OF course everything was carried to ex
treme lengths and the grotesqueness o
the affair kept the audience in contin

the chairs and tables used in the stage
setting were clothed in loose fitting gar

Washington dispatch, 18th: Secretary
Blaine completed his reply to the last
letter from the italian government yes
terday and sent a copy Of it to Marquis
Imperiali last night for transmission to
Marquis de Rudini. 1t is understood tC
be long and complete answer to al
questions raised in the last note from
Italy, being much more voluminOus
than any of the preceding letters. Sec
retary Blaine in his note has not with
drawn in the least from his original at
titude in declaring the law, will take its
course and cannot he hurried; that in
demnity will probably be granted the
families of the men killed at New Or
leans in the cases where it is proved
they were Italian subjects and are en-
titled thereto, but this proof must be
undoubted, and that the federal govern
ment cannot trespass upon the perOg
atives of the state which now controls
action in the case.
The New Orleans grand jury is expect
ed to report the coming week and
among other things it is said the COL
fession of Palitz will be used in the re-
port. Politz confessed to his own inno-
cence and said he joined the Malta un-
der the impression it was benevolent
society. He was present at the meeting
when Hennessy's death was decided up
on and was ordered to carry the guns in
a sack to Monasterio's shanty but re-
fused. He did not know Of the killing
until the Sunday following, but he af-
forwards learned the details from Mon
asterio and they were substantially the
same as claimed by the state upon the
trial duplicating Saffedi, Marchesi, Bag
netto and Monasterio as Hennessy' s
slayers. The state did not use the con-
fession because it had such direct
proof of Polltz's guilt of the killing
which his story denied Poltiz is said
to have had brother which closely re-
sembled him and who has not been
heard from since the killing and is pre-
hi fO1x Icl ho
the Identification might have been trans
ferred to him and Poltiz's confession
would have formed an important link in
the chain of evidence.
A Pittsburg dispatch of the 9th says:
The interstate convention Of miners and
operators came to an inharmonius end
this evening. After a fierce
battle of words and opinions further
talk was declared profitless and an ad-
journment was made sine die. This ac-
ton means practically that the inter
state agreement has been abolished and
the amicable and harmonious relations
that have existed between the two classes
for the past five years are broken off
and may not be resumed. It also means
that $4,000 mine workers in Ohio and
the 1st of May, affecting hundreds of
thousands of persons indirectly. AS the
mine workers Of the country will also de-
mand eight hours day, a continuation
IF the work after May ! now seems al
most impossible. Two great organiza-
lions, the Knights of Labor and Fedora
ton of Labor, are back of the men, and
their money will be at their disposal.
W. p. Rend of Chicago was the only one
If the operators favoring the eight hour
lay. The others, in substance, said they
could not stand it.; that the cost of pro-
luction would be increased by it, etc.
After the adjournment Of the conference
The miners held a meeting and decided
10 demand an advance on May l equiva-
ent to 10 cents per ton on basis of an
eight hour day, failing which strike
will follow.

intense was the heat, but cheered on by
superiors they managed to

iremen was heightened by the fact that
