venge. I believe the killing at New
Orleans will result in war; He con-
tinued, But if the Italian govern
ment does not force matters to a
complete and satisfactory issue, and
receive the reparation necessary, [
will say now that an army of
Italians will assemble in New Or
leans which will fully and effect,l-
ally avenge the murder of our coun-
trymen." "You believe in the Malta
and the Vendetta?" II believe in
revenge. Italians are revengeful when
they are angered. We are terribly
angered.'
"What will you demand of this govern
ment?"
"That those concerned III the killing
OF the Italian prisoners be brought to
justice and that full and complete
reparation be made to the families of the
deceased
IF such demands should fail, what
then.'
1--WE shall demand of the italian gov
ernment that it do compel it,
"What would that amount to, even if
Italy should seek to compel acquiescence
to her demands?"
"Why, sir, Italy has such a navy that
IT she chose she could station her vessels
four miles from land and ruin your coast
cities. Italy has $50 or more vessels
OF war. You see what she could do
TALKED OF IN WASHINGTON.
WAsu1NGToN, March 1G.-No further
action will be taken by the federal au-
thorities at Washington in regard to the
shooting of the Italians at New Orleans
until after receipt of Governor Nichols
reply to Secretary Blaine's telegram stat
ing the position of the government in the
matter Tt was stated by officials of the
department of justice and the war de-
partment IN explanation of why the gov
ernment had taken no steps to prevent
mob violence, that the federal authori-
ties are powerless to act in case of disor-
ders in states except when called upon
for aid by the state authorities or when
necessary for the special protection of
government property. Neither of these
contingencies arose at New Orleans. An
official of the state department., in speak
ing to-day of the occurrence, said the
government would have to do all in it's
power to satisfy Italy that the rights of
her citizens in this country would
be protected. The action of
the president in communicating with
the governor Of Louisiana, asking for in
formation on the subject, was the only
thing to be done, and the reply from the
governor had been received. \ thorough
investigation of the matter would OF
course, be made, and after that congress
would have to De called upon for action.
The state department having no money
to pay lnuemnlties or anything of that
sort. Whether it is a case for money in
demnity would be for congress, and not
for tie state department to decide.

pARKERsoN's OPINION.
New YORK, March 1G.The following
is special to the New York Tribune:
New ORLEANS, La, March 16.-I
saw, this morning, William S. Parker
son, the leader of the Regulators
After some talk, he was asked:
"Do you regret what You have
done?" "Not bit," said Parkerson,
promptly. This was great emer-
gency, greater than has ever happened
in New York, Cincinnati or Chicago.
1 didn't act through any sentimental
or personal interest for Hennessy.
I knew him we'll, and I asked Mayor
Shakespeare to appoint him. lie was
a fine man, and an efficient officer,
and we felt that when he was
Killed ther" was no telling which
of us would 20 next. While the Malta
confined itself to killing
its own members we
didn't resort to violence.
But Hennessy's Killing struck at the
very root of American institutions.
The intimidation of the Malta, and
the corruption of our juries are to
be met only with strong measures.
Moreover, | recognize no power
above the people. Under our
constitution the people are sover-
eign authority, aud when the courts,
their agents, fail to carry out the
