THE I14LIih CONSUL
At New Orleans Reports that the Autlc

AT New Orleans Reports that the Author
tiles Are to Blame.
WASHINGTON, March 1S.-Baron Fava,
the italian minister, to-day received the
first reports from the italian consul at
New Orleans in relation to the killing of
the Italians there last Saturday. These
reports, it is said, sustain the position
taken by Baron Fava in his protest to
Blaine of March 18th, with relation to
the inaction of the authorities of New
Orleans before and during the shooting.
In transmitting a copy of the reports to
Secretary Blaine, Baron Fava repeated
that The conduct of the local authorities
at New Orleans was, in the highest de-
gree, blameable, for the reason that it
was not in keeping with their duties to
protect the lives of the italian sub
jects according to the terms of the treaties
existing between the two countries, as
had been called to the attention of the
governor by Secretary Blaine with un-
questionable spirit of justice. to which
the baron said he bore cheerful witness.

HansbrOugh Is Srcastic,

WASHINGTON, March 18.-The Associ-
ated Press dispatch announcing that
Tom Lowry had offered 100000 in Min
neapolis Tribune stock and $4,000 a year
to Ex-senator Pierce, was shown to Sen
ator Hansorough, who said: 81 am glad
that a quarter of a million dollars is
freely offered as a gift to my predecessor.
I am also glad that the president Is
trying to give him the Japanese mission
and other good things. If Pierce, how
ever, will only continue to hold all of his
friends at arms length and reject their
alluring temptations for one more year
I have no doubt the people of this re.
public will rise en- masse and offer him
the presidency. He ought not to accept
anything smaller or less distinguishing
than the chief magistracy."
Senator Hunsbrough has recommended
Judson J. Jordan to be postmaster at
Fargo, Congressman johnson has in
dorsed H. G. Plumley at request of Mai.
Edwards. The real candidate of Johnson
and Edwards is Col. Magill, and Plum
ley is used las a blind. Ex-senator
Pierce is determined to defeat Jordan
and will be here in a few days to see the
president in behalf of Magill. Maj. Ed
wards is remaining here to assist in the
fight against Jordan. Pierce has already
done considerable good work for Magill,
but it has all been verbal, not a scrap OF
paper being on file over his signature.
The above inside history of the Fargo
case has been obtained in spite of the
obstinate silence of johnson, Edwards,
Hansbrough and Pierce. The facts are
stated with absolute correctness.

THE UNFORTUNATE SMELLS,
A Servant Girl Arrested Charged Will
Poisoning Mrs. Smell.

"A Servant Girl arrested Charged With
Poisoning Mrs. Smell.
CHICAGO, March lS.-A new chapter
in the troubles of the Smell family was
unfolded to-day which may rival the
mysteriousness of the murder of million
aire Smell and the disappearance of Tas-
colt. A few days ago Hattie Juerst,
nurse girl employed in the family of
Albert j. Smell, was arrested charged by
her employer with larceny. 1t now
seems that the son of the dead Million
aire, who had placed two private detec-
tives in his family did not do this merely
to ascertain whether or not Hattie Juerst
had stolen a few vaIuables, but to dis
cover the strange cause of the illness of
Mrs. Smell. For some weeks past Mrs.
SHELLS health has been failing
very rapidly. Finally it was
noticed that the tonic she was
taking was having a decidedly
bad effect. One day she found in the
bottom of the bottle a white sediment
which her physicians said was not part
of the tonic. Then wine was substituted
for the tonic, but the same bad effects
followed, and the doctor told Smell that
his wife was being poisoned. An ex-
animation disclosed the presence III the
wine Of the same powder that had
been been found in the tonic. De-
t~ectives were employed, and Hattie
Juersts' arrest on a larceny charge
followed. In her trunk was found $500
worth of Mrs. SMELLS property, and a
vial Of white powder, apparently identi-
cal with that found with the tonic and
the wine bottles. The powder has been
submitted TO a chemist for analysis, and,
pending his report, the attorney for the
Smells refuses to talk.

Taking Hostile Indians.

CHICAGO, March 19.-World's Fair
Commissioner w. H. Day of South Da-
kota is s%trenuously opposed to allowing
Buffalo Bill to take the ex-hostlIe Indi-
ans, now in Fort Sheridan, to Europe.
He makes the point that it will have a
very bad effect on the Indians on reser-
v~ations. They would all be very glad of
an opportunity to go to Europe, of the
wonders of which they have heard from
returned members of the "Wild West
Show" Day added: "Why, when the
other Indians on the reservation hsar of
it they will be going on the war path in
hopes of being similarly treated. We
will have an outbreak every week or two.
Why not? The whole business is tanta-
mount to the government saying to the
Indians: Shoot a hole through the white
nan and get a ticket to Europe"

which is entirely harmless and sluggish
in its movements, passes the entire day
asleep at the foot Of the staircase of the
house, scarcely deigning to raise its head
at the approach of visitor or. when a
strange noise is heard in the vestibule.

officially indicates the success of what he
