Governor Nichols, of Louisiana, this
morning in regard to the recent killing
of the eleven Italians in jail at New Or

BATON ROUGE, March "a, 1891.
Hon. Jas. G. Blaine, Secretary Of State,
Washington, d. G..
SIR: At late hour, on the IL til inst.
received dispatch from you, having
reference to the forcible breaking, on
the 14th OF this month, of the jail in
this city and killing of eleven persons
confined therein under indictments
found in the criminal district court for
the parish New Orleans.
You stated to mo THAI it had been
represented to the President by the
Minister OF Italy accredited to the Gov
ernment of tho United States. that
among the killed on that occasion were
three or four subjects of tho king of
Italy. The telegram discloses appre-
hension on the part of the minister, evil
IDENTIFY shared in by the President, that
the disturbance was a continuous and
swelling disturbance, which might in.
volve Italian subjects in New Orleans. s
have reasons to believe that the
hope expressed by the President that /
would CO, operate with him in maintain-
ing the obliga tions of tho Tilted States
toward Italian subjects who might be
within perils of excitement, and that
further violence and bloodshed might
be prevented, was based upon that be-
lief. The President further expressed
hope that all offenders might be
promptly brought to Justice.
On the 10th | telegraphed you that
there was no excitement in the city at
that time, and that saw no reason to
anticipate further trouble. l was sat

against particular individuals and that

the date OF my dispatch and the opin-
ion then entertained as to the termi-
nation of the trouble has proved to

Tho men killed, as I haye stated,
were confined in prison under indiot-
ments found in tho criminal district
court for the parish of New Orleans.

tho facts to tho court, and tho Judge
thereof has charged tho grand jury,

JOSEPH e. JOHNSTON,
Born, Febrary 3rd, 1907,
Died March 21st, 1891.

This plate was placed on the casket
this morning. it having been ascertained
from the family bible that the popular
impression and that of General john
ston himself that he was born in 1909,
was erroneous. The plate which had
first been affixed to the casket, which
gave tho date of birth as 1909, was
therefore removed and the new plato
substituted, giving the correct period OF
his birth.
Tho body was attired in civilians
suit of plain black and without any
thing to indicate military rank St.
Johns church, small and of the style of
architecture of many years ago, was
crowded to its utmost capacity with
delegations of cx.confederates md diff
ferent societies and many prominent
people of Washington. Tho general
was for a number of years a leading
member of st. Johns, and number of
the honorary pail bearers were selected
from the membership.
The services were conducted by Rev.
DR.. Douglass, rector of the church, and
were confined to tho simple Episco-
palian burial services for the dead. AS
the remains were borne up the church
aisle the congregation arose, while the
white surpliced choiristers touchingly
sang, "Oh, Paradise, Oh, Paradise. /"
Resting on the heavy cloth covered
casket were three branches of English
violets and lilies of the valley, and ar
ranged around the casket were floral
devices of anchors and pillows sent by
tho generals friends in Washington
and elsewhere.
In the pcws reserved were the near
relatives, pall-bearers, and delegates Of
Confederate veterans. The Southern
Society, OF New York, sent delegation
consisting of President Hugh r. Gard
ner, Vice-president j. II. Parker, Peter
Mallett. l. A. Buell., Eugene f. Jones,
j. III, Francis, ii. V. Snead, and L. =.
Hugher.
DIR. Douglass read the services begin
ming, 81 am the resurrection and the
life," and the choir sang tho hymn,
"Just as am Without One Plea" after
which the burial services for the dead
were read, followed by the singing of
Rock of Ages Cleft for Me-" and at the
conclusion Of the services, and as the
casket was borne to the hearse, tho
choir, joined by the congregation, sang
the hymn, abide With Me-"

THE RICHMOND STRIKE.

The Union Men of all Trades will Stand
by the Striking Machinists
10 RICHMOND, March 24.-The strike of
the $50 machinists of the Richmond
Locomotive Works, who went out last
week, was increased yesterday by the
molders Of that establishment at noon.
These men notified the managers that,
unless the demands of the striking ma
chinists were acceded to, they would 60
out. The machinists complain that the
managers of the Locomotive Works en-
ploy unskilled labor and perform the
work which should be done by trained
mach1nists. II was this grievance
which the molders insisted upon should
be righted. Tho management declined
to yield, and the forty or fifty molders
went out, declaring they did not work
for ''scab fnishers."
A meeting was held yesterday of the
Trades Council of this city, composed of
representatives from each of the nine
teen trades here. At this meeting the
following resolutions were adopted and
given out for publications
Resolved, Thatit is the sense of this
Trades Council, and we do so recon-
mend, that the most manly matter of

o'clock unless the troubles with the ma
chinists be satisfactorily settled before

There are six hundred persons on the
payroll of the locomotive works, accord
ing to the statement of General Mana
ger Davis. III the plan Of the trades
council is carried out the strike will be
one of the longest that ever occurred in
the city, which has been fortunate in
not having any serious labor troubles.
at the meeting yesterday the men
showed determined spirit to remain
firm until the rights of the machinists
are granted by tho management of the
firm. The machinists have appointed
committee of twenty to be on duty at
or near the works to advise newcomers
of their grievance. They will not, they
say, use the slightest effort to coerce or
influence any new men from going to
work. All they desire to do is to make
a-clear explanation of the condition of
affairs to those who seek to fill the
places of the strikers. The latter claim
to be we'll off financially, and assert
that they can pay the men that are out
almost full wages for some time to
come.

speaker Crisp

The nomination of Hon. c. F. Crisp,
of Georgia, as the democratic candidate
for speaker OF the house of representa-,
tives of the SEA congress was accom-
plished on the 30th ballot last night, the
final and decisive vote giving him 119,
Mills los, Springer 4. Stevens l. Mr..
Springer and Congressman Durburrow
and Stewart of this state, went to the
Georgian on the last ballot, while the re
msinder of the Illinois delegation voted
for Mills.
The selection of Mr.. Crisp as the demo-
cratic leader in tie lower house of con-
gress, will meet with as general spprobs-
ton from the democracy of the
union as would have that of any
of the other candidates. The west
and northwest would have preferred
either Springer or Mills. principally for
their more pronounced tariff views, but
Mr.. Crisp's remarks upon being chosen
to the speskership, make him just as
acceptable TO tariff reformers as his re-
cent competitors. He said, My election
as speaker will mean no steps backward
in tariff reform" This is an unit ouivocal
pledge that he is thoroughly in line with
his party on this vital question, and
stamps as false the assertion made prior
and during the speskership question that
be leaned strongly towards the protective
idea.
The ARers is glad that the cry raised
in certain quarters that Crisp being
southern man should not be SLOWED to
WELD the speakers gayel, was of no
avail. The democratic party is not di-
vided in the matter OF sectional lines. and
it is more than possible that Mr.. Crisp's
election will convince the calamity shrek,
ers of the republican party that the south
is now as much interested in the proper
management Of COVER ment ffices as the
north. ard his election will in time con-
vince sober minded people that it is q

Who Pays the Tariff Tax.

One of the foremost claims of the pro.
tectionist is that the foreign shipper
pays the duties. If this is true, isn't it
strange that when famine threatens any
country, one of the first means of relief
thought of should be diminution or re-
moval of import duties on food stuffs?
Again, the report of the treasury de-
partment for the fiscal year 1890 shows
that 6, 100 gallons of castor oil were i'm
ported, valued at S2,910 The duties
were $500.
Now, if the foreign shipper paid the
duty, is it not certain that he not only
made US present of the oil, but gave
us besides $3.50 to get rid of it? In
1890 importers brought into the United
States ga, 653 gallons of spirits distilled
from grain, valued at 1856, 121, the duties
ON which were 1895, 1857. Who paid
these duties? If the importers, they lost
not only the liquor, but SS73, 246 besides.
There are, of course, extreme cases, but
the truth or fallacy of proposition lis
generally more forcibly shown by taking
extreme cases.-Rural New Yorker.

A New window Glass Trust Projected.

~ new WINDOW UIdss trust PROJECTED.
The manufacturers Of window glass
are again perfecting plans for a trust.
1t will be recalled that they were com
pleting a combination a year ago last
spring, while Mr.. Mckinley was max
ing his tariff bill, and that the managers
Of that combination were in session at
Chicago when Mr.. Mckinley, at their
suggestion, caused to be inserted in the
bill the curious proviso designed to pre-
vent the importation of window glass in
boxes containing more than fifty square
feet. That combination was dissolved
owing to the hostile attitude of two or
three manufacturers upon whose adhe-
sion the makers of the organization had
relied.
Some of our high tariff contemporaries
asserted that it was scared ont of exist
ence by the antitrust law. Concerning
the new movement The Iron Age says,
-'The idea is to operate all the plants in
the combination through one manage
ment; to control prices, wages and prod
net, and to secure economy in the pur-
chase of materials and the sale of goods"
The manufacturers tried to reduce wages
three months ago, but the workmen were
too powerful for them.
The Paint, Oil and Drug Review re
ports that three secret meetings of the
manufacturers have recently been held
and predicts that plans for the combina-
ton will be completed within few days.
The third meeting was held in Cincin-
matt on the 10th inst, and we presume
that Senator Sherman would gladly have
improved the opportunity to rebuke
these trust makers if he had not been so
busi1y engaged in mending his senatorial
fences.-New York Times.
