GOULD AT THE CAPITAL.
The Wall Street Wizard Calls on Few
Administration Officers.

WAsuIxGroN, April 4.-Mr. Jay Gould,
who. with his sons. is on trip west, called
on Postmaster General Wanamaker this
afternoon. Telegraph tolls was the prin-
cipal theme of the talk. Next June Will
he TWO Years siece Mr.. Wanamaker fXed
the schedule of rates which the govern
ment should pay the Western Union Tele-
graph Company for the telegraph service.
The Western Union refused to ac-
cent these rates, but continued
20 perform the service. The conse-
uuence IS that the Government has paid
nothing for its use of the telegraph since
that time and the amount now due the COM
pany has reached large proportions. Mr..
Gould talked the matter over with Mr..
Wanamaker but no definite conclusion was
reached.
MIR. Jaw Gould and his son subsequently
called on the President, Secretary Foster
and Secretary Tracy, aud spent short
time in the society Of each. 1t is learned
that these visits were merely social in
character. and had no political or financial
significance. As Mr.. Gould was leaving
the White House he said to reporter
"This Italian furry is not going to be Sc
rious. Our government has moved IN a
dipnified and eminently proper manner. l
do not see Just what Italy can do IN the
natter
"Wiu the international difference OF
opinion damage commercial relations"
"Hardly. You see how the market is
to-day; prices are up and firm Prospects
are favorable for satisfactory summer in
financial circles, and when that is so the
majority of the people are happy"

ST. Lours, Mo, April THE war that

days. The dealers have already received
private advices of the coming advance
which he asserts are positively reliable
Last year the prices of window and plate
glass reached the lowest mark in years
During the winter Just passed theprice has
continued downward, until such low tig-
ures have been reached that the dealers all
over the country have overstocked for no
other pdrpose than that they regarded glass
a fine investment They were losing money
steadily for quite a period. The manufac-
turers have evidently determined to com
bine and all the leading factories in the
United States viii raise their prices simul-

through. | don't know whether Sanford
was willing or not, but under the circum-
stances there was nothing he could do but
acquiesce. They all showed remarkable
skill in fixing up the wedding notice, for
Mrs. Jackson's friends in this city never
knew her maiden name or II they ever
heard it they had probably forgotten it.
There is another interesting feature in
connection with the wedding. According
to the divorce granted Mrs. Sanford, San
ford is not allowed to marry again. How
he got round this don't know, but ! pre-
sumo Lasscell Strengthened matters out
somehow"
The latest in the case, in addition to the
wedding, is concerted movement among
Jackson's friends to secure pardon for
him. They hope that this can be done be-
fore Gov. Hill goes out of office. A petit
tion will be circulated and great deal of
intetest is taken in the affair by the old
acquaintances of the embezzler. 1t is
thought that the circumstances of the
theft and flight will be somewhat miti-
gated by Jackson's domestic troubles. as
well as the fact that he confessed his guilt
and saved the Government the expense of
trial Mr. and Mrs. Sanford, nee jack
son, are off on brief honeymoon. Next
week they return TO Goshen and begin
their new life in the home where the pres
ent wife visited the former one only few
years ago.

OUR TRADE WITH ITALY.
She Would suffer M9st From an Embargo
by Nearly Eight Millions Annually.


WASHINGTON. AprA4. Italy will not put
an embargo upon herifrade with the United
States. If she shOuIb the rest OF the CIVIL
ized world would laue at her. CHIEF Sta
tistician Brock looked over the figures te-
day and discovered Some rather curious
facts about the trade relations of this coun-
try and Italy. D.,,.
''Sl2. .974. 029 worth of merchandise, and the
largest item is manufactured cotton,
which amounts TO s6,545,0l7; half OF the
whole trade.n II appears from this that
the city which would chiefly feel the effect
of Italv cutting off imports from America
would be New Orleans, where the trouble
began.
"The next largest item," continued
Major Brock. lis leaf tobacco, of which
we sell Italy 81, 534, l55. Then comes illu,
minating mineral oils, 81, ,642, $50. We sell
the Italians lumber and manufactures OF
wood to the value of S654, ,525; corn, S2O9
394: oats, Sl50,ll6; tsllow, Sl92, 742; lard,
sl65 256: iron and steel machinery-every-
thing under that head-Sl45,695. These
are the leading items.'
The United States buys of Italy SO, $50,
05l worth of that country's domestic mer-
chandise 1t is only necessary TO look at
the items to see that Italy would suffer a
great deal more than the United States
would if the embargo cut off her exports
To this country. The United States admits
slO.241, ,325 worth of this merchandise, hall
of it. free of duty. The largest of these
free items is unmanufactured silk, which
Italv sends TO the United States, this coun
try being a purchaser TO the amount OF 81,
396, ,947 year.
"The next largest item which we admit
from Italy free of duty said the Statisti'
clan, ''is chemicals and drugs, amounting
TO s., 955, 40 The chief of these chemical:
are crude tartar, crude sulphur and brlm
stone. We also give Italy free market
for 1886, ,553 of her farinaceous product. lr
dutiable articles Italy sends US S5,291 ,6Sl
worth of lemons and s., 297 ,0S9 worth OF
oranges. Other articles which we import
from Italy are: Preserved fruits
S29S, sol. almonds, S2l0,9ll; all other
nuts $34l ,437; hats, bonnets, &c,
s515, ,O69; iron ore, 500, ,O3O' gloves,
kid snd leather, $2s5,S10; marble
S5l2. $50: olive oil, S3s4,9l0; cheese, S2l4,
4O3; manufactures of silk, s246, 432; soaps,
Sl7l, sos; beans and peas, sll2,S2S; still
wines, Sl69,665
Southern California has been begging
for the privilege of furnishing this country
all of the oranges, lemans and nuts 1t can
consume. II seems like folly to take hun
dreds of thousands Of dollars worth of
iron ore. cheese, soap, beans and such pro-
ducts from this far-off country. AS for
olive oil it is an open secret that much OF
il is made of cotton seed oil sent from the
United States to Italy and then shipped
back in refined and counterfeit form. The
United States need have no lamentations
over any commercial embargo with italy

HANLEY MURDER TRIAL
At New Cumberland-H History of the Case.
The Attorneys Pleading.

Special Tsleoram TO the Sunday Re01ster.
New CUMBERLAND, April THE Han
ley murder trial has occupied the attention
of the Court since last Wednesday. The
circumstances of the case are about as fol
lows: On the evening of the 4th of July
last, about dusk, John Hanley and jacob
Gill were on the railroad track a short
distance above the upper ferry. Han
ley, who was intoxicated at the
time asked the Gill party for some
of their beer. On being told they had
none he began TO abuse some Of them.
Gill; who was sober and quiet man. told
Hanley that he was too small man for
him (Hanley) TO want to thrash. Hanley
then began on Gill and followed him of
the railroad track TO the sidewalk, and
Gill had either to fight or get away. Gill
said before he died that Hanley struck
him the first blow, being a downward
stroke with knife in his hand, making a
cut in his breast about 2I5 inches in length.
This cut was the one that proved fatal.
Gill then knocked Hanley down and got
on him and pummeled him pretty lively
about the face, Hanley at the same time
reaching over and stabbing Gill
in the back several times
Finally Gill said, "he is knitting
me.n They were then separated. Gill got
very sick and weak in short time, and
was carried into house near by. Hanley
went back to his boarding house, made
some arrangement with his boss about
some pay due him at the Etne yard, and
then crossed the river and made his way TO
Beaver Falls. where he was shortly after
arrested. Gill died on the Tuesday morn
ing following, and was taken down the
river TO Monroe county, O., for burial.
The entire day was devoted by the at
torneys in pleading before the jury.

That Sugar Deal

New YORK, April What is declared
20 be an authoritative statement was sent
out in Wall street yesterday confirming
reports from San Francisco that the sugar
deal had been made by Spreckels and the
Havemeyers who had gone into the West
ern Coast Sugar Refinery Company 10
regulate the production and maintain
prices. The statement SAYS This deal,
however. does not apply 20 the trade in the
East. Spreckels continues his opposition
here lust as before Outside of California
il is still "a struggle for the survival of the
fittest The deal has nothing TO do with
the American Sugar Refining Company.
This results from the fact that some time
ago the Havemeyers and Elder bought out
the right for cash the San Francisco re-
iinery which had previously gone into the
trust The trust was obliged 10 sell it be-
cause of legal complications The trust
conseq uently figured no longer u refining
operations there. Havemeyers and Elder
carried on the business for their private
account and have now made deal with
Spreckels on their own account" Mr.. II.
O. Havemeyer neither denied nor con-
firmed this statement.

dict of the Jury in the case of Drs. Black
burn and Grant and the cOlored man Mukes,
charged with hgrave-robbing, was acqulttal.
Al ten o'clock this morning, when Court
opened AZ Jacksonville, the room was
crowded with people eagerly interested in
the result. The jury az first stood seven
for acquittal and five for conviction, but
the majority at length brought over the in
dignant farmers who composed the minor
ity
There is no doubt that the doctors had a
very narrow escape. II the party Of watch
ers had waited until the grave was broken
the case would have been sure OF a convic-

and every accessory TO body -snatching and
had removed the flowers from the grave TO
