Canoes Report.

Washington, March 15.--The Italian
government is acting with extreme
moderation and consideration over the
killing of five of it's citizens at Walsen-
burg. Notwithstanding the clamor of
the Italian press for the introducing
of energetic measures. there has been
nothing in the nature of protest
lodged with this government, nor de-
mand for indemnity and reparation.
The only communication received from
the Italian government. save the verbal
request from the Marquis Imperlali that
proper protection be afforded to the
other Italians at Walsenburg, came to-
day in the shape of a short and digni-
fled note from Baron Fava, the Italian
ambassador, inclosing to Secretary
Gresham copy of the report of DR.
Cuneo, the Italian consul at Denver.

and the names of the victims, all five

citizens.

A QUIET DAY AT NEW ORLEANS
Negroes at Work Loading Ships With
Troops on Every Wharf


New Orleans, March 15.-If the small
squads of soldiers leaning against cotton
bales or basking in the morning sunshine
on the top of freight piles had been miss
ing from the levee front this morning no
one would have known that New Orleans
was at the present time passing through
one of the greatest labor crises 1t ever
had to deal with. The scene along the
levee today is one of bustling activity.
Nearly every ship In port which came to
receive cargoes of cotton is now loaded.
1t Is not known that work Is at a stand
still on any vessel. Those ships which
are handled by stevedores employing col
ored labor, which fact brought about the
trouble last Tuesday, are being loaded as
fast as men and machines can stir the
cotton bales In their huge hulls. The
darkies have no fear now.
People went to bed last night with n
feeling of dread that before night had
passed something unusual would occur.
What they dreaded most was fire. Many
were under the impression that the strik-
ers would apply the torch. The rioters
remained away from the levee, and the
night passed off without an exciting Incl
dent.
Troops detailed on the upper levee
reached their destination at O'Clock.
AS soon as they reached the various
ships the negroes started in to work A
rev white screwmen hung around the
scene, but We're kept at a distance by the
presence of the troops. Governor Foster
this morning stated that he would keep
the military on the river until all signs
of danger had passed away. He did not
anticipate any more rioting.

KILLED SIX FOR ONE
Colorado Miners Wreak Venqe-
ance on Italian Assassins.
Four h asked Men Gained Ent france an d
Deliberately Filled Them Full
of Lead.

Denver, March ia special to the
Rocky Mountain News from Walsen-
burg, Colo, says:
Four dead bodies are now in the hands
of the coroner of Huerfano county as
result of vengeance wreaked last
night on the Italian miners, who were
charged with the killing of Abel Hixon
at Rouse last Sunday and two more
Italians have unquestionably been rid
died with bullets by the friends of the
popular saloonkeeper. A few hours will
most certainly bring the discovery of
the corpses and every man against
whom there was the slightest suspicion
of completely with the killing has met
with summary and frightful punish
ment. Though the mob commenced
work last evening, it was not until this
morning that they completed their work
OF revenge after having killed three of
the suspected homicides and brought
death to the young wagon driver, who
had nothing to do with the killing of
Hixon.
When the three Italians were cap
tured from the wagon at Bear creek
bridge where Wellesley was killed, a de-
termined mob waited for the excite
ment to subside and then came to the
county Jail here and at l o'clock this
morning compile ted the work of revenge.
Ronchetto. who had been wounded in
the breast at the Bear creek trouble,
was found asleep in the calaboose with
Lorenzo. The guards, William Smith
and Henry FHrr were playing high
hve' when a rap came at the outer
door of the Jail, They asked who was
there and We're told it was Sheriff
O'Malley. They unbarred the entrance
and instead OF seeing OAfalley they
looked down the barrels of two revolv-
ers. in the hands of two masked men.
Ihey were commanded to throw up
their hands. While the first two men
covered Farr and Smith with their pis-
tolls, another pair, with their faces hid
den by handkerchiefs, stalked in.
one OF the last arrivals picked up
from the table the keys to the cell in the
Jail and going back into the building
opened the door where lay the trembling
Italians. The masked men then turned
their pistols loose on the Italians, who
shrieked in agony as bullet after bullet
was sent tearing into their defenseless
bodies. When the vigilantes felt their
WORK was sure. they turned away, leav-
ing their victims writhing in blood.
When the last bullet had been fired that
was thought necessary to avenge one
death with six. the men walked out
from the Jail into the night.
Tonight everyone is confident tina
trouble Is over and that this peaceful
town Will resume the even tenor of its
way and be allowed to drop from the
enNlable newspaper notoriety which

QUARTER SECTION LAW
Secretary Smith has overruled the
commissioner Of the general land office
in decision affecting the selection of
lands to complete the grants of the
state of Idaho under the enabling act.
The commissioner held several selec-
lions for cancellation because the par
ticular tract selected was less than a
quarter section. the law providing that
selections for losses must be in tracts
of not less than a quarter section. The
secretary states that in the cases chosen
by the commissioner 1t appears that
there are other selections by the state
of adjoining tracts of less than one
quarter of section and he constructs
the law to mean that the state shall
make its selection in as compact a form
as possible and that it's lands shall not
be scattered about in 40 and S0-acre
tracts. When there are other selections
adjoining. making in all more than a
quarter section, the secretary holds that
they are valid.
