 BERLIN, April 19.-6:30 p. m.-The im- provsment noted this morning is maintained. The Emperers temperature has fallen to 36.3 0. and his respiration is quieter. Thefe are no indications of extension of the disease to the lungs, but bronchial rattlings are audi ble at different points. The Emperor's appe- tite is good To-day he ate without effort a dinner selected by himself.
 9:30 p. m.-The Emperor has not left his bed today and the accounts current of his suffering are distressing. He said to Chap lain Koegel: "Yeu pray for my preservation; rather pray for my release" He perseveres in transacting business and does not cease writing. The Empress is often summoned to decipher the almost illegible characters. As result of family negotiations jointure of 12, 900, 900 marks is secured to the Empress and Prince Henry inherits 100000 marks upon the Emperor's death.
 Midnight.-The Emperor's condition is somewhat more favorable. His fever is lower and his respiration easier.
 The Reichsanzeiger publishes the following bulletin timed 9:30 p.m.: On the whole the Emperor is less feverish than he was yester- day. In the course of the day rather large quantity of pus has been discharged. The patients breathing is now more quiet.
 The Emperor takes mostly eggs beaten up in beef tea to the consistency of cream and drinks 8 good deal of milk. On Prof. Ley don's advice the ministers of war and marine to-day visited the Emperor, but he was una ble to hear their reports.
 The Vossische Zeitung explains that an at tendant was dismissed because he asked the patient, questions respecting his breathing tending to excite unnecessary alarm.
 This morning Emperor Frederick wrote on a slip of paper that he felt muck better. He ate fairly good breakfast and wanted to get up, but the doctors would not let him rise. The fact that the doctors cannot find evil dence of disease of the lungs in no way proves that the lungs are not affected. The results of the operation of trscheotomy ren- der it difficult to discover the presence of lung troubles. There is large crowd con tinuously watching the castle. The doctors on leaving the palace were eagerly piled with questions. Empress Augusta arrived at the palace at midday and remained at the Em- peror's bedside half an hour. The doc tors held 8 consultation at 9:30 and agreed that the Emperor was better. The discharge which occurred this afternoon gave him much relief. The patients breathing is free and almost normal. It tends, however, to prove that Dr. Moellenzie's diagnosis of abscess in the trachea was correct. The rumor that Dr. Bergman yesterday discov- cred an indication that cancer is forming is not confirmed.
 It is reported that preparations for the marriage of Prince Henry and Princess Irene, of Hesse, are to be hurried and that the wedding will take place in Q few days.
