Three of the Avengers on the Grand Jury
Listening to Evidence.
New ORLEANS, March 27.-The grand
jury spent three hours yesterday ex-
aiming witnesses relative TO the lynch
ing of the Italians. Capt. Davis, of the
parish prison, testified that the only two
men he identified positively were Wick
life and Parkerson who led the assault
ON the prison gates.
A. B. French, wealthy cotton ship
per, who was in the prison serving a
term of six days for assaulting lawyer,
identified a great many persons, as well
as three of the grand jurors, who were
seated around a long table listening to
his story. French did not attempt to
protect anybody. but told his story in
detail to the extent of naming some of
the men who handled Winchesters and
six-shcoters.
The other witnesses had bad memo
ries and the most of them were unable
to. swear that they could identify any
body. The grand jury adjourned at 1
o'clock until Monday morning, when
the inquiry will be resumed. If the
grand jury concludes to indict any body
there will be a scene almost as extraOr-
binary as the uprising itself, for no less
than 900 men who participated in the
mobs work will march to the court
house and deliver themselves into the
custody of the sheriff.

To get the total population Of these
states, 2,5S1 Chinese, 100 japanese and
s,2O7 Indians should be added to the
sum of the white and colored popula-
ton Several tables are given which
show the movements of the colored ele-
ment of the population during the last
half century. An inspection of the
table makes it evident. says the bull
letin, that there has been no extended
movement of this element since the
time of the civil war. Indeed, with the
exception of the District of Columbia,
the border states appear to have lost
rather than gained, and during the last
decade there becomes perceptible
southwark movement of the colored
element from the border states into
those bordering the gulf, particularly
into Mississippi and Arkansas, where
they have increased proportionately to
the whites
Let the states under consideration be
divided into two groups. The first COM
prising Delaware, Maryland, District
of Columbia, Virginia, West Virginia,
North Carolina, kentucky, Tennessee,
Missouri and Kansas; and the second
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ala
bama, Mississippi, Louisiana. Texas
and Arkansas. Now, the increase of
the whites in the first of these
groups from 1850 to 1890 was at the rate
of 81 per cent, while the colorcd ele-
ment was but ). 5 per cent In the second
of these groups the rate of increase of

MILD AS MACARONI,

The italian Government Quite Phllosophic
Over the Malta Lynching.
LONDON, March 3O.-The Times cor
respondent at Rome says: ''The ex-
citement caused by the lynching at New
Orleans has completely subsidized. The
government fully appreciates the diff
lficulties under which the American
government labors and it is not likely
that any pressure will be brought
to bear upon the latter. It is
convinced the American government
will readily make the compensation
which justice demands. Public opinion
goes to show that now sympaty for the
Malta is manifested. Many Italians
say that it will be well if other men,
bers of the Malta were treated in the
same way"
The correspondent adds: ''There has
never been the slightest pretext for an
appeal to force in connection with the
affair"

chief object is the reduction of the
number of saloons and the restric-
ton of the liquor traffic. Through
this society, of which he was presi-
dent from its foundation, and
apart from it he did much in this great
work, influencing legislation and the
municipal government in so far as it
had relation to the regulation of intern
