BOYCOTTING PROTECTION.

States of Central Europe Invited to
 Form Coalition Against Protec-
 tionist Countries. a.
 ROME, May 4.-The commercial treaty between Germany and Austro Hungary has become topic of press comment. In it's interested ulterior consequences it bids fair to become matter of the greatest con cern to the people of the United States. It is announced that Germany and Austro- Hungary have invited Italy, Switzerland and Belgium to join in convention at Vienna for the avowed purpose of forming a coalition of the central European states against protectionist countries.
 But why states whose customs tariffs are constructed so uniformly for the purpose of protecting under interests ss are those of Germany, ,Austro- Hungary and Italy can give out as the reason for the proposed CO.,
 a1ition the protectionism of other coun-
 tries is puzzle to those who have careful ly studied the situation. It is not yet known that Italy has consented to join the convention at Vienna for the purpose of
 considering the subject. If she should it would seem that the political ties of the triple alliance are stronger than her commercial necessities, fo1 among her best friends, commercial ly considered, are France and the United States, Since the commercial treaty with
 France expired in 1887 Italy's exports have
 fallen off largely, but France still remains l one of Italy's best customers. Italy's e1 ports to Austria and Germany have fallen from 197, ,OOO, ,OOO francs in 1885 to 1s1, 1 O0O, ,O0O francs in 1889. In the latter year
 France bought of Italy 1894 ,000, 900 francs In 1890 the United States bought 130, 900, 900. The effective value of the league de bends on the adhesion of Italy. Withou | it it would fall far short of the importanc, ! it would gain by her adherence.

The Secretary Addresses Communi-
 cation to Minister Porter in Regard to Imperiali's Statements Printed
 Yesterday.
 WASHINGTON, D. G., May 4.-The follow ing was sent by Secretary Blaine to-day:
 DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
 WASHINGTON, D. C., May 1, 1S91 { Porter, American Minister, Rome:
 A series of statements addressed to the Mar quis Imperiali by the Marquis Rudini was tele- graphed from Rome yesterday and was published by the Associated Press of the United States to- day. The only part of the Marquis Rudins com munication which this government desires to notice is the one here quoted, namely:
 q have now before me note addressed to you by Secretary Blaine, April 14. Its perusal pro- duces most painful impression upon me. Twill not stop to lay stress upon the lack of conformity with diplomatic usages displayed in making use, of telegram of mine communicated to him in strict confidence, in order to get rid of question clearly defined in our official documents which alone possess diplomatic value.''
 The telegram of March 24, concerning whose public use the Marquis Rudini complains, is the following, which was quoted in full in my pote of April 14 to Marquis Imperial, charge of Italy, at this capital:
 ROME, March A, 1891. Italian Minister, Washington:
 "Our requests to the federal government are very simple. Some Italian subjects acquitted by the American magistrates have been murdered in prison while under the immediate protection of the authorities. Our right therefore to de- mand and obtain the punishment of the murder CTS and an indemnity for the victims is unques- tionable I wish to add that the public opinion in Italy is justly impatient, and if concrete pro- visions were not at once taken should find my self in the painful necessity of showing openly our dissatisfaction by recalling the minister of his majesty from country where he is unable to obtain justice. [Signed1 RUDINI."
 The intimation of the Marquis Rudini that the telegram in question was delivered in strict con- fdence is a total error. AS the telegram ex- pressed the demand of the Italian government it was impossible that Marquis Rudini could trans init it in strict confidence. As I have already stated it was communicated to me in person by Baron Fava, written in English in his own hand writing without a suggestion of privacy, and the telegram itself has not a single mark upon it denoting a confidential character. I have caused a number of copies of the telegram to be for warded to you o-day in fac-simile. The usual mark for italic printing was used by me under four lines, and they appear in the copies. You will use the fac-simile in such manner as will most effectualy prove the error into which the Marquis Rudini has fallen. ISignedl

EXCITEMENT IN THE CHAMBER.

1 French Deputies ExAsperated at .
 Remark Of an Associate-The Dis cussion of the Fourmeis Affair
 Leads to tho Tumulr.
 | PARIS, May At was announced yes terday that section of the left would join with the socialist and Boulangist deputies in demanding a vote of censure l to-day against NJ. Constans, the minister of the interior, on the ground that the latter was responsible for the slaughter of the men and children shot down by the troops at Fourmeis on Labor day. M. Constans to-day after replying in explana- tory terms as to the Fourmies affair and giving his version of the matter, holding that neither the government troops were to blame for the disaster, was astonished to see M. Roche, the deputy representing the Seventeenth electoral district of the Seine spring to his feet and shout
 iercely: 'Murder!" A tremendous sensation followed. Members shouted at and threatened each other vigor ously. Finally order was restored and the chamber voted that M. Roche ticipation in to-day's session, and that he should be declared censured by the cham Der for the term he had applied to the minister of the interior. No sooner was this course of action decided upon than M. Roche again sprang to his feet and shaking his fist at those of his associates who had been most active in bringing about his proposed expulsion and censure the angry deputy yelled: "You are lot of varlets worthy of your master"
 This was more than the presiding officer could submit to so he ordered M. Roche to be removed by force from the chamber. This was eventually done amid one of the scenes of the widest excitement ever wit messed in the chamber of deputies.
 The excitement began with M. Dumays interpellating the government in regard to the Fourmeis riot. He threw the en- tire blame for the trouble upon Minister Constans.
 Quiet having been restored M. Milleraud demanded that's committee be appointed to inquire into the Fourmeis riot
 M. de Freycinet, premier and minister of war, opposed the motion. He said the government was not indifferent. It did not desire to set up 8 barrier of arms against political and social claims. It would rather cooperate with parliament to improve the lot of the working classes. Applause.
 N. Milleraud's motion was rejected-371 to 4S
 The chamber then by vote of 356 to 33 passed resolution declaring confidence in the government.
 FoURMEIs, May 4.-The funeral of the victims of the May day riot took place to- day. The funeral procession was very long, being participated in by large num- Der of workmen's clubs, with red and black flags draped. The nine cofins were surrounded by the rela- tives of the victims. After the religious services the clergy left and the socialists then took charge, some vio- lent addresses being delivered. Many wo- men carrying banners placed wreathes upon the graves. The troops keeping order in the streets shouldered arms while the cof- fins were passing.
 ROME, May 4.-The chamber of deputies to-day by a vote of 235 to 115 approved the action taken by the government on May-day.

 UN1oNTowN, Pa., May 4.-Another col lision has occurred between the coke strik- CTS and deputies, the result being one striker dead and one seriously wounded. Last night Superintendent Gray and Pit Boss Gallaghan of Leisenring No. 3 went to house No. r to rescue two of the men who had been at work and were being held at that house by the strikers. They were set upon and stoned and the deputies came to their aid One of the strikers tried to take gun from one of the deputies, when shot was fired by the strikers. Superin- tendent Gray then ordered the deputies to fire and in the volley that followed John Mahan, striker, fell dead, and another, whose name is not known, received a nor tai wound. The strikers then scattered and the two men who were held as prison CTS were rescued and taken to Leisenring The situation is now reported quiet.
 P1TTsBURe, Pa., May 4.-A Chronicle Telegraph scottsdale, Pa., special says: John McSloy, member of the executive board, has arrived here from Dunbar, where he swore out warrants for the arrest of Superintendent Robert Gray, Yard Boss Agnew, Pit Boss Callaghan and two of the Pinkerton guards, charging them with the murder of the Slav, John Mohan. In making statement of how the murder occurred McSloy said: "Last evening the above named persons went to boarding house No. IF and endeavored to persuade the men to return to work this morning. Failing in their efforts they became some | what chagrined and left the house, when | about 150 feet they met Mohan and
 several others who, knowing their busi. l ness, commenced jeering and laughing at them. This seemed to greatly enrage Su-
 perintendent Gray and party, who imme- l diately with their Winchester rifles opened fire on the men. Four shots were fired | and Mohan fell dead, having been shot l through the head. One of the party was | shot through the nose, but not seriously | injured. The warrants were sworn out
 before Squire Cotton and the arrests will be made this afternoon.
 | A dispatch from Dunbar tells a different
 story of the shooting. It is in effect that
 Gray, Callaghan and Agnew, all bosses,
 were eseorting Mohan to work, and the
 deputies, mistaking them for rioters,
 opened fire upon them, killing Mohan in
 stantly.
