THE ITALIAN FUSS.
no WORD FROM THB ITALIAN GOVERN
MENT
That an Answer IS Demanded by Certain
Tne-Mr. Blsines Answer Not Yet
Forwardsd-An Official Statement
Awaited From New Orleans.

WASHINGTON, April l3.-But two
facts could be added to-day 10 the public
stock Of information respecting the dip
lOmatic ENHANCEMENT with Italy, grow
ing out of the New Orleans tragedy.
one OF these was that the State De-
partment has not received any intima-
tion from the Italian government that
their last note must be answered before
"a given date. Nor is such an intima-
tiou expected, for the Department feels
that IL is acting properly and reason
ably. and 10 would be a very unusual
course for q nation engaged in diplomat
ic negotiations with another, TO question
the motives upon which the cOrreSpon-
deuce proceeded The second fact is
that Secretary Blaine'S answer TO the
Marquis al Rudlui'S last note has not
vet been forwarded 10 was probably
the Secretary's purpose TO accompany
this reply with an official statement
touching the nationality OF the New
Orleans victims and other facts that
were expected from the officials of the
Department OF Justice in New Orleans.
These reports have not yet reached
Washington. When they are received
great care must be exercised in reduc-
ing the facts contained in them to
form useful for diplomatic use, 50 that
unless the Secretary is prepared to send
his letter without these facts, il is not
likely To- 90 forward Immediately. Sec
retary Blaine had a short talk with the
President to-day, but as the latter was
very busy i'm arranging other important
matters before he leaves Washington, it
is sot probable that even this subject,
I'm which be has shown particular in
terest, could be- discussed with any re-
suit

Harvey was seated on the piazza
when Alexander came up the steps with
II. W. Clark. ex-pOStmaSter OF Jackson
vile. Harvey beckOned TO Alexander
to walk down the porch with him. Har-
vey had heard that Alexander had re-
ported that Harvey had boasted that
there was $3.50, 900 in hand in Tallahas-
see with which to defeat Call, and he
asked Alexander If he had circulated
this story, adding that he did not pro-
pose TO let him or any other man tell
lies about him. Alexander asked II
Harvey meant to call him liar, ana
upon Harvey replying eyes, he struck
Harvey blow on the left temple. Then
both drew their pistols almost simultan-
eously. Harvey fired: Clark struck his
arm and the ball missed Alexander; Al
exander turned and ran and Harvey
fired second shot az him as he passed
through the door.
Clark still struggled with Harvey. who
then ran to the door and fred third
shot at Alexander as the latter disap-
peared through the back door OF the
office leading to the barber shop. None
Of the shots took effect with the eNcep-
tion OF a spent ball which hit Albertus

They had to dodge the balls to escape
being hit. When Harvey fired across
the Office there were half dozen peo-
ple passing in and out OF the dining
room aud up and down the stairs, but
luckily no one was hit.
The widest excitement prevailed FOR
a few minutes, and the whole hotel was
in an uproar. Seyeral minor alterations

ScorrDALE, PA. April 13.-There
was unusual activity all along the line
to-day. owing to the fact that the Frick
and Mcclure companies had decided to
begin operations at all plants as soon as
possible. The Mcclure company con
centrated their efforts on the Painter
plant. and eighty men went to work
there to-day. The other Mcclure plants
are still idle, however. The Frick com
pany states that their shipments to-day
will reach 100 cars Of coke, but the
strikers deny this. Some twenty eyic

fact that fully 200 notices have been
