The other was Mr.. Jonathan a. Lane,

New England as an able business man.

radical views on the subject of taxation.

Empress Frederick Returns to Germ.

PARIS, Feb. Observation-Disclosures
Frederick, of Germany, left Paris this
morning. No unpleasant incident
marked her departure. The gravity of
the situation however, can be judged
from the fact that acting under advice
from high quarters, the Empress
changed the line of her route for fear of
being insultcd by that portion of the
populace which had gradually worked
itself into fever heat of rage ovor tho
presence of the imperial visitor in
Paris.

mInist.r Porter,s Position.

ROME, April ALI endeavors to OBJ
tain the opinion upon the present crisis
between the United States and Italy oil
the Hon. A. G. Porter, the United States
Minister here, have proved futile. Mr..
Porter declares that the rules OF inter
national comfy preclude an expression
OF opinion by minister placed in the
position that Mr. Porter is now placed
in. 1t is learned, however, from reliable
sources that the United States minister
has done much TO pacify the Italian
governments; that he has won over to his
way OF thinking the other ministers, sew
eral OF whom have been trying to induce
the Italian Premier, the Marquis di Ru-
dini, to be less hasty.
The idea OF war is secuted here In
diplomatic and government circles.
Even Baron Fava'S final withdrawal Is
not definitely decided upon. II is said
that even II Baron Fava is withdrawn II
will be done only as the most forcible
protest known In diplomacy, and not as
forerunner Of a conflict between the
United States and Italy. The Italian
cabinet ministers are In receipt OF j
large number Of cablegrams and Letters
from prominent Italians in New YORK
urging moderation upon the Italian gov
ernment In its treatment OF the New
Orleans trouble.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Secretary
Blaine's letter to Marquis Imperiali is
very strongly commended by men OF all
shades Of politics here, and the opinion
IS widely expressed that IL will bring the
Italian government to calmer consid-
Grafton OF the matter. There is con-
siderable public indignation expressed
at the attitude taken in the matter by
Italian Americans, who have long been
citizens Of the United States, and are
now taking sides with the Italian gov
ernment and demanding satisfaction.
There is feeling that IL these men are
American citizens, have taken the oath
of allegiance TO the United States, they
are no longer subjects Of Italy, whose
duty it is to take arms in her defense.
As one gentleman in public life re-
marked: Italy would have no diff
Guilty in landing troops in America;
they could be landed under our immi-
grafton laws"
Representative Farquahar, OF New
York, speaking of the correspondence
published this morning, said he be-
lieved Mr.. Blaine's letter would appeal
to the good sense of every foreign ma
tion.
Representative Dalzel said this
morning that he had read Mr.. Blaine's
letter, but the only comment he wanted
to make Oh the episode was that this
letter was highly creditable to Mr.
Blaine.
General Grosvenor said that II the
Government had any right 10 interfere
in a matter like the Italian tragedy,
then it had an equal right to interfere
in every case where the murder of a
negro for political reasons occurs in the
South during Federal election. The
Italian Government, said he. 'must
surely realize that If the National gov
ernment cannot protect the lives OF its
own citizens or interfere to punish
their murderers IL cannot do so for
fOreigherS.

TIE ITALIAN PRRkIRR'S LAST DISPATCH TO
SECRETARY BLAINE
OF Very Temperate Charactsr-B1citsmsnt Owe
Favas Recall Dying Out-Ths Strange Clause
in the Treaty with Ialy-The European
Press Sides With King Eumberi

ROME, April 2.-The Marquis di
Rudnl, the Italian Premier, to-day
sent another cable message 10 the
United States, on the subject of the
New Orleans troubles. This message
is addressed 10 the Marquis Imperiali di
Francavilla, the Secretary Of the
Italian Legation at Washington, and In
whose hands the current business Of the
Italian Legation was placed when Baron
Fava, the Italian Minieter, presented
his letters of recall Marquis di Rudini
instructs the Marquis Imperiali di Fran
cavilla 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 a
prompt institution Of the regular judi
cial proceedings against the guilty par
ties at New Orleans. He adds that IL
would have been absurd to claim pun
ishment for the offenders without the
guarantees afforded by regular trial.
The diplomatic incident, the Marquis di
Rudini, continuing, says, can only be
considered closed when the federal gov
ernment has declared in precise terms
that prosecutions will be commenced.
In the meantime the Italian government
takes cognizance OF the Federal govern
ment's declaration acknowledging the
fact that compensation is due to the
families OF the victims by virtue Of the
treaty existing between the two coun-
tries

TWO MORE DEAD
Aud Others Thought TO BE Dying---The
situation Ominous.

MI. PLEASANT. PA, April 2.-Late
tonight word was received here that
two more men concerned in the riot had
died in strikers houses, near the More
wood works, where they had been drag
ced by their fellow rioters. Their
names could no be learned. These two
deaths make nine in all that are known,
but there is no doubt others are either
dead or in a critical condition, as the
guards had orders to fire TO kill, and
evidently did so. Reports late tonight
from all over the region indicate fear
fully dangerous and excited condition OF
affairs, and the word that the military
was soon to be on guard was received by
the law abiding labor officials and coke
operators alike with the liveliest evil
dence OF satisfaction.
AT Leisenriug, Constable Campbell
attempted to arrest john Lushka, a
Russian, for completely in the bomb
throwing that occurred there Monday.
Lushka fercely resisted aud called out
i'm his native tongue for aid. A fellow
countryman who was on the outside OF
the office where LuShka had been
trapped, gave the alarm and in few
moments there was a bowling mob OF
foreigners surrounding the place.
Lushka leaped through the office win
dow carrying with him pair OF hand
cuFs. Several shots were fired after
him but he escaped. Tonight the
warrant was placed in the
hands OF Sheriff Mccormick, and
with large party Of men he has started
for Leisenring to make the arrest.
Lushka and his companions are armed
and a fight will certainly follow unless
the man is surprised. Labor officials
deny the men at Morewood were killed
for good cause, and warrants have
been issued for the deputies on the
charge OF murder A large number OF
deputies have already been arrested,
and labor leaders say they will not rest
until they are taken care Of.

Federal Court Matters.


CLARKsBURG, w. VA, April Fed
eral Circuit and District Court is in ses-
sion here, with a number Of civil and
criminal cases on the dockets. A few
OF the old cases were stricken from the
docketS, in some cases nOlleS were en-
tered and one or two cases went 10 trial
to-day.
Some Of the fraudulent election cases
Of 'Ss are still not disposed OF, and
capiaseS returnable forthwith were Is
sued in all Of these where no appearance
and plea was entered.
An old lady aged - years, residing
near RowleSburg, Preston coun-
ty, was arraigned and tried to-
day on charge Of unlawful
retailing Of the ardent. No defense was
made, her case was left to the mercy OF
the court, who fined her 500 and sus-
pended Imprisonment to keep her from
repeating the oifenSe. 1t is not at all
probable that she will ever again trans
gresS the liquor laws. Her old age and
intirmities doubtless had something t.
do with making the sentence 4 fine

Military March to the Scene.

PIrTsBURG, PA, April 2.-The news
OF the riot at Morewood and the suose'
quent order from the Governor calling
out the Tenth and Eighteenth regi-
ments, created intense excitement in
this city. The order from Governor
Pattison was received at noon, and by ,
O'Clock the Eighteenth Regiment was
prepared for marching orders. The
latter were received about O'Clock this
evening, and an hour later the full regi-
ment, under command Of Col. Norman
Smith, started for the scene Of to-day's
riot. Two companies of the Tenth Regi-
ment also accompanied Col. Smith.
As the men killed were all unnatural
lied foreigners, the possibility OF inter-
national complications arising were
freely discussed. Austrian Consul Max
Schamberg, of this city, received tel
egram this afternoon informing him
that several of the miners killed were
subjects Of the Austrian government.
He replied that he would investigate
the matter, but refused TO say anything
further

American constitution he must ignor,
American geography, but must allow
reasonable time for inquiries. We ca
scarcely believe that the Washington
government will acquiesce in the view
that IL is impossible TO deal with the
question, especially as the party Ia
power successfully asserted the author
ity OF the Union over all the States al
the time Of the civil war, and is pledged
to make the federal power supreme Oh
all international matters; and We be-
lieve that Marquis DiRudidi is holding
to popular clamor. The rupture is re-
grettable, but war is not likely. But
what II America should reply to Baron
Fava's menace by prohibiting Italian i'm
migrants?"
The PdU Nal Gazette, this afternoon,
commenting on the recall of Baron Fa-
va, says that 1t is probable that the rup-
ture between Italy and the United
States will end, after such an interval as
the dignities of diplomacy demands, in
a compromi.e. Italy demanded justice
and compensation. The United States
will probably give the latter and deny
the former. The incident will not add
so the reputation Of the United States.
1t has revealed the weak place in the
American constitution, with all its pre-
tensions. Mr.. Blaine would be glad
enough, perhaps, to depose King Lynch,
but Louisiana is OF different opinion.
The foreign elements in the United
States give them some security as well
as involving them in some danger. 1t
is improbable that Italy will attack the
United States, when, like other coun-
tries, she has given so many hostages TO
the United States.

RUDINI's LATEST
Message Has IA ouieting Enect--Friendl
Relations ay be Resumed.

Relations ay be Resumed
WASHINGTON, April 1.-The Ms.quis
Imperiali was seen late this evening but
was not prepared 10 make any state
ment as to the latest phase Of the Italian
affair. He has not yet transmitted the
Marquis di Rudinl's latest message TO
Secretary Blaine, but he expects to do
so in very short time.
1t was said tonight by persons who
have taken great deal Of interest In
this diplomatic ENHANCEMENT, but who
have been disposed to look on the bright
side of the case, that the message Of
Marquis di Rudini, (the substance Of
which was given in the Associated
Press dispatch from Rome), clears
the situation TO some extent, and
opens way for the establish
ment OF the former amicabe
relation between the two governments II
Italy does not intend to carry the mat
ter to the last extremity. The tone Of
the message would indicate that the
representations of the attitude of the
United States, made In Secretary
Baine's letter to the Marquis Imperiali,
and the explanation OF the status Of
affairs which it is presumed Minister
Porter made to the Italian foreign
Office, had been well received by the
Italian Ministry, and that Italy was de-
posed TO await the regular and orderly
procedure of the judicial institutions
OF this country. 1t is now thought that
should affairs take no unforeseen and
untoward turn, the present excite
ment will subside and that
there is a possibility OF
harmonious relations being restored
without the occurrence OF anything
more serious than the embarrassment
and friction due TO the fact that there
had been at past period, a partial sew
erance OF the friendly relations between
the two governments.

A sIsGUL4R CLAUSE
In the Tresty With Italy, Which Diplo
mats Say Would Not Stand

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The Post says:
The treaty with Italy to which Baron
Fava alludes in his letter to Secretary
Blaine was negotiated at Florence. 1t
is quite lengthy document and con-
tains the following interesting para
graph:
ARTICLE XXI.-lf by any fatality
which cannot be expected, and which
may God avert, the two contracting
parties should be engaged in war with
each other, they have agreed, and they
agree now for then, that there shall be
allowed the term OF six months TO the
merchants on the coast and in the ports OF
each other, and the term OF one year to
those who dwell in the interior to ar
range their business and transport
their effects wherever they please with
the safe conduct necessary TO protect
them and their property until they ar
rive at the ports designated for their
embarkation. All women and children,
scholars OF every faculty, cultivators OF
the earth, artisans and mechanics, man
ufacturers and fishermen, unarmed and
inhabiting the unfortitied towns and
villages, or others whose occupation
are for the common subsistence and
benefit OF mankind, shall be allowed TO
continue their respective emplOyments
and shall not be -aolested IN
their persons, nor shall their houses
or goods be burned or otherwise
destroyed nor their fields wasted by the
armed force OF the belligerent in whose
power, by the events Of war, they may
happen to fall: but il it be necessary
that anything should be taken from
them for the use Of such belligerent,
the same shall be paid for at reason
able price.
And il is declared that neither the
pretense that war disSolves treaties, nor
apy other pretense whatever, shall be
considered as annulling, nor SuSpending
this article; but on the contrary, that
the state OF war is precisely that for
which it is provided, and during which
it's provisions are to be sacredly OBJ
served as the most acknowledged ooll-
cations in the law Of nations"
The existence OF this article was not
known by the diplomats and others TO
whom ii was shown last night. Even
such an experienced treaty-maker as
William II. Trescott said that he could
not understand how it came to be In
serted, and Representative McCreary,
who has made q study Of all the treaties
negotiated by this government, said
that 1t was the most remarkable clause
that had ever come within his expert
ence. 81 do not like to say that it Is
mere buncombe," he added, land yet it
certainly would not stand moment in
case OF war, Notwithstanding all its
solemn and sacred protestations."

ON A REEF.
The Warner Miller Party Wrecked, But
All Are Safe.

GREYTowN, NICARAGUA, April q
Warner Muler'S party was wrecked yes
terday on Roncady reef.
The gunboat Petrol has gone to the
rescue. All of the party are reported
safe.
Roncado Island is about 100 miles to
the northeast OF Greytown, the point for
which Mr.. Miller's party was bound, as
here is the eastern terminus OF the
Nicaragua Canal. The island is small
and rocky, Of cora formation.
The whole coast OF Eastern Nicara-
qua is dangerous one, and the harbor
Of Greytown has been barred to naviga-
tion by the swift waters Of the San Juan
river washing out the sand and forming
a bar in the harbor. Vessels have no
anchor outside this bar, and one Of the
canal company'S greatest works is a
great breakwater at the mouth of the
river to remove this difficulty.
