BERLIN May 5.-The Emperor's sleep was
unbroken for several hours toward morning.
II was the best sleep he has enjoyed for
many weeks, and he awoke from II with a
good appetite and in good spirits. He asked
the physicians II he would be able to enjoy
the open air, but the doctors, after holding
a consultation, decided In the negative.
The Emperor dined with his family and this
afternoon took long rest and slept for a
considerable time. His temperature re-
mains almost normal; though his fever has
abated, his inquietude REGARDING 'thc slow
ness Of the return Of strength does not
lessen. His attempt TO walk yesterday aud
today proved his utter weakness Of his
limbs. lie could not walk a step, though
lac was able TO stand occasionally. The
danger is that in the event OF recurrence of
the crisis, with his powers Of resistance re-
duced to the minimum, there will be no
chance for him TO survive long.
The aluminium canula now used has been
positive relief, as during the nights since
Il was first inserted the Empcror's fits OF
coughing have decreased. On Thursday the
Emperor had five attacks Of coughing.
which required the cleansing Of the canula.
Yesterday he had only three such attacks

work. Today he was wheeled from his bed
room into the hall, where lac received oral
reports. His condition Is certainly q credit

that the Emperor has again entered upon u
period OF comparative freedom from the
worst symptoms Of his malndy, which have
hitherto been followed by increasingly dan
gcrOus crises. DIR. Mackenzie will not take
n holiday until the Emperor can venture In
the open air. The weather grows warmer
daily. A cottage will be erected In the
Schloss park for the Empcror's especial com
fort, which will be his iirst place Of rest.
The crown prince, though absorbed in his
extensive duties, confcrs with the Empress
daily, apart from his visit 10 his father. This
marked change IN the crown princes de-
mcanor was coincdcnt with the visit 81
