Philadelphia Times.
While Queen Victoria throughout her
long reign has done everything in her
power to care for and pampcr her German
relations in England, she cannot fail to
note the Enthusiastically hostile sentiment
to her daughter, the Empress Nictoria, in
Germany. That the masses OF the Ger
man people symrathize with this narrow
and cruel persecution of the faithful wife
of their Emperor is not likely. IL would
be unworthy OF their manhood, as il is of
their nationality. There is no reason why
hey should hasten to bring her into sub
ordination an uuFratyful son. AZ the
same time it is not Improbable that the
reports q the intyigues now going on az
Che German court Gro exaggerated. The
reporters for the American press are NOT
ia position TO know the exact truth,
either in regard to the Emperor's coudi
tiou or the iutrigues affecting the EN-
press, and SO the rumors may bo set down
as merely shrewd guessos with oyerypn-
cieut flavor.
Whether guesscs OF not and however
much exaggerated, these rumors have an
element of truth Mt bottom. The empress
never has been popular in Germany. The
Emperor Frederick, when he was a young
man, offended the German nobility by
gong to England for wife. There
were many petty Processes near the
petty thrones of the Germany OF 1898 VINO
looked forward to the possibility 90 some
day becoming Queen of Prussia. The
English marriage dss pated the hopes Of
all these and fingered not oaly their sisters
and their cousin, and their suuts, but all
OF their male relations. It is only natural
that now they =houlJ seek for their re-
veuge they have forgiven their Ban
peror, but they never will forgive tis
wife Therefore they plott 60 render the
Empress as Uncomfortable rs possible
but that the iutriguc- go t1 the l,gsth ct

applying constantly. The stu3tioR with the
strikers has grown desperate. They must do
something. Consequently they cailelasec'et

and nremcD, 20 which a very strong senti.
ment favorable 10 tdn swltchmen vas
manifested. After q prolonged discussion
decision was reached which the striking
