IrALY's DISQUALIFICATION.
One London Paper That Sees Fit to Do
Us Justice.


LONDON, April 16-The Daily Ne,os, in
addition TO declaring that no sane being
can doubt that the offer Of indemnity Tor
the New Orleans lynching, made by the
United States to Italy. was dictated solely
by a sense Of right, says that the dignified
observations Of the New York Herald,
Tribune and Times might profitablV be
studied by some organs Of opinion on this
side Of the ocean. Tho NeUS pays tribute
to the statesmanlike attitude Of Secretary
Blaine, who, IL says, voluntarily offered to
make compensation TO Italy.
The GLObe says the heirs Of the men
lynched are very lucky. According to nou-
diplomatic view it is not TO be assumed that
Secretary Blaine intends to establish a
precedent holding the federal government
answerabls for the deliots Of every separate
state. That would be carrying the federal
principle degree further than was ever
thought Of, even when the civil war was
not considered too high price to epay for

NEW YORK, April 16.-A good deal of
comment was caused to-day by statement
authorized by H. c. Fshnestock and Fred
II. Tappen, two members of the Richmond
and West Point reorganization committee,
In which it is stated that the committee has
not had q meeting in two weeks, and that
the wording of the advertisement of the
committee is wrong In regard to the deposits
Of underlying securities. The advertise
ment says underlying securities to
a large amount have been deposited under
the plan Of reorganization" They say they
have Investigated the matter and find that
the total deposits Of bonds Of the East Ten
nessee, Richmond and Danville and Vir-
giuia Midland roads amount to only S913-,

and Tappen is.looked on as positive indi-
cation that the proposed plan is failure
and new plan Is expected to be put out by

FIGHTING IN VENEZUELA.
The Government Troops Win After G
Hard Struggle.

NEW York April 16.-The steamer
Philadelphia from Venezuela ports
brings particulars of a battle be-
tween the government forces and
be rebels at Trujili on March 90, in which
the government forces had the best of it.
IruJlh is 400 kilometres from Caracas.
About l50 were killed on both sides and
many more wounded. A majority of the
casualties were on the side OF the rebels
The latter were commanded by Gen. Aranjo
and the government forces by Gen. Cipriavo
Costre. 1t was hard fight and at first
went against the government troops.
Superior discipline and armament prevailed
in the end.
CAUSE OF THE REVOLT.
Affairs in Venezuela at present are in a
state bordering on anarchy, there being no
constitutional government. The term of
President Palacio expired on Feb. 20 and
there has been no election for a new presi-
dent. President Palacio retains his posi-
tlon as head OF the government illegally and
by force. The term of the President OF
Venezuela was formerly two years and no
president, under the law, could sue
ceed himself. President Palacio, desir-
ing to hold on to his power, in
duced congress to extend the term to
four years and eligibility to succeed him
self. This was done. but was not to take
effect until after President Palacio's term.
the latter clause thwarted President
Palacio's ambition and then followed a
quarrel between the would-be dictator and
the congress. the court of appeals and the
supreme court. In the meantime President
Palacio'S term as president expired in
February and no election has been held or
can be held in the present condition.

on this question. The vote stood AZ

Professor Charles ". West, professor
of the Brooklyn Heights acadamy. q
lifelong friend of Miss Fancher, told me
Yesterday that she WAS SUIT fering from
dropsy i'm addition to her other afiiIc-
tions, and her condition was very serI-
ous.
Miss Fanchcr was o pupil at Profes-
sor Vests school, where she showed re-
markabie ahl.ty. Shortly after she
left school the mysterious condition
which has puzz'ed everybody overcame
her. She was IN rigid state Tor nine
years, and then she relapsed into a
limp state, which continues now. Her
aflliction began twenty-five years ago.
when she fell from horse. Not long
afterward, when she was getting OH a
horse car. her dress caught and she
was dragged along the street for nearly
block. Her nervous system was
compile teiy shattered.
Sne has lain on her right side for
twenty-five years, never moving, and
taking no other nouriehment than could
be furnished IN liquid form and main-
ly that of the juice of the peach, part Of
an orange OF perhaps pickle. During
the nine years she lay IN = rigid state,
her right arm was thrown up under her
head and both hands were firmly
clinched.
During this time and since. Miss Fan
cher has been possessed of second sight
or ciairvoyance. OF this Professor West
says ne has very obtsinable proof. Miss
Fancher has always refused every sug-
gestion of development of her power,
and has refused TO use it for personal
gain. Miss Fancher lies in An upper
room of her residence and conducts q
store on the first floor. She has q per-
feet knowledge OF her business and
makes up her own accounts each night.
She. writes beautifully with her left
hand and more rapidly than most
persons and more leGib!y.
Professor West has tried to induce
Miss Fancher to write hook of her ex-
periences or TO dictate one, but she has
refused.
