Sir Johns ElectioneerinC Dodge.

WASHINGTON, March 16-The Anglo Canadian interest in the Supreme Court proceeding seems to have completely evaporated. This indifference gives point to tho assertion heretofore freely made that the prohibition proceeding, with its theatrical accompaniments, was nothing but an electioneering dodge of Sir John Macdonald, who now has no further use for it. Acting Attorney Gen eral Taft said the United States govern ment would take no steps, so far as he was advised, to secure the dismissal of the proceedings instituted by the British government in the United States Supreme Court involving the jurisdiction of this government over the Behring Sea fisher ies, pending the reported reference of that issue to arbitration.

THE POLICE PUZZLED
TOttenville's Mystery More
 Complicated Than Ever.
IS THE VICTIM CARL RUTT1NGEK1
A Startling Statement Has Been Made to
 Inspector Bymea

Ruttinger's Life Was Insured for S2O. 900
 A Rumor that the Body Found Was a
 Subterfuge to Obtain the Insurance
 MOney-DiscIosures Are Soon Expected
 wright's Visit to Boston.
 NEW YORK, March 16-Tottenville' murder eclipses all the mysteries that have startled the public and puzzled the police during the last decade. Inspector Byrnes, familiar as he is with remarkable crimes, has stated that he never heard of a case that could equal it. Each new fact developed since the body was discovered has added to the riddle. Circumstances contradict themselves in an ineXplicable manner.
 There is theory that the police are working on with great secrecy. It is founded on the fact that District-Attor- ney Fitzgerald found insurance policies for SEQ, 900 among Ruttinger's effects in the Victoria Accidental Company of Der lin and the Keinische Accident Insurance Company of Leipsig.
 The policies are still in force and the premiums have been paid. There was found also a policy and receipt, book of bylaws of the Equitable Life Insurance Company of New York, which has a branch office in Dresden. The receipt shows that Ruttinger paid his last premi- um on the policy last November in Dres- den.
 The startling statement has been made to Inspector Byrnes and the Staten Island authorities by some one who claims to know, that Ruttinger is not dead at all and that the body found at Elliott's dock is merely "a subterfuge to get the insurance money. MT. New is the only one who has identified the body as RuttinUar He might he d0ceiyad 4 bod V may have been got from the Morgue in this city, Philadelphia or Boston for money, that resembled Ruttinger. This may have been what took Wright to Bos- ton.
 The bodies taken from the morgue in this city were all accounted for yesterday by Keeper White. It would have been easy to dress the body in Ruttinger's clothes, with absolute markf of identifica- tion upon them, aud drop the body where it would certainly be found. Inspector Byrnes is working on the case from this standpoint, and some startling disclosures are expected.

PARNELL's ENvoYs HERE.
An Address of Welcome Presented to The

An Address of Welcome Presented to Them
 by New York Irishmen.
 NEW YORK, March 16.-The delegates sent to this country by Mir. Parnell for the purpose of raising funds for the Ma tionalist movement arrived on the Etru- ria Yesterday. The delegation is composed of James J. O'Kelly, M. F.; John O'Con- nor, NJ. F.; w. H. K. Redmond, NJ. F., and Henry Harrison, NJ. 2.
 They were met down the bay by a re- ception committee on board a steamer, and Messrs. O'Kelly, Redmond and liar rison were transferred to it, while MT. O'Connor proceeded to the city on the Etruria.
 An address of welcome, signed by Michael Breslin as chairman, was pre- scented to the delegates. The address spoke of them as the representatives of Irish nationality as endorsed by Charles Stewart Parnell, leader of the Irish na- tion," and bade them a hearty welcome. The address protests against Ireland tamely submitting to the crack of the Gladstone whip by abandoning the only public leader of modern days whom Eng land has been unable to influence, pur- chase or deceive.
 The address was received with cheers. The envoys replied to the address, and ex- pressed themselves as hopeful of then present mission to this country.

Threatened by Female Lynchers.

P1TTsBURa, Pa., March 16.-The Vest ern Pennsylvania Humane Society re- ceived letter from Brownsville, Pa., signed, "Many Women" The letter stated that Elias Mitchell had been caught by H. B. Cassidy assaulting his 16-year- old girl, Maggie, and unless the society took action the women of Brownsville would lynch the father. Agent O'Brien investigated the case and found it as represented. Maggie is a pet child in the town. Proceedings have been com menced against Mitchell, who is a widower, 35 years old. The women of the town had organized to lynch Mitchell.

The Italians Will Hold Mass Meeting to

 NEW YORK, March 16.-Excited men gather in little groups on Mulberry street, and talk and gesticulate wildly as they discuss the death of their countrymen at New Orleans. The little shops and cafes are crowded.
 Of the 500, ,000 sons of Italy in America about S0,000 are located in New York. They support four newspapers and take the iveliest interest in the welfare of their countrymen in the United States. At two of the newspaper offices, L'Eco d'Italia and Il Proglesso Italo-Americano, bulletins are posted containing copies of the cable sent to Prime Minister Rudini and his reply. These were read by thou sands of Italians during the day.
 A meeting was held last night by rep resentatives of the Italian papers and ar engagements perfected to hold 8 mass meeting on some evening during the week at either Tammany Hall, Cooper In stitute or the Germania Assembly Rooms to protest against what is termed "the massacre of New Orleans"

 ROME, March 16.-The news of the mas sacre of the Italian prisoners in New Or. leans created profound sensation here, and cables have been passing between the Cabinet and the Italian Minister at Washington. The general feeling is one of the utmost indignation and thirst for reprisals in some form. An English vis- itor, who was mistaken for an American, had a narrow escape from being mobbed. It Is expected that the subject will be brought up in the Chamber of Deputies. In the talk on the streets and in public places strong protests were uttered against any representation of Italy at the coming American exhibi ,n.
 The Riforma denounces the lynching as an outrage and says it is disgrace to the United States that such acts are possible within its borders.

LOOKS LIKE A MURDER.
A Woman Found Dead st Atlantic Cit
 With Scars on Her Neck.


 ATLANTIC CrrY, N. J. March 16.-A death, which, to all appearances, looks like a murder, was discovered in this city by ex-As~ smblyman James S. Beckwith one of the proprictors of the Ocean House. A private cottage at No. 10S South Connec- ticut avenue, opposite the Ocean House, has been occupied since December by a middle aged maiden lady named Laura Purnell and & year-old baby.
 MT. Beckwith, seeing no signs of ac- tivity around the cottage during the last two days, decided to investigate. He knocked on the door, and receiving no response forced an entrance and found Miss Purnell dead upon the floor. The baby was beside the body crying. The police took charge of the body and began an investigation. The body was in a state of decomposition, and on the throat were scars, the flesh being slightly lacera- ted and the neck swollen.
 The room was in disorder and the body only partially clothed. Nothing that would serve as @ clew to the death of the woman was found. The neighbors' knowledge of her family connections is limited. She came to Atlantic City from Washington. The child's name is Au- burn Eden.
 On the table was letter signed by S. B. Bell, Loudonburg, Pa, addressed to Miss Purnell. The cottage is in the best portion of the city. The occupant was always we'll dressed and appeared to be an educated lady with plenty of money. The supposition is that she came here with the child, who is believed to be . relative, intending to be temporary cot tager. Heart disease is thought by some to be the cause of death. The police au- thorities are continuing their investiga.

PorAuoNTAs, Va, March 1G.-John lIersc, the Bohemian correspondent who went to investigate the alleged ill-treat- ment of Hungarians on the Elk Horn ex- tension in Virginia, has arrived at that place.
 He says. after a careful investigation, he found the report to be correct. The men were compelled to walk the entire distance of sixty miles, wading creeks and rivers, with only crackers to eat. The report of their escape, capture, being brought back, and whipped. is true and was not denied by the foreman of the works.

The Attendance Not so Large as at the
 Start of Previous Races.
 NEW YORK March 16.-The six days go- as-you-please race was started in Madison Square Garden at midnight. Bob Fitz- simmons, the pugilist, gave the word.
 The starters were E. O. Moore, John Hughes, Dan Herty, Robert Wheeler, George Manning, George Cartwright, Wm. Nolan, Frank Hart, Steve Brodie's Un- known, Daniel Burns, Lewis Seifert, Peter Golden, George Noremac, Pinkham He weka, Ed. Murphy, Gus Guerrero, John Click, Fred Wilson, w. Fl. Bunne1, Geo. Connors, Peter Hegleman, John Daily, Robert Peabody, Thomas Howarth, Geo. Bennett, Alfred Elson. H. O. Messie and M. Craig.
 Ex-Champion James Albert did not start, owing to his failure to obtain 8 guarantee of $3,000.
 The crowd was much smaller than that which has been present at the start of previous races.
 "Lepper" Hughes was the first man on the track, George Tracy made the first lap and Gus Guerrero was the first to make mile.
 The walkers take no risk in this match They know to a penny what they will get if they win. In other matches this was a matter of speculation, since they raced for the gate receipts principally. In this race they run for stipulated prizes, and the money has already been deposited. Ten thousand dollars are hung up in prizes and in this way: The $10,000 in prize money will be divided so that S5,OO0 will go to the winner of the match, $1,5O0 to the second man, $1 ,O00 to the third, $750 to the fourth, $500 to the fifth and $250 to the sixth.

President Harrison And The
 Difficulty at Hartford.
WILL HE CALL OUT THE MILITIA 2
The following explains itself

The following explains itself:
 Mir President:
 Your letter asking us to come to Wash ton to advise with you as to the best course to pursue in regard to the political situa- tion in Hartford is received.
 As we have business on hand of more remuuerative character we are forced to decline your kind invitation. We think however, that it is your plain duty to CALL Our TIE MILITIA and drive the rascals out. We have plenty of soldiers here who are spelling for fight and among them is Col John B. Doherty, who is only waiting for an opportunity to become Grant, a Sheridan or a Sherman. You seem to think that our national reputation as the "land of steady habits" is degenerating.
 We'll, We are glal to inform you that our legislators do not represent the intel ligence of our people.
 Neither did we go to the Middletown asylum to choose our candidates, altho' we confess you have some reasons to think 80. But, Mir President, it is from com mercial standpoint rather than political one that We wish to address you. The damage 1t is doing to trade is beyond com putatlun. Govs Hill and Bulkeley are having a hot time, but they can afford to as their salaries are going on and the peo- pie have the fun of footing the bills. In the name or the merchahts anu the pus ing public of the state we protest against it, It is going to interfere with our spring trade. We have just completed an ar rangemeut that will enable us to have n department for every article of household goods Our Baby Carriage department this ear will be the mothers delight.
