PARIS, Feb. 27.-Empress Frederick
of Germany left Paris this morning. No
unpleasant incident marked her de-
parture. The gravity of the situation.
however, can be judged from the fact
+ that, acting under advice from high
quarters, the empress changed the line
of her route for fear of being insulted
by that portion of the populace which
had gradually worked itself into fever
heat of rage over the presence of the
imperial visitor in Paris. 1t was pub
licly announced yesterday evening and
again this evening that the Empress
Frederick intende to leave the city for
Calais at II 80; b ut, upon the sugges-
ton referred to-, she left the German
embassy two hours earlier, and, enter
ing carriage, was driven rapidly to the
Care du Nord. where she entered the
train which left that depot for Boulogne.
The empress. however. will not embark
for England at that port, but will pro-
coed from there to Calais, where royal
yacht is awaiting her arrival. In spite
of the precautions taken to avoid ala
unpleasant demonstration by keeping
the exact hour OF
The Empress Departure
a secret, several hundreds of people
gathered about the Care du Nord and
watched the movements OF the empress
with considerable interest. The crowd,
contrary to general expectation, was
civil and quiet. the majority of the men
present taking off their hats as the en-
press passed. There were no insulting
cries of any description. The empress
was as calm and composed, to all out
wald appearance, as il she had been in
Berlin and surrounded by bodyguard
of loyal Germans. She quickly entered
the railroad car which had been secured
for her special use and cordially babe
adieu to the representatives of the Ger
man embassy, who had accompanied
her to the station. A reception in honor
of Empress Frederick was given at the
residence of Baron Rothschild last
evening. Among the guests presented
to her majesty was M. GerveX, the
French painter. On behalf of a number
of French artists, NJ. GerveX expressed
regret that they were not able to send
specimens of their art work to
The Berlin Exposition.
and stated that the reason for their alb
staining from SO doing was that they
could not place themselves at variance
with their colleagues. The empress
listened attentively to the explanation
given. and in reply said, in substance,
that she appreciated the justice of the
French artists motives and accepted
them In friendly spirit of good will,
though she regretted that the artists of
France were not to be represented at
Berlin. In an interview with the presi-
dent Of the Society of Artists, published
to-day, the latter declares that he will
still advocate that the French artists
should send exhibits to Berlin, though
he yields to the opinion expressed by
his brother artists. The general tone
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 Gazette's
statements were in reality only the
outcome OF a bourse maneuver, and
that, in any case, Germany we'll knows
that France is firmly attached to peace,
although she does not hesitate to make
any sacrifice which may be deemed
necessary when the preparation for de-
Tense is concerned. La Paix. referring
to the same subject, says that it is con-
vinced that
