GERMAN FEELING is MOST INTENSE
Over Empress Frederick'S Treatment During

BERLIN, March There is no need to
expatiate on the excitement existing here in
regard to the treatment of the Empress
Frederick during her visit to Paris. The
resentment of the German people is so great
that the newspaper articles on the subject
for once only too faithfully represent the in
fqmmable condition of the public mind, bnt
the universal sentiment is that whatever
NAV have been felt, it would have been
wiser for the press not to have aggravated
the situation by such outspoken recrimina-
tion. The Cologne Gazette, the chief offender
OF the leading newspapers, in its vIrulence,
seems to forget the position it once assumed
toward the august lady whose cause 1t now
espouses so indiscreetly, but wnom 1t so
mercilessly attacked when her husband was
diving.
In political circles the Gdzette's attacks
upon what it chooses to refer to as "the So
called French Government, "are entirely dis
approved. In some quarters the Cologne
Gdzette'S crusade against France is attribu-
ted to a desire to draw off public attention
from home embarrassments, such as have
been caused by the coal and iron scandals.
William Is Very Sore.
Of course there is great soreness at Court
and there is some Likelihood of the Imperial
wrath having to be appeased by the sacri-
fee OF the Imperial Chancellor. The En-
peror bIames General Won Caprivi just as
the French Government blame their Ambas-
sador here, NJ. Herbette, for approving of
the Empress journey. If Caprivi's tenure
of office is to be so short lived, his successor
may probably be found in Herr MIGUEL,
who has of late obtained the Kaiser's entire
confidence, and who is evidently marked
out for some civil and political post of great
Importance.
Another persona gratissima at the present
moment, and he must be regarded rs a re-
stored favorite, is Count Waldersee, ex-
Chief of staff. In response to telegraphic
invitation from the Emperor the Count ar
rived in Berlin last Thursday and spent the
evening at the castle. 1t is stated that at
the Emperor's instance Northern Tour
it's Club" has been formed, consisting of
those gentlemen only who have accompanied
the Kaiser on his Journeys 10 Norway. At
the meeting Of the club on Thursday night,
the Count sat at the Emperor's side and
everybody was in animated spirits. the EN-
peror especially so.
New European War Map.
A new European war railroad map has
been published by the German General
staff for circulation among army officers Of
the highest rank only. A friend permitted
a Dunlap reporter to look over his copy, yes
terday, and there are few notes which he
managed to write down. There are 16 diff
ferent railroad lines running from east to
west which will enable the Fatherland to
dispatch the armies across the French frontier,
and the Rhine Is bridged over l9 times to facili-
tate rapid crossing at all seasons of the year.
There are already ten railroad lines for for
warding troops against Russia, and tonr more
are being constructed with the same object.
The Russian kingdom of Poland and the
Government of Wllua are already SO encircled
by the German network of railroads that the
kaiser's armies can cross the frontier at Is diff
ferent points, while Russia has only five lines
Of railroad converging upon the German from
tier. and yet we are told that Russia is prepared
TO throttle Germany.
