The documents rceeivod from Judge Horton so far in the matter, clearly indicate that he will recommend that the prosecution be discontinued and the cases dismissed. It is said his recommendation in the matter, based upon an investigation, will have great weight with the attorney general, and is considered by no means a prophesy to say that the attorney general will recommend the district court to dismiss the cases, and that he will comply with the recommendation there is no doubt. a minimum rate ef wages of not less than 85 cents per hour.

April 2. A statement of the Italian affair, given out by a high official of the government, Is as follows: Baron Fava, the Italian minister, notified Secretary Blaine that under orders from Rome, he was compelled to withdraw his minion to this government. He does not close the Italian legation, but leaves the Marquis Imperiain, tiie present secretary, to aot as charge daffaires. The act is no sense of hostility to this government, but may indicate a certain degreo of discontent on the part of the Italian ministry. Baron Fava has been on diplomatic duty in Washington for the past ten yoars and his retirement will be much regretted, both officially and socially.

The highly sensational rumors with his retirement are not believed to have any foundation. It is said by a gentleman who has had large experience in the diplomatic affairs of our government, that Mr. Porter, the United States minister to Italy, will not necessarily retire because of the withdrawal of the Italian minister of this country. A declaration of war, the same official said, did not necessarily follow such action as that of the Italian government. There were many proce-rhnts for it, nearly all of which, however, ire among tho European nations.

Through a better understanding of the differences that may come, or through the friendly intercession of a third power, these difficulties are often adjusted without recourse to arms. The prospect of war over the incident is ridiculed by this gentleman, as is also tho prospect of an extra session of congress growing out of the same incident.

Under the theory of our government the national authorities have no right to interfere in the domestic affairs of Louisiana. The people of New Orleans may violate in-ternational obligations as much as they please and the United States government must stand by as an humble protestant and apologist. This is one view.

Opposed to this is the declaration of the constitution that treaties with other nations are the supreme law oi the land. As such, surely the federal government must have power to maintain theit terms. GENERAL MAKKEXA Kansas City, Apnl CATTLE Shipping steers 3 85 9 5 80 Cows and 1 07X9 4 0.

April 3.

Dr. T. S. Verdi, an Italian resident here, was interviewed just after he had been some time with Baron Fava, the Italian minister. He said: It has been asked again and again, Why does not Italy wait for action by the New Orleans grand jury? and now I ask why should she? What can we expect from that grand jury? What could we look for from such a community as New Orleans, where the mayor is a murderer, the sheriff a murderer, the board of trade and the clubs composed of murderers, where murder was committed In open procession in the heart of the city.

Very much, indeed, would be gained by that grand jury. Rome. United States Minister J. A. Porter had an audience at the foreign office.

His conciliatory efforts, and his attempt to explain American institutions were met with this reply: We have nothing to do with your consti-tution. If it is fouud wanting you must mend it.

The Globe expresses the opinion that it is nocessary that the government at Washington should receive a sharp lesson in the customs of international diplomacy. The United States, it says, will' have to flounder out of the trouble by some method, but not that of war. It will have to amend the weak point in its foreign relations, arising from a weak place in its domestic administration. European states cannot negotiate with Judge Lynch, and can as little negotiate with a government unable to answer for Judge Lyneh without an indefinite inquiry as to his exact rights aud status. Atlanta, Ga.

The United States government has, and can have no jurisdiction in calling tho executioners of the assassins to account. The Italian government ought to be told oven now that the United States government proposes to do nothing, because it can do nothing that tho American people strongly sympathize with the spirit and the motive that led to execution 0f the Mafia assassins, and that the only way for the Italian government to remedy matters is to recall its expatriated assassins with its minister. The Chattanooga Times, the Charleston Courier, the Columbus, Enquirer, and the southern press generally, is full of such states rights talk. The Feeling at Rome. 9 Home, April 3.

The Associated Press correspondent has in hand the whole correspondence between the United States and Italy on the New Orleans lynching. To the demands of the Italian government the United States has answered that the constitution gives limited powers to the federal government in regard to the interference with the various states, but the government affirms its good intentions in the matter. The note of Baron Fava to Mr. Blaine is that Italy asked and still asks the federal governments guarantee that regular proceedings will be taken against the culprits in the New Orleans lynching, and that the federal government will admit, in principle, its obligations to pay an indemnity to the familes of the victims. The note adds that Italy cannot, and is not called upon to discuss American institutions, but must urge upon the federal government the observation of the principles of international law.

Italy hopes that the federal government will appreciate the obligation incumbent upon it as a government of a country to accede to Italys just demands. Rumors circulated in the United States that Americans are detained here as hostages are classed as poissons davnl (April fool jokes) in very bad taste. Public opinion here awaits the issue of the negotiations between the United States and Italy in a most tranquil frame of mind. Ships and Forts Fight. Panama, April 3.

Advices from Valparaiso tell of a combat in the harbor of that city. The Blanco is an ironclad in the hands of tbe revolutionists; the Florence is a government tug; the OHiggins is a sloop of war consorting with the Blanco. A heavy shell from the Blanco struck the Florence, blowing her entirely out of the water and everyone of her crew, seventeen men, were either killed or wounded. A broadside from the OHiggins knocked the torpedo boat all to pieces. The two insurgent vessels then turned their attention to the forts and a lively battle ensued.

A shell from the forts struck the OHiggins and went clear through her. Another shell caused a gun on her quarterdeck to explode. When tbe smoke cleared away the deck was found to havo been literally torn out of the vessel and nine men out of the guns crew of twelve were blown to atoms. The sloop was at once taken out of the range of the guns of the forts. Old Tima Kansans Din, Topeka, April 3.

Trade Ha Been Quiet, With Slow Colleo-tloai Cauetl by Bad Boad and Bad Weather Speculator. Forcing Price to Unload.

General Average of Frloea of Commodities Beach Their Extreme and Turn Down 1 For Ceut. Money la Kaay With Increaalug Supply. New York, March 0. R. G.

Dun fc Co. 'a weekly review of trade says: If no news is good news, as concerns the condition of business at this season, the outlook is fairly satisfactory. Trade has been rather quiet and hesitating, as is natural at this season, and there is rather more complaint of slow collections, but throughout the northwest bad weather and the bad state of country roads supply an explanation. Money is in fair and increasing supply. The outlook for the coming crops continues unexceptionally good.

It haa been a week of unhealthy speculation in some products, owing to desperate efforts of powerful combinations to force prices on which they can unload without loss. The general average of prices reached its highest point this year on Monday, and though now a fraction lower, is still 1 per cent, above last week. But manufactured products do not share in the advance, except in a few cases. The iron market has a better tone. At Boston money is easy and trade dull, because of the weather.

At Chicago sales exceed last year's for the same week, and receipts of wool considerably increased, while there is a decrease of flour and lard and a decrease of one-half in dressed beef. At other northwestern points trade is fair. The business failures occurring throughout the country during the last seven days number 256, as compared with a total of 275 last week. For the corresponding week last year the figures were 243. tlathored From Mniiy States.

5 Fifth avenue, and the funeral was delayed for the arrival of absent relatives. Mr. Chickering was noted for his uprightness of character. A good illustration of his honesty is found in the case of the Miser Paine, who, while distrusting all the world, did not hesitato to deposit his hoardings in the caro of Mr. Chickering, never asking for a receipt.

Finally Paine died, and then, to the surprise of every one, the veteran piano dealer announced that he had no less a sum than $300,000 lying in his safe, which had been left in his care by the dead man. This sum Mr. Chickering, who might have kept every penny of it without any one being the wiser, turned over intact to the misers astonished heirs. Such waB the man. Crop and Woathnr Bulletin.

St. Lotus, March 31. The secretary of the board of agriculture furnishes the following crop and weathor bulletin for the week. The rainfall has been in excess of normal and Tory little seeding or farm work has been done. The temperature, while averaging about normal, has been very uniform, neither very warm nor very cold.

This has held back fruit buds, and they are not so likely to be injured by frost. Ihe sunshine has been much below the normal. Warm sunshine is badly needed to put the sou in condition for plowing. Although wheat is not so far advanced as it was at this date last year, it is reported in good condition, with an excellent prospect for a fine crop. No damage by Hessian ny is reported.

The prospects for a good fruit crop are very favorable. A Dangerous $3 Counterfeit. Washington, D. March 31. A sensation has been caused at the treasury department by the discovery of a counterfeit $2 silver certitl-ateof the series of 1886.

It is estimated that there are nearly $4,000,000 of these notes in circulation, and the problem before the treasury department is how to get them back into the treasury before any considerable quantity of the counterfeit notes get into circulation.

It Is the Duty of the Management of Rail-reade to See That Laws for the Safety of Travelers Are Obeyed, or Sutler Penalties, New York, April 1. Chauncoy M. Depew was subpoenaed to appear before the grand jury as a witness in its investigation into the causes and responsibility for the collision attended fire in the New York Central tunnel.

After Mr. Depew had given his testimony the grand jury prepared a number of questions upon which they wanted information and submitted thorn to Judge Fitzgerald. The judge, after looking up the statute, said, among otiier things: In relation to, the matter of directors, whom you are inquiring about at present, have these persons 'the control and management of the road? If so it is their duty to see that the requirements of the law for the safety of the traveling public are respected. There should be no hesitation of the grand jury to aot upon the law applied to them. Any person concerned in the commission of an act is a member of the liable party.

The law savs that some person shall bo responsible. Those people control the management of this 10 id. They have acted their duty imposed upon them by the statute. If they have violated the statute an indictment should bn found, and let me say that while it is proper that in cases where persons of eminent standing in the community have serious charges made against them, it is well to carefully inquire into all the particulars, yet the law requires that the same law should be enforced against them as against anyone else. If the facts warrant an indictment, an indictment should be found.

Judge Fitzgeralds words created some little stir in court. After he had once more taken his seat a juror arose for further instructions. In answer to the questions of the juror the court said that the directors could be charged with misdemeanor, as well as the corporation. There ie no doubt in the mind of any person who was in the court room when the jury filed out but that a true verdict will be found against tbe director! of the road. Late and Important.
