Death by a Notorious Outlaw
Trunk Mystery in New Orleans
Unraveled by Dream-Exctte-
ment in the Italian Colony.

New Orleans, Jan. 3o.-Chief of Police
Gasten telegraphed today TO the police
authorities of New York city TO arrest
Vincenzo AZarello, alias Paulo Latino
and Salvatore Piazza, alias Giuseppe
Garino, alias ]. Raj, who are aboard
the steamship Creole, and hold them
for the murder OF Rosario Cusimano
in this city. CuSimano was the victim
of the trunk murder of last week. He
was Sioilian and the possessor of a
considerable sum of money. Azarello
is his godfather and it seems a des-
perate and dangerous criminal He
was q brigand1in Sicily. and robbed
travellers for a living and murdered
several persons. The Italian police au-
thorities made it too hot for him, and
he came to America, and finally to
New Orleans, settling IN the Italian
quarter of the city, known as Little
Sicily, near the famous Vendetta AL
ley. He persuaded his godson, Cusi-
mano, who worked on a sugar plantd-
ton, to visit him, and killed the young
man for his money. The two men then
packed the body In trunk and dump
ed it in the Broad street canal where
it was found The police have been
since the murder was committed on
January IS, and have struck several
false clewS.
Strange to say, the true story of the
murder was revealed 10y dream. Roc
co Cusimano brother of the murdered
man, dreamed that Rosario had been
murdered, and came to New Orleans
from Sarpy, to examine the corpse of
an Italian which had been lying in the
haf-a fn1
which no one could identify. although
thousands of Italians had viewed 1t. He
identified it at once as that of his
brother, Rosario, and was able to tell
enough of the story to cast suspicion
on the murderer, Azarello.
The police started at once to find
AZarello but found that he had 1tad
from the city and decided that he sailed
for New York ander the name of Rosa
rio Cusimano, taking the name Of the
man whom he murdered Full particu-
lars have been sent to the police au-
thorities at New York.

murder, and yesterday in a fit of

been preyeti upon by men like Azarello.
Ihey were very much afraid of him
and say that he killed nine men in
Sicily and came to New Orleans only a
short while ago. Since then he has
frightened many Italian residents into
paying him blackmail. They say that
the bad name given the Italians by
many persons in New Orleans is due
to a few ex-brigands like Azareifo, who
make their home here and prey upon

English attitude on the American
Spanish crisis is influenced by two
most selfish motives. First. she jeal-
ously breads a conflict which might
exhibit the republic as a strong rival
naval power, and which would call
forth at this juncture the great po-
tential military strength of the United
States. Secondly, she wishes by means
of a cheap and insincere expression of
sympathy with the United States in
the quarrel with Spain to obtain in re-
turn the invaluable prestige of Amer
ica's sympathy in a possible struggle
with Russia in China. To this end
men or newspapers ordinarily most
anti-American as over the Venezuelan
difficulty, are now trying to impress
France and Russia, Americas tried
friends in the past. with the idea that
an alliance between England and
America is possible of attainment.
Such an alliance. if formed while Eng
land is distrusted in her motives and
policy by every other civilized nation,
would destroy the moral influence

gressive and non grabbing power

.POWDERLY AND THE PLUM
The Traitor to Labor Finally
Confirmed by the Senate.
HANNA SAYS HE'S O. K.
OF Course That Settles It-Stewart Reads
a Letter Written by Powderly in
1899, Which Reveals His
Base Treachery.

Washington, March 16.-T. V. Pow
derby was confirmed by the senate in
executive session to-day by the vote OF
AZ to 90 Senator Chandler was the only
republican who cast his vote against
confirmation. while a large number of
democrats voted for Mr.. Powderly. The
vote was preceded by a rather sharp de-
bate. in which the question whether
Pewderly had made trade with the re-
publicans in the last campaign was dis
cussed quite freely. Senators Teller and
Stewart attacked Mr.. Powderly's record
on the financial question, and Senator
Stewart read a letter from Mr.. Powder
ly, written during the campaign of 1892,
in which he had declared his adherence
to the cause of bimetallism and de-
nounced those of the labor element who
had aligned themselves on the repub-
lican side as rendering themselves liable
to the charge of being made the subject
of bribery. Mr.. Stewart contended that
Mr. Powderly had placed himself in ex-
actly the category in which he had pre-
viously sought to place others by his
course in the campaign of 1885,
Senator Hanna made a brief speech,
in which he asserted that Mr.. Powder
ly's support of the republican ticket in
the late campaign was not the result of
any collision or bargain. Mr.. Powder
ly, he said, came to us of his own
accord and without any solicitation on
our part. We did not go after him and
we did not promise anything" Further
more, Mr.. Hanna said that he was not
originally a supporter of Powderly for
the position of commissioner of immi-
grafton, having another candidate for
the office. This fact ought to be suf-
ficient evidence, Mr.. Hanna thought, to
convince the most skeptieal that there
had been no bargain that Powderly
should have the office as the result of
his services in the campaign.
Mr.. Chandler made another speech in
opposition, reading protests from labor
organizat.o tons and declaring that the re-
publican party could not afford to APP
point to so important an Office a man
so distasteful to the labor elements.
Mr. Fairbanks closed the debate in
Powderly's behalf, defending his record
in the office and his character as man.
He said that Mr.. Powderly had demon
strated by several months of service his
fines sfor the office. He asserted that
the only charges made against him were
Of a political nature, and contended that
these were not of a character to in any
way reflect upon him or to justify oppo-
sition to his confirmation.

At the opening of the bout. which was
to have been six rounds, Maher object

his right wrist, but this was quickly
settled by the Australian removing

THE BITTER ROOT PETITION.
It's a Strong One, and the Land Commits
sioners May Act Fayorabiy.

Special Dispatch to the Standard
Helena, March 16.-The residents of
the Bitter Root valley have taken up
the matter of the reclamation of GER
tain state lands in that section and urge
by petition that they be decided back to
the government so that the state arid
land grant commission can construct
ditch and irrigate them. They have
sent to the governor petition TO be
presented to the state board OF land
commissioners. asking the board toquit-
claim the land 10 the government in
accordance with the opinion recently
rendered by Attorney General Nolan.
The petition is about the longest in
point of number of names attached
that has been received by Governor
Smith since he became governor. II
reads:
we. the undersigned. residents of
the Bitter Root valley, hereby petition
your honorable body to reconsider your
action heretofore taken refusing to
quit-claim and relinquish to the general
government such land as your board
has selected and filed upon as school
lands in said valley. lying north of
township north, ranges 10 and 20 west,
and ask that you quit-claim and relin-
quish the same to the United States.
Your petitioners respectfully represent
that by relinquishing to the general
government the lands so selected by
you that the state arid land commits
sion will be justified in proceeding to
reclaim the same and other adjoining
lands in the Bitter Root valley, and un
less the lands as selected by you be re-
lnqulshed and reclaimed by the state
arid land grant commission the area of
public lands susceptible of reclamation
is insufficient to justify the cost of
reclamation
The names of very many of the best
known residents of the valley are at
tached and it will be rather difficult for
the board to deny the request now that
it has been advised by the attorney
general that there is no techncality in
the way.

Special DISPATCH TO the Standard
Helena, March 16.--Sheriff Davidson re-
eeived letter to-day from resident of
Basin of the name of II. Granlick in re-
gard to the Standard dispatch announcing
the receipt of message by the sheriff
from Chief of Police Gall of Stockton,
Cal. asking If a man Ean,el Burke CT
Burns was wanted here for murder. Mr..
Granlick wrote that as soon as he saw
the dispatch in the Standard he concluded
that the man is no other than the ahrake-
man who killed Engineer Young In a, sa
loon in Butte. near the Montana Central
depot, in December. 1894, and escaped. He
said he had worked with both the brake
man and Young and felt pretty certain
that the murderer would be eventually
caught. The sheriff does not place much
reliance in the theory, although he has
notified the Butte authorities and advised
the Stockton chief of police to look up
the descriptions Of the slayer of Young
that We're sent out by the Butte police at
the time. The man who killed Young was
William Barnes, while the suspect ap-
pears to be named Burns Burke.
