RANDOM NOTES.
C. Fnak.Dewey, of Berlin, the rell
kaova writer and correspondent, is
pendiBK a few weeks in thU countrj-.
He w juet now gathering material for
articles en New York and American
politices for English and German perio
dicals. In a week or ten dajs his buti
ess will take him to Washington, and
while at the Capital he will impart some
interesting information to the ttatj
department. Mr. Dewey was born in
Massachusetts, but he has resided in
Germany for twenty years. He is at
tached to both countries, and it is his
pride is the land of his birth that will
caaae him to call at the office o! the
Secretary of state.
"There is much fault to be found with
the representation of the United States
in Germany and at its Imperial court in
Berlin" eaid Mr. Dewey to me this week
"For four years the American "residents
in Berlin have been chagrined and hu
miliated at the manner in which the
-oftcersot this country hare conducted
V&OBSOtvBS
The stsry that Mr. Dewey will tell in
Washington will be along this line. He
will not coatine himself to general ttale
bmbIb. He will doubtless say, sub
ataatially, what he slid, informally, to
day. He referred first to Ambassidor Uhl,
and remarked: "There are certain tradi
tloas that attach to the office of am
or minister to Germany.
i glorious by euch men as
Bancroft and Bayard Taylcrand William
Walter Phelps. Latterly these traditions
have been trai'ed along the ground, and
Americans in Berlin hare watched wi.h
uneasy concern the course of the present
ambassador. Mr. Uhl has seen fit to
adopt a course of offensive personal dis
respect to the Emperor of Germany that
has at traded geueral attention and has
been commented upon by tho Geiman
press, A particularly flagrant incident
was that which occurred at an imperial
reception helc' about three months ago
At this reception it was expected that
the Emperor would be the central'
figure. That everyone, including the
ambassadors would yield in a proper
, manner to the rank of the royal person,
age, and with: cno exception all of the
persons present conducted themselves
ia a becoming manner. The one ex
ception was the United States ambas
sador, Mr. Uhl. He showed no respect
whatever, to the Emperor, and while the ,
other guests were preserving due decor
um he made a conspicuous display of bad
manners, tajking loudly, tic carrying
this to such as extent as to attract
general roiice. That it was not unob
ssrvedbythe Emperor was apparent at
the charity ball, given a little later. At
this point the Emperer made a point of
personally speakicg to. the other am
bassadors pressnt, but conspicuously
avoided the ambassador of the United
States. Things like that are gallinj to
patriotic Americans. Other countries
arc represented by trained diplomat
statesmen aad men of affairs who
make a point of preserving the moet
intimate personal relations with the
German government without which
their official dut'es cannot be properly
and adequately discharged.
"Ihe intsreetj of the country have'
been further prejudiced by the attitude
of First Assistant Secretary of the Em
basBy Jackson, who has made an open
avowal of his sympathy wish Bismarck.
Considering the relations between the
German ruler and Bismarck it is un
necessary to say that euch conuuet on
the part of the court of a friendly
power is decidedly foolish."
As to Corsul General DeKay Mr.
Dewey said his conduct has not been
such as to inspire the respect c! the
lesidentBof Berlin and then be remark
ed with a smile: "Mr. DeKay has or
ganized a fencing club, of which he is
the president. The purpose of the ciub
is to educate the gay and giddy noble
ladits of Berlin in the art of bundling
the foils. At limes he may be seen
posing in tights and it is said they are
padded to produce an ideal effect. Mr.
DeKay's influence is largely confined to
fencing and other gay circles." Mr.
Dewey hko made serious reflections on
the conduct of Deputy and Vice Consul
Zimmerman and continued: I am pre
pared to back up all I say concerning
Zimmerman and the other representa
tives of this country in Berlin. Is it
any wonder that us Americans bang our
heads in shame? Is it any wonder that
we are humiliated as we observe the
bearing and conduct and lack of proper
qualifications of tbeae men and coatrast
them with the qualities of the gentle
men who represent other h'rit class
countries at the eame court. The Em
peror of Germany is known to be par
ticularly well disposed toward the United
Etates and Americans, end even the "con
duct of our representatives does not in
fluence him against this country or its
citizens, but it .makes the misconduct,
all the more flagrant and regrettable."
Mr. Dewey applauds the appointment
of Mr. Andrew D. White as the successor
to Ambassador Uhl. For the first
time, since Phelps's day" he said, "the
United States is to have in Germany a
man who is able to measure up to his
high and important position. I was in
Berlin when Dr. White was there as
minister some years ago, and I can
testify to the regard in which he was
held by the German government He is
knoru over there as a man who has
taken a great interest in Germany, and
as an author on German subjects, his ar
rival is looked forward to with
genuine interest. Dr. "White is con
sidered a person gratissimo in .Berlin
and if he can succeed in bringing about
a change in the peisoncel of the em
bassy the traditions of the past are in a
fair way to be revived."
In discussing European politics Mr.
Dewey paid high tribute to the
Emperor of Germany acd he said the
idea that seemed to be prevalent in this
country concerning William was most
erroneous. He referred to an editorial
in a leading mornirg newspaper in this
city in which the Emperor was spoken
of.as "Billy" and "Sweet William," and
it was said that he might declare war at
