what to the surprise of the bar of
the State, and even the supreme
judges, it has been found that the
statutes make gambling u felony
instead of a misdemeanor as has
been currently believed. 1t has
long been a rule to give, gamblers
a trial in police and magistrate
courts instead of circnit courts.
The point was brought up in
the case of b. +. Jones vs.. the
State. from the circuit court of
Copiah county, wherein the appll-
cant had been sentenced to serve
five years in the ponitentiary on
the ,charge of running a poker

sons. The present extreme PEN
atty is 500 fine and 30 days inn

Berlin, March 12.-General Methuen, who was British military attache at Berlin from 1877 to 1881, made many friends while here. Among the stories related of him is that upon one occa- sion when he was going to the palace to visit Emperor William I, in 1881, he jumped into the Spree and saved the life of a drowning child. The time re- quired to change his clothes made him late at his audience with the emperor. For this he apologized but his not give the reason for the delay A few days later at reception in the palace the emperor drew the British attache aside and pinned the rescue medal on the lapel of his coat.

The bill will be filed very soon and the United States Steel corporation which it is reputed owns the stock of the Du luth, Mesaba and Northern and Duluth and Iron Range roads will be made a rarty defendant. The steel corpora ton has offices at Duluth.
 Before final adjournment the state senate adopted a resolution calling for an investigation of the purchase of the roads and the governors action is in response to this demand. The railroads have not actually consolidated and maintain separate organizations, but 1t is alleged they are under common control The same question involved in the states complaint against the North ern Securities company is at issue at the present action.

No.ROYAL VISIT TO IRELAND.
Cancelled for This Year on Advice of
 the Cabinet.

London. March 12-It was officially announced to-day that the proposed royal visit to Ireland this year has been cancelled, upon the advice of the cab- inet.
 The announcement that King Edward had cancelled his visit to Ireland was published too late to elicit opinions thereon in Dublin. There is no doubt, however, but that this action will cause keen disappointment although the roy al decision has been anticipated by semi official announcement.
 There are several reasons for this de- cision. The first Is that the coronation festivities, which involve fatiguing ob- ligations and needful rest, would post pone the visit until the autumn, when the weather is bad; secondly, the fears that the present temper of Irish na- tionalists and the United Irish league agitation might lead to some offensive demonstrations, thirdly, it is said that several of the leaders of Catholic opin- ion in Ireland have warned the govern ment that it would be inexpedient for the king to visit Ireland so soon after his accession to the throne and his declaration against Romish doctrines in England.
 The announcement evol1es mingled feelings of regret and approval, and it is hoped the royal visit will be possi- ble in 1903, by which time, it is antici- pated by many persons, the United Irish league agitation will have burned out.
