kindly disposed towards the young

willing that home should be woman's

BERLIN, April pa bulletin issued
this morning says: The Emperor SLEPT
well last night. His fever is very Sigh
and his general condition begins to i'm
prove.
The Emperor rose at noon and
walked in the room adjoining his bed
room. Tue doctors are in hope that
he will be able to drive out by Monday.
Queen Victoria visited the Mausoleum
this morning and spent some time
In prayer at the tomb of Emperor
William. The Empress and her
daughters accompanied the Queen.
BERLIN, April 26-During the day
the Emperor has been out of bed tour
hours. His temperature is now almost
normal. His sense of taste, which he
lost during the critical period, has re-
turned. This is regarded as an ex-
ceptionally favorable sign. He seems
better in every respect. His appetite is
remarkable. He has again begun to
hear state reports. The physicians are
of the opinioA that the crisis has passed.

HOUSE.

The Senate bill passed for the relief
OF the Omaha tribe of Indians in
Nebraska, and to extend the time for
the payment to the purchasers of lands
Of said Indians.
The House then went into committee
of the whole on the tariff bill.
buchanan, of New Jersey, opposed
at almost every industry in his district.
He denounced in general, and in detail
the provisions of the bill.
Remphill, OF South Carolina, said he
could not conceive a system more I'M
just, unreasonable, unfair and unright-
eons than the protective system. He
earnestly app saled TO every gentleman
who had the faintest conception of jus
tice to lend his aid to the pending bill.
Osborn, of Pennsylvania, submitted
an argument against the bill, which he
characterized as blow at the dignity
of American labor. He protested, in
the name of Pennsylvania, against the
passage of the bill. which would destroy
its industries, impoverish its farmers,
and degrade its laborers.
Hudd. of Wisconsin, denied that the
boosted system of protection had indeed
protected the American laborer.
The committee arose and the House
took recess until S p. M. this evening,
the session to be tor debate on the tariff
bill.
Sayres, of Texas, addressed the House
at its evening session, in general COM
mendation of thu Mills tariff bill. The
bill, he said, was a step in the right
direction, and, if passed, would be SO
much gained in the effort to relieve the
people from as oppressive and unequal
a burden as had ever been imposed by
government in modern
times.
The House at 90 adjourned.

The Behring Sea Fisheries.

OTTAWA, April 26.-In the House of
Commons, tonight, the correspondence
with reference to the Behring Straits
seal seizures was brought down. Most
of it deals with the protests of
the British government, the ate
ments being by Bayard that
for the time being no oher seizures
would be ordered and the advice of the
crown that the owners OF the seized YES
sells have case for damage. The only
new and important matter Is con-
tanned in the dispatches OF
Lord Salisbury to Her Majesty's
plenipotentIaries at the fisheries
conference, under date of December 2.
1881. He said he received. on the 20th,
a telegram from Mr. Chamb 4rlaiD, In
curing whether the proposal for an
international conference in regard to
the Behring Sea fisheries had bsen &C
cepted by Her Majesty's government.
You are aware, from the correspond
ence in your possession, that the COM
munications with reference to the pro-
posal would appear TO have been ad-
dressed t. some the maritime lowers
of the United States for an interna-
t1onal convention, for the protection of
vessels in the Behring Sea, and were
received last October. from the German
and Swedish charge d 'affaires inLondon.
No definite invitation for an lnterua-
tional understanding on this question
has yet been received from the United
States government by Her Majesty's
government. In answer to a question
from Phillips, 1 have expressed myself
as being invariably disposed to nego-
tate tor an agreement as to the close
of the season in all the seal fisheries. to
Wbosoever belonging, but 1 carefully
separated the question from all contro-
versies as to fishery rights" This ter
inmates the correspondence, of which
this evidently is selection.

Maine Republicans.

BANGOR, Maine, April 26.-The Re
publican State Convention was called
to order, 7S3 delegates being in attend
suce. Horace b. Burbank was elected
chairman. The candidates, with a
single exception. were elected by accla-
nation. Charles H. Prescott, Joseph
Il. Manley, s. Fl. Allen and Charles A.
Boutelle. were elected delegates-at-
large. The alternates and electors
having been elected, the com
mlttee on resolutions reported
the platform, which was adopted.
and the convention adjourned.
The platform declares for the
protection of American industry,
and that it is the duty of Republicans
in Congress TO resist to the utmost the
passage of Mills tariff bill; favors the
abolition of SO much of the revenue
tariff taxes as will bring the total re-
ceipts of the Treasury to equal, as
nearly as practicable, the just expendi-
lures of the government; that Hon.
James g. Blaine, our long-trusted
statesman, is deserving of the
thanks of the people of Maine
and of the entire nation for
the promptness and remark
able ability and facility with which, in
his Paris letter, he answered the free
trade manifesto of President Cleveland
and pointed out the duty of maintain
tanning American industries and
markets for the American people.
The physicians, tonight, say the
Emperor is better in every respect and
that the crisis is past.
