LYNCHING OF ITALIANS
INVESTIGATION BY REPRESENTA-
TIvEs OF VICTOR EMANUEL.
Representation Made to the United
States GOvernment-AnOther De-
mand fer Indemnity Probable.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE Italian
government has taken cognizance of a re-
cent affray at Erwin, Miss, in which Il is
claimed two Italians were lynched and a
third seriously wounded. The facts have
been communicated to the Foreign Office at
Rome and the Italian embassy here has
made representations TO the State Depart
ment. At the same time the Italian au-
thorities are pursuing an investigation of
their own through their consul at New
Orleans and their consular agent at Vicks-
burg, Miss, which is not far from the scene
of the alleged trouble.
Thus far the reports received from these
officials establish two essential points in
what is considered a rather serious condi-
tion of affairs. First, it is reported posi-
lively that the Italians were killed by
lynching and not through any accident or
chance affray. Second, the Italian authori-
ties nearest the scene of the trouble have
established 10 their satisfaction that the
persons killed are Italian subjects in the
full sense. not having taken out naturali-
zation papers. Thus far the case is in a
state of inquiry. both on the part of the
state Department an0 the Italian authori-
ties. but there is every indication that the
facts will constitute an international Incl
dent similar 10 that with Italy growing out

WASHINGTON, July 1T.--James E. Boyd,
formerly assistant attorney general and
now United States district judge for his
State by appointment of President McKin-
ley is in Washington. Speaking of the po-
ltical situation there, he says: "The Demo-
cratic party is badly split up. The Bry-
antics and the anti-silver men are fiying
a each others throats already The same
thing seems TO be going on all over the
South and Ii seems to me that the Demo-
cratic party is seriously divided in many
OF the States OF that section. All indica-
tions point to a widening of the breach
rather than its healing. In North Carolina
l would not be surprised TO see the cleo
tion of four five Republican representa-
tives In Congress at the next congresson-
al elections. The reapportionment of the
State has made several close districts, and
unless a great change comes over the
prospects as they now appear. the Demo-
Gratis will stand a good chance to lose
some Of them"
Reports of a similar chara cter come here
from many Southern States, especially
those that in earlier days were strongly
Whig. as North Carolina, Georgia, Louis
lana and Tennessee. The Ohio Democra tic
platform is serving useful political pur-
pose in bringing these differences TO the
