THE R[|CHSIAG OPENED.
The Speech From the Throne Dwell
at Length Upon the Recent
Events in China.
RELATIONS WITH The POWERS GOOD,
The Emperor Refers to the Scenes of
Horror at Pekin Following the
Assassination of the German Min
lister and Expresses sorrow at the
Assassination of King Humbert.

Berlin, Nov. 15.-The reichstag has
reassenbled. The speech from the
throne dwelt at considerable length
on the events in China, which nave
excited such deep emotion among civ
ilized people, saying;
The Misguided Chinese.
"Fanatical hate and dark supersti-
ton, melted by INSCRIPTIONS advis-
crs of the court, have driven misguid-
ed masses of Chinese to acts of atroci-
ty aginst the outposts of western civ
ilization and Christian worship dwell
ing peacefully in their midst.
The Won Ketteler Association.
"My minister died at the hand of
an assassin, in a courageous attempt
to overcome the rising peril. The for
eigners at the capital saw themselves
threatened, life and limb. These
things of horror united the civilized
community where, otherwise, there
was a divergence. All nations, against
which the unparalleled onslaught was
directed, drew closer. Their sons
fought with one mind, shoulder to
shoulder, even as yonder standards
float side by side.
The Governments United.
So the governments show them
selves in council, united with the sole
wish to restore an orderly state of
things as speedily as possible, and, af-
ter the punishment of the chief cul-
prits, avert recurrence in the fu-
ture of such disturbance of the peace
of the world"
Relations With All Powers Good.
In announcing that the relations Of
Germany with all the powers are
good, the speech recalls his ma jesty's
sorrow at the assassination of King
Humbert of Italy, saying he was my
ally and dear friend, who fell victim
to damnable outrage"
The speech then proceeds:
Necessity for Prompt Action.
81 would sooner have consulted the
reichstag on the measures on China,
but for the necessity of prompt &C.
ton, and the difficulty of furnishing
reliable Information. Whenever the
reichstag could form decision or es-
innate the expenditure required, the
government felt confident that the
representatives would not refuse their
subsequent sanction to the necessary
expenditure
Domestic Matters.
Turning to domestic matters his
majesty said that in consequence of
the natural growth Of the revenue,
and the increased taxation voted last
session, more abundant funds were
available in almost every branch OF
life in the empire, especially for meas
ures for the benefit OF workers, and
for the defnse Of the country, A Gus
tens tariff, he added, would probably
be laid before the bundesrath during
the present session.
In Knights Hall of the schioss.
The speech concluded by announce
ing various bill which would be intro.
duced.
The ceremony Of opening the rcichs.
stag occurred at noon in the Knights
hall of the Schloss, in the presence
of the emperor.
At the conclusion Of the speech
from the throne Emperor William was
warmly cheered, and Count Won Bue-
low, the imperial chancellor, formally
declared the session opened.

In spite of coats and skirts, all en-
tire cloth costume remains necessity
in every wardrobe. There are so
many bewitehing little short jackets
that can be worn with any gown that
1T is very hard to resist buying them.
They are almost without exception in
the Eton shape at the back, but with
long tabs in front, are made of differ
ent colors in cloth, two shades of gray,
the lighter shade being used in the
revers, collar and cuffs. In blue they
have facings OF darker blue velvet,
and an outline of black satin making
the reyers still larger. Then there
are the short velvet coats, of which
mention has been made before, and
few-as yet only a very few-of black
cloth, entirely covered with small steel
beads, and made with black satin re-
vers heavily embroidered in steel and
let.

KING LOVELL'S VALUABLES.

The King of the Gypsies passed

ell, at Sharp's Hotel, Forty eighth and
Market streets, on Monday night, says
the Philadelphia Record. All of his
Neutrality-suspicious., harness, clothes,
linen and ornaments, some rare, some
beautiful, all valuable, were heaped
together in huge pile on the lot back
of the hotel, we'll saturated with oil
and set on fire. The seven wagons
thus destroyed were worth over $500
each. They were miniature dwellings,
and were fitted up inside with the
most exquisite furnishings imagina.
BILE. Forty sets of gaudy harness
were burned, along with innumerable
articles designed for domestic use.
Lowell and his tribe had made no
less than four trips around the world.

100 years of age, although he scarcely
looked over sixty five or seventy, al.

is not only very valuable, but remark,
ably beautiful.
The Arabian horses which drew the
regal van Of the Lovells were led to
the side of the burning pile and delib-
erately killed by Ronald Raey, who
seemed to be conducting the weird
ceremonies under the personal direc-
tion of Queen Lowell, who would not
leave the spot until the last thing
owned or used by her departed lord
had been given to the flames. As the
fire died down and the great crowd
passed from the scene, the old woman
and the members OF the tribe wrapped
themselves in their blankets, and,
stretching out on the ground, went
peacefully to sleep with their feet
close to the charred remains of all
that belonged to their dead king.
Queen Lowell refused to say any
thing concerning the singular per-
formance beyond the single expression
"'Tis our way" She has ordered a
new outfit of wagons, and four new
horses will be secured for her van,
and as soon as they are ready, the
tribe will leave Philadelphia and never
appear here again under any circum-
stances.
The burial of King Lowell WAS o
very simple affair. The tribe assem-
bled about the grave and chanted sew
eral unintelligible odes aud left the
place before even the first spadeful of
earth had been thrown into the grave.
The period of mourning for the king
will cover one year.

Lace Combined With Cloth.

Lace jackets to be worn with cloth
skirts, lace waists and cloth sleeves,
and lace capes and cloaks are among
the latest devices on which money can
be spent in providing an up-to-dats
trousseau. The combining of lace
with cloth is very effective, and adds
much to the beauty of the broadcloth
gowns made of colored cloths. 1t is
rather too sharp a contrast to put
white lace with black cloth, and the
black lace, no matter how heavy it is,
has not at all the same look. But a
smart little waist to wear with black
cloth gown that is lined with yellow

Football is an unmi1ed and full,
developed survival of the heroic age
of war and games. Then war, un-
sophisticated by chemistry or me
chanics, had the direct simplicity of
game. Then games, undebauched
by purses and gate money and done
in the service of the State, had some
of the stately dignity of war. Both
