company said: "a friend of mine had q
queer experience which l think is rather

college, and mado a vivid impression on
him. He had been engaged on a particu-

LINGO BITES HIS COUNSEL.
Remarkable Features of the Miller
Murder Trial.

CAMDEN, N. j., March 18.-Frank
Lingo continued his testimony in his
own defense and underwent rigid
cross examination. The prisoner was
cool and calm and no damaging admis-
sions were elected. He said he was not
in the bush lot on the day of the muir
der. He did not meet the Du Hadways
there, nor the insurance agent, Wilder.
He did not limp, and gave the jury
sample of his walk.
To give conclusive illustration OF
his claim that Lingo's teeth could not
have inflicted the lacsrated wounds on
Mrs. Miller's hand, Judge Wescott told
the prisoner to bite his hand. locating
to him the spot where Mrs. Miller's
hand WAS wounded. Lingo caught the
hand Of his counsel between the teeth
and bit on the flesh rather gingerly.
"Bite harder" cried the ex-judge;
"harder, harder yet" Then, with q
sudden vince of pain, he exclaimed,
That's enough" Judge Wescott's
hand was deeply marked by the nogro's
teeth as he showed it to the jury. Lingo
also bit into cake Of soap, which was
given to the jury as u part of the evil

NAL Protest To the President.
WASHINGTON, March 10.-Baron Faya,
the Italian minister, yesterday formally
brought to the attention of the president
the slaughter of the Sicilian prisoners
in the parish Jail at New Orleans Satur-
day. As result. Secretary Blaine sent
the following dispatch to Governor
Nichols last evening:
1t has been represented to the president by
the minister of Italy accredited to this gov
ernment, that among the victims of the de-
plorable massacre which took place In the
city of New Orleans yesterday were three or
more suhjecta of the king of Italy. Our treaty
with that friendly government (Which under
the constitution Is the supreme law Of tho
land) guarantees to the Italian subjects doml-
ciled In tho United States tho most constant
protection and security for their person ani
property-making them amsnable on the
same basis as our own citizens to the laws of
the United States and several states in their
due and orderly admins istration.
The president deeply regrets that tho citi-
zens of New Orleans should have so dis
paraged the purity and ths equity OF their
own judicial tribunals as to transfer TO thu
passionate judgment of a mob, a question
that should have been adjulgsd ditpaSSlon-
ately aud by settlcl rules OF law Ths gov
ernment of the Uaited States must give to
the subjects of friendly powers that security
which 1t demands for our own eitizsns when

II is The hope Of the president that you will
cooperate with him In maintnning the obli-
cations Of the Unitei Stat,s toward, tho
Italian subjects who may b. within this parils
of the present excitement that further blood
shed and violence may be prevented and that
all offenders against the law may be promptly
brought TO justice.

BERLIN, March 16.-The prospect of
any full and complete reconciliation be-
tween the emperor and Bismarck is
considered far distant, although a
modus vivendi may be established.
Miguel is the kaiser's man to succeed
Caprlvi, and neither Miguel nor the
new minister of public instruction,
Count Sedlitz Trutzchler could do any
thing with Bismarck The possibility
that Bismarck may enter the reichstag,
it Ia said, makes the kaiser anxious to
prevent him bring an active leader OF
an opposition. The kaiser's mind seems
bent upon warlike preparations, and it
is believed that his chief motive in con-
ciliating Bismarck and Waldersee Is to
have tbs empire in harmony for the
struggle that he expects must come
about. His reply to the delegates from
the parliament of Alsace- Lorraine Sat
urday is considered as pointing to pre-
paration for hostilities.
