New Russian Courts.

Students OF statecraft are observing
with much interest the Cars novel ex-
pertinent in the establishment of the
provincial tribunals, composed OF the
uJoility, with very extensive authority as
courts of original jurisdiction on appeal
from the village tribunals. For centuries,
indeed long before Peter the Great, the
policy of the Gar has been TO break down
the nobility as an obstacle to their own
autocracy, and the nobility has OF late
been pretty well subdued. Now the Gar
is taking steps to partly restore the power
wrested from them.
The new tribunals, so far as their
methods are known, have begun in an ar
bitrary way and show contempt for the
ancient authority of the village courts,
while at the same time reviving the use of
the knout, which has been legally prohib-
tied in Russia for a number of years.
How far the new system will avail to
shield the throne OF the Cars remains to
be seen. 1t has progressed far enough 10

The Italians at New Orleans.

A late dispatch says the excitement
over the Italian or anti-Italian issues
growing out OF the recent assassination OF
Chief of Police Hennessy is becoming
more intensified, and it is feared that ser
ious disturbances are yet in store. The
Tfmes-Democrdt, following up its charges
of cruelty to prisoners, has published
three columns of interviews with Italians
to substantiate them. Their interpreter.
Jose Mache;a, the supposed leader of the
Malta here, who is charged with murder,
is the only man among the prisoners
speaking English and Italian. he said
that the charges of cruelty to the prison
ers are true.
Mayor Shakespeare has published re-
ply to Pasquale Corte, the Italian consul,
in his recent criticism, in which the mayor
shows that nine Of the men charged with
the murder of Hennessy have been Amer
Ican citizens for two years or more. Pub
lie sentiment here condemns the consuls
action as unwarranted interference and as
likely to cause trouble. The principal fea-
ture of the consul's course was the writing
OF letter to the grand jury.

Another Mexican Affront.

Quite little excitement was oc
rasicned in San Antonio, Texas, few
says ago by the crossing of the Mexican
river guard into this reservation and
burning large quantity of wood, intended
for delivery to the post quartermaster at
this post, and firing several shots at one
Jose Girago, an emyloye of MIR. Wilson,
the wood contractor. Jose Girago was
hauling .he wood from the other side OF
the river in violation of orders that were
given the river guard BY the Mexican au-
thorities.a at Paso del Norte TO prohibit al
such crossing. While piling the wood on
the United States military reservation,
Girago was suddenly surprised by the ap-
pearance of the river guard, who demanded
that he accompany them as their prisoner.
This Girago refused 10 do, at the same
time starting TO run toward the post,
distance of about mile, when the Mexi-
cans opened fire on him, but luckily he es-
capped unhurt. The Mexicans then set
fire to the wood and crossed to the other
side of the river.
AS soon as the commanding officer, Ma
ior Logan, was notified he at once took
detail of armed men and started for the
scene. He found the invaders gone, but
managed to save one-half Of the wood,
thirty cords in all. II is not known why
orders were given by the Mexican author
tiles to prohibit the crossing of cord wood,
as there is no duty on that article, but 1t
is thought to have some connection with
the late tariff law, which levies increased
duties on other Mexican products. There
is considerable excitement among Ameri-
cans at such high handed procedure, but
no further trouble is apprehended.
