WILL RECOMMEND
Payment of Indemnity to Families of
 Murdered Italians

Washington, October 13.-The President will recommend to Congress the payment of an indemnity to the families of the four Italians who were the victims of mob al Talluah, La, about two years ago. A report from special agent of the Depart ment of Justice clearly establishes the fact that the men were killed by the mob and that none of the perpetrators of the crime were ever punished by the state authori- ties, notwithstanding the representations of the Italian government. The Governor of the State of Louisiana caused an inves- tigation to be made and there were some proceedings before a grand jury but the result was that the national government found itself bound to make some sort of reparation in answer to the Italian gov ernments representations, and this will take the form of indemnity for each of the persons killed who were Italian cti- zens at the time of their death

 Kansas will go for Bryan by about the same majority it gave him In 1896. The Re- publicans making a hard fight for that State, hut they will fail. This is a Popu- listic year in Kansas
 Kentucky and Maryland are practically sure for Bryan.
 "In South Dakota our forces are splendid ly organized and are making the best fight ever made in the State. They are confident of the result.
 "In ashington we will win with nearly the plurality as in 1896 The conditions which prevail in the other coast States do not particularly affect Washington.
 "In West Virginia we are making gains constantly. While Mckinley carried that State by over Il, 600 in 1896, the Republican Congressional candidate only had about 5200 in 1898. The same conditions which will give us Kentucky and Maryland will also land West Virginia for the reform candi- date"
