An Offset to Indemnity.

New YORK, April A Tribune special
from Harrisburg, Pa, says: In the unex-
pected turn that affairs have taken in the
Italian-American controversy, it may be
that two more of the Italian murderers of
Flanagan and Mcclure, the mine boss and
mine paymaster, who We're murdered and
robbed near Wilkes Barre two years ago,
may be brought to justice. 1t viii be re-
membered that RED Nose Nike and
another Italian suffered the death penalty
at Wilkes Barre for this murder, and that
the detectives located two more of the mur-
derers in Italy, where they had fed to enjoy
the money they had secured. Through
some hitch the Italian government has
never surrendered these murderers to the
United States authorities, although an OF
Ger, properly authorized, was sent over to
bring them here for trial. The statement is
made that these two Italians are neither in
Jail or under surveillance. This is known
to Secretary Blaine and it is said that he is
preparing a paper in the matter to be used
in connection with the United States gov
ernment's report to Italy on the New Or
leans affair, and in answer to the demand
for indemnity he will demand money stolen
from Flanagan and Mcclure, which
amounts to SO, 900. Secretary Blaine has
been securing the particulars of the muir
der and the amount stolen, and within ten
hours has asked for certain information
from ths people Of Harrisburg.

The bodies will be taken of the train Al

The funeral cortege did not move until the
regular train arrived at 49,. The
large public square was not spacious
enough 10 hold the great crowds OF
people and the delegations that arrived on
the regular train had to form on PitrSburG

ment did not take kindly to the road

fully to their homes. to commit
no breach of the law and to abstain from
intoxicantS and shun the saloons. Rev.

WARlIkE.
Canadas New Commander-in-Chief Making
an Unusal Drill--LGrge Guns Being
Sent to Halifax.

OTTAWA, ONT. April 1.-Two important
announcements confirm as true the rumor
that General Herbert, the new commander
in-chief of the Canada militia, brought in
structions from the English war office 10
speedily strengthen the defenses of Canada
and prepare for the necessity of putting q
large force in the field.
First, is his request to the government to
double the usual average this year for drill
so that the entire force Of Is, 900 men can be
thoroughly drilled in June. Never before
has the number Of men drilled exceeded
10000 men.
Second-Gen. Herbert left to-day for
Halifax TO confer with Gen. Sir John
Ross, commander of the imperial troops
in Canada, respect to the de-
lenses of the Atlantic coast, and particu-
larry at Halifax, where the new fort has
been constructed. One thirty-two ton gun
has recently arrived at Halifax from
England and others are almost ready to be
shipped. These are the largest guns on
this side of the Atlantic.

bore foreign names, and it is a fact that not
one Of them was q naturalized citizen Of
this country. II is also supposed that many
wounded were also foreigners, and
this explains the deep resentment
expressed in every. foreign face
strikers and their friends poured into this
place from all over the region to view the
dead and perhaps hear what the living have
10 say. As darkness fell tonight around the
miserable scene the foreigners began 10 draw
away in knots, and night, after the riot,
lowered amidst great fer of what might
happen before another dawn.
Late tonight word was received here that
two more men concerned in the riot had
died III the strikers houses near the More
wood works where they had been dragged
by their fellow rioters. Their names
could not be learned. but it is
known that one was an E,nglish-speaking
foreigner and probably the only one injured
who was citizen. These two deaths make
nine il all that are known rs a result OF the
firing of the guards, but there is no
doubt others are either dead or in
critical condition, as the guards had orders
to fire to kill and evidently did so. Reports
late tonight from all over the region iudi
cate fearfully dangerous and excited coz
dition of affairs, and word that the military
will soon join the guards was received by
operators alike with the iveliest evidence
of satisfaction.
ANOTHER FIGHT IMMINENT.
At Leisenring Constable Campbell at
tempted to arrest John Lushka. Russian,
for completely in the bomb throwing
that occurred there Monday. Lushka
fiercely resisted, and called out in his native
language for aid y fellow-countryman
who was on the outside Of the Office
where Lushka had been trapped gave
the alarm and, in a few moments there was
bowling mob of foreigners surrounding
the place. Lushka leaped through the
Office window, carrying with him q pair Of
handouts Several shots were fired after him
but he escaped. Tonight Il warrant was
placed in the hands of Sheriff Mccormack,
and with large posse of men he has
started for Leisenring to make the arrest
Lushka and his companions are armed and
a fight will certainly follow unless the men
are surprised.

Harrison Is Jealous.
Special to the Gazette.


WAsHISGToS, April 4.-The excitement
over the recall of Baron Fava and the sud
den public realization OF the fact
that the United States is not on
very firm war basis as re-
CARDS guns, ships and Notifications, gives
rise to the hope that congress will appro-
pirate money to place the United States in
a position to defend ourselves against for
eign invasion It may be that this incident
will change the sentiment of the next house
on the subject OF expenditure for defence,
but up to this time the sentiment among
the new element which will have
VOICE IN THE HOUSE
after the first Monday in December, has
been against expenditures for this purpose,
and the general disposition among Demo-
cratic leaders is in favor of cutting down
appropriations for whatever purpose to the
lowest possible point. Patriotism may get
the better of this if the sensation of tho
shadow Of the Malta still hangs over the
United States when congress meets; but
there will be an element in the house OPP
posed to every penny proposed for the navy.
The Farmers Alliance and George men and
all Changers, ever since the election last
November, have been talking about the
time when custom houses and the navy
should be abolished. They say
THAT THEY WILL FIGHT
every appropriation for naval establish
ment. These men will not possess a con-
trolling influence: but it is claimed by those
who do the talking for them that there will
be at least fifty new members of this frame
of mind. There can be very little doubt
that restrictions will be placed on foreign
immigration. The house will be much
more ready to deal with that branch of the
question than it Will be to consider the
question of defense.
Is has become evident that Harrison is
somewhat jealous of the praise that is be-
slowed upon Blaine on account of his man
ner Of dealing with the Italian matter since
he has had time to repent of
HIS INPULSIvE LETTER
to the governor of Louisiana. The friends
of President Harrison are now engaged in
trying to start the impression that ever
since that first letter was written, Harrison
himself has supervised the matter, and that
the letter in reply to the recall of Baron
Fava was revised and made perfect by the
hands of the president. Between reciproc-
ity and international complications, Blaine
holds the attention of the public quite to
the exclusion of the rest of the executive
family. Even Baby Mckee has dropped
out of sight and
WEBS ARE ACROSS
the crown Of ''grand-fatehr's hat
One thing in this matter which gives
Blaine considerable satisfaction is that by
the dacifc manner in which he has treated
with the irritable italian premier, he has
had ah opportunity to repudiate the title of
"Jingo.n His friends say that whatever
criticism may be passed upon his manage
ment of this affair, it cannot be called SEN
sational or tinted with jingoism.

Possibility of International Complications.

PITTsBURG, PA, April 2.-The news of
the riot at Morewood and the subsequent
order from the governor calling out the
Tenth and Eighteenth regiments created
intense excitement in this city. The order
from Governor Pattison was received 1T

ment was prepared for marching orders.
The latter We're received about . o'clock
this evening and an hour later the full
regiment under command Of Col. Norman
Smith started for the scene of to-day's riot.
Two cempaaies OF the Tenth regiment also
accompanied Col Smith.
AS the men killed are unnatural
lied foreigners the possibilities of in
ternational complications arising are freely
discussed. The Austrian consul, Max
Shamberg of this city, received a telegram
this afternoon informing him that several
of the miners killed We're subjects of the
Austrian government, He replied that he
would investigate the matter, but refused
to say anything further.
