THE JURY'S REPORT.
What Is Said Of the Failure to In
dot the Lynehers.


But the Italian Consul Says That
Information Furnished by Him to
the Grand Jury Was Ignored-At-
torney General Miller Has Moth
ing Il. Say ON tho Subject.
WASHINGTON, May THE report Of
the New Orleans grand jury upon the
work Of the mob at the Parish prison
there last March has led to considerable
discussion here. Attorney General Mil
Ter declined absolutely to express any
opinion about it, or TO discuss it in any
Of its features. The findings of tho
grand jury excited no surprise, for some
such conclusion in the case was ex'
pected, At the state department the
attempt on the part Of tho jury to ex-
cuse the infraction of law by offsetting
it with the alleged attempts at jury
firing is deprecated, but there is a wsh
defined opinion that on the whole the
outcome Of the case will be beneficial in
It's effect on the turbulent elements in
the United States, inasmuch as it will
make clear to them the fact that they
cannot rely upon treaties to escape re-
sponsibility to the great public for their
unlawful acts.
The report, it is believed differs in the
nationality of the victims to that of Dis
trict Attorney Grant, now in the hands
of the attorney general. The grand
jury found that eight of them were nat
uralized citizens, and that one of them
had declared his intention to become
naturalized, while the district attorney,
1t is believed, found that one of the VIC
Tins was an Italian, but an escaped con-
vict, and that another's nationality was
SO doubtful as to make it unsafe to
hazard an opinion. So at its worst the
Italian complaint will be narrowed down
to two persons, and one of them an
escaped convict. M
New Orleans Papers Applaud.
New ORLEANS, May 7.-All Of the
daily newspapers comment freely on the
report of the grand jury, which they in
dorse without exception. The States
says: "The report Of the grand jury
brings to light number of startling
facts concerning the assassination of the
late chief u police Of thisc ity, the mis-
carriage of Justice and the subsequent
lynching of the prisoners in the Parish
prison. Naturally the grand jury could
indict no one or no number of those con-
cerued in this business. The people did
it,and no grand jury could devise way
to indict the people .-=.
The Times Democrat says: 1.-THE
grand jury has made the proper return
on the lynching-a return that will
meet with the approval of the entire
people, not Of New Orleans alone, but of
the country"
The Pickayune says: "We accept the
declaration of the inability of the grand
jury to get information as to the particle
pants in the storming of the Parish
prison. The grand jury could not find
the guilty parties. That is plain enough.
Any insinuation that the entire people
of the city and parish are responsible
ought not to proceed from the grand
jury, which is acting under oath"

New York, May THE alleged case
of leprosy in an Oliver street tenement

the ground that as they are not certain
of the nature of the disease, it would be
manifestly unfair to brand the man by

The Adjutant- nt-General's Opinion of the
First Artillery.

General G. c. Allen, Adjutant-General
of the State troops, with numerous staff
in gorgeous and richly ornamented uni
forms, was the event of the day on Fri
day last at Camp Murray. says the corre-
SpOndent of the San Francisco Post. The
regiment was very carefully inspected
by the General in the morning, and i'll
the afternoon the command was marched
in review before him.
The General is justly proud of his Sac
ramento red-legged infantry regiment.
The Light Battery, commanded by Cap
tain Cook, is the only feature to distin-
guish it from a marching regiment. Cap
tain Cook is doing the best he can with
an unmounted battery. His sword drill
shows him to be good instructor. He
takes great deal of pains with his bat
terry, and it shows the fruit of his con-
stant care and attention.
