Be Will Begin by Condescendingly Approving tie Marquis’ Change of Tone—Then He Willi Proceed to Give Him a Few More Pointers About the Constitution. Washington, April 3.—"1 will send the dispatch of the Marquis di Rudini to Mr. Secretary Blaine in a few short hours,” said the Marquis Imperiali de Francevilla last night, but it was not until this morning that Secretary Blaine received it. It was in Italian and Secretary Blaine had to keep the cabinet waiting, when it met at its usual hour, 11 o’clock, until ho could get it trans lated at the state department. Then he carried It over to the white house and read it to the cabinet, which proceeded to discuss it and the whole situation. BLAINE PREPARING A REPLY. It was expected that Secretary Blaine would give out a copy of the cablegram after the cabinet meeting for publication, but he d;d not, and it is inferred from this fact that he is preparing a reply to it, in which he will condescendingly approve of Premier Rudini’* change of tone and at the same time point out to him, first, that the prosecution of the lyncbers has been begun by an investigation, and that the United States government has already notified the Italian government of that fact; and, second, that while the United States admits the principles of indemnification for injuries to foreigners, it by no means admits that in this case any indemnity is due, that being a matter to be determined iu the future, and that when that fact has been determined it wilt be for congress and not for the executive to say what indemnity shall be paid and when and how, since it must appropjlate the money for that pur pose, the executive having no permanent fund to draw upon. TO GIVE RUDINI A PEW LESSONS. Secretary Blaine expects to have to give Premier Rudini several easy lessons in our tons itutioual law yet, but he believes, in cotnmou with the President and the other members of the cabinet, that the war is over, and that while there is a good deal of diplomacy ahead iu the negotiations which nre to follow, the end is really in sight. They will be surprised if it does not come out in about this ordor. The district at torney at New Orleaus will make a report to the attorney-general, telling what has been and what will be dona. This will be transmitted to Premier Rudini with ap propriate comment by Secretary Blaine. Probably it will state that several of the lynched men were Italian citizens and that none of the lynchers will be punished. REGRET TO BE EXPRESSED. Secretory Blaine will probably express regret at the fact and at the constitutional inability of the United States government to remedy it. Premier Rudini will then demand indemnity for the murder of the Italian subjects. Secretary Blaine will In form him that he will trausmit the demand to congress for it* action, and there the matter will end. a now minister being sent to take Baron Fava’s place and the Mar quis Imperiali acting in the meantime as charge. Of course ail this will take time, and another tempest in Italian politics may change the course of events. Poor Baron Fava is really the only man who gets hurts. Recalled by Premier Rudini nud repudiated by Secretary Blaine, Baron Fava fee s very keenly his position end talks bitterly about it privatelv. He is particularly annoyed by the fact that Secretary Blaine raised a question of voracity with hitn in his letter to Marquis Imperiali. TO LOOK INTO THEIR RECORDS. If this government considers the question ot indemnity, inquiry will no doubt he made into the character of the alleged sub jects of Italy killed in Hew Orleans, whether or not they were compelled to leave their land, under a promise never to return, and were compensated to leave, etc. Should it be found that these men left their countrj’ for their coun try s good, this government would hardly consent to compensate their families. It is reported that at the cabinet meeting to-day a letter was read from either Baron Fava or the Marquis Imperial!, intimating that tne recall of the minister was really but a leave of absence. Baron Fava is still in , 1 . his residence, and could not be seen w-nignt with reference to the above report, nor could the marquis be found. KX-CON FED ELATES AROUSED.

But the United States also cana< t conquer any great power. Yet if the United Btates continues to claim exemption from pressing international obligations its position will not be supported without new international laws or recourse to war to obtain modifica tions.” ITALY’S IGNORANCE. The Catholic attributes Baron Fava’s recall 10 imperfect knowledge on the part of the Rudini cabinet of tho system of state autonomy enjoyed in the United States. Baron Fava’s note, says the Tablet, begged every question at i sue. The real explana tion of the precipitate aotion of the Italian ministers must be found in the fact that they feel that public opinion in Italy re quired some demonstration. RUNG IN ON IRELAND. The conserative press apply the difficulty to illustrate the evil that would result from concession of home rule iu Ireland, and the comparison will h ivo undoubted potency in the electoral platforms. If autonomy should be granted to Ireland, it is argued, how could the Irish be compelled, except forci bly, to observe foreign and imperial obliga tions. The Tory Globe, in a fictional forecast of the year 1891, describes an Irish mob hunt ing a party of Frenoh sailors in the streets of Cork: a jury acquitting tho rioters; the Dublin parliament refusing to interfere; a French souadron appearing at Queenstown to exact damages or bombard the town and a general war with France. Following the same line, it is argued that “federal institu tions cannot be worked by a nation having wide external interests. They worked with success in the United States because until recently that oountry had no foreign policy. ’’ ENGLAND’S INTEREST. The conservatives fling about with de lighted surprise these new reasons against home rule. A report prevailed in the noliti cal clubs to-night that Lord Salisbury, on instigation of the Marquis di Rudini, would offer to mediate for the adjustment of the difference between Italy and the United States. A high foreign office officii', when asked to state t e views of the government, said that the question hal not been discussed. Ha admitted that a communication had been sent iustruoting Sir Julian Pauncefote to report on the question especially as affect ing the protection of British subjects. He thinks there ought to be a provision in the United States constitution enabling the fed eral government to remove the venue of trial of foreigners to Washington in cases in which local popular prejudice threatens injustice. A SPEEDY SETTLEMENT EXPECTED. The R ime correspondent of the News telegraohs: “Mr. Porter, tho United minister here, has informed me that the federal government has promised to do everything possible to bring the New Orleans lynchers to trial, and that both the American and Italian governments are confident that the incident will be promptly and satisfactorily arranged.” The cor respondent adds: "This opinion is not very general here." AN ATTACK ON PITTS3URG. Rumors of an Italian Plot in Case of V/ar. Newcastle, Pa., April B.—A natural ized Italian named Gabarrio, who owns property at Wampum and is held in good repute, has mode public a story of his hav ing been approached by some of his coun trymen with a proposition to join 80,000 Italians in a plot to capture and destroy Pittsburg. Gibarrio says every Italian in Allegheny and Beaver counties has been similarly approached. MANY ARRIVALS AT PITTSBURG. Pittsburg, Pa., April S.—Whatever of truth there may be in the reports from Newcastle and YV heeling as to an attack on Pittsburg in case of trouble be tween this oountry and Italy, one thing is certain. For the past week au unusual number of Italians have been arriving iu this oity daily, and to-day squads of twenty and thirty were unusually numerous. The police department has been quietly at work and secured a list of several hundred Italian boarding houses, and the daily invoices of strangers are under strict supervision. taking revenge in west Virginia. * Parkersburg, W. Va., Aprils.—There is considerable commotion among the rail road lines in this state and tnere are indica tions that the Italians are avenging their countrymen by tbe destruction of property. Two attempts to wreck the fast express ou the Baltimore and Ohio railroad were detected in time to prevent ios9 of life. A few minutes before the New York express passed a narrow cut near Grafton a track-wnlker disc vered several heavy piece) of iron wedged tightly between the rails. An hour later the Chicago express barely escaped a disastrous wreck near the same point by a similar ob struction. A large depot and store building on tho Baltimore and Ohio at Constitution was blown up with dynamite, completely wrecking the buildings aud causing a heavy loss. Ali the contents were destroyed. All these crimes are charged to the Italians in the neighborhood where they happened. C’MALuEY SURRENDERS. Three Indictments against Him ln Connection With Court Cases. New Orleans, La., April 3.— Dominick C. O’Malley, the notorious detective who was charged with having attempted to pack the jury in the Hennessy case, and who mysteriously disappeared when the crowd at the Olay statue and at the parish prison on the memorable March 14 were howling for his blood, created a sensation this morn ing by surrendering himself. He drove to the criminal court with bis attorney, Lionel Adams, and Jarr)°s Barry, ex-clerk of the criminal court, and gave himself op to Chief Deputy Sheriff Arnault. UNDER THREE INDICTMENTS. There are three indictments against him, one as accessory to the crime of bribing one of the tale* jurors in the Hennessy case, one for perjury in a suit in the civil court sev eral years ago, and one for attempting to procure the commission of the crime of per jury in 1882 in a suit of the state against himself in the criminal court hare. Bail j was fixed at $3,000 and Barry signed for j the whole amount O’Malley looks well, tnough rather p , le. He still refused to talk, but says he will make a statement. He would not tell whether tie had left the city or not. Barry says he has been here all the time. LOOKING UTO THE LYNCHING. The United States Attorney at New Orleans Making an Inquiry. Washington, April 3.—Attorney Gen eral Miller has received a telegram from the United States district attorney at New Orleans saying that he is now engaged in an investigation of the recent killing of the Italians in the city jail, m accordance with in trusions from Washington, and| will prepare and forward his report to the At torney General as promptly as possible. rudini’s dispatch. There have been no deyelopments since morning in the Italian negotiations. The dispatch from the Murquis di Rudini, the Italian premier, the substance of which has al- eady been stated in the news dispatches from Rome, was laid before the cabinet by Secretary Blaine and discussed for a time. Later Secretary Blaine said that be would not be able to give out anything for publi cation to-day. So the exact text of the marquis’ note remains a secret, and it is re garded as poeslble that it will not be made publio until the secretary has prepared his reply. * OOMMSNTS OF THE PRHBS. Most of the Frenoh Editorials Moderate In Tone. Paris, April 3.—French papers discuss the Fava affair for the most part in a temperato tone, with the exception of the Temps, which refers to America's speedy action in sending iron-clads to Tangier to support her demands in the ease of the maltreatment of American citizens. The Temps thinks it is a strange con tradiction for America to decline responsibility when foreigner* are in volved, and asks: “Why should the fed eral government sign international treaties, if, when pressed closely, they disappear liko phantoms?” La Liberte thinks that the Washington government cannot, for the sake of a tew thousand dollars, allow its respect for inter national law to be impugned. The Pays dwells upon the disturbance of international trade that would follow a rupture between Italy and America. ITALY TAUNTED. The Royalist Gazette de Franca taunts Italy upon her own glaring violation of in ternational law from the invasion of the pontifical status to the massacres in Ethio pia. It says: “It is curious to see states which recognize no public law when their own ambitions or interests are involved hypocritically invoke the law as soon as thejr themselves are attacked.” The Journal des Debats says that Italy has an undoubted right to demand from the United States that an effort be made to punish tbe men who lynched the Italians at New Orleans. “It is natural that Italy finds difficulty iu admitting tliedistinotion which Secretary Blaine draws between central and local powers, because she has cogni zance of the federal power alone. There fore she can only apply to tbe federal power for redress. Italy has not acted hastily. She would have gained nothing by waiting longer, especially in view of the customary prooedure of Washington diplomacy and in view of the present constitutional non possum us with which the Italian demands have been met." GH.N. PIKB’3 DEATH. The Official Announcement to the Members of tbe Order. New York, April 3.—The followirg notice relative to the death of Gen. Albert Pike has been issued: New York, April 3,1589.

GORMAN’S T-tIP SOUTH. The Senator Highly Impressed With the Importance of Savannah. Washington, April 3.— Senator Gorman has returned from his southern trip aud has been talki: gto a newspaper man. Herald his visit to Forida had no political signifi cance. He simply went south to see tbe country. He said he was amazed at the development of that seotion. He was particularly impressed with tbe phenomenal growth of Atlanta. Savanuah he thinks one of the most beautiful cities he ever visited, and the magnitude ot its sea traffic oame to him in tbe light of a revela tion. “AU in all,” he remarked, “I am bet ter for my trip. My physicial condition is improved, and I have had personal evidence of the rapid development of tbe section so lately depleted by the civil war. I am going to make anotner trip down there very sjon.” He added: “I feel that I have not looked the couutry over as I wish to do.” TWO THRCATB CUT. A Boy, While Insane, Kills Hie Mother and Then Himself. Bloomington, Ind., April 3.— Ward Demaree to-day murdered his mother and then killed himself. A visit to bis house showed a horrible sight. On a bed lay the mother, with her throat cut from ear to ear, while on the floor, in two pools of blood, lay the lifeless clay of the murderer and suicide with his own throat cut. No one was present exoept a little daughter aDd sister, who was unable to toll how the tragedy occurred. It is supposed that while the mother was sleeping the son, in a fit of iusanity, cut her throat and then u?ed the razor on his own. The mother seemed to have died without a struggle. DEMOCRATS AT A BANQUET. The Juneau Club of Milwaukee Gives a Banquet. Milwaukee, Wis. , April 3.—The ban quet of the Juneau Democratic Club took place st the Plsnkington House to-night, ad a attended by 300 leading democrat of tbb c.ty and state. Gen. Black spoke on "The Democratic party, the party of political reform;” William E. Ewiug of Illinois on “Tlie Tariff,” and D. G. Schley of this city on “The Young Democracy.” The large dining hall was handsomely decorated and an elaborate menu was served. SWAY OF THE GRIPPE. The Eoidemlc Relax ng Its Hold on Pittsburg. Pittsburg, Pa., April 3.—La grippe is gradually relaxing Be bold. The percent age of deaths from the epidemic daring the past three days has fallen off considerably, while undertakers say that orders for funer als are less by half than those of last week. Physicians and druggists also report a large decrease in the number of oases. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 1891. TWO REGIMENTS ON HAND A NIGHT OF APPR&HENS.ON IN THO CL K& REGION. Crowds of Strikers on the Streets All Night Long—Everybody in Momen tary Expectation of an Cutbreak— Doubt as to Which Side Fired the First Shot. Mount Pleasant, Pa., Auril B.— Quiet reigned throughout the Coke regious this morning. No outbreak hat occurred since the fatal raid yeeterday morning. While the situation is still grave, tbe presence of the militia has bad a reassuring effect upon the people. Two regiment* nre now upon tbe ground, fully equipped and prepared for action. The Eighteenth regiment, with over 500 men, reached here shortly after midnight, and the Tenth regiment, with nearly as many more men, arrived upon the scene a little later. Adjt. Gen. McLelland and Brig. Gen. Wiley are in oonnnaud, and will remain as long as thsre is any danger of another outbreak. a night of uncertainty. The uncertainty and fear last night proved an awful strain ou both the strikers and citizens No sleeping was done in tbe en tire region, but crowds paraded tbe streots or gathered in knots at the corners, or dis appeared in bunches over the dark bills, leaving doubt as to their destination and in tentions The foreigners were quiet, but always in crowds, and momeutacy fear of an outbreak from thousnuds whtoh an en tire regiment could not quell was only dis sipated by the first streaks of early dawn. TEN DEAD. So far ten deaths have occurred, and several more are in critical condition. The funerals of the victims will take place to morrow. Peter Wise, master workman, says the entire coke couutry will turn out, and that at that time the people must take care. He eays tho burial of the dead will furnish a renewed incentive for activity of the living. A prominent leader of the Slay element stated this morning that a majority of the crovfd out yesterday morn ing was there under protest, and that the American, English and Irish leaders went to Standard aud forced the Slavs to Join them under threats of punishment. the inquest. The inquest on the bodies of tho men killed at' Morewood, which was postponed last night, was resumed this morning. Neither the sheriff nor the coke companies were represented, while the labor leaders were present in full force. Albert Halley ewore that the only shooting he beard came from the guards on the More wood property. He was 125 yards from whore the shootiDg oocurred. George Taylor, a watchman, testified to hearing two or three pis ol shots be fore the regular firing of tbe guards. He was the first man to reach the spot after the stootigg, and tells a grapbio story of the finding of the bodies of the dead, either on the bridge or in the ditches, while tbe wounded hobbled away. Sharp cross-questioning brought out tbe fact that the witness was a deputy and car ried a revolver, though he did not know whether the guards carried revolvers or not. This doubt, created as to whether tbe pistol shots were fired first by the guards or the strikers, was received with a cheer by the orowd. fears for the captain. Fears are entertained for the safetv of Capt. Lauer, whose men did the shooting yesterday. The threats against him are loud and deep, and he is goilig around with a body guard. Trouble is looked for in Fay ette county, and it is probable that a regi ment of militia will be sent there. The following telegram was received this afternoon from Alexander Jordan, the Ital ian oonsul at Philadelphia: “It fs impossi ble for me to come. Denounce the killing to the proper authorities.” WORK AT THE OVENS. A Scottdale (Pa.) speoialsays: "Every thing is reported quiet in the region at all other places. At Jimtown an increased force of men are at work. Twelve cars of coke were shipped from there yesterday and the shipment was increased to-day. About 200 ovens are now in blast. The Adelaide is running nearly half full. The Cora plant of Newmyer & Sons has started up full,and also tbe Clarissa mines of Cochran & Sons. The Nellie plant of tbs same company is running with 150 ovens in blast. The Coal Brook of the McClure company is still running full, unmolested, as is also the Mutual plant on the Youngwood branch. Rainey’s three works aud tbe Fair Chance plant are being operated openly with non-union men and are running full. The Dunbar company, which started their Ferguson plant under the peace arrangement with the mine work ers’ organization at the old rate of wages, have reduced their men to the ra’e offered in the sliding scale posted by the Frick and McClure companies. Robert Watchorn, ex seoretary of the national organization, arrived at the region tais morning and is now at the Morewood works. It is given out that ho will make an effort So get a compromise between tbe operators and tbe men, but the prospects are not en couraging. The present attitude of the operators would Indicate that the men delayed too long in asking, aud created too muon trouble ®o secure any conoossious for a compromise. Tbe general feeling is that if Watchorn fails to secure a peaceful con ference any hope for the men is practically beyond reason." A FAMILY IN DANGER. Scottdalr, Pa., April 3.—The family of General Manager Ramsey have not yet recovered from the fright they received on the night of the riot, and guards are still set over the house. Tbo Hungarians an nounced that they would burn the house on their way toliorewood, and in Manager Ramsey’s absence the only protection the family had was that afforded by his son William and a friend. They were armed only with a Winchester rifle and a revolver, but they several times drove armed strikers from tbs grounds, and were obliged to watch all night before re inforced by other guards. CoL Hawkins, in command of the Tenth regiment, says that so far as his investiga tion goes, Capt. Lauer was perfectly justi fied in firing on the str.kora at Morewood, and teat he should strongly advise that militia be keptiu the region until the strike is over and the region is quiet. A PRIEST’S APPEAL. To-night Rev. Father Lambing, of the Scottdaie Catholic ohurcb, who is greatly beloved and respected by, and has a strong influence over the strikers, issued an appeal to the region. He says: “It is time for all parties to reflect. If not, and bloodshed has come so soon, how will it end ? There Is so much hatred on both sides it behooves those who can do so to call a halt and stop rash, senseless talk, that bai really caused all the trouble. If the saloons of the region had been closed, as well as the armories of the governor opened, more would have been dbne toward restoration. The meu cannot be replaced or displaced, and the vast ma jority must remain in the region.” He has a claim to be beard and some influence for good, and advisee & peaceful, amicable set tlement i efore the trouble goes further aud perhaps both parties fare worse. DANGER AT SCOTTDALE. All i* reported quiet iu tbe coke regions to-night, with tbe exception of a stir in Scotldale, caused by the centering here of tbe strikers to attend the funeral of seven of the ten victims, who are to be buried in the Catholic cemetery in a long trench already prepared to reoeive them. Tbe strikers are gathering here al ready in such great numbers that it will hardly be poeslble to house them all, and by to-onrrow afternoon 10,000 men will be present at tbe funerals, whio > will be con ducted by Rev. Fathers Lambing and Sine gle. A special train has just brought 700 armed militia from Mount Pleasaut, and other companies will be here in tbs morning, as trouble Is feared from the great bxly of strikers when they see their fellow strikers buried, who, they say, were simply murdered. Mayor Feats of Soottdale ha* ordered that ait the saloons must close to-morrow, and a strong force of special policemen will also be sworn iu to assist in pressrving order. MORE TROOPS ORDERED OUT Harrisburg, Pa., April 3.—This after noon au official order to Gen. Wiley was issued from the adjutant general’s depart ment directing him to order the Tenth regiment to the sup port of Hbsriff Clawson at Mount Pleasant, and to order the Eighteenth regi ment under arms. The order it under date of yesterday, and instructs Gen. Wiley with the foroes under him to assist the sheriff in restoring order and enforcing tbe laws, and to make such disposition of the troops as he may deern necessary. Gen. Wiley is further directed to see “that the troops are moved only in compact bodies, and that no firing is permitted, exoept by order of the officer in oommand. All other means of quieting the riot and restoring order having fiist noon exhausted, the officer commanding the troops shall notifly the rioters that they will be fired upon unless they promptly disperse. Should they out disperse the order to fire shall be deliberately given. Every soldier will lie expeoted to fire with effect, and the firing will be continued until the mob disappears." NO CHANGE IN THE SITUATION. There bos evidently been no fresh out break in the coke region. From noon until after 10 o’clock to-night Gov. Pattlson did not receive o single telegram. Gen. Wiley sent t o following telegram to the governor late to-night: “There is no change In the con dition of thing* from the last message. All is quiet. The funeral of the dead will take plaoe at Soottdale to-morrow at 2:3oo’ciock p. in. There will undoubtedly be a large attendance. 1 will send five ooinpaniee of tbe Eighteenth regiment under oommand of Col. Smith to that point to-night.” later this telegram wae received from Adjt. Gen. McClellan: “Have nothing addi tional-to Gen. Wiley's telegram. There has been discreet disposition ot both regiments. The officers and men are behaving admira bly, which ie apparently having a good effect. Col. McKibbin is giving good assist ance.” AGAIN IN A FERMENT. Pittsburg, Pa.. April 4,3 a. m.— Lato dispatches to-night indicate a sudden and unexpected movement of the strikers to ward Morewood. The guard at that place has been treblod, and it is hardly consid ered poeslble that the strikers would oonsldor another raid, in view of the fact that the troope are generally centered there. To-night Col. Hawkins hurriedly Issued orders at Mount Pleasant, gathered up five of his oompaniea and hastily left tho place. He refused to give his destination, whioh was either Morewood or Siotulalo, where the funerals of the rioters are to take place. The region is again in a ferment. GROUNDING OF THB THIANA. A Separata Court of Inquiry to Look Into Her Loss Wabhinqton, April 3.— The Secretary of the Navy has do-idea to appoint a separate court of inquiry to look into the circum stances attending tbe grounding of the tug Triana at Cuttyhuuk, in place of lmpoilng that duty on the Galena court. Accord ingly he has designated Capt. O. F. Stevens, Commander B. F. Rav and Lieutenant Commander Edwin Longnecker as a court, with Lieut. W. N. Kilburn as judge advo cate. This oourt will meet at Newport on April 7.. Direct Tax Claims Paid. W ashington, March 3. —The|Secretary of the 'Treasury to-day paid the direct tax claims of the state of Ohio, amounting to $1,332,025, and of the state of New Jersey, amounting to $382,615.

It Will Bo Taken Sunday, But Will Not Compare With the American. {.Copyrighted, 1831, by the New fork Associated Press.) London, April S.—Tjie census of the United Kingdom will be taken Sunday. The country is divided into 35,000 districts. The system pursued widely differs from the American system. The otmsus takers sim ply inquire, regarding each person, age, sex, condition with reference to marriage, pro fession, how employed, where born and wbat physical defect there may be debarring tbe person from work. No attempt will be made to obtain the mass of valuable cocial data given in Amerioa. Tbe census ar rangements in England enable early returns to be made of tbe population, but the re sult will be most beggarly when contrasted with the magnificent United States survey. The Irish census alone will include a state* meat of religions profession. It is estimated tnat tbs total population of England and Wales is 29,707,619; of Soot land. 4,170,547: of Ireland, 4,770,127. EUROPE’S PEACE. Official Advices to England Point to Its Continuance. Copyrighted, 1891, by the New York Associated Piets.) London. April 3.— The foreign office ad vices from both Berlin and Paris are more hopeful tor a continuance of European peace. German semi-official papers have been authorized to-night to deny tbe report of the transfer of Russian troops to tbe Galician frontier and to mini mize the importance of the czar’s decorating President Carnot. Nevertheless the uneasiness in official cir cles here remains the same. The govern ment Is reported to be in po-sesssou of in formation received througn tbe Bt.
