LONDON TALKS WAR.
Discussing the Probable Outcome of Q
 Struggle with Italy.

Discussing the Probable Outcome of Q
 Struggle with Italy.
 LONDON, April g. There is profound feeling in the clubs and among the well informed generally that war may ensue, and the probable outcome of such 8 struggle is discussed.
 It is admitted that Italy, second class on land, is first class naval power, and that she is secure against any attack by any power not commanding the Mediter- ranean. On the other hand it is believed that Italy could not do much damage to the leading seaports of the United States, owing to the devices with which harbors may be protected even without a fleet, and the war would resolve itself into 8 mutual devastation of commerce outside the Mediterranean.
 It seems surprising to hear the almost universal hope expressed by business men, and public men, too, that there will be no serious result from the affair between the two nations.

HOW THE PRESIDENT FEELS.
He Will Take No Unusual Pains to Alp

He Will Take No Unusual Pains to Ap-
 pease the Wrath of the Italians.
 WASHINGTON, April 2.-The President and Secretary Blaine attach no particular importance to the fact that the Italian government is now unrepresented in Washington by full-fedge d Minister.
 They, of course, take it for granted that in recalling Baron Fava the Italian gov ernment intended to at once put an end to the amicable diplomatic relations ex- isting between the two countries, but having left the legation in charge of the first secretary, with orders to transact "current business" they eviden tly in tended to preserve at least a show of re- spect toward this government.
 The President and Secretary of State, it is learned, do not care whether this is the case or not, and after a consultation they decided that, as there was no cause for the recall of Baron Fava, the United States government having done all that it could do when MT. Blaine wrote to Gov ernor Nichols, nothing remains now but to allow the Italian government to send war ships up the mouth of the Missis- sippi River or take whatever other steps they may deem necessary to emphasize their ill-feeling against the United States government.
 To a friend who called upon him the President intimated that, as far as he was concerned, no unusual pains will be taken to appease the wrath of the Italians. To show the Presidents indifference to the subject, regarding which there is abso- lntely nothing more to be done, it is as- serted that the plans for the President's departure from the city are now being made, and, whether Baron Fava leaves Washington to-day or next week or does not go at all, President Harrison will start on his tour of observation about the 18th of April.

A STRIKER KILLED.

 He Assaulted.

He Was Shot Through the Heart by Man
 He Assaulted.
 CHESTER, Pa., April Civilian Brown, who is one of the Standard Steel Casting Company's strikers, was shot through tn e heart about s o'clock last night by one of the moulders who took the place of the strikers. Four workmen who came from Jersey City a few days ago, are locked up for the crime.
 The four men were walking down Edgemont avenue and close behind them were five more. Two of the latter were somewhat in the lead of the other three. One of the two foremost men reached forward, and, laying his hand on the shoulder of one of the four men, said: ''See here, pard, l want you" At the same time he struck the man he accosted.
 The assaulted man fell to the pavement, but got up at once, and, turning around, he pulled out a revolver and began to fire. One bullet struck Brown. A num- Der of shots were fired. The men who were attacked ran down the avenue and were soon out of sight.
 As soon as Chief Newsome learned of the death of Brown he went to South Chester and arrested the men. They had given their names to him in a little store where they first ran for protection. They are A. and G. Cell, J. Cripps and Frank Quinn. All came here from Jersey City, and they have been employed at the works only few days. They will have a hearing in the morning.

Minister Portsr's Interview With Signon
 D'Arco of the Foreign Ofice.
 ROME, April 2.-In the discussion be- tween Signor D'Arco of the Foreign Office and American Minister Porter, D'Arco said: Suppose dozen Americans should be killed in an Italian city, and we pleaded impotence to punish the act on the ground that the city was autonomous, what opinion would you Americans and the civilized world have of such a plan?"
 Mir. Porter, in reply, explained the pro- visions of the American Constitution, re- serving the sovereignty of States in all matters, not granted to the Federal gov ernment.
 D'Arco retorted warmly: eve have nothing to do with your constitutio on We know no constitution; our dealings are with you as nation. No constitu- tion is worthy of free and civilized country that does not insure the punish ment of crime and the protection of the weak. If your constitution is wanting in that it is your business to mend it."
 The court of King Humbert is exposed to the criticism of the malevolent, owing to the known partiality of the sovereign for America and Americans. Several of Queen Marguerite's favorite ladies are of American birth. The wife of Count Gia- notti, Prefect of the palace, was, before marriage, Constance Kenney, of New York. The Princess Biancaccio. lady in waiting, was Miss Field, of New York. The wife of Cavalier Peruzzi, one of the Queens personal equerries, was Miss Bolighetti was Miss Spencer, of New Varb

This Mornings London Times Says the
 Italian A flair is Not Serious.
 LONDON, April 2.-The Times this morning devotes its leading article to the diplomatic difficulty between America and Italy, saying among other things:
 "The deadlock, it must be owned, is pretty complete. If Italy chooses to ignore the peculiar Constitution of the United States, her action in recalling her Minister logically follows. On the other hand, no one who understands American law can be surprised at the attitude of Mir. Blaine or the Attorney-General of Louisiana. The latter declares that the inquiries which arc being made by the grand jury are all that can be asked for. There is a recognized procedure, and that procedure is being followed.
 "The New Orleans lynching came al- most at the moment of the accession to power of the new Italian Cabinet. It is not a homogeneous Cabinet; quite the contrary. It commands an extremely un- certain majority in the Chamber and comprises men who on the slightest pro- vocation would fly at one another as read fly as Crispi's old colleagues flew at him in the debate which overthrow him. In such circumttances a little foreign com plication is sensational, but not serious. It is 8 godsend, and insures the new Premier's reputation for patriotism that is everything in new country like Italy. That anything moro serious is intended we do not believe.

 P1rrsBURG, April 2.-The situation in the coke region continues grave. No law lessness has occurred for forty-eight hours, but the operators are still appre- hensive and look for an outbreak at any time. It is asserted that the word has been passed around for a general move ment tomorrow morning.
 The strike leaders say it is not true that the time for the inauguration of the eight-hour movement has been changed from May 1.
 The situation is desperate in the coke regions, and the leaders, recognizing this, have determined to put their money in the coke strike and make the eight-hour movement elsewhere an after considera- ton. No general strike of miners, they say, will be ordered until after the inter state conference of mine owners and workers in this city next Tuesday.

ITALY'S TASTY MOVE

 Position Plainly.
NoALARM FELT AT WASHINGTON
The United States Does Not Propose to
 be Bullied.

Italy's Minister Tells Minister Porter
 What He Thinks of the American Con- stitution-Londoners See War Ahead.
 but the 'Thunderer'' Says the Trouble
 Is Not serious-New Orleans Excited.
 WASHINGTON, April 2.-Secretary 3. Blaine makes public long letter to the Italian government in reference to the New Or leans affair and the action of Italy in re- calling Baron Fava.
 In very diplomatic language, of course, he tells the Italian government that it has made fool of itself.
 He recognizes that Baron Fava is no longer Minister to this country from Italy by addressing his communication to the Marquis Imperiai, who has been left in charge of the legation here.
 He states that two demands have been made by the Italian governmnnt-the first that the lynchers shall be punished, and the second that a monetary repara, tion be made for the loss of the lives of the citizens of Italy killed in New Or, leans.
 The first he disposes of by saying that Louisiana guarantee that no man can be punished except after fair trial by jury. They will be tried when indicted, but it is impossible for the United States to guarantee their conviction.
 As for the monetary part of the propo- sition, MT. Blaine says that the President about decided to accede to this, but that he didn't propose to be hurried.
 This is the substance of Secretary Blaine's ultimatum, stripped of diplo- matic verbiage:
 It does not, however, unravel the tangle at all, and the situation is as complicated as before.
 It, however, has the effect of turning the tables on on the Italians and holding them up to ridicule.
 If Italy, however, will take nothing but what she has demanded it is very evident from MT. Blaine's letter that the United States don't care a continental.
 This will hardly serve to molify the Italians, however, and Washington is waiting to see whether or not Blaine's sarcasm will cause the hot-headed Italians to take some action in the matter.

 PrrrsBURG, April 2.-The following has been received from Mount Pleasant, Pa.:
 "One hundred and fifty Hungarians, many of whom were drunk, have just gone to the Standard works. The situa- tion here is critical indeed. Shouting, intermingled with pistol shots, can be plainly heard in the direction of More wood. The Huns are gathering recruits, and it is thought they will soon return to Morewood.
 Morewood, bleodshed will undoubtedly follow, as the company seems determined to repel any raid of strikers

WHAT ITALY WANTS.
Punishment of the Lynehers as We'll as
 Compensation.

Punishment of the Lynchers as We'll as
 Compensation.
 ROME, April 2.-The tenor of Baron Fava's note to MT. Blaine is that what Italy asked and still asks is, the Federal governments guarantee that regular legal proceedings will be taken against the culprits in the New Orleans lynching, and that the Federal government will ad- init in principle its obligations to pay an indemnity to the families of tss vic tims.
 The note adds that Italy cannot; and is not, called upon to discuss American in- stitutions, but must urge upon the Fed eral government the observation of the principles of international law. Italy hopes that the Federal government will appreciate the obligation incumbent upon it as a government of civilized country to accede to Italy's just demands.
 If this should not be the case, the Kings Minister must, by order of his government, declare that he quits post where his legitimate action as the Kings representative has proved in nefficacious.

A QUEER FAMILY.
Seven Children Who Have Very Peculi
 Characteristics.

Seven Children Who Have Very Peculiar
 Characteristics.
 AMunson (Pa.) dispatch to the Phila' delphia Inquirer says: People in this locality claim to have among them the queerest family as to physical peculiar ity in the whole country. Jacob Hiers, a farmer in moderate circumstances, has seven children. The oldest is six teen, a bright boy, but having thirteen fingers and thirteen toes-seven on one hand and six on the other, his toes be- ing similarly divided. Next to him is another boy, fourteen years old. AS long as this boy is quiet no one would suppose he had any peculiarity, but the moment he opens his mouth to talk he loses all control of his hands, arms, feet and legs. and they jerk and thrash and kick around as if they were hung on wires.
 The boy is as slow of speech as his limbs are active, and in answering 8 simple question 1t is no uncommon thing for his legs to have carried him a rod or more away before he is able to articulate yes or no. The boy does not seem to mind his afiiction, and not only does not hesitate to respond or try to, when he is addressed, but is always ready to begin a conversation on the slightest excuse. He can be seen al- most any day arguing with or explain ing some point to some companion, who is kept constantly busy either in avoid ing the involuntary kicks or blows of the boys sprightly feet or hands or in following him briskly to keep the run of the subject.
 The third child Is a girl, who is 8 hunchbaclS and dwarf. She is twelve years old. A boy next to her is deaf and dumb. The fifth child has bright red birthmark encircling her neck like piece of red flannel It is an inch and ! a half wide. The other two children are twins, three months old-a boy and a girl The boys head is covered with hair enough for a grown person, while the girl hasn't the sign of a hair upon the head, the little poll being as white and shiny as billiard ball. The girl Is fat and the boy lean. When the boy laughs the girl cries Justify, and when his little sister is merry the boy sheds tears and yells.
 Every one of these seven children is handsome and mentally bright. Mrs. HIers is 8 fine-loolring woman, and her husband is sound physically and men, tally.

The man who tells diseases at A 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 patient themselves.
 His mode and strange manner of de- scribing diseases, giving thus, without word or hint, the plainest and most con- else history of its incipiency, progress and termination surprises and convinees every body that he thoroughly understands their case and condition, making it an easy matter for him to determine whether disease is curable or not, and if curable, no time is lost in its 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 we'll 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 skeptical. Remember,

PARIS, April 2.-It is believed in diplo- matic circles that the action of the Italian Government in so unexpectedly recalling its Minister to the United States, Baron Fava, is owing to the fears of the Ministry that, unless some decided course was at once adopted in the prem ises . Cabinet crisis or the commission of some overt act must inevitably grow out of the present excited condition of popu- lar feeling in Italy.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., April 2.-The ab- sence of telegraph and telephone facilities in many towns in the State renders a complete statement of the result of the election impossible before this evening, even were the count finished; but the Australian system of voting causes so much delay in the counting of the ballots that at noon the figures are incomplete.
 Nevertheless it is apparent that there has been no election of the State ticket by the people, unless very great and unex- pected changes are shown in the returns yet to be received.
 It is equally apparent that unless the figures yet to come are greatly changed the Republicans have carried the Assem- bly by safe working majority in each House, thus insuring the ultimate cleo tion of the Republican ticket.
