Italians Killed We're American
Citizens.

WASHINGTON, July 27. 1ss9.-The State
Department has received from Governor
Foster, of Louisiana, preliminary report
upon the killing of the five Italians at
Wfcksburg. The point of interest and inn
portance is the Governor statement that
he has been officially advised that three
of the men were naturalized American
citizens. The statement is directly the re-
verse of the advices that come to the
State Department through the italian
consular officer at New Orleans, who sent
agents into the country to secure infor-
nation on this point.
Gov. Foster records in his report an ear
nest disposition on the part of the Sher-
iff of Madison county. where the affair
occurred 10 bring the perpetrators Of
the killing to justice and to lay all of the
facts before the grand jury of the coun-
ty. That body is not at present in ses-
sion, so it canot undertake to look into
the case before the next term of court.
Meanwhile the sheriff himself promises
10 make a thorough inquiry and to he-
port all of the facts to the Governor
through the district attorney
All of the facts set out in the report of
Governor Foster have been communicated
to Count yinchi here. He will in turn

no REPEAL DINeLEy ACT
American Travellers Defense As
sociation Formed.

NFsW YORK, July q, 1Ss9.-The Aneri-
can Travellers Defense Association has
Just been organized with the view OF Sc
curing the repeal of the provision of the
Dingley bill which imposes duty on all
waring apparel and other personal ef-
feets over $500 in value purchased
abroad and brought to this country by
returning residents of the United States.
1t is proposed to form branch organiza-
tions throughout the country and to PEI
tition Congress at its next session for
the repeal of the measure referred to. The
association bases its opposition to the du-
tv on the ground that the enforcement OF
the provision produces only an insignin-
cant revenue and affords no real protec-
ton to any American industry; that II
caupses yexations and unnecessary de-
laws to travellers and that it discrirnl-
mates against residents OF the Onited
States and in favor Of foreigners. Tne

TAYLOR'S HOTEL TO GO.
Fine Office Building to Be
Erected by the New
York Purchasers.


1t won't be many weeks before Taylor's s
Hotel Will be a recollection, and on the
place where ii now stands will be erected
a handsome office building which will be
seen for miles around. Messrs. George
w. Young, James C. Young and r. A..
McCurdy of New York. and other in
nuential men, the purchasers of the
building, are now completing their plans
to that end It is not yet assured
whether there viii be a hotel in the new
building, although some of the syndicate
favor that idea
The plot on which the new building
will stand has 70 feet fronting on Ex-
change place. about $50 feet deep and 80
feet or thereabouts on York street. 1t is
not considered improbable that the North
Jersey Street Railway Company will pur-
chase a part of the plot for the enlarge
ment of their sned and give additional
track facilities. The necessity for more
space is growing more and more appar-
ent. The company cannot go further east
ward, and the only outlet IS the strip
along York street BY taking IS feet
from the plot there would still be ample
room to put fine building
Messrs. Young and McCurdyhave, it is
said, already selected a design from a
well known New York architect.

SHAMROCK WILL WIN

LONDON. July 27, 1Ss9.-The Yachting
World, issued today, contains long ar
ticle on the Shamrocks chances in the
contests for the Americas Cup. Starting
upon the assumption that the Vigiiant
and Brittania were equal. the writer
argues that the Shamrock showed herself
to be capable of beating the Britannia In
d moderate breeze Is to % minutes over
a thirty mile course. With time allowance
the Shamrocks net superiority would be
fifteen to twenty minutes. As the De-
lenders superiority over the Vigilant in
sailing the same course is estimated at
six minutes, and the Columbias s superior
ity over the Defender is assumed to be
three minutes, 1t is estimated that the
Colu7nbia's 5 superiority over the Vigilant

excellent grounds for the belief that In the

(By Cable to The Associated Press.

of speech at a Conservative luncheon
this afternoon Mr.. A. r. Balfour, First
Lord of the Treasury and Government
Leader in the House of Commons, in dis
cussing the TransvaaI situation said that
if the Governments endless patience and
endless desire to prevent matters coming
to a crisis. and If all the resources of
diplomacy were ineffectual to unite the
knot, other means must inevitably be
found to loosen it.

understood that the Transvaal was pre-

although quite inadequate according to
Great Britain's standard 1t was mani

Great Britain should permanently submit
to freeborn Englishmen being treated as

CLEVELAND MORE QUIET.
Indication That the Big Strike Is
Nearing the End

CLEVELAND. o., July e. 1s99.-There
was little change in the street car strike
situation this morning. As a result OF
the vigilance of the police and soldiers
patroling the streets last night the OBJ
structions found on the tracks Of the Big
Consolidated lines at daylight were very
few and far between. Much satisfaction
is expressed on all sides over the calling
for tonight to bring about, if possible. a
settlement of the strike.
President Billman of the latter body
will in all probability appoint the same
committee to act nj the matter which sue
ceeded in ending the street ear strike of
last month.
President Everett of the Big Consoli-
dated Company declines to state whether
or no he will again treat with such a
committee There is little doubt how
ever but that he and the directors of
the company will do so.
AT a melting of the motormen and con-
ductors of the Little Consolidated Com
panv it has been voted to form union
for the purpose OF giving moral and finan-
ciaI aid to the striking employees Of the
Big Consolidated system. The leaders of
the movement emphasize the statement
that there will be no strike.
Up to noon today there had been no
trouble of any kind reported. The off,
cials Of the Big Consolidated at that hour
announced that the regular number Of
cars were moving on all ines in the sys-
tenn with three exceptions. To a repre-
sentative of the Associated Press today,
Councilman M. w. Cope, who has been
largely instrumental in securing a spec
ial meeting of the council tonight to take
action in regard to the strike, stated that
an erroneous impression as to the object
sought had gone forth.
''The primary object said Mr.. Cope,
SIS to have committee appointed by
the Council to investigate as to which
side in the controversy has violated the
agreement made during the street car
strike of last month. This committee,
if 1t is appointed tonight, will doubtless
be given authority to summon witnesses
and commence an immediate investiga-
ton. Incidentally settlement Of the
strike may be secured through the good
offices of the committee.
Ralph w. Hawley, the non-union con-
ductor. who on Monday last shot and
killed Harry Cornzweit, was today bound
over to the Grand Jury without bail on
