Italians at Cooper Union Hall.

Cooper Union hall OF New York city
was packed with 5000 Italians on the
evening Of the 21st inst. They were
called together to denounce the New
Orleans tragedy. The meeting was
presided over by A. DeAngelo, and the
speeches were almost terrifying in their
vehemence. The hall was draped with
American and italian flags and fes-
toons OF black crepe. On the plat
form were q few ladies among the 200
prominent Italians, while in the body
OF the house only one woman was to
be seen.
When President DeAngelo stepped
to the front of the platform and
raped for order there was a lull
in the noise OF the hall. He said,
quietly and impressively, "Italiari!"
A moments silence, then a roar of
"bravo" burst from the thousands f
italian throats. The applause was
resistless in it's vehemence for fully
five minutes, and it was so through
the entire meeting. Everv man was
excited to the highest pitch. But a
word seemed necessary to transform
them into throng OF demons. The
committe in charge seemed to realize
this, and took every precaution to
avoid any trouble.
Resolutions deplorlng and denounc-
ing the tradegy and demanding repair
alton were passed and ordered sent to
President Harrison and Italy's pre-
mier.

1t Was Unexpected.

A special telegram from Bismarck,
N. D., dated the Esd inst. says for the
first time in the history of Bismarck
saloon has been closed by hand OF
law. This was done on the 21st inst.
when Sheriff Donnelly arrested Millard
Shibley by order OF the district attor-
ney on the charge of selling intoxicat-
ing liquors contrary to the provisions
OF the ironclad prohibitionlaw. Arm
ed with search warrant, the sheriff
proceeded to explore the mysteries Of
Shibley's place. where he found sever
al jugs OF various wines and few
cases of lager beer, which were seized
as evidence against the proprietor.
The complaint was made by one
Joseph Robidou. who testified that
he and others drank whisky at the
bar on March 7 and at different times
prior to that date. Robidou's S
action is thought to be the out
come of a personal grudge. as his cous-
in, Charles White, was shot in Shib
ley's saloon two weeks ago by "Bob"
Roberts. Both were under the infiu-
ence ofliquor. White was shot through
the lett ear and badly hurt. His as.
sailant is now in jail awaiting trial.
Shibley furnished bonds for his ap-
pearace in the sum of $1,000, with
Frank Kihm and Joseph Dielsich sur
cites.
Shibley was paralyzed with aston
ishment when the sheriff called on him
and made known his mission. The
other saloonkeepers were also corresr
pondingly surprised, and will be eau.

ATTEMPTED Suicide.

Mrs. Carl Emerson, wife of a cigar
manufacturer OF Fargo, N. D., attempt
ed suicide on the 21st inst, by cutting
her throat with a razor: For some
time past symptoms of insanity have
been noticeable in her actions and
strict watch has been kept over her.
Twice before she has made attempts
on her life, but was discovered before
anything serious happened. The
night before the tragedy Mr.. Emerson
noticed she had secreted razor and
knife in the bedroom, and from her
actions he suspected she intended
making another attempt upon her
life. He went to bed as usual but kept
awake all night. About seven O'Clock
in the morning he dropped into doze
from which he was awakened by loud
noise in the kitchen, to which he quick
ly ran and found that Mrs. Emerson
had again secured the razor and in.
flicted several deep gashes across her
throat. Physicians were Immediately
summoned and the wounds sewed up.
She will probably be taken to the asy.
lum at Jamestown as soon as she re.
covers sufficient strength.

Codes of Their Own.

A special dispatch from Ottawa,
Ont, says that detective who re-
Gently visited British Columbia on
business for the government, stated
that during his stay in Victoria he
saw enough to convince him that the
Chinese in that province were admin
istering punishment under their own
ordinances and according to their own
civil and criminal code. He said he
learned OF two cases in which crimi-
nails had been tried under the code
and secretly beheaded, unknown to
the local authorities. He is OF the
opinion that many Chinese are thus
dealt with on the Pacific coast which
the local police never hear OF. 1t is
almost impossible to secure evidence
to convict them under dominion law,
as it means death to any OF them to
reveal what goes on il their own tri-
bunals.

The Liquor Traffic.

Gen. Nettleton, acting secretary OF
the treasury, has issued a circular let
ter to correct the impression that the
government issues permission or Ii
cense for carrying on theliquor traffic.
His letter goes to show simply that
where the traffic is conducted the deal
er must pay revenue duties under
stamp act to the amount OF S25 per
annum. He points out the fact, how
ever, that no permission is given by
the United States government to con.
duct such business in any place con-
trary to local legislation, and that
across the face OF the stamp is sinscrib-
ed the following statement, embracing
the substance OF section 3,243 OF the
revised statutes:
This stamp is simply a receipt for a
tax paid the government, and does
not exempt the holder from any pen
atty or punishment provided for by

nA1N-FA1L IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES

*Thc foregoing is not fair average for these
two states as these months are In their dry
season.
Another very important feature ls
the temperature which should not ex-
ceed 70 degrees F. for the summer
months, and the Dakotas have a
climate particularly adapted to beet
culture.
A few brief suggestions as to the
cultivation, and l must close, as my
remarks are tso--leTgthy now. First
select good ground; free from manure,
and plow 10 or;12 inches deep in the
spring. (Fall plowing is desirable, il
possible.) 1t is necessary to plow deep
to give the:roots o. chance to pene-
trate the soil, as the part left above
the surface yields little or no sugar.
Give the land thorough preparation
before sowing:
The planting must be carefully done
OBSCURE the desired results. Theseed
should go into the ground in May, and
as soon as the temperature is about
so degrees f., SOW the seed in rows 1s
inches apart and cover to the depth Of
about one inch. Sow plenty OF seed
Medium sized beets yield more sugar
per acre than large ones.
The cultivation must be frequent
and thorough. This is an important
factor in raising good crop. After
the appearance OF the fourth leaf, the
thinning process must commence. The
proper time is Immediately after a
rain, and can be done the best with a
sharp hoe, cutting across the row,
leaving small bunch standing every
six inches. Cut just deep enough
to prevent any after growth. Thenpull
all the plants but onein each bunch,
by hand. This must be done with
great care. Keep them properly cul
tivated, stirring the soil an inch or two
above the surface and throwing the
dirt toward the beet.
The crop should be gathered before
frost Injuries it. The tops are cut
square off with sharp knife, after
the beets are pulled, and left en- the
ground as fertilizer. The beets are
then ready for the factory. You will
be surprised at the results it careful
work is done. No crop raised yields
better returns for the work done than
the sugar beet. I trust all our farm
er friends will aid us in thisgood work
and, if they do, we will, in a short
time, make our own sugar, and have
refneries located at every available
point.
am indebted to the report OF Hon
w. H. Wiley for valuable information

Reply to Blaine.

Secretary Blaine has received q tele-
gram from Gov. Nichols, of Louisiana.
in the killing OF the II Italians in New
Orleans, OF which the following is q
copy:
Executive Department, State of
Louisiana-Baton Rouge, La March
21, 1891.-Hon. James G. Blaine,
Secretary Of State, Washington, d. G.
Sir: At q late hour on the 18th
inst. l received q dispatch from you,
having reference to the turcible break
ing, on the 18th OF this month, OF the
Jail in this city, and the killing OF IL
persons confined their, under indlct-
ments found in the criminal district
courts for the parish OF New Orleans.
You stated to me that it had been
represented to the President, by the
minister OF Italy, accredited to the
government OF the United States that
among the killed on thai occasion
were three or four subjects OF the King
of Italy. The telegram disclosed an
apprehension, on the part OF the min
lister, evidently shared by the Presi-
dent, that the disturbance was q con-
tinuous and swelling disturbance
which might involve the Italian sub
iects in New Orleans.
l have reason to believe that the
hope expressed by the President, that
would cooperate with him in main
tanning the obligations OF the United
States toward Italian subjects who
might be within the peril OF the excite
ment and that further violence and
bloodshed might be prevented, was
based upon that belief. The Presi-
dent expressed the hope that all Of
tenders might be promptly brought to
justice.
On the 10th instant 1 telegraphed
you that there was no excitement in
the city at that time, and that I s,lw
no reason to anticipate further trou-
BILE. | also stated that the action
taken was directed against particular
individuals, and that the race or ma
tionality OF the parties did not enter
as q factor in the disturbance. A
week has passed since the date of my
dispatch, and the opinion then enter
tained as to the termination of the
trouble has proved to have heen well
founded"
The men as 1 have stated were con-
fined in prison, under indictments
found in the criminal district court for
the parish OF New Orleans; the sheriff
has made his return of the fact to
that court; the judge thereof had
charged the grand jury, now in ses-
sion, in regard to the matter, and the
whole subject is, l assume, now under
investigation by that body. I am
satisfied that most OF the persons kill
ed were American citizens, but it is
probable that two or three were Ital-
ian subjects. have the honor to be,
very respectfully,
FRANCIS T. NICHOLS, Governor.
Gov. Nichols letter is written on
official paper and is dated at the capi
tai OF the state. 1t is evident, how.
ever, that it was written in New Or
leans, as it speaks OF the killing as
having occurred at the Jail in "this''
(that) city. Secretary Blaine has
sent a copy OF the letter to Baron
Fava, the Italian minister.

join in a movement which is being or
ganized to avenge the recent murder
OF their countrymen at New Orleans
next month. The name of this cor
respondent, or the city in which he re-
sides, he positively refused to disclose.
The letter informed Scarpeli that it
was proposed to raise an army of 14,-
600 Italians, promises having been re-
ceived from Italy that 14,C00 stand
of arms would be sent to them If that
number OF men were raised In the
United States and Canada to march
against the Crescent city.
Michael Basso, an interpreter, OF
Toronto, says that Canada can be de-
pended upon to supply 1000 armed
Italians to avenge the men killed in
the New Orleans Jail in the event OF
the Italian government failing to Sc.
cure redress from the Uuited States
government.

Following the tenement house hor-
ror at Hester and Allen SITS, New York
city, in which four persons perished,
reports came to the police oftwo clear
and indubitable cases OF attempted
incendiarism OF a particularly afro.
cious kind, a third case almost as
clear, and a fourth in which there is
good reason to believe that such das-
tardly work was planned. In all, the
lives OF 5S families, comprising 800
persons, were placed in jeopardy by
these attempts, each fire having been
started in q tenement house.
A tive-story tenement, numbered
20 1-2 Catherine st, is occupied by
Michael Schrender, John Strogenis
and Andrew Maschrides, Polish jew
tailors, who slept and worked there.
A policeman happened to see the win
dows OF these apartments brilliant
with light. Then there was sudden
burst OF flame which illuminated the
interior, and the policeman saw one
OF the tailors with q can In his hand,
the contents OF which he was empty
around the room, while the other two
Poles stood in the background. The
officer started for the apartments,
and when he reached there, quickly
smothered the fire with q mattress.
The three tailors looked on without
showing excitement or anxiety, and
did not offer to assist the officer in
subduing the flames. They were ar
rested. They saidthey had upset a
lamp.
Another fiendish plot was discover,
ed in the tenement on E 21st st, which
is occupied by over one hundred peo.
pie. Chas. BALI, barkeeper, smelled
smoke when he went home at q. m.
He aroused the inmates and q search
revealed the fact that a heap of rub
bish under the stairs was burning. The
plot evidently was to cut off escape
by the stairs. The fire escapes are
somewhat deficient. The inmates
were Mortified to find that the knobs
to the front doors OF this and the
three adjoining tenements had been
removed, so that the people would
have been entraped like rats.
The Brooklyn incendiaries are still
at work. On the 23d inst. q fire was
found to have been kindled under the
stairway in the basement of the tene
ment 900 Michael av, occupied by sew
eral families. 1t was in storeroom
which is generally kept locked. The
lock had been broken. The people in
the house were panic stricken, but all
got out safely and the fire was extin-
guished without doing much damage
Newark also has its tiiebugs. On
the 23d inst, fire was discovered on
the second floor of the tenement, 81
Boyd street. The flames rapidly
communicated to two adjoining ten
ements. There were about dozen
Polish families in the tenements.
There were many narrow escapes, and
| two persons who are missing are sup
posed to have perished in the flames.
The buildings were burned out. The
floor in which the fire was discovered
was occupied by Solomon Epstern.
His apartments, it Is said, had been
saturated with oil.

RIOTER AND JUDGE.
History Called to Mind by the Recent
Troubles in New Orleans.

troubles Ill New orleans.
A former resident Of New Orleans
gives a bit of history which confirms
the belief that the people OF the Cres.
cent City are not in earnest in any
condemnation of Italian lynching
which they may make. This is due in
part prabably to the recollection to
the part Judge Mari, who made the
charge to the grand jury, has played
in proceedings similar to those which
he now denounces. The records OF the
department of justice show that the
the same judge was himself the leader
of the white league which Sept. II,
1874, rose against the recognized
state government and shot down forty
or fifty members of the state militia
in the street, for which offense no one
WAS ever brought to trial. Mr.. Mari
volunteered to lead the white league,
and did so. He arrested the agent
OF the governor in the West.
ern Union Telegraph office, as he
thought he had a telegram to Presi-
dent Grant, calling for United States
intervention, and believing he had in
tercepted the dispatches, he ordered
the cutting off OF all wires leading out
OF New Orleans in the direction OF
Washington. AS IL matter of fact the
momentous dispatch had been sent
fully five minutes before Mr.. Marr's
appearance in the telegraph office with
his body guard of white leaguers, with
fixed bay yonets, and the Western Union
company soon compelled him to per-
init the reconnection of the wires.
Next morning President Grant pro-
claimed Mr.. Mari and his associates
as rioters, and ordered their dispers.
al. For his services in this connec.
tion Mr.. Marr was appointed by Gov.
Nichols, during his first term of office,
associate justice OF the supreme court
OF Louisiana, and he subsequently re.
ceived q democratic nomination and
election to his present position as one
OF the judges Of the criminal courts OF
New Orleans.
