BIsMARCK's FEVER OF RAGE
Those Published Extracts from Frcderick's
Diary Are Causing No End
of Trouble and Conn
plication.


BERLIN, Oct 1-Excitement is still high
here over the publication of Emperor Freder-
ick's diary, made when he was crown prince,
during the wax with France. 1t is blow in
the face of Bismarck, and the chancellor is
beside himself with rage. The editor of The
Rundschau, Herr Radenberg, will not be
prosecuted, but it is reported that an order
of arrest on the charge of treason has been
issued against DIR. Gefnclxen, of Hamburg,
who furnished the magazine with the copy.
He will be brought before the imperial court
at Leipsic, but he, too, win be let off II he
discloses the name Of the person from whom
he got It. Radenberg had 0,000 extra copies
of his magazine ready to be issued.
The endeavor of Bismarck is to bring the
charge to the door of Empress Victoria, and
all sorts of rumors are current about the in
termediaries. Denials of the authenticity of
the diary are now abandoned. 1t is attacked
in particulars by Bismarck's organs The
talk about divulging state secrets is the re-
tort of Bismarck to whom the diary denies
lae originating of the idea of unifying Ger
many under an imperial crown.
Emperor Wilhelm is on Blsmarcks side
against his mother, and under the chorus of
the government press public opinion seems to
be with him, too
LONDON, Sept. 30.-If Emperor Frederick's
diary has angered Bismarck, the retort of
the latter that the crown prince was not in
formed of many state secrets lest he should
divulge them to his wife, who would tell
them to the English court, has made official
England frantic 1t is spoken of as a direct
insult to the English queen, and Salisbury is
expected to demand an explanation of Ger
many The English papers take up the cry
and are busy proving Bismark to be falsi-
fer.
There will be no positive hostile outcome of
the controversy, but Bismarck is irretriev-
ably damaged in the eyes of his whilom Eng
lish worshipers, and the young German
emperor Is marked for condemnation in the
British mind ms a wretched specimen of man
hood, one who allows his fathers noble
memory to be attacked by his enemy and
who encourages the same enemy to attack
his mother. They call him the bowling
emperor, and talk of him as aping 'Mace-
donia's madman and the Swede."
The Times publishes letter signed "Juris-
consult" saying that Prince Bismarck argues
against himself in stating that the Crown
Prince Frederick was not intrusted with
state secrets, and that Bismarck's own refer
ence to the distrust of the English courts en-
tertained by William l. to Frederick much
more resembles the divulging of secrets of
state than the publishing of the diary.
The arrangements for the Empress Vic
toria's visit to England have fallen through
She has received letters from the kaiser
which are tantamount to forbidding her to
60 to England until she receives special per-
mission to do SO. Her majesty's visit had
been fixed for the end of October 1t is now
altogether indefinite, and will probably not
take place at ALL She will proceed directly
to Italy in November. The Prince of Wales
is reported to have addressed an indignant
letter to the kaiser on his tyrannies toward
his sister Victoria and the kaiser's own
mother, and his boyish and vulgar disrespect
toward the queen.
The political campaign is beginning in
earnest. There is exceptional interest in
John Morley's speech replying in detail to
| Mr.. Chamberlain's criticisms.
He ridiculed the pretension that the Radi-
| cal Unionists influenced the councils of the
| Tories. The recent speeches of Mr.. Dillon
and Michael Smith, he said, had marked a
| great victory for Irishmen and English
| Liberals II Mr.. Dillon should abandon his
hatred of England thousands of Irishmen
would initiate him and Mr.. Chamberla ms
Irish proposals would not be approved by
L Mr. Goschen and Lord Harrington.
