A REUNION of the veterans of the
national and confederate armies in the
late war has been arranged to take place
at Chicago while the worlds fair is held
in that city. No exhibit OF American
attainment will be so interesting to stu
dents of political history as the cordial
meeting of those who fought against
each other in the rebellion. Most or all
of the old bitterness has passed away
and the leaders and soldiers can meet
with no unpleasant thoughts and offer
to the world n spectacle such as it has
seldom seen, of vIctors and vanquished
uniting in celebrating the life and
growth Of civilization in their common

RUDINI INTERVIEWED.

The italian Premier Says He Has No
Intention of Pushing Any Demands.
Boston, April 6.-The Herald prints a
special from Rome which says: An emf
nent friend of Rudini's asked him yesterday
how he felt toward the United States The
prime minister's reply was that he har-
bored none but the most friendly feelings
toward the United States government, and
that these feelings had not been disturbed
by recent events.
He said that he had no intention of push
ing any demands, and was content with
having taken one positive step as pro-
test against what he was led to believe at
the time was neglect on the part of the
United States government to protect the
lives of the Italian citizens in America un-
der the provisions of the treaty. He ex-
yressed himself as aware that to do any
thing more than justice would be a grave
error on his part, as he had perfect conf
dence in the sincerity and justice of the
United States government. Finally he
said:
81 shall now simply wait for the further
details of the New Orleans affair, of the
character of the slain men, of the action of
the Louisiana authorities, and of the in
tentions of the United States court. What
ever it may be, am quite sure that a
settlement thoroughly satisfactory to both
parties will be made, and that the friend
ship that binds the two nations will re-
main unalterable and secure"

BAYsHORE, L. l., April 8.-The boy,

Leet from the Wooster school at New
Haven, was recovered by Lis father,
Michael Donovan, at the. farm house of

Mr.. Donovan having obtained track of the
lad he started with Lawyer DAILY and Miss
Leet to recover him. DAILY and Miss Leet
approached the Wick's farmhouse, while
Donovan kept in the background. Having
discovered the boy DAILY gave signal and
Donovan rushed in and claimed him. Mrs.
Lydia Rankin, the grandmother of the
child, struggled for possession of the boy,
and dramatic scene took place. Dono-
van finally got his child into the carriage
and drove back here and stopped at the
Dominy hotel until he took train to New
York. The scene between the father and
child was very affecting, and the boy was
rejoiced at his coming. The boy said he
had been roughly used and ill-fed.

NINE LIVES LOST.
Burned Beyond Recognition i'm a Fire at

ROCHESTER,, Pa, April Z. - About
midnight fire broke out in large frame
building ON New York street, owned by
John +. Smith and occupied by K. j.
Keene as a dwelling and shoe store,
Mrs. A. Hall as millinery store, and in
the upper rooms were a number of
Italians. Nine lives were lost. All the
bodies have been recovered, but each body
is burned beyond recognition.
Maria Tecchio, aged 16, escaped by
jumping from the second story, and al
though not seriously injured, is Frustrated.
She talks incoherently and seems to re-
member but little of the frightful
struggles of her kinsmen. She says that
when she awoke the fire was burning be-
low and their rooms were filled with
smoke. She slept in the back room, her
mother and the children in the middle
room, and her father and his brother Vic
toria Tickio and Josef Raema, both
visitors, occupied the front room. Maria
tried to rouse her people, but they were al
ready asphyxiated. She stayed until the
fire burned her, and she was compelled to
jump for her life.

Financial Crash Would Follow Should
Italy Attempt to Go to War.
PARIS, April 6.-The conflict between
Italy and the United States continues to
attract attention. Sig. Raquem, a former
Garibaldian, now editor of The Epoque,
the organ of the italian colony here, said
in an interview: "Of course there will be
no war. The Republicans in Italy, who
form q powerful minority, entertain a
friendly feeling toward America and
would consider war with the United
States simply an attempt to discredit, in
the eyes Of the italian people, Republican
institutions. A recent meetings Of Italians
in Paris discussed the New Orleans affair
and, while everybody reprobated the con-
duct of the lynchers, nobody approved the
action Of the Marquis di Rudini. Baron
Fava was greatly blamed for creating
the difficulty. He is an aristocrat
and is not in sympathy with Republican
institutions. His report to the Italian cabi-
net doubtless colored by his own antipa-
thies, precipitated matters. The Epoque
faithfully reflects the feelings of Repub-
lican Italy in advocating arbitration. Ac-
cording to our view, nothing ought to be
done to embarrass Mr.. Blaine in his efforts
to effect an early and pacific settlement !"
Sig. Raquem's view of the situation
does not cover potent factor which has
given the Italian government good reason
to pause in its hostile negotiations. f.
nancial houses here, having the closest IN,
fatfons Win MaIian Houses, BratE that III
Italy widespread commercial troubles,
long chronic, are becoming critical, and
that apart from Italy's overwhelming
debt, which would disable her in an at
tempt to 60 to war, unless backed by
other European powers, any measures inn
perilling peace would produce general
financial crash. Already an effect of the
American-Italian difficulty is felt in the
hesitation of French financial houses to
proceed with the negotiations pending for
the prospective Italian loan, in which
German houses are also concerned.

WASHINGTON, April S.-Senator George
| F. Edmunds of Vermont has resigned, the
resignation to take effect Nov. next. The
following is a copy of the letter rendering
his resignation to the governor Of Yer

UNITED STATES SENATE,

me to tender to you, as the governor of the
state of Vermont, my resignation of the office
of senator of the United States, the resignation
to take effect on the first day of November
A. ID. 1891.
This action has been for some time in con-
temptation and is finally decided on and COM
municated to you at this time in order that
there may be ample time to hear and consider
the views of the people of our state in respect
to the selection of my successor. In thus
terminating my official relations with the
state, beg to express to her steadfast, in
telligent and patriotic citizens, my profound
gratitude for the long and unwavering conf
dence and support they have given me Cover
Ing an eventful period of quarter of CEN
tury) in my efforts to promote and defend, so
far as have been able, their honor and well
fare in common with that Of all the people Of
the United States.
In ceasing to be a senator I am proud that
continue to be citizen Of our beloved COM
monwealth, and that 1 may with my fellow
citizens in private life continue to strive for
the maintenance of those principles of liberty,
equality and justice, in government, which

SIR-It becomes my duty to inform you that
I have sent to the governor of the state of Ver-
mont my resignation of the Office of senator Of

The announcement of the resignation
throws light upon the resignation Of Sec
retary Proctor, and which Secretary Proc
tor could not well affirm or deny until
Senator Edmunds had made his decision
public. Secretary Proctor will probably
be an active candidate before the legisla-
ture, which is likely to be called in special
session soon after the resignation of Sena-
tor Edmunds takes effect. There will be
Just time to elect senator in session for

WOrId-Fam4u ShoWmens
BRIDGEPORT, Com, April s.-Phineas
Taylor Barnum, the veteran Snowman,
whose name lonG ago became household
word both throu& hout this country and in
Europe, died peacefully at his home 40
6.82 o'clock last evening, aged 81 years. For
several days past his immediate family
have entertained grave fears for his recov-
cry, but it was not until Monday evening
when an alarming change for the worse
was apparent. During the period Of Mr..
Barnum's sickness Of over twenty-ona
weeks, in which he has been confined to
the house, he has slowly but gradually be-
come weaker and his decline has been per-
ceived by those Of his immediate family.
The change Monday night, however, was
so perceptible that his family became
alarmed and Immediately telegraphed his
daughter, who reached his bedside yester-
day and was present at his death.
During his entire illness Mr.. Barnum
has been down stairs only twice, although
sitting up much of the the time, and being
cheerful and conversationally inclined.
During his illness the physicians have been
careful about administering morphine or
sedatives of any kind, through fear that
they might produce ulterior i'll effects.
Mr.. Barnum spoke of this, and said that
when all hope was gone he wished to be
given sedatives which would allay his pain
and make his passage from this world to
the next as peaceful as possible. Mrs.
Barnum has been an almost constant at
tendant at the bedside Of her dying hus-
band, and carefully watched every per
ceptible change. Mr.. Barnum never ral-
lied from the comatose state in which he
fell yesterday afternoon, and died appar-
emily peaceful and happy. When the end
was reached, Mrs. Barnum said: "All is
over" She, with the rest of the family
then withdrew from the room.
