PA Is, Feb. 23.-The Empress Fred
erlck of Germany took lunch yesterday
with the Baron de Tucher, the Bavarian
WhitelaW Reid, the United States min
lister, and Mrs. Reid, and Lord Lytton.
the British ambassador, and Lady Lyt-
ton. The project of the Seine. M. Pou-
belle, has informed Count Won Munster,
the German ambassador, in reply to
communication received from the lat
ter in regard to the possibly over-zeal-
Gus attention which the empress has re-
ceived from the French reporters, that
he, the project, is unable to Interfere
with these representatives of the press.
Upon receiving this notification the Off
Gals of the German embassy decided to
supply the press with record of the
empress movements during the day.
But, this record being of meager and
dry description, many reporters still
haunt the imperial visitor as she travels
about this city. The result is that En-
press Frederick has resorted to vario us
expedients, such as leaving
The German Embassy
by an exit opening upon the street at
the back of that building and pro ceed-
ing on foot to her carriage, which had
been previously driven to some con-
venient spOt,sin the vain attempt to
to shake Off the newspaper men hover
ing about the embassy. Frequently the
empress and her daughter, the Princess
Margaret, drive in different directions
in order to create diversion and be-
wilder the journalistic forces, but the
latter manage to keep pretty closely on
the trail of the empress, in spite OF her
efforts to keep away from them. Yester-

lated to the effect that the two ladies
now the center of interest in Paris
were to be present at the LamoureauX
concert. Consequently great crowd
collected in and about the vicinity OF
her daughter did not appear. The Ger
mans, however, sang
Mozart and Wagner
duets in German, hazardous proceed

ciferous applause. There can be no

has been productive here of an era of
much better feeling towards Germany.
A dispatch from Paris to the Times,
published to-day, says that the princi-
pal motive for the Empress Frederick's
visit to Paris is the settlement of 81, 000,-
600, bequeathed to her by the Duchess
Galliera. This legacy, according to the
Times correspondent, the empress in
tends to apply to the refurnishing and
to the decoration of the castle of Koe-
nigstein, drawing heavily upon French
art collections in the carrying out OF the
task. The empress visit to the French
capital is held to be proof of her COM
plete reconciliation with Emperor Will
lam.
Late this afternoon it was announced
that Empress Frederick and her daugh-
ter would remain in this city until Fri
day next, The ex-empress is so pleased
with her visit that she has decided to
prolong her stay far beyond the time
originally fixed for her sojourn in the
French capital. The imperial visitors
went to Versailles to-day and thor
Oughly enjoyed their inspection of the
famous palace of Versailles.
Lord Lytton, the British ambassador,
gave a grand banquet this evening in
honor of eX-Empress Frederick. Count
Won Munster, the German ambassador,
was among the guests.
