o'MALLEY's STATEMENT.
The New Orleans Detective Talks About
 the Hennessy Case.

The New Orleans Detective Talks About
 the Hennessy Case.
 NEW ORLEANS, May 8.-Dominick O'AIal- ley, the notorious detective, has sent a long statement to the press, in which he gives a history of that portion of his life which dates from his arrival in New Or leans.
 O'Malley came here in 1878, and since that time has been employed by several prominent concerns. He gives a detailed account of his services to the State in the capacity of a detective and reviews at length the famous Metranga-Provenzano and Hennessy cases.
 He reiterates his statement that the five Italians who underwent trial for the murder of Chief Hennessy were innocent of the crime, and says he would give his theory of the crime if he had any direct evidence to substantiate it. The day will come, he believes, when he can speak positively on this point, but for the pres ent he will maintain a strict silence, fearing that If he should speak further on the subject he would throw suspicion on certain persons who may be perfectly in- nocent. He states, however, that Chief Hennessy was not murdered by members of the Mafia.
 O'Malley reasserts his innocence of any connection in the Hennessy case and says he fears no investigation. All he wants is fair trial. He alleges that his life has been threatened and been told that if acquitted he will be lynched The re- mainder of the statement contains noth- inc new

THE Springfield Republican wants President Harrison to call a special ses- sion of the senate to secure a ratification of the Brussels agreement to suppress the slave trade and prevent the sale of rum in Central Africa. As the rum is principally shipped from Massachusetts, perhaps the state authorities could deal with that part of the problem, leaving the European parties in interest to take care of the slavery matter. In this way we should continue to avoid entangllng alliances.

IT isn't regarded safe for Americans to travel in Italy now, so excited are the people of that country over the killing of their countrymen in New Orleans. Americans who value their safety are giving Italy wide berth in their travels through Europe, and conse- quently American orders for works of art and other Italian products has fallen off to an extent that alarms the dealers but does not have the effect of abating the violence of the Italian press.

A "CURE" of consumption by the Koch process is reported from New York paper. The patient received his first inoculation in December and is now discharged as cured. This would be great news for consumptives but for the explanation of the physician in charge, which runs in this strain: "Of course, as in any chronic disease, the cure is relative. He may suffer a re- lapse within a year or two, brought about by poor food, by living in con- tracted and poorly ventilated rooms, or by exposure. Such a relapse, however, would not alter the opinion of a physi- clan that the man is cured at the present time." In other words cure of con- sumption by the Koch lymph is no cure at all.

HOT TALK IN ROME
The Report of the New Orleans
 Grand Jury Denounced.
BITTER COMMENTS BY THE PRESS
An Answer that Will be Given to the
 United States in Future.

The Italian Consul at New Orleans Says
 Nine of the LynChed Men Were Citizens
 of ItaIy-HIs Ground for Asking Dam-
 axes-Deteotive o'Malley Makes An
 other Statement-He Courts a Trial.
 ROME, May S.-The decision of the New Orleans grand jury has caused a great deal of excitement throughout this city, and is bitterly commented upon by the press.
 The Capitan Francessa, the organ of the opposition, said in leading article: "This impudent glorification of murder, this solidarity of a whole country with 6 band of coward1y homicides gathered in numerous thousands to exterminate a few helpless prisoners, is no longer the cry of people drunk with crime and and matured by the grand jury, which was regularly chosen. It is the answer that the American government has given to the just claims of Italy.
 ''For the first time in many centuries an infamous crime is elevated to an in stitution of the State. It is declared that when assassins are too numerous to be punished they shall be gentlemen.
 "The result of this theory, if it is &C., cepted and sustained by the government of the Union, will be simply that strangers in the United States in the fu- ture must consider themselves unpro- tected by the law, and will be constrained to trust the defence of their rights and lives to the strength of their own arms.
 "When in future the President of the United States shall demand from a European country the right to defend his countrymen, he will be answered as Italy has been answered."

The judge even went so far as to rule that all pictures of females would have to be represented either in bloomers or long skirts that reached to the ankles.

THE circular issued by the New York Tribune to postmasters warns them of the ''pernicious" effects the circulation of tariff reform literature has had on the public mind and appeals to them to use their offices to spread republican doctrines, more especially as they are set forth in the Tribune. While this is practically harmless, it being a demon strated fact that partisan postmasters cannot make newspaper circulate, it shows the pernicious spirit of republi- canism. From the Tribune's stand point, the public postoffices supported by taxation on all the people are parts of a republican spells machine which it is at at perfect liberty to use for its own partisan purposes by appealing to the partisan prejudices of the postmasters.

THE situation in the Pennsylvania coke regions has reached a point at which failure to settle the difficulties be- tween employers and employees must be accounted a crime. The misery of star vation and eviction is making infuri- ated beasts of both men and women. If ever there is justification for state inter- ference with labor troubles, there seems to be such justification in the coke region at present.
