safe TO say that ia these last years Of the
century the 1Iardi Cfras of New Orleans
affords the most imposing and snowy
annual spectacle that is to be seen in
America.
al most praiseworthy circumstance con-
nacted with these parades is the fact that
no advertising features are allowed. "a
most northern parades the artistic and
fantastic floats are followed by d long
line Of floats furnished by leading bust
ness houses. which vie with each other
ia the attractive advertisement Of their
wares. IL is undoubtedly true that the
rigid exclusion of this feature from the
ALardi Gras displays has had much t0 do
with the general success of the exhibit
ions. Another thing which has con-
,ributed to the success OF the spectacles
from year to year is the effort made to
present something novel in each succeed
az parade. The first year. as has been
stated. the subjects were drawn from

Mardi Gras IS observed in Mobile and
Galveston ais well as at New Orleans.
but nowhere else IT'D America has it OBJ
tanned much foothold The Mardi Cfras
of these cities is an American mOdi-
6catiOn of the carnival of the cities of
southern Europe. On both sides Of the
Atlantic the festivities held just before
the beginningof the Lenten season serve
az a sort of goodbv to good times till aft
eli Easter Indeed the very word scar
nival" (carni-vale) is supposed to signify
farewell to flesh and was applied to
these festivities because no good church
man may eat meat during Lent In all the
carnival cities. whether on the banks of
the Tiber. the Seine or the Mississippi,
one of the chief features of the period is
light hearted gayety. But there are great
differences between the carnival observ-
ances of the old and the new worlds.
In Europe the fun is more sponta-
neous-m0re extemporaneOus, so to
speak-and catered into more for its own
sake than ia America There are ex-
cesses there unheard Of here, and there
is also far less of systemaEzad and inn
posing display.
This latter feature Of the carnival in
New Orleans dates back only to 1852
and is doubtless the result of ENGRAVING
upon the Latin idea Of harlequin frivol-
itv the American benu for organization.
In THE ola days when the creole element
was supreme in the Crescent City, the
last few days before the beginning Of
Lent were celebrated by pr0miscuous
maskers upon the public streets, and
there was much rude fun Of q sort some
what similar to that which characterizes
the Same period abroad

mand made upon him by Governor
Waite he ordered the United States
troops from Fort Logan to 90 to Denver
for the sole purpose of preserving the

The report from General McCook as TO
the conditions in Denver which led him
to bring the troops from Fort Logan to

DENVER, March l6.--Governor Waite
this morning addressed letter to Gen
eral McCook asking that the government
troops be withdrawn from the city, be-
aeuse McCook refused to assist in carry
sng out the governors purposes, but
simply confines himself to maintaining
peace.
This action was taken by the governor
after having held a brief and, it is IN
aerstood, peppery conference with Cen
erai McCNok, in which the latter de-
clined to use United States troops to
assist in seating the governors appoint
ees.
In bis letter to General McCook
the governor said he interpreted Nc
Cocks Offer yesterday to put seven
companies OF federal troops in Denver
TO mean an offer to assist the state to
enforce the law, snd his letter asking
the troops TO be- moved into the city, spe-
cifisd that the object wee to assist the
state troops in the execution OF the law
and prevent boodshed. Finding Nc
Cocks opinion 20 be that be had 10
such right, he wodld withdraw bis re-
quest for troops.
This was taken as an evidence that
the governor had weakened and that
he will soon accept u proposition for a
reasonable compromise.
General McCook did not answer the
letter. He will take no further action
till he hears from Washington. He
SAYS the governor did not specify for
what purpose he wanted the troops.
Judge Graham. who Issued the in
junction restraining the governor from
interfering with the old board, says he
will not sit on tins application Tor a writ
of attachment against the governor
uulees there is some radical change in
the situation.
Leading citizens sent 8 telegram to

urging chat United States troops be
kept here, ae bloody riot is likely if

representing both the Democratic and
Republican sides of the committee on

close Of the committee meeting today
that the bill would be reported to the
senate on ThursdRy. They stated, how
ever, that no agreement 70 this end had
been entered into, but that the tip was
the result of knowledge Of the progress
that had been made upon the bill since
the full committee had been in posses
sion OF it. The entire time of the meet
ing, which continued from 10 o'clock
until this afternoon, was devoted to
that portion relating to the methods of
collecting the revenue in both the tariff
and the internal revenue parts OF the
bill. The work has been practically

WAsHINsToN, March l6.--The house
committee of merchant marine and
fisheries devoted todsy's session to
hearing arguments made by Mr.. Andrew
Furseth OF San Francisco, the secretary
OF the Seamen's union. On the bills
pending before the committee for the
better protection of American seamen.
These bills are six in number and
were introduced by Representative Ma.
guire. Among the more important ques-
tions of legislation wanted by the union
was that requiring shipping masters to
have full crew of men on going to sea,
instead OF departing with less than is
necessary to properly man the ship.
This would enable the sailors
to secure the money due them
much more promptly than now, so that
they will not be left at the mercy OF
boarding house keepers, and 80 that
they may be given wages for the whole
journey if discharged in foreign port
before returning to the country whence
they called. Another bill requires that
shipwrecked seamen be brought back to
the place from whence they departed.

the value to health of the pure liquid

ative; effectnally cleansing the system
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction 60 millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession because it acts OIL the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale BY all drug

in urging early consideration in commit
tee of the territorial admission bills.
He brought the question up at the last
meeting of the senate committee on
territories, end said as considerable time
had elapsed since the Utah and Arizona
bills passed the house and there seemed
to be no objection to the admission Of
Utah on account OF lack OF population
or wealth, or for any other legitimate
cause, he thought the Utah bill should
be st an early time taken up by tho
committee. Faulkner, chairman, re-
piled, reitersting the desire to have
Utah admitted, saying the admission
bill will be taken up in due course, but
that as the tariff bill was to be soon re.
ported to the senate, and would, when
once under discussion in the senate,
necessarily consume almost all the time
of that body, there wss nothing to be
gained by hsste in considering the bill
in committee and reporting it. Hill is
