Electric Bitters.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen
orally needed when the languid, ex-
hausted feeling prevails, when the liver
is torpid and sluggish and the need of a
tonic and alternative is felt. A prompt
use of this medicine has often averted
long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers.
No medicine will act more surely in
counteracting and freeing the system
from the malarial poison. Headache,
Indigestion. Constipation, Dizziness

Special Wire to Sunday Light.
New Orleans, May 1.-The sugar
trust appears to be getting in as much
raw sugar as possible before the
Dingley tariff bill becomes a law. The
trust made millions of dollars by i'm
porting all the sugar it possibly could
before the Wilson bill became opera
tive. Under the Mckinley law raw
sugar was admitted free and as soon
as the trust saw that the Wilson bill
would surely carry a duty it commence
ed rushing sugar into the country.
For some time prior to the passage
of the Wilson bill, steamers were en-
gagged in bringing all sugar possible
from Cuba to New Orleans. So large
was the stock of sugar held by the
trust when the Wilson bill became OPP
erative that no impOrtations to speak
of were made for year afterward,
and it is of record that not a pound of
sugar entered this port during the
eleven months following the passage
of the Wilson bill The trust appears
to be pursuing the same policy now
and if the sugar schedule in the House
bill remains as it is, doubtless the
profits will be much larger. During
the months of November and Decem-
Der no sugar was imported through
this port. Since it became known what
the policy of the Republican admins
tration would be the imports of sugar
have steadily increased. In the
month of April alone there was re-
ceived at this port a total of 81, 053, 1856
pounds of cane and beet sugar valued
at $6O3, 2S7. The duty on this sugar
amounted to $26S, 56267. If the sugar
importations at the eastern ports have
increased in proportion to the entries
here the fact will account in large
measure for the increased revenues of
the government. After the passage
of the Dngley bill,it is not probable
there will be much revenue from this
source for a long time.

FLOOD DAMAGE.

Estimate of the cost of Repairing
Breaks Caused in the Levees.
Special Wire to Sunday Light.
Vicksburg, Miss, May las showing
the enormous damage caused by the
present overflow the following is a good
illustrations An inquiry was wired
here to the engineer in charge of the
levee district to wire an estimate of
the amount required to close all the
breaks in his district. After a care
full estimate he wired that it would re-
quire over one million cubic yards of
earth work to replace the breaks at
the Biggs and Reeds crevasses with
cost of $240,000. To build protection
loops at five breaks on the Mississippi
side at Sledge's, near Gunnison, Coho-
ma county, and at Stokes and Stops
in Bolivar, and the Deerfield levee at
Lake Lee in Washington, and the
Promised Land break in Issequenna
county; to build loop protection levee
three feet below the extreme flood
height of this year, it would cost $50, 900
and to build new lines of levees at he
five breaks would require $4,000
