fBy Anglo American cable 10 the Disp atch.l
PARIS, FRANCE, February 27.-The En-
press Frederick and her party arrived at
the Care du Nord in three landaus, the
coachman and footmen wearing cockades
composed of the German colors in their
hats. The police officials had taken every
precaution to protect the Empress, q body
of 500 policemen being In waiting about the
depot Upon the approach of the impe-
rial traveller the police quickly formed
INTO two lines, thus enabling the Empress's
carriage TO drive up to the station without
having any portion of the crowd near
enough TO the Empress to do her injury
should such have been the intention of any
of those present.
The Empress was accompanied by the
whole staff of the German Embassy, head
ed by Count Won Munster, the German
Ambassador. An Gttdche of the British En-
bassy was also in attendance, in company
with one of the equerrles of Queen VIC
toria. The latter, together with Count Won
Munster and number of police, accom-
panied the Empress to Boulogne and from
there to Calais.
TONE OF THE PARIS PRESS MILD.
The general toue of the press of this city
is mild The newspapers repudiate the
utterances of the Cologne Gazette. The
charge is made by La Justice that the
Gdzette's statements were. in realty, only
the outcome of a Bourse manpuvre, and
that in any case Germany well knows that
France is firmly attachedto peace, although
she does not hesitate TO make any sacrifice
which may be deemed necessary where
preparation for defence IS concerned. La
Pair, referring to the same subject. says
that 1t is convinced that European opinion
will be able TO distinguish between few
harangues made by operators of the League
of Patriots and the true attitude OF the
people.

INFORMATION OF THE ENPREsss INTENTION.
PARIS, FRANCE, February 27.-It is semi
officially announced that NJ. Herbetta, the
French Ambassador Of Berlin, had no IN
formation that the Empress Frederick In
tended TO visit Paris before her departure
for this city. Count Won Munster, the
German Ambassador here, itappears. some
time before the coming of the German EN-
press, notified NJ. de Freycinet, President
of the Council of Ministers, and NJ: Rlbot,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, that the En-
press would spend q few days IN Paris
under the strictest incognito. The Gov
eminent, 1t is also seml-Otfi clally an
uounced did not attompt TO influence
French artists 10 exhibit at Berlin.
BERLIN PRESS COMMENT ON THE INCIDENT.
RrR1IN. February 27.-The Kre,tz Zei'ttng:
1--WE do not question the desire OF France
for peace, but recognize in recent incidents
her almost incredible weakness"
The North German Gdzette says: No
doubt ever existed i'm Germany as TO the
true feeling of the French people towards
Germans, and the Berlin art exhibition
would have been useful in showing how
far the feeling would display itself. Con-
sjdering the character Of the agltatorS we 30
not need to resent the manifestation. The
artists decision affronts our Emperor and
his mother will recoil from the attronters.
But the fact that France, even under po-
itical leadership hitherto considered
strong, is utterly unable TO cope with
handful of Chauvinist meddlers, throws
valuable light on the real source OF trou-
bles which friends OF European peace have
so often had occasion TO deplore."
WHAT ROME SAYS ABOUT IT.
RoArE, ITALY, February 27.-The RU@n'd
infers from the agitation against the EIn-
press Frederick in Paris that France Is as
anxious as ever for a war of revenge on
GERMANY. FdRfttlld thinks that Emperor
William was too hasty in sending his mo-
ther TO France, aud saws he ought TO nave
been contented with minor actions OF con-
citation.
