NO NOTICE RECEIvED.
Blaine Nursing His Gout snd Not to Be
Hurried,

HURRIED.
WASHINGTON, April 1l.-Secretary
Blaine was indisposed today, and con-
fined to his room by an attack of gout.
In the course of the afternoon the presi-
dent walked over and consulted with
the secretary respecting diplomatic
matters that require action during the
presidents approaching absence from
Washington.
1t is now matter of positive knowl-
edge that the Italian government has
not sent this government or any of its
representatives d notification that
reply is expected to Marquis Rudini's
note within any specified time. 1t is not
customary in diplomacy for any nation
to undertake to dictate the date of cor
respondence coming from another ma
ton, and had Italy adopted this course
it would certainly be regarded with UNI
bragg by our own government, and
would excite great surprise among the
diplomats Of other nations whose Gus
toms are regulated by unwritten but
almost immutable laws.
As stated in Secretary Blaine's letter
to Marquis Imperiali, the government
of the United States proposes to deal
with the questions at issue, earnestly,
but with caution ard deliberation.
The department of state is now con-
tentine itself with specific inquiry
into the history of the antecedents of
the New Orleans victims. 1t proposes
to show the Italian government the ex-
tent of the evil of unrestricted immigra-
tion from which the United States is
now suffering, and the purpose neces-
states Blaine's dealing with the char
acter of considerable element
of our population which has
largely been recruited from Italy.
Some interesting statistics are in the
course of preparation, that will touch
with blunt directness upon a number of
murders and outrages committed in re-
cent years in the United States by mem
bers of the Malta and other secret
Italian organizations, and upon
the vendettas that are imported
into the United States to the
disturbance of peace, and involving the
peace of our taxpayers in the prosecu-
ton of the malefactors. Time is re-
quired to compile these facts, and the
department will take the necessary time.
In high official circles there has been
no change in opinion that the New Or
leans matter is being manipulated in
Italy to influence Italian politics.

THE COKE STRIKE.
Much Agitation Needed to Keep Up the
Strikers Spirits.

Much Agitation Needed to Keep Up the
Strikers Spirits.
SCoTTDALE, Pa, April 1.-THE strik-
ers' convention wound up this evening.
Mass meetings are to be held daily at
the principal points in the region. Stir
ring addresses ere to be delivered and
strong efforts made to bolster up the
dropping courage OF the strikers. On
the question of remaining out there was
unity Of expression, though nearly
every delegate present hoped for an
early conference and satisfactory settle
ment. This seems very remote possi-
bility, however. The operators will
make no overtures for conference, and
the men have determined not to do so.
The convention passed resolutions de-
claring they were law-abiding citizens
and orderly delegates. They counsel
the law. All criticise Captain Loar
severely.
The coke companies will make gen.
eral effort to resume Monday morning,
and lively times are expected. More

strikers families throughout the region
today.
MOUNT PLEASANT, Pa, April 11.-Un-
easiness prevails among the cokers to-
day. 1t was expected that yesterdays
convention would settle their strike, but
the resolution to continue the fight had
q depressing effect.
The Eighteenth regiment left for home
today, leaving the Tenth regiment on
duty. One Thousand men are said to be
ready to return to work at Morewood
next week.
The arrest Of rioters still goes on. At
least 200 informations are out and over
100 arrests have been made.

and Denver.
OMAHA, April 1l.-Only twelve Bur-
lington switchmen have struck here,
and their places have been filed with
out any serious trouble. The strikers
visited the yards today and persuaded
two OF the new men to quit, but no vio-
lence was attempted. The strikers state
that they struck because they were de-
MED the right to join the union. One
OF the men stated that Yard Master
Davis had said he had received orders
to hire no union men. The yard master
positively denies this.
DENVER, April 1.-THE switchmen,
both passenger and freight, of the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, in this
city, struck this morning in sympathy
with the strikers at Lincoln and Omaha.
Their places were quickly filed, and no
delay in handling freight resulted.
Later-The striking Burlington switch
men at this point are only about twenty
five in number. The grievance is the
same as that which caused the strike at
Lincoln and Omaha. The officials assert
that the places were all filled today and
that freight is being handled promptly.
The strikers, however, declare the COM
pany have only one switch engine at
work, operated by the yard master and
his assistants.
LINCOLN, April 1.-THE strike OF the
Burlington switchmen in this city is not
apparently causing much trouble. The
officials of the switchmen's and train
mems brotherhoods are in the city, and
were conferring all day, with what re-
suit is not yet known.
CHICAGO, April 1.-THE officials of the
Burlington road say there is no reason
for apprehension that the strike on the
western lines of the system will extend
to Chicago. 1t is evident, however, that
apprehensions that they may feel. The
supreme council of the order of railway
employees will meet here Monday, and,
it is understood, the advisability of or
dering general strike on the Burlington
system will be considered.

Associated Press Dispatches.

ROME, April 1.-THE principal topic
OF conversation today has been the lat
est report put in circulation last even
ing to the effect that unless the Ameri-
can government made a speedy reply to
Premier Rudini's last note, Minister
Porter would be politely requested to
leave Rome, and the Italian legation be
recalled from Washington. Such an at
titude on the part of the Italian govern
ment seemed so unreasonable, in view
of all recent developments, that last
nights report was at first generally dis
credited. Many of the newspapers,
however, today gave it prominence. and
asserted the belief that it was substan-
tally correct. They say that America
will be allowed until April 14th to re-
ply. The original report fixed today as
the limit.
The original source of the report
seems to give it increased plausibility.
This, it is learned, was prominent
member of The chamber Of deputies,
who is an ardent supporter of Rudini,
and believed to share his confidence.
Whether or not the premier has
actually decided already upon the ex-
treme course indicated, it is unquestion-
able that this course is under discussion
in high government circles, and meets
with favorable comment. 1t may be
that the deputy who started the report
supposed a decision had been reached,
when the subject was really only being
considered; and 1t may be that the re-
port was given out to test public opinion
before the cabinet should commit itself
absolutely to so grave step.
Dispatches from America hint that
Secretary Blaine has already prepared
his answer, and that it is thought likely
he has already sent it to Rome, instead
of through Marquis Imperiali.

Two More Judges Arrested--The Can
vass Proceeding Slowly.
CHICAGO, April 1.-THE board of
election commissioners met today for
the purpose of taking up the canvass Of
thevo cast at the city election Tues.
uuy, Tns board proceeded to hear evi.
dence in the matter of the alleged mis-
conduct of Dennis Sheehan, one of the
judges of election, for whose arrest a
warrant was issued yesterday on behalf
OF the chairman of the Republican cam
paign committee. s. H. Harris, one of
the Republican judges, testified to Shee-
hans breaking into the box after it had
been locked and sealed. Harris said he
was informed there WAS a conspiracy to
destroy the ballots and poll books.
Sheehan testified that the whole trouble
arose from the fact that Harris wanted
to run things to suit himself,
and did not propose to let the
Democratic Judges have any voice
in the matter. He admitted that
he broke the box with a hammer,
but said it was with no intention of
fraud. The investigation was laid over
until after the completion of the can
vass. In the meantime Sheehan was
locked up in Jail, After an hour he was
released on bail.
The board then turned it's attention
to the canvass of the votes. After going
over the First ward the board adjourned
until Monday morning. The result in
this ward as canvassed showed loss of
twenty votes by Cregier, of five by
Washburn and of two by Harrison.
Warrants were issued this evening for
two more judges of election-Cu Cummings
and Flaherty = serious charges of
crooked work being preferred.

The Bostonians last night ended q

people of this city, and most profit
able one to the management and the
company. The house has been literally
packed all week long, and the largest
audiences of the week were those OF

matinee, and all the aisles were filed
with chairs to accommodate the crowds
of people who desired to hear the music
once more. 1t was the fourth time it
was on for the week, and many were
present who had heard it three times
before. The closing performance was

greatly enhanced the perfectness of the
performances. A bon voyage to you,

ITALIAN BRAvADo.
The Effete Monarchy Represented to be
In q Fighting Mood.

New YORK, April Ill Eco de
Italia has the following editorial: 1t is
now nearly month since the Italian
government sent its first note to the
cabinet at Washington, asking for
equitable and immediate reparation for
the Italian citizens cowardly murdered
in New Orleans. Harrison and Blaine,
before the minister who brought that for
NAL and peremptory note of Marquis Di
Rudini, shed in an admirable duet
of Americanized bufoonery, tears of
sorrow on the poor victims, but, in con-
clusion, to Italy, insulted and violated
in the existing treaties, they gave no
other satisfaction than presidential and
ministerial tears. But treacherous
tears, those of the American minister
included, are not current on the Italian
market. The most cunning Blaine,
having once dried up his obligatory
tears, thought that the facts. Of the
New Orleans affair could be set
tied in an easy and friendly
manner. But the New Orleans
outrage could not be SO slightly put
aside. The slaughter at New Orleans
and the behavior of the Washington
government have raised in all the
European cabinets an awful question.
The Omitted States signed treaties with

that he is still Italian minister at Wash

DR.. Roversi further stated he believes
Secretary Blaine is the "most smart

been altogether too tricky; that his
policy exceeded the limits Of diplomacy.
Referring to the recent dispatches

them fictitious, or else sent either by

them into action they said they could not
consider them, as they were bound by
private engagements to their states.
Can this ambiguity and violation Of
covenants last? All Europe has backed
the note of Marquis di Rudini. A re-
cent cable dispatch has proven to the
American government that the Italian
cabinet ia hot Joking, and that It is
quite edial 10 the occasion in this emer-
gency. The United States must learn
that to hold position among Civilized
nations, it is not enough to have millions
of dollars, but it is necessary, as the
first condition, sine qua non, to be hon.

Two Pairs Of Shoes In One.

A novelty in the shoe manufacturing
line is of Eaglish invention, and con-
sists of removable sole and top lift
which can be changed when worn
without consulting the cobbler.
The feature of the invention is said
10 be metal plate riYeted to the bot
tom of the shoe when lasted. The
sole, in the shape of tap sole, is
provided with stitched welt. Under
the welt is q thin band or strip of
metal which slides under the edges of
the plate riveted on the bottom of the
shoe.
The shank is of steel, japanned
black, and the joint end of the half
sole is countersunk. to fit under the
shank where it is fastened and held in
place by two screws. The top piece
of the heel is fastened in by three
screws.
1t is proposed TO make shoes by this
method, and furnish an extra pair of
soles and top lifts with each pair of
shoes, as well as make the soles for
sale separately. Any one can fake
out the screws when the first soles
are worn and slip on new pair of
soles, which it is said are finished
better and look better than the work
of the ordinary cobbler. = [Rhoeboth
