MR. RAYARp'S VIEWS.

The Ex-Secretary Says that Italy Has No
 Basis for n Claim.
 WILMINGTON, Del, March 17.-Ex-Secre- tary of State Bayard, when asked for his opinion of the killing of the four subjects of the King of Italy at New Orleans on Saturday, said:
 Taking the newspaper reports of this event, there is no basis upon which the Italian government can place a claim for indemnity. The disturbance was purely local and there was no affront offeSed to. the representatives of the Italian Govern ment. Neither was there any discrimina- tion between the United States and Italy. Bad as it was, all were used alike"
 "The fact is" said MT. Bayard, "these people are given the same protection that is afforded to American citizens. The courts are open to them and judgment is impartial. Further than that the United States has no liability. These outbreaks of violence are a part of the common risk to which all people are liable and which it is impossible to prevent. There is no obligation of law or custom of which am aware that makes the United States liable for indemnity or reparation in this case"

NEW ORLEANS QUIET
No Excitement Whatever in
 the Crescent City.
A WARNING FROM THE MAF1A
Parkerson, the Leader of the Vigilanta
 Told that He is to be Poisoned.

Confession from Member of the Gang of ofAssassins-Detcctive o'NIa1ly's Return Would Create Serious Troub1e-Reports of the Doings ofVarious Italian Colonies Throughout the Country.
 NEW ORLEANS, March 17.-There is not the least bit of excitement in the city, matters having resumed their usual rou- tine.
 Business is going on as usual, and a stranger could not guess by outward signs that New Orleans has been the scene of a tragedy which startled the world.
 Governor Nicholls, Senator White and Attorney General Rogers had long con- ference over MT. Blaine's telegram based upon the demand of the Italian govern ment concerning the lynching. A reply to the Secretary of State was drawn up, but the Governor refused to give out even the substance of it.
 The only thing likely to revive the ex- citement of Saturday would be the re- turn of Detective O'Malley, who has been warned from the city by the committee of safety, and who has disappeared. If he should come back there is scarcely 8 doubt that he would be strung to a lamp post. The feeling against him is intensi- fled, if that were possible, by the report that a talesman in the Hennessy murder trial has in his possession @ letter written to him by O'Malley containing a corrupt proposition in the event that he should be taken on the jury. The letter, it is said, has been handed over to the district-at- torney.
 The grand jury will further examine into the alleged bribery of jurors to-day. Thomas McChristal, who was indicted a few days ago, was taken from the prison to the district attoaney's office and was closeted with that official for some time It is generally believed that McChristal has made a confession in the matter, but the officials decline to state the nature of their business with the prisoner.
 Parkerson to Die.
 MT. Parkerson, the leader of Saturdays s mob, has received the following warning, purporting to come from tho Matia:
 MAFIA WARNING.
 You domed man are god almity cant save you we have it swon our comrades you mur- dered and we kell you and you famle you will be poison the stileto will do for the wrest.
 Neither MT. Parkerson nor his friends are at all concerned about the threats of the anonymous writer; on the other hand the telegraph and mail are bringing many congratulatory messages to the leader of the citizens.
 Juror SeIisman Leaves New Orleans.
 Jacob Seligman, the foreman of the jury who acquitted the Italians, was escorted to a Queen and Crescent train, and started off for Cincinnati. It is said that Seligman went upon the jury with @ considerable sum of money in his possession. His methods of communicatioA with the out side have not yet been disclosed. It is charged that Jurors Bolzen and Donegan were also fixed before they went into the jury room. Most of the other jurors were mere boys, persons without standing in the community or men easily led.

} A MESSAGE FROM GOV. NICHOLS
He Will Send Long Explanation of the
 Mafa Trouble.

Ex-Secretary Bayard Says that Italy Has
 Naval Officers Agitating the Strengthen
 ing of the Navy-Secretary PrOctOr's
 Visit to New Orleans.
 WASHINGTON, March 1.-The assassina- tion of the Italian prisoners in New Or leans continues to be the oyershadowing question which now embarrasses the State Department.
 Secretary Blaine has received a telegram from Governor Mich oils stating that all would reply to the Secretary's dispatch by letter, with long explanation of the Mafia troubles in that city.
 Dispatches were received at the State Department from other sources indicating that the friends of the assassins were dis posed to be indignant because the Presi- dent had transmitted a message to the Governor of the State. The explanation given of their fury is that an attempt has been made to interfere with State rights, and they did not propose to permit it to go unavenged. Secretary Blaine declines to discuss the future of the controversy.
 The presence of Sc cretary of War Proc tor in New Orleans and his reported inter- view with Governor Nichols indicated that plenty of aid will be furnished the State by the national government and the army in case the Italian colony should at tempt an.overt act. There are two com panies of artillery at Fort Jackson, Miss. These, with the State troops, would sure ly be, it is thought, able to quell any out break.
 Ex-Chairman McCreery of the House Foreign Affairs Committee said that un- doubtedly the tragedy would be made the subject of Congressional investigation. The State Department could have no au- thority to pay an indemnity without the consent of Congress, All that the State Department could do would be to assure the Italian government of the profound regret experienced by the United States and await the action of Congress.

Now he is asked to penetrate the gloom of the future.

One of the Gang Made 8 Confession About
 the Murder Organization.
 NEW ORLEANS, March 17.-Joseph Provenzano, whom the Mafia have want ed to get out of the way for some time, makes public confession made to him by Jim Caruso, who was killed by the mob.
 Caruso was initiated to the Alafa by Matranga, who was acquitted by the jury and released from prison. Caruso said he only attended one meeting; that he went in and Matranga held up a skull in his left hand and dirk in his right. He was then sworn with uplifted hands to abide the decision of the order. He said he was informed after taking the obligation that the object was to kill those who were against the Mafia gang. The way it was done was to select the victim and invite him to a dinner and afterwards do him up.
 Caruso said afterwards that he did not like to commit murder, but was willing to rob, so he went to the Italian church and swore before the altar that he would have nothing more to do with the Mafia. Subsequently, however. he was frightened back, with the result of losing his life. Caruso also said that Rocci and Politz be- longed to the order.

The Need of a Navy.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The naval officers here are making the New Orleans troubles the text for an argument for the rapid strengthening of the navy. Inci- dents like that of Saturday, they say, are likely to occur without warning at any time, and if Italy were disposed to be captious her fine ironclads might lay our coast cities under tribute for any indem- nifty she chose to demand. The threat of sending an ironclad to New Orleans, so offensive to national dignity, would be a vain one if this country had strong ves- sells promptly available, but under exist ing conditions it is a threat which might almost be carried out with impunity.

WHAT ITALY IS DOING,
Premier Rudini Makes a Statement to <h>
 Chamber of Deputies.

Sna1nDer or Deputies.
 ROME, March 17.-In the Chamber of Deputies Marquis di Rudini, the Italian Prime Minister, made Q statement with regard to the killing in New Orleans of Italian prisoners who had been acquitted on the charge of having murdered the late Chief of Police Hennessy at that city.
 The Premier informed the Chamber that the Italian government had taken prompt cognizance of the affair, and had at once placed itself in communication with the American government through the Italian Minister at Washington, Baron de Fava.
 In response to its representations Pre- mier Rudini informed the Chamber the Italian government had received through the American Secretary of State, Mir. Blaine, the assurance that President Har- rison recognized the right of Italians resi- dent in the United States to the protec- tion of the government and laws of the country. This assurance was accom- panied by an expression of the profound regret felt by the President at the un- fortunate occurrence.
 In his communication to the Italian government Mir. Blaine also informed it that the President had charged the Gov ernor of Louisiana to take effective meas. ures to guard the Italian population of the city of New Orleans from further vio- fence, and to use every effort to bring the assassins to justice.
 The Premier also informed the Cham Der that United States Minister Porter had called upon him to convey the assur- ance of his governments regret, and to say that as result of explanations, he trusted the friendly relations existing be. tween Italy and America would be drawn even closer.
 When the Premier had concluded his statement, Deputy Breganze said that a note would be taken of the Ministers statement.
 Deputy Ferrais urged that the govern ment demand from the United States in- demnity for the families of the victims of the New Orleans mob.

LINGO VERY COOL.
The Sensational Murder Trial at Camden
 Grawing to 8 Close.

CAMDEN, N., J., March 1.-The State finished it's cross-examination of Lingo for the Miller murder, and the last wit ness will be called this afternoon.
 The questions put to Lingo were search ing, but he made his answers in a cool, deliberate way, and did not at any time appear to be confused. In answer to a question as to why he had cut off his moustache, he said it was done on the ad- vice of his lawyers, who told him to shave his face clean. Prosecutor Jenkins or dered him to give a practical demonstra- tion of the manner in which he cut corn, so as to show the jury how he inflicted the wound upon his hand.
 The last question was asked of the de- fendant and he was excused at precisely 12 o'clock, after being on the stand seven hours altogether, and nearly all of the time under a rigid cross-examination. The defence then put witnesses on the stand to impeach the testimony of Wilder, the insurance agent, and intro duced further expert medical testimony.
