip Postponed.

| BERLIN. April II, 9:45 a. m.-The en-
perer passed somewhat quiet night. The
crown prince and Prince Henry remained
at the castle all night. The National lei
tung says the emperor's new trouble is not
a case OF simple bronchial inflammation but
of an extension of the disease in the larynx
to the bronchial tubes and thus to the
| lungs themselves. The new complication
is the result of what occurred last week.
! 11:40a a. m. The emperor passed toler-
ably fair night last night. He had some
sleep. There is no change for the worse.
The physicians, including Professors Ley
| der and Senatar, are now holding a con-
sultation.
l1:50 a. NJ There is no change in the
favorable condition of the emperor. His
majesty was visited for short time
early this morning by the crown prince.
LONDON, April II, 2 p. ma dispatch
from Berlin to the Exchange telegraph
company says it is learned from direct
source, that the physicians at their con
sultation today, agreed that the emperor s
malady was approaching the last stage.
This news has been guardedly conveyed to
the members of the royal family, it being
lntimated to them that the emperor re
uuires the utmost care, though for the
moment there is no Immediate danger.
The empress has postponed her visit on
Thursday TO Luneberg and Wittenborg.
5p. m.-Emperor Frederick now feels
better He slept half the night without
any considerable breaks He rose shortly
after II O'Clock and afterwards appeared
at the window of his bedroom. The fever
is abating and his appetite has improved.
His respiration has also improved. A
more hopeful feeling is beginning to pre-
vail The consultation of physicians
this morning is reported to have re-
suited in an agreement that there
is no Inflammation of the lungs and
that the bronchitis is abating. In fact
there is divergence. of opinion among
the doctors as to whether bronchitis has
appeared at all, or whether the fever and
the difficulty in breathing were not trace
able to an abscess in the trachea. If the
latter is the case, it is considered probable
that the crisis in the emperor's condition
will be overcome
1904 p. m: "The symptoms of bron-
chitis have considerably diminished
since yesterday, and the fever has
abated. The emperor passed better
night and his general condition is salts
factory. Signed, Mckenzie, Wegner,
Kraus, Howell, Bergman, Leyden and
Senatar."
FLORENCE, April 10.-Queen Victoria
had ordered special train to convey her
to Berlin this morning, but on hearing
that Emperor Frederick's condition was
improved postponed her departure.
The emperor had a better day today.
He coughs and spitS less than yesterday
and there is now not so much fear of pneu-
monia. the bronchitis being limited. The
doctors are inclined to the theory of the
formation of small assesses, which would
explain the increase oty temperature. A
new canula will be inserted in the emperor's
throat tomorrow The emperor occupied
most of the afternoon in writing. This
evening he expressed desire to see Pro
fessor Leyden, who accordingly was called
at p. III. Though the fever increased to
night, there are no further unfavorable
symptoms.
The emperor yesterday evening took a
dose of antipyrine, after which his fever
decreased a degree and his condition after
midnight was more calm. His tempera-
ture this morning was 3S.5 degrees celsius,
his respiration was slower and his breath
ing was but little impeded. An examin-
aGion of his lungs shows that they were
quite free and that there was no symptoms
of inflammation. Although tired and weak
today he was able to receive verbal reports
on matters of state.
