articles on the trade and commerce of the

Among all the recently published transla-
tions from the Russian none will excite
more profound interest than the Crime and
Punishment of Feodor Dostoyeysky. 1t is
a novel of wonderful power, intense realism,
and subtle analysis. A strange and terrible
history of distorted and perverted moral
natures, and of the inevitable penalty which
follows lapse from the accepted standard
of right. Painful as the book is, through it
all shines high moral purpose, and it
proves that its author is one of the most
gifted writer's of this generation, standing
head and shoulders above most of his con-
temporaries. The translation is an excel
lent one New York: Thomas Y. Crow

JACKSON, Miss, March 26.-The Pro-

steps TO inaugurate war on whisky,

Gently enacted by the legislature. A
meeting of their State Executive Com
m:ttee was held here last night to take
steps for prosecuting the contest
throughout the State. An earnest and
eloquent address by the chairman, the
Rev. Chas. b. Galloway, was read and

man has written Republication pro-

dorsed by the committee and recon-
mended as the latest and best author
ity for use in the canvass The fol
lowing resolution was adopted:
ResOited, That our friends in the sew
eral counties of the State who con-
template holding elections during the
spring and summer months, be urged
to organize at once, and communicate
with the chairman or secretary OF the
committee at Brookhaven, Miss, with
view to securing cooperation. The

The House.

The Speaker laid before the House
communities ton from Assistant Sec1e-
tsry of the Treasury Fairchild trans
hitting a draft Of bill to amend the
la " regulating immigration. Referred.
TIE bill exempts from the per capita
tax of so cents transient aiFn tour
lists, and provides a penalty OF 5000
for the permanent landing OF alien
paupers, idiots, infaue and convicls.
The Secretary of the T. easury is given
power to appoint commissioners ct
immigration, net to exceed three in
number, at Boston, New York, Phlls'
delphia, Baltimore, Key West, New
Oiltaus, Galveston and San Francisco,
who shall take exclusive charge and
provide for the support and relief OF
such alien immigrants as may fa'l INTO
distress. In commenting upon this
charge The Assistant Secretary says;
The agents through whom the exist
ing law is accomplished, namely, the
Boards of immigration, are appointed
by State governments, and the De-
partment has no control Of the SCENTS,
except ty contracts which 1t has no
m AL of enforcing. The bill transmit
ted puts the entire charge Of destitute
alien immigrants in the care Of imml-
grafton commissioners, appointed OIL
GERS of the United States, and leaves
them IN no State to the chsTge of State
officers to be treated indiscriminately
with other poor over whom the State
exercises supervision. II the govern
ment takes the care of alien immi-
grants in distress it should not divide
that supervision with State authori-
ties.
Also letter from Assistant Secre-
tary Fairchild, asking for an appro-
pristion for the storage and transpor-
tation of the silver dollar. Referred.
This letter says: SIN view of the fact
that the amount of standard silver
dollars re quired 10 be coined under
existing laws is about 100000 each
year, and that the remaining SPACE
available in the vaults Of the Sub
Treasury offices other than New Or.
leans is not sufficient for the storage OF
the coinage for the ensuing twelve
months, it is deemed advisable and
prudent to ask that suitable appIo'
priation be made to enable the de-
pa1tment to erect vaults in some other
ofthe sub-Tressury offices, leaving
the vault at New Orleans free for the
storage of the accumulation Of the
coinage executed at the mint in that
city,"

and the water rose eight feet in two
hours and began running into the en-

after and flooded the entire lower part
of the city. At present the gorge
holds firm but the river is not rising,
Thus far the damage is slight though
all the houses south of the track have

feet would flood the machinery and

A New Deal for Railroad Men.

After January lst, the Northern
Pacific freight train employees will re-
ceive Nh advance in wages which will
amount to considerable in each month.
Heretofore they have been paid by the
trip at 80 per trip for conductors and
81 for brakemeD; the new order gives
them respectively three cents and two
cents per mile, which on all runs be-
tween Forsyth and Glendive. distance
l23.miles will Le an increase TO conduc-
tors of sixty-nine cents and to brake
men of forty-six cents per trip.
Another important innovation is that
when crew 'dead heads" over the
line; going from one point to another
for duty they will be under pay. which
has not been the case heretofore.
These advances in pay have been made
by the company voluntarily, and de-
serve the notice of those who think

dancers, some thirty couple being
present, among whom were many
faces familiar to those who attend the
Arcadian club dances, and some few

consequently the long programme of
twenty-one dances carried the votaries
of Terpsechore well on toward 3 o'clock
before they had done their full duty.
Shortly after midnight supper was an
noun,ed and the guests were conduct
ed to the spacious basement Of the
hotel, where tables were spread afford
ing seating capacity sufficient to ac-
commodate the entire parry. The
tables were handsomely decorated, the
