large number Of hands and carts
in conveying it from the hills
around and about lower St. Fran
cisyille.
Tuesday ut about 8 o'clock a.
IN. 4, an excitement was created by
tho announcement that the new
levee, recently built ON Point strt
was in precarious condition, and
many people, of both towns, were
attracted to the spot.
Active measures were taken in
stantly however, under the efici-
cient direction of Mr.. j. f. Irvine

It is the dream of the socialists

IN human nature to maintain such

truth wh,ch has been thoroughly

tlnt people are not equal IN any

be rich and poor people side by

have the gift of gathering and

The Effort tOsSccurc u State
Militia.

Militia.
The inilitiu bill. which w:s in
PRODUCED in the State Senate by
Mr.. Lcevert, of Orleans, immcdi-
atcly after the opening OF the scs-
sion, was finally passed by that no.
dy during the past week and will
now go to the House, where it
will probably encounter little OPP
position.
The bill as passed by the Senate
contains but few features that
differ materially from the militia
laws as they now stand on the
statue books, the only important
change being the provision for
bidding Independent military COM
mands parad,ny or drilling without
the permission of the Governor.
Certain military bodies III this
city, notable the Washington Al
tillery and the Continental Guards,
are, hover. exempted from THIS
provision of the law.
While the bill rs passed by the
Senate is Il good enough measure
in it's way, it actually holds out no
induccmcnt to attract young men
to the military service of the
State. 1t docs not allow the, cx-
cmpt,on from jury duty of the ac-
tive members OF the National
Guard us former militia laws pro-
vidcd, nor does it make any men
ton of privileges or advantages
calculated 10 induce existing indie
pendent military commands to en-
ter the National Guard.
Unless the State can afford to
appropriate annually moderate
amount of money to defray the
ABSOLUTELY necessary expenses of
maintaining Il militia force all cf-
forts to build up such body will
be useless. No matter how will
ing members of military COM
mandr may be to provide their
own uniforms and pay dues for
the support oftheir organizations,
they connot be expected to fur
nish armorics and military equip
ments, pay the expense of militia
nv reviews and musters or the
cost of camps Of military instruc-
ton which are absolutely needed
from time to time to train the mi-
litia in some of the most essential
duties OF military service.
The Picayunc has often pointed
out editorially the importance to
the good order of the state of
II proper force. Past experience
has demonstrated that such force
may be needed at any moment,
and that without it occasions may
arise when it would be found i'm
possible to compel obedience to
the laws of the State. 1t IS not
necessary that there should be a
large force, but what there is OF
it should be we'll equipped, well
drilled and properly Differed,
while, moreover, legitimate en-
penses should be met by the
State itself.
Other States are able to main
tain splendid military establish
mcnts, but they take care to APP.
propriate annually adequate sums
of money for their National Gsarc
and by making the service attrac-
tive they are able to keep the
ranks full Of the very best militia
ny material. Until Louisiana car
afford TO initiate her sister States
in the matter of supporting mi
litia force, it is useless to expect
volunteers to enroll themselves in
the State National Guard or the
independent commands already
organized to muster into tho
State service.-Picayune.

CANADIAN CANAL TOLLS.
The President Sends Message to the Senate
Upon That Subject.

WAsHIN6ToE, July 1.-The president to-
day sent TO the Senate message upon the
subject Of Canadian canal tolls, together
with q communication from Herbert, act
ing representative of the British govern
ment, and the memorandum prepared by
Adee, second assistant secretary Of state,
upon the same subject. The president says:
1.-THE position taken by this government
hat canal tells and regulations are in VIC
Iation OF our treaty with Great Britain Is
not shaken, but rather confirmed. Tnere
cen De no doubt that serious discrimination
against our citizens and commerce exist,
and quite as little doubt that the discrim-
ination is not an accident, but purpose OF
the Canadian regulations 1t does not
seem to me that this is case in which we
should yield to the suggestion for further
concessions on the part OF the United
States with view OF securing treaty
rights for which consideration IS already
given.p
Herbert, in a note, expresses the desire
CT the dominion TO retain friendly relations
with this government, and says they are
willing to meet the views so far as is con-
sistent with the dominion's position and
the interests of its people. In view of the
same arrangement submitted according the
same treatment 10 tne cltlZ5ns OF Tue
United States regarding navigation OF the
Welland and St. Lawrence canals, the
i'm position OF tolls and granting rebates
thereon, as are given to subjects Of her
Majesty without regard to ports Of tran
shipment or export. and that the United
States will continue to deal in like
manner with subjects Of her Britannia
Majesty in the use of the Salt St-Marie
canal; that the provisions of Article 80 OF
the treaty of Washington, granting carry
ing powers to vessels belonging to subjects
of her Britannia Majesty, as described in
the article. be restored.
Adee's statement reviews in detail the
statements and opinions Of the Canadian
government The rebate OF canal tolls, he
says, is merely an instrument to favor ex-
port trade from Canadian ports. CoEclud-
! ing, Adee holds the Canadians reply as
wholly failing to meet the just complaints
of the United States.

NEW YORK, July lone of the most
notable weddings for some months, that of
Miss Daisy Stevens, one Of the 400" and
Mr.. Frederick H Alien, who leads Ward
McAllister's list OF $50, took place at noon
yesterday at the Church of the Trsnsfgur-
alton. The s'little church around the
cornern was as picturesque as ever. The
pews were moderately well filled with the
friends of the couple. Many pretty light
summer toilets were worn by the women.
The Rev. DR.. Tracy, of the cathedral at
Garden City, and Rev. Thomas n. Nicker-
son, jr., of Patterson, n. j., classmate of
MIR. Allen, were awaiting the bridal party
in the chancel, which had in it some palms
and white roses. AS the bride and her at
tendants passed into the aisle the BRIDE
groom stepped from the vestry-room with
his best man, Mr.. Ralph N. Ellis, and stood
ST the chancel fals.
Miss Stevens was with her father, Mr..

The conferees on the legislative sppro-

early in order that the coDferees on the

There are number of disputed items in

10 agree upon, but the one that is likely TO
give them the most trouble is that
RELATING TO TIE UTAH COMMISSION.
The commission paragraph was reached
at the meeting this morning, but at the re-
quest of Mr.. Dockery of Missouri 1t
was passed over until the next
session, which will probably be tomorrow.
Mr.. Dockery explained to me this even
ing that he desired this postponement of
the Utah matter in order that he might
LOOK INTO THE QUESTION
more closely and give it that careful con-
sideration which its importance demands.
MIR. Deckery impressed me with the belief
that he is entirely satisfied with the para
graph as it stands. In other words, he
seems to think the Senate has made all the
concessions it can be asked to make in
ordering the salaries Of the commission re-
duced, and providing that future vacancies
shall be filled by citizens Of the territory.
However, he may see the matter in diff
ferent light when he looks into it little
closer.
