The Italian Consul at Paris Takes no

PARIS, March 2S.-Apropos Of the recent
lynching Of Italians at New Orleans. the
Italian consul In this city, Signor C. Ress-
man, in an interview with the Associated
Press correspondent, said the members Of
the Italian colony here did not believe
the Malta had anything TO do with the
affair. The consul said: "When | repre-
sented Italy at Constentinople the secret
society known as the Malta was very strong
there Its agents committed two murders,
both of the victims being killed because
they were suspected OF having an intention
OF betraying the Mafia's secrets"
Sgnor Capelli, editor Of the French
Italian publication entitled La Production,
said, in discussing the lynching: at is
doubtful if the New Orleans murder was
the work Of the Malta in view OF the fact
that this society has quite disappeared from
Italy, and that us fact, 1t only flourshed
in Sicily, and In lesser degree In Naples
and its neighborhood or course, it is
barely possible that a remnant of tho Malta
survives aud that 1t is active in New

pected to strike.
WASHINGTON, March 28.-The proprie-
tors of the job printing offices in this city
have been notified by the officers of the
Columbia Typographical Union No. that
higher rate Of wages must be paid their
employees for a less number of hours
Of work. 1t has been re-
solved by all the more prominent
employers to refuse the requests made, and
TO resist any and every effort the union may
put forth to enforce its demands. That
means strike, and the bosses say that the
strike will result In the importation of all
the non-union printing talent necessary to
fill orders.
WHAT THE UNION DEMANDS.
The union asks, in brief, that the price of
composition be increased from 40 cents per
LOCO to 4213 cents, and that the hours of
labor be nine instead of ten. After o'clock
IN the afternoon the price is to move up to
% cents, and after midnight to 55 cents.
Several employing printors say that if the
union compels them to organize q non-union
force their offices will always be non-union
SO long as the government printing em-
ployes run the machine.
SAID TO BE A SCHEME.
1t is intimated by some of the "bosses'
that the attempt at an Increase is part Of a
plan formulated by tie government print

IL possible, change in the

last night in tho hold of the Inman line
steamship City Of New York, which arrived
in the Mersey on Thursday from New York.

was unloading in Alfred dock and Birken-
head, and seem to have originated among a
number of bales OF cottoh. It is believed
that the fire had been smoldering un-
noticed in the hold for some days before it
broke out into flames. As soon as tue fire
was discovered small army
of men was employed In the
effort made to put ont the flames. which
were soon deluged With water and speedily
extinguished. After the fire had been
drowned out an examination was made Of
the ships mold and it was found that the
steamship herself had suffered but little
injury. Her cargo, however, was found to
be greatly damaged by the water which
had been poured upon it. The vessel suf-
fered no damage and will sail on her regu-
lar day, Wednesday next, for New York.
