MARDI GRAS FESTIVITIES.
Rex and His Royal Re,inue Make Triumphal
March In New Orleans.

Marcn lii New orleans.
New ORLEANS, Feb. 16.-Clear and cool
weather favored the opening of the Mardi
Gras festivities. The arrival and reception
of Rex came off according to programme,
except as to time. His majesty reached the
city hall at noon, when Mayor Guillotte sur
| rendered the keys of the city. The process
sion consisted of infantry, attachments of
marines from the United States flag ship
Tennessee and man-Of-war Gaena, music,
comedy and her followers on vans, trump
eters, heralds, bearers of royal standards,
troop of his maiesty's men-at-arms, and his
majesty Rex attended by the Royal
Continental guards. The procession
moved through the principal streets to the
leyee at the head of Canal street, where the
party embarked on steamers for the EXPOSE
ton. When the procession reached the levee
Il salute of one hundred guns was fired. The
lotilld, consisting of eighteen steamers, got
under way at 2 p. IN. The steamer Richard
son, bearing the King and his attendants,
moved slowly up the river, United States
war vessels Tennessee, Gaena, Yantic and
Alliance firing a salute of twenty-one guns,
and manning the yards as the royal steamer
passed. The shipping in port was decorated
with bunting. Large crowds gathered along
the route OF the procession and levee to wit
ness the departure OF the roval fleet.
Thousands of faithful subjects crowded In at
all the entrance gates to the exposition
grounds, and at noon the attendance ex-
ceeded anything in the history OF the eXposi-
tion. The main tower was crowded with
people, looking down the river eager to catch
sight of the royal fleet. Below, in music hall
and in the institute, the jam was so great To-
comotion was almost impossible. Knowing
the vast ball could not accommodate One-fifth
Of the great crowd that would seek admission,
many persons FASTENED to secure places be-
fore the arrival of the fleet.
The elite Of the city and many distin-
guished visitors attended the reception given
in the afternoon by Commissioner Arnold B.
Chase to Gov. Bourne Of Rhode Island The
reception was held at the New England plat
form in the government building. The gov
ernor and Mrs. Bourne were attended by all
the staff officers in full uniform.

II SUNDAYS GLOBE an article on pro-
gressiye euehre appeared, which is construed
by some OF our Irish fellOw-citizens as re-
lecting on their nationality. The matter
crept in without revision, through an over
sight consequent upon the hurry OF prepar
ing Sundays paper The GLOBE disclaims
any intention of giving ofTense to class of
citizens which has done SO much to make
st. Paul what It is, on the contrary its aim
being to advance the best interests OF the
race in all ways possible.

Special to the Globe.
ST. LOUIS, Mo. Feb. 16.-The truce be-
tween the Vandalia aad competing lines was
of short duration. Last week the Vandalia
claimed that the Bee line, the Wabash and
Ohio Il Mississippi roads, were selling east
ern tickets to brokers at rates below the pool
figures and in consequence that road re
duced the price of first-class tickets TO New
York TO SIG aud to other eastern points cor
respondingly. A meeting of passenger
agents was held and a temporary truce fixed
up to day. The Vandalia road distributed
dodgers throughout the city Offering to sell
tickets to New York for Sl5. The cut was
promptly met by competing lines aud now
the war is raging. Bad faith is charged on
both sides.

James Muir, of the firm of Muir Bros,
railroad tunnel contractors, is stopping ID
the city for few days, and happening in the
way of GLOBE representative he spoke In
free and easy manner on the progression OF
the Canadian Pacific railroad. He said:
The track of the Canadian Pacific is laid to the
mouth of the Beaver river, al the foot
OF the Selkrk range OF the ROCKY
mountains. Seventeen miles west Oh
the first crossing of the Columbia river
grading is all under way, this being the distance
between Beaver and the summit of the Selklrk
mountains Heavy work is under way from the
,ummit to the SEE oAd crossing of the CoumOla,
with is all under contract. This winter the
Jntractors have been busIy engaged transport
ing construction supplies from Beaver, where
they were delivered ny the railroad company, by
horses to the scene of operation. The general
construction is light and goes on rapidly as the
grades ale easy, and if everything continues as
favorably as it has been OF late the whole work
will be completed by Nov. /, 1850.
The Kicking Horse PASS, which is now finished,
was the greatest and most difficult piece OF work
on the line and required the most skillful engi-
neers. My brother and myself had contract OF
two tunnels and three miles to construct on THIS
pass which We tni. he'd last October, and we now
have contract 10 build two tunnels in the SeikirK
range, and some heavy outside work. The TWO
all completed were 335 and $50 feet long respect
lively, and one of those we have now contracted to
bald will be 500 feet long; the other has not
been determined on yet by the engineers.
The grading between Port Arthur and Montreal
viii be completed shortly, and about Nov l
trains will run between Montreal and Victoria
B. c. On the west end Of the line the distance
vet to construct is 270 nj ~
Mr.. Mir speaks very highly of Mr.. Ross SUI
perintendent of construction. He says that IN
this work he has been under many disadvant-
ages, but being man of wonderful nerve, ability
and perseverance, he pushed the work last sea-
son and gave suhcontractors general surprise
in the amount he accompl led.

EDUCATION IN D4KOr4.

When the bill providing for university
in Central Dakota came up as special order
at Bismarck yesterday it was the signal for a
sharp passage between KENNEDY and PETIT
GREW, and piece of parliam eutary legerde-
main on the part of the former, which was
hardly understood. But IN the light of the
explanation offered by Mr.. KENNEDY to an
Associated Press reporter, of his tactics an in
sight may be had on the future of the bill.
Fearing that the measure would fail of a
majority, KENNEDY shrewdly moved TO strike
out the enacting clause with view OF
riderng an appropriation bill with his bill
which would give it a better lease on life.
This bill would seem to be one OF merit, for
with a university at Grand Forks, the capitol
and pententiary at Bismarck and the
deaf and dumb asylum, etc, at Sioux
Falls, and the probabilities of
school of mining at Rapid Chy,it would seem
that Central Dakota is still entitled 10 con-
sideration Oh its claim for university. Be-
side, the great territory could hardly have so
many universities in its wide domain. While
such schools as the university at Grand Forks
have proved they can be maintained In the
territory, ample provisions should b. made
for educating the children of the territory Of
home. With the rare intelligence Of the
people and the advancement in educational
development already made, there is no good
and sufficient reason why full facilities
should not be furnished at home for con-
plete educational equipment In Dakota with
out recourse to the colleges Of the East.

The Grand Forks Herald makes 4 good
point when it shows that the greatest detec-
tive agency in the country Is the Associated
Press. The Herald clearly demonstrates this
point in showing that the murderer OF the
Smell family near that city was apprebended
through the accurate description furnished
through the agency Of the assassin. It was
through the description furnished By the edi-
tor Of the Herald, the local agent Of the asso-
citation. that the criminal was appreheuded at
Anoka. The officers OF the law are grossly
in error when they claim that the press de-
fests the ends Of justice by premature pub
cation OF crimes. or course, there are
isolated cases where premature publication
may give constructive notice 10 a criminal
that the officers Of the law are on his trail
and that the swori OF justice is
suspended menaciugly over his head, hut in
the majority of cases his identity is disclosed,
aud bis presence betrayed by such publica-
ton. Il is noteworthy fact that the erim-
nal classes stand 10 awe OF the press and the
telegraph and that they have more to fear
from these than from the officers OF the law.
