BERLni, October 17, 1879. The only newspaper topic which seems to be able to excite real interest in Germany at present, is the recent manifestations by Russians of their ha- tred of the Germans. The immediate cause of this outbreak is 41oubtless knownt�you already; Some time ago an army lieutenant wrote a letter to the St. Petersburg Gazette from Dunaburg, in which he described the German vol- unteer fire companies in the Baltic Pro- vinceas traitorous institutions, against which the State should be on its guard. This excited anger and vigorous protest on the part of the Germans. The Czar soon after this attended a reunion of several of the German fire companies of the Baltic Provinces, addr ssed them with marked favor, and exp essed him- self highly pleased with thei voluntary efforts in rescuing the lives a e d property of their countrymen. This course of the Czar, as well as his goi g soon af-- terward to Alexandrovo to meet the Emperor of Germany, was a hint to the necessarily servile Ru sian press too strong to be mistaken. The at - iacks on the Germans sto ped for a hort time. The 10th of September however, rought a second newspaper letter from correspondent in Duna urg, which pened the so-called new paper war IISW aud with increased vio euce. He eiterated and emphasized he charges against the German volunte r fire com- panies of Dunaburg, Riga nd li.litate According to him they steno under the , influencb of Germany, and. re simply copies of the Association "T gendbund" formed by the Prussian. Min ster'Stein, which was instrumental 'n freeing the frontier German prov noes from France in 1813; these fire companies are filled with traitors, who bave the design of freeing the Ger 'an Baltic Provinces from Russia a d uniting them to Germany. These attacks of the Russian press upon th Russian- Germaus and others direc ly against Germany, together with the mutual en- mity of Gortschakoff and rince Bis- marck, have occupied. the a teution of the German newspapers, an yesterday the Kolnische Zeitung decla ed openly that the friendly relations itherto ex- isting between Germany nd Russia had ceased. It was to be oped that this charge of feeling betwe n the two governments might not lea i to war; that Russia might repent a .1 the peace of Europe be preserved. A • the same time this proniine,it journal of Cologne considered it as especially nfortunate that the bitternea; of the R ssians was mainly fostered 1.y journals standing in near relations te the Gove urnent. It might have added as signi cant that the German newspapers hich have given most attention to the attacks of the Russian press, and havs now and then judiciously fanned t e fire lest it should by any . means o out, also occupy an official or semi- fficial posi- an Govern - f the Ger- ter known he newspa- pers of St. Petersburg and iloecow dare - not give openlyeand which the German press does not 'like to di close. The Russians accuse the Germa s of faith- lessnesS to their interests t the Con- gress of Berlin and since; ie Germans - upbraid the Russians with f 1 rgetfulness, a perversion of facts and ingratitude. This does not go to the root of the mat- ter; etill less the affair of he fire com- panies, which is the merest pretext, and stands in about the saline rel ation to the quarrel as the meetiva of t e Prussian King and the French Amb ssador Ber- nedetti at Enas in July, 187a, did to the Franco-Prussian wax.

The ssence of the whol matter is this: The Russians long or constitu- tional liberties, and they I elievo that the Germans are irtstrume fel in caus- ing a continuance of the p esent auto- cracy. The Czar's mother was a Ger- man, a sister of the Germa Emperor, making him, as is well known, the nephew of the latter; his vife is also a daughter of Louis II. of : essen. His sympathies are all Germa , and lead him to pass considerable tile e in Ger- many and surround him elf in St. Petersburg with 1Germa • s. These favorites, whose positions i epend now alone upon the Czar's will, would lose all importance if. the Ru-sian people had a voice in the govern anent. They feel this, an.d do all in the r power to prevent it, flattering the Czar and preaching incessantly the old doctrine of the "unripeiaess" of the ussian peo- ple for free institutions. "The Rus- sians," explained a Russian gentleman in Geneva, to me, " are rule over by a set of German foreigners, whose only interest in the country is in what they can make out of it. Thy fill the offices, rob the people of th ir earnings, oppress them, preach con inually the ignorance and inability of t e Russians, and prevent in every way the CZAr from becoming acquainte with his people and learning their e., cellent and noble qualities. The Czar imself is in reality a foreign ruler; he is German in sympathies and tastes a well as in blood.-" We have in this explanation which, whether correct or not, is be- lieved by the Russians, the true inter- pretation of their hatred of the Ger- mans. The newspaper articles written upon the traitorous designs of the Ger- man fire companies did not originate in an overwatchful zeal for &Attaining the integrity of The Czar's empire, but in an effort to prejudice ihe ruler' of "all the Russias" against the Germans and thus destroy their influence. • The exertions of the "German -haters" appear at length to be meeting with success. The very fact of the possi- bility of a newspaper war indicates the leaning of the government: It is an- nounced to -day that the Russian Min- ister of the Interior has suspended the Russkajah Prowda on account of its violent attacks upon Germany; but. this ' will scarcely deceive Many per: sous. It is only to serve as a' pretence on the part of the officers for saying that the work of the newspapers is not their doing. A more significant fact is the recent increase of the Ruseian army, which makes it larger by 700,000 men than formerly, and the movement of troops toward the west. In the mean- time all the G-erman newspapers, in- cluding the official journals, proclaim loudly that Germany in 1877 and 1878 paid off the debt which she owed to Russia for her non-interference in 1870, and that the Fatherland, with all its love of peace,"is prepared to defend itself against Slavic aggressions. The feeling of the mass of Russians is not a matter of doubt. Even the Frankferter Zeitung admits that the Russian jour- nals express only the sentiments of their readers, and the Kolnische Zeitung as- serts that the prospect of peace stands in an inverse ratio to the weight of the voice of the Russian people. What -will be the result of this agita- tion of the "German•haters" ? It is ul- timately bound to direct the policy of the government. It is a well-known fact that the Russian Crown Prince -heartily detests the Germans, and that this has led to certain unpleasantness in the Imperial family. All Russians whom I have ever met, and. I have made the acquaintance of many, hope and pray for the death of the Czar; their faces brighten as they speak of his age, disease and feebleness. Every- thing is hoped from the accession of his son; constitutional liberties, devel- opment of the immense resources of the empire, the establishment of schools and universities, as well as all sorts of free institutions, which alone are need- ed to place Russia in the van of civili- zation. But the first step the new Em- peror is to take' in his great reform work will be to purge the land of Germans. As a Russian forcibly expressed. -it to me, "Er wird- sie hinausschneissen"- "he will- pitch them out." With this feeling on the part of Russia, a growth of years, the question of war with Ger- many is only one of time. Even now speculation is rife in regard to the way the different powers will eange them- selves in what is supposed will be a general European war. The personal friendship existing between William I. of Germany and his nephew may possibly keep the nations at peace until the death of these two aged monarchs. Then; at the farthest, the two people will come together with a crash which will shake Europe to its foundations. E. Catiada.
