BERLIN, Feb. 2S-Ths emperor's wrath
at the failure Of the visit of the Empress
Frederick 20 Paris to establish some sort Of
good feeling between Germany and
France has fallen upon both Chancellor Won
Caprivi and Count Won Munster, the
German ambassador at Paris-upon the
former for advising the trying of the ex-
pertinent. and upon toe latter for assenting
to the empress prolonged stay. and to hsr
fatally indiscreet visit to Versailles. Not
wishstanding the semi-ofticial French de-
nial Mr.. Herbetts, the French ambassador
here, was consulted prior to
the emperor giving his consent
to the empress making the journey. Court
of NSials here affirm that Chancellor Won
G PaSvi mentioned the empress desire, her
y penal aims, and the probable period OF
z Sei az to M. Herbette at a diplomatic
edldner given fortnight before the empress
started. The emperor appears to charge
the chancellor and Count Won Munster with
misinforming him % TO what the result Of
the visit would probably be.
THE KAISER WANTS SATISFACTION.
NJ. Herbette, who was probably instructed
by M. Ribot, the French foreign minister.
informed the chancellor yesterday that he
desired TO express personally to the emperor
his regrets at the manner the empress had
been treated. He stated that he did not ask
for q formal interview in hts capacity Of
French ambassador. To this request Ems
peror William replied that be did not wish
to hold any unofficial conversation on
a subject which would be painful to
himself and M. Herbette. Unless the
French ambassador had an official commu-
nIcation to offer he need not, the emperor
said, trouble himself to have an audience.
The character of the response is interpreted,
In official quarters, as pointing to the en-
perors determination to obtain from the
French government some form of satisfac-
tion for the treatment accorded his mother.
cAPRIvI MAY BE oUsTEo.
There are rumors that Chancellor Won
Capriyi will be ousted from his position,
and that Count Won Munster will be re-
called, though in the meantime there is no
accurate indication of the imperial feeling
toward either OF these officials.
Count Won Munster certainly will not
long remain at his present post, nor will M.
Herbette, whom the emperor now regards
with such aversion az to justify NJ Ribot
in recalling him.
The emperor, assoon as he perceived that
crisis was impending, sent telegram
summoning Count Won Waldersee from
Altoona, whore he was stationed after his re-

long conference Count Won Waldersee re-
turned to Altoona. Nobody doubts that his
visit had reference to the situation. The
emperor also held q conference with Herr
Miguel, who Is now the favorite minister,
and whose position has been strengthened
by the advice he profered on the eve of the
Empress Frederick's departure, not to stay
in Paris more than three days.
TRIUMPH FOR BISMARCK.
The Paris incident is triumph for Prince
Bismarck.
The Hamburger Ndchrichten holds that
the French outbreak vindicates the Bis
marckian system, and advises the emperor
to return TO the cd polioy, which regarded
France as an unappeasable enemy. Prince
Bismarck can point to his successful opposi-
tion to the project Of Empress
Frederick when her husbands
illness was declared grave TO

of France. Prince Bismarck held that,
although the French might have treated
dying man with respectful sympathy for a
time some sudden popular exultation might
thwart every provision, and that the risk
ought not to be run.
The well-grounded criticisms of the Bis
MARKHAM press will not tend to allay the
emperor's irritation.
THE PASSPORT RESTRICTIONS.
The renewal of the passport restrictions
in Alsace-Lorraine is the subject of diverse
comment Prince Won Misunderstanding
furst, governor OF Alsace-L Lorraine speak
ing at banquet at Strasburg Wednesday,
expressed a conviction that the relations
with France were SO ameliorated that the
motives for the passport restrictions were
lessening. He, therefore, nourished the
hope that he would soon see re-established
normal relations between the two countries.
The next morning Chancellor Won Caprivi
telegraphed the decree enhancing the re-
strictions.
RESPONSE TO FRANCES COURSE.
The VosSische Zettltng says that, in con-
nection with the governors conciliatory
speech, the chancellor's telegram unmis-
takably shows that the decree is a response
to the violation of the laws of hospitality
on the part of the French, and that it ex-
presses the fact that the German govern
ment repudiates the idea OF further cherish
ing the hope of establishing the amicable
relations expressed by the governor Of
Alsace-Lorrai
The National G0zette ltkens the decree

In order to leave no doubt about the feel
ing existing the Berlin Borsen Courier
holds that Germany now finds herself con-
strained to maintain indefinitely those
measures Of precaution against France
which would be otherwise enforced only
against Chauvinists like III. Deroulede and
his colleagues.
The Tdgebldtt remarks that the people of
Alsace-Lorraine must again feel that every
evil Detailing them comes from Paris.
THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT NOT BLAMED.
The Kleine Journal admits that the atti-
tude of the French government was cor
rect The populace also did not fail in
showing respect TO the empress. Only
small group of Chauvinists, It says, were
responsible for the treatment Of the emp
ress. Taking the press as whole the tone
is calm, with the exception OF the Cologne
| Gazette, and other advocates Of Bismarck
ian policy, which are bent on making po-
| litic1l capital out of the imbroglio.
The North German Gazette refers to the
unanimity shown by the press. 1t says
| that, judging from recent incidents in
France. the unity Of feeling Is sure guar
antee that in the event Of any injury aris-
| ing. or In the event OF the interests Of the
twser. .
