BERLIN, Feb. 2S.-The Emperor's
wrath at the failure OF the visit of Empress
Frederick to Paris to establish in some
sort good feeling between Germany and
France has fallen upon both Chancellor
Won Caprivi and Count Won Munster, the
German ambassador at Paris-upon the
former for advising the trying Of the ex-
pertinent, and upon the latter for assent
ing to tho prolonged stay of the Empress
and her fatally indiscreet visit to Yer,
sailles.
Notwithstanding the semi-officiait
French denial, NJ. Herbette. the French
ambassador here, was consulted prior toi
the Emperor giving his consent to the
Empress making the journey.
The court officials here affirm that the
Chancellor mentioned the Empress de-
sire to further her personal aims, and the
probable period of her stay TO Herbette u
fortnight before she started The En-
peror appears to charge the Chancellor
and Munster with misinforming him as
to what the results of the visit would
probably be.
Herbette, who was probably instructed
by the French Foreign Minister, Ribot.
informed the Chancellor yesterday that
he desired 10 express personally to the !
Emperor his regrets at the manner in
which the Empress had been treated.
The Emperor replied that he did not
wish to hold any unofficial conversation
on the subject which would be personally
painful 10 himself and Herbette.
rms IS interpreted III official circles as
pointing to the Emperor's determination
to obtain from the French Government
some form of satisfaction for the treat
nlent OF 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
q crisis was impending he sent for Wal
dersee, with whom he had long confer
ence. afterwards consulting with Miguel.
The Hamburger -NochqIchtea holds that
the French outbreak vindicates Bis
marck's system, and advises the EN-
perQr return to the old policy, which re-
garded France as an lnappeasible enemy.
The criticisms of the Bisnlarckian press
will not tend to allay the Emperor's irri-
tation.
The renewal of the passport restriction
i'll Alsace-Lorraine is the subject of adj
verse comment. Prince Hohenlohe-
Schilllngfulst, Governor of Alsace-Lor-
ralile, only last week, at a banquet, ex-
pressed the conviction that the relations
with France were so ameliorated that the
motives tOr passport restrictions were
lessening. He expressed the hope that
normal relations between the two coun-
tries would soon be re-established. In
view OF this renewal Of the restrictions
is Enthusiastically a response to the Paris
ian Incidents
Taking the press as a whole, the tone
is calm, with the exception Of the Cologne
Gazette and other advocates of Bismarck
ian policy, which are bent on making
political capital out of the matter.
Despite BiSmarck's refusal to stand as
candidate for the Reichstag, Herr School
asks the electors of the nineteenth dis
trlct Of Hanover to return Bismarck,
declaring that he Will not refuse to serve
now that there is a prospect of crisis in
Germany's foreign affairs.
Admiral Hevsner died suddenly to-
day.
In the Reichstag to-day DR.. Wind
thorst spoke in defense of his motion to
grant non-commissioned officers in tho
army, after twelve years service, Il pre-
MUM Of 1000 marks. He asked the.
House to adopt the motion by the largest
possible majority, so it might be known,
everywhere that Germany stood by their
Emperor, and were ready TO defend him
from an attack from any quarter. Tho
motion was adopted. Some Freisinnige
members spoke agaiIstit, and Chancellor
Caprivi sharply scored them. The de-
bate assumed unexpected importance
from the semi-bellicose illusions of the
speakers.
