JOSIE MANSFIELD HuNcogo.
Tom Kennedy. the SoeCd Crook, Secures
 Her Valuable Diamond Ring.


 Her Valuable DiGmOnd Ring.
 LONDON, March 16.-Tom Kennedy, the accomplished Americun crook who has just completed two years term in a German prison, has buncoed no less a person than Josie Mansfield, the heroine or otherwise of tho Stokes-Fisk affair.
 Miss Mansfield has been living for the last 10 years in Paris with her mother. She was called upon week ago by Ken uedy, who represented himself to be John Ransom, a nephew of the late Charles Ransom, who carried on the gambling business in New York and Saratoga John Ransom told Miss Mans field that he was in desperate circum- stances, and he desired to borrow hum Ired francs or so to go to Monte Carlo to try his luck. Miss Mansfield loaned him the money, and in a few days he return ed with one or two hundred-franc notes wrapped around large roll of white paper and paid the debt. He said he had won several hundred thousand francs at the wheel, and he considered his luck en- tirely due to her kindness in lending him the money for his dead unCles sake.
 He took her into his confidence and in- formed her that he was about to be mar ried to wealthy American girl, and he admired a diamond ring Miss Mansfield wore so much that he determined to have one like it for his fiancee. Accordingly Miss Mansfield loaned him the ring, which was valued at 5000 francs, to take to d ieweller's for a pattern. Kennedy has not got back with it yet. Kennedy has been frequenting the Hotel Henry and other American resorts in Paris for several weeks with another gentleman of easy virtue. who is known in New York by the name of Coleman. There arc many who regret making the acQuaint- ance of the pair in amounts from 100 francs up to the thousands.

THE PRESIDENTS ACTON.
Secretary Blaine Sends a Letter to Cover
 nor NichoIls.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Baron Fava, the Italian Minister, formally brought to the attention of the President the slaugh- ter of the Sicilian prisoners in the parish jail at New Orleans. As result, Secre- tary Blaine sent the following dispatch to Governor Nicholls:
 ''It has been represented to the Presi- dent by the Minister of Italy accredited to this government that among the vic tims of the deplorable massacre which took place in the city of New Orleans were three or more subjects of the King of Italy. Our treaty with that friendly government, which under the Constitu- tion is the supreme law of the land, guarantees to the Italian subjects domi- oiled in the United States the most con stant security for their persons and prop, erty-making them amenable on the same basis as our own citizens to the laws of the United States and of the sev- eral States in their due and orderly ad- ministration.
 ''The President deeply regrets that the citizens of New Orleans should have sc disparaged the purity and adequacy o1 their own judicial tribunals as to trans fer to the passionate judgment of 8 mob, 8 question that should have been ad judged dispassionately and by settled rules of law. The government of the United States must give to the subjects of friendly foreign powers that security which it demands for our own citizens when temporarily under foreign jurisdic tion.
 1t is the hope of the President that you will cooperate with him in main taining the obligations of the United States towards the Italian subjects who may be within the perils of the present excitement, that further bloodshed anC violence may be prevented and that al offenders against the law may be prompt ly brought to justice.

Organizations for the advancement
of farmers interests, that are based
on mooted political questions, have
always swallowed all traces of agri-
culture and left the farmers in the

of government, and this government
has been established too long and
too firmly on democratic principles
to be effected, or its machinery
thrown out of equilibrium, by few

Some experiments are in progress in
the southwest which are attracting much
attention. We refer to the Efforts to pro-
duce rain artifcially which are being
made by officials OF the department of
agriculture in Texas. They are based on
the fact that rain has often followed dis
turbances of the atmosphere produced
by prolonged concussions, as in the case
of severe cannonadlng in battles Ac-
cording to telegraphed report from
Midland, Texas, quantity of explosives
were discharged at a height III the air
by means Of balloons on day when the
air was shown by weather instruments
to be remarkably dry, and when the
barometer pointed OF 'fair." Within q
short time rain began to fall, and Rept
falling for six hours. The experimenters
attribute the rain to the action of the
explosives. The ranchmen are said to
be skeptical as to the connection be-
tween the explosions and the rain, Gen.
Dyrenforth, who is at the head of the
experimenting party, is confident, how
ever, that before long he will convince
the most skeptical that the relation be-
tween them Is one OF cause and effect.
The progress Of the experiments will be
watched with close attention.-Brad-
