GOV. FOSTERS REPORT

On the Lynchiny of Three siciifans Con-
fined In the Parish Jail mt I1ahnviilc,
La.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s-The report
of Gov. Foster of Louisiana upon the
lynching of three Sicilians charged
with murder and confined in the par
ish Jail at Hahnville. st. Charles par
ish. just below New Orleans, in re-
spect to which Baron Fava, the Italian
ambassador, in the name of his gov
ernment, has asked reparation from
the United States, has just been re-
ceived at the state department.
The governor makes the customary
reply in such cases, that the perpetra-
tors of the deed are unknown to the
authorities, who are taking all possi-
BILE steps in the matter. This reply
was communicated to Baron Fava,
with an expression of regret ON the
part of the United States governments
that subjects. of the king OF Italy
should have been dealt with in this
lawless manner. This apology will
probably be followed by an offer of
pecuniary compensation. as in the case
of the alleged nafia murderers. shot
down in the parish prison of New Or
leans some years ago. and the killing
ing of three Italian miners at Ws;sen-
berg, Col, in 1895. But this action will
probably have to be awaited, as the
annual appropriation Ito meet unfor-
seen emergencies in the diploDatic
service" out of which Mr.. Blaine set
tied for the malta incident, is very
nearly exhausted.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 2s.-Mrs. George w.
Hibbard, known professionally as Vic
toria Lac Roy, fell from her balloon
yesterday near Clayton ST. Louis coun-
ty, a distance of 2, 500 feet.
During each day of the county fair.
near Clayton, this week she has made
successful ascensions. At five o'clock
last evening she had assembled about
sixty feet when her paracaate became
detached and fell to the ground. The
balloon shot mp rapidly. The woman
in an effort to catch the parachute, had
partly fallen and was hanging with
one arm hooked over the trapezo bar.
When the balloon was almost lost in
the clouds dark speck was seen
10 drop from it and the 5000 specta-
tors groaned in unison.
The frantic husband rushed into his
tent and seized a pistol. As he pulled
the trigger with the weapon pointed
at his heart his arm was seized and his
life was saved. The woman fell one
mile north of the fair grounds. first
striking tree. Fragments of the
body were left in the tree.

variously Commented Upon ~ the Differ
ent Political Headquarters.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 2s-The repub-
ican, populist, democratic and silver
headquarters here were all running
yesterday under full head of steam.
at republican headquarters Chair.
man Babcock spoke of Maj. McKin-
ley's letter of acceptance as the clear.
est presentation of the pending issues
that had been made by any public
men since the Inauguration Of the
present campaign. He Thought it
stamped Mckinley as the leading
statesman of the day and assured his
election beyond any reasonable doubt.
Congressman Richardson, of Ten
nessee, in charge of democratic head
quarters, severely criticized the letter,
especially that portion of it rejecting
on the present administration.
Mr.. r. E. Diffenderfer, secretary of
the national silver committee, com.
mented upon McKinley's prediction
that free coinage would produce dis
aster, and his assertion that protec-
tion had produced prosperity. He
said that during the administration
of Mr.. Harrison the country had
a higher tariff than any known
in its history, and yet prices fell and
continued to fall, notwithstanding the
high tariff, known as the Mckinley
bill. After the passage of the Bland-
Allison act, he said, the stock of gold
in America increased three-fold; that
upon the repeal of the Sherman law
the gold withdrawn was several times
greater than ut any time in the his
tory of the United States before tho
repeal of the Sherman law.

AMERICAS DEMAND

Against Turkey for Cole res Destroyed by
Mobs to be Enforced without Delay

rus as . Preliminary Step, II Necessary to

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2H-It is inn
possible to learn at the state or navy
department to-day whether any assur-
ances have been received from Turkey
that Minister Terrell will be per-
mitted to have the naval support of a
ship flying the Stars and Stripes near
his legation. It appears, however,
that the administration has contem-
plated. for some time the dispatch of
the Bancroft to Constantinopie, as
shown by letter addressed by Nav
royeni Bey, the Turkish minister, to
Secretary Olney, last January, in
which Mavroyeni says:
His excenency, Tewfik Pasha, has
just informed me the sublime porte
regrets that it cannot comply with Mr..
Terrell's request for. permission for
the Bancroft to pass through the
strait. that vessel having been author
lied to remain at the disposal of the
United States legation at Constanti-
nople.
Your excellency knows perfectly
well the earnest and sincere desire of
the imperial government to do all in
its power to strengthen, if possible.
the ties of friendship which unite the
two countries, but in this case GER
tain fact is involved, to-wit: That
only the signatory powers of the
treaty of Paris enjoy the right to have
vessels of war permanently at Con-
stantinople at the orders OF their re-
States government does not appear in
the number of signators of that
treaty. am, consequently, sure that
your excellency will be pleased to take
the foregoing into consideration"
If any reply was made to this letter.
or if any correspondence followed or
preceded it, that correspondence il
not obtainablc.
1t is believed in naval circles here
that the preliminary orders sending
the Bancroft to Constantinople consti-
tute the first step in the administra-
tion programme to compel Turkey to
respect the peremptory demand for
full and immediate satisfaction
for 100000 indemnity made last
Novemb Der for the destruction of the
American college and other property
at Harpoot, and a similar demand for
the burning of the college at Maras h.
1t is believed this will be enforced be-
fore the close of the present year, even
if it be necessary to detach all tn c bat
tieships and big cruisers from Admiral
Bunce's fleet for the purpose.

CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-James s. Clark
son, of Iowa, was heard from yester-
day at repu ublican headquarters for the

He has been recovering his health at
Spring Lake, N. j., and from that
place wrote to headquarters as fol-
lows:
"The danger lies in the Mississippi
valley, and the fusion of the opposing
elements. Everything east of the Ohio
is solid. The battle-ground is between
the Ohio river and the Missouri, and
the danger is with the bimetallists,
who were ut first afraid that
the declaration at st. Louis was
a permanent departure toward single
gold monometallism. With the free
silver people beyond the Missouri
there is little or no hope, but with the
bimetallists of the Mississippi valley
there is everything to hope for and to
work for. / see no reason why we
should not win, and win triumphant
ly. My health is recovering rapidly.
1 expect to go to Iowa for a couple OF
weeks in October to do whatever l can
to help in my own state. lam certain
it is all right, but some of the timid
ones are are anxious about it, and l
shall go and do my duty. I am anx-
ious to have Iowa make as proud
record in support of the party in this
crisis as any state in the Union"
