HE STAYED THEIR HANDS,

Sisnor Corte. the Recalled italian Consul
at New Orleans, Claims the Credit of
Having Saved the Lives of Mayor Shake
speare, Aessrs. Wfckline and Parkerson
and Others from the Italians Fury.
NEW ORLEANS. May 14-Signor
Corte, the Italian consul said yesterday
that he was not recalled but only sum-
moned home to give his testimony in
regard to the affair of March IA. He
knew of no reason why he should be
recalled, and asked if it was because
he had the courage to express an opin-
ion upon matters vital to the dearest
sentiments of his countrymen.
Mr.. Corte continuing, said that he had
saved Mayor Shakepeare's life and the
lives of Messrs. Parkerson, Wickliffe
and other leaders. The day after the
killing there was a determined resolu-
ton among certain of his countrymen
to kill the mayor and all those who had
a hand in the butchery. Mr.. Corte said
he restrained their hands, and told
them if harm befell the gentlemen he
would Immediately denounce the perpe-
traitors of the decd. The consul be-
lieves. an amicable understanding
in regard to the imbroglio was
near at hand. He was not surprised
at the action of the grand jury in re-
turning his letter, and said he could eX-
pect nothing more from the jury whose
chairman was president Of the cotton
exchange which Endorsed the killing.
Relative to his departure for Italy, Mr..
Corte said he could not leave until he
had heard from Mr.. Poma. This would
probably be in a dav or so.

WHOLE COUNTIES ABLAZE.

Ruin Left in the Track of the Michigan
Forest Fires-NIilIions of Logs Destroyed,
Towns Wiped Out and Thousands Oh
People Ruined-The Scenes of 1871 Re-
peated, but on Larger Scale.
DETROIT, Mich, May 14.-Millions
upon millions of logs are burning up
throughout the central part of this state,
and the fire district embraces nearly
twelve counties. The amount of terri
tory in which the flames are raging can
be judged better when it is said to be as
large as the entire state of Rhode
Island. The Toledo, Ann Arbor &
Northern Michigan railroad had to sus-
pend operations north of the Clare coun-
ty line.
The wind shifted yesterday little
and drove the fires down into Newaygo,
Mecosta and Oceana counties. The en-
tire town of Traverse is out fighting the
flames, and Manlon, in Wexford coun'
ty, is hemmed in and has lot been able
to hold communication with this end OF
the state. The worst is feared.
The entire upper end of White
Cloud county is now collection of
ruins, and five townships have since
Saturday been a mass of flames. Otis,
or bingham, as it is commonly known
to the postal authorities, a hamlet of
200, Park City, in Lincoln township, and
Lilly's station are in ruins and
freight cars and tracks in ashes. The
damage is enormous and no estimate
can be given yet.
Clinton, Clare county, and Walker
vile, Oceana county, towns of 100 in
habitants each, are added to the list of
those surrounded by forest fires. In
each case the destruction of the
homes of inhabitants was accom-
panied by heavy loss to the lumber
firms having saw-mills at the places
named The loss to these firms on
buildings and machinery amounts to
over SI0e, In addition to this
an amount not easily to be reckoned
has been lost in the destruction Of the
forests.
At present there is little hope that
the fire can soon be stayed, and the en-
tire lumber district of four or five coun-
ties lies at its mercy. There has been
little rain this season and the country
is in the same condition it was in when
it was devastated in 1871.

A Sad suicide.

WORCESTER, o., May l4.-Michael
Shelly, the s0-year-old farmer, who was
robbed last August of over Sc, 900. was
found dead on his barn moor at o'clock
this morning with a bullet hole through
is head. The old gentleman was on
the witness stand yesterday about six
hours in the preliminary hearing of the
Binkeleys and Harry Webb, who had
been arrested charged with the rob-
berry. 1t is supposed that the old gem
tleman's nerves were SO shattered by
the excitement of the trial that he com
mitted suicide. A revolver was found
lying near the body.

WINNIPEG, Man., May lit now
seems to be an absolute certainty that
the Canadian Pacific has purchased the
Northern Pacific lines in Manitoba. 1t

Canadian Pacific railroad takes all the
Manitoba lines and terminals of the
Northern Pacific almost Immediately.

ton what steps are advisable in view
of the rumored withdrawal of the
Northern Pacific railway from the

What the Mexicans May Do.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 14.-With re-
gard to the probabl action of the Mex
lean authorities, Mr.. a. X. Coney, the
consul general for Mexico here, states
that if the Etata entered Acapulco, it
being a neutral port, the Mexican gov
eminent would not, in all proba bility,
allow the United States steamer
Charleston to take her into custody,
but if she had contraband goods on
board the Mexican authorities would
train the guns of the fort on the vessel
and seize her themselves. The fort
was not very strong, but strong enough
to compel the Etata to surrender.

THE WOUNDED CzAROWITZ.

Ills Injury Simply Scalp Wound. But
that was Not the Fault of His AssaiIant
The Princes Helmet Saved His Life.
PARIS, May 14.-Official dispatches
from Toxic state that when the assault
upon his life was made the czarowitz
had crossed Lake Biwa, near Kioto,
and had landed at Otsuo, on that lake,
whence he proposed, continuing his
journey to Kioto, about twelve miles
distant. Shortly after the landing Of
the czarowitz, n native policeman,
named Tsudo Sanzo, Il member of the
sect of Samuria, noted for their uncom-
promising, fanatical hostility to foreign
ers, approached the Russian prince,
and drawing his saber, aimed savage
thrust at the head of the heir to the
throne of Russia. Fortunately the
helmet worn by the czarowitz was SO
thick that the blade of the weapon only
inflicted scalp wound some three
inches in length and of insufficient
depth. Before the fanatic could renew
the attack he was seized by those about
the person of the prince and was speed
lily placed in confinement. Surgeons at
once dressed the wound, and with but
little delay, the distinguished traveller
took his seat in a special train and de-
departed for Kioto.
