WISE'S LETTER, AGAIN.
MORE REPUBLICAN, OPINIONS IN RE-
GARD TO IT.
What Representative Yost Says-0pening
the Way to Reorganiza-
tion, &c.

WASHINGTON. March Ex-senator Rid
dleberger was over on the House side OF
the Capitol to-day consulting with the
Virginia Republican representatives IN
reference TO another meeting for the
purpose Of selecting the Virginia mem.
Der of the Republican Congressional
Committee. They agreed to meet to-
morrow at 9 p. NJ. for that purpose,
when it is probable, as l om informed
by MIR. Yost, that Colonel Henry Bowen,
OF the Tazewell district, will be chosen.
The impression among the anti-Mahone
Republicans here is that the letter OF
Captain John Wise will open up the way
for reorganization OF the party in Vir-
GINA. Mr.. Yost says he is perfectly
satisfied with Mr.. Wise's plan OF
reorganization, and thinks that or some
thing similar will be adopted by the con-
vcntion. In spite of Mahone's influence,
which he admits to be still formidable,
he is Of opinion that the great majority
of the party will come together and
adopt plan OF representation that will
recognize the masses and do away with
the one-man power that has hitherto
handicapped them. He says he has re-
ceived many private letters on the line
OF Captain Wise's letter, and he thinks
the latter's address voices the sentiments
of Virginia Republicans generally.
The Committee on Ways and Means
have settled down to hard work, and
will hold daily meetings both morning
and night until they are ready to report
the Mills bill. To-day they had under
consideration the free list and the chemi-
cal schedule. Some changes were made
which had been previously agreed upon
by the Democratic members, the most
important OF which was subJecting
cements to a duty OF 10 per cent. instead
of putting them on the free list.
MIR. Taulbee to-day introduced in the
House a resolution on civil service which
is intended to supplement the Senate
resolution to investigate the Cleveland
Administration On that subject. Mr..
Taulbee's resolution covers the whole
period since the passage OF the civil
service law, and will afford an Opportu
nifty Of comparing its execution under
Republican and Democratic Adminlstra-

I've. Frederick, by the grace OF God
King OF Prussia, hereby proclaim and
make known that it having pleased God,

greeting. The sentiments and purposes
With which we enter upon our govern
ment and the principles on which we
would exercise ourroyal Office have been
proclaimed by us to our faithful people.
Walking in the paths OF our glorious
father, we shall knowno other aim OF our
striving than the happiness and welfare
OF the Fatherlaud. BY cOnscientlously
observing the Constitution fully safe
guarding all the prerogatives OF the
Crown, and Loyalty cooperating WITH
the national representation, the hlng
hopes, with Gods help, 10 attain his
object, which is the happiness aud vel
fare Of the country. The condition OF
his health prevents him from taking the
oath personally. Desiring to declare
without delay his position regarding the
constitutional laws, although this could
admit Of no doubt, he now solemnly
undertakes to adhere to the Constitution
firmly and inviolably and to rule IN con-
formity with the laws.
The united sitting Of the Landtag to
hear the royal message was invested with
unusual interest, and the galleries over
flowed with visitors. As soon rs the
members had assembled Bismarck, nc
companied by all the Ministers of State,
entered the hall and read the message,
When the Chancellor had ceased reading
the Duke Won Ratihor, president OF the
upper house, said that it was not IN his
province to say how each house would
reply to the message He would now
simply ask the assembly to mark the
Kings faithful attachment and devotion
and unite in the cry of "Long live King

Richmnnd Theatre.

Jules Nerne's novel "Michael Stro-
golf, as dramatized, was ably rendered
bv the Charles J.. Andrews Company at
the Theatre last night. The house was
a good one and thoroughly enjoyed the
performance.
Michael Strogof is somewhat spectacu-
lar, and that, interspersed with power
ful dramatic representation, makes the
play one of great interest.
Jules Verne in his other stories has
drawn largely on the imagination, but in
his Michael Strogoff there is a reality
throughout. Mr.. Andrews's cast is well
selected, and the piece is well put on the
stage, giving, it is said, very truthful
representation Of Russian and Siberian
life. The ballet was good and went
through their drill with precision.
