NEW ORLEANS, March 1S.-The river at
this point continues stationary, although a
sixteen-mile wind blowing the wrong way
banked up three-tenths more at one time,
AS the river Is not going down and as the
Memphis rise is on the way the weather
bureau has good grounds for adhering to
its prediction of q feet. The highest previ-
out record was in 1897, and was 1875.
The location Of the La Fourche crevasses
was fortunate for the Southern Pacific, and
there will likely be no more in that vicinity.
The Texas & Pacific was equally unlucky,
the Bougere crevasse affecting a part of the
new st. Louis line, not yet in operation.
The blocking off OF the Mississippi valley
near Memphis works little harm, the Ar
lington levee near Baton Rouge being more
important. The night closes with little
change in the situations and hopes as bright
as ever.

COLON, March B.-The ratification of
the Hay-Herran Panama canal convention
by the United States Senate yesterday has
caused much jubilation among the 18TH
mian supporters of the Panama route.
There are, however, many clear Indications
from the Department of Bolivar and other
points in the Colombian Republic that the
ratification of the convention will certain
ly meet with strong opposition in the Col
umbian Congress. A memorial adverse to
the. treaty addressed to the Congress which
will meet towards the end of May, is now
being signed by influential men at Cartha-
gena.

STEAMER SHAKEN AT SEA.
Passengers Of the Newport, from Pam
anna, Scared by a Submarine Quake.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 1S-The
steamer Newport, which arrived to-day
from Panama and way ports, was severely
shaken by an earthquake while at sea. So
pronounced was the shock that most of the
passengers and many of the crew believed
that the steamer had run on reef. 1t
was shortly after 3 o'clock on the morning
of March IL and while the vessel was about
eighteen miles off the coast Of Corinto that
the shock was felt. Several of the passen-
gers, aroused from their sleep by the force
of the quake, rushed on deck in their night
clothes

SPRING VALLEY, Wis, March 1S.-very
heavy rains last night caused floods on all
the smaller rivers. At Martell, on the Rush
river. a mill dam went out, taking three
men, two of whom were rescued. Leon
Gasman was drowned and Henry Gasman
was badly hurt. Five railroad bridges are
out between here and Elmwood, a distance
of eight miles. The roads are almost i'm
passable.
At Plainfeld, Wis, the worst rainstorm
of the year prevailed last night and to-day,
thoroughly soaking the ground and taking
out the frost. Winter rye fields are looking
fine and green since the rain and promise
we'll IL severe cold weather does not follow.

philadelphia Record.

The arrival OF immigrants I'm the United
States for 1902 were 73S. .2s9 greater number
than in any previous year except 1882 when
the total of arrivals was 7SS. 992 The tide
sets in heavily for 1903 In January 81, ,S57
immigrants were landed, making no ac-
count of persons who crossed the frontier
without official note. This shows a gain
over the January arrivals for 1902 OF S622
Should this rate of increase be maintained
a new record will be made. America, be-
yond all other parts OF the habitable globe
still holds out superior Inducements to
the wanderers Of mankind who seek 10 bet

Snow in England.

LONDON, March 1S.-The heaviest snow
fall of the winter was reported from parts
of England to-day. Rain and hail fell
elsewhere in Great Britain and Ireland, ac-
companied by gales and causing floods and
great damage. Between Londonderry and
Colerain thousands of acres of farm lands
were submerged several feet by the break
ing of the sea walls and hundreds of FAM
lilies to flee. In the northeast part Of
Warwickshire several villages were inun-
dated and cut off from communication with
the neighboring towns

MILWAUKEE,, March 1s.-According to
the weather bureau to-days heat broke the

NATCHEZ, Miss, March 1S.-In spite OF
the great width of the river a rise of a
quarter of foot is recorded by the gauge
for the twenty-four hours ending at p. m.
This makes the Mississippi river at
Natchez AS feet above the danger line
and rising. The water pouring through the
crevasse at Bougere, La, has filled the
swamp lands in the lower end of Concordia
parish, and is backing up the bayous.
Black river, at Jonesville, La, reached the
danger line to-day-forty-eight feet-and is
rising at the rate of two inches day.

views until that moment. Then when they
were seated in chairs arranged in SEMI
circle he addressed them somewhat as fol-
lows:
Gentlemen, have had a manifold pur-
pose in extending the invitation for you to
meet me here to-day. 1t is a great pleasure
TO me TO see and to know and 10 be known
by each of you. One of my purposes
in seeking this interview was to discuss a
matter of business which / believe will in
tereSt YOU. There are no eaveSdroppers who
can overhear what we have TO say, so that
our negotiations are private, between you as
representatives of your followers, and me,
as the representative of the government.
You are each of you leaders of a class which
can be described by no other word than out
law; you gain your livelihood by levying
upon those who are weaker than you are, by
robbery and piilage; you are the banditti or
provisional President of the entire country,
and, therefore, its provisional dictator, or, If
you will, its ruler. Hence, l am your chief
as well as the chef of the regular army. 1t
is as your chief, therefore, that 1 address
you. Nevertheless, it is not my purpose TO
require or TO order, but TO request and 10
lmportune each and all of you to join hands
with me in the purpose which l will now
describe. wish to bring every one of your
followers into the lap of the government. L
wish every one of them TO become an en-
ploye OF the government. / want every one
of them a soldier for the government,
and want you, gentlemen, to be their cap
talnS, their colonelS and their generals. 1t is
a necessity for the welfare and future of
Mexico, and it must be done. have here a
list of your names. / will call them one by
one. l will ask each, as his name is called,
TO rise and inform me as nearly as possible
just how much money comprises the yearly
income of his followers. Then when the list
Is complete, we will ascertain the average
OF the total amount, and whatever sum 1T
may prove TO be, that amount shall be paid
per capita per annum by the government
among the soldiers who, through your infiu-
ence, are enlisted in the National Guard,
which you are TO assist me in creating. In
addition thereto, each of you will be made
an officer In the army, and will draw the
salary due to your rank. That is all, gep-
tlemen. The details can be arranged later l
will leave you now in order that you may
discuss this among yourselves. In thirty
minutes L will return.

The banquet will then be served. There are
5000 soldiers drawn up around the palace
awaiting your decision. They are anxious to
know what you will have for dinner, and it
is for you to decide whether you prefer
cabrito and venison-or bullets
They chose cabrito and venison."

THE CHILDREN'S BREAD.
Why Women VIII Not Prosecute the
Husbands Who Beat Them.
Philadelphia Telegraph


When an abused and suffering woman re-
fuses to testify in court against her brutal
husband who lays his hand upon her in
violence and otherwise despitefuliy entreats
her, impatient critics are prone to declare
that she deserves all the abuse she gets
IF she likes that sort of thing, let her have
it, is the comment frequently made when
a wife hesitates to bear witness against the
man who beats her, even seeks to protect
him from the penalty of the law. 1t is ex-
asperating, indeed, when the weaker vessel
interferes with the course of rigorous Justice
and we are very apt to be provoked out of
all sympathy with suffering; but il should
be made known and fully understood that
the escape of the inhuman assailant is not
always attributable to mistaken sentiment
or undeserved affection.
Suppose the man Is a laborer, earning. say,
ten or twelve dollars a week. He does not
always I've his family just share of his
wages, but the wife gets, perhaps, five or six
dollars i'm course of the week TO keep the
table and, by management, with the risk of
a blow now and then, she contrives to get
hold of enough TO pay the rent at the end of
the month, with a little more perhaps. for
the childrens shoes. Now, If she has the
drunken wretch consigned to Jail for thirty
days where is the bread money and the rent
money to come from? That is the considera-
ton that saves many wifebeater from
well-deserved punishment IL he could be
soundly dashed at the whipping post with
forty stripes save one we'll laid on, and
then sent back TO his work with warning
that worse would follow another offense.
