SOCIALISM IN GERMANY.
Members of the Reichstag Prote
Against CIassinp- IL with A,,a,.o1,-

Members of the Reichstag Protest
Against Chasing it with Anarchy.
BERLIN, March 20.-In the debate on
the anti-SOcialist law in the Reichstag
to-day, Herr Hasenclever and Herr Bebel
protested against the Identification of
Anarchists with Socialists. They said
that the law had not injured the Socialists.
that its application only exasperated
them. DR.. Marquardsen in the name of
the National Liberals declared in favor OF
the bill.
Herr Won Puttkamer, the Prussian Min
lister of the Interior, said that he hoped
that the social reform already begun
would bring the masses to their senses
that the abrogatiOn of the law was now
less than ever advisable, as it protected
Germany against the dangerous excesses
with which most countries were afflicted.
referring to the aims of the Socialists
as declared by Herren Liebknecht, VOll-
mar and Bebel, Herr Puttkammer said:
Who dares deny that there is danger. or
aihrm that strong measures are unnecessary? ?
The views which Herr Bebel expresses here
are brntally taught elsewhere. Revolution is
the final object. weapon is demanded for a
short time to defeat Socialism, and must be
furnished.
Herr Windthorst moved that the bill be
referred is the committee. He hoped that
the first result of the restored health of
Prince Bismarck would be the complete
return of Prussia to her former Chris
tian manner of thought.
Prince Bismarck declared that the ma
jOrity's want of confidence compelled the
government to ask that the law be pro-
longed for two years, not only as a regres-
slve policy, but as positive measure for
the benefit of the working men as pro-
posed in the imperial message of 1881 to
cure social evils. 1t was impossible to
abandon preventive measures. The Pro-
gressist press promoted the objects of the
Socialistic press in rendering the aims of
the government odiOus by exciting the
worklngmen against the new social poll
cy. The Reichstag then adjourned.

PROPOSED LEGISLATION.

Representative Budd's Bill TO Prohibit
the Importation and Sale of Opium.
A bill was introduced in the House bv
Representative Budd Monday to prohibit
the importation and sale of opium. 1t
reel tes that the habit Of opium smoking
mdng the people of the United States
is spreading with frightful rapidity
under the fostering care of the Chi
nese; that the importation of opium
has increased from 81, ,075 pounds in 1881
to 295, l52 pounds in the year ended June.
1883, and 1t Is now proposed to reduce the
duty thereon 20 per cent; that the habit
of smoking opium, once acquired, cannot
be overcome. and its victims Will not live
in any place where the drug cannot
be procured, and that nearly 80 per
cent. of our Chinese population are
slaves TO the opium pipe, and the cessa-
tiOn of the importation of the drug would
cause large exodus Of that people. The
bill provides that the importation of
opium, except the aqueous extracts
for medicinal use and tinctures.
shall be prohibited under pen,
atty of fine and Imprisonment, and
the sellers, or those who knowingly aid
or abet its importation or sale, shall upon
conviction be punished by a fine not ex-
ceeding $4,000 and imprisonment not ex-
ceeding five years. The opium imported,
sold or offered for sale shall be declared
forfeited TO the government and DESTROY
ed. Severe penalties are provided for the
cOncealment Of or connivance at VIOLA
tiOn Of the act by government officials.

SATARTIA UNDER WATER.
THE PEOPLE FLEEING TO THE
HILLS FOR SAFETY.

Four Feet of Water in the Streets-Hun-
dreds Working Might and Main to Save
the Threatened Levess-Roats to be
Fired Upon Unless They Keep Well
Away.
YICKsBURG, March 2O.-The water rose
inches at Satartia to-day, and is now
feet deep in the streets. The inhabitants
are moving to the hills. The water is
within inches of the top of the Hard
Times levee, and all boats are requested
to run slow and as far from il as possible
while passing there. The citizens are
working day and night, and say that if
boats persist in running close TO the
works they will be fired into. The water
at Greenville, after having fallen IA
inches, came to stand to-day.
THE WATER FALLING IN SOME PLACES
AND RISING IN OTHERS.
NEW ORLEANS, March 2O.-The river
here has fallen , inches. At Nicksburg it
has risen 8 inches.
A dispatch from Nicksburg says that
the steamer Headlight, from Clarksdale,
on the Sunt1Ower river, $50 miles above
here, reports that the water there has
reached 4 inches higher than ever before
known, but 1t is now falling. The water
is rising rapidly at Hard Times, and is
hOW MltnlH q IncneS Oh the top SACKS. y
rise OF few more inches will certainly
cause break at that point. There is no
break at Milliken's Bend, but the wateris
running over the levee. There is great
demand for boats and barges to remove
stock from the oyerflowed sections. The
general impression here is that the rise
will equal that of 1882.
y dispatch reports that the creyasse at
Mulatto Point is now $50 feet wide. The
country in the rear of the levee is a wild
waste OF water. Other levees are being
raised, and the authorities believe that
the break can be closed. A large force of
men is at work.
MANY LEVEES IN DANGER
NEW ORLEANS, March 81, , A. NJ
Many important leYees between Vicks-
burg and Baton Rouge are in imminent
danger. Great efforts are being made by
the Federal, State and parochial authori-
ties and the people to prevent further
breach and hold the leYees now standing.
A dispatch from Bayou Sara says that the
people are rejOiced that the United States
government has come to their aid, and
hope for speedy relief
Maj. StickneY, of the United States En-
glneer Corps, has ordered the employment
OF the necessary force to protect the
threatened points.

but Quickly Recovered.

n DEOktE SatCnGls OF GOiu. stolen,
but Quickly Recovered.
Paul Schmellick, a broker, residing at
No. PIG Aubrey place, this city, says the
Philadelphia Record Of the 10Th inst, had
an exciting experience at Wilmington on
Monday night, owing to a bold attempt
made by two men to rob him of satchel
containing nearly $4,000. Mr.. Schmellick
visited Baltimore on Monday morning for
the purpose of procuring 81, 100 in 81 gold
pieces and 81 600 in other kinds of gold
coin for the purpose of using the same in

Mr.. Schmellick obtained the money at
the United States sub-Treasury in Balti
more. He says he remembered seeing
two men watching him closely upon Ieay-
ing the sub-Treasury, but took no partic-
ular notice Of the mems actions at the
time. When he boarded the train at the
Baltimore depot for Philadelphia the men
tapped on the window pane of the car to
attract Schmellick's attention, and in
formed him that he had left parcel at his
hotel. The latter, knowing this was false,
told the men to mind their own business.
lie did not see any more Of them until the
train stopped at Wilmington about 6:45
p. m. At that place Mr.. Schmellick arose
from his seat to get a drink of water,
leaving the Satcnel containing the money
lying on the seat under an OyercOat. No
sooner had Mr.. Schmellick left than one
of the strange men walked rapidly down
the aisle from the forward part of the
car and, lifting up>a window, threw the
satchel out on the side of the
track. By this time the train
had started moving. The thief ran to
the front platform and jumped off. and
Mr.. Schmellick, who had witnessed the
bold attempt to rob him, leaped from the
rear platform and fell upon the thief.
They struggled in the dark for few mo-
ments, and then Mr.. Schmellick drew his
revolver, which he discharged four times
at his opponent. Only one shot seemed
to take effect, and then the thief effected
his escape.
Mr.. Schmellick ran back to the station,
and was surprised to find that railroad
employe had picked up the satchel when
it was thrown from the car, the confeder-
ate not being quick enough to secure the
plunder. The fellow had run away whea
he discovered that his plans had been
fOiled. Mr.. Schmellick secured his satchel
and carefully guarded it until his arrival
at the Broad Street Station.
