lies of the victims in virtue of the
treaty in force between the two coun-
tries What | did say was in answer
to Baron Fava's assertion that the
United states government refused to
take this demand for indemnity into
consideration. / quote nav reply:
"The United States so far from re-
fusing, has distinc ly recognized the
principle of indemnity to those Italian
subjects "who may have been wronged
by violation of the rights secured to
them under the treaty with the
United States concluded February 26,
1891"
"The Marquis Rudini may be as
sured that the United States would
recompense every Italian subject who
might be wronged by violation OF
treaty to which the faith of the United
States is pledged. But this assurance
leaves unsettled the important ques-
ton whether the treaty has been vio-
lated. Upon this the president, with
sufficient facts placed before him, has
taken full time for decision. He DOW
directs that certain considerations on
the general subject be submitted to
the judgment of the Italian govern
ment.

COKE WORKS RESUMING.
The Plants Gradually Getting to
Work Strikers Served
With Notices.

Scottsdale, Pa, April Is. 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 possible.
The Mcclure company concentra-
ted their efforts on their Painter plsnt
and eighty men went to work there
to day. The other DcClure plants at
Lemont, Dopnelly, Diamond, Buck
eye, Rising Sun, Bessemer a'd
Mayfeld are still totally idle however.
The Frick company state that their
shipments to day reached 100 cars of
coke, but the strikers deny this as
usual.
Some twenty eviction notices have
been served at the Trotter plant alone,
and in view of the fact that fully 200
notices have been served throughout
the region it is thought trouble will
come when the warrants are carried
out as the strikers will not 60 peace

Great mass meetings were held at
Gessemer and other points to-day and
at each resolutions were adopted to
hold out to the end. Another enor-
NOUS meeting was held at Fairs to-
night.

HUGE LOSSES BY STORM.
Indians in the West Suffer De.

Herds.

Denver COL, April 13.-Reports
received here yesterday from the
Southern Ute agency are that the
Indians have lost nearly all their
stock by the recent heavy SHOWS,
which covered the ground at a depth
of four feet, and horses and cattle by
the thousands starved to death.
The Mowaches and Capotes had
1900 horses and equally as many
cattle, of which they lost all but Is
per cent. The Apaches ia New Mex
leo, who own the largest herds Of
sheep and horses of any people In
America, lost entire herds.

A WOMAN AND PREACHER.

Reading, Pa, April Is. "A lively
scene took place last evening before
Alderman Kinsnam, when Rev.
Henry Ges ler. a local preacher OF
the Evangelical church, prosecuted
Mrs. Ellen Steiner on a charge of ar
son. Both the preacher and Mrs.
Steiner came from little place called
Waterlqo, and lived opposite to each
other on the same street. Some time
agp Mrs. Steiner notified G, ssler to re-
move a pile of lumber firm the street
opposite h=r house. This he refused
to do. She then went to work during
a night that he was always from home
and threw it over into his garden.
When he came home he threw it back
again. Mrs. Sterner then soaked the
wood with coal oil and set fire to it.
1t at once blazed up very fiercely and
as it was near a stable and other build
ings, the efforts of the population of the
village were required to prevent Its
spread. After bearing the evidence,
the woman was held in $500 bail for
hearing. When she had entered
bail she opened up on the prosecutor
and poured forth TRADE of abouse,
accusing him of gross immoralities on
various occasions, naming persons and
dates. 1t is probable that SANDER
suit and church trial will result.

MISSOURI SENATORSHIP.
Senator COckreIl and Gov. Francis
Will Make a Lively Fight
For 1t.

Col. J. West Goodwin, one of the
leading democratic editors Of Missouri,
is stopping at the Hoffman House.
He says the people of his state are
already taking great interest in SEN
atorlal contest which is to take place
next year, when a successor to Sena-
tor Cockrell will be selected. "The
two leading candidates, he said, evil
be Senator Cpckrell and Governor
Francis. Cockrell has been in the
senate for Is years and has the repu-
tation of being the best campaigner
in the state. Several times there has
been serious tslk of electing some one
else, but when Cockrell got out among
the people the opposition to him al.
ways disappeared. He is gifted with
a most remarkable memory, and can
recall the names of men whom he
knew only when they were children.
The church going people of the state
idolize him. During political contests
at the state capital he has always been
able to accomplish more at his head
quarters by the aid of a box of cigars
that would retail at two for five cents
than other candidates who deal out
champagne and the finest Havanss.
Sat the same time he has never
had to face such an astute politician
as Gov. Francis. That gentleman
has had a remarkably successful ca
reer and is known as hustler He
is man of very decided ability and
would make an excellent senator. He
is wealthy. and has not been afraid
to spend his money for the benefit of
his party. The state has just been
redistricted, as to legislative and sem
atorial districts, and this may operate
in Francis favor. Besides, the Gov
ernor is supposed to be in control of
the party machinery. 1t has been said
that he has made deal with Presi-
dent Hall Of the farmers alliance, by
which that gentleman is to receive the
democratic nomination for governor,
and in return the alliance is to sup.
port Francis in his fight for the sena-
torship. Still, with all these advan-
tages, / believe they will not prove
equal to the ability of Cockrell to kiss
all the ladies in the state and to pass
around his cheap cigars while he tells
each one who takes one how he knew
him when a child.
SIT is certainly a great mistake to
suppose that ex-President Cleveland
has lost his popularity with the Mis-
souri, democracy. They were very
much vexed because he wrote that
letter in opposition to silver, but now
they are talking about his 'magnif-
cent nerve Many of them have con-
cluded that if Cleveland is opposed to
free coinage it must be wrong. The
Missouri democrats are firmly of the
opinion that the ex-president is the
greatest man of his time and, depend |
