A JAIL DELIVERY.
Two of the House of Correction
Escapes Retaken.

AS stated exclusively in THE CALL yes
teTday, six prisoners escaped from the
House Of Correction ON Monday morning
The particulars of the Jail delivery were
ascertained yesterday. 1t was few min
utes past o'clock when the break occurred,
and owing to the dense fog that swept in
from the ocean at the time the prisoners
easily made their escape. The half dozen
who made the break for liberty were
TRUSTEES" and the break was great sur
prise to Superintendent Fragley and Assist
ant Daily.
Early on Monday morning the usual
number of prisoners were put to work on tue
roads in the vicinity OF the prison. Super
intendent Fragley was taliying off the men
when he happened to glance at the hills
back OF the south fence of the prison, He
could scarcely believe his eyes when he
saw man running up the hill. At once he
sounded general alarm, which brought out
ali the officers and guards of the Institution.
An examination OF the prison premises
showed that a board had been run up
against the south fence.
When tho roll was called it was discoy-
cred that six prisoners serving sentences for
the following offenses were missing: Charles
White, robbery; Richard Cody, burglary
second degree; George Ward, robbery /;
George Wores, alias Clay, Carrying a con-
cealeu weapon; Ihomas Murphy, burglary;
Frank Regan, robbery. Preparations were
at once taken hastily for the capture of the
escapes.
During the afternoon Ed Toland, one of
the guards. captured Frank Reagan, and
from him il was learned how the break for
liberty had been effected, namely, that the
board was placed against the fence and that
the TRUSTEES had calculated on making their
escape in the fog.
Another of the esea pes, Wores, alias Clay,
was under the influence of liquor when he
appeared at the North Harbor Police Station

KILLING DEER.
Commissioner Joe ReddiHg Tries
to Be Funny.

A CALL reporter called on Fish and Game
Commissioner Joseph d. Reading yesterday
and called his attention to the statements in
THE CALL Of Tuesday that the law for
bidding the killing Of deer for the space of
two years was being violated in the neigh
bOrhnod of San Rafael aud In the border
counties Of the State.
Mr.. Reddng was inclined to be skeptical
about wholesale havoc being wrought among
the deer at San Rafael, unless it was, he
added with smile, among the dear at the
Hotel Rafael. But Mr.. Tunstead will re-
port at our next meeting" he went on, land
he will be able to say for certain"
/" AS to the tw0-year law being broken
along the borders of the State, that is prob
ably true. We have a territory of 10000
square miles to cover, an area as large as
France, and an appropriation of $4,000 to
do it upon. Only $500 of this, too is de-
voted 10 the preservation of game. The new
law, which prohibits the killing Of deer for
two years, was not intended to reach the
w0odsmen. All the deer they kill they use
for food. But it is the men who are pelt-
hunters, and who are rapidly killing off the
whole species, that the law is particularly
aimed at
I'm addition to the game preservation
work we have 266 miles around the bay to
cover. There are 700 miles of river that
have 10 be protected, and coast line as
long as from Maine to New York All Of
this work, as | said before, has to be paid
out Of our annual $4,000.
I'VE are hampered too by the laxity of
county district attorneys in the matter. Sew
eral of them are disposed to look over their
shoulders when il is only an infraction of
the game laws that is being committed.
'ln France, IN Germany and in Norway
to kill salmon out Of season Is felony.
The strictness Of the law is necessitated by
the obligation of preserving the food supply.
I'VE are doing the best we can with our
ten or so deputies, but the space we have to
. cover is too large. We have been carrying
out the work we set ourselves. Mr.. Rich
ardson has been travelling along the Truckee
River from its source TO its mouth ana in
sporting the ladders and noticing INSIDE
meanors in the shape of sawdust and other
refuse dumped into the river. He has sent
in his report, and we intend to put in a fresh
system of ladders.
MIR. Wilson returned on Tuesday from
trip up the Sacramento River | made a
trip this morning round the bay from Point
Pinole to California City. There is consid-
cradle illegal fishing going on among the
Chinese, and / obtained several photographs
of Illegal nets which they are using"

ACTOR FLORENCE'S GIFT.
Presented with Florida Alligator and an
Express Bill of Nearly $15.

NEW YORK, April About o'clock this
afternoon one of the wagons of the Adams
Express Company drove up to the main
entrance of the Fifth-avenue Hotel. The
driver entered the hotel and informed the
clerk that he had a package for BILLY"
Florence. Bring it in" said clerk Hoag-
land. And then the driver secured q small
hand-cart. and in few moments wooden
crate about twenty feet long was dumped
on the marble floor in the corridor of the
hotel. Hoagland left his place to inspect
the crate. and found that it contained an
alligator twenty feet long, weighing
go pounds. The reptile had been sent TO
Mr.. Florence by his friends and admirers in
Florida. AS there was an express bill of
Sl4.95 on it, Mr.. Hoagland refused to pay
it. and the crate was sent over to the office
of the Adams Express Company, opposite
the hotel When Hiram Hitchcock, one of
the Droprietors of the hotel, learned of the
present that had been received he wired
the actor at Chicago, where he is. as fol-
lows: Package with charges S14.95 re-
ceived to-day. Shall pay chargesW At a
late hour no reply had been received.

Pin Money in Thirty-Nine Tears.

WILMINGTON. Del. April lon Jan. %.
Mrs. Mary Sprague wers to q neigh boring

heart disease. and lied without saying q
word.
Her husband, John Sprague, an honest
and industrious shoemaker. had during
their thirty mine years of married life, given
her certain sum of money every week TO
keep the house going. and make whatever
other disposition of it she pleased. What
she did with the money was never ques-
toned by the cobbler.
HIS impression was that she had put it in
the bank, and after her death q search was
made for the bank book, but none was
found. Still be knew his wife had money,
so all the house was ransacked, and in an
old table they discovered s10.0O0in gold and
greenbacks

the United States by it's legation. But if
he announces that he is without authority
to reply and suggests q transmittal of the
Secretsry's communication TO Rome, IL may
be taken as an evidence that direct diplo-
matic relations between the two countries
are at an end.
A careful perusal of the Secretary's letter
seems TO warrant the assumption that from
the very beginning of the correspondence
and negotiations on the subject treated.
the Italian minister assumed an aggressive
attitude. The Secretary says that the Ba-
ron has more than once intimated this
purpose" Ito depart speedily. which clearly
demonstrates that the Minister had threat
ened to leave Washington early In the ne
gotiations, instead of pursuing the nego-
tiations in the cautious and diplomatic
manner that might be expected in case
where the facts were still officially un-
known to the United States government,
although 1T had taken all proper steps to
secure speedy report from it's own officers
in addition to any statements that might
come from the authorities of Louisiana.

IL Caused Sugar to Drop 2 Cents a Pound
Yesterday--125,O 600 Barrels at Chicago.
CHICAGO. April Cheap sugar in i'm
mense quantities was dumped on the mar
ket in Chicago to-day. The free-sugar
clause of the tariff went into effect at mid
night last night. and at once was begun
the work of removing the sugar which had
accumulated in the warehouses in bond
during the month of March. and getting ii
into the wholesale stores. 1t is estimated
that 125, 900 barrels have been released from
bond in this customs district since last
night. or One-eigEth of the entire amount
put on the market in the entire country
to-day. Havemeyer Sc Co., who represent
the American Sugar-reininQ Company In
this city. quoted Wholesale prices to-day
as follows: Cut-loaf: 54c per pound; gran
ulated, 4s4c; standard A, 4l2c The prices
for these grades yesterday were 707l2c,
64c and 6i2c, respectively. Mr.. VIM.
Havemeyer says he does not think that
prices will go lower for the reason that raw
sugars, which govern the price of refined,
are very low. and for the further reason
that the demand during the fruit season
will tend to cause an advance. at least at

BARON FAvA DEFENDED.
DIR. Verdi Comes to His Rescue and Strongly
Criticises Our Government.

r
Criticises Our Government.
WASHINGTON, April la reporter who
called this afternoon on Baron Fava found
him closeted with DR.. T. s. Verdi, of this
city, and inaccessible. Subsequently, DR..
Verdi, who was seen, said: 1.-The case is q
remarkably plain one. Italian men have
been murdered, and the Italian government
has vainly asked the United States for
reparation. This government has said.
We can do nothing; only the courts of
Louisiana may take action If this gov
eminent be powerless in such matter it is
most serious thing. Why were treaties
entered into with Italy and all other
European powers if the United States
cannot perform that which it promised
to do-to protect Italian citizens in this
country. Tt~,United States government
has said It it is powerless as
to its duties under the treaty; what
are any of its agreements with any nation
WORTH Will it satisfy the European
powers to say that this crime was COM
mitted in the State of Louisiana. and
therefore is without the province of the
general government Is Louisiana known
and recognized as nationf
Italy knows" continued the Doctor,
that these men who were murdered were
acquitted by jury of Americans. and, be-
lieving in the majesty of the law, it mat
tiers not that mob-the people. you say
reversed the verdict and executed men who
had been legally declared innocent Ii
matters not if these men who were killed
were most vicious and criminal. Your law
said they were not guilty and Italy is on
the right side when it endeavors to uphold
American law as against the action of q
mob"
Dr. Verdi declared with q good deal of
energy that Baron Fava's recall was not
due to dissatisfaction with the Baron per-
sonally. This action" said DR.. Verdi, lis
that of an insulted power. The Italian
government is standing OH it's dignity, and,
by recalling it's representative. but voices
the sentiment of thirty millions of people"
How much the late minister did to pre-
vent this clash DR.. Verdi said might never
be known, but the Doctor declared that lit
is q fact that for at least ten days he has
delayed doing that W hich he was compelled
to do yesterday. When he received his in
structions he at once made endeav0r to
have them rescinded. and not until he was
forced to do 30 did he sever the diplomatic
relations of the two Countries
DR.. Verdi closed the interview with the
following passionate statement: This talk
of war is empty foolishness The United
States will see it's duty and do it, but moth
ing can be expected from Louisiana. It has
