THE EMPEROR'S ADDRESS. GERMANY'S REICHSTAG HEARS THE PATRIOTIC MESSAGE. Blamarek'. Pathetlo Words-lie lays All Na. tlons Drought Sorrow to the Urare of the Dead Monarch. BERLIN, March 10.-The Reichstag was packed with people today when the Em peror's message was read to the national body. The message said: "We, Frederick, by the grace of God Emperor of Germany, King of Prussia, etc., proclaim that, with the demise of our beloved father under God's inscrutable will, the imperial dignity, with the Prussian crown, has devolved upon us and we have taken upon ourselves the rights and duties bound up therewith. We are resolved to keep inviolable and firmly uphold the imperial constitution end in this sense t.-enscientiously respect and guard thb onstitutional rights of the indi vidual Federal States ann the Reichstag. JUsTIC$, FREEDOM AND ORDER. "Fully conscious of our exalted task, it will, after the example of our ever-remei bored father, always be our endeavor, in conjunction with princes and free towns of the federation, and with the constitutional co-operation of the Reichstag, to shield jus tice, freedom and order throughout the Fatherland, safeguard the honor of the Em pire, maintain peace at home and abroad and foster the welfare of the people. ''By the unanimous readiness with which the Heichstag agreed to the proposals to strengthen the defensive power,of the Fath erland in order to assure the security of the Empire, the late deeply lamented Emperor had the last days of his life rejoiced and strengthed. lie was not longer permitted to express his thanks to the ltichstag. All the more, therefore, do we feel the need of transmitting to the Reichstag this legacy of its imperial master, who is now resting with God. "We express our thanks in recognition of the patriotism and devotion it has again shown. Trusting contidently to the devo tion and tried love for the Fatherland of the whole people and the people's representa tives we placo the Empire's future in God's hands. "Given at Charlottenburg the 15th (lay of March, 1888. FREnaicK." Countersigned) BISMARCK. RI-PEATED BURsT-s OF A1'PLAUsE. The message was read by IIerr Piesdorff, the President of the leichstag, who re quested permihsion of the house to btbmit to it tomorrow a draft of an address in re ply to the message, expressing devotion to the Emperor. l'his request was unani mnously granted. Herr PieadorT then an nounced that he, with- the Vice Presidents of the House, had, in the name of the Reichstag, asked for audiences with the Emperor, Empress, the Empress Augusta and the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, which will shortly be granted. lie then ex pressed, amid repeated bursts of ttpplaUse, the thanks of the louse for the resolutions of sympathy with Germany passed by foreign parliaments. 'ItIN('E BIRM!AItCK 5PEA1i. Then Prince Bismtarek, rising, said: ''It will afford me gr at"r satisfaetimrt if I am permitted to consider mysel( charged '.y the Il)use to communicate the th anks of the Reichstag to these friendly gove-nmeuts whose Parliaments have expressed sym pathy with the grief surrounding us. Such expressions have come not only from our countrymen in all pa-ts of the world, the latest received being from a far (icrmnan colony in Corea, but from all quarters of the globe, mostly accompanie( by requests to lay wreaths and palms on the Emperor's tomb. "So ' Wi(espread sympathy on the occa slon ot the deai'h of a sovereign has never yet beeni recorded.

TERRIFIC EXPERIENCES OF TWO SHIPWRECKED CREWS. The Bchooner White hwamped Otf Ab.ecomb Light, and Her Crew of Eight Toased for Two Days in an Open Boat-Frightful Suffering of the Crew of the Echooner Ford, Which Went to the Bottora Off the.Delaware Cape.. Two shipwrecked crows, each number ing eight souls arsived in port yesterday suffering from the fearful effects of expos ure and frostbites. Their experiences were strikingly alike. Both vessels were schooners, and were struck by the same hurricane on the same morning when within 100 miles of each other. Both were wrecked. It was raining heavily when the British ship Record arrived at Wooduff's stores, Brooklyn, last. evening. In her ample cabin, stretched on bunks, were the crew of the American schooner W. L. White. They were: Captain J. D. Whitmore, Mate James Kemp, Second Mate Phillyss, the steward and four sailors. Four of them were badly" frostbitten. Mate Kemp gave the following account of the terrors of the voyage which began at Doboy, Ga., on February 9, and ended so disastrously in a hurricane: When the White left Doboy she was one of the stanchest three-masted sehooners afloat. She hadn't a leak, and was loaded with lumber bound for New York. The voyage went well until the night of March 1L', when off Absecomb light. Down came a hurricane upon them from the northeast. The force of the blow was something of which none ot her crew had ever dreamed. huge seas rolled over her. She rose to mount them, fell into the hollow, and groaned like a dying man. Again she rose, but as she did so a shock was felt. ''I think," said Mate Kemp, "that she stuck some wreckage, for after the shock she ied rapidly." For twenty-four hours the hurricane ragrd. A blinding snow storm accompa nied the wind, and with these terrors to combat the crew set to work pumping. They pump-ld for twenty-four hours, when the water rose even with her deck. A small boat was then lowered, a jug of water and some provisions hastily thrown in, and the crew left the pumps to save their lives if possible by an only chance. On the first night the water in the jug froze anl burst the vessel. Thereafter two tablespoonfuIs of water were allowed each man for three days they remained in the open boat. 'l'he mate, in speaking of the sufferings, said: ' 'This was out worst experience. We were ufTering from frostbites and cold, but our tongues sniarted and burned from lack of water." On the morning of March 17 the big British ship Record hove in sight and picked them up, seventy-two miles from Absecomb light., more dead than alive. So great was the exhaustion of Second Mate Phillips that he had to be hoisted on board of the ship with a rope. In speaking of his s'ilferings Phillips said that on the morning of the rescue he had made up his uind to throw himself overboard. hIis thirst was terrible On the Rlecord the men were most hand soniely treated. They were furnished with clothing, food and medicine, and were loud in their praise for Captain Forbes's hospitality. The second mate and steward, whose sufferings from frostbites disables them, will be taken to the hospital today. The W. L,. White was partially owned by Captit Wlitmore, and hails from lHockiland, Maine. She is a new vessil and of 020 tons burden. The schooner Jiunes Ford left Baltimore, loaded with 900 totn. of coal, for New lBed ford. :She was about thirty two miles oil Barnecgat on Mlarch 12 when the terrifle northwest hurricace struck lien full in thc hieaid. Mouta iouis seas rolled dhowni upon her dle(ks, ripping her boats loose, flooding her cabin and1( splitting her sails. The watchli below w"ere wvashed from theit berths in the forecastle out on the (leek. T his wvas amt -1 o'clock in the morning. An hour later the schooner lily rolling about on the ocean, a helpless wreck. D)renchied to the skin, in the face of the biting wvind andI heavy snow, the crew, hea<Oed by Captain Garfiel I, manned thec punmps. 'iTheir laibors commuencedl on Mon day nmornlingI aind endIed on Wednesday. Night and day they pumped ior life. IIalf i tOzen, starvedl anmd crauzedi from thirst, they worke<d to keep afloat.

Richard Mason, aged 78, with his wife, aged 70, lived about one mile south of the village in a hamlet called Podunk. ,They were of English birth, having been inethis country but a few years, and supported themselves by market gardening. They were a quiet, inoffensive old couple who by dint of economy and thrift had accumu lated enough money to pay for thirteen acres of land, from which they obtained a livelihood. Rlchard Barber, a farm laborer, 20 years old, and according to some ac counts Mason's nephew, had made this his home and was regarded as one of the fain ily by Mr. and Mrs. Mason. About 9 o'clock last night Barber came to the house and was invited to stay over night. Mason handed Barber some apples, and while trying to place the dish on the table was struck several times by Barber with a club. Mason called for help from his wife, whereupon Barber rushed into the bedroom where the old lady had retired and beat out her brains with the club. Re turning to the sitting room before Mason could get assistance, Barber pounded the weak old man until the latter sank into unconsciousness. After completing his horrible work Bar ber poured 'kerosene oil over Mason's clothes, piled up the furniture and set fire to the house, waiting on the porch to see that the flames did not die out. Meanwhile Mason, recovering from his swoon, crept out of the burning buihlinp from the rear to a wood pile, where Is bruised and battered nody was fottud by two young men, Alilton Culfman and Fred Worden, who had discovered the fire. They carried him to a place of shelter. IIis head and face were battered out of all sem blance to humanity. hardly a feature was distinguishable. Ilis hair was mattei with blood, little poois of which formed on the floor on which he lay. lie was conscious, however, and gave evidence which led to the capture of the murderer. The rescuing party were unable to save Mrs. Mason's body, as the houss was then a mass of flames. Deputy Sheriff Bouton took posses,ion of the prisoner and took hin to Mason's house for idlentificat ion. When confronted with his victim Barher was seen to tremble violently. Mason exclaimed: ''You villain, why did you murder my wife and Fet fire to my house?" The old man then made an aflidavit charging Barber with the murder. Many threats of lynching were made by the crowd, but under )eputy Sheriff Boti ton's care he was safely conveyed to the Ithaca jail, 'The motive of the crime is not certainly known. One theory is tihat Barber, being Mason's only heir, decided to murder the old man and his wife in order to come into immnediiate possession of $80 which the ol man 1adl concealed about the house. liar her, *hen captured, however, had little-o no money on his person, so that if robbery was commuuitted the money must have beet concealed. 4ENERAL 1VEWM NOTE'iC.

"I had a very singular experience last Sunday," said a tradesman, whose shop I in Oakland is adorned by the sign, "Oral- p thological Rarities," but who, on a pinch, ti would sell a dog or a~ rabbit. "I wats walking on tho beach, not very far from a the Cliff house, and I had just noticed that . an usually large number of sea gulls were flying over the sands, when a hard sub stance struck mne violently upon the head b and staggered me. Luckily my hat was j1 very thick and I am blessed with a tolera bly solk( skull. So I soon recovered my- ( self, and I was looking about to ascertain what had hit me, when I was greatly startled by a weird and ghostly fluttering of wings a foot above me. A great gray d gull had narrowly escaped alighting upon my shoulders. He just succeededl in check ing his impetuous descent as his feet al most touched me. With a queer kind of half frirhtoned cry he was again into the air. lint what had brought him so close to me? I soon found out. Lying on tho t sand was the thing that had given me f that blow upon the head. It was a largo black mussel, and the sea gull had dropped it from a (izzy height upon my unoffend Ing scalp. I have studied the habits of these birds pretty carefully, and I know very well why he had done it. He was trying to get at his linner, and as the shell of h the mussel was still unbroken, and I wished to see bit try again, I walked a couple of hundred yards away and then o turned to watch his movements. See- c lug that the coast was clear, lie quickly a flew back to the placo where the tussel 3 had fallen, seized it in his beak and, again rising high into the air, hte lt it drop.i lie followed it closely as it fell, keeping t almost beside it during the greater part of the descett., and only moderating his downward rush when ho was in danger of dashing himself upon the beach. The mussel struck the sand, but the shell was still unbroken, and, indeed, it was very evident to me that the soft grontd Itat t received it would never lay it open. 'IhenI I flung the mussel to a distance, atnl i ho gull, seeming to take this as a it that my head was not a 'hopping block, :eized his troublesonto delicacy and flew away. I saw himt turn a little inland, rise oncoii more to a great height. dart swiftly down and then wing his way out to sea. I found timat many stones lay at the place of his last descent; so, doubtless, his per severance was at length rewarded, al lie had gone off to sone lonely rock to dine.'' -San Francisco Examiner.
