MURDERoUs ASSAULT.
Italians in Derby Engage in Desperate

Italians in Derby Engage in Desperate
 Affray-One Horribly Cut.
 Derby, July 23.-A vicious assault which may turn into murder was committed in the Italian colony last night upon Joseph Carbone by two bro- thers, Francisco and Antonio Marco. The affair grew out of quarrel which was of romantic origin. A year ago Carbone was engaged to girl who was later competed by her mother to marry Francisco Carbone The marriage caus- ed hard feeling between the men and yesterday Carbone heard, it is said, that the Marco brothers were making sighting remarks about him. He went to the street where they live shortly af- ter nightfall to demand an explana- ton, and was talking with the Marcos and number of others when the as- sault was committed. Bystanders say that the brothers got behind Carbone and that one seized his arms while the other did the cutting. When it was over, Carbone had five knife wounds in his face and two wounds in hls head, which look like bullet holes. ~.e says that he was shot at four times. Carbone is in a critical condition and may not live through the night.

PRESENTED TO THE KING.
Much Gossip Created Among Ameri-
 can and English Society.


 London, July 23.-Much gossip in American and English society has been caused by the presentation to King Ed ward yesterday by some American la dies of the hospital ship Maine com mittee of a medal commemorative of the Maine's work, with a request that the king transmit the medal to Queen Alexandria. 1t seems that the idea was opposed by number of infiuen- tial members of the committee on the ground that the king did not want the medal; but the others carried the day
 The kings reply to the delegation is causing some comment, as he thanked ''this American committed for their '.loyal, dutiful sentiments" as he did the Kansas legislature in answering their telegram of condolence on the queens death, and as he also thanked the committee for bringing their valu- able services to continuation by pre- senting the ship to the government, whereas this was done solely by Ber- nard M. Baker of Baltimore.

AT DAUGHTER,s CRAVE.
"God Knows my Son Is Innocent; He
 Never. Never Shot His Sister"


 "oh, May. May, if you could only come back to us and speak one word the world would know that this charge against your brother is all lie"
 Kneeling at the head of her daugh- ter's grave ill the Pirtstfeld cemetery, Sunday morning, surrounded by her family. Mrs Robert L. Fosburgh sobbed out these words. Then with her face upturned to heaven she said:
 God knows my son is innocent. He never, never shot his sister,
 The family had gone to the ceme- tery, as is their custom on Sundays. The two remaining daughters. Esther and Beatrice, had brought great bunch es of sweet peas to lay upon the grave. Young Fosburgh, the defendant in the trial now in progress, was there with his wife.
 Mrs Fosburgh's brothers, the Stew arts of St Louis. stood on each side of her, arose trembling and weeping to her feet. Tn the background were Judge Seneca Taylor, the massive law yer from St Louis, who is East to help his old friend Fosburgh through his trouble, and who said, when the crime was AASI CAAdA ECU lnC OOg
 "Ali my time and all my money are at your service in this extremity. I do not believe the story"
 The women in the party were cry ing when Mrs Fosburgh arose and the eyes of the men were dim. Young Fosburgh. the accused, bit his thin lips until the blood came. Mrs Fosburgh was led to her carriage and driven to the hotel It was some time before she regained her composure.
 Visitors to the court-room and the people who come into the Wendell ho- tel are attracted by Mrs Fosburgh. She is sweet-faced. plump woman, with gray hair. and Is always dressed in the deepest black. She refrains as much as possible from talking about the tra- gedy that robbed her of her daughter, and when discussing it speaks with the utmost charity of the prosecution. To-day, in talking with friends, she said:
 sI am a Christian woman and have tried to bring up my family as Chris tians. We believe in the immortality of the soul and that death Is only T transition of environment. Because We believe this we have borne up under the terrible affliction that came to us.
 "But even the faith that wes will meet our daughter again does not make it possible to withstand thelignominy of this charge and trial without some show of feeling. It hurts. But we are all trying to be as brave as we can un- der these awful circumstances.
 'I live in the fear of God and nopa to see my daughter again. and believe I shall. And on her memory I swear tEat the story we have told of her death Is true" "-Pittsfield Despatch Nv York World.

OUR PACIFIC TRADE.
Makes a Poor Showing for the Fiscal
 Year Just Closed.


 Year Just Closed.
 The Pacific ocean is the only part of the statistical map of the world which presents an unfavorable ap- pearance in the study of American commerce in the fiscal year just closed. For all other parts of the world the figures of American ex- ports show a large increase. Ex- ports to South America have in- creased $6,0oo,ooo; to Africa, $6,o0o,- GOO; to North America, S10,00o, ,00O, and in Europe $1o0,ooo,000 during the Il months ending with May, 1901, as compared with the corresponding months of the preceding fiscal year; while as to Asia and Oceanica there is an apparent reduction of over $20,- GOO, ,OO0.
 But this appearance of a reduction in American trade with Asia and Oceanica is more apparent than real. If the exact figures of exports to the Pacific coast and islands could be given they would show little if any decrease, despite the fact that the conditions in China have cut off one half of the exports to that country, and that the overpurchases of cotton in Japan last year have momentarily reduced sales to the Yankees of the orient. Total American exports to Asia and Oceanica in the Il months ending with May, 1900, were, in round terms, $101, ,0oo, ,00O, and those of the corresponding months of the present fiscal year only Te,0O0, ,oOO-an sappar- ent shortage of S25.oo0,0 ,0o0. This show ing is chiefly due to the inability of the treasury bureau of statistics to present any figures of exports to the Hawaiian islands during the fiscal year, owing to the fact that the Ha- waiian islands are now considered a customs district of the United States, and exporters to those islands take advantage of the fact and decline to furnish the information formerly supplied under the law which re- quired all exports and imports to be stated when passing out of or into the country, but which does not re- quire a statement of movement of merchandise between ports and GUS toms districts of the United States.
 A careful study of the exports to the Hawaiian islands, however, justi- fes the assertion that the total for the year will be fully s2o, ,ooo, ,00o, and this, if added to the total of exports to the other Pacific islands and coun- tries, would bring the total within $4,00O,000 of that of last year.

A I.istorfc Punch-Bou7.

Quite possibly the most revered piece of silver plate in the United States navy is the massive 1s-pound silver punchbowl of the battleship In- diana. which bears the honorable sears of an historic battle. During that famous blockade and naval bat tie before Santiago de Cuba this rich piece of tablework was struck, by fragment of mortar-shel1 fired from the Socapa battery, end which burst in the wardroom passage of the bat tleship. A fve-pound bit of the shell struck the bowl on one of the stout est parts of the body, just where the seal of the state of Indiana forms the central portion of a beautiful decoration The seal is still there, but not as the artist designed 1t, for it now forms a part of large, fr- regular indentation. which in the es- timatfon of the officers and men of the battIaship enhances the value of the bowl a thousand times over.- Wald Fawcett, in Woman's Home ~<><-+ r>r>-

TO FIGHT THE MOSQUITO.
Quarantine Officers Preparing to Rid
 Staten Island of the Pest.

SIalen 1SlanQ or the Fest.
 Brooklyn. July 23.-Dr Doty. the health officer of the port, has decided to attempt the extermination of the mosquito on Staten Island. 4 section of the island adjacent to the quaran- tine station has been selected for she test Dr DOty says: We have been at work for the past year in our labor at0ry on the mosquito larvae in order to determine bacteriologically what can be done. First, to determine if the insect produces malaria; second, if so. can malaria be prevented by the extermination of the mosquito and it's larvae. The test have determined to make will be applied to a section of Staten Island adjoining our station and opposite the quarantine island, in ex- tent about three miles by one and one half miles. The boundaries of this section are New DOrp lane. Richmond road. Vanderbilt avenue and New York bay. All the swamps, ponds. marshes and wet places will be inspected by men from our laboratory to determine just where the possible breeding places are located. The mosquito and it's larvae will be taken in such places and will be examined to determine the presence of malaria Local physicians will be asked to cooperate by report ing all cases of malaria. All intelIi- gent cooperation of citizens also will be requested Tn the treatment of breeding places petroleum will be an important factor This test is in line with our quarantine work, as the quar- antine hospital for yellow fever is To- cated adjacent to the section selected for the test.
