Washington.
Tie recall by the Italian government
OF Baron Fava, Italian minister TO
Washington, still continues to be the
all-absorbing topicin diplomatic and
official circles.
Dispatches from Rome give assur-
ance that tile action OF The Italian
government in withdrawing its minister
from this country will lead to nothing
more serious than diplomatic contro-
versey. Yesterdays reports that
American citizens travelling in Italy
were being held as hostages is denied.
The basis OF the recall Is that the
United States government has not
given assurances that the murderers OF
the italian subjects acquitted by the
American magistrates and murdered
In prison, wipilUpnder immediate pro-
lection OF the authorities OF New Or
leans. would be brought to justice. The
baron will soon leave the United States,
leaving the secretary OF legation in
charge OF only current affairs.
OmciaI Circles Surprised.
This action by the italian govern
ment caused the deepest surprise In
OlnCIul CttCtCc nOtO tbo toSs W
came known. 1t had generally been
supposed that the Italian government
would at least await the action OF the
New Orleans grand jury which is
charged with an investigation
OF the bloody episode at the
New Orleans Jail. 1t APP
pears, however, that the information
received from its representatives must
have led that government to the con-
clusion that the grand jury investiga-
ton would fail to result in punishment
or even indictment OF any person con-
nected witt, the killing OF the Italians.
The letter OF Gov. Nichols in reply to
Secretary Blaine was also regarded as
evasive of the real point OF issue-re-
paration for an alleged wrong-and the
governors assurances that further
bloodshed would not follow, unaccom-
panied by an excuse for the failure Of
the State or municipal authorities to
take precautions 10 prevent the killing,
was, it is said, regarded by the Italian
government with extreme dissatisfac-
ton. 1t appeared that the United
States government had exhausted it's
resources.

STRIKERS SHOT DOWN.
NINE MEN KILLED AND FORTY
SERIOUSLY WOUNDED.
bloody Riots Result From the Coke
Troubles I'm Pennsylvanis-Bard
Fight nc the yIorcwood works.

A dispatch from Mount Pleasant,
Pa, saws that mob OF about
five hundred men began rioting
ut the Standard works. They destroyed
some Of the company's property and
then proceeded TO cut the telephone and
telegraph lines OF the coke company so
no warning could be sent to the people
ut Norwood.
In the meantime the company's en-
ployes at the Standard works hurriedly
repaired the telephone lines and sent
word to Morewood that the strikers
would attack the works in three places
and had well-laid plan to destroy the
whole plant.
The deputy sheriffs were soon in
readiness 10 receive the attack. The
men were divided into two parties,
Capt. Lauer having charge OF the
party which was placed behind the big
gates OF the barn of the stable in
closure.
AS the rioters passed the company's
store they made an attack upon 1t and
raided IL AS far as they could, In n brief
time breaking the windows and doing
other damage.
They then marched to the barn and
attempted to break down the gates.
They succeeded in doing this and rs
they entered Capt. Lauer called out to
them 10 halt or lie would fire upon
them.
Their answer was to fire u rafting
volley in the direction OF the deputies,
none OF whom were seriously injured.
Capt. Lauer then gave the order TO fire.
Two voleys were fired before the mob
broke and ran.
The tight was brief and deadly. Two
rounds Of cartridges were fired by IL
band Of sixty-fve guards, and seven Of
the charging mob Of strikers fell dead,
while at least forty others were wound
ed-how badly cannot be definitely
learned, as they were taken away by
their companions.
A later report says that two of the
strikers died from their wounds.
A private dispatch received from
Greensburg says eleven men we're killed
AID twenty-seven wounded in the
Norwood riot. The dead miners are
all foreigners.
Sheriff CIawson OF Westmoreland
county sent Gov. Pattison telegram
saying that eight men were killed in
the Norwood riot and that the sit
uation was so threatening that the
militia should be called out at once.
The dead men were carried into the
company's store at Morewood. The
strikers demanded the bodies Of the
victims but were refused, and the place
was Immediately surrounded by an
armed mob Of over two thousand men,
who threatened to burn everything on
The premises unless the dead bodies
were given up. The feeling is very
bitter among the workmen, who de-
nounce the action OF the deputies in no
uncertain terms,

The excitement over the italian af-
fair lins subsidized. and IL Is not 4
topic OF sufficient live interest to en-
gage attention in fashionable drawing
rooms- Secretary Blaine is not yet
prepared 10 make public anything
throwing additional light on the stun.
tion, and unless there should be, con-
trary to all expectations, another
bombshelI as sudden aud startling as
the recall OF baron Fuvn, IL is probable
that the italian ENHANCEMENT will not
again be q subject OF all-engrossing
public interest, and that il will take
the usual tedious course OF diplomacy.
There is some desire manifested to
know the nature Of the reply Secretary
Blaine will make to the message OF the
Marquis du Rudini, but the Secretary
evidently prefers less haste In the diplo-
matte affair, for lie sent down word
that there was nothing new in tine sit
uation and that his reply to Marquis du
Rudini was not ready for publication.

In addition to these works Messrs.

DEED OF A CRAZY YOUTH.
Awful Tragedy AT Bloomington, Ind
All tiic Parties Are Highly
Connected.

Bloomington. Ind, telegram: Ward
Demaree. aged % years, killed his
mother with razor and then cut his
own throat.
Demnree had been college student
for some time and had been studying
languages preparatory to attending
Princeton college. At the time Of the
tragedy an older daughter was absent
ut school and the mother lay upon the
bed sick. Two smaller children were
about the house. The mother, seeing
that her son had razor in his hand as
he approached her bedside, motioned
the children from the room.
Ward approached his mothers bed
side and with one slash OF the razor
nearly severed her head from her body.
The son, after looking at his fiendish
work minute or more, knelt on the
floor and with the same bloody weapon
cut his own throat.
The bed and floor presented a CHASTITY
spectacle to the excited people who
soon crowded into the room. The
tragedy was enacted in the heart OF the
city. All parties are highly connected.
The family knew Of the sons temporary
alteration of mind, but had kept the
matter profound secret.

had been killed at New Orleans. The
stranger, who refused 10 give his name
said that at least 10000 Italians could
be brought into Pittsburg in five hours
time and with the aid OF guns and by
surprising the citizens they would be
able to take the city without much
trouble.
A dispatch from Wheeling says that
1000 Italians near Moundsville. now

NO MONEY FOR ITALY.
The state Department. Cannot Promise
Indemnity.

Washington telegram: There is no
money in the hands of the Suite depart.
ment available for paying Italy any in
demnity and this may lead to another
international misunderstanding. In
Secretary Blaine's letter he spoke
guardedly of an indemnity, but in D
Rudini's reply Italy notes the fact that
the right OF indemnity is conceded. As
matter OF fact, there was no such con-
cession. The department is without
funds to permit an assurance OF in
demnity, and all it can do is to urge the
next Congress to grant an indemnity.
Ship-Builder Cramp says that il one
of the italian naval monsters got to our
shore the little dynamite cruiser Vesu-
vius could drop dynamite shell on
the gunboat and blow her to pieces.
But Secretary Tracy's last report said
that the dynamite guns of the Vesu-
vius had never been perfected. They
are not yet beyond the experimental
stage.

MASSACRE in INDIA.
NEARLY FIVE HUNDRED PEo-
PIE KILLED IN A FIGHT.
Two Days or Desperate Fighting
The Trouble Originated in FcnS
Desween Rival RaJahs.

A dispatch from Manipur. Assam
brings news OF disaster to u force OF
native troops there. 1t seems that
James w. Quinton, the chief COM
missioner OF Assam. has recently been
Investigating some serious troubles
which have occurred among the native
Chiefs. As result OF his investigation
the chief commissioner was holding u
hurbar or conference with the notabili.
Fies OF Assam with the view Of arrest
ing one OF tile prominent chiefs who
bad been instrumental In deposing the
Rajah.
The chief commissioner, while pur-
suing his inquiries into the disputes
between the chiefs, occupied camp
which was garrisoned by a strong force
of Ghoorkas. native infantry in the
British service. Suddenly this camp
Twas attacked by IA number OF hostile
tribes, led by their chiefs. A two days
battle, during which some desperate
fighting took place, followed the on
slaught or the tribesmen.
The Ghoorkas fought most determin-
eddy against heavy odds and according
TO the report 40 OF the Ghoorkas were
killed. Seven OF the British officers
who accompanied the chief commits
sioner and that official have been re-
ported to be missing.
The massacre originated in feud be-
tween the rajah OF Manipur and lead
ing tribal chief. The rajah was de-
posed and he appealed to the viceroy.
Mr.. Quinton was sent to settle the
trouble and started from the head
quarters at Shillong with the Forty
second and F'orty.fourth Ghoorka light
infantry.
After crossing the frontier Mr.. Quin-
ton summoned the chiefs to durbar
at Minipur for the purpose Of arresting
the rebellious chief. The tribesmen,
pretending to obey the summons,
mustered in force and at midnight on
the day before that on which the dur
bar was to be held suddenly attacked
the camp OF Commissioner Qninton,
which lay between KoIiima and Mani
pur.
The attempt to surprise the camp
failed and the tribesmen were driven
back. They returned, however, and
kept up the attack and siege night and
day for forty.eight hours. Finally the
ammunition of the Ghoorkas gave out
and Commissioner Quinton was obliged
10 give the order: "Sauve qui peut."
During the fight at the camp scouts
were sent out TO try to communicate
with Shillong, but they never returned.
The Manipur natives cut the telegraph
wires and killed the messengers. Fug-
itives report that general massacre
followed the taking of the camp. There
is reason for believing that the esti-
mate that 40 were killed is incorrect.
The yiceroy of India has abandoned
his tour and has started for Simla. Five
regiments and mountain battery have
been ordered to Mauipur.
