GLADSTONE AND PARNELL.


The Liberal Leader Discusses the Irish
Question in His Speech ut Hastings.
LONDON, March 1S.-In his speech at
Hastings, Mr.. Gladstone said he found
little to blame in the recent foreign policy
of Lord Salisbury.
Turning to the Irish questions Mr..
Gladstone said that the present condition
of the Irish Parliamentary party was tn
result of long series of events. 1t
could not be disputed that the mem
bers of party were bound to sink indi-
vidual preferences, and defer to the &C
ton of the majority.
Before proceeding further he would
like to say n word about Mr.. Parneirs
speech, in which that gentleman had said
that he had opposed the claims of the la
Dor candidates in consequence of his obi
cation to the Liberal leaders. That state
ment was untrue. ION the contrary
said Mr.. Gladstone, 81 have been ever
ready to support the claims of labor can
didates."
After a slight allusion to the divorce
court proceedings, Mr.. Gladstone said the
Liberals were ready to face defeat to the
full extent, if necessary, rather than Gre
ate a constitutional leadership in Ireland
under such guidance as that of Parnell.

VuEMNEssY AND THE siAFIA.
The Rate Chiefs secreA~ry Tells About the
Assassination.

New ORLEANS, March 1S-Since the
killing of the Italians many stories have
been given circulation regarding the ex-
periences that Chief David Hennessy had
had with the Malta during the last year
of his life.
1t is related that the late chief had told
several friends a short time previous to
his death that several Malta assassina-
tions were based upon the suspicion that
the victims had given him information.
He instanced the opposite case, in which
he took an active part, and it is believed
by many that the Italians who gave Hen
messy the information that led to EspO-
sito's arrest were the prime movers in
the conspiracy to bring about the chiefs
death, realizing that he had them in his
power.
Mr. George w. Vandervoort, Hennessy's
private secretary, makes a statement of
the capture of the notorious bandit, Es-
posito. A large reward had been offered
for his arrest and Hennessy took charge
of the case. One day he met opposite
face to face on the street and placed him
under arrest. EXtradition papers were
obtained, and Hennessy struggled the
bandit on board of a ship bound for New
York. On the day that the ship sailed
the levee was crowded with Italians and
the chiefs life was feared to be in danger,
but he walked boldly into the crowd and
was not molested. The Malta made SIREN
uous efforts to prevent the extradition of
opposite, but he was taken to Italy.
''Chief Hennessy," said the secretary,
"was repeatedly warned that his life was
in danger, but, being a man utterly with
out fear, paid no heed to the warnings"
Mr.. Vandervoort, in reply to a question as
to whether Hennessy had any apprehen-
sion regarding Detective O'Malley, said:
Eyes. 1t was but a short rhine before
Hennessy was stricken down that he told
me if he was ever to be killed that O'Mal-
ley would have hand in the job.''

MORE MALTA WARNINGS.

Death Notice.

The Mayor OF New orleans Receives u
Death Notice.
New ORLEANS, March 1S-Judge Mari
is determined that there shall be thor
ough and rigid investigation of last Sat
urday's affair.
In his charge to the grand jury the
Judge deplores the tragedy and declares
that a matter of such gravity cannot be
ignored by the courts.
The city remains very quiet. The Malta
warning received by Mr.. w. S. Parkerson
does not make him feel uneasy, although
there may be some foundation for it. He
knows that if hair of his head was
touched it would result in n terrible pun
ishment of the Italians and Sicilians.
The result of the events of Saturday is
that the Provenzanos and the
Matrangas are accusing each other of
being members of the Malta and
come known. That the Matrangas are
there seems to be no doubt, but in the
Hennessy case there was not sufficient evil
dence to implicate Charles Matranga.
The grand jury is investigating the
charges of bribery of jurors in the Hen
messy case and it is understood they have
some important clues.
Mayor Shakespeare has received a let
ter purporting to come from 5000
Italians, notifying him that Parkerson,
Wickliffe and himself must die at the
hands of the aforesaid committee. In
conclusion the letter states that the chief
assassins are not yet caught. Chief Of

Recent Investigations in Indian pris-

allow a heavy lead bullet to slide down
the throat and keep it in position for half

pouch is formed, into which anything
small may be thrust, without interior

there are in Calcutta Jail twenty pris-

ROME, March 1S-Count Heirschel, of
the Italian Embassy, when asked in re-
gard to the reports that the American
residents of Italy were in danger, replied:
cit is absurd. Italy is a civilized coun-

not massacres. AS civilized nation
Italy would not permit any outrage that
could by any eXertion of authority be
prevented. The Americans in Rome need
have no dread of reprisals. Italy has de-
