0'MALLEY SURRENDERS.
HE CREATEs A SENSATION BY WALKING
INTO CRIMINAL COURT.

There Was a Disposition at First to Lynch
Him, but Wiser Counsels Prevailed-The
Committee of Safety Allows the Law to
Deal With Him.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPArCH.I
NEW ORLEANS, April 3.-Dominick
O'Malley, the missing detective in the
Hennessey case. surprised everyone by ap-
pearing here to-day and surrendering HIM
self to the Criminal Court to answer to the
three indictments against him. Ever since
the lynching of the Italian prisoners
O'Malley has been missing. He has been
reported at a dozen different places, and
several prisoners have passed themselves
off as O'Malley. All the time he has been
secreted In the city.
O'Malley is the head of the private de-
tective agency in this city, which had
charge of the Hennessey murder case for the
Italians. He is accused OF having tampered
with the jury trying the Italians, and the
verdict of acouittal is attributed by many
to the work he did. The feeling of the mob
was as strong against O'Mallev as the Ital-
ians, and it was understood that he was to meet
with the same fate as they. With ex-
traordinary GOODNESS he stood in front of the
hall, the night before the attack on the par
isb prison, where it was decided to lynch the
Italians, and took the names of all those
who entered the building. The next day he
watched the mob as it marched from the
Clay statue to the parish prison.
A friend warned him to leave, as his life
was in danger. 81 will stay and face the
mob and show them that I'm not afraid, !"
he said. You will show them then that
you are fool. his friend replied. At the
last moment O'Malley lett his Office and dis
appeared. A few minutes aiterward a per-
ton of the mob returning from the lynch
ing stopped in front OF his office
to lynch him. His disappearance
was so remarkable that no one
knew how he got away. 1t was publicly
proclaimed that if O'Malley returned he
would be lynched. The grand jury began
the investigation of the alleged bribery of
the Henuessey jury. and found several
blank indictments. 1t is known that three
indictments were made against O'Malley
for bribery, perjury and conspiracy to COM
NIT perjury, but as his whereabouts were
unknown these indictments were not pub
lished
When O'Malley walked into court to-day
he was perfectly cOOl anu tA pldlucu tHdI Ic
had heard of the indictments and wanted to
save the officials the trouble of hunting him
up. 1t is SAID that he may be lynched
now. The evening papers urge that nothing
be done to him. The rule of the mob is at
an end, they say. The law, they claim, has
resumed its course, and there is nothing to
be feared from O'Maliey now, therefore he
ought to have full and fair trial.
The Committee of Safety, it is reported
met late this afternoon to consider what ac-
ton should be taken in the case OF O'Mal-
ley. Several members urged that harsh
measures should be taken against him, but
the majority decided that the law should
take its course.

To Do Any Serious Damage TO the Sea Coast
Cities of This Country.
PHILADELPHIA, April 3.-Charles II.
Cramp. the head of the great ship-building
firm here. SAYS New York is in no danger
from the Italian ironclads. They'll never
come over here" he said confidently.
I'm the first place, they can't carry
coal enough to make such voyage
safe. Then, their great draught would make
1t impossible Tor them TO do much damage
here. They are not familiar with our coast,
and would be in constant danger of ground
ing the moment they came near the coast
They carry heavy guns, but except for
firing on city, those guns are not effective
much over a mile, and the new cruisers
recently constructed could be very effective
by circling about the monsters and pepper
ing them with long range rifed cannon and
drawing them into shallow water.
''1f shot from one of the ironclads struck
one of our cruisers it would, of course, do
considerable damage, but, except by chance,
it is doubtful if at such distance any
gunner in the italian navy could hit such q
small object as vessel going at the rate of
from Is to 20 knots an hour. The shallow
water and the great dra t of the ironclads
make it practically impossible to success
fully lombard New York. The Vesuyius
is the only dynamite cruiser in the world,
and if she should drop one of her deadly
shells aboard an Italian ironclad all danger
from the latter would be over.

Free Access to Courts.
The right and privilege ot the citizens OF
Italy to resort to these State courts for protec-
tion and redress of grievances is expressly
given in Article So of the treaty of 1871, which
provides that the citizens of either party shall
have free access to the courts of justice. IN

taxes than such as are imposed upon the ma

No State can pass law to deny these rights
to a citizen of Italy and the United States. act
ing through its Judicial department. would
annul such laws and compel the State courts
to hear and decide upon the rights of Italians.
In cases like those that have arisen in LOUIS
lana. the United States have come under no
other political obligations to Italy than to Sc
cure TO her citizens the rights mentioned in
article 80 of the treaty.
Same Rights as Natives.
As to such rights including all that are
within the jurisdiction of the State courts, tne
third article of the treaty applies, when 1t pro-
vldes THAI the citizens of the high CONTRACTING
par;leS shall receive in the States and Terri
tories of the other the most constant protection
and security for their persons and property,
ana shall enjoy in this respect the same rlghts

natives ON their submitting themselves to the
conditions imposed upon the natives.
Equality of rights and privileges in the
States and Territories with the natives and up
on the same conditions, relating to protection
and security for their persons and property,' IS
what the United States has granted to Italians.
If any State IN its laws, or in their administra-
ton, should discriminate against Italians. be.

case to consider if the Federal courts could
not give redress, where indemnity would be de-
serving. But in such a case Italy would have
nothing to do with the question whether the
United States would either rebuke or attempt
to punish the local authorities.
With this treaty in view, 1t is absurd that
Italy should claim that the United States
should punish the mob in Louisiana, or its
leaders, or the local authorities in New Or

Socialists and Anarchists Thirst for the
Blood of Moderate Delegate.
PARIS, April 3.-During to-day's session
of the International Miners Congress, the
question of the advisability of a general
strike was brought up and stormy debate
over the matter ensued. The discussion was
brought to close amid sounds of the utmost
disorder. The whole house was in an up
roar, the Socialist and Anarchist delegates
and the spectators in the galleries vociter-
ously execrating Delegate Basly, who had
taken an attitude of moderation in the mat
ter. 1t was finally decided to put the ques-
tion to 4 vote at to-morrow's session, when
the public will be excluded from the delib-
erations of the congress-.
When the session was adjourned to-day, a
bowling mob gathered outside the building
and threatened vengeance on Delegate Basly
for his action in regard to the strike matter.
The crowd was so violent that NJ. Basly
was afraid to face them, and he was obliged
to make his escape from the building by
way of back door.

A ROAST FOR RUDINI.
ENGLISH OPINION SETTING IN STEADILY
AGAINST HIM.

His Own and Italy's Pretensions Ridiculed
by the High Glass weekIies-A War
With the United States Absurd Even by
Combined Europe.
COPYRIGHT, 1891, BY THE NEW YORK ASSOCIATED
PREss.i
LONDON, April 3-Current opinion here
is setting more steadily against the action of
the Marquis di Rudini in trying to force
the hands of Mr. Blaine in the matter of the
lynching of Italians in New Orleans. To
morrow's leading high class weeklies devote
considerable attention to an analysis Of the
position, and generally discuss the affair
from the standpoint of the United States
Constitution. The Spectator holds that ''Se-
rious thinking Americans will admit the
imperfection of the Constitution, and that
they are bound to remedy the defect, all the
more because there is a small chance of
their being compelled to remedy it,"
Touching the talk of war. the Spectator
ridicules the notion of Italy declaring war
against one of the greatest powers In the
worid "a power capable within six
months of buying and building feet that
would block every port in Italy. Ameri-
can ingenuity would be so stimulated to
outdo itself that it would turn every steamer
that could float into an improvised iron
clad"
The EconomiS. says: "The Marquis di
Rudini and his Government are in q cul de
sac. They cannot sit still; they cannot
fight and they cannot obtain the redress
they want without fighting. Italy's allies
will never permit her to risk war that
would disturb European combinations. The
United States holds the exceptional position
that it cannot be conquered by any power
or probable combination of powers, even if
all Europe was allied and made the attempt.
But the United States also cannot conquer
any great power.
"Baron Fava's note, ssys the Catholic
Tablet, begged every question at issue.
The real explanation OF the precipitate
action of the Italian Ministers must be
found in the fact that they feel that public
opinion in Italy required some demonstra-
tion,"
The Conservative press apply the diff
Guilty to illustrate the evil that would result
from the concession of home rule to Ireland,
and the comparison will have undoubled
potency in electoral platforms. Ii autono-
my should be granted to Ireland it is argued
how could the Irish be compelled, except
forcibly, to observe foreign and imperial
obligations. The Conservatives fling about
with delighted surprise these new reasons
against home rule.
A report prevailed in political clubs to-
night that Lord Salisbury, on the iustiga-
ton of the Marquis di Rudini, would
offer to mediate for the adjustment
of the difference between Italy and the
United States. A high Foreign Office Of
fetal, when asked TO state the views OF the
Government, said that the question had not
been discussed. He admitted that COM
municatIon had been sent 10 Sir Julian
Pauncefote to report on the question, and
especially as affecting the protection of
British subjects,

nPHCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.t
NASHVILLE, April 3.-Henry B. Davies,
who was convicted of forgery in Upton
county a year ago and sent to the Tracy
City coal mines to serve six years, was par
doned by Governor Buchanan several
days ago. 1t was discovered to-day

convict.
The Governor, after sending the pardon to
Tracy City, wrote to Mr.. Baptist informing
him of what he had done. Mr.. Baptist
came to Nashville and astonished the Gov

that of those attached to the petition had
been forged. The Governor telegraphed the

MONTREAL FEARS A FLOOD.
Ice in the St Lawrence Forced Over the
DYKE Into the Streets.

Ice in the St Lawrence Forced Over the
Dyke Into the Streets.
MONTREAL, April 3.-Fears of food
are now predominant, and tie immediate
cause OF the sudden anxiety is the shoves
that took place in the ice last night and the
sudden rise in the water that followed
the shoves The ice came down
rapidly, striking at central
point just opposite Jacques Cartiere square.
An enormous body OF ice was showed in
here. 1t struck the dyke, and in an instant
the promenade platform was torn bodily up
for 90 feet. The dyke itself withstood the
pressure, and the ice slid right up and over
it, falling into the street and piling up to
the height o: 80 feet. The water took
sudden rise of Is inches, and then fell
almost as suddenly two feet. 1t then COM
menced TO rise.
The conditions at present are almost en-
tirely the same as in 1887, when the big
flood occurred. While the dyke may with
stand the force of the ice, it may not be
water-tight, and this is looked upon as an
element of danger. Pumps have been set
to work and everything will be done to
avert the threatened disaster.

LONDON. April 3.-Prinoe Henry, of
Battenburg, had slight attack of smallpox
at Grasse. The fact was kept a secret and
his illness was attributed to his catching a
cold. He is now recovering.
The Queen wants to appoint Prince Henry
OF Rattenberg, to the post of Warden OF the
Cinque Ports, made vacant by the death of
Earl Granville. No salary is attached to
the place, but there goes with it splendid
residence and free quarters in Walmer

nation, insisting upon the Premier's right
to appoint the Warden. The Queen refuses,
however, to recognize the Premier's power
to interfere with crown nomination.

slider New Building Legislation.
NEW YORK, April 8. 3.-Representatives Of
the American Institute of Architects, the
National Association of Builders, the Ma
tional Association OF Building Inspectors,
the National Board of Underwriters and the
National Association of Fire Engineers con-
vened in this city to-day. The object OF the
convention is to jointly frame model build
ing ordinance. A subcommittee appointed
to consider the question at issue deemed it
impracticable at present to draw up a de-
tailed building law which could be applied
to all cities without local notifications.
Some of the recommendations are:
First-That the Legislatures of the various
States should establish building laws govern
ing the construction of buildings. Second
That in all Incorporated cities there should be
a separate department for the Inspection of
buildings, whose officers should be appointed
for long terms by the local executive OF each
city. 1hird-That aside from special local
coGes, the general law should contain rules thai
all buildings over 20 feet high must be built OF
incombustible material.
Further recommendations are made for
the safety of human life in building.

CHICAGO, April 3.-Five candidates for
Mayor have been in the field for the past
fortnight Two Of them are Democrats,
two of them Republicans and the
fifth is Socialistic Republi-
can. The campaign, which will
close on Monday night, has been the bitter

matters worse by nominating a ticket
composed of men about town and members

assurances from scores of citizens, who are
disgusted with the partisan war, of their
loyal support in the coming battle.
The Whtechapel platform is a novel
piece of architecture in its way. The can

saloon licenses, gas lamps, the grip and
many other things. 1t is estimated that the
clubs popularity alone will draw to its
candidates fully 1000 votes. The four old
party candidates are running so close to-
gether that the Whitechapeler is liable to
upset any one of them.

judgment of the inspectors who examined
them, likely to become public charges.
These 19 are the first immigrants against
whom the new law has been enforced. The
steamship companies will have to provide
for them pending the sailing of the vessels
