EXCITEMENT PETERS OUT.
Washington No Longer Scared
Over the Outlook.

w WaShIngtOn No Longer Scared
Over the Outlook.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-The excite
ment over the Italian affair has almost
completely subsidized, and it was not
topic Of sufficient live interest to engage
attention in fashionable drawing rooms
to-day. Secretary Blaine is not yet
prepared to make public anything
throwing additional light on the situa-
ton, and unless there should be, con-
trary to all expectations. another
bOmbshell as sudden and startling as
the recall of Baron Fava, it is
probable that the Italian entangle-
ment vii not again be a subject
of all-engrossing public interest
and that it will take the usual tedious
course of diplomacy. There is some de-
sire manifested to know the nature of
the reply Secretary Blaine will make to
the message of the Marquis di Rudini,
but the secretary evidently prefers that
there shall be less haste in conducting
this diplomatic affair, for he sent word
down tonight there there was nothing
new in the situation. and that his reply
to Marquis oi Rudini was not ready for
publication.
The speed with which the interna-
tional correspondence arising out of the
lynching Of the Italians has thus faf
been conducted is said by diplomatists
to be extraordinarily rapid. and they
are not disposed to commend this
new method of conducting the re-
lations between nations by means
of the telegraph and cables. While
willing to utilize these modern methods
50 far as to keep their respective minis
terS acquainted with matters of especial
fhnU al
aYerse to pursuing this course where
declarations of national policy must be
outlined. Now that Secretary Blaine
has succeeded in his efforts to calm the
agitation Of the Italian government.
they expect that he will pursue the
usual digniied and more leisurely
method of communicating by mail, and
that the affair will be adjusted in the
customary mode of elaborate, we'll con-
sidered notes between the representa-
tives of the two powers. The great ad-
vantage to be derived by this course, it
is pointed out, lies in the fact that it
eliminates to a great extent all sudden
ebullitiOns Of feeling and passion, and
permits calm, judiciOus consideration
OF the subject in the light of all the
facts, laws and circumstances in the
case.
The officers of the department of JUS
tice are at present engaged in an in
vestigatlon which will have very i'm
portant bearing on the views which the
two governments will take of the affair,
and it may be that Mr.. Blaine desires
to have the result of that inquiry before
him before he proceeds further. The
department of justice will ascertain the
nationality, character and life of
each Of the men killed, and the facts
developed may modify materially the
international aspect to be taken of the
lynehing. Moreover, as the considera-
ton OF these things will take some time,

Outsidres have no conception of the
work accomplished during a session of
the legislature by the delegations re-
presenting such large cities as st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Duluth. They have
not only to bear their share of the gen.

to spend hours over SPECIAL legislation
required by their districts. Take the
Ramsey delegation. The laws of the city
of st. Paul have been overhauled this ses-

been investigated; bills and charters

Depositors Get Left.

PITTsFIELD, Mass, April 5.-Bank
Commissioner Chapln announced to the
trustees of the Stockbridge Savings
bank Friday that he had decided to put
the bank in the hands of a receiver.
They asked for delay and action was
withheld until Monday. Poor loans, ag-
gregating S44 900, and Willis defalca-
ton of $4,000 are what necessitated
this step: Willis bond of s25O,O00 will
make good his defalcation. There is no
way, however. to make good the poor
loans. these loans were really the
cause of the wreckage of the bank, but
Willis embeZZlement hastened the
disaster. The depositors will probably
lose % per cent.

NEW YORK. April 5.-Inspector
Byrnes' detectives to-day arrested five
of the cOnspiratorS who are charged
with having plotted to gain possession
of the great estate left by the million
aire leather merchant, Loring A. Rob
ertson. The method said to have been
employed by the alleged conspirators,
as has already been published, was to
foist fraudulent widow upon the es-
tate in the person of Cassie Helen
Brooks. The prisoners are the
Brooks woman. Lawyer Byron w.
Cohen, James Daskam, speculatOr, of
Stamford, Conn; Edward l.. Studwell
and Mrs. West. Cohen, Daskam and
Studwell were charged with subordina-
ton. while Cassie Brooks was charged
with perjury. The conspiracy is said to
have been hatched in Stamford, Conn.
In the latter part of October Daskam is
said to have had a talk with
Studwell about finding woman to
personate the widow of a wealthy
man who had recently died.
Studwell. it is said, agreed and produced
Mrs. West. The two, so the story runs,
took her to Lawyer Cohen's Office, but
decided she was too old. Studwell then
learned Robertson was the dead Million
aire. Another Stamford man furnished
the Brooks woman. She was taken also
to Cohen's office. and was, it is declared,
found by the lawyer to be suitable.
Cohen instructed Cassie Brooks, so it
is said. how to act her part as
Helen Robertson. The lawyer is
said to have told her of
many of Robertson's peculiarities, such
as abnormal inquisitiveness. He said
the heirs would gladly compromise the
case. She was to claim a common law
marriage. The details of the plot and
of the prosecution of the case before the
surrogate in Brooklyn have already
been published. A week ago Saturday
Cassie Brooks became frightened and
told her story to the attorneys for the
heirs. The prisoners will be brought
before the general sessions court to-
morrow,

WATERLOO, To-, April 5.-A wonder
full display of solar halos was witnessed
here yesterday afternoon. About 4
o'clock circle of white light, in the
plane of which was the sun. appeared,
encircling the heavens parallel with the
horizon. At two points which, with
the sun, divided this circle into three
equal parts, were two other representa-
tions of suns. except that they had no
brilliaucy. Another circle surrounded
the sun and extended nearly to the
zenith. The portion of this circle which
was nearest the zenith was brilliant
rainbow, and at its highest point q re-
verse circle. also displaying the colors,
joined it. Inside this circle was another,
which was of a fainter light. Brilliant
sun dogs were also visible ON either side
of the sun. This display lasted about
an hour. The sky was clear at the time
but the temperature became notlceably
cooler during the celestial display and
the mercury registered 80 deg. above.

house two very important bills, one to

candidates for office, their agents and

the Italian government good reason to
pause in its hostile negotiations.
Financial houses here having the closest

that in Italy widespread commercial
troubles, long chrome, are becoming

overwhelming public debt. which would
disable her in an attempt to go to war,
unless backed by other European pow
ers, any measures imperiling peace

Already an effect of the American
