ROME, March 14.-It is semi-officiaIly
announced that dispatch from Wash
ington has been received by the Govern
ment saying that on the receipt of yester-
days first news of the killing of several
Italians in Colorado the Italian Embas-
sador addressed note to the Federal Gov.
eminent on the matter, and also tele-
graphed the italian Consul at Denver for
information. The Federal Government. in
response to the inquiry of the ambassador.
said that it was not in possession of the
facts in regard to the murders; but the
Consul telegraphed to the ambassador
confirming report that six Italians had
been killed in consequence of the murder
of saloon-keeper. AS it was unknown
whether the murdered Italians were
naturalized Americans, the ambassador
charged the Consul to inquire into the
matter of their citizenship. Meanwhile,
the Governor of Colorado telegraphed the
ambassador that he had sent troops to
protect the Italians near the scene of the
trouble.
The dispatch received here added that
the United States authorities displayed a
most conciliatory disposition, and, in pur-
suance of the ambassadors request, ex-
pressed their intention of obtaining an
exact account of the incident and the
causes of it, and to take whatever meas
ures were required.

SHE BEATS THE BRITANNIA.

The times at the finish were: Ailsa, 9

corrected time.
After the Ailsa crossed the line she
waited for the Britannia, and when the
latter had finished the Prince of Wales
cutter was sailed very close to the Ailsa
and the Prince of Wales raised his
yachting-cap in the air and led the hearty
cheers for the boat which had given his
boat the most severe beating she ever had.
Those on board the Ailsa returned the
cheers, and the victorious cutter then pro-
ceeded to the quay, where she was well
coined by a large crowd of people.
1t was reported after the race that Ogden
Goelet won $25, 900 from Baron Hirsch on
the Ailsas victory.
Alter the race the representatives of the
Associated Press interviewed several
prominent yachtsmen. All the members
of the Royal Yacht squadron agreed that
the Ailsa was wonderful boat and that
she was superior in all points to the
Britannia.
They were of the opinion that Mr..
Herreshoff would undoubtedly improve on
the Vigilant, but that he would have a
difficult task to surpass the Ailsa. The
British yachtsmen said they were aston
ished that the Vigilant would not take
part in the Clyde races previous to her re-
turn to the United States, as that would
give the Americans truest comparison
with the Ailsa's form.

THEY DRAW TIE COLOR Line
GEORGIA LADIES WITHDRAW FROM
THE FEDERATION OF.
PRESS CLUBS.
THEY OBJECT TO AssoCIATING
WITH NEGRO WOMEN AS
EQUALS.

ATLANTA, Ga, March 14.-The Georgia
Women's Press Club will withdraw its
membership from the General Federation
of Women's Clubs. for the reason that the
federation has just admitted into its men,
bership three clubs made up of negro
women. This was decided by the govern
ing board of the club, which held meet
ing yesterday afternoon at the Capital Fee
male College. The board was composed of
Miss Beck, president, Miss Corrine Stocker,
Miss Ellen Dortch, Miss Rosa Woodbury.,
Mrs. William King, Miss A. P. Penn and
Mrs. Bascom Maybrick.
The club when it was organized was
asked to join this federation, which it did.
1t was one of the first of the Southern
women's clubs to take this action, and it
will the first to withdraw from it. The
withdrawal was caused by the admission
within the last few weeks of three negro
press clubs from the States of Indiana and
Illinois
Miss Beck opened up correspondence
with the officers of the federation. She
maintains that the members of the Georgia
Wome ms Press Club were not ready yet to
belong to a club that admitted negroes as
their social equals. The Northern women
maintained that it was not admitting them
as social equals, but only as fellow-work-
ers. spirited correspondence has fol-
lowed between the sections, the Southern
women claiming that while they were glad
to see the negroes advancing they could
not afford to associate with them and ad-
nit them as equals in the same clubs.

WEAKENING IN PIG IRON.
An Uncomfortable Feeling Spreadin,
Deer the Market

Deer the Market.
NEW YORK, March 1.-THE Iron Age
to-day will say: An uncomfortable feel
ing is spreading over the weak market
for Bessemer pig iron in the Central West.
Heavy purchases of recent date have not
had lasting effect. 1t appears that a
number of consumers are not taking their
iron as fast as it was contracted for.
Steel is dull and is easier, although it is
somewhat difficult to locate prices ex-
actly. The only transaction of magnitude
reported is the sale by Western Pennsyl-
wanna works to an Eastern Pennsylvania
place mill of 5000 tons of slabs at S17, deliv-
cred. The steel-rail trade is somewhat agi-
tated over an order of 10000 tons and
upward from the Pacific Coast, the new
road from San Francisco south being in
the market. The interest grows chiefly
out OF the fact that there will be sharp
struggle between the American and Eng
llsh mills, the latter having a very de-
cided advantage in freights.
Aside from few moderate orders for
plates taken by Pittsburg and the initial
Boston rapid transit order taken by Har-
risburg, only small tonnage has been
placed in finished iron and steel. To the
impatient minds the long promised rush
! OF work is coming out only too slowly. A

WALsENBURG AND ROUSE
DeniZenS of Those Hard Lo-
CalitieS Keep a Close
Mouth.
BOB FORD ONCE RULED THERE.
Consul Cuneo Recognizes the
Friendliness of This Country
for His Government

PUEBLO, Colo, March IA warm
wind at Walsenburg this morning melted
the snow OF yesterday very rapidly and
dried the earth, so that this afternoon
searching parties set out again to hunt for
the bodies of the two Italians killed by the
mob Tuesday night, but no trace has as yet
been found.
Quiet has reigned all day, but the ex-
IRENE close-mouthedness that has charac-
terized everybody in Walsenburg and
Rouse since the mob did its fatal work
still continues. There is no doubt but that
a very considerable number of people
know thoroughly well who did the killing,
but they know too well.
Walsenburg has for years been a rather
hard town, with an element that occasion
ally shows it's teeth and uses its guns.
These men are of more or less prominence
or notoriety, and as it is believed that they
did the work no one dares to say so or
acknowledge any cognizance of the partici-
pants for fear of being himself used as a
target.
The notorious Bob Ford, slayer of Jesse
James, ran dancehall-and the town of
Walsenburg-for several years. Six of his
pals from that place are now in the State
penitentiary for various crimes, but others
are still on hand.
Walsenburg is hamlet of but 1000
people with coal mines and miners at her
doors on every side, and the turbulent
| element is therefore large, and especially
since the strike of last summer after which
many miners who were steady men and
had accumulated some property moved
away.
DENVER, Colo, March 14-Dr. Cuneo,
Italian Consul, started for Walsenburg to-
night in compliance with instructions from
Baron Fava, italian ambassador. Mr..
Ounce received the following telegram:
WALsENBURG, Colo, March 10.
Italian Consul, Denuer Colo: The Italians of
this county anxiously desire help from you,
Come to those unfortunate men. Five killed.

The following answer was sent at noon
to-day:

faithful father. Courage. l am ready to come

danger. Troops are prepared to come in case
of emergency. CUNEo.

WALSENBURG, Colo, March 14.-No
arrests have been made in consequence of
the lynching of the murderers of A. J.
Hixon. The bodies of two missing Italians
were not found. Opinion is divided as to
whether they escaped or were killed. Citi-
zens generally censure the shooting of the
prisoners, especially the wounded man.
who gave himself up. 1t is not known
whether any of the Italians who were
lynched were American citizens. The
Italians here do not talk of retaliation
though the feeling among them is intense.

the depressed condition of the sugar in

for this they must raise the excise duties

strict the output with the view of prevent
