 ROME, April 7.-General Baldissera has testified before the commission of inquiry regarding the management of affairs in Africa that he executed 212 natives under instructions from the Italian government during his regime at Massowah.
 The investigation now going on here is to bring out the facts respecting the out rages committed by Lieut. Livraghi, who, while chief of police at Massowah, caused prominent Abyssinian merchants to be murdered, in order to possess him. self of their fortunes. Subsequent de- velopments, and the above testimony of Gen. Baldissera, would indicate that throat cutting and brigandage have been carried out on a wholesale scale in Italy s possessions on the Red Sea, and this by the governments instructions.

 WASHINGTON, April 7.-There is reason to believe that the government has de- cided to go to the bottom of the New Or leans affair, and with that end in view has sent to that city a number of the best trained detectives in it's em- ploy, who are to act in connection with the United States District-Attorney there and report to him.
 The whole matter is to be carefully in vestigated, beginning with the assassina- tion of Chief of Police Hennessey and ending with the killing of the accused men in the parish prison. The charges as to the existence of the Mafia in New Orleans, the charges as to the bribing of the jury, whose verdict stirred the peo- pie to violence, and the quarrels between rival detective agencies there are all to be weighed and reported upon by this ex- perienced force in the governments pay.
 This course has been determined upon, 1t is said. because Mir. Blaine realizes that in the end, in order to deal with the claims of Italy in the premises, he must know the whole story. As the case now stands he knows next to nothing, except that Hennessey was killed and that the men accused of the crime shortly fol- lowed him. But all the rest is enveloped in mystery

MURDERED AND ROBBED.
A Young Mans Body Found on the Road
 Near PittsburH.

A 1oung Mans Body Found on the Road
 Near PittsburS.
 PTTTsBURa, April 7.-What is believed to have been an assassination and rob bery occurred at West Liberty, a hamlet two miles south of Pittsburg.
 Early in the morning the body of John W. Gonsawlis was found on the road lead ing from West Liberty to Pittsburg. There was pistol wound in his head and his pockets had been rifled of their con- tents. In the hand of the victim was found revolver with three empty cham bers. There is no clue to the cause of his death, but the officials are satisfied that Gonsawlis was murdered and rob bed.
 The victim spent the evening with Miss Maggie Smith, to whom he was en- gagged to be married, and had left West Liberty at Il o'clock, intending to go to the home of his mother in Allegheny City. Before leaving his sweetheart he showed her gold and silver watch and $1 200 in cash, which he told her was to be used in setting them up in housekeep- ing when they should be married on the 10th of this month. He also exhibited the revolver which was found clutched in his hand.
 Of his valuables none were found ex- cept his silver watch. The watch was almost buried in the mud, having been trampled upon. There was evi- dence of a desperate struggle. MT. Con- sawlis was about 23 years of age.

He Discusses the Farmers Alliance and
 the Silver Question.


 the Silver Question.
 WASHINGTON, April 7.-Senator Ed munds is out in an interview on the gen. ertl political situation and the probable outcome of the continuance of the Farmers's Alliance movement and agita- tion of the silver question.
 The attitude of the the two great par ties in respect to each other and public affairs, he thinks, is unchanged.
 What the effect of the Farmers Ali ance movement will be upon the next national election, no one, he thinks, can foresee with precision. When asked if he thought the silver question would be an issue in the next Presidential election, he Said:
 ''l don't think it will be an issue be- tween the Republican and Democratic parties, for I think that the Democratic party will hardly wish to make the sil- yer question an issue to the extent of running any considerable risk of separ- ating silver and gold as the coin money of the country, and certainly the great body of the Republican party, am sure, will not. Up to the point of safety l have no doubt the Republican party will be in favor of using silver as money as it always has been. What the Farmers Alliance platform, if it should nominate a candidate for President, will be on that topic 1 am quite unable to say"

There are times when a man tries to be careful not to wake people up. It is not so in our case, the more we can wake people up the better for them, as we'll as for us. The public are waking up to the fact that our reliable cloth ing is economical for them to wear, the big increase in our business this season proves this. So many customers say they want the same good quality as they had last, that they never had so good quality for their money before. Customers don't talk this way unless they rean it. We are bound to sus- tain the good name we have already won, and this season we are showing better goods than ever. Wake up and look at our stock this season be- fore you buy your spring outfit.

WASHINGTON, April 7.-The Canadian commissioners have found that they will have to wait for the Presidents return from his trip to California before they can have a hearing on the reciprocity treaty The delay, however, is not the re- suit of any serious differences of opinion between the respective negotiators, but Is the result of the desire of President Harrison to be in Washington while the negotiations are on.

He is known to be fail ing and the announcement of his death would not be entirely unexpected to the residents of Bridgeport.

The man who tells diseases at glance without asking any questions, looking at the tongue, or feeling the pulse.
 No information from the patient. No previous knowledge of the case.
 Every ache. pain and disagreeable feel ing pointed out and described better than the patients themselves.
 His mode and strange manner of de- scribing diseases, giving thus, without a word or hint, the plainest and most con- else history of it's incipiency, progress and termination surprises and convinses every body that he thoroughly understands their case and condition, making it an easy matter for him to determine whether e disease is curable or not, and if curable, no time is lost in it's treatment and cure.
 He makes it a point to consult with all patients free of charge, giving them an ex plicit understanding of their disease, leav- ing them perfectly free to employ him or not, as they chose.
 The doctors parlors are crowded from morning till night with the very first and best people in the city; many to seek his aid in treatment, while others are availing themselves of these generous free consulta- tions, which certainly are of the most re- markable character, impressing the pa ! tient with the most profound wonder and astonishment, different from that which they have ever seen or heard before; many deeming him reader of the most secret and hidden thoughts and desires of the mind, as well as of diseases; yet, as they express it, all aimed at and towards the benefit of the patient. No thought of self appears to enter into his consultations or advice, and by his wonderful Power and gift of Healing, he astonishes the most l skeptical. Remember,
