MASSIGLIA TALKS
About the Killing of the Italian
in the Coke Riot,

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 13.-Chev-
alier A. Rebandi Massiglia, Italian
consul at Philadelphia, in reply to a re-
porter's query, explained at length why
he had sent letter to Coroner Wake
field, OF West Moreland county, asking
him to send him the fullest particulars
of the death of the Italian who was
killed at Mount Pleasant when the
deputy sheriffs fired on the coke rioters
with such fatal results on April 2. In
some quarters an effort has been
made to give this action the ap-
pearance of international impor-
tance. and attention has been
attracted to it in view of the strained
diplomatic relations with Italy. ''It is
unjust to put such construction on this
letter." said Chevalier Massiglia. every
thing in which one of my countrymen
figures is seized upon, and, if possible.

cans. Pray put this in its proper light.n
The chevalier went on to explain why he
had written the letter. "My duties are

workers in cities west Of the Mississippi

those IN the East. AT many points the
demand of workers for the eight
hour day has been conceded, or
has been adjusted by conference.
In Chicago and Columbus carpen-
ters have arranged their differences
amicably. AS for the miners, their
strike is now foregone conclusion. 1t
will be strike which will astonish the
operators. The miners asked very lit
tie Of the operatorS-no advance in pay
at all-and it seems strange that the lat
ter should adopt such arbitrary and un-
busineSs-lilIe tactics. They talk of money
necessary to carry on such contrO-
versy;. we've got it and will get
more, and all is necessary" Mr.. Conn
ers will hold several important confer
ences while here. Upon one Of these
depends considerably the future atti-
tude Of the leading strikers in the coke
regions. PittSburg is the stronghold of
organized labor in this country. Natur-

SPOKANE FALLS. Wash, April 13.-
The postoffice at Deep Creek, small
village seven miles from this city, was
entered by two masked burglars at an
early hour this morning. They blew
open the safe and ransacked its con
tents. securing money and stamps to
the amount of about 5000. The eXplo-
sion of the blast awakened the pOstmis-
tress, Mrs. Addie Young, who, upon
going out into the office to investigate,
was met by the robbers. They
choked her into insensibllity and
then fred the building. Forum
ately the fire was discovered just
in time to save Mrs. Young from being
cremated. The flames spread from the
postoffice to Perkins Bros general
store and the residence of John Haynes,
all of which were destroyed with their
contents. The fire burned itself out at
this point. Sheriff Pugh left for the
scene with two deputies this morning,
but up to the present writing has been
unable to capture the perpetrators OF
the dastardly outrage. Mrs. Young is
in critical condition, caused by fright
and the injuries received at the hands
of the assailants. The losses by fire are
as follows: Mr.. Young, $4,000, insurance

WASHINGTON, April 13.-Since the
return of Secretary Proctor yesterday
morning there has been great desire
to obtain some authoritative statement
from him concerning the rumor that
he was about to resign for business
reasons, and also whether or no he
would consent to be candidate for the
United States senate to succeed Senator
Edmunds. This evening in response to
repeated inquiries he finally made the
following statement to the rep
Press: II have been absent

resigning are without foundation.
As to my business interests,

attention or to which should give any
considerable attention if were out of
office. | suppose that it is unnecessary
for me to say that my relations with the
president and my associates are, as they
always have been, of the most agreeable
and harmonious character. With respect
to the senatorship, find on my return
by the receipt of letters and the press
comments from Vermont, that good
many Of my friends are anxious that |
should succeed Senator Edmunds. The
position of senator from my state has
for good many years been somewhat

been, within my memory, considered

scarcely feel at liberty to de-

the senator's resignation does not take

DULUTH, Minn., April 13.-Sarah b.
White VS.. Michael Pastoret is the title
of sensational suit now being tried in
the district court of this county. 1t is
an action to recover $1,000 damages for
alleged injury to character. The story,
in substance, is as follows: One night
last December about II O'Clock defend
ant, who owns half of the Pas
toret-Stenson block, on Superior
street, suspected that one William
Allan, a st. Paul travelling
man, was taking a woman to the upper
story of the Stenson block (plaintitf's

fendant followed Allan up stairs with a
couple of policemen and broke open the
door of his room. There they found him
lying quietly in bed and alone. The
noise made by Pastoret and the officers
aroused the whole household; hence the
suit by Mrs. White. Defendant denies
that plaintiffs reputation or that of her
house has suffered, alleging that she had
none to lose. Plaintiffs theory of the
case is that Pastoret has adopted a sys-
tenn of persecution in order to get rid of

A Lecturer Protests Against the
Persecution of Lutherans in
Russia.
WASHINGTON, April 13. = Rev. l..
Mueller, native of st. Petersburg, de-
livered lecture tonight on the perse-
cution of Lutherans in Russia. The
speaker gave historical review of Lu-
theranism in Russia, beginning with the
absorption of the Baltic provinces by
Peter the Great in 1721. MIR. Mueller
claimed that no Lutheran. had been ex-
lied to Siberia for being con cerned IN
political plots or conspiracies, and IN
the great Lutheran university at Dor
pot, where there are 400 students, there
has never been any revolt or uprising.
The Greek church has been forcing
Lutheranism to the wall by royal enact
ments, and the religious freedom guar
anteed the Baltic provinces, Finland and
Poland are totally .disregarded. Mr..
Mueller suggests as a remedy for this
state of affairs the creation of an inter-
national sentiment and the inSistence
of European governments: in their treat
les with Russia upon the incorporation
into such treaties of provisions secur-
ing immunity from laws regulating re-
ligiouS profession, association and OBJ
servance. This would result in the iso-
lation of Russia, and would compel her
to yield from motives of policy, if for
no higher reason.

CROPS IN THE DAKOTAS.
Farmers About Two Weeks Late
in Getting Them In.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
HURON, S. D., April 13.-Sergeant
Glenn's weather crop bulletin for North
and South Dakota for the week ending
April 10, was issued to-day and con-
tainS the following crop summary: The
temperature during the wenk has been
below the seasonal average. while
the moisture from ram or snow has
been above the average over South Da-
kota, and average too above over North
Dakota so far as heard from. Seeding
was general over South Dakota until IN
terrupted by the rain and snow of
Wednesday and Thursday, and is now
well advanced in most localities. In
North Dakota it was fairly under way.
A few localities in South Dakota report
the ground too wet, but the general re-
port is that it is in excellent condition,
aud much better than for year past.
Seeding is generally resumed to-day,
and with fair, warmer weather now
very probable, the coming week will see
this work very near completion. A few
localities report rye sprouted. The
favorable condition of the ground has
induced larger acreage to small grain
than was expected. A general average
of reports indicate that the season is
about seventeen days late.
