Mexican student troubles,

CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. l9.-The stu
dents at the National Preparatory School
are trying to create trouble because of
the failure of their attempt to force Prof.
Justlo Surria from his chair in that insti-
tuition. AS a member of Congress he fa-
vored an arrangement of the English debt
in November, and they now refuse Ia
study under him. The Professor was as.
saulted to-day in school, whereupon
students were arrested. To prevent fur.
ther trouble the city police force was
doubled to-day, and the streets were
patrOlled.

The High waters in Louisiana

ALEAANDRIA, La, Jan. 19-Capt.
SinnOtt, of the steamer Jessie K. Bell,
reports that the whole river front of
Avoyelles parish, Red river, is under
water. Freight for Wares landing had
to be put off at Barbins' and it was thought
certain that the place would be under
water tonight. The levee broke last
night at SlOcOmb, nine miles below Alex
andria. The river, as measured on the
government gauge at Alexandra, lacks
only eighteen inches of the highest point
reached last year.

THE CAUSE OF THE SCARE.

The Spanish Minister on Friday last
called the attention Of the Secretary of
War to information which had reached
him regarding a fillibustering expedition
from the coast of Florida destined for
Cuba, and requested prompt action on
the part of our authorities. The Secre-
tary Of State at once communicated with
the Secretary Of the Treasury and the
Secretary of the Navy. The former
on Saturday sent telegraphic orders
to the commander of the revenue cutter
at Key West to report to the Collector of
Customs, who was instructed also to be
on the alert and prevent the sailing of
any expedition. For some reason the
Spanish legation here seem extremely
anxious about the matter and are more
concerned about the violation of our laws
than our own officials, who are not dis
posed to believe there is just cause for
any great uneasiness.

FLOODS IN THE MISSISSIPPI.

Lsvees in Danger and Planters at Work
on Them With Large Forces.
VICKsBURG, MISS, Jan. 19.-Much un-
easiness continues to be felt by planters
in Madison parish, Louisiana, regarding
the condition of Milliken's Bend levee.
Planters have taken charge of the levees
and have a large force on them. The con-
tractors who were rebuilding the levee
through Lewis swamp, in this State, have
abandoned their work on account of the
high water. This will cause great damage
to the Louisville, New Orleans and Texas
Railway between here and Memphis, and
also to ValUOble lands in COhama, Bolivar.

GEN. GRA NTs PENsIoNINC.
How Yesterdays Effort to Pass the Re

HOW Yesterday : Effort to Pass the Re
tirement Bill was Defeated.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. - Nearly
two hours were wasted in the House this
afternoon in flibustering against the
Grant retirement bill, and the House
finally adjourned without reading it.
Feeling is general among those who de-
sire to see Gen. Grant placed on the re-
tired list, that on account of the combined
opposition of his enemies and those whose
views upon the Presidents prerogatives
differ with those of the Military Commit
tee, that the necessary twO-thirds vote to
PasS the bill could not have been secured.
1t is the intention to attempt its passage
on one of the private bill days"
If this fails another attempt
will be made to suspend the
rules next month.
Among army men there is a great deal
of eager curiosity to see Gen. Grants
article on ''ShilOh," which will appear in
the Century Tomorrow. 1t is expected
that Gen. Grants account of the most IN
teresting battle will be more reliable than
any that has been written, unless, as
feared, Gen. Badeau has been allowed to
influence the judgment Of the writer.

A LONG TRIP FOR A PIrTANCE.
Emigrant Rates from New York to Chi
cagO Reduced to ST.

Emigrant Rates from New York to Chi
cagO Reduced to ST..
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 19.-The principal
reason assigned by the passenger depart
ment of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany for the sweeping reduction in emf
grant rates is the fact that other parties
in the pool had reduced the price of
secOnd-class tickets below the emigrant
fare. An official said to-day: "Other
roads have taken the emigrant bust
ness into their own hands with
out reference to our interests.
The contest for emigrant business
was carried to such an extent that on
Wednesday last the others in the pool
held a meeting and agreed to make the
emigrant rate to Chicago as low as the
second class rate $751; and this was
quoted in Castle Garden. The effect was to
ticket through emigrant business as sec
Ond class business, and the pool was thus
robbed of considerable money. The first
intimatiOn we had of this reduction was
in a cable from Liverpool, stating that a
lower rate was quoted in Europe. This
was on Friday, and the same day we re-
ceived the commissioners report of a
meeting, and we decided to take vigorous
measures at once. 1t is scarcely prob
able that the second class rate will get
below our emigrant rate of 81. First
class rates West-bOund are still firmly
maintained by us.
THE SITUATION IN NEW YORK.
NEW YORK. Jan. 19.-The Red Star
Steamship Line issued a circular to-day
to its agents giving the rate from Ant
werp to New York and vice versa at $40,
with 81 commission. The Carr Line is
also selling tickets at $40. The Cunard,
Anchor and English lines still adhere to
the Sl5 rate for steerage passengers.
MIR. Abbott, of the Erie Road said to-
day that the Erie Railway would not
meet the cut in rates of 81 to Chicago by
the Pennsylvania railway. The other
roads nOminally still adhere to the rates
of Saturday.
Each of the $50 immigrants arriving by
the White Star steamship Britannia was
handed as he landed to-day $13 on each
ticket to Chicago, and was directed by
the agent of the company to buy a new
ticket for 81, much to the delight of the
immigrants.
