RALLY OF THE KAISER.
He Attempts to Walk His Fever
Almost Disappears.

BERLIN, May A bulletin issued this
morning said the Emperor was free from
fever this morning, and was able to rise.
His strength is gradually increasing. No
further bulletins will be issued unless the
Emperor relapSes.
The Emperor was less feverish this even
ing. The present favorable symptoms give
ground to hope that he will soon overcome
the weakness remaining from the recent
crisis. The weakness especially affects his
legs. He made slight attempts to walk to-
day. He passed much time in the tower
saloon. The weather still prevents his TAX
ing outdoor exercise. The EN- oeror makes
himself understood more than garmerly by
whispers and signs, but he uses no phonetic
system.
The VoSsiche Zeitung says it has learned
from a reliable source that the local disease
in the Emperor's throat has little incl eased
since the Emperor left San Reno.
Emperor Frederick this evening dlned
with the Crown Prince and Princess, the
Empress and his three daughters.
