: FEELING IN PARIS.
The Object of the Kaiser's Mothers Visit
RudelY Frustrated.


Rudely Frustrated.
PARIS, Feb. 26.-Increased feelings OF
anxiety lest sudden disturbances should
occur here before the ex-Empress Fred
erick leaves Paris, prevail here. The
plan which was looked upon as settled,
by which French artists were to exhibit
the products of their art in the Berlin
exhibition, has been abandoned. De-
taille, the French painter, finally yield
! ing to the pressure brought to bear upon
him, today announced that he made a
mistake in consenting to send some of his
| work 20 the German exhibition, and he
feels that it would not be patriotic to go
to Berlin. Detaille also says that his
brother artists, who are Frenchmen, will
abstain from being represented at
Berlin.
At reception held yesterday evening,
by Ribot, minister of foreign affairs,
Won. Munster. German ambassador,
threw the blame for the unpleasantness
arising from the visit of the empress,
upon Herbette, French ambassador at
Berlin. This has given rise to consid-
ence, by telegraph and otherwise. the
outcome OF which it would seem, is that
Herbette will most likely be recalled
from Berlin.
That the action OF the Parisians and
newspaper press of Paris will be deeply
resented in Berlin, nobody for an in
stant doubts. and there are many people
who look forward, not without feeling
of apprehension, to the effect the un-
pleasantness may have upon the mind
OF the emperor of Germany.
! The bourse is weak, owing to reports
unfavorable to France, arising from the
feeling here over the visit of the ex-em-
press, printed in the Cologne Gazette
and other newspapers.
The ex-empress and daughter visited
the cathedral of Notre Dame, the Cluney
museum and the Luxembourg gardens
today.
Excited groups gathered in the lobbies
of the chamber of deputies this evening
discussing the Cologne Gazette article.
La Liberte says the article will enlighten
the Boulangists as to the imprudence
OF their eccentricities.
Deroulede and ten other members of
the Patriotic league send letter to the
press, in which they say:
"Our object has been achieved. The
check to the Prussians is complete, and
French dignity is saved. Further dem
onstrations would now only detract from
the great spirit of patriotic pride that
has just united all Frenchmen. 1t
therefore behooves us to abstain from
such demonstration"
| Some of the French newspapers are
running riot in their remarks. lie Jour
says: "Our army is ready; our arma-
ment complete, and our reserves
thoroughly trained"
The empress has remained calm, and
has no fear of an untoward incident
marring her visit.

PETER JOHNSON AND a DAGo
Bring Out the Citizens of Big Lick on
Account of n Missing $500.

An Old Lick "Dago," whose soft
sounding appellation has been lost to
the memory of the authorities, appeared
before Mayor Evans yesterday morning
and swore out search-warrant for the
purpose of ascertaining if Peter John
son, colored, had not concealed some
where within the releases of his home
like dOmicile, S3O0,-the results of MANY
weeks peddling, cheating, shaving pa
per and selling old clothes 100 cents
above par.
The "Dago" keeps store and halls
as one of the business men of shat his
toric locality. He claims that Peter
came into his store on Thursday, and
carried red napkin in his hands. The
fact that he carried the napkin was n
valuable clue to the suspicious "Dago."
The next morning he found the same
piece of linen in his room. Ho dis
covered very suddenly that 5000 was
missing.
The search warrant was placed in the
hands of Officer Browning, who went
through Johns on's house, but no lost
money WIS to be found, and the poor
"Dago" wrung his ''hg-pulling" hands
and wept
While this was being accomplished
the colored population arose in arms
Johnson is popular man and pillar
in the church, and the fact that his
household was being outraged at the
instance of the ''Dago" was something
they could not overlook with any degree
of clemency.
They gathered in squads and prepared
or war. Arms FLASHED, trumpets
sounded, and the duslSy clans gathered
2 for tho conflict Tho ssD,roo ,,,,c4 -
and for time it looked though his en-
tire establishment would be wiped out
of existence.
This happened about 5 o'clock yester-
day evening. The officer saw that
trouble was brewing, and gave up his
search, dispelled the mob and had to
remain till late hour last night guard
ing the terrified "Dago." Latest reports
( say that all is now quiet.
