CHIEF ARTHUR IN DANGER.

 CHICAGO, March S.-The arrest of Chief Arthur under the recent conspiracy law is not improbable. His movements and ex- pressions are rigidly scrutinized to find something on which to base an affidavit the strikers believe. Perkins disapproves the course taken by General Manager Stone and thinks he should be asked to resign.

 The stock market this morning was moder- ately active and irregular. The opening was weak and prices declined 14 to A per cent. in the early trading, the result of selling by foreign holders, caused by the pTecarious condition of the health of the German emperor. After the first call, however, there was steadier feeling. caused by more support and e bidding up of some of the leading stocks St. Paul was about the strongest, advancing IS per cent Nearly one-quarter of the whole mornings business was in that stock alone. Reading. Lackawanna and Louisville and Nashville were all very active. At noon the advance ranged from 1s to lH per cent. as compared with last nights figures. The market continued firm up to 1 o'clock, but after that hour the mornings advance was moro than lost The decline in the last hour ranged from H to 9 per cent. and the market closed that much lower than the prices current last night.

THE IMMIGRATION MOVEMENT.
In another place in to-day's issue OF
The GAZETTE will be found suggestion
for calling another immigration conven-
ton. The letter in which this suggestion
is made plainly states some facts which
are patent to every man in the state.
The state immigration board has done
practically nothing, and the convention
at Dallas practically did nothing to pro
vide means for doing anything. TIE es.
sentisl purpose Of the convention
was to advertise Texas, and
the convention made no provis-
ion for funds necessary to place the ad-
vsntages of the state before the world.
The railroads have done all they prom
ised to do, but the people talked and,
with some few exceptions. failed to act
IS they talked.
In plain English, the immigration
movement in Texas has accomplished but
very little, and has been redeemed from
utter failure only by The efforts Of John
Howard and the people OF few
counties. II the people Of the state real
ly wish to inaugurate 8 movement that
will bring people and capital into Texas
they mus. provide money to pay for sd-
vertising Texas, and whether this can be
done through another convention or not
is for the people themselves to say.

dividuais desire to purchase property
that will prove losing Investment
II the city has lost money in the past
where is the evidence that 1t will lose
money under . competent administration
Of the servicel Where is the evidence
that 1t will lose money in the future, when
the population ia daily increasing?
What is the force of the argument that
the city will be compelled to expend
money to improve the service by
the extension of mains, in the purchase
Of new machinery, etc ? Fort Worth
shords some very notable instances ct
merchants who have been compelled to
increase their stocks and enlarge their
buildings to accommodate 8 growing
trade.
The waterworks service Is now superior
to that Of the gas service, and the people
OF Fort Worth should ponder well the
facts connected with the past waterworks
management, rs we'll As the steady
growth Of the city, before they surrender
the control of their water supply to .
private ownership and control, which
would be under NO obligation 20 reduce
the water rate to the people, no matter
how profitable the works might become
In time.

The following are the publications
which are supposed to have led to the
difficulty:
The New Mississippiau Of March 81,
abiding to the Hamilton trial, then In
progress in Brandon, said In effect:
General Writ Adams, a witness for the
defense, testified IS to Hsmilton's char.
ac.er. The General ought to remember
that character. like chariy, should begin
at home."
Again on April 8: "Nell!e Dinkins'
testimony for the state has been I'm
peached. but she has this advantage OF
General Writ Adams, witness for the
defense; she never gave certihcsses ano
was forced, after they had been published
. year, to admit they were utterly false"
And again to day: "Psople who do
not receive the New Mississippian regu-
larly will please remember that since we
exposed the obliquily of General Witt
Certificate Adams he posto tfice is endea-
voring to wreak Its spite against this
paper in every possible way. This paper
has to be in the postoffice about half an
hour sooner than the Republican paper
here, or it Is made to lie over Tor another

THE JACKSON TRAGEDY.

Every citizen of New Orleans will lear
with deep sorrow Of the killing In Jack
son yesterday of General Writ Adams,
one OF the most illustriOus citiz Ems q
Mississippi. No Mississlppian Was bet
ter known here than General Adams; he
was fteQuent visitor to this city; was
the ambassador sent by our sister
state OF Mississippi to induce Louis.
isua to loln II in the Confeoeracy.
MANY Louisianiaps served In his gall
liant command during the war, and few
men outside of Louisians were so united
by many bonds to it and its peo-
pie. Al man of honor and coursge, pub
lie spirited, determined and active, Cen
ersl Adams had proved q valuable citizen
OF Mississippi during the many years he
resided there and served 1t.
OF Mr.. Martin, the editor Of the New
Mississippian, we know but little, but it
is lsmentable to reflect that in that des-
perate and bloody Iencounter yesterday
in the streets of jackson the lives Of two
of Mississippi's sons we're brought to q
sudden, unnatural and awful close, while
o-day the entire country stands sghast
at the dreadful story.
Is it not time to call hslt? Is it not
this most sad and deporaole tragedy,
aud while the air is yet Fl led with the
deepairing cries from hearts that have
been crushed by this heavy blow, to stop
and seriously reflect upon the meaning OF
those frequent tragic occurrences In the
south? There can be no question that
such deeds shock the civilization OF the
century, and the people Of the whole
south are, in . measure, brought to the
bar Of public opinion and held RESPONSE
BILE.
There can be no DOUBT about the man
hood, the courage, the high sense ofhonor
of southern men; they have demonstrated
their gallantry upon many hard-fOught
battle fields, and they have shown o reso-
lutte and noble manhood In the manner in
which they faced and overcane calamity
that might have appalled, the bravest men
on earth, but they have yet to cultivate q
deeper reverence for the law, more pro-
found regard for human life.
1t is the duty Of the press Of the whole
south to take up this question and preach
the doctrine of the supremacy OF the law
and to discountenance the resort to The
revolver in the settlement OF disputes
between Individuals.
There have been too many, far too
many, Of these killings in Louisiana, in
Miss ssippi and in other southern states,
shd the time has come when stop should
be put to 1t. The press should lead IN q
CRUSADE against q practice that has done
much to retsrd the advancement OF the
GDuth and which has filed Cur fair lanc
with mourning.
