Germany.

The Speech from the Throne-Rela-
 tiOns with Foreign POvgers-New
 Measures and the Grounds for Them.
 BERLIN, Feb. 12.-The session of the Reich stag was opened to-day. The speech from the throne says that the relations of the Govern ment with all the foreign powers are peaceful and friendly, and confidence is felt in the maintenance of peace through the labors of the Berlin Congress, which have been upheld, and the stipulations of the treaty of Berlin executed in almost all their points. The om- pire would seduously and unselishly, and con- scious of it's own power, continue to partici pate in the endeavors to secure a lasting peace for Europe in consonance with the pacific dis position of it's people, and with that object would endeavor to procure the cooperation and guaranty of the powers similarly disposed. The Emperor, in announcing the biennial budgets, expressed his confidence that the Reichstag would feel satisfied with the finan- cial showing and vote the customary supplies for carrying on the Government. His Majes- ty said that he deemed it expedient to advise the prolongation of the anti-socialist laws and hoped Parliament would agree with him as to the propriety of maintaining strict le- gal guard against the disorganizing elements now too lamentably rife as in other countries of Europe. He did not apprehend any serious disaster from this source, deeming that the German people were too well satisfied with their present form of government to desire to substitute anything less stable, but for the time being, unless rigidly controlled, the so cialists were capable of disturbing the public mind by the utterances and dissemination of untimely and fallacious sentiments. The En- peror then added that it gave him pleasure to announce the conclusion of desirable and favorable treaty with the South Sea Islands.
 The Berlin National Gazette bears stress upon the pacific tone of the Emperor's speech, but it's wording has excited much comment.
 The Government has asked the federal council to prohibit foreign vessels from par ticipating in the German coast trade, except such as are authorized by treaty, and any in- fringement of the law to be punished by fine and confscation.

AWestern Rabbit Yarn.


 Ever since the cold snap the Washoe and Piute Indians have been selling jack rabbits in astonishing quantities at figures which have ruled considerably below their usual mar ket prices. Bill Jackson, who has been hunt ing for & week, tells remarkable story in connection with this bountiful supply. A few days ago he visited Kings Canon, and there he asserts he found acres of jack rabbits froz- en stiff on the ground. Rather than shoulder the responsibility of the remarkable state ment, we give the yarn in Jackson's own worlds
 "You see the cold snap drove the rabbits into the canon out of the wind. One moon light night came across drove of over five hundred making for the canon. They were all huddled together, getting as much warmth as possible from each others bodies. The drove were packed together as close as the threads of a three-ply carpet, and as they moved along they looked like big army blanket drawn over the ground. They pass ed close by me, and when I fired into the drove with shotgun, eight or ten dropped, but the others closed right up and passed on as before. This drove were making for Ash Canon. I didn't think at the time exactly what was up, but few days ago was up to Kings Canon, and there I saw sight which wasthe most uncommonest thing I ever glued my eyes to. There were the rabbits-acres of 'em-al huddled together in a bunch, and packed like sardines, and every one of lem froze stiff as 8 wedge. I turned up the edge of the mass with my gun, and broke off 8 slice with dozen in all stuck together. Pres ently some Indians came along and began to yell. They concluded they'd struck 8 meat bonanza, and they've been luggin' of the rab- bits ever since. That's the reason rabbits are so cheap around this town. Why, out in the brush you eau find whole gangs of 'em stand in on their hind legs, and frozen stiff. I shot 8 single one the other day, 'sposin' he was alive
 Other hunters report thousands of frozen jack rabbits in Carson Valley, although none have as yet viewed the astonishing sights de- scribed by Jackson.

Forty-Sixth Congress.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.
 SENArE-Mr. Kirkwood. from the Commit tee on Pensions, reported adversely on the bill granting pension to Herman Netterfeld, scout during the late civil war.
 MT. Call hoped that would be passed. Netterfield had rendered valuable aid to the country, even though he was not regularly en- listed and he was entitled to pension.
 Mr. Logan did not believe in opening the pension doors to everybody who knocked at them. The Government could not afford to pension everybody who had rendered service to the Government. He did not have the best opinion of scouts. Scouts were generally looked upon as kind of detectives and adven- turers who went from one camp to another, communicating what they heard to either side for pay.
 Pending the discussion the morning hour expired and the Senate resumed consideration of the bill to authorize the Secretary of War to ascertain and certify the amount of land To- cated with military land grants in certain States. MT. McDonald advocated the bill. MT. Thurman proceeded to discuss the bill. In the course of his remarks he said this bill had been spoken of as 8 measure which pre- posed to give gratuity to States lately in re- bellion.
