Shooting ARRAY and Riot.

New York, Aug. PA deadly shoot
ing ARRAY, followed by riot, which the
police reserves were called to quell, took
place in the Italian quarter on the lower
east side early this morning The police
have secured information which causes
them to believe that the Malta was re-
sponsible for the deliberate murder Of
Salvatore BossottO, an Italian boy, Is
years old, because lie gave information
to the police Of the plans of the Malta to
rob Italians passing through New York
on their way home to Italy. The Kill
ing was done by Carlo Rossati, who
came here last night from Toronto, Can
ada. Young Bossoto is the son OF Frank
Bossoto, who keeps a restaurant at lOI
Park street. Over the restaurant, the
police say, live many members of the
Malta. Word was recently passed to
the Malta that many miners, with their
savings. would soon be in the city on
their way to Italy and would eat at Bos-
soto's restaurant. Hearing of the plan
to rob the travellers, young Bossoto went
to the police and asked for protection for
the men. The police arrested twelve
suspects, members of the Malta, and
held them in custody until the Italian
miners had sailed Tor home Once out
o. Jail the gang looked about to find the
police informer and determined that
young Bossoto was the man. The police
declare that the gang sent to Toronto
for Rossati, who is member of the
Malta. and settled on him to do the
murder. Early this morning Rossati
entered Bossoto's restaurant and sat
down. The elder Bossoto asked him
what he would have and Rossati replied
that he only wished to rest Bossoto
said it was time to close up, but Rossati
snarled that he didn't purpose leaving
Young BossotO in the rear room heard
the words passing between his father and
Rossati and came out into the restaurant

attempted no violence until he saw young
Bossoto, then he drew a revolver and
firing point blank at the young man
killed him instantly, the ball entering
the head between the eyes. Rossati
knocked the father down and choked
him. The noise of the shooting attract
ed crowd and Rossati fled pursued by
scores of angry Italians who now filled
the streets. Rossati was caught by the
police and the reserves had to be called
to keep the prisoner from being mobbed.

number of ground mines placed by the
Russians, and which have wrought such
havoc among the Japanese troops.

ANXIETY IN ST. PETERSBURG.

With all Russia hanging breatblessly
on the fate of Port Arthur, even such a
national event as the christening OF the
Czarevitch is robbed of much of the
prominence which would otherwise be
accorded it, and St. Petersburg last night
was dim and silent, with no sign of ies-
tiyitv. Although the iairy-like grounds
of Peterhof are gay with flags and decor
atoms in readiness for today's cele-
bration, and though the great palace is
filled with distinguished guests, the
scene resembles more one of weighty
international conference than that OF
gathering of merry-makers. 81 refers
6uro last night was filled with sinister
minors of Port Arthur desperate straits.
Interpretations are predicting the fail
of the fortress on the day Of the baptism
Of the Czarevitch; but this is easily
traceable to the fact that several big
Russian reverses have occurred on Rus
sian fete days.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. AUG. "a, 1904

TuF PEprBLICANs have for some time
bod lint little 10 bank on in the present
presidential campaign, and as Novem-
her draws closer the little they have
had is apparently passing away. In 1900
the full dinner pail was their war cry,
and a few months ago an attempt was
made to again foist that false emblem
upon the party. This course was soon
seen to be impracticable in the face OF
apparent facts, as working men were
beino forced to receive decreased wages
and compelled to lose much time during
the so-called "era Of prosperity 'he
marty managers pretended was in EVIL

This fraud when it was shown that the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company was
cutting down expenses in every depart
ment by dischargiDg employees, while
thousands of operatives in Penns}l'
vania industries were only allowed 10
work every other day by reason OF the
depression in every branch OF manu-
factures. American wOrkingmen Ger
tainlv have too much sense to allow
themselves to hoodwinked into believing
in full dinner pals under such glaring
conditions A northern republican paper
Yesterday evidently for political pur'
poses) endeavored to show that prePa,
rations were in progress for an increased
trade in textile goods, and made forecasts
concerning future activity in cotton
mills of the country. 1t was suggestive
that those in New England States were
handled gingerly, while all such plants
soutb of Mason and Dixon's line were
alleged to have prosperous times before
them. The purpose, probably, was to
inyeigle people in this section OF the
country into the belief that such con-
ditions had been superinduced by rePubli'
can ideas of political economy, with the
vain hope that wedge might be forced
into the Solid South. All the pros
perity of this section has come about
under local democratic rule where stand
ing protest against high tariff, trusts
&c. has and ever will be urged.

Father Killed by Son.

Eaton, Ohio. Aug. 24.-Harry Miller,
II years old, shot and instantly killed
his father, John w. Miller, fifty years
old, at their home eight miles northeast
of here last evening. The tragedy re-
suited from a quarrel between the elder
Miller and his wife. Miller and his wife
had been living apart for some weeks,
He returned home under the influence
of liquor, it is said, and demanded his
wife to 90 away with him and leave the
children behind. She demurred. Then
he drew a revolver and threatened to kill
her if she did not accompany him. 1t is
said he also threatened to kill any Of the
children, should they interfere with his
plans. Fearing the father would carry
out his threat, Harry, the eldest of the
children, procured shot gun, and stepped
in to the yard where the father with re-
yolver in hand was hOurishing il menac-
ingly in his wile's face. The boy dis
charged the two loads Of shot squareIy
in the face of his father, tearing away
the greater portion of his head. The boy
says he shot in self defense as the father
pointed the revolver at him as he came
out of the house with the shot gun.
After the shooting young Miller gave him
self up to Sheriff Huffman.
