BMLM. March 1S.-There is ono dissonant
Aote IN the universal concert Of love and devo-
ton. one opposing murmur In the loyal demon
STATIONS that speak Of a whole nations attaoh-
ment for the Emperor who has gone and the
Emperor who has como back to them: and It
10 much to be feared that the note will riee and
the murmur swell when the first grief sub
sides. Tho Germans have never liked their
Grown Princess Victoria; she has never taken
her full place In the hearts Of the people IS q
member Of their royal family, and now It Is
only too evident that q more active feeling
surgos against the new Empress
Hes conduct has certainly boon such a. to
justify severe criticism, and unloss she can give
p~ostertty q satisfactory explanation. shs will
not DO readily forgiven for her part in the
great imperial tragedy. She carried away
"Unser Fritz" from the fatheriand ten months
ago, disreRarding the long since expressed
opinion OF his German advisers: she Entrusted
him to Morell Mackenzie. and professed . firm
belief In his optimist or pessimist opinions. ac-
cording rs they were expressed. to tally with
her plans. There is little reticence here in say

Of the nation and the enlightened eyes OF his
father. so as to preclude the possibility
OF his renunciation Of the succession to the
throne being made imperative by his condi-
ton. thereby leaving her at his death only
Crown Princess forever. without the two mil
lions OF civil list and the court to which q Wild
owed Empress 10 entitled. To bear that SOW
ereign title. were 1t only for an hour. has been
her lifelong ambition: for that she has waited
and plotted during the protrnctedl life Of William
l.. borne her comparative obscurity and braved
the displeasure Of the Chancellor; for that
she has detained her husband on foreign
soil. separated him from q nonagenarian
father. asserted her domination over a mind
snfeeblsd By . cruel disease. combating the
oft-repeatsd intention OF the Prince to hurry
back to Berlin on the receipt OF distressing and
Alarming news. BY showing him private tele-
grams sent to her personally contradicting the
official messages which she declared were fab
relations and tho Instruments Of intrigue. For
that she has strivsn to keep him unapproach-
able. even to his eldest son. in whom she has
taught herself to see less child than q rival In
power. because she knew him to DO the beloved
pupil Of Prince Bismarck. her foe.
The Germans have keenly watched the drama
OF San Reno. and the miraculous coincidence
BY which q son too Ill months before to b
brought home By slow stages to the side Of his
ailing father. vas enabled to undertake . rapid
journey in most Indictment weather. when he
had at last become Emperor. Is considered 80
improbable that tho nation doubts either the
veracity Of the previous statements or the
truth Of the sudden recovery.
Tho actual circumstances Of her return may
protect Victoria for q while. She reenters her
kingdom sheltered By the immense popularity
Of her husband: but even now the President Of
the Police is credited with expressing q hope
that he will b able to prevent the throwing Of
mud and rotten apples at her and trusts that
he will succeed. but" She must not show
herself too much alone. nor obtrude her in
huenoe too openly. for even tho deep mourning
she wears 50 gladly, will not prevent the people
from feeling like Bismarck. that she is In heart
and soul an alien. and that she has brought q
dwarfsd generation into the imperial house.
Tho Chancellor was always strongly opposed
to tho alliance. and openly declared that 1t was
0 sin to unite tho scrofulous blood Of Hanover
will the pure blood Of the Hohsnzollsrns.
Stories to the discredit Of tho Princess are re-
vived: how for the wedding Of Prince Wilhelm
the officers Of Pomerania. q poor province save
for it's fishery industry. resolved to present the
brida pair with an epergns representing .
maritime alleRory; how in compliment to the
artistic tastes Of the Crown Princess the design
drawn by a wsll-known artist was submitted
to her. and how to their discontinue she utterly
negatived the gift. suggesting instead as moro
useful . set Of table knives and forks Of same
value. The officers acted according to her
wishes; but
