One of the Journals Only Roasts
the Grand jury.


New YORK, May 6.-Of the New Or
leans grand jury report. the Post says:
This is not legal document. 1t is the
apology of a political committee for an
act of revolutionary violence committed
~ the entire population of large city
and expressed in the inflated rhetoric in
which such manifestoeS are usually
couched. 1t is confession by a compe-
tent authority that the machinery of
criminal justice has completely broken
down in the state of Louisiana, and that
crimes of any magnitude have to be
punished by revolutionary tri-
bunaI. 1t holds out no promise of
better or more regular admin
istration of local justice, but it throws
some light on the working of the jury
system in New Orleans which the peo-
pie of other cities, and particularly
those of New York, will do we'll to read,
mark, learn, and inwardly digest, for.
aswe remarked when the news of this
tragedy first Came, we are travelling fast
along the shameful path which has
ended in New Orleans in the erection of
mob government as desperate neces-
sity.
The Mail and Express says: '1f the
history of New Orleans since the war
and up to the 18th of last March had
been entirely unfamiliar to the people
OF this country, the voluminous and
rhetorical presentment by the grand
jury OF that city, justifying the enforce
ment of lynch law on that memorable
occasion, might be regarded with more
favor than can be accorded by the loyal
and law-abiding citizens of this country.
Moreover, it has been due TO the lack of
Municipal Patriotism,
and to the neglect or unwillingness of
New Orleans officials to enforce the laws
for the protection of lives and preserva-
tion of the peace, that such formidable
gang OF assassins as the Malta should
have been permitted to grow in power,
to take etfectual part in local politics,
and to become terror to thousands of
people. The Sicilian Mafians found in
New Orleans cOngenial and home-like
field for their operations. In a city
where white men of any position have
been allowed to commit murder with
impunlty, whenever the killing occurred
in duel or off-hand fight, the criminal
immigrants from Sicily felt encouraged
to resume the homicidal careers for
which they had to leave their native
land"
The Herald says: "That is the YER
diet of the grand jury, which speaks for
the people of New Orleans. 1t will be
the verdict OF the American people and
of the civilized world, wherever the
facts are known. 1t is no time to SER
moniZe about mob violence. An upris-
ing of the people Is not an outbreak of
mob. 1t is Idle to moralizeiabout law
/ and justice taking their usual course.
Safety of the community is the highest
law. and when statutes and courts fail
that higher law reigns. Tile Malta, in
stead of the community, is now terror
lied. The lives of law-abiding citizens
are safer there. Justice has been vim
dicated by the people. The disease
the means.''

Comment on the Matter
From Leading American
Newspapers.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-The report O
the New Orleans grand jury upon the
work of the mob at the prison there last
March led to considerable discussion
here to-day. Attorney General Miller
declined absolutely to express any
opinion about it. or to discuss it in any
of its features. The findings of the
grand jury excite no surprise, for some
such conclusion was expected. At the
state department the attempt on the
part of the jury to excuse the infrac-
tion of the law by offsetting with the
alleged attempts at jury fixing is dep
recated, but there is well de-
fined opinion that on the whole
the outcome of the case was beneficial
in its effects upon the turbulent foreign
elements in the United States, inasmuch
as it will make clear to them the fact
that they cannot rely upon treaties to
escape responsibility to the great pub
lie for their unlawful acts. The report,
it is believed. differs in the matter of the
nationality of the victims from the re-
port of. District Attorney Grant. now in
the hands of the attorney general. The
grand jury found that eight were nat
uralized citizens and that one had de-
clared his intention to become natural
lied. while the district attorney, it is
believed, found that one of the victims
was an Italian, but an escaped convict,
and that another's nationality was so
doubtful as to make it unsafe to hazard
an opinion. So, at its worst, the Italian

spiracy to Procure.
LONDON, May 6.-The sensation OF
the day is the sentence of Capt. Edmund
Verney, of the royal navy, and member
of parliament for North Bucks, to one
years imprisonment for conspiracy to
abduct Miss Beckett. An account of
the crime and its detection was given
In last nights dispatches. 1t is the
greatest disgrace that English aris-
t0cracy has ever encountered; for the
Verneys, although ennObled within the
century, are of ancient descent among
tne landed gentry, are distantly con-
nected with the CalvertS of Maryland,
and Verney upon his mothers side is
the grandson of Lord Kinneard. The
family IS one of the most distinguished
In the Midland counties, and one of its
members was standardbearer to King
Charles |. Verney himself, on the death
Oh his venerable father. Sir Harry Yer
ney, now in his ninetieth year, will sue
ceed to the title. Apart from the series
OF crimes that have brought him to grief
his record has been honorable service
IN war and peace. He served
when little more than a mere boy
In the Crimea war and in India during
the mutiny, and he has been an enthu-
SidSt LOT education and temperance, and,
singularly also, for aiding discharged
prisoners. His wife is the daughter of
Sir John Williams, of Wales, a lady
distinguished by her efforts to improve
the higher education of girls. They
have four charming children, and
beautiful home in North Wales. The
London police have been charged with
too much caution in Verney's case, but
they resolved not to touch him until
they had him where escape was impos-
slble. The case has been one of the most
thoroughly prepared ever presented
to the London courts, and upon hearing
the evidence Verney's friends at once
collapsed as to any refutation, although
they did not desert him, as the mild
penalty shows. The facts have been
kept from the aged father. He is in
precarious health, so that it is more than
probable that Verney will become
baronet while in jail. The Conserva-
tives and Liberals have agreed that Yer
ney, who is Liberal. and Decobain, Of
Belfast, Conservative, and now a
fugitive accused of an unnatural crime,
shall both be expelled from parliament,
Verney's conviction not having ipso
facto unScated him.

ing for 1t.
A good exhibition of ball playing was
the MinneaDolis-Omah game yester-
day. Monday night Manager Harring-
ton took his employees out behind the
woodshed and gave them talking to.
When they pranced out on the diamond
at 3:45 there was a dangerous CLEAN
in their eyes. They wanted that game.
They got it, but they mad to play for it.
Neither of the pitchers was hit yerv
hard. The ball was found repeatedly.
but not hit safely. Minnehan, bv
home run. Dugdale, by landing a two
Dagger at the right time, Shugart, by
generally brilliant play, and Murphy,
by three-ring-c with -Roman-hip-
podrome and menagerie attachment
one-handed catch, won the honors.
Omaha went to bat first. Pitcher Kill
len made his bow and promptly struck
out Halligan. He followed it up by Civ
ing Sutcliffe base on balls. Twitcnell
was thrown out at first by Kilen and
Sutcllffe moved up one. Sutcliffe
stole third and scored on a short hit by
Griffin along the left foul line. Shan
non went out at first. For Minneapolis.
Murphy got base on balls and was ad-
YarHed to second by ShugaFt's sacrifice.
Daniel Minnehan calmly pushed home
run over the center field fence, and two
runs were scored. Ryn went to first on
balls. Hengle hit to Shannon and went
to first on fielder's choice, Ryn going
out at second. Hengle tried to steal
to second, and was thrown out by Sut-
cliffe.
In the second inning Walsh went out
from Shugart to Ryn. McCauley hit
two-bagger to center. Eiteljorg struck
out. Baker sent McCauley home on
two-baser. HallIgan struck out. Then
"Old Pat Dugdale's son" distinguished
himself. Earl flew out to Twitchell.
McQuaid made single. Baker pitched
wild, and he went to second. Killen
was presented with base. A passed
ball sent both on step. DugdaIe
smiled as he swung his bat for two
bases, sending McQuaid and Killen
home. Twas such surprise that the
bleachers forgot to yell. Murphy's
sacrifice and ShugarU's hit sent DugdaIe
home. Minnehan went out at first.
The score then stood 5 to 9 in favor of
the local team. 1t never changed. In
the third inning Twitchell hit a long fly
to the left OF center. Murphy made a
hard run, took long leap into the air,
caught it with one hand, and the crowd
yelled itself hoarse. Sharp work by the
infeld on both sides prevailed after
that. Following is the score:

cause committed by 1000 people instead
of one person? Was the slaying of
Hennessey by dozen assassins any

Columbus.
COLUMBUS. o., May 6.-The Ohio
State Journal says: "The report of the
New Orleans grand jury OH the recent
massacre of Italian prisoners sets forth
that the population of the city was in
the mob, and the grand jury was there
fore unable to give the names of the
rioters. but it indicts six of the jury fix
ers and states that the whole trouble
was due to the fact that the jury that
tried the murderers of Hennessy was
bribed. No man who has shirked jury
duty should even open his mouth about
the miscarriage of justice. After the
corruption of jurles at Cincinnati re-
suited in riot, there was less
trouble in getting well-diSposed citizens
to serve on such juries; but why should
the large cities suffer such calamities
as have been visited upon Cincinnati
and New Orleans from corrupt juries?
The same warning that now comes from
New Orleans came from Cincinnati sew
eral years ago. 1t seems like expe-
rience is the only way of making the
people realize the dangers that con-
front them, but they will profit by the
lessons of the cities just named. There

bribed verdicts.
Cleveland.
CLEVELAND, o., May 6.-Referring to
the New Orleans grand jury report the
Cleveland Leader will say: IF the New
Orleans grand jury which made its
formal report on Tuesday had briefly
disposed of the case of the rioters who
killed eleven actual or supposed mur-
dererS on the 14th of March by the as
sertion that community cannot be ex-
pected to charge itself with murder. the
world would at least have given that
body credit for manhood and common
sense. AS it is, we think that nobody
can be satisfied with the five columns
of verbiage and labOred discussion
OF other matters through which the
grand jury wanderS before it con-
cludes with brief statement that
it has been unable to find indictments
against any of the members of the mob
which avenged Chief Hennessy's death.
The report is very weak and rambling"
The Plaindealer will say: "Instead of
taking steps to bring TO punishment
those concerned in the killing of the
Italians it is evident that the members
of the grand jury were in sympathy
with them, and justified the act as in
the interest of public safety, which it
unquestiOnably was in intention. So
far as the people of Louisiana are con-
cerned that ends the matter. The peo-
pie have spoken through their repre-
sentatives on the grand jury, and their
decision is final. Under the circum-
stances Premier RudinI may as well
dismiss the whole subject as a 'bootless
cOntrOYerSY.'

NEW ORLEANS OPINION.
The People Did 1t and the People
Can't BE Indicted

NEW ORLEANS, May 6.-The States
says: The report of the grand jury
brings to light number of startling
facts, all more or less, directly concern
ing the assassination of the late super
intendent of police of this city, the mis-
carriage of justice in the prosecution of
the murderers ard the subsequent
lynching of the latter in the parish
prison. Naturally, the grand jury
could indict no one or NO number OF
persons concerned in this. The 'peo-
ple' did it; and no grand jury could
devise way to indict the ''people."
The Times says: The grand jury has
made the proper return in the parish
prison lynching-a return that will meet
with the approval of the entire people,
not of New Orleans alone, but of the
country. The case had, indeed. been
tried by the press before the bar of pub
lie opinion, and verdict of not guilty
a finding of ''well done"-had long since
been returned as to the men whose act
suppressed the Malta. and gave waIn-
ing to the criminals Of Europe that they
would find no home i'll this country.
The Picaynne says: We accept the
declaration of the inability of the grand
jury to get information as to the partici-
pants in the storming of the parish
priron. Doubtless there was large
sympathy in the community with the
perpetrators of the acts after they were
committed, but sympathy after the fact
is not guilt and not participation. The
grand jury could not find the guilty
parties. That is plain enough.

THE CHICAGO PRESS
Suggests Several Ways of Prevent
ing Future Affairs of the Kind.

CHICAGO, May 6.-The Daily News
says: ut is a rather singular coinci-
dence that the New Orleans grand jury
report became public property on the
same day on which it became known
that Sgr. Rudini, Italy's prime minis
ter, had joined the parliamentary as
sociation for the promotion of inter-
national arbitration and peace. Arbi-
tration will afford an opportunity to
the United States to prove to
the European governments that the
responsibility for the New Orleans trag-
edy, and for many other bloody con-
fiicts between outraged American citI-
Zens and alien forces transferred to
American soil, rests primarily with the
European governments.
The Inter Ocean says: "Clearly these
men were not living in the peace of
the United states as the legal phrase
goes, and therefore their murder is not
subject for complaint by any foreign
power But why did not the jury call
upon Mr.. Parkerson. who claimed that
the meeting was called by himself and
q committee of 100 for the special pur-
pose of taking the law into their own
hands? In the state of Illinois Mr..
Parkerson would he held responsible
for the work of the mob. because he in
cited it to the violent lawlesSness which
followed.
The Times says: 1t avails nothing
to decry the conclusions reached by the
New Orleans grand jury in the cases of
murderers who killed assassIns. The
members of the jury seem to have given
too broad a meaning to the statement of
Burke, that ''you cannot indlct whole
people," But there remains the fact
that the conclusion they arrived at,
while the logical result of the condi-
tions existing in their city, is disgrace
to the state and the nation.
The Staats Zeltuug says: 1t is bv no
means to the glory of the. United States
government that it has no legal way to
punish crimes of this character com
mitted on foreign subjects in this coun-
try in contravention of the treaties
made with other nations. Congress
ought to use its rerrogatives and;enact
statute allowing the federal authorities
in future to take measures to prevent
mob violence, by which our relations
with foreign powers are altered and the
treaties made with them annulled.

TREATED AS SLAVES.
Subjects of Austria-Hungary in
Virginia Complain of Harsh
Treatment


Treatment.
VIENNA, May Elm the reichsrath
to-day Herr Masaryk gave notice that
he would interpellate the government
as to whether it was aware that subjects
of Austria-Hungary in the state of Vir-
ginia, United States of America, were
treated as slaves, and, if so. what meas
ures would the government take to OBJ
tain redress for such treatment of Aus
tro-Hungarian subjects. The inter
pellation of Herr Masaryk propably re-
fers to the report that seventy-five Bo-
hemianS left New York in December
last with mau who had contracted to
complete the extension of the Nor
folk & Western railroad into Ohio.
The Bohemians had been induced to
sign caSt-iTOn contract, concerning
the provisions of which they were en-
tlrely ignorant. One of the party wrote
letter to Bohemian newspaper of
New York calling attention to the in
human manner in which the Bohemians
were treated, with the result that cor
respondent of that paper was sent to
PocahontaS, Va, and the treatment of
the contractors employees was fully eX-
posed, and some of them were brought

WINoNA, Mimi, May 6.-At II o'clock
tonight fire broke out in the planning
mill of Schroth & Ahrens, in the west
part of the city, and at a. m. the entire
plant of the company, consisting of
planning mill, sash, door and blind
factory, a large stOrehouse and
about two million feet of lumber,
was heap of ashes. The firemen were
handicapped by a shortage of water and
several hundred feet of hose were
burned. Four dwelling houses in the
immediate vicinity'of the lumber yards,
occupied by Polish families, are de-
stroyed, and the fire is still
burning at 1:30 a. m. with pros
poets of its making little more headway.
The loss on mills and lumber is esti-
mated at 100000, and the insurance is
in the neighborhood of 100000. 1t is
principally in stock companies. The
fire started in pile of kindling outside
the mill. Between 200 and 300 men are
employed by the firm. 1t is doubtful as
to whether they will rebuild.

RECIPROCITY.
DRAFT of the Treaty With Spain
Sent to Washington.

MADRID, May 6.-The draft of the
treaty of commerce between Spain and
the United States was sent to the Span
ish minister at Washington last week
with instructions to sign it Immediately.
1t is expected the necessary signatures
will be appended by the end of this
week. Although the Spanish govern
ment maintains the utmost reserve in
regard to the treaty, even refusing to
communicate it to the Cuban deputies,
information from reliable source con-
firms the report that coal, petroleum,
machinery and fats will be admitted
free into Cuba and Porto Rico and the
present duty on -four will be reduced
one-half, in exchange for the free adj
mission into the United States of sugar,
coffee and cocoa. The deputies from
CASTLE continue to OPT ose the treaty on
the ground that it will render it impos-
sible for Spanish flour to compete with
American flour in the Spanish Antilles;
but they cannot demand vote upon
the treaty, as the government has
power to sign it without obtaining spec
ial authority from the chambers.
