breathing became less easy.

Thi6 afternoon tbe Emperor _ fever was farther
isminished and his general condition waa more
iatislactory. Yesterday Dr. Mackenzie inserted
bu aluminum tube, lt being lighter titan tho sil?
ver one which tho Emperor was using
Ibe disch<irge of pus from the throat, which haa
oontlnuod at intervals since yesterday, greatly re
jrv.'d the Emperor. Ills respiration fell and ths
{ever decreased.
The Empress expressed herself to-day as mers
hopeful, though the doctors deprecated a sanguine
View of tbe Emperor's condition. If the fever
disappears the doctors will permit His Majesty Ut
take a drive to-morrow. Since thc insertion of tho
dumiuum tube the Emperor hss experienced greater
lase. It is semi-officially denied that opiates have
' >een _?**_ to induce sleep, and that oedema of tho
feet bas supervened. Ths Emperor waa able to?
day to receive General von Winterfold and Count
von SeckenJorf.
The reassuring effeot of to-day's news was plainly
Shown in the comparative oessation of the commo?
tion and excitement that in recent days have been
witnessed in the vicinity of the Cliarlottenburg
palace. Ouly mem burs of the Imperial family and
, few oflluials visited the palace. The gathering
of tbe public outside tbe palace did not number
more than 200 at any one time.. The Crown Prince
and Crown Princess returned to Berlin this event?
ing.
Emperor Frederick was anxious to rise to-d_r.
but thn doctors forbade his doing so, because hs
was still feverish. He worked propped up in bed.
Although he continues to Improve, bis tempera?
ture bas fallen only one-tenth of a degree Celsius
in twenty-four hours. Thc doctors, therefore, ad?
vise him to exercise great caution. There are no
symptoms of pyaemia.* Much credit is acoorded
to Dr. Mackenzie for the care and skill shown by
bim. Several papers which havo hitherto at?
tacked him have now changed tone
London. April 20.-A dispatch to ths Ex-hangs
Telegraph Company, from B*.lin, says that an

appeal, that my father suffered only a flight stroke of

The Boulangerist party, following, attacked th*
students with loaded stlrk*, and many were wounded.
Finally the polios separated tbe oombatant* and ar?
rested a large number of them.
A majority of the Paris papers consider the votes
taken lu Ihe Chamber of Deputies yesterday to be
contradictory, aa, after expressing confidence In tbe
Cabinet, the Chamber declared la favor of an Imme?
diate revision of tbe Constitution, notwithstanding,
the foot tiiat M. Floquet, Prealdent of tho Council
and Minister of the Interior, had asked lt to postpon*
tk* consideration of the question.
The Boulangerist man I fed at lons were continued

office of the " Cocarde," the Boulangerist newspaper.
Some arrests wero made, bot the person* taken into
outtody were subsequently released.
General Boulanger Ignored the appeals of hundred*
of friends to avoid publicity. On entering the Salle
de la Pal., of the Chamber of Deputies, a crowd of
Deputies craned forward to see him, and General
Boulanger, thinking they manifested sympathy for
him, smiled. Tho storm Instantly broke, the Dep?
uties crying: " A bas le Dictatour:" "A bas Bou?
langer 1" Keys wore used a* whistle* and for a
time pandemonium reigned. Anger convulsed every
face. For a moment the General flinched, but he
Immediately regained his .elf possession and entered
the Chamber laughing, taking a seat near M. Pyat.
Toward midnight there was an uproarious Bou?
langerist demonstration in tbe Place de Bourse. A
strong body of police drove the crowd back to the
Rue Montmartre and made several arrests. In a
short tim* the uproar had entirely subsided.
The "Solr" (antl-Bo ulangeri?t) estimate* the erowd

A LETTER FROM MR. GLADSTONE.
London, April 20.?At a Liberal meering at Rossen
dals this evening s letter was read from Mr. Glad?
stone apologizing for his inability to attend and
say l?g:
?? Tbe seventy dissidents led by Lord Hartington
have done more for the cause of Coerolou and mis?
government in Ireland than seventy Tories
could or would have done. The upshot
ls that tho Government denies ta Ireland
even tho gift of local government in th*
narrowest sense until Irishmen abandon their national
aspirations, which even Lord Carnarvon, a Tory, de?
clared himself persuaded to satisfy to a reasonabls
extent. But in one important particular I desire to
imitate Lord Hartington, namely lu abstaining from
any act needlecdy tending to Infuse personal bltternesa
In an already painful stniK.le. I should feel myself
open to reproach If I entered peisonally Into s con?
flict with one whom I have known and respected so
long. I therefore excuse myself."

SIONER?TESTIMONY IN THE
CONSPIRACY CASE a
The continued examination in the Diss Debar
conspiracy case yesterday afternoon was a series
of sensational episodes. In anticipation of this,
the Special Sessions room in the Tombs was
crowded to the door by an audience^ of the most
heterogeneous description, in which were repre?
sentatives of all sorts and conditions of men, from
Kobert Hilliard, the actor, to a Chinaman. Tho
Spiritualists mado a strong muster, aud through?
out the proceedings did not hesitate to make their
presence known by their expressions of approval
or dissent. And as to those proceedings, surely
there has seldom been such proceedings in any
oourt in New-York. A professional conjurer's
trick was offered in evidence; a brilliant .New
York lawyer declared on his solemn oath that
Munt scribes had written for him, and that spook
artist, had painted for him; and the hour of ad?
journment found the oourt-rooin in a hubbub,
with everybody craning and crushing and stand?
ing on tables and chairs to catch a glimpse of tho
oonjurer trying to catch the lawyer by a sleight
of-hand performance at the Justice's desk.
Justice Kilbreth wa. in his seat several minutes
before tho prisoners were brought in. Madamo
Diss Debar, escorted by a keeper, swept to her
scat like thc queen of a ball-room. The men fol?
lowed her meekly and scmewiiut dejectedly. Mr.
Howe and Mr. Hummel und Mr. Townsend and
ex-Senator Boyd sat down, as was lilting in the
circumstances, on different sides of the inner rail?
ing. Mr. Howe looked all around ami Mr. Hum?
mel looked all around, and neither could sec any
of tlie pictures that lind been promised. Mr.
Howe straightway asked for an explanation,
and Mr. Townsend's excuses being decidedly un?
satisfactory, applied for an order of court to havo
iheui materialized at the next session, remarking
that there could bo ? no jugglery with justice.*1
Jurtg'- Ki!licth? It waa pri.H__.ed that the plc.ure*
would be brought hero without my positive or tor of
court, bul theic may have been ? minmdi-riitandln..
Mr. Howe?It will not delny th* case, of cour-o, bat
lt will changr tbe crier of pt.of, aa a Question put to
the annes* Randolph 1* to atsnd over until the picture*
are pro. ticed.
TESTIMONY OP INSPECTOR BYRNES.
Inspector Byrnes then took thc stand. He re?
peated tue conversation that he had with Madame
Diss Debar while she was in iii- care at Police
Headquarters. She had, he said, shown him a
number of letters she had received from prominent
New-Yorkers. She had asked his advice as to
the lawyer she should employ, and then in a hurst
of trustfulness confided to him that Mr. Marsh
was u mean about money," and that he preferred
to deed property to her rather than give her sums
of ready cash, and tliat she had refused the gift
of some property in Newport b_BB_M tim bad tx
pcri'-ncea so much worriment by tho talk which

It was blank. She said it was, everybody could

EXAMINING MB. MARSH.
Mr. Marsh, who had arrived in court in tims
i to hear the concluding part of Randolph's exam?
ination, was next called for. His face was drawn
aud worn-looking, and he showed nervousness in
every movement. He was sworn, the Justice
having (inst asked him whether he was willina
to take the oath, and then Mr. Howe proceeded
to handle him so tenderly apd withal so skilfully
that no uninterested person could doubt that the
testimony which he gave was, unwittingly to him,
the strongest yet recorded against the medium. It
could be easily seen that, in spite of the slighting
manner in whieh lie spoke of . L-dame Diss Debar
to Inspector Byrnes, he is not vet by any means
(_*ah_M. of hts fa.h rn her, and that his faith
in his spiritism yet clings about him, like Sinbad's
" old man of the s?u."
Mr. Howe's preliminary questions were more
tentative than important. Ile was feeling his
ground. Ile spoke in quiet, ingratiating tones,
and so softly that Mr. Townsend culled to him to
" raise his voice, as lhere was no solemnity about
the occasion." Mr. Howe rebukingly rejoined that
h.- felt, it to be indeed a solemn occasion. Then
he ask.-d Mr. Marsh:
Q.-Wben did these four defendanta com* Into your I
use? A.-The Oem ral un. Mairim.) Diss Dehar caroo !
about August or .Sou-ember of last year. The other two I
d.-f.-ndanu never came Into my house, properly speaking, j
They wera frequent visitors to Madam* Diss Debsr. I |
never knew of them sleeping In the house, but they
wort ther.) almost daily, learning bow to um Madam* j
Dins Del .ar's lantern.
Q.-Do you know of their opening the door of your '
hou*e to callers! A.?Yes; I think not until the Itv
vaslon of the reporter*, however.
Q.?Did you ever receive from defendant, Ann* O'Dell*,
any tablets on which ther* purported to be written spir?
itual direction* 1 A.-Yes, air. I have brought sumo
to court. I am willing to prodnce them provided that
certain passages which I have marked aa private ar* not
read. The*.) aro too aacrod things with me to havo
them spread br_dc_-t.
PADS WITH " SriRIT COMMUNICATIONS."
Mr. Marsh took out of his overcoat pocket three
or four writing pads with alleged spirit messages
on them. He also produced the fragm.__ of
stained glass on which there is the paiutiug
" which purports to be the work of St. Anthony."
Without much coaxing he told the Court about
thc supposed origin of the communications. He
repeated much from his memorable lecture, almost
word for word.
Mr. Howe?Did you believe at the time you opened
that book and road the uu.-M-.ge that lt was a mu-tage
which had come throuirh the medium of Madame Dla*
Debar from I-tor the Apostlol
Mr Marah-I did. decidedly.
Mr. Howe?An you do so nowt
Mr. Mar_h?I have no doubt of lt.
The Spiritualists applauded loudly, " Dr." Law
renee vigorously clapping his hands.
Mr. Howe?How many splrlt-palntlngs Save youl
Mr. Marsh?About seventy-five. They were produced
on virgin nsnva*, the bulk of them la my presence.
Mr. Howe-What 'lld the medium tell youl
Mr. Marsh?She told me nothing. They were produced
through her medium-hip. There ls no question as to that.
PICTURES* WITHOUT TUE MEDIUM'S PRESENCE,
Mr. Marsh then volunteered to give instanoes
of the pr due-ion of pictures without the medium's
presence in the room. He said that the big Claud?
ius had been promUcd through Madame by Claud?
ius hiiis.-r. Madame li-ed then ar. No. 41 South
Washington Square. He unsuccessfully sat for tho
picture several days. One day lie did not visit
lier house, and hr daughter came for him, with
the news flint the p ..Mr." had come, and when
he got to the house, lo! there it was sure enough.
Tie keinlii-an.lt by Raphael h- mer'tioned a.

Mr. O'Sullivan, formerly Minister to Portugal,
in the room. Of his own portruit, " painted by
Rembrandt," he said:
Tliat was promised to me by ? message from Adelaide
Neilson. Mad-nno Diss Debar and I sat in the General'*
ronni for lt. I bad an appointment, which I said I would
break, but I didn't want lo lose lt and tho picture too, so I
proposed thst we should go to my room and see If lt was
coming. We locked the door or tho General's room arri
went downstairs ?nd _t at a table. We had some com?
munications there, and presently this one, announced
clalraudiently by Madamo Diss D?bar, " Arise, a?cend to
tho room und receive thy Christmas gift." Wo went up
fctairs and the picture had come.
Kr. Howe?By clalraudiently you mean that Madame
spoke th ese words t
Mr. Marsh?Yes, but I had to tell her afterward what
was said through her. I had taken it down from her lina,
as was my custom. Sh* ls a telegraph-wire, aa lt wer*.
for the spirit.*.
MR. MARSH DECEIVED BY THE CONVITRER.
Professor Carl Hertz, was now recalled. Ho
shook hands with Mr. Marsh, and proposed ? a
test," in which a pad like those in Mr. Marsh's
possession should be used. Madame became nerv?
ous at once. " Mark your pad, Mr. Marsh," she
exclaimed. This put Mr. Marsh on his guard at
once, and he put everything in the way of th*
spook-trick expert.
" You must let him do lt his way, Mr. Marsh,"
expostulated Mr. Hewe.
" NO," replied Mr. Marsh, ? I want to see him
do it my way." Madamo Diss Debar led the ap
plauso of the Spiritualists. But Mr. Marsh is not
devoid of curiosity, ** Well," h?- remarked, ** I
would like to iee what this man can do anyway."
Mr. Hertz, took a sent on one side ol' the jus

t,.e t_ilbret_i Mr. Marsh and Mr. Hertz were fairly

elbowed their way to the front, and clustered
around the Justice's bench. There was such a

Madame Dies 1 iel.ar hixh.u thought it time to Inter?

hurried to Mr. Marsh and Informed him quietly
thal the nods would be changed.
" I don't see why Towns- nd shonld be near Mr.
Marsh now at all," said the Jti-tiee Mr. Marsh
would n..r proceed. " Vou could have ch sted

Tho coiins.-l for th- erase Button were content
villi this admission: all the more because Mr.
Hertz riot univ would have changed th.- pads, but
had slready changed them, a fact of which Mr.
Marsh is probably even BOW totally unaware.
An adjournment was made at :. o'clock. -\t the
close of the proceedings Mr. Howe asked that the
Lawrences should be admitted to bail on (their
own recognisances as he had come to the conclu?
sion after hearing Mr Marsh's testimony that the
evidence against them was not so strong as against

ro RTLD.
The struggle between the brewery strikers and thei*
former "bosses'1 was continued yesterday ul th out
abatement of force or animosity. The workmen held
two meetings tn Clarendon Hall at which reports from
outlying districts were made. The Lai-tenders' Union
and the Walters' Inion sent committees around to
entreat liquor dealers to handle ouly union beer, ami
other branches of the Central Labor Union, Includ*
lng the cigarmafcers, oyster_.cn and butchers, also rai
ported yesterday at Clarendon Hall that they woulij
have their committee* c.v-rt all possible pressure 14

A little more than 50 per cent of the men originally!
locked out have returned to work, and thero ls scarcely
any doubt that a large proportion of those who still
romain out would apply for re-inntatemenl If lt wen*
not for fear of being brauded " scabs" and traitor* td
their unions. Meanwhile, the breweries are running
with forces large enough to make one brewing pas
day, and at present lt ls difficult for any brewer ta
