est in the strained diplomatic relations
between this country and Italy, growing
out Of the New oslsans affair, was re.
viyed to q considerable degree late this
afternoon by dispatch, from Rome
stating that it was reported there that II
the United States Government did not

Mr.. Porter, the American Minister there,

whole Italian legation IN Washington
would be recalled and Italian interests
left in charge Of the British Minister.
No information could be- secured in Of.

port. The dispatch was shown 10 the
PRECEDENT and Secretary Blaine, and each
Of them returned word that he had
nothing to say on the subject. There

report in unofficial circles, but this

prepared an answer to the message Of
Rudini. The fact Of the preparation Of

In view Of these circumstances 1t is

that Rudini was apprisedo OF the fact. 1t
is suggested also, that limitations have

IxClTlEG TRIAL AT CHARLESTON.

Sim johnson, the calOred Brute who As
saulted Alice bailey, Before the Court.
Special Dt,pGteh 70 lts Inittii0eaer,
CHARLESTON, W. Va, April 10.-The
trial Of Sim johnson, the colored man
who was indicted yesterday for a Grim.
inRl assault committed on the person Of
Miss Alice Bailey, Of Davis Creek, was
begun to-day at about 2:s0 o'clock. The
court room in the City Building was 90
crowded that the floor was in danger Of
falling; people were packed in like
sheep. After calling the court to order
Judge Snyder had the room cleared OF
all boys and charged the jury. The
deputy sheriffs had difficulty in keeping
the crowd out, the hall and stairways
being lined with the struggling mass,
and even in the streets there was alArge
crowd gathered about the building.
When the prisoner was first brought
into the room he cried, but soon braced
himself up and sat silent, awaiting the
proceedings that mean 90 much to him.
Miss Bailey is pretty girl of not more
than fifteen years Of age, with light hair
and blue eyes. Her face is terribly
scratched and torn, and she presented q
pftifui appearance in the court room.
johnson Is small, spare colored man,
with small head and eyes and thick
lips. He does not look at all crazy,
though cunning enough.
The trial will probably not end until
tomorrow evening. The defense will be
that which Is always used as a last hope,
insanity. Excitement is still high, and
the jury will probably bring in q verdict
Of guilty without leaving their seata.
Public feeling Is entirely against the
brute, white and colored being for hang.
Ing. Ats O'Clock the court adjourned
until o @, m. tomorrow.

distillery cattle. An opposition syndi-
cate, composed Of Messrs. Gould, Of

come into the country and have pur'
chased 1900 head Of cattle and are on

these deals has been the crushing out
Of the small Canadian exporters and the
placing OF the trade in the hands Of o

they can get better prices from buyers
across the line, and are consequently
more willing TO do business With them
