Diary to whom to prosecute The manager of the
Deutsche Rundschau" has surrendered the name Of
Herr Gefcken, of Hamburg, as that OF the person
through whom he obtained the diary of Emperor
Frederick. Herr Gefcken has been q professor at
strasburg and represented the Hanse Towns for
several years in Berlin, when he became known to
Frederick Aftcrward he was Hanseac Resident IN
London and became frequent contributor TO Eng:
lish papers and magazines lie is no enemy OF
Bismarck, is he known TO have ever
possessed the special confidence of Frederick
The Government suspects high parsonage OF using
Genckcn instrument Prince Bismarck is
known TO suspect the English court as the source Of
the public aton hence the language OF his statement
is directed against that court
THE GERMAN PRESS AT FEVER HEAT
The press reflects vigorously the party strife. The
sem-offcial papers do not hesitate to assail the
memory Of Frederick vifying both his character and
intellect. The Kolnische zeitung7 says the diary
shows him selfcomrlacent dealis rich In beautiful
phrased generalities and crude in plans for improv
qualities The Berlin Post that the interests
Of the Empire required the disclosure that the Crown
Prince, far from being the active promoter OF Ger
man unity. formed the most serious obstacle to II.
The Borsen Courier" 81 organ Of the Liberalists
better represents the genuine public feeling here In
ing: Tie Emperor must be rcvoed at the conduct of
the people who trying TO please him by reving his
father. Those who are throwing dirt upon the mem
DRY OF Frederick must judge " Illiam II meanly. If
they suppose that tleir criticisms excite in him any
thing but loathing and contempt
The ProgreSsist press challenges the accuracy Of
Bismarck's statements discrediting the diary. The
"Freisinnge Zeung7 points out that the Chancellor
does not give documentary proof OF the correctness Of
his assertions. There Is not one man In thousand
who refuses TO accept the diary as faithful record
written by Emperor fredericks own hand The court
circle exonerates Empress Frederick from any knowL
edge of the publication
RETIRED LIFE OF EMPRESS FREDERICK.
The stories published In French papers of violent
quarrel between Empress Frederick and Emperor VIII
lam are certainly false The Empress lives utterly
retired life Members of her circle declare that
she does not want Emperor Fredericks name mixed
up in party struggles. On October she will lay the
foundation stone Of Emperor FTedericks mausOleum.
She will afterwafd go visit 10 scotland, aid Will
be accompanied by the Processes. The relations be
Emperor William and tie English court are IN
doubicdly strained. This openly shown by the
refusal Of the Prince Of Mals to be present at the
Enperors reception in Vienna
