cable dispatch says: The murder OF Chief
OF Police Henressey in New Orleans has caused
a good deal Of discussion in Italy in regard to
the much-talked-of secret society of Malta.
Many people deny the existence Of such an
organization and declare that while there are
many small cliques among Italians and murder
IL frequently resorted to from their private
motives, yet there is no such worldwide organ
iZation with common aims as the Malta Is de-
scribed to be. On the other hand, several
leading Italian journals state that there is DO
doubt that italian secret societies have
branches IN America and that persons who
incur their enmity cannot escape by changing
their place of residence. The victims, how
ever, are generally fellow Italians. and the
killing Of an American police officer has caused
great surprise.
The second trial Of the Proven-Senoas for
lying in wait and attempting to assassinate the
Matranga gang was to have begun in the crimi-
nal court today, but owing TO the feeling
against the Italians the district attorney has
consented to postponement of the case. This

are anxious that the case should be disposed of,

NEW YORK. Oct. pat is learned that at a
meeting held Monday at the American Express
Company's Office by the principal officers of the

The basis for all express tariffs is the rate be-
tween New York and Chicago. The rate at
present il a per hundred pounds. Under the
new tariff 1t Will be 50 80. Rates will be adj
vanced so cents from Boston, New York. Phia-
delphia, Baltimore and other seaboard points to
points west of Buffalo, Salamanca and Pitts
burg. There will be no changes to points east Of
the last-named places. There will be no increase

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.

TWO STREETS WHICH WERE NOT IMPROVED.
Recently Mr.. S. c. Clarke wrote a letter to
the Commissioners IN which he says that two
OF the twelve streets scheduled for Improvements
by the District Commissioners in the north
east section after the appropriation for the fs-
cal year 1890 was made were never improved.
although he states the appropriation of Sll5,-
AS was ample enough to improve the whole
twelve and leave q good marginal excess for
discrepancies. These two streets. estimated,
he says, at Sl5,450, have boen estimated for
again and charged anew to the northeast sec
ton in the appropriation for the current fiscal
year, 1891. He asks to be informed for what
the appropriation of Sl15,475 for improvement
OF streets in the northeast quarter in the year
1890 has been expended and only two of the
streets were deprived Of any benefit of an ap-
preparation.
