haven Sandstone company quarry. The
match safe is in the shape Of stump of "a

ENGLAND STANDS IN
London Papers Uphold the italian
Premier


LONDON, April THE Telegraph SAYS:
at would scarcely appear consistent to
italy to be told that it is uncertain
whether the murdered men were Italians,
whilst they were Iynched and the lynch
ing was palliated on the ground that they
were members of the Italian society, The
contrast between the precipitancy of the
siayers, the cOmplaceucy of the munich
pal authorities and the deliberate Skcpti-
cism Of Blaine might well move a less
high spirited nation that Italy to reSOlute
measures. We are deeply gricVed TO de-
clare it our opinion that the world ranges
itself against America. 1t is scarcely
wise for American papers to be clustering.
The Italian navy is in a condition of the
highest efficiency The hope Of a speedy
and equitable adjustment of this perilous
quarrel lies with the vast body of upright,
honorable feeling prevailing in the repub.
lie. There is no prospect that King
HHmbert viii abate his Just demands
The Standard says: "The Marquis of
Rudini has every right to insist that the
sins of the Malta have nothing to do with
the case. President Iarrison'S ministers
appear to have thought that formal ex-
preston Of regret would suffice, but Italy
is the last country from which such a
compliance would be expected There is
no occasion to fear, for abundant reasons
financial, political and Stratcgical-eX
why Italy should not hurl herself against
America. Fava'S uitimatum is described
as bringing home to the federal authori-
ties the unsatisfactory character Of their
attitude. 1t is unfortunate OF President
IIarrsOn's advisers that they are com
PEELED to suffer for errors for which they
are not primarily responsible. King
HHmbert is doing service 20 the world tn
thus drawing attention to this defect in
the American constitution
The Chronicle says: Baron Fava is
not entitled TO fix the day Of redress. If
he can disregard the American conStitu-
tion he must not ignore American geo
graphy, but must allow reasonable
time for inquiries We cannot believe
the Washington government will acqui-
eSce I'm the question. 1t is potent to deal
as a party in power, shown by its success
fully asserting its authority over all the
states at the time of the civil war, and
now il is pledged to make the federal
power supreme on international questions.
1t is plausible TO believe that Marquis
di Rudini yielded to popular clamor. The
rupture is to be regretted, though war is
unlikely, unless America should reply TO
Baron Fava's malice by prohibiting 1tal-
ian immigration"

Chief Engineer Donovan left on the

EXPECTING A RECONCILIATION
Bismarck and Emperor William to Meet
as Friends


HAMBURG, April 2-It is believed that
the kaiser may meet Bismarck upon visit
ing Altoona and that they will come to
frank understanding.
BERLIN, April 2-The telegram Of birth
day congratulations from the kaiser to
Prince Bismarck is universally recognized
as a graceful act on the part of the young
sovereign and as tending to soften, If not
eiIace, the remaining asperity between
them. 1t Is stated that when Prince Bis
marck received the imperial message, he
stood uncovered while it was being read
TO him and seemed to be deeply gratitied
The princess is also represented as having
been more pleased than her husband. The
celebration was one of the grandeSt spon-
teAaneOus demonstrations that Germany
has witnessed and the generally expressed
opinion OF the newspapers is that Bis
marck was right when he said that as
minister he could not have commanded
such testimony Of popular good will

Everything Bears a Calm and
Peaceful Aspect at
Washington
President Harrison is Arrang-
ing for His Proposed
Western Trip
Italian Residents in New York
Telegraph to Italy Urg-
ing Moderation

WASHINGTON, April 2-Secretary Blaine
is transacting routine business, and there
is nothing new in the Italian situation
Baron Fava has made application for pass
ports. Marquis fmperaii has not
acknowledged the receipt Of Blaine's let
ter sent him yesterday evening. Among
the first callers OF the secretary were the
British minister and Sir Charles Tupper of
Canada, who talked with the secretary an
hour, presumably about the seal fisheries,
reciprocity and other matters foremost in
the minds of Canadians
That the president does not believe tn G
Italian embroglio will take a serious turn
is evidenced by the fact that he is making
arrangements for his trip south and west
during the present month. This morning
he approved an itinerary covering four
weeks, beginning April 10th. Visits will
be made to the principal cities of Virginia,
Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas,
Arizona, New Mexico, California and
probably Washington. New Orleans is
not included in the route. The party will
number about ten persons.
ROME, April 1T is learned from relia-
bic sources that United States Minister
Foster has done much to pacify the Italian
government and won over to his way of
thinking other ministers, several of whom
have been trying to induce Premier di
Rudini to be less hasty. The idea Of war
is secuted in diplomatic and government
circles, and it is said it has been definitely
decided upon that evenif Fava withdraws
ii will only be to make a fOrcibe protest
well known in diplomacy, which will not
be the fOrerunner of a conflict between the
United States and Italy. The Italian
cabinet ministers are in receipt Of large
number of cablegramS and letters from
prominent Italians in New York urging

RUN ON A ROCK
Warner Miller Shipwrecked on His
Way to Nicarauga


NEW YORK, April 2-At the Office OF the
Nicarauga Canal company, in this city, a
cablegram was received today from Chief
Engineer Menicai, az Greytown, giving
the facts connected with the mishap to
the steamship Aguan, which left New
York two weeks ago with President War
ner Miller and party Of his friends, who
intend to inspect the company's works.
The steamer went on Ronciadoris reef
200 miles from GreytOwn, on March 26
Her lifebOat was at once launched and
succeeded in reaching Greytown.
The United States gunbOat Petrel, OF
New Orleans, and the Mexican c0astinR
steamer CaraZO Immediately went TO the
assistance of the wrecked party, all OF
whom were safe and well when the life
boat left them.
1t Is expected that further news will be
received this evening, but as yet It is not
known in what condition the Petrol and
CaraZo found the Aguan.
She was in a dangerous position wher
the lifeboat left her, and was likely to gC

she would hold together several days Il

LYNCHERs' PROSECUTION
Judge Maria, of New Orleans, Says Is
Impossible


New ORLEANS, April 2-Judge Maria,
presiding magistrate over the section Of
the criminal district court in which the
grand jury is now serving, yesterday ex-
pressed his private opinion that nothing
would ever be done TO the lyRchers who
caused the killing of the Italians. 1t is
impossible to criminally prosecute 5000
persons. he said, and referred to the IA
nous passage in Bruke's Grafton, that
there is no law under which the whole
community can be indicted. Even ii the
grand jury were to indict the leaders, no
Jury could ever be secured to try them.
Such publicity has been given to the
affair that every one is cOnversant with
the facts OF the case and no one is with
out fixed opinion.
A close examination Of the record of the
eleven alleged assassins disclOses that all
but four Of the eleven slain were regis
tered voters, either by birth or naturaliZ-
alton. The four others, whom Consul c..
Corte claims as entitled to the protection
OF his government, are Tfahiaa, Bag
netto, MOnasterio and Cumitez. The
first-named is found to have been a voter
in the parish of st. Charles. Bagnetto is
proved to have been a fugitive murderer
from PaimerO and member of the EX-
posito band Of highwaymen. Marchest
was a veteran Of Garibaldi's army, but
fled from PalmerO while charged with
numbering a female. Trahina was also a
robber in Italy. OF Comitez, nobody
seems to know anything. He and
Monasterio we're buried in the potter
field.
Consul Corte is doing all he can to reach
the facts in the affair, and though he has
not received that courtesy at the hands OF
Governor Nichols and Mayor Shakespeare
that his position warrants, the grand jury
is holding daily sessions.

A MYSTERIOUS Death

TACOMA, April 2-The mysterious in
cidents surrounding the killing OF Rass-
mus Rasmussen, the Dane who lived on
a flatboat in the bay and worked as black
smith helper for the gas and water com
pany, lead Coroner Frank to order a
special inquiry. Rassmuss Rasmussen
has no friends in this city, but his mother
resides in Denmark. He saved up 81 900,
but no trace of 1t can now be found. He
only 35 cents OF which was found in his
pockets when the body was found. The
letter, which it is said he left, cannot be
Identified, and IT is now believed Kass-
mussen was robbed and murdered by an
other Dane, who wrote a letter In Danish
to deceive his friends. Rassmussen's right
boot was off. to convey the idea that in
blowing out his brains he had pulled the
trigger of the gun with the great toe.

One Man BADLY Beaten about the
Head

Head
A fight took place Wednesday evening
Ia the Exchange saloon during which
J, r. Burns was badly beaten
about the face and head by +. W. Fisher,
Que Of the proprlctors of the Exchange
saloon. There are several versions Of the
affair justfying and coudemuing the ac-
tiou according 10 the likes and disiikes
and prciudicoS Of the uarratOrs The
Fisher version is substantially as. follows:
Early Wednesday morning Burns entered
the Exchange in an intoxicated condi-
tion and without cause or justification
commenced 10 abuse Fisher. The latter
wishing to avoid trouble left
the place. That same evening Burns re-
turned and applied several vile epithets
TO Fisher and called him every vile name
he could lay his tongue 10. Fisher finally
struck Burns with pistol and Knocked
him down and continued to beat him
until stopped by bySjaHder.
The Burns side admit that he was in
toXicated but contend that Fisher was not
justified in beating him. Burns asked
Fisher to loan him some money and upon
the iatter's refusal he abused him but not
very harshly.
Burns is known as quiet peaceable
man when sober. but Is inclined to be
abusive when drunk Fisher does not
seem TO be justified in taking the law in
his own hands and could easily have OBJ
Waited the difficulty by calling in a police
officer or asking Burns friends 10 remove
him
Dr. Thomas dressed Burns injuries
and states that none are OF a serious
character. although there are several
severe scalp wounds
