WE KILLED A CONSUL,
New Feature OF the Malta Lyncb,nq.

A singular fact in connection with the
Italian matter which has entirely escaped
attention up to the present time is that
one of the leading Italians lynched in
New Orleans was actually at the time of
his death, the recognized consul at the
port of a foreign government, not that
of Italy
Jesse p Macheca, the alleged head OF
the Malta and the most prominent of the
victims of the mob, still stands on the
records of the state department as the
accredited and recognized consul of Bo-
liyia in New Orleans.
He was a wealthy merchant. His firm
of Macheca Bros. still continues the
agency of one of the important steam
ship lines touching at New Orleans and
trading with South American potts. and
it was probably from this connection
that Macheca came to be appointed con
sui for Bolivia.
The aard fact remains that he was such
consul at the time of his unauthorized
execution. Bolivia has no diplomatic
representative here.
Its most prominent agent is Consul
General Obarrio, of New York 1t does
not appear that he has made any move
ment in the matter.
Obarrio was a delegate to the recent
international monetary commission,
which sat in Washington.
incidentally during his visit to the
capital, in this connection, he mentioned
with regret that since the disastrous
Chili-Peruvian war Bolivia had been
left without any seaport and had to do
all her commerce through neighboring
states.
Bolivia, without navy, OF seaport, is a
very small factor among the nations,
nevertheless it is possible that some ex-
PLANTATION may be asked of the United
States at the killing of one of its CON

McSweeny Moved the Jury.

Mr.. insolvency was a thorough stu
dent of human nature and master of the
art of observation. Nothing escaped his
notice. While engaged upon a case he
watched the jury as cat watches a
mouse, says the Chicago Mail, and fire.
quently astonished his clients by ending
his arguments very abruptly and sub
uniting the matter to the jury,
i've known many case to be talked
to death after it had been won" he said.
''What is the use of wasting time and
breath after the jury is converted to
your way of thinking? l believe | can
tell when l have my jury well in hand
At that point l stop, no matter in what
shape it leaves my speech. | take it that
a client employs a lawyer to win his
case and not to display his oratorical
abilities"
The popularity of the great criminal
lawyer was shown at a murder trial in
San Francisco a few years ago. Mr.. Ne
Sweeney appeared for the defendant.
The state apparently had made out a
very clear case against the prisoner
When Mr.. McSweeney arose to make his
address to the jury he carefully avoided
any reference to the facts set forth IN the
evidence or the laws governing them. He
pointed out the terrible responsibility
resting upon the twelve men who were
sitting in judgement upon the life of
one of their fellow citizens. He added
that the verdict of guiltylwouId fall not
the heaviest upon the prisoner, but upon
his family. He asked the jury toI think
for moment of the effect of an adverse
verdict upon the wife and little ones of
the prisoner.
Then the speaker drew a word picture
which was a marvel of artistic rhetorical
work. He brought before the eyes of
the jurymen the home of the accused
man. He showed the patient and loving
wife leaving her work to cast many an
anxious glance down the road to see if
her husband was yet in sight, eager to
be the first to catch glimpse of his fig
me in the distance that a steaming sup
per might await him upon his arrival.
He pictured three ruddy-faced little
children swinging upon the old gate,
waiting till papa should come home to
them.
At this point the lawyer noticed that
one Of the jurymen-a bluff old western
er-had considerable difficulty IN swal-
lowing large lump which choked him
and thatthere was suspicious moisture
in his eye.
The speaker paused Turning toward
that juror, he held out both hands as
little child might have done to its father,
and said, in tone that was scarcely
audible: Gentlemen, you must send him
home to them" Shifting neasily in his
seat the juror blurted out yes, by,
Wen co it, too"
McSweeney instantly sat down. The
case was won. His client was acquitted.
But the most interestcring point in this
case, Eperhaps, was the fact, which the
Lawyer afterwards learned, that the pris-
oner at the bar was an unmarried man.

dent, but Hill May be Nominated.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 15.-The anti-third
and anti-subtreasury wing of the National
Farmers alliance met at 1890 this morn
delegates expected being present. The
convention was called to order and tenn
porary organization effected by the cleo
ton OF U. S. Hall, ex-president of the Mis-
souri, alliance, as chairman. After the ap-
po1ntment of committee on credentials
the temporary organization was made per-
manent. 1t was decided to appoint COM
miLtee of five to outline plan of procedure
to be presented to the convention this
afternoon and at 1870 recess was taken.
The afternoon session was very lively.
The committee on resolution includes w. S.
McAllister, of Mississippi; DR.. Ransom, of
Tennessee; G. a. Hitler, j. F. Davidson,
of Missouri; b. G. Bragg, of Texas; w. D.
Wilsey, of Illinois, and r. j. Mcconnell, of
Iowa. The committee went to work at once
to prepare platform. DR.. w. Polk Yea
mans, of Missouri, delivered an address on
the government land law and sub treasury
schemes, opposing both.
The committee on resolutions made a
partial report, embodying the principles of
the Fort Worth platform with an additional
resolution denouncing G. w. McCune as a
corruptionist and the henchman of
others. This clause of the report
caused a heated debate, Wade, of
Tennessee, insisting the clause should
be stricken out. He held the convention
was not called to make personal attacks,
although he acknowledged McCune's dis
honesty. Yeamans, of Missouri, also
urged the clause be stricken out. Chair
man Hall argued against the motion to
strike out. He denounced McCune as the
fool of politicians and monopolists, having
accepted bride from them, the alliance
should deuounce him. McAllister, of Mis-
sissippi, said McCune Is ali octopus encir-
cling in Shiny coils the escutcheon of the
order, and should be denounced. Murray
and Goodman, of Texas, also denounced
McCune, and the motion to strike out the
denuuciatory clause was finally defeated

Matters in Mexico.

CITY OF MEXICO, Sept. 15.-It is feared
the recent heavy rains have endangered the
sugar, coffee and cotton crops in the south
ern states.
The minister of finance has ordered that
of all meta. or mineral exported from this
country two specimens of one-half ounce
each must be taken from every bar.
Rumors that there is to be a change in
the United States legation is semi officially
denied.
The chief of police is endeavoring to as
certain who sent out the story contained in
dispatch telegraphed from San Francisco
August 81 last in reference to the alleged
revolutionary feeling in this country, and
woe be it to him if caught. 1t is surmised
two persons are concerned in it, one
journalist, the other one an engineer and
ex member of congress, who has brought
upon himself the odium of the government
on account of his independence.
The Spanish trans Allan tic line of steam
ers will not suspend trips to Mexico.
Merchants throughout the country will
make up the subsidy which the government
formerly paid the line if the president de-
cides not to renew it, as the line Is very
popular here. All steamers from the United
States and Europe touching at Vera Cruz,
will hereafter touch at Tampico. German
merchants here are strongly opposing reel
procity between Mexico aud the United
States.
Minister of Justice Baranda next week
assumes charge of his portfolio in the
ministry of justice. Sierra has been elected
president of the house and Carlos Rives of
the senate.
La Pahta says troops are operating

LONDON, Sept 15.-It is now stated the
Nitylene scare has arisen from the fact
that party Of British naval officers Sat
urday last picniked on a desert island OH
Cape Sigri and that they re-embarked the
sailed away Sunday.
While il is now admitted British force
has not seized the island of Mitylene, news
TO the effect that the island has been oc-
cupied was received from MityIene and
elsewhere by various embassies at Con-
stantinople and other capitals. The new
Turkish minister of the interior telegraphed
to the British ambassador at CONSTANT
nople, Sir William White, asking the latter
TO explain the reports of the landing OF
British forces on Turkish territory. Sir
William in reply said he was entirely igno-
rant of the whole affair, but 1t was prob
able that the crews of some British war
ships might have landed on the island
of Mitylene in the course of regular
boat drills and landing exercises. The
British ambassador assured the turkish
minister that no fertilization had been con-
structed on the island by British troops.
This view of the case was confirmed by
dispatches received during the night, which
stated force had been landed from British
warships, had reembarked and that the
man of-war had left the island of Mitylene
for Marmorito.
The affair has caused great excitement in
diplomatic circles for short time and it i:
still asserted thai these same "maneuyers;
had at least the purpose of showing Iht
Sultan and his advisers how easily EnglauC
could change her boat drills and landing
exercises off the island of Mitylene into
dangerous reality.

The third round was McCarthy's. He

sort, took place Sunday, September 6, from

One OF the most important actions ever
brought in the supreme court Of Hawaii is
now pending. 1t is a petition for reyoca-
ton of the order admitting to probate the
will of kaluahombui, one of the ancestors
OF halahaua's family, who died in 1S49
leaving very large estate to his wife.
Ihls is the third attempt to set aside tha
will on the grounds of forgery. The petit
toner is Junious Kaae, who claims an in
terest through his deceased wife, who was
granddaughter of the testator. The case
involves the title to some Of the finest prop
critics in the kingdom.
A Hawaiin paper says trouble recently
occurred at hohala between plantation ma
tives who had been impressed as special
police and about one hundred Chinese la
borers who had been brought here by one
Asen to work on the plantations. The
Chinese were dissatisfied with the wages.
They attempted to see Asen and obtain a
modification of the contract He
refused to confer with them and they
started homeward in a squad. Native
special policemen closely followed them
armed with billets. One or two of the
Chinese picked up rocks; the policemen
thereupon made on onslaught belaboring
the fleeing Chinese with their whips. The
natives then attacked a number of houses
occupied by Chinese. Windows were
broken and other property demolished.
Their queues were tied to the pommel Of
saddles and about forty Chinese were
dragged TO leper cells and crowded in,
their clothing being appropriated by the
mobs. The Chinese were released by court
next day. They made no complaint except
as to their contract, asserting that they
could not live on the small sum coming to
them after the government deposit and
their passage money had been deducted
from their pay.
