BERLIS, April 2.-Count Won Eulenburgs
opening speech as President OF the minis
try disappointed everybody who knew ms
old form as an orator. Instead OF making
clear, apt statement with the ease Oh
ready speaker, he read his declaration
which was badly drafted and phrased. HIS
DEBUT tended 10 alter the impression that
he would become formidable rval Oh
Chancellor Won Caprivi.
Intimate friends of the latter now pat
ronize Count Won Gutenberg as protege
of the Chancellor, who is credited with
saving that he means TO familiarize the new
chief with the work of the Chancellor ana
the Foreign Office and then retire.
The present session Of the Landtag Will
close on April S. The members are banned
and are furious over the withdrawal OF the
primary education bill. The Clerico-Con-
servatives will give the Government
parting kick, but even the rejection OF tne
credit made necessary by the separation OF
the Imperial Chancellor, and the CHIEF OF
the Prussian Cabinet will not lead 10 an
immediate ministerial crisis. The Gov
ernment may refer the question TO the
uew Landtag.
Count Won Schouvaloff, the Russian Am
bassador 10 Germany, has made overtures
TO Chancellor Won Caprivi with view 10
the restoration OF the commercial entente pc
tween Russia and Germany. No news Tor
a long time has awakened more interest
than has this'in diplomatic circles, where
the report was first discredited. II, how
ever, received confirmation to-day from
St. Petersburg. The initiative was taken
solely by Count Won Schovalon, VINO
has for a. long time been trying
10 induce the Gar 10 consent 10
renewal of friendly commercial relations
with Germany. The Car is reluctant to
give his assent TO the renewal OF the rela-
tions. and has yelled his acceptance OF ms
ambassadors proposals by the appoint
ment Of a commission charged with regu-
lating the commercial relations OF Russia
with foreign nations. This news ought,
for time at least, 10 check the war ru-
mors, which are largely traceable TO the

His Wife's Bill For a Separation-SaYs
She Threatened to DO Him Great Bodily

DETROIT, MrCH., April 2.-'Prince''
Michael Mills's answer to his wife's bill
for separation has been filed. 1t denies
the charges of cruelty, and sets forth that
the reason why Mrs. Mills was tied up was
that she had threatened TO 90 him great
bodily harm, and the only course open to
them under the circumstances was TO hand
her over to the police or TO restrain her
privately. He chose the latter.
Her accusations he says, are the result
ofa conspiracy with people who are op-
possed to them on account of his religious
belief. The property in his name, it is as
serted is merely held in trust for the other
members of the community. The judge
modified the Injunction, restraining Mills
from disposing of his property so that he
might get bondsmen.

With rosy light the sky is all aglow,
A gentle breeze is stealing through the tree.
The cattle from the distant pasture low,
And wild flowers bend beneath the bees,
which seem to swing themselves asleep
Ere silvery shades of evening creep.
Afar hear the night birds melody
Ana cricket chorus, very shril and high
Seeming TO say, although so bright 10 me
This golden summer day must die"
Ana where the sunbeams brightly play
twilight will come, and they will fade away
lis night; all now enjoy sweet rest.
Inc chirping insect and the polened bee;
Each bird has smoothed his downy crest,
And gone to sleep within his fsvorite tree,
Where gentle breezes whispering say,
Farewell. farewell to thee, O summer day.
But near the reeds and rushes by the river,
As deeper grow the shadows OF the night,
little mystic light is seen to quiver,
Pale first. and then with brighter light
The little tirc-flie> wander on and on,
Without murmuring sound or song.
And now the fields as II with stars are filed,
And little glmmers tinge each fern aud flower
.. by what mystic magic are you skilledg
DID you from fallen Plead learn your pow er
TO twinkle. a. YOU wander ever on and on,
Till darkness from the earth has gone!
Whore Is your place Of dwelling in the day:
Why wait You for the evening cold and damp
You wander on your busy-seeming way,
Midst tangled grasses with YOUR tiny lamp,
While birds and other insects sleep;
|, seem. a II a watch yon keep
Yes. God knows best. But death " til bring
To each of Us solemn silent night.
Oh, may we feel the shelter Of an angels wing.
And share Thy holy peaceful light
Which guides Thy children safely DER,
To HeaNer's bright eternal shore.
