PARIS, March 2s.-Apropos OF the
lynching of Italians at New Orleans, the
Italian consul in this CITY, SiVnor Ress-
mann, in an interview with an Associated
Press correspondent, said the members of
the ltlliaB~eolony here did not believe

affair. The consul added: When |
represented Italy at ConstantinoDle, the
secret society known as the Malta was
very strong there. Its agents committed
two murders. both of the victims being
killed because thoy we're suspected of
having an intention of betraGing the
Mafia's secrets.

Almost a Perfect Counterfeit.

WASHINGTON, March ga sensation
has been caused at the treasury depart
ment by the discovery of a counterfeit 81
silver certificate so nearly perfect as to be
almost impossible of detection. Paper
with silk thread through it is for the first
time almost perfectly initiated in the
counterfeit just discovered. So far as is
now known, il has been used in counter
feiting the 81 certificate OF the series of
1886. 1t is estimated that there are now
nearly $40, 900 of these notes in circula-
ton. and the problem before the treasury
department is how to get them back Tito
the treasury aud substitute the new series
without embarrassment before any con
siderable quantity Of the %counterft it notes
get into circulation. This was the sub
iect of a secret conference st the treasury
department this afternoon between Sec
rotary Foster and the leading officials Of
the bureau of engraving and printing. 1t
was practically decided to suspend the
printing of 80 silver certificates and insti-
ute a new series of the same denomina-
ton. These will contain a %vignette Of
Secretary Window and be issued as soon
as the necessary plates can be engraved.
1t will take about two months to prepare
the plates and in the meantime the gov
eminent will exert its utmost cndeavors
to secure and destroy the plates and other
paraphernalia used in the manufacture of
the counterfeit.

sun, and had hardly thrown his line
out into the water when he saw a dark
object rapidly approaching the surface.
At first the genial colonel thought it an
alligator Of unusual size, but on closer
observation discovered it to be an enor-
creeping serpent. When this
huge monster was within a few yards
of him Col. Jones gathered some stones
about the size of goose eggs and struck
it several times in succession, and.
strange to say, the blows did not APP
pear to worry his snakeship to any
great degree, as It never once left the
surface Of the water, but continued un-
concerned at a slow pace up stream.
Col Jones Immediately seized his rod
and line and scampered hastily 10 his
boat. 1t was only "A question Of a few
minutes before he was in midwater and
in hot pursuit Of the object, which was
soon overtaken. When within close
proximity he noticed the huge reptile
seemed to be blind and apparently
harmless. Fearing an attack, however.
Col. Jones seized his rifle. and, taking
aim at his head, fired. The bullet
lodged in the collar bone and broke its
neck. There was a slight movement of
the tail, a little slashing of water. and
all was over, the monster floating down
stream.
Curious to learn the species of this
peculiar reptile, Col. Jones made a lasso
from a stout rope which he had in the
boat and threw it around its body. thus
enabling him to tow it ashore. \ crit

he had captured a monster snale never

the reason they are doubly careful in
