SAN Francisco. CAL. Nov. 3O.-The United
States gunboat Alert. which has Just arrived
from Guatemala. brings news that the treasure
of Cocos Island may have been found and may
now be slowed away on the British warship
Amphion. While tho Alert was at San Jos6 de
Guatemala, the Amphion arrived from Victoria,
b. c., and after the Captain had taken on board
Carlos Hartford. who had obtained q concession
from Costa Rica to hunt for tho treasure, he
sailed for Cocos. Hartford Is the man who
failod to get help from his Government to search
for tho treasure and finally went to Victoria,
b. c., and Interested Admiral Palliser In his
tale. He asserted that he knew tho location of
the treasure. and the Imporieuse was sent to
Cocos Island with Hartford as guide.
The marines dug a holo and uncovered a slab
Of granite which bore an inscription. While
they were trying to dig into the tunnel which
was revealed by lifting the slab. the walls of tho
tunnel fell in. They put in a blast, but this
simply made mntters worse. When the I'M
perieuse returned to Victoria with this yarn IL
was regarded as a fake. but tho fact that tho
Admiral at once despatched tho Amphion to
Cocos Island, and that she took Hartford along,
made the officers of the Alert believe that the
Imperieuse secured information which was not
disclosed. and that the haste In returning was
due to the desire to save the treasure. AT any
rate; the return of tho Amphion will bo eagerly
awaited.

sSsstai cabis Despatoh to THn sux.
BERLIN, Nov. 3o.-The Parliamentary session
Of tho ReichstAg was opened to-day. Tho
Emperor conducted tho opening In person. road.
ing tho speech from the throne himself instead
OF deputi1ing the Chancellor to read 1t In the
chamber. as Is customary.
The ceremony took place In the White Hall OF
the Schloss at noon.
After reading the speech the Emperor recalled
how, two years ago, he had sworn on the same
spot where he was then standing to maintain
and protect everywhere the prestige and honor
Of the empire. He added:
"In the sight OF Almighty God, and by the
memory Of the great Emperor, l now ask your
help TO enable me In the future also TO keep this,
my oath. and to assist mo to uphold with my
might the honor Of the empire abroad for the
pledge my only brother"
This addition to the speech was quite un.
foreseen, and It was received In docorous but
absolute silence. Even Chancellor Won Hohen-
lobe looked politely surprised.
Nobody quito understands tho quasi.pathetio
appeal, especially as the Importance attached to
the appointment OF Prince Henry Of Prussia to
m the addition OF the German feet In
Chinese waters is somewhat at variance with
the temperate reference to the Chinese incident.
The Emperor's speech was chiefly devoted to
naval matters. He declared that tho German
navy was not equal to its mission and did not
sufic to afford security, to the home ports and
that the German trade was increasingly shar.
ing the markets. Of the world, but Germany'n
wnrships were not SUFFICIENT to protect their
cpuntrymen abroad by giving them tho support
which could only DO secured by q display Of
pQwer:,.
powers OF the first rank, but Germany must DO
able TO maintain her prestige.
The Emperor also referred to the bill which
the Government will introduce. designed to i'm
prove the steamship connections OF Germany
With the ports OF eastern Asia, ana for tho
establishment OF an economic committee for tho
preparation of new commercial treaties. He
Chime for the purpose of obtaining compensn-
tion for outrages. and to secure the certainty
that there would be no further murders Of Cor
mans.
There was no cheering at tho conclusion OF tho
imperial speech. The deputies present merely
bowed their acknowledgements ofthe address.
THE Emperor's speech 10 mainly regarded as
df the interest attaches to the extempore add
zion he made to 1t.
The speech has puzzled Herr Richter, tho
lettier of the Richter Radicals. He u%nkindly
remarks that Germany's sacrifice to the honor Of
tho empire abroad already represents an increase
oe. $4,000, 600 merks IN the nation u debt since
the death OF Emperor William /. Elsewhere It 10
powise appears to imperil the safety Of Prince
Henry, 10 entirely to the Princes own liking.
