PARIS AND THE EMPRESS.
INCREASED FEARS THAT SHE MAY
BE INSULTED,

bG lNoUGTED.
Count Won Munster Lays the Blame
for the Unpl lsasantnesso on the French
Ambassador Herbette May Be
Recalled French Artists Wort Ex-
hibit at Berlin.
PARIS, Feb. ed-An increased feeling Of
anxiety lest sudden disturbance should
occur before the ex-Empress Frederick
leaves Paris prevails here and is reflected
In Berlin.
AT a reception held yesterday evening by
M. hibot, minister of foreign affairs, Count
Won Munster. the German ambassador, threw
the whole blame for the unpleasantness
arising from the visit of the ex-empress
upon NJ. Herbette, the French ambassador
at Berlin. This has given rise to consid.
cradle amount OF diplomatic correspond
ence by telegraph and otherwise. the out
come OF which, it would seem, Is that "a,
Herbette will most likely be recalled from
Berlin, where he will be replaced by some
one who will not lead another imperial
German visitor into such political caldron
Of hot water as the ex-Empress Frederick
now finds herself In.
ARTISTS WON'T ExHIBIT
The plan, which was looked upon as set
tied, by which French artists were to exhibit
tho products of their art at the Berlin exhi-
bition has been abandoned. III. Detaille,
the French painter, has finally yielded to
the pressure brought TO bear upon him, aud
to-day announces that he made a mis-
take in consenting to send some Of
his works TO the German exhibition,
adding that he feels upon reflection that il
would not be patriotic to 60 10 Berlin NJ.
Detaille also says that al brother artists
who are Frenchmen will abstain from
being represented at the Berlin exhibition.
The artistic question outlined by statements
made by NJ. Detaille aud other French ar
lists is the chief topic OF conversation
throughout Paris aud the provinces.
MIGHT LEAD TO WAR.
That the action Of the Parisians and the
tone OF the newspaper press of Paris will be
deeply resented in Berlin. nobody for an In :
slant doubts, and there are many people
who look forward not without feeling of
apprehension to the effect that the present
"unpleasantness" NAV have on the mind of
the young and warlike Emperor of Ger
many,
SIn this connection tie Gaulofs to-day
says that 1t ID significant to note that the
movement OF protest upon che part of the
French people against the proposition that
the artistic world of France should be
represented at the Berlin exposition has
caused deep impression in Berlin. The
GdutotS adds that the consequences of this
feeling in Berlin may be serious.
opNsrANs WON'T EXHIBIT.
Benjamin Csnstans, the painter, has also
refused to have products OF his brush ex.
hibited at Berlin, though he says that he
believes that this whole matter is an incl
dent OF patriotism wrongly understood.
For his part, he says he regarded French
participation in the Berlin exposition as an
opportunity for taking small measure Of
revenge upon the Germans while awaiting
something better. .Calmer minds, ever since
the project to get French artists 10
exhibit in Berlin, have been specul ating
upon what the effect would bs upon the
people OF Berlin, If, for instance, celebrated
pictures of M. Dstaille, giving from q
French point OF view the Incidents OF the
Franco-Prussian war of 1870-'7i, which are
glorifying to the French arms, were exposed
at the exposition TO be held in the capital Of
Germany.
BITTERNESS OF MEIssoNIER's WIDOW.
Referring still to the French painters,
who are now the center of interest here,
LEUenenlent to-day comments upon the
bitter tone OF the letter published by Meis-
sonler's widow this morning, and contrasts
it painfully with the loyal, open-hearted
letter OF copdolence sent to the widow by
the young Emperor of Germany when tho
latter was informed of Meissonier's death.
A LETTER FROM THE LEAGUE
M. Deroulede and ten other members Of
the patriotic league send joint letter to the
press, Ia which they say: "Our object has
been achieved. The check To the Prussian
is complete and French dignity Is saved.
Further demonstration which we Judged
to be necessary would now only detract from
the great spirit of patriotic pride
that has just united all Frenchmen.
It therefore behooves us to abstain
from such demonstrations. In an inter-
view with a representative Of the GduLofs,
nj. Derouelde, after repeating the sentiments
expressed in the letter to the newspaper, de.
clared that the whole agitation against Em-
press Frederick was due TO the fact that the
empress abandoned her incognito to receive
the foreign ambassadors and visit Ver-
sailles.
REGRETTED AT BERLIN.
BERLIN, Feb. 26-The North German
Gazette regrets the fit Of ill-humor of the
French press and says sit is immaterial
whether French artists, under the pressure
of puolic opinion, are forced to abandon
the idea Of exhibiting their works Ia Berlin
or not. But it Is another thing IL at public
meetings the grossest insults and vile threat
are uttered against the ex-empress aud the
public accepts them without protest.
The TdgebLdtt declares that Count Won
Munster, the German ambassador at Paris,
IN long conference with NJ. Rfbot, th
French minister Of foreign affairs, gave
notice that it will be Germany's hnal at
