Berlin, May 3.—ln the reichstag to
day Caprlvi declared the government
would endeavor by every constitutional
means to secure the passage of the army
bill. Continuing, the chancellor said
the federal government was resolved to
employ bll constitutional means in its
power to at tain" its object. The rejection
of the bill would create abroad the im
pression that there wbb weaknees here.
"In the name of the empire and in the
name of Prussia," concluded the chan
cellor, "I announce that Yon Iluenes'
proposal is acceptable to us."
The army, the chancellor said, ac at
present constitnted, was unequal to
any emergency that might arise. He
reminded the members of the reichstag
tbat the ablest diplomacy wbb not an
efficient substitute for military strength.
In support of this assertion, he cited
the experience of Frederick the Great of
Prussia.
The fate of the army bill ie the theme
of excited discussion in the lobbies of
tbe reichßtag. The government, it is
said, informed tbe army bill committee
that if tbe bill ie rejected, tbe reichstaK
will be forthwith dissolved, the remain
ing business ol the session being set
aside.
The members ol tbe Centre party had
an uproarious meeting today to consider
the proposition supported by Yon
Huenes as to the terms on which the
Centrists should support the army bill
in the reichstag, Tho meeting waß
most exciting, and resulted in tlie re
jection of Yon Huenes' proposition by
an enormous majority. Count yon
Billestem thereupon resigned as lesder
of the Centre party. Oount yon Prey
eing-Licliteuegg-Moos of Stranding wbb
elected to succeed him. Afterwards it
was decided the members should vote
according to their Individual convic
tions.
BRITISH COMMONS.
Gladstone Favors an Right-Hour Ilay
for Minors.
London, May ;!. —In the liouae of com
mons today Samuel Woods, a labor
member of parliament for Southwork,
Lancashire, and vice-president of the
National Federation of Mines, moved a
bill establishing eight hours an a legal
day's work in the mines. It was read
the second time.
Gladstone commented on the proba
ble effect of the measure. He didn't
believe, he said, a diminution ot theout
put would produce an increase of wages.
All were agreed, he said, that it was not
a party question and the government
could not be identified with it. He
was personally unwilling to interfere
with the freedom of adult labor, but
the present case seemed to juntify an
exception to the general principle, since
the majority of the miners favor the
proposed restriction. He would, there
fore, support the bill under restrictions,
and would not consent to the extension
of its provisions to Northumberland
and Durham, where there was strong
opposition to the proposed limitation.
The question having been asked
whether tbe government was prepared
to appiy the same principle ol local op
tion to tbe government of Ireland which
it was proposed to apply to the question
of eight hours in the mines, Gladstone
reminded the house that in submitting
the Irish home rule bill he expressed
his willingness to entertain such a prop
osition il Ulster so desired. The gov
ernment, Gladstone said, had never
withdrawn from tl<iß position, although
of course the government had not tried
to give it effect, in view of the disincli
nation of the people of Ulster to accept
such a plan. The eight-hour bill for
miners passed to second roading by a
vote of 271) to 201.

The Boisterous Atlantic
1b a terror tv timid voyagers, scarcely less on
account ol the perils of the deep than the al
most certainly of sea sickness. The best cura
tive of mat d< inrr is Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters, which settles the stomach at once and
prevents its disturbance. To all travelers and
tourists, whether by sea or land, it presents a
happy medium between the nauseous or inef
fectual resources oi the medicine chest, and the
problematical benefit derivable from an un
medloated a'cohollc stimulant, no matter how
pure. The jarring of a railroad car often pro
duces stomachic disorders akin to that caused
by the rolling of a ship. For this the Bitters is
a rrompt an.l certain remedy. The use of a
brackish water, particularly on long voyages
in the tropics, inevitably breeds disorders of
the stomach and bowels. Hostetter's Stomach

By the Associated Press.]
San Francisco, May 3.—The Oakland
baseball team has refused to play more
games until Colonel Robinson makes
a satisfactory settlement as to unpaid
salaries. The men were to go to Los
Angeles Monday night and bad as
sembled at the depot apparently for that
purpose, but they then demanded pay
ment of arrears and were refused, so the
train left without them. The meu Bay
the nay day for the first month's work
has been passed nearly four weeks, and
they have received not a cent.
Colonel Robinson declares, however, he
owes the men nothing for the first
month's salary, as he gave them ad
vance money before the season opened,
and he is simply making the ÜBual de
ductions. The men claim the custom is
not to require repayment in a lump
sum, but to make regular discounts on
tbe monthly salary throughout tbe sea
sou. There the matter hangs, and
there probably will be no baseball in
Los Angeles this week.

THE "TWENTY QUESTIONS" GAME.
An Interesting Diversion For a Whole
Ilooraf nl of Clever People.
Among the most acceptable games for
small companies Is the game of "Twenty
Questions," a great favorite with the
English, although not widely known
here.
The,requiaites for "Twenty Questidna"
aro, first, two rooms, that the company
may be divided into two sides. The di
vision of the guests may be done by their
■electing one of two colors in belle, balls
or ribbons, or by tho choosing of sides
after tho old fashioned spelling school
style. The hostess must see to it that
there bo an even division of the objects
and exactly the same number as there
are guests, in order to prevent the leav
ing out of a friend or other awkward
mistakes. Two leaders or spokesmen
should be chosen, the host being natu
rally one of them, aad it will also save
further mishaps if the second leader be
previously selected and given the idea of
tho game.
The sides being selected either by
drawing of ribbons or by choice of the
leaders—a method which has its awk
ward side where there are people sensi
tive to being tho last chosen in a com
pany—each side retires to its own room
aud selects an object which its opponents
aro to discover by tho asking of 20 ques
tions, or ns many less than that number
ftdeTo Keep aVec6rVroi"triVrfa?s{sonß ana
and answers by numbers, that no con
fnsion may arise from misunderstood
questions or replies. To this end each
scribe should keep tally on two sheets of
paper—the questions of his own side
with tho respective answers on one, and
the opponente' questions and the replies
of his own aide on the other.
Tho object selected may bo inanimate,
animate, ancient, modern or historical,
may exist in fact or fiction, the only
qualification being that it shall be suf
ficiently well known bo that a majority
of the players on the other side may be
supposed lo have seen or read about it.
A spirit of fairness should of course be
shown in the selection of objects, and in
each case the answers should be honest
and not hairsplitting, although giving as
little information as possible. Such ob
jecte aa Ben Franklin's loaf of bread,
which he carried nnder his arm as he
walked up Market street in Philadelphia,
the metal cap of the Washington monu
ment, tho last rail laid on a local rail
road, tho armor of tho Black Prince in
tho Tower of London and Rip Van "Win
kle's gun will illustrate the wide range
of choice in objects permissible. After
each Bido announces the choice of its
subject through ite leaders by knocking
on the door, hostilities begin.
Each eido deliberates on the questions
to be givon tho other and ite own re
plies with closed doors, each guest con
tributing informally his ideas of wording
the replies and questions and his guesses
an to the enemy's object. But communica
tion with the, opposing side must be con
ducted wholly through tho leaders, the
other people being silent when the doors
are open. And tho leadefs must not
make answers or put questions without
first consulting their respective sides.
The doors slwuld never be opened with
out a warning knock. Any question is
allowable, tho first one being generally,
"To what kingdom does your object be
long? "—Philadelphia Times.
The Skulls at Malvern Hill.
"I think the ghastliest sight I ever
saw," said Sheriff Barnes, "was during
tl*e lato war on the field of Malvern Hill.
I was in the battle and a more terrifio
engagement I never witnessed. Bnt that
is not the exact time to whioh I refer.
About a year after tho battle was fought
my regiment wae ordered out into the
neighborhood of the same old field. We
went over the very same ground, and
there in tho open field, exposed to the
torrid sun, were bleaching the bones of
our comrades who fell in that awful en
gagement. It was a sight I shall never
forget. On every side lay a waste of
skulls—skulls of almost every shape and
size—a modem Giolgotha.
"We could not identify them, however,
and could only gaze with a feeling of
sorrow on the aggregate pile of human
heads that had once been full of life and
feeling. After the deeper emotions ex
cited by the spectacle had worn away I
thought of the infinite variety of shapes
that were presented by the heap. There
were no two of the same shape or size,
and it was rather a matter of curioun
though melancholy interest tb inspect
tho different skulks as they lay crum
blinir in the Bultry atmosphere of that
August dayi"—^ttotaConrtitution.
Saved by • Thoughtful Dog.
One evening Mr. W. J. Wilson of King
was leaving Tottenham by the road lead
ing to the west. He must needs, there
fore, croaa tho railroad. In doing so the
horse shied, and Mr. Wilson was thrown
across the track so violently that he was
stunned.
Old Rover, owned by Mr. John Wil
son, bailiff, -was making one of his noc
turnal perambulations through the town
about 1 o'clock—no doubt doing duty as
night watohman. Crossing tho track, he
froticed the unfortunate iiidividnal and
Immediately set out to alarm Mr. O. A.
Nolan, who resides in the nearest house
to the track. Here he barked and whined
until Mrs. Nolan arose to chase him
away, bnt he only returned to continue
his howlings. Mr. Nolan then conceived
the idea that something might probably
about.tho mill, as Rover often
visited them there during tho day and
was well acquainted with the premises.
He immediately dressed, wrent outside
and fonnd the dog ready to lead toward
the mill. Their way led across the track,
but when they got that far Rover's
course was directed np the track to
where tho unconscious man lay. When
Mr. Nolan arrived on the scene, he saw
tho cause of tho dog's trouble and took
the pnforttmate man to his house, where,
with good care and proper attention, ho
revived. In half an hour a freight train
went thundering by.—Cor. Toronto Mail.
English Field Sports.
The matter of wir,e fencing ani the
rindrod Hifflculty of dealing with im
nenee fields of horsemen are so often
thrashed out in the papers devoted to
field sports that it is not necessary to
enter into them here. Masters of hounds
are now willing to pay for taking up
wire before the hunting season begins,
and to put it down again in the spring.
The difficulties caused by large fields
will have somehow to be overcome,
either by ceasing; to advertise meets or
by making it understood (how, perhaps,
it is not very easy to say) that those who
come out will have to pay for their
sport, an idea which, whilo it is com
monly acted open by residents, is often
overlooked by visitors.
Field sports in the British islands are
for the most part artificial, but hunting
is entirely so. If it was not for the ten
der care which, in England at any rate,
is taken of the fox, he would soon become
as extinct as the wolf. Coverts are plant
ed for him on dry sunny hillsides; his
breed is improved by jndicions crossing
with strangers from the north, and in a
good hunting country keepers are sup
posed at any rate to look after his com
fort and to consider him almost as much
belonging to their family as do their
pheasants. In a district which is suita
ble in every way for game, but which is
not preserved, it is always exceedingly
scarce.—Maomillan's Magazine.

PLEASE.
IT IS ASTONISHING what a large
number of people In Southern Cali
fornia I have so simply and easily
cured, without a single failure, and
at trifling expense, who have suf
fered in all stages of
Catarrh, Dyspepsia and Constipation
By my method of 3are without medi
cine. I will gaa-antee an absolute
cure of the moststubborn forms of ihesa
conditions, WITHOUT ItaDICINK, be
cause my onre aots upon the corriot
principle, viz., through ttte nutritive
(dtgoitive) and nervous system. No man
can cure catarrh fc*/ looal applications;
it's a delusion to think so. Get at tha
bottom facts—cure it by utterly destroy
ing the nastp gases arising from decom
posing articles of diet, producing nasty
breath, nasty mucous, natty blood,
dirty tongne, nupleasant seniations
whilst eating In doing this you not
only cure Catarrh, but also Dyspepsia
and Ooastipatlon, upon which Catarrh
largely depends. My Malto Gluten Food
WILL do it. It is perfect, pleasing, en
joyable even to the most delicate, aad
positive lv results Advloe freely given
at office or by letter. Very man' valua
ble recommendations of cures made in
this and other cities, whioh all are wel
come to see.
