North Sligo election began at A. M. to-day
and closed at P. NJ. The constituency

not be known until 2 P. NJ. tomorrow. A
large proportion of the voters are illiterate, a
fact that it is thought will tell in favor of
the McCarthyites. The weather has been
fine all day, and, as the workingmen were
given an extra hour at dinner time, the poll
ing was very heavy at midday.
Contingents from Gallery, Shand Hill, St.
Johns and other McCarthyite strongholds
marched into town, in procession, four
abreast, headed by a number OF priests
Several petty fights diversified the proceed
ings. A scene took place in the Sligo court
house, during the forenoon, between Parnell
and newspaper proprietor named McHugh.
McHugh disputed Parnell's right to be in
the polling booth, whereupon Parnell told
him to mind his own business. The sheriff
intervened and allowed Parnell to remain.
Afterward Parnell lett for a drive round the
constituency.
Advices from outlying districts announce
steady voting and absence of all disorder or
even excitement. Mr.. Davitt, who has been
visiting all the chief places in the constitu-
ency, is confident that Parnell will be
beaten by at least 2, 900 votes.
At an election to fill vacancy in the

RUDINI ANSWERS BLAINE,
THEREBY REALLY RE0PENING DIPL0-
MATIc NEGOTIATIONS

The italian Premier Eagerly Bites at the
Suggestion of an Indemnity-A Guaran
tee That Proceedings Will Be Instituted
What He Now Wants
ROME, April 2.-The Marquis di Rudini,
the Italian Premier, to-day sent another
cable message to the United States on the
subject of the New Orleans troubles This
message is addressed to the Marquis I'm
periali di Francavilla, the Secretary of the
Italian Legation at Washington, into whose
hands the current business OF the Italian
Legation was placed when Baron Fava, the
Italian Minister, presented his letters of re-
call. Marquis di Rudini instructs the
Marquis Imperiali di Francavilla to hand
the message referred to to Mr.. Blaine. The
message is in reply to Mr.. Blaine's last
note and in it the Marquis di Rudini says that
Italy has asked nothing but prompt institu-
tion of the regular judicial proceedings against
the guilty parties at New Orleans.
He adds that 1t would have been absurd to
claim punishment for tine offenders without the
guarantees afforded by a regular trial. The
diplomatic incident, the Marquis di Rudini,
continuing. says can only be considered closed
when the Federal Cover nment has declared in
precise terms that prosecutions will be COM
menced. In the meantime, the Italian Govern
ment takes cognizance of the Federal Govern
ments declaration acknowledging the fact
that compensation is due to the families Of the
victims by virtue of the treaty existing between
the two countries.
The italian Cabinet Ministers are in receipt
of a large number of cablegrams and letters
from prominent Italians in New York urging
moderation upon the Italian Government in
its treatment of the New Orleans trouble.

Chamber of Commerce in this city, said that
he regarded Baron Fava's action as ''some-
what precipitate. 1t was a mere fash in the
PAN which would end in nothing"
Signor Bonacina added: There is not
much sympathy among the Italians in London
with the men who were lynched in New Or
leans. The Italians here are of the opinion
that there is no doubt that the men charged
with the murder o. Chief Hennessy were guilty.
Still they say. if the lynchers go unpunished,
respectable Italians in the United States are
not safe. The United States is blamabIe for
failing to protect the jury which tried the men
who were slain from intimidation"

Sam at Once
Thy DUNLAP's CABLE CoNPANY.l
ROME, April 2-The feeling here is still very
bitter with regard to the lynching of the Ital.
Ians in New Orleans. Mr.. Porter, the Amer
ican Minister to Italy. is doing all he can in
order to preserve peaceful relations between
the United States and the Italian Government,
but IL must be confessed that the sltuat tion is
very critical Although not wishing to break
off the good relations which exist with the
United States, Italy yet remains firm in Its de-
mand for reparation and the punishment of the
assassins of the Italians. Mr. Porter is having
a continual series of interviews with the Mar
Quis di Rudini. and as tire result of them he
told reporter to-day that he hopes soon to be
able to smooth matters over.
Great surprise is expressed in political circles
here at Mir. Baines refusal to give to Baron
Fava an assurance that the trial of the assassins
should take place. The Italian press gets
every day more indignant on the question.
The Don ChiSciotte this morning says: THE
Government must act" 1t then goes on 10 ask
In what practical and positive manner can We
give vent to our Indignation. We have a splen-
did army. magnificent navy. and we fear no

will end in a compromise. The Italian Govern
ment has demanded two things justice and
compensation. The Americans, we imagine,
will give the latter but deny the former, and,
therefore, that moment the matter will end;
but it will not increase the amity between the
two peoples, nor the reputation of the United
States. The fact is the incident has found out
the weak place in the American Constitution,
and perhaps also in American pretentions."
The 81 James Gazette adds: "a great war
has more than once arisen from less provoca-
tion. The quarrel as it stands. is perfect.
Each side is anxious to meet the other half
way but neither is able to make overtures." In
concluding its review of the case, the Gazette
applies the incident as a warning to England
not to grant home rule to Ireland.

GERMAN HOSTILITY
To the United States Expressed in Very
Plain Terms

BERLIN, April 2-The National Zeitunq to-
day says that Baron Fava's note to Mr.. Blaine
is perfectly correct. adding: at is the duty of
any government to prosecute whenever such a
horrible crime as the New Orleans lynching is
committed. and it is its duty also to recognize
the principle of indemnity the families of
the victims. Italy is quite right in not wishing
to discuss American institutions and in calling
attention to the principles of international
law.
The VoStsche Zeitun0 to-day remarks that
the italian news is somewhat reassuring, in
face of the hostile tone of the American press,
and hopes that more reliance can be placed
upon the former than "on the bombastic utter
ances of Mr.. Blaine, who is accustomed to hide
weak reasons with strong words"
