Italians Riotous.

NEW YORK, March 23.-Five thou
sand natives OF italy, that ''most civ
lized country were 50 eager to get
into Cooper union last night 10 de-
nounce the killing Of the Clcilian assas-
sins at New Orleans that they broke
down the doors. Several were injured
in the rush. although ljO policemen
tried 10 protect themselves. The
speeches were wildly vehement and RI
diculOusly threatening, but were APP
plauded at each period At one point
OF the gathering riot was imminent,
but the leaders on the platform jumped
down into the aisles and urged quiet
and order, and when the police had
thrown out lot OF unruly attendants
quiet was restored. The Italian editors
who spoke were sensible In their views
and moderate in their demand& One
of them said:
We Italians, classed as hot bloOded
and already compared 10 the volcanoes
Of our country, do not wish for war with
this nation, our second fatherland. Our
navy Is certainly for other enemies.
The first shot Of our cannons must be
aimed at that odious Austrian flag, not
10 the Stars and Stripes, the flag Of lib
ertN. A just reparation Is what we ask
for, we demand II without fear, and the
federal authorities will certainly grant
IL 10 us. We do not care 10 know II the
eleven massacred human beings were
guilty or not, but what we look at Is that
they we're acquitted by court, and that
Is enough"
Resolutions expressing the sense oi
the meeting were adopted and ordered
sent 10 President Harrison and the
Italian minister at Washington.

DECATUR. H., March 23.-COnsider-

evening when relatives OF w. ii. Craw-

Matthias, reported that unknown par.
ties had visited the grave OF the muir
derer, at Spangler's cemetery, east OF
Decatur, and attempted 10 exhume the

and contents out into the road. The
father Of the dead man had bought the

trustees, but the other two, with many
lot owners, object TO the interment. II
was not believed that the objection
would extend TO a violation OF law. but

CHICAGO, March 2s.-The sensation
ally large purchases Of cattle In Canada
during the past week by American cap
itallsts brought TO light here the first
complete public knowledge OF the result
OF mastery international campaign
that has been quietly but effectively
waged by Secretary OF Agriculture
Rusk The object was to afford relief to
American cattle growers by opening up
markets abroad, and according 10 the
statements OF one Of the largest dealers
In Chicago success has already been at
tained, while a much greater widening
of the foreign market Is now close at
hand. The Canadian purchases, II APP
pears, are simply In the nature OF pre-
liminary tactics TO secure the unre-
stricted entry OF American cattle In
Great Britain.
Canhdiaa cattle, though inferior to
the American product, are legally un-
fettered by British enactments, and the
Americans who have just bought some
immense Canadian herds, propose TO
utilize the Canadian animal and famil-
iarize the people of rural England,
Scotland and Wales with beef from this
side Of the Atlantic. This Canadian
venture is to result in loss to the
Americans interested, but they are CON
fidently counting on recouping them
selves under the plans laid down by
Secretary Rusk. American beeves are
freely introduced and slaughtered az
will through Great Britain. At pres
ent American live stock can only be
landed or killed at three ports. and
that, too, under harrassing restrictions.
That the Rusk plan will accomplish its
purpose in Queen Victora's populous
dominion, the results already reached in
France, Germany and the Netherlands
leave no doubt, 10 say nothing of the
fact that the essential features Of the
plan have now just been formally en-
bodied in the United States statutes as
TO the federal meat inspection law.
Months ago. it is learned. Secretary
Rusk put 20 work on an experimental
scale exactly the inspection povided in
the bill. His agents inspected certain
shipments and certified the animals to
be sound as an American dollar
Against this certificate the authorities
at Paris, Antwerp aud Hamburg have
been unable TO maintain the time
honored pretense that the cattle, being
American, were as matter OF course
diseased. Beginning December 2d. six
different shipments have been landed
up TO date at Hamburg, aggregating H.
900 head. The shipments to Paris,
thirteen in number, commenced arriv-
ing August lst. and now have reached
total OF l.1Sl head. At Antwerp. the
shipments began still further back, May
9Th. That port also received thirteen
consignments. altogether 3,G22 head.
Great Britain is now the market
stronghold, toward the capture OF
which is being directed all the surplus
energy Of the American cattle growers.
