BERLIN, Oct 22.-The reichstag opened
to-day. Won Boetecher, vice president OF
the Prussian ministry, read the emperor's
speech from the throne. The address says;
"The attention of the present reichstag has
been especially directed to securing peace
abroad and at home and the tasks of the
forthcoming session will be in the same di-
rection. When the reichstng met In 1887
the foremost object was the consolidation
Of the defensive powers of the fatherland.
The reichstag, with patriotic appreciation
of the situation, applied itself thereto.
Your co-operation To this end will be again
claimed in order To develop the efficiency OF
the army. Its readiness Tor action IN ac-
cordance with whatever circumstances may
arise will thereby impart TO the Efforts ot
the emperor and his exalted allies for the
preservation of peace the weight which is
their due in the council of the nations. A
bill will be presented by the government
amending the military law Of May ?, 1874.
II will proyide for fresh distribution
of the army. and is intended To
resdiust in the interest of training
and the conduct of the army. the inequall-
ties of the organization which have arisen
through strengthening the army ana the
displacement of troops from time TO time.
This cause and the corresponding expansion
of the naval power causes the additional
expenditure set forth in the budget. The
financial statement 20 be submitted will

The Zanzibar slave Trade.

LONDON, Oct. 22.-Letters from Zanzibar
received at the office of the anti slavery so
ciety here report the buying and selling OF
human chattels in the streets of that city
is being carried on with scarcely an attempt
at concealment. Weekly markets are held
at which slaves are boldly exposed 10 the
gaze of intending buyers and in many cases
each slave carries placard suspended from
his neck upon which is written the price at
which he can he bought. The women are
not usually ticketed in this way, but are
sold for what they will fetch. the ordinary
price being &c TO so each if young. The
merchants who carry ON the traffic are all
Arabs. but it appeared 10 he well under
stood in Zanzibar that rich firms of Eng
llsh traders furnish all the capital 10 con-
duct the business.
All the local officials of Zanzibar are said
70 he III the pay of this firm, who purchase
immunity by orders from authorities from
the highest 10 the lowest and so complete
is their influence that complaint receives
little attention. TO illustrate the openness
with which the trnde is carried on, the re-
ceipts of slaves every week are publicly nn-
nounced by placards upon the walls OF the
houses in red letters. Representatives in
Zanzibar of the different European govern
ments appear To take no interest whatever
In the matter.
