Caprivi's Opening Speech.

BERLIN, April 1.-the Prussian diet
was opened today by Chancellor Caprivi.
In his speech he SAID: 1t is not ny in
tention to state the governments pro-
gramme, but having hitherto held aloof
from a political life, | now wish to speak
a few words in order to approach you
person Y. [Cheers. The chancellor
then referred to the important position
which had been held by Bismarck, and
expressed the hope that in the future the
empire would continue to secure his
counsel. The edi6ce of state, he said,
was cemented firmly enough to resist the
wind aud weather. Moreover. the noble
personality OF the young monarch had al
ready manifested itself at home aud
abroad. He affirmed undying belief in
the future OF Prussia and OF the German
empire resting on PrussiE's shoulders.
Both Tor a long time to come would be
bis historical necc ssitY. Both could an
ticipate a future iull OF hope. The em
peror had said that hIs course would re-
main the same. The Inauguration of a
new era, therefore, was not to be expected
although a more harmonious solidarity
would be manifest among the members
of the diet. Ia conclusion the chancellor
said he would allow the widest scope 10
practical criticism and would adopt what
was good wherever found. He would
co operate with all persons having at
heart the interests OF Prussia and aiming
to foster a monarchic feeling in Prussia
and a national feeling throughout the en-
pire. TCheers.

PITTsBURG, April l5.-Evan Evans
and wife, both W elch. who live in a boat
on the river bank, Have been blessed with
a girl baby with a blue skin-not an ultra
marine, but the co'or a piece OF white
muslin takes on after being rinsed in
indigo water. This color is not alone in
the face of the child, but extends to Its
body and limbs. The attending physician
says the blush color of the skin is caused
by a faulty construction in the heart. The
result of this malformation is that the
lungs do not get an opportunity to pump
a proper supply of oxygen into the blood.
The red c~Orpuscles lose their carmine
color and turn to a sort of blue. Chill
dren with such hearts arc languid, weak
and very susceptible to colds.

days celebration of the twenty fifth ami
versary of the military order OF the
Loyal Legion began this morning. All
morning trains brought Communicates
from various states. 1t is estimated that
when all have arrived the attendance
will number about $500 companies. At
the meeting OF the commandery-in-chief
this morning Rutherford B Hayes,
commander-in-ch chief OF the order. pre-
sided. Gen. Wager Swayne of New
York, offered a resolution that at the
next annual meeting the constitution be
changed to permit the formation of a
commandery in London for the benefit Of
companions residing abroad. The matter
was discussed till recess without action.
At the afternoon session Gen. Swayne's
resolution was Withdrawn because OF the
belief expressed by many that it will be
a dangerous precedent to change the con
stitution. A resolution for the abolition
of grades was voted down.

One evening last week when the
street was lowing in mud n lady in
leaving the "a dropped one of her
overshoes. The conductor rang the
bell for starting, then he stopped and
picked up the overshoe.
Say, lady" he bawled, didn't you
lose your rubberG'
The lady turned on the edge of the
sidewalk, to which she had picked her
muddy way, and seeing that she had
lost her shoe started toward the re
treating a to regain it. But the po-
lite conductor, to spare her the trouble
of recrossing the mud and himself the
trouble of stopping the car, threw the
overshoe to the lady. His aim was
good and the result was that she re-
ceived the muddy shoe directly in the
breast. The conductor grinned the
pleasant grin of one who is conscious
of not only having done his duty but
of having done it nobly, the car rolled
on its way and the lady was left in a
state of mind which may be imagined.

BERLIN, April l5.-The HoHsblar
publishes a manifesto by a meeting of
socialist delegates at Halle Sunday. It
unanimously recommends the observance
of May | as a general labor demonstra

petitions for presentation to the reichstag
asking the enactment OF an eight hour
law. The manifesto further says that
after the victories achieved by the
socialists at the recent elections it Is not
necessary to hold a public review. All
socialist members of the reichstag er-
cept one. who is in prison, signed the
manifesto in which they urgently appeal
to the workmen to avoid conflicts with the
authorities, which they declare. ar,

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator
Evarts today presented the amendments
he proposed to offer to the Chinese
Grafton bill. He proposes to make the
certificates sufficient evidence of lawful
right to remain in the United States in
all children OF Chinese parents born in
the United States from the provisions OF
the sill. Another amendment strikes out
the third section which provides for the
arrest and deportation, or Imprisonment
for FIVE years. of Cinnamon found after
September |. 1890, without the proper
certificate. IT the section is not striker
out Evarts will move to make
the term of Imprisonment six months.
Sestion 7 requires that Chiuamen leaving
certificate for cancellation. To this
Evarts proposes the addition that any
Chinese person other than a laborer who
has or may hereafter lawfully enter the
United States, and who departed or here
after departs, shall be entitled to re-enter
upon evidence satisfactory to the collector
of customs that he or she heretofore had
been in the United States and is not a
Chinese laborer. and the collector of Gus
toms shall issue a certificate to such per
sons.
A protest signed BY sixteen Republican
representatives has been presented to the
committee on ways and means against
the sugar and wool schedule as published.
These representatives urge upon the COM
mittee that a reduction of 25 per cent on
sugar and an increase IN the duty on low
grade or carpet wools from two and one
half 10 three and nine tenths cents a
pound is as great a change as should be
made. The manufacturers OF ingram
carpets say the change to the duty exer-
cised in the schedule will increase the
price eli their product from fifty
to ninety-nine cents and practically
wipe out the business OF 1000
looms and enforce idleness upon
10000 workmen. Coleman of Louisiana
says that unless further advised by ais
constituents be will not vote for any re-
duction on sugar. The Republican men,
bers of the ways and means committee
were in session this afternoon considering
the sugar and wool schedules. The
bounty proposition. as applied to sugar,
was presented definitely by the sugar
manufacturers. They will accept a bounty
In place Of the present duty if they can be
assured it will be continued fifteen years.

1t is a prime necessity of health that
the action of the bowels should be kept
regular. But the way to overcome a
temporary fit of constipation, or to rem

The happy medium between an inopera
