LONDON, May s.-A Rome dispatch
says that while the Italian press pro-
tests against the failure 70 prosecute
the New orleans lynchers, the affair
has ceased 70 excite serious public in
terest in view Of the gravity of the
situation in Italy. The stoning of NJ.
Jacques, the American, at Florence
Was, it appears. the act of some of the
worst class and il 10 said 10 have been
incited in the first place by beggar, TO
whose appeal for aims Mr.. Jacques
neglected 70 listen. Ii is claimed that
the incident had no motive relating To
the massacre at New Orleans and II is
deeply regretted by the Florence an-
thoutles. whose city depends upon
American patronage 10 = great extent
for income. In Rome, Americans 20
about entirely unmolrsted and il is be-
lIeved that they are safe IN any part of
Italy where other people are safe.
According 10 81. Petersburg adyices
minister of finance views with great
anxiety the impending withdrawal of
the Rothschild syndicate of the new
loan, which withdrawal would seriously
interfere with Russia's plans, moi only
financially, but also strategic and eco
nomic. The country is'not pressed for
funds for current expenses, the treas
ury being in an unusually healthy con-
dltion, but the siberian railway and
several fortifications on gigantic scale
near the German frontier may be de-
layed by the want of extra funds TO
carry them on. The Russian loans of
1850 aud 1860 can not be redeemed at
par. as intended, until the new loan is
forthcoming.
The American consul at Florence has
cabled the following version OF the as
sault on Mr.. Jacques: "Mr. Jacques
and his family were out riding, and
happening to pass through u street III
which some arrests were being made,
and stones and other missiles being
thrown at the arresting officials. their
carriage was struck by some Of the fly
ing bricks. One of the stones crashed
through the carriage with great force
and struck one OF the occupants" The
dispatch does not mention, however,
who the person was that was struck.

ment of Judge Hall, of the superior

Miss Breed belongs to one of the re-
spectacle and influential old time fami-
fes OF aristocratlc Stoningtou. She is
fifty-one years old. Not long ago she
adopted two children that had been
sent from New London to the country
home IN Preston, near this city, one of
whom, Helen Breed, she cruelty mall
treated. last month Miss Breed sent
Helen into the fields on her farm to
plant potatoes, md she and Annette
Watrouse. who labors for Miss Breed,
went there to show Helen how to do it.
Helen did not learn easily, and neigh
bors testified IN court that they saw
Miss Watrouse throw Helen into q pile
of corn-stalks, tie the girls left wrist to
her left ankle, and compel her to pick
stones from the field and carry them Oft
in tin pail while in this cramped con-
dition. She then tied . stone to q string
and hung it to the child's ear. The
stone dropped off after . while, and
Miss Wartrouse then tied it to the girls
hair.
Annette Wartrouse was sentenced to
sixty days IN the county Jail and to pay
3 fine of SIS and costs. The case against
Miss Breed was nolled. A peculiar fea-
ture of the case was the apparent affec-
ton of both girls for Miss Watrouse.
