BERLIN, Feb. 2S.-[Copyrighted, 1891,

The emperor's wrath at the failure OF
the visit of Empress Frederick to Paris
to establish some sort of good feeling be-
tween Germany and France, has fallen
upon both Chancellor Won Caprivi and
Count Won Munster, the German em-
bassador at Paris-upon the former for
advising the trying of the experiment,
and upon the latter for asserting to the
prolonged stay OF the empress and her
fatally indiscreet visit to Versailles.
notwithstanding semi-official denial,
Al. Herbette, French ambassador here,
was consulted prior to the emperor's
giving his consent to the empress max
ing the journey. Court officials here
affirm that the chancellor mentioned
the empress desire, her personal aims
and the probable period OF her stay, to
Herbette fortnight before she started.
The emperor appears to charge the char
cellor and Munster with misinforming
him as to what the result OF the visit
would probably be.
Herbette, who was probably instructed
by the French foreign minister, Ribot,
informed the chancellor yesterday that
he desired to express personally to the
emperor his regrets at the manner in
which the empress had been treated.
The emperor replied that ne did not
wish to hold any unofficial conversation
on subject which would be personally
painful to himself and Herbette. This is
| interpreted in official circles as pointing
tS the emperors determination to OBJ
! tain from the French government some
form of satisfaction for the treatment
accorded his mother.
There are rumors that Caprivi will be
ousted and Munster recalled. Herbette
will probably soon return to France.
| As soon as the emperor perceived
that crisis was impending, he sent fof
Walderee, with whom he had long
conference, afterwards consulting with
Miguel.
The Hamburger Nachrichten holds
| that the French outbreak vindjcateS
Bismnrck'B system, and advises the en-
peror to return to the old policy, which
regarded France as an inappeasable
enemy. The criticisms of the Bismarck
ian press will not tend to allay the en-
peror'S irritation.
The renewal of the passport restric-
tions in Alsace-Lorraine is a subject of
adverse comment. Prince Hohenlohe-
Schillingfurst, governor OF Alsace-Lor-
raine, only last week, at banquet, ex-
pressed the conviction that the relations
with France were SO ameliorated that the
motives for the passport restrictions were
lessening. He expressed the hope that
xaln lnt, +x,-.
countries would soon be re-established.
In view OF this, the renewal of the re-
strictions is unmistakably response to
the Partisan Incidents.
Taking the press as whole, its tone
is calm, with the exception OF the Co
logne-Gazette and other advocates of the
Bismarckian policy, which are bent on
making political capital out of the mat
ter.
Despite Bismarck's refusal to stand as
candidate for the Reichstag, Herr
School asks the electors OF the Nine
teenth strict of Hanover to return Bis
marck, declaring that he will not refuse
to serve now that there is prospect of
crisis in Germany's foreign affairs.
Admiral Hevsner died suddenly today.
! In the reichstag today DR.. Windhorst
spoke in defense OF his motion to grant
nom n-commissioned officers in the army,
after twelve years. service. a premium
| of one thousand marks. He asked the
house to adopt the motion by the largest
possible majority, so that it might be
| known that the Germans stood by their
emperor, and were ready to defend him
from attack from any quarter. The mo-
ton was adopted. Some of the Frei-
| sinnige members spoke against it, and
Chancellor Caprivi warmly scored them.
The debate assumed an unexpected i'm
portance from the semi-bellicose allu-
sions OF the speakers.
