And while am not sentencing you for
these other crimes, it is probable that
you will never be prosecuted for any of
them, and it is right that should take
into consideration to some extent, their
commission, aside from these crimes of
which you have been proven guilty. 1
cannot, therefore, give you the minimum
punishment, neither do / expect TO give
you the maximum punishment. To give
you anything like the extreme penalty
of the law would be to close your life
within the walls of the penitentiary to
which you are about to go, and l do
not desire to do that. After your SEN
tence has expired l hope that you will
still have a little time in which to show
to the world that you have repented of
these crimes of which you have been
guilty, and to repair to some extent, if
possible, the life which you have
blasted.

DEEP SNOW In APRIL.

Great Britain Experiences Fierce Biz
zard-Telegrnph Wires Prostrnted.
LONDON, April lS.-Britons have good
reason to grumble ut the weather now
prevailing. People were beginning to
congratulate themselves upon an early
spring, when suddenly there was
change in the temperature and
mid-winter weather again set in. Snow
storms prevailed throughout the length
and width of the kingdom, and the
budding trees and sprouting crops were
much damaged. The telegraph service
throughout the country was disorganized
by the breaking down Of wires beneath
the weight of the sleet that formed on
them, and poles were blown down in
every direction. Many towns were and
are completely isolated by the heavy
drifts and are disbarred from commu
nication with the outside world by the
destruction of the telegraph lines.
II tho county of Essex, the Stour,
Blackwater, Lea, Koding and other riv-
ers have been swelled to an abnormal
height by tho storms, and in many
pluCcS INC country iS IootGd. III SoiiiC
parts the situation is serious. The
Joss incurred by farmers and
fruit growers will be very great owing to
the vegetables being either washed out
of the ground or killed by the frost.
Fruit trees that were budding and CIV
ing promise of an abundant yield arc
now hlackened and will yield nothing.
Great damage has been done to the
crops III the Channel Islands. On the
Island of Jersey, where snow and frost
are rare, the weather has been
phenomenally cold. In many
places the ground is covered with
snow foot deep. In some parts Of the
country the storms have been rs severe
ns any that occurred during the winter
regular billiards. in fact The
meteorological observations show that
the storm now prevailing Is
travelling in northwesterly direction,
and dispatches announce that it Is be"
ginning to be felt in the Baltic. A
heavy snow storm rs raging to-day in
North Wales and Cheshire.
Dispatches from Paris and places in
the north Of France state that hail and
sleet are falling and the weather is bit
terly cold. 1t is feared that much dana
age will be done 10 the early crops.

A WAR FOR TREASURE.

Secret OF Frances Movement ON the Da-
honey Capltnl-NIillions of Gold.
LONDON, April lS.-The Globe to-day
publishes !. letter from correspondent
who. the paper says, is we'll informed
as to the matter upon which he
writes, giving an explanation
of the preparations now being
made by France for a war
upon Dahomey. 1t will be noticed,
howe yer, that this letter does not bear
out the semi otlicial statements hereto
fore made, that France has no inten-
ton whatever of conducting military
operations in the interior of Dahomey,
combining herself solely to defending
her possessions is the Blight of Bon,
Porto Novo and kotono.
The Globes correspondent says that
it is believed on good grounds that an
immense treasure, the accumulation OF
upwards of two centuries, is buried in
Abomey, the capital of Dahomey. AL
lowing largely for exaggerations, this
treasure, the writer declares, is said
to be worth sum equiva-
lent to 500,O0O,0Go francs. 1t is
known that the successive kings of Da-
honey have buried vast quantities of
bullion within the precincts of the pal
ace in number of large pits, ten or
more of which are said to contain gold
and silver to the amount of several mil
lions of francs each.
Authentic reports of the existence of
this treasure reached the French
through missionaries and traders, and
this readily accounts for the eagerness
displayed by the French to capture
Abomey. The attempt, the correspond
ent says, has been postponed for vari-
GUS reasons, but now that the French
Senate and Chamber of Deputies have
voted a credit for the purpose, prepa-
rations will be made in earnest for Il
march on Dahomey. The Frence par
lament Il few days ago voted over
5000, 900 francs for the purpose of send
ing reinforcements to Porto Novo, and
orders were issued by the minister of
marine for Il French cruiser at Monte
vldeo to at once proceed to the Gold
Coast and join the warship already
there. Troops were ordered to pro-
coed from st. Louis, Senegal, to rein
force the garrison at Porto Novo, and
much activity was displayed in military
circles.
An air of probability is given to the
Globe correspondents statement by the
fact that although King Behanzin and
his forces, who were said to be threat
ening the French settlements, had with
drawn northward, there was no cessa
ton of the military preparations, and
they are now being pushed forward
with all possible speed. 1t may
be that tho French magma
ton has been excited by the
stories of the vast treasures in the Da-
homevan capital, and that under pre-
tense Of Furnishing King Behanzin tor
his many crimes against civilization,
particularly the, slave-hunting raids,
France will seize upon it, and at the
same time cut short the career of an
absolute despot, whose murders of help
less victims cry aloud for VENGEANCE.

night. The Hartwell levee, which pro-
tected several thousand acses of farming
land, mostly planted in wheat, broke,
and the whole country is now under

the streams are submerged, which

which was several acres in extent, also
