EscitabIe Italians.

Signor Imbriani, in the Chamber OF
Deputies at Rome Wednesday, speaking
on the African question, charged the
italian government with permitting the
slave trade TO be carried on openly. Signor
Imbriani also made the assertion that
thirty-five young girls, who had been
taken from their former owners under the
pretext of rescuing them from slavery,
had been distributed among q number OF
Italian officers serving with the Italian
army In Africa.
The Marquis Di Rudini, replying for the
italian government, protested against
such accusations being made without alb
solute proof of their trutn having been
first obtained.
Amidst cries of ats liei" with
drawp' the minister of war declared that
he would not remain in the house unless
the charge was withdrawn
A prolonged uproar, in which several
violent scenes were witnessed, followed
the announcement Of the determination Of
the minister OF war. The president of the
chamber was utterly unable to control the
excited deputies and consequently he was
compelled to suspend.

murderous Greeks.

A dispatch from Corfu gives the
particulars OF a serious outbreak of the
Greeks against the Jewish inhabitants.
The Greeks recently spread a report thai,
the Jews had murdered Christian girl
for the feast of the Passover. The report
was based upon the discovery of u child's
body in the Jewish quarter, though the
body was soon identified ar that OF the
daughter OF a leading Jew. The Jews in
their turn declared that the Greeks had
murdered the child as an excuse for riot
ing and p!undering.
The excitement over the murder finally
became so great that COO Jews were COM
pclled to close their shops and the govern
ment had TO put military Gordon around
the Jewish quarter. In spite or the coriou
a murderous crowd of Greeks broke into
the Jewish quarters and built bonfire in
the square in which they declared the
Jews should be burned, but before the
rioters could carry out their intentions
they were attacked and disposed of by a
detachmei OF troops, though not before
many Jews had been terribly beaten and
injured.

Sending Criminals to America.

An international question has
sprung up between the United States and
Germany, through the action of German
officials in sending TO this country an in
sane German criminal. The matter is one
of Importance, coming on the heels OF the
New Orleans trouble, and indicates the
intention on the part Of the United States
to institute more rigid inspection of cmi-
grants.
The case that gives rise 10 the action is
that OF Nicholas Bader, who recently
arrived in New York In an affidavit on
ile with the treasury department Bader
states that he is 81 years of age and that
he arrived from Germany at the port of

thatin 1864 he murdered girl with whom
he had been in love, for which crime he was
imprisoned one year, when he was de
elared insane and confined in an asylum
for twenty-four years, and from which he
was discharged somewhat over year ago;
that he requested 10 be sent to America

Torpedoes and English lrooelads.

The English admiralty has ordered
the officers commanding the British
squadron in Gillian waters to procure and
forward the most complete details of the
recent destruction of GILLIAN insurgeut
war vessels by torpedoes. The affair has
aroused the liveliest interest and anxiety
In British naval circles, and some naval
officers allege that it will render useless
the largest ironclads whose size and
weight prevent them from readily getting
away from danger. The British admiralty
has for some time past been giving special
attention TO the subject Of torpedoes and
believes that il possesses an Instrument
as near perfect as possible in the Brennan
torpedo, for which an immense sum has
been paid to the inventor. At present II
is said that the British naval authorities
are quietly endeayoring TO devise some
method Of protection against torpedoes,
but as yet they have nothing satisfactory.

Coal Miners VIII Not Strike.

The National Executive Board o.
the United Mine Workers OF America
concluded session of several days at
Columbus, Ohio. on the 2sth.
The meeting was called to hear state
ments from the presidents Of state miners
organizations relative TO the proposed
strike on May for the enforcement Of
the eight-hour labor day. The reports
were almost unanimous against the move
ment. Various reasons were given why
they could not enter upon strike at this
time.
In an address issued by them, the COM
mittee strongly endorses the eighthour
labor dag, but say that several reasons
make it seem unadvisable TO attempt to
secure such concession now. One i'm
poriant reason is that the funds of the
association have been heavily drawn upon

CERTAINLY it is desirable that every
competent voter should be required to
vote in all public elections. The ad-
visibility of adopting and enforcing a
law to that end is debatable for the rea-
son that such law would force upon
the minority Of peaceful well con-
Quoted citizens the surrender of a con-
stitutionally guaranteed liberty Of ac-
ton. If voting were made condition
of citizenship under the Republic state
legislation could specifically define the
