JOHN BULL ON THE TRAGEDY.
Some Very Sensible Remarks from the
flight Little Island"

CBy Anglc-American cable 10 the Dispasch.l
LONDON, Enc. March 16.-The Star this
evening is Of the opinion that the inn
presssive feature of the New Orleans affair
was the perfect orderliness maintained
throughout the proceedings. Here cham
pious of law and order stand aghast at
such proceedings. The American demo-
eracy has sounder notions as to what law
and order really mean"
"IEr THE OLD WOMEN MoRALrsE."
Mr. Moreton Frewen, a son-in-law Of the
late Mr.. Leonard Jerome. has written q
letter, which is published in the Pail Hal
Gazette to-day, defending the action of the
citizens OF New Orleans as " straighten-
ing out of the Italian question once for
all" and he adds that he leaves the old
women of both sexes TO moralize over tho
so-calied eXcesses of the blood-stalned
populace." etc.
Mr. Frewen also commends the action OF
the men of Louisiana who are not spoil
ed by the spirit of submission TO the letter
Of the law, which has done so much TO
emasculate the human race"
ASGLo-sAxoSs PRETTY MUCH ALIKE EVERY
WHERE"
The PdU-HdH Gazette, in reply, generally
criticises Mr. Frewens letter, but holds
that the English people ought not to hold
up their hands In righteous horror, adding
" one branch of the Anglo-Saxou race docs
not differ from another in this matter.
The citizens of New Orleans finding that
the jury did not do its duty said we must
by one means or by another put crime
down."
The 81. James Gdzette, referring to the
same subject. saws The incident shows
that native Americans have not lost the
quality of stern resolution which il some
times dissolved by life of comfort and
luxury in modern society. The men who
organized this defiance of formal justice
are not ashamed Of what they. have done.
They have defeated society OF foreign
rufiians who were trying to terrorize o
whole city. II is doubtful il John Bull
has enough grit left in him TO protest III
a. emphatic q manner as the citizens OF
New Orleans have protested"

WHAT IS SAID IN WASHINGTON.
The Case Diplomationliv without Prece-
dent-Beyond Federal Control.
ru,. ,oto,,-o,,h o., ,ho Tianatcb


WAHlINGToN, March 16.-No further ac-
ton will be taken by the Federal authOri-
ties at Washington in regard to the shoot
ing of the Italians at New Orleans until
after the receipt of Governor Nichols's re-
ply 10 Secretary Blaine's telegram stating
the position of the Government IN the
matter. IL was stated by officials of the
Department of Justice and the War De
partment, in explanation of why the Gov
ernnent had taken no steps to prevent
mob violence, that the Federal authorities
are powerless to act in cases Of disorder in
the States excSpt when called upon for aid
by the State authorities or when necessary
for the special protection of Government
property. Neither of these contingencies
arise at New Orleans. The Governor did
not ask for assistance and the public build
ings at New Orleans were at no time in
any danger from the mob.
BEroND TILE SCOPE OF FEDERAL ACTION.
These statements indicate clearly that
up TO the time of the killing Of the sus-
pected murderers the case was wholly be-
yondthe scope of Federal action. The
fact, however, that several of the men
killed were subjects of Italy and the fur
ther fact that the italian Government has
made a formal demand for an inyestiga-
ton has given the case an aspect calling
for diplomatic negotiations. State De-
partment officials find some difficulty in
acting on this case for the reason that it IS
entTely without precedent in the diplo-
mgtA annals of the country. II is settled,
however. that no further steps will be
taken until all the circumstances leading TO
and surrounding the case shall have been
officially communicated.
liR. BLAINE has NOTHING TO SAY.
Secretary Blaine refuses absolutely to
discuss the matter. He has received a
number of kilograms from Italian organlza-
tiOns in different parts OF the country pro-
testing against what they term an out
rage" and demanding that all Italian citi-
Zens of the United States be properly pro-
tected against violence and race prejudice.
The matter is almost the sole topic Of con-
versation in diplomatic circles. and so far
as can be ascertained the general opinion
is that the State of Louisiana and not the
United States must be held responsible.
A demand for indemnity would of course
come from the Italian Government,
through it's Minister Resident, would be
transmitted by the Secretary of State to
the Governor of Louisiana, and if repu-
dated by that State would be submitted to
Congress for such action as might be
daf{a ii dadyisabis.--------

New YORK. March 1G.-The Italian Con-
sui, Signor Pasquale Corte, does not at all
agree with Parkerson as to the commenda-
bleness OF his action. OF course. think
it is an outrage. If the law miscarried the
proper thing was TO have new trial-not
TO make innocent men suffer for the de-
fects of the American laws. / have no
sympathy with criminals. nor has my
country. The criminals among those pri-
soners should have been punished. but le-
gaily, and to take innocent mems blood!
All, that was wrong
Il don't wish to fasten the blame on
anybody" said the Consul cautiously.
Alr. Parkerson is young man of good
family and high character. aud in doing
what he did be probably thought he
was right. But do saw that grave respon-
sibility rests with the Governor. the Mayor
and Sheriff.
WHERE THE TRoUBLELAY.
"The whole trouble is between the Ma
trangas and the Provenzanos, who form
two factions of the Mafa. Before his
death Hennessey sent to the Chief of Po-
lice of Rome for picture and description
of some ruihan supposed To belong to the
ProyenZanos. A reply came. Hennessey
sent the reply TO me in an open envelope,
asking me to have it translated. | can
only surmIse that that letter was read by
some unauthorized person, who advised
the Provenzanos. Only five of the men
not, killed and two of those killed were
unnaturalized Italians. The rest were
naturalized. Most of them have been
here a long while and speak English excel
lently. AT least one was married to an
American wife.

"Wlat can b0 done now, The TriI,fnp

Others TO part of the country where no
prejudice exists. / demand also. in the

AN INVESTIGATION.

Attorney-Goneral Rogers has made an
investigation Of Saturdays occurrence at
the Jail. The prison officials say that they
recognized some of the persons who were
on the inside of the prison, and the names
OF these, II is understood, have been for
warded TO the AttOrney-GeneTal. Some
indictments may follow, as q tOrmality,
but so greut number of people were con-
cerned II the killing that i will be impos-

Signor Corte says that a full report Of
the proceedings has been transmitted to
Rome and 20 the Legation at Washington,
and that all further action will be taken
through the Legation.
O'MALLBY IN BAD LIGHT.
O'Malley, the detective who was largely
the cause of the trouble, Is not IN town.
His suit against the States for $4,000 dam
ages is TO come up to-day and the answer
of the defendant has already been pub
hshed. II WAS so strong and indicated so
indubitably that O'Alalley had been sent
TO prison for theft in Cleveland, that he
had periured himself, and that he had
suborned witnesses that sentiment
against him was created, and II Is expected
now that he has left town never to return,
especially as he was not in court to-day
when his case was called.

STREET CAR PROBLEMS
Some Questions Which the Future win
Probably Solve

The approaching completion Of the
electric railroad causes more thought
TO be given to the question Of the
probable consolidation Of the company
in this city with that Of New What
com. A transfer at the foot Of the
hill, at the city line, will be a disa-
greeable feature Of trip between the
two cities. and on a rainy day will be
something 10 arouse the anger Of our
most patient citizens.
The question Of two fares, for a
short ride Of three miles, will be an
other point on which the patrons Of
the two roads will fail 10 meet the
views OF the companies, and much
fault finding will be INDUCED in. All
the large cities, here and elsewhere,
furnish such facilities, 10y through
lines or a continuous trip, by means OF
transfer checks that people can go Ia
their destination, on any car that
makes the connections, for single
fare. and such will doubtless be ar.
ranged here as soon as the road Is wei
established, when, let IL be hoped
some compromise may also be made
whereby the cars OF each company car
go 20 the end Of the line over eacf
others track.

NOW FOR A YACHT CLUB
A Meeting to be Held for Organization
on Monday Evening

Oh HANhNNJ A@NphAAs
The formation OF a Yacht Club in
this city, is step which should be
taken at once. Several preliminary
meetings have been held with such an
object in view and Monday evening a
final meeting for completing the or
ganiZatiOn is TO be held in j. +. Ward
ner's Office.
There are here several fine yachts
and many Of the most energetic citi-
Zens are interested i'm the formation
of a club, to put Fairhayen on an
equal footing with other Sound cities.
! The opportunities for the enjoyment
OF this most healthful Of all pastimes,
are not surpassed by any city in the
state and the natural advantages Of
| fered yaChtman here are far in cX-
cess Of any enjoyed in Eastern waters,
where yachting has obtained such a
great popularity.
The islands about the Bay. within a
convenient distance, afford many shell
| tered harbOrs, with deep water, for
the floating Of a yacht and many
pleasant locations well supplied with
fresh water and all the natural attrac-
| tions to make them just the right
I
place for the establishment Of club
| house, where necessary buildings
could be erected for the enjoyment OF
yachting parties, as is so extensively
done i'm the East.
A suitable course for speed trials
could be buOyed out here in our Bay
and friendly contests arranged with
yacht clubs Of neighbOring cities;
without which rivalry little interest
is taken in yachting by Others than
the immediate owners OF crafts.
Let a club be organized at once and
let every owner or enthusiast take an
immediate interest in its formation
We have here the necessary facilities
adjacent points Of interest; severa
fast yachts and plenty Of good yacht
men, and with the proper organization
may have as fine yacht club as any
on the Sound.

His Alleged Reasons Given for
Taking Such Steps at
This Time
If James G.. Blaine Wants the
Nomination Harrison
Will Step Out

CHICAGO, Aug. ia special 10 the
Herald from Cape May, n. j., says:
President Harrison will, before the
meeting Of the Republican National
convention Of 1892, declare over his
own signature, in the most emphatic
manner, that he is not a candidate for
denomination TO be made by that con
ventiOn. The president decided upon
this course within the last few weeks
and his purpose in calling hither a
few days ago Chairman Clarkson, Of
the national committee, and Stephen
b. Elkin, was TO tell those gentlemen
that they might inform these Repub-
licans who are taking sides, either for
or against his denomination, that they
are doing it unnecessarily.
The decision Of the president not 10
permit his name 10 90 before the
convention was made with some reser-
yations, which depend upon these con
ditiOns:
Frst-lf the present bitter opposi-
tion within the Republican party 10
Mr.. llarrisOn's denomination shall
continue Till next spring, hc will with

Sccond-lf Blaine shall be well and
strong enough TO take the nomination
and the party'S demand for him con
tinucs as strong and sincere as 10 ap-
pears at the present time, Mr.. llarri-
son will withdraw.
Third-lf Mr.. Blaine having SUM-
.cicnt health and strength, shall be
willing 30 take the nomination. Mr..
Harrison will Withdraw.
