OVER THE OCEAN

CHICAGO, I'll. March 9-The Citizens
cable letter says that in London public
attention has again been fixed on parlia
ment, and there is every prospect of a
stormy session. Owing to the steady
pressure of the Irish party no progress has
been made with business in the house
1t it now doubtful whether any bill of i'm
portance can reach the second stage
till after the Easter holidays. It is already
prophesied that this session is another
failure. After the Forster debate the most
important event was the discussion of the
distress in Ireland. Irish members of
nearly all sections Joined in the attack on
Spencer's pslicy Parnell showed that
Speneer's plan Of emigration must take
time and in the mean time large numbers
are suffering from hunger.
Trevelyan maintained this position il a
heartless speech. He has gone over to the
castle more rapidly and more complete "
than Foster. Spencer is resolved to force
an investigation. 1t is thought Gladstone's
return may impede this policy. as the anti
Irish section of the cabinet has weakened
and the sign of the times is that Lord
Landsdown, one of the largest land owners
in Ireland has proposed the extension of
the purchase clauses in the land act, de
claring it his conviction that the peasant
ownership is the only practical solution
He was supported by Lords Dunlaven
Waterford and Cowper. Lord Carling
ford, on the part of the government,
pleaded for the only delay. A similar
motion was made in the name of Lord Geo.
Hamilton, son of the Duke of Abrecorn.
in the commons Landlords cannot sell
their land and many are menaced with
ruin. The question is hurrying fast to the
land league solution. Some liberal journals
suggest to Gladstone that he could intro
duce bill this session The Ulster farm
ers are crying out more loudly against the
land act, and are joining in a demand for
ownership.

ST.. LOUIS. March 9.-The prospects are
certainly favorable for a big rise below
here as the flow of water from ST. Francis
river is undiminished. Capt. Thorwegan
of the Chonteau, thinks there will be un-
precedented high water between Vicks-
burg and New Orleans, on account of the
closing of the Bennett Carr crevasse A
bridge and trestle over Cassados lake on
the Iron Mountain railroad one mile west
of here, was discovered TO be ahoat to-
night from back water coming up from the
break in the leYee below here. This will
cut Helena off from railroad communica-
tion. Railroad men say it will be impos-
sible to get trains cut till the water sub
sides.
ST. LOUIS, March "a correspondent
who reached Helena yesterday, from Mem
phis, by the steamer Chateau, gives the
following views of the situation along the
river bank: There are not more than two
or three spots of dry ground between Mem
phis and this point and score of the best
farms in Arkansas and Mississippi are in
a complete state of wreck and most of
them are abandoned, owners and laborers
having fed to higher ground. In many
places cattle are standing in water, which
is overlooking the platforms and almost
every gin house IS filed with colored peo
pie. At Hsrbul landing eighteen colored
men and women in two boats are moored
to a tree on the flooded bar, waiting for
steamship to take them away. There was
not foot of dry land for forty miles
Skiff loads of colored people and their
household goods may be seen at various
points, seeking for ground to rest. At
Sterling colored people, horses and cattle
are indiscriminately huddled in the upper
story Of the only store there. Most of the |
fences and houses along the river banks are
still intact, though many of them have
been floated away At Star landing dwell
ings are full of cattle and gin houses full
of negroes.

the deed.
TREACHERoUs DYNAMITE
PITTsBURG, March "a terrible explo-

death of one man and serious injury of
three others, occurred this morning at
o'clock at Fleming's stone quarry, in Dead
Mans Hollow, near McKeesport. Pa. 1t
appears that Daniel and George Herringer,
Noblegilky and an unknown colored man,
were at work in the quarry, and one of
them attempted to thaw out a can of dyna-
mite used for blasting purposes, which had
frozen. An explosion followed, with
loud report, scattering the Rock and ca rth
in every direction. Daniel Herringer was
killed outright. and George HerrInger and
the eolored man were so badly injured that
they viii die.

TnE WAY IT Is DONE.

Ii was at first alleged that under the
recent agreement the Northern Pacific
Railroad was to receive 500, 600 per an
mum for keeping its tentacles from lay
ing hold of the California and Southern
trade. More recently it il asserted that
instead of a half million dollars per
annum the two other transcontinental
lines have agreed to pay for this pur-
pose six per cent of their gross receipts
on through business. Ii does not make
any especial difference how the agree
ment ia stated. A bonus is to be paid
to prevent competition, and whatever
the sun, may be, ii must be made up by
the patrons of the two southern lines,
and, rs a necessary sequence, eventually
paid by the consumer. Such contracts
should be made illegal. They are in
direct conflict with the principle which
impelled the Government to substitute
the overland railroad lines. No one tx,
poets that the magnates who control the
transportation business of that vast
area lying south of the Oregon line are
going to put their hands into their in
dividual or collective pockets and fork
over any consid rable amount of money
for the privilege of being let alone.
Such is not the habit of those gentle
men. An illustration will serve to fix
the point. Several years ago the off
oials Of the county of Washoe, in Ne
vada, the western county in that State
on the line OF the Central Pacific Rail
road, had the temerlty to disagree with
tue appraisement put upon the property
Of that company within the county
limits by its officers. In brief, they
raised the valuation per mile of
its road-bed thirty three per cent. or
from 5000 to 5000 per mile. The
railroad company refused payment of
its taxes. suit Was brought. the county
WAS victorious, and the Sheriff stopped
the company's trains till it paid the
claim. On different legal points the
case went to the State Supreme Court
three several times, resulting finally in
decision for the people. Meanwhile,
however. the Central Pacific got even"
II raised the tariff largely on every
thing delivered in or exported from
that county. So great and long con-
tinued was this high tariff that it is
variously estimated that the amoant
paid by Western Nevada, including the
cities Of Reno, Carson, Gold Hill and
Virginia and the surrounding country,
in consequence Of the advances in rates.
was from three to six times the iudp.
msnt against the company. They will
offset the recent contract in similar
manner.
