HOW MUCH MORE OF THIS
Emperor Frederick Asks the Above Of
His Doctors.
HIS FEVER CONTINUES HIGH.

Final Act---The Coming Emperor's
Proclamation.

BFFIIN, April 21.-IEe CTIeTor'sa
petite is failing. His temperature
throughout the day has been over thirty
nine degrees Celsius. His breathing is
hard, and he has occasional shivers. 1t
is not expected that his lungs will re-
main long unaffected. The emperor re-
Gently wrote to the crown prince on a
piece of paper, LEARN to suffer with
out complaining. That is the single
thing I can teach thee" This after
noon the emperor received the whole of
the imperial family. Empress Augusta
and Prince Bismarck came in to his
apartment at O'Clock and remained an
hour. The pus discharged from his
throat continues to thicken, and the
doctors consider this a bad symptom.
After paroxysm of difficult breathing,
preceding discharge OF puS. this morn
ing, the emperor wrote on slip of paper,
GLOW much longer of this?'' For the first
time since the final crisis set in the
sufferer yesterday and to-day displayed
signs OF reStlesSneSs and an irritable
temper, questioning the dOingS of the
ing and cOuntermanding orders. The
fever does not show signs of abating,.
his temperature for the day averaging
1O3-1O Fahrenheit. The question the
emperor put is in everybody's mind,
and the attendants and doctors are
assailed on every hand with
the inquiry, Chow much longer?"
The physicians are studiOusly
silent, but it is permitted to
be known that the emperor's life may
be prolonged for two weeks, though
any moment may bring the last phase
of the malady-death by sutfocation.
Empress Victoria watches closely at the
emperor's bedside. Besides curtailing
the interviews with other members of
the family, she will not permit any Of
ficials to have access to the emperor UNI
less he especially desires it. To-day

THE MINISTERIAL COUNCIL
held this afternoon, over which the
crown prince presided. Iu long inter-
view between the crown prince and his
father and mother. On Thursday, the
emperor referred to the position of the
empress after his death. Prince Bis
marck and the empress appear to have
become reconciled, and the chancellor
never fails, after leaving the emperor,
to hold a long conversation with the
empress. A report which is cur
rent and gains credence, that the
council of ministers has already dis
cussed the terms of the proclamation to
be issued by the coming emperor. The
Empress Augusta, the Grand Duke and
Grand Duchess of Baden and the Duke
and Duchess of aXe-Meiningen came
to the castle this afternoon and were
permitted to see the emperor for short
time. The only report made to-day was
that of Gen. Won Winterfeldt. The
North German Gazette tonight states
that the discharge of puS is some
what diminished. The emperor's ap-
petite is not great, but he consumes
sufficient quantity of specially prepared
food. His brain remains clear and his
capacity for business is not lessened.
The North German Gazette proceeds
to comment upon the emperOr's
exceptional courage during his ill
ness. The paper states that
while converSing recently with
the crown prince through the medium
of pencil and paper, he wrote: Learn
to suffer without complaint that is all l
can teach thee" The Gazette also
records the emperor's reply to Gen.
Won BiumenthaPs letter hoping his
speedy recovery: MY dear Blumenthal,
l can hardly bear it any longer" Profs.
Leyden and Senator, on returning to
Berlin tonight, reported that the patient
was quieter.
