Melikoff's Administration in st. Peters,
burg.
LONDON, March ia dispatch from St.
Petersburg to the News says that everything
tends to show that Melikoff does not depend
entirely on harsh measures to meet the present
emergency. The system of wholesale arrests
practiced last year is discontinued; there are
individual arrests under special circumstances,
but they include nobody of note and no militia
~ officer or court official. The stories pub
Hshed in Vienna are utterly false, nor is there
any foundation for the report of wholesale ar
rests in the provinces. The signs Of the times
are noticeable in the greater freedom of the
press A bi-weekly newspaper, the Sirana,
dwells on the harsh and unsuitable treatment
of the students over whom the Dvorwicks have
The Golos quotes the Sirana's article and
urges that the young men should be treated
with more consideration and that their better
feelings should be appealed to. The streets of
st. Petersburg were thrOnged on Sunday, the
lower classes predominating, and many open.

Since 1875 the Adjutant General and Gen.
Chamberlain have been trying to have the old
law revised so that copies could be printed for
the use of the militia, leaving out certain sec
lions of the old law which had become obso-
lete. At the instance of Mr.. Perry, the Fus-
ion member from Camden, the section in the
bill exempting Shakers, Quakers and Friends
was stricken out, Mr.. Perry showing his igno-
rance of the constitution which he processes to
revere, which provides that this class of nom
cotribatants shall be exempted. The opposition
to the bill came from the Fusion members who
did all in their power to kill it.

Fort Point in Stockton has been repealed.
A law has passed for the punishment of
tramps. 1t provides that if any person goes
about begging or subsisting upon charity it
shall be evidence that he is tramp, and he is
punishable by imprisonment at hard labor in
the State prison not more than fifteen months.
Tramps entering any dwelling house, or kim
ding any fire in the highway or on the land
of another without the consent of the owner
or occupant, or found carrying dangerous
weapons or threatening to do injury to any per-
son or to real or personal estate, shall be pun
lshed by Imprisonment at hard labor in the
State prison not more than two years. ANY
tramp who shall wilfully and maliciously in
Jure any person, or real or personal estate,
shall be punished by Imprisonment at hard
labor in the State prison not more than five
years. Any act of beggary or vagrancy by any
person not a resident of Maine, shall be evil
apprehend tramp and take him before mag
istrate. Authority is given for the appoint
ment of special constables in cities and towns
for the arrest of tramps. The law does not ap-
ply to any female or minor under fourteen
years of age, nor to any blind person. Discre-
ton is given the courts imposing sentence to
sentence for shorter term than one year.
The militia bill passed both branches to-day.
1t has been stated by the Portland Argus that
the bill provided for the enlistment OF five reg
iments which is false. The bill does not make
any changes SO lar as increasing the military
force is concerned over the old law. The sec
ton providing for the annual encampment
was the same as the section in the old law
which has been in force since 1865. The Ar
gus also says that the passage of the bill twill
entail upon the State an expense of $125,0O
the first year, and $4,000 each subsequent
year to comply with its provisions In an
swer to this have to say that the law does not
carry with it so much expense as the old law.
Under the new law the pay of some officers is
reduced. The truth is the expenses under the
| new law will be no more than formerly. The
bill is principally codification of the old law
providing rules and regulations for the gov
eminent of the militia. Copies of the old law

through the canon by sharp zigzags
up the steep mountain range, travels
distance of seven hundred miles to gain
q distance in direct line of one mile and
a.hslf, and in travelling that far gains an as
cent of over one thousand feet, and reaches
what is known as the Kenosha summit, at an
elevation Of 1920 feet, the highest point in
America at which is heard the whistle of the
railway engine. If beautiful scenery is
what man wants, let him go to Colorado
and travel up and down these railroads and
he will be delighted beyond his most san
guine expectations. But all is not told Of
Colorado yet. She is not only rich in her
mineral wealth and in her railroad develop
ments, but she is rich in her coal beds, her
vast iron deposits, and in her manufactures,
and in her pine forests, and last but not
least, in her public free school system. In
every town and city can be seen beautiful
and symmetrical brick and stone school build
ings coDaecrsted to the holy cause of educa
ton. In the little city of Pueblo, Of only
5000 inhabitants, is found two large and
commodious college buildings, one for males
and the other for females. Already she has
her agricultural college and state university
established and in full operation. Seeing
these munitieent endownents by state 50
young in years, was sad and vexed that my
own beloved Texas vas so far behind Colo
RADIO in this particular. Texas has her mil
lions set apart for school purposes, and 4
special university fund amounting to mil
lions, and she is now just beginning to moot
the question of establishing the state universe

and shake off her lethargy and advance apace
with the times. | am now Stopping, for a
time, Mt the ancient Mexican city of Las We
gas, New Mexico and propose at some fu-
ture time to give an account of what have
seen and observed in this territory. But
before | close this | fear alret dy too lengthy
letter, desire to say few words concerning
the early completion Of railroads to Ell Paso.
The Southern Pacific from the west and the
Atchson, Topeka and Santa Fe road from
the east ard north, will both be completed to
that place by the first of January next. It's
the opinion of everybody here that the com
pleton of these two powerful roads, together
with the early advent of the Texas & Pacific
to Ell Paso, to say nothing Of the building of
other roads now projected, will make it a
great city. The eyes of thousands here are
turned thitherward, with view of
commencing with the commencement
of the upbuildi"g Of the future
great interior city of the west
The beauty of it is that this city is TO be
built upon Texas soil, having three different
kinds of government to draw from and to
contribute to her greatness, to.wit; Old ard

Already the place is beginning to feel the eff
fects Of the boom that awaits it in the near

The English Govern m ent.

London, Nov. 23.-The Observer in its
leading ID 'orial says: AS parliament has
not been Immoned to meet on December
I'd, for the dispatch of business, we may
assume that the cabinet are undetermined re-
garding the question Of an early session, and
the policy Of postponing coercion is pos
sible, until the modification of the present
system Of Irish tenures can be tried as q rom.
edy Tor the prevailing agitation and dlscon-
tent, has outweighed, in the Judgement of the
MINISTRY, the arguments which presented
themselves in behalf of immediate action.
The country will not be disposed to complain
of this discomfort. The present copjuncture
is exceedingly favorable for dealing with the
land question, and n concilatory policy
ought not 10 be arrested by the present sus-
pension of civil repeatere but while accept
ing the governments decision IS wise and
stsIesman-,ike, we cannot share the hopes
that any land reform, however comprehan-
slye, cHn possibly obviato the necessity for
coercive Legislation. The desires and aspira-
tons of the Irish national party extend far
beyond any alteration of land tenure they
involve dem nds that are inconsistent with
the British empire. The fact is tsat these
demands are such as Great Britain never
would consent to, except to order that COM
pulsion consistent. 7 here is no reason why
We should not remove any grievance of
which Ireland has 10 contend with; but when
we have done all that legislation can effect,
we must assert the authority OF the law and
the supremacy of union. That such an as
sertion can bo made without more or less
prolonged curiailment of the liberties Of the
Irish people in past experience, although the
Observer is very moderate newspaper.
