CONDENSED TELEGRAMS.

GREAT excitement was created at
Washington on the 31st by the an
nouncement that Baron Fava, the Italian
minister, had presented his letters Of
recall and demanded his passports from
this Government. The report was con-
strued at first as declaration of hos
tilities, but on examination is pro-
nounced by diplomats and high officials
of the Government to be devoid of the
sensational features or significance that
was at first attached to it.
The total number of business failures
in the United States and Canada for the
first quarter of the current year were
3,4O1, against 3,326 for the first quarter
of 1890.
JUDGE A. R. WRIGHT, one of the
greatest men Georgia ever produced, was
found dead near Macon on the 31st.
Apoplexy was the cause of his death.
Judge Wright served in Congress a
number of years during the secession
time, and he was one of the South's
leaders.
THERE were 100 deaths at Chicago on
the 31st. The total number of deaths in
the month of March was 3,249 OF these
nearly one-third were due to the grip
or complications of other diseases with
grip.
GEORGE ELLIOTT fogged his wife at
Sumpter, S. c., on the 30th, and his
mother-in-law coming on the scene at
the time, drove the blade of a hatchet
into Elliott's skull. His injuries will
prove fatal.

THE draw span of the Gould bridge
over the Arkansas River at Fort Smith,

Facts for Contemplation by Those who
Purchase Hand-me-Down Clothing as
Revealed by an Investigation of the
"Sweating" System in New York-Cryine
Need for Reform.
BosToN, March 31.-The Legislative
committee on public health began a
manufacturing clothing in New York,
which was made the subject of re-
cent special message by Gov. Russell,
John Crowley, of Boston, general Sec
retary of the Clothing Operatives Ma
tional union, testified that he had been
to New York and found that several
prominent dealers of Boston had their
goods manufactured in New York
tenement houses under unwholesome
conditions. The surroundings were ex-
tremely filthy. In one room measuring
twelve by nine feet there were thirty
people of both sexes. The air was foul.
Up stairs were a number of children
the eldest 10 years of age, entirely
nude, playing about the floors.
Unwholesome sweating establish
ments were found at % Attorney
street, 80 Christie street, 1862 Division
street, and 1893 Division street. This
was in November last. Isaac Mullen,
the inspector of factories in Massachu-
sets, had been sent to New York to
examine the system. He testified that
at 81 Reade street, buckets of slops
were standing about and the rooms
were crowded with people. At IS
Reade street the operatives were Poles,
who received six cents for making a
pair of pantaloons. The goods were
shipped direct from the big clothing
houses in Boston.
The committee then adjourned to II
a. IN. to-day.
