DUTIES PROCLAIMED.

Mckinley Act in Force Against Colombia,
Hayti and Venezuela.
WASHINGTON, March 15.-In accord
ance with the provisions of the reciproci-
ty section Of the tariff act of 1890, on
January 7th last, Secretary Blaine ad-
dressed notes to the representatives in
this city of Austria-Hungary, Colombia,
Hayti, Honduras, Mic aragua, Spain (for
the p Philippine Islands) and Venezuela,
informing them that unless some under
standing was reached as to commercial
arrangement before March 10Th, the
President would be compelled to issue
proclamation imposing the duties fixed
in the Mckinley act on sugar, molasses,
coffee and hides, the product of the coun-
tries named. A commercial arrange
ment with Nicaragua has already been
published and lis understood that a sim
liar arrangement has been agreed upon
with Honduras, and will be announced
within a few days. Austria-Hungary
has made a definite proposition and like
wise Spain respecting the Philippine
Islands, which gives promise of early
and satisfactory adjustment. This leaves
only Colombia, Hayti and Venezuela sub
ject to action under the tariff law. AS to
these countries the President today is
sued proclamation declaring the duties
set forth in section three in force as to

and the good old man often used to work
all night to finish his task in season;
then take his work in his wagon and
travel for several miles to oficiate at the
funeral. This is the first instance on
record of a clergyman acting as under

was found by the Everett police about
1890 o'clock last night, lying beside the
track of the Saugus Branch of the East
ern Division of the Boston s. Maine rail-
/ DAD. The man was unconscious when
found. A hasty examination showed
that he had been stabbed several times.
He was still alive, and the officers carried
him to the West street station, but no
signs of life could be discovered when
they reached that place.
DR.. Thomas Durrell, the medical in
spector, made an autopsy this afternoon.
There are cuts on the right hand and
arm, which was evidently raised in self
defence. The wounds were made by a
downward blow, probably by some one
fronting the deceased. DIR. Durrell re-
ported death as the result of three
wounds made with an instrument having
A Thin Narrow Blade,
The cuts were only about quarter of an
inch long, and were all on the right side.
One penetrated the lung, and another

Robbery was not the motive of the crime
apparently. though something of greater
value might have been taken from the
man and the watch and money left to
ward off suspicion.
Nearly every Italian has some knowl-
edge of the existence of the Malta socie-
ty, obtained either from hearsay or prac-
tical experience. A reporter saw man
this morning who, only a few months
ago, had been condemned to death by the
members of this society in Bos-
ton, and had had his throat cut.
He was rescued, however, by a police
man, and his assailant was arrested and
sent to the state prison.
1t is said that he was member of the
society. The reporter also talked with
another italian, not a member, who has
had
Several Attempts Made on His Life.
He is now never without weapon Of
some kind with which to defend himself
in case of an attack.
These men and others seemed to think
that the Italian supposed to have been
murdered in Everett might have been
victim of La Malta. A list of the sup
posed members Of this powerful organ
ization living in Boston was shown to
the reporter the publicatitn of which
would cause quite sensation. 1t is SO
secret an association that the fact Of its
existance would be very hard to prove,
however.
Fortunate Amante, an italian living at
the North End, was arrested tonight on
suspicion Of having caused the death of
Mastifano. There is no direct evidence
against the prisoner, except that he had
slight dispute with the dead man in
this city the night before.

lists.
PARIS, March 15.-Between and z
o'clock this morning a terrific explosion
occurred at the Lobau barracks, occu-
pied by the Republican Guard, adjoining
the Hotel de Vile. In moment q scene
of wild excitement prevailed. The bar
racks were occupied by 500 Guards, but
of course they were not all in the build
ing. There were, however, large num-
Der of men asleep in the barracks. Sud-
denly awakened by the tremendous roar
and shock that seemed to threaten the
demolition of the structure, the men
sprang for the doors and windows,
thinking that any moment the walls
would come topping down upon them.
The people who were in the streets at
that hour fastened to the scene, and the
streets in the vicinity were soon filled
with an excited crowd, the members of
which advanced all sorts OF theories to
account for the explosion. The police
at once began an examination and soon
learned that
Dyn amite Cartridges Had Been Placed
upon the ledge of a window of the mess
room, which is situated on the ground
floor Of the barracks. Pieces of the cop
per casing of the cartridges and bits of
fuse were found, and these explained
the methods the miscreants had en-
ployed to destroy the barracks, in which,
however, they fortunately failed By
the greatest good luck the Guards
escaped without injury, and the only
harm done was to the barracks and the
buildings in the vicinity. The material
damage done was greater. Hundreds of
windows were shattered, and the walls
of the barracks and other buildings
bear traces of the explosion. In tho
mess room was a large and very heavy
table. This was completely wrecked.
The side of the barracks on which the
explosion occurred presents the appear
ance of having been riddled with Shots
There is not single whole pane of glass
in the windows, and the window frames
Are Torn and Jagged.
Opposite the barracks stands the church
of st. Gervais. Many OF the windows in
tile church were ground to atoms by the
shock.
A Cabinet council was held this after
noon, at which President Carnot signed
bill introducing a clause in the penal
code, making the willful des.r.,ction of
property by means of explosives punish
able with death. This clause will be in
troduced in the Chamber of Deputies
this afternoon.
The frequency of Anarchist outrages
of late has caused general feeling of
CONSERVATION in Paris. It is be ueyed
that the Anarchists will gain courage
from their immunity from arrest, for the
police have not succeeded in detecting
the authors of any of the explosions, and
serious apprehensions are felt regarding
the action they may take on May day.
