GOLD COMING BACK.

I'm Payment for American Crops-Ginen.
ths Great statistician, Predicts . silver
Crisis In America
LONDON. Sept "a The leading Hnan-
ciers in London are all OF the opinion
that further large shipments of gold
are going To America A prominent
Official of the Rothschilds said, that 1t
was uncertain whether France would
make the bulk of the gold exports or
whether the burden would fall on
England But considering the
tact that France has q worse harvest
than England 1t would seem that she
should send the bulk of the gold. The
Bank of France may, however, as on
former occasions. obstruct the exports
by raising the premium on full weight
coin The Bank of England is certain
to raise the rate of discount, but ac-
cording To the chief clerk, more gold
viii 20 TO America in spite of the ef-
forts to prevent il.
Robert Gifeu, head of the CONNER
cal department and comptroller OF
ccrn returns OF the British board OF
trade. who is admittedly the greatest
statistician in England, was asked
what truth there was in the calcula-
ton that England and the continent
would be forced to part with gold
amounting 10 $50, 600, 900 TO pay for the
imports of American grain. Mr.. Giffen
ridiculed the estimate. He said that
before $40. 0oo,0 900 in bullion was sent
to America both the Bank of England
II
their rates of discount and check the
drain. According to Mr.. Giffen no bull
lion. but securities and exports, will go
to America to pay for grain. Undoubt-
edly, he said. there would be heavy
drain of gold for several months to
come, but the payments for grain were
not the sole cause of such drain. An
important factor in the financial situa-
ton was the silver question. Stable
American houses, he declared, were
making preparations to face silver
crisis by making gold purchases in Eu-
rope.
When asked II such crisis was in
evitable Mr.. Giffen replied; 'In my
opinion it Is impossible to avert It
The United States have become over
loaded with paper currency. The issue
OF silver certificates to the amount of
e1a,ooo.0oo sterling annually was a
gross legislative mistake, and is bound
to bring a crash speedily" In response
to al inquiry as to how soon the crash
could be expected, Mr.. Giffen said:
February win probably realize the
worst of the position do not see how
grave trouble can be averted by
remedial. legislation. There is hardly
time to avert it. even il the two parties
in congress could agree upon the

DEATH TO MALTA
NEW ORLEANS PEOPLE AVENGE
CHIEF HENNESSY'S DEATH
Eleven Of His Assassins Shot Down
in the Parish Prison Yard.
PROMINENT CITIZENS ARE
THE 4 VENG ERS.
d quiet bit Determined Mob

Dispatches Of the 18th instant,
from New Orleans, La, say: New
Orleans struck the Malta death
blow to-day. 1t rose in its might
at almost midday and wreaked a
terrible vengeance upon the Sicil-
ian assassins, who relentlessly slew
David G. Hennessy last October,
and although there are now eleven
men dead who only a few hours be-
fore their death were happy over
their victory in one Of the greatest
criminal trials the city of New Or
leans ever witnessed, the work of
blood was accomplished without
unnecessary disorder, rioting, or
pillaging, and without the infic-
ton of suffering upon an innocent
man, save one, and he was only
slightly hurt. It was the work of
a sullen determined body Of citi-
zens who took into their own hands
what justice ANONYMOUSLY failed
to do.
When on Friday the jury rend-
cred a verdict Of not guilty as re-
garded six of the Italians on trial
and disagreed as to the other three
an omnibus murmur of indignation
washeard. The press unanimously
denounced the verdict and declared
that the jury had been bought.
The grand jury had already found
indictments against two men on
charge of tampering with the jury
and other indictments were expect
ed. The jurors did not appreciate
the public sentiment on the outside
and were surprised at the public
indignation. Mr.. Seligman, the
foreman of the jury explained that
the verdict was formed because the
jury did not believe the State wit
nesses, but the explanation was
howled down with derision.
The excitement over the verdict
reached fever heat by night and
four secret meetings were held to
consider the situation. The trial
had cost the city $4,000 and lasted
for over a month, and yet not one
of the murderers had been convict
ed. The general feeling was that
new trial would result in the ac-
quittal Of all the men. Whispered
threats were heard and nearly ev.
cry prominent citizen approached
with the question whether he woalC
join an organization to ayenge the
law.

AVENGED.

III numbers were swept away like
chaH and an entrance to the prison
effected. Keys to the cells were Sc
cured, and the murderers searched
for. Six escaped to the courtyard
and crouched down beside the row
Of cells with blanched and pleading
faces turned toward the avengers,
but they were given no quarter.
Bang, bang, bang, rang out the
murderous weapons and a deadly
rain of bullets poured into the
miserable crouching figures pro-
ducing instant death.
Two were taken to the outside
and hung one to lamp-post, the
other to tree. Three others were
killed in the cells and as they ran
along the corridors seeking to es-
cape the death that overlook them.
Names of the killed were: Rocco
Geraci, Peter Monasterio, Charles
Trahina, Jim Caruso, Loretto Com
itez, Frank Romero, Antonio Scat
fedi, Joseph P. Macheca, Antonio
Bagnetto, Manuel Politez, and old

A HISTORY OF THE CASE.
On October Is, 1890, about IL
o'clock at night, ID. G. Hennessey,
chief of police of the city of New
Orleans, going from his Office to
his home, was waylaid and shot to
pieces by band Of Italian assas-
sins, armed with such blunder-
buses as could have only been
made and used for the purpose of
assassination. The indignation
and the excitement was such that
mob law and lynching were about
to be resorted to.
The entire community felt that
in the endeavor to reach the guilty
parties innocent Italians might be
sacrificed, and to allay excitement
and to assist the constituted author
tiles the mayor of the city appoint
ed committee of fifty representa-
tive citizens to take charge of the
Investigations and to aid in the trial
and conviction of the assassins.
| This measure arrested violence
The committee entered upon its
work, and at a mass-meeting subse-
quently held in front Of the city
hall the action Of the committee
was ratified, and they were encour-
aged to continue their labors to Sc.
cure the prosecution and trial in the
courts.
