RICK PLANTERS.
The price of rice having been so low
(his season, with the prospect no better
or worse, the planters are disheartened;
no encouragement to try again, Their
debts are the only stimulant to force their
energy. Work is progressing but slowly,
and planting is very tnueb delayed. No
doubt tbe cold and wet weather has bad
much to do with it. The severe winter
has caused havoc and destruction among
stock. Those that have passed through
with their lives are in bad condition and
very weak. Manv will yet be lost by
bogging. Fully 20 per cent, of the stock,
sheep, and cattle have perished.

POLITICAL INQUESTS.
Mr. Hoar Tries to Palin Off a Dis
guised Bloody Shirt.
Washington, March 26.—Among the
bills introduced in the Senate to-day was
one by Mr. Hoar, providing for inquests
under national authority. Mr. Hoar said
the bill was suggested by the reports of
the recent occurrences at Carrollton,
Miss. The Senate had had no information
in regard to those occurrences, but news
papers of both political parties seemed to
agree about them. According to these re
ports wanton and unprovoked crime had
been committed, resulting In the death of
a large number of citizens in wbicb all
the victims were of one race, ami
he presumed of one political par
ty, und all the murderers of
another, such occurrences unfortunately
had been of frequent occurrence, but
when investigated were apt to take a
political turn. Persons defending; or
apologizing for them said they had uo
political significance. Still the fact re
mained that it was the opponents of tbe
Democratic party that were killed und
that the adherents ot that party were the
murderers. This bill was to supply a
nu thud ot inquiry which would be ’re
moved from politics. The bill was re
ferred to the Judiciary Committee.

Ikved to Hiv~ Matter*.
London. March 26.— Premier Gladstone
and the Ministers attended this after
noon’s Cabinet meeting. The sessiou
lasted an hour and a quarter. Messrs.
Chamtierlain and Trevelyan left the meet
ing together and had a private confer
ence. All tbe Ministers looked serious,
both before and after the meeting.
GLADSTONE'S NEW PLAN.
Mr. G adstone appeared in the House of
Commons this afternoon. Referring to
the announcement made in hi* behalf
yesterday by Mr. Harcourt, Mr. Gladstone
said that the statement he would make on
April 8 would take tbe form of tbe intro
dtiction of a Dill for a future government
lor Ireland. This announcement produced
a sensation. It is now believed that the
Premier has. In deference to tbe opposi
tion of hts own party, decided to abandon,
temporarily at least, bis scheme tor buy
ing out the landlords 01. Ireland, and to
make home rule in some form the pure
and simple basis ol his Irish proposals.
SHELVING NOT NECESSARY.
More careful study ot Mr. Gladstone's
statement throws doubt on the belief that
the introduction ol a home rule hill
would necessarily shelve the land pur
chase bill. Mi. Chamberlain to-night, said
that tbe discussion in to-day’s cabinet,
council had only Intensifiedltbe criss. It
hail not, however, precipitated any resig
nations. A final effort will probably be
made during the coining week to effect a
compromise between the Premier and the
disputants in the Cabinet.
A SETTLEMENT REPORTED
The government’s supporters nave been
privately assured that the government’s
Irish programme has been settled by the
Cabinet. A home rule measure will be
introduced first and will be followed
immediately by a land bill. Both meas
ures, if passed by the House nf Commons,
will he presented to the House of Lords
together. Messrs. Chamberlain aud
Trevelyan will remain in the Cabinetuntil
tbe home rule bill has been tallied.

ON THK RAGING FOX.
The Early Experience* of a Navigator
on an Illinol* River.
From lfi CMcauo -Yew*.
Octave Laundry was the first man to
launch a steamboat on the Fox river at
Aurora. He had had no exnerienee either
in building or managing steamboats, and,
as may l*e inferred, the boat was not a
glorious success either in point of beauty
or for speed. However, it was a steam
boat, and the first steamboat that bad ever
been seen at Aurora, so it attracted much
attention. Laundry had picked up a few
technical phrases—had learned to call a
rope a “line.'’ a chain a “cable,” an an
chor an “ank,” a flagpole a “jackstatT,”
etc.—anil, much to the amusement ot the
passengers he got or his little pleasure
excursions about the millpond, he insist
ed on using these terms himself and on
having his assistant ( Kero Budreau)use
them, which both did with a decided
French accent.
One day tbo boat became unmanagea
ble and began drifting toward the mill
dam with what seemed to lie a fair pros
pect of pitching head-long over it. Of
course all was bustle and bustle on board,
blit the passengers were calmness itself
compared with the two excited French
men. Laundry ran first to one end of the
boat and then to the other, giving orders
taster than ten mer, could have obeyed
them. Finally, standing well astern
where he could jump oft as a last resort,
Laundry yelled to liudreau, who was at
the bow:
“Budreau, t'row over board ze ank.”
“Av, ay, oapftii.” replied liudreau,
“but, zer is no esfde on zeank.”
"Never mind, liudreau, t’row him over
anyteap; be will do some good,”
)<o overboard went the anchor with
nothing to attach It to the boat, and on
went the boat all the faster, being light,
etied of a tremendous load, for Laoudry
hail bought a second band anchor In Chi
cago and bad taken the biggest one he
could get tor the money. Soon the pu
serge: sand crew were convinced thut
they must go over the dam unless they
jumped overlioard. so one by one a lew of
them leaped oft' and were surprised to Und
the water only up to their waists.
In a few seconds the boat rubbed on tbo
bottom and caiue to n standstill. Then
above tbo roar of tbe dam was heard
Laundry’s voles as he stood iu the water
to his middle, bold In.' to the rudder witu
all hts might unit yelling:
"liudi i u. MnwkMawtidfwad —n

THE H A AV All AN RING.
Reserving to the Cuilomvrr Expedient*
to Prevent the Abrogation of the
Treaty.
Washington, March 26.— The syndi
cate directly interested in maintaining
tbe Hawaiian treaty are beyond doubt
working industriously to that end,and it is
said here that they are beginning to look
sharply after their interests in the usual
way.
They have an abundance of money,
and those who believe that the treaty
should be abrogated realize that unless
they are vigilant and energetic the syn
dicate may be able to stave off action
during the present session of Cotigress.
Indeed, it seems to be tbe plan of the syn
dicate to delay action as long as possible,
with the hope that (urther along in the
session there will be such a rush or gen
eral at:d important business that tbe Ha
waiian question may escape definite ac
tion.
A prominent Republican member of the
House, who is in favor of abrogating the
treaty, said to-dav that the California
df-leratlon were shrewdly planning to
prevent action this session, if it is possi
ble to accomplish it, and he has advised
one or two of the Louisiana delegation to
be on their guard and to do all they can to
press the matter.
Mr. Mills, Chairman of the Ways and
Means Sub committee, having all treatv
business in charge, savs that he will en
dea or to put the report forward within a
few days.
Nearly all the members of the Waysand
Means Committee, certainly a decided
majority, are in favor ot the abrogation of
the treatv, and if tbe hill is reported at an
early date there will be sufficient influ
ence to pass it in the House In all proba
bility, It may not have as plain sailing
in the Senate, though, and it behooves the
friends of the proposition to watch it
closely after it shall have passed the
House.
STEAMBOATS IN AFRICA.
Vessels Weighing 50,000 Fonnd* Car
ried Overland Hundreds of Miles.
From the Sew York Sun,
Many times within tne last five years
large caravans have traveled along the
paths that lead far into Africa carrying
strips of iron or steel, boxes of rivets and
bolts, and sections of boilers, paddle
wheels and smoke stacks. After many
weeks these expeditions have heaped
their loads upon the shore of some great
lake or mighty rjver, where white men
and their native assistants have welded
the hundreds of pieces together and
finally launched complete and perfect
steamboats upon the waters of inner Af
rica.
Eleven steamboats aud one sailing ves
sel are now plying upon these great lakes
aiid rivers. it )g on |y twenty-eight year*
sincq Burton and Speke wefe the first
white inen to visit Lakes Victoria and
Tanganyika. Only within the past ten
yearA have they and the third great lake
Nvassa been carefully explored, the
upper waters of the Congo isi(ed, and
the Alima river traced on tbe-mape. Ou
all these inland waters, and also on the
tippet Niger, the whistle’of the steam
boat is now heard, and mary natives
have learned to welcome tue puffy little
crafts as offering them a chance eo trade.
It was a costly undertaking to trans
port these vessels hundreds of nyiles over
land, far into tbe de-ptus ol Africa.
Small as She steamboats are compared
with ourriverboats.they welgttfrbm 25,000
to 50,000 pounds apiece'. From 800 to 1,500
porters were required to transport each
boat to its destination. A few of the
upper Congo steamers, however, were
mounted in section* on steel wagons with
broad tires, and Mr. Stanley tells of “the
awful toil of dragging these heavy steam
ers overland before they are set afloat
above the cataracts.”
These steamer* were nearly all built In
Rngte'nd, and they puffed Mp and down
Entllsffi rivets op trial .trips bttiVrp they
were taken to pii c-s ac<t shipped to Af
rica# berious delay was caused if a sin
gle important piece was lost. After tbe
little French steamer Djue Bad nearly
reached the Alima river early last year it
was discovered that one of the most
necdhsuuy pieces was mismns!; and the
boat lav ttselcsß ou Ike short fdtseveral
mouAJus until a duplicate plegfi.could be
obtained from Europe. A missionary
steamer launched last summer on Lake
Nyassa is uoauued, from engineer to cook,
by crew of native Africans, who were
taken to England to learn their duties.
By, means of this (title craft and its pre
decessor, the Ilala, regular cqojtmtnica
tiou is muiutaiuci among the mission
stations along Nyassa’s seven hundred
miles of coasts, lu another steamer
named Peace, which 800 blacks carried
on their beads to Stanley Pool two years
ago, the missionary Grenfell traveled last
year about 5,000 miles, making many in
teresting discoveries, which the Sun has
already recorded, in wholly unknown
ami densely populated regions along the
Congo tributaries.
THE CARROLLTON MASSACRE.
Decided Language by the President
Against Such Affairs.
From the Washington Poet,
Kx-Senator B. K. Bruce and ex-Con
gressman John R. Lynch, of Mississippi,
called on tbe President yesterday morning
and directed bis attention to the massa
cre of tbirten negroes at Carrollton, Miss.,
on March 17. They represented that they
bad received numbers of letters from col
ored people in that section requesting
that the matter he laid before the
President for such action as he
may deem proper to take. Messrs.
Bruce and Lynch stated that tbe colored
people were almost paralyzed with tear
by the outrage, and 1 bat a mini tier bad
tied to the woods, and it was to-day un
known bow many were killed anti bad
died of tbeir wounds. Tbe attention of
tbe President was directed to the fact that
the Governor of Mistlasipid had taken no
official action in tbe prt mines and wus
represented as having intimated that no
action could he taken, as it would trench
upon the authority of the county in the
premises.
The Prealdent listened with attention
to tbe recitals of Messrs. Bruce and
Lynch, and expressed himself m decided
terms against such affairs fas a blight to
civilization. He expressed himself as
surprised that fho State authorities had
taken uo steps to have the outrage inves
tigated, aud tbe guilty parties brought to
jit lice. He intimated that the matter
had been take! about by the Attorney
General and bimseir.
The interview lasted upwards nf an
hour, and Messrs. Bruce and Lynch ex
pressed themselves as much pleased at
the cordial manner of their reception, and
the earnestness of the President, and the
Interest he look lu having tbe matter
rigidly investigated.
