BERLIS, Feb. a. - ASSOCIATED Press,
Copyrighted, 1891. 1.-The emperor's wrath
st the failure Of the Empress Frederick's
visit TO Paris 70 establish In some way q
sort Of good-feeling between Germany and
France has fallen upon both Chancellor
Won Capriyi and Count Won Munster, the
German ambassador at Paris. Upon the
former, for advising trying the experiment,
and upon the lister for asserting to the
prolonged stay Of the empress, and her
fatally indiscreet visit TO Versailles. Not
withstanding semi-oficial French denial,
n. Herbette, French ambassador here,
was consulted prior to the emperor giving
his consent to the empress making the
Journey. Court officials here affirm that
the chancellor mentioned the empress de-
sire, her personal aims and the probable
period Of her stay to Herbetts fortnight
before she started.
The emperor appears TO charge the cham
ccllor and Won Munster with misinform-
ing him 40 to what the results of the visit
would be. Herbette, who was probably
instructed by the French foreign minister,
Ribot, informed the chancellor yesterday
that he desired to express personally to
the emperor his regrets at the manner in
which the empress had been treated.
The emperor replied that he did
not wish to hold any unofficial
conversation on the subject which
would be personally painful to himself
end Herbette. This is interpi etcd in
official circles to intimate that he intends
TO obtain from the French government
some form Of satisfaction for treatment ac-
corded his mother. There are rumors that
Caprivi will be ousted and Won Munster
recalled. Herbette will probably soon re-
turn to France.
As soon as the emperor perceived crisis
was impending he sent for Waldersee.
with whom he had long conference,
afterwards consulting with Miguel.
In the reichstag today Winthorst spoke
in defense Of his motion to grant non-com-
missioncd officers in the army, after twelve
years service, premium of 1000 marks.
He asked the House to adopt the motion
by the largest possible majority, so it
might be known everywhere that Germans
stood by their emperor, and we're ready to
defend him from attack from any quarter.
The motion was adopted. Some Fries
senige members spoke against it, and
Chancellor Caprivi sharply scored them.
The debate assumed unexpected impor-
lance from the semi-bellicose illusions Of
the speaker.
Despite Bismarck's refusal to stand rs a
candidate for the reichstag, Schoff asks
the electors Of the Nineteenth district,
Hanover, to return Bismarck, declaring
he will not refuse to serve, now that there
is prospect of crisis in Germany's foreign
affairs
The Hamburger Ndehriehse~ holds that
the French outbreak vindicates Bismarck's
system. and advises the emperor to return
to the old policy, which regarded France
as an indispensable enemy.
The criticisms Of the Bismarckian press
will not tend to allay the emperor's irrita-
ton.
The press here comments on the Gina
bility of the French to check the Chau-
whist agitation" occasioned by the visit Of
Empress Frederick, The Vossiche-Z eitnng
says: The Parisians are regaining COM
mon sense, but cases will arise compelling
peremptory demands for satisfaction.
Taking the press - . whole. the tone is
calm, with the exception of the Cologne
G1sests, and advocates the Bismarckian
policy: which is bent on making political
capital out Of the matter.
Admiral Heusener died suddenly today.
The renewal of passport restrictions in
Alsace-Lorraine ID the subject of adverse
comment. Prince Hohenlohe Schiiling-
furst, governor of Alsace-Lorraine, only
last week at q banquet expressed the con-
viction that relations with France were so
alienated that moves for passport restric-
tions were lessening. He expressed the
hope that normal relations between the
two countries would soon be established.
In view Of this renewal of restrictions is
Enthusiastically in response to the Partisan
incident.
PARIS, Feb. 2s.-The instructions sent by
the chancellor yesterday to the governor
of Alsace-Lorraine to refrain from mitiga-
ton of passport regulations in Alsace- Lor-
raine, as previously proposed, and not ex-
tend in any way additional facilities to i'm
habitants of the French frontier communes
to attend markets and fairs in the terri
tory, has caused considerable excitement
here. Partisan newspapers publish today
violent articles on the subject. not in any
way tending to relieve the strained rela-
tions at present existing between Germany
and France on account of the attacks made
on Empress Frederick during her stay in
the French capital.
STRAsBURG, Feb. ga decree was pub
lished today by the governor Of Alsace-
Lorraine. 1t is announced that from
March next all passport regulations re-
lating to Alsace-Lorraine will be carried
out to the fullest extent.
ST.. PETERSBURG, Feb. 2S.-The Russian
press is unanimous in indorsing the refusal
of French artists to take part in the Berlin
art exhibition. as we'll as condemning the
Ire which Germany has shown.
