st. Lucia News.

Mr.. Chopper of ST. Lucia, in a letter tD
the island newspaper, gives some very
good advice regarding the colony's agri.
culture, which will not be without a hint
to planters i'll Demerara. He says -
Another most important mistake is this.
We spend money on all sorts of fields. /
do not believe that the average yield of
the island per acre is more than II tons,
and [ refuse to believe that some of our
fat soils cannot yield 4 tons. | see lands
under cultivation that cannot give l ton
per acre; yet they are ~ploughed, manured
ami Weeded at a great expense. Is it any
wonder that sugar can't pay All the
profits OF the fat fields are eaten UP by the
lean ones. | knew once a proprietor of
two estates under cane culture. He called
one the cork wood to the other. But he
kept both going. When will the world
see the end Of manias l am decidedly
OF opinion that ii field that does not yield,
in average seasons, at least, 2 tons of
sugar, sn0uld be turned to son other
account. With this as a general practice,
the average of our really wealthy island
would stand easily at % tons an acre,
instead of the paItry I ton.
In concluding his letter he refers to the
practice of sacrificing the pimento trees

wood to make hoe handles for local use
and export, when a monetary return
twenty times rs great could be obtained
if the trees were cultivated for he sake of
the essential oil to be obtained from their
leaveS.-DemerdrG ATgOSy.
The Voice of st. Lucia devotes a leader
to the very interesting historical sketch of
the important position held by ST. Lucia
in the militia. Y history of the West Indies
almost from the date OF its first colonial
tiOn in the middle OF the 18th century, it
having been taken and re-taken by the
French and English no fewer than II
times. Amongst men of note who have
fought under the shadow of its mountains
were the Duke of Kent Queen Victoria's
lather) Earl st. Vincent, Earl of Hope
town, Sir Hugh christian, Sir Ralph
AbercrOmbie, Sir John Moore, who was
Governor of the island for several years,
and Lord Rodney. This last warrior, in a
letter written in 177S, says, from observa-
tons made while he sailed the Caribbean
seas, and from subsequent reflections,
that the infinite Importance of Martinique
or st. Lucia to a maritime power convinc-
ed him that either of these islands i'll the
hands of Great Britain must, while she
remains a great maritime power, make her
Sovereign of the West Indies. The Voice
says that in the face of a possible war
with Russia, ST. Lucia would like to be in
d position to offer her harbour as a haven
of refuge to the British vessels in these
seas; and it strongly urges the greatest
possible activity in the harbour works.
1t MAJ be regarded as certain that In
the event of war being declared with
Russia, both English Harbour in Antigua
and Castrles harbour in ST. Lucia, will
at once be afforded adequate protection
by the West Indian feet. Both these
harbours are so advantageously situated
that they can be properly fortified with
comparatively few guns.-Ibid.

DYNAMITE TALK.
Regular Sunday Meeting of
American Anarchists.
DEFIANCE OF ALL LAW
The Pittsburg PIotters-The London
observation-disclosures
Crazy Republicans.
The American Anarohists.

CHICAGO, February S.-Moderate
Socialists held largely attended meet
ing ON the west side this afternoon.
Speeches were delivered in English and
German, counseling agitation to secure
the adoption of their principles. An
other large meeting was held on the
north side at which moderate Socialists
and Anarchists divided the time in the
discussion. Socialists counseled mod
Grafton and agitation, and Anarchists,
as usual, the use of dynamite, which,
as one speaker remarked, would make
one man equal to a thousand. He
favored defiance of all law.
CLEVELAND, o., February ST. L.
Geger, of 62 Linden street, formerly
agent of the International Working
mems Association of Anarchists, saws
there are four groups of the order in
this city, with 200 members, and many
sympathizers. Two are Bohemian and
two German, a fifth, American, will be
organized tomorrow. He says the
workingmen here are ripe for riot, and
that unless the times improve the great
est revolulon the world has ever seen
will be inaugurated. Socialists are in
creasin : in number here very rapidly.
Geger is a railroad clerk. The present
agent of his group is Franta Sakrid, of
1856 Croton street.
PrrTsBURG, Pa, February s.-The
story that Anarchists were armed and
drilling here and that dynamite was
stored in various parts of the city seems
to have some foundation. In an inter
view with reporter of the Dispatch to-
night, prominent police official stated
that he had reliable information that
dynamite was stored in at least one
place within the city limits and that a
large supply of guns had..lately been re-
ceiYed by Pittsburg Anarchists, which
are thought to have been shipped from
Chicago. The parties having these
arms, he says, are foreigners, not work
ingmen out of employment, but Anar-
chists. Herr Joseph Treck, prominent
socialist, said to reporter in the same
paper, that the Anarchists were armed
in this city and that they had regular
nights for drilling. He said there were
three groups and aboutfour thousand
members in Allegheny County.

The London Dynamiters.

LONDON, FEBRUARY 9.-Further exami-
nationof James Cunningham and Harry
Burton; charged with conspiracy in
causing the explosion at the Tower, be
gan to-day in Bow Street police court
The room was crowded with spectators.
No unusual demonstration was made.
Harry Burton declined the services of
counsel and said he would defend him
self. Poland opened the case for the
Crown. He created sensation by i'm
medlately announcing the withdrawal of
the charge of conspiracy and the sub
stitution of that of high treason-felony
against both prisoners jointly, under a
new indictment. The solicitor proceeded
to state the testimony the Crown would
produce to sustain the charge of high
treason-felony against the prisoners. In
doing this, Poland ;of necessity repeated
the history narrated at the former ex-
of Cunningham and Burton.

word that Colonel Wilson, who, after
failing to reach Khart0um, was stranded
with his entire party on anisland in the

that General Gordon is still alive and

LONDON, February 9.-Before leaving
Gakdul, Colonel Butler, of the Royal
Irish, was instructed by General VOL
seley not to attack the Arabs at Mete-
mneh. Later orders, however, were
sent to-day. to leave Colonel
Butler to act as he thinks
fit The force at Gubat is now
1900 men of whom 1900 are effective.
They have also several guns All the
newspaper correspondents have left
Gubat and are returning to Korti.
General Wolseiey declines to permit
non-combatants to remain at the front.
1t is believed that correspondents will
be stepped from communicating to their
papers. The troops at Gubat were in
good health at last report, very few
being sick.
The Marquis of Salisbury will return
to London from his chateau in France
on Thursday. He has called meeting
of the leading Tories to, consider what
line of action to adopt at the incoming
session of Parliament. The Tories will
support the largest measures of govern
ment to retrieve England's position in
the Soudan, but will move for the ap-
pointment of committees of inquiry
into the responsibility for the dispatch
of the Nile expedition. "a
Gen. Wolseley's friends state that he
undertook the Nile route against his
own opinion, which was in favor of the
Suakim and Berber route, and that gov
eminent, for the purpose of economy,
broke its promise to supply the number
of troops for which he asked.
LONDON, February 9.-Itis understood
that orders have been given to-day for
the dispatch of 10000 troops for the
Soudan.

The snowstorm.

CHICAGO, February 9. = snowstorm
of great violence is raging throughout
a number of eastern and nearly all
western States east of the Rocky Noun
tains. In this city business of all kinds
is nearly suspended. Snow lies to a
great depth in the. streets. The street
cars drawn by horses are moving only
with great difficulty, and freight yards
in railway stations, freight handlers and
train employees are engaged in an at
tempt to clear the tracks Passenger
trains only are attempting to leave. At
the signal station news was rather con-
filcting and confused. This much was
authorized, however: The snowstorm
has come from the south. 1t arose in
the Gulf of Mexico yesterday and has
been travelling little east of north since
The wind was blowing with a We
locity Of twenty miles per hour.
1t has gone far to the northwest, the
weather being especially fierce in all the
lower lake regions from here to Buffalo.
1t has taken its fight to the st. Law
renee region, in nortb-easterly direc-
ton. This morning the storm had not
reached the northern end of Lake
Michigan, neither will it reach as far
northwest as;Dnluth, but take in Wis
'consin. while showing here and all
along the lake region, the storm has
produced rain in the Ohio Valley, this
being SO large a storm, - said the signal
officer, las to include all kinds of
weather in its wake. While showing
fercely in Buffalo, for instance, it is
raining in Pittsburg, but 200 miles
south. The rain extends as far south
as northern Mississippi. The actual
measurement of the snowfall has not
been possible by reason of the excessive
drifting, but at least six inches fell
between the beginning of the storm
last night, and at this morning.
Although the temperature early this
morning was five degrees higher by the
thermometer than yesterday morning,
it is rapidly growing colder, in the
northwest region, especially in
Manitoba and Dakota and Northern
Minnesota. The frigid wave is spread
ing. At Fort Gary last night the mercury
had reached 81 degrees below zero, and
at st. Vincent 80 degrees below. This
excessively cold wave is moving east
ward and may be upon US tonight.
In this city at noon the mercury stood
20 degrees above zero.
CHICAGO, February 9.-The storm
which commenced on Sunday morning,
extends throughout Illinois, Iowa,
Nebraska, Michigan, Indiana, Mime
sofa and Wisconsin. In some respects
it is most remarkable. The thermome-
ter was below zero in certain points in
this State, while at the same time,
100 miles distant, it is raining,
with severe thunder storms. The fall
of snow varies from fourteen inches to
three feet ON the level. All the rail
roads are more or less blockaded, and
in many sections all freight and pas
senger trains abandoned. Tonight the
fall of snow discontinued and the Their
mometer marks from zero to 10 degrees
below.

House.

WASHINGTON. February 9-When the
House met this morning in continuation
of Saturdays session, Townshend
moved to go into committee of the
whole for consideration of the postoffice
appropriation bills.
Willis opposed the motion and argued
that the House should continue con-
sideration of the river and barber BILL
AT 1870 Townshend moved that the
committee rise. Agreed to, 123 to 9S.
After argument the House went into
committee of the whole on the river and
harbor bill.
Horn opposed the provision of the
postal appropriation bill which changed
the method of compromising railroads
for mail transportation Instead of
resulting a saving of $1,500000 to
the government, as stated by
the gentleman from Illinois
(Townshend), it would, in his opinion,
increase the compensation to the rail
road companies. 1t was wrong in
principle and uneven in application,
and would rob poor roads and put an
excess into the pockets of roads which
had already got large amount. The
provision seemed to be based on the
principle that, 10 MIN VINO natn snail
be given and to him that hath not shall
be taken away1even that which he hath. u
Pending further debate, the COM
mittee arose. s" '
A resolution was adopted reserying
the whole of the east gallery of the
House for the accommodation of the
families of Senators and members
during the counting of the electoral
vote on Wednesday next.
The House then took recess until IL
O'Clock tomorrow.

raised by ingalls, on the amendment
proposed by the Senate appropriation
committee TO this bill. - ~ 3
Sherman thought it would be well to
pass, now, resolution expressing for
the present session, at least, the sense
OF the Senate to be, that the true con-
struction of the rule was, that amend
ments may be made to general legisla-
tive measures found by the Senate on
appropriat ton bills. .sni
Edmunds, taking floor, spoke
strongly against opening the door, to
any proposition which would permit
such amendments. There was no EN-
barrassment, he said, involved in the
position of the Senate. f Il~a
Hoar said that if the decision of the
chair was not sustained, the Senate
might as well propose an amendment
to the Constitution, declaring the House
to be the only law-making body. Hoar
did not wish an extra session, but
better an extra session than practice
the attaching of legislation to appro-
priation bills. Hoar. IN abiding to the
failure of the House to consider
the bankruptcy bill, said he did not be-
heve the American people would long
tolerate that one of their legislative
chambers should be fettered by the
rules that made it possible for a dozen
orstwenty men, by methods not in ac-
cordance to the spiritof the Constitution
to prevent the consideration of a meas
ure so urgently demanded by the coun-
try. Az III.
Bayard strongly urged the Senate to
take its stand now for the principle in
corporated in its rule, which, he said,
was the correct principle.
Hale said that if something was not
done to relax the rigor of the Senate
rule as hitherto interpreted, there was
danger that an extra session would be
necessary. Were the senators ready
for that? -Ul'l
PIatt believed the Senate had only to
be firm once. ~.
After debate, the decision of the Chair
was sustained. yeas IS, nays %.
