THHEATKNED WITH DEATH. NEW OIII.KA.VS, March 17.—W. S. Parkerson, who led the crowd against the jail, said lie only performed a painful but necessary duty last Saturday, lie denies that there was any race prejudice in his action, and says he was the best friend the Italians had Saturday. One word from Mm after the crowd grew exeitcd would have led to a massacre on a large scule, but he constantly urged that only the men proven guilty and acquitted be the sole victims of the public vengeance. Under the circumstances he thought it ungrateful for the Italians to threaten him. The cause of this remark was the reception of the following letter by tyr. Parkerson: "You a domed man are Qod Amity can't sovo you. We have sworn our comrades you murdered and wo will kill you and your famll you will bo potscn the stlleto will do for the wrest."

The letter bore no signature save a sort of seal composed of skull, crossbones and blood. Mayor Shakespeare and Mr. Wickliffc have received letters of like import. Mr. Parkerson was asked if he did not regret his action, lie replied: "Not a bit. This was a great emergency, greater than has ever happened in New York, Cincinnati or Chicago. While the Malta oonfined Itself to killing Us own members we Jld not resort to vtolenoe. Dut Hennessy's killing struck ut the very root of American institutions. The Intimidation of the Mafla and corruptlon of our juries are to bo met only with strong measures. Moreover, I recognize no power above the poople. Under our constitution the people are the sovereign authority, and when the courts—thoir agents—fail to carry out the law the authority is relegated back to the people who gave it. In this case I look upon It that we represented the people—not the people of tho whole United States, perhaps, but the people of Louisiana. This la a thing with which the United States has nothing to do. It Is a question of state government entirely, since the state controls its own municipalities. I apprehend no trouble unless from fedoral authonties. It Is urged that these men were the subjeots of foreign potentates, but I undorstood that they ware just dumped here and that their own governments were glad enough to got rid of them."

The Italian consul, Sig. Pasquale Corte, does not at all agree with Parkerson as to the commendable necessity of his action. The consul said: "I don't wish to fasten the blame on anybody. Mr. Parkerson Is a young man of good family and high character, and In doing what' he did he probably thought he was right. But I do Bay that grave responsibility rests with the governor, the mayor and the 9herlD. Only Ave of the men not killed and two of those killed were unnaturalized Italians. All the rest were naturalized. 1 demand a change of venue for the trial of the others to a part of the country where no prejudico exists. I demand also, In the meantime, that they be kept In a safe placc."

Mayor Shakespeare, whom the Italian consul as well as the country at large is disposed to hold responsible for the violation of municipal law, makes no bones about his own feeling in the matter. He is an impulsive, irrascible man, middle aged, of the Sir Anthony Absolute type, with a genius for autocracy. He declares bluntly that Parkerson and his associates did just right. He said: "I was at my office In good time on Saturday. was down at 11:30 18 Is my usual time. I didn't know anything at all about the movement to break into the prison on Friday night, and I wAs not at the meeting. In fact, I was dining then with Gov. Nleholls and Maj.-Gen. Glynn. The next morning when I saw the call of course I knew something was going to bappen." "Where were you during the riot!" "Attending to my private business." "Did you take any measure to prevent the tragedy!" "No." "Don't you regret itf" "No, sir," cried the mayor, belligerently "I am an American citizen and I am not afraid of the devil. These men deserved hanging. We expected disagreement and had made arrangements for retrial. When I heard of the verdict I was frozen to my scat." "Couldn't you have punished them by lawful meanst" "They were punlshod by lawful means. The men who did it wore all peaceable and lawabiding. The Italians had taken the law Into their own hands, and we had to do the same. It was what they did in Italy. The Mafia got too strong (or them, and what happened! The sovereign took hold of it—the king. Hero the sovereign also took hold of It—tho people."

The report having been circulated that Consul Corte had been heard to express his approval of the actions of the citizens on Saturday so far as some of the slain were concerned, he was questioned about it, and replied that he had said that he hoped justice would be meted out to the murderers of Hennessy. He was positive that some of the slain were innocent, but as to the others he would not express himself. The Italian subjects who were slain were Monasterio, Marchesi, Trahina and Comitez, but he thought the last named had taken out naturalization papers. During last Dcccraber Consul Corte reocived a letter from the Mafla in which they threatened him with dire consequences if he did not work in their interests and for the release of the accused. It also repudiated the kiug of Italy and was replete with utterances of a very disrespectful nature. It was signed by some fictitious name.

A clerk in the office of the registrar of voters said that on Saturday evening he had examined the registration books for the purpose of ascertaining the allegiance of the men executed by the people that day, and that he found that every one of tliem was a registered voter of the city of New Orleans. This puts a new face on the international question.

O'Malley, the detective, for whose blood the mob yelled itself hoarse, has not yet been found, and is still in hiding. The signs at his office have been torn from the walls and doors and litter the passage way outside of the office.

The distriot attorney has entered a nolle pros, as to all the indictments pending in section of the criminal district oourt against the Italians implicated in the Hennessy assassination. This releases diaries Matranga,

Incardona and tlie Marchesi boy. Tlia indictments h\ section A, .ludgc Marr's division, stiff hold Sunzerri, 1'atorno, •Win Caruso, Natalo and Pictzo

The grand jury will meet soon and tl.e charges of acccptiog bribes which have been brought ngftinst the jurors, some of whom have left the city, will be thoroughly investigated. Damaging evidence is said to be in the possession of the prosecution against some of thd jurors who sat on the case. The penalty is several years' imprisonment in case of conviction, and some of the jurors may get landed behind the bars.

Judge Haker, who presided during the great trial, declines to express an opinion concerning the occurrences of Saturday and it is not known yet whether or not lie or his associate, Judge Marr, will order an investigation by the grand jury. The attorney general of the state says the law officers will decide if tlit" laws have been broken, and then, if possible, the responsible parties will be brought to justice. The sentiment here, however, is so overwhelming in approval of the action of the leaders that it would bo impossible to convict anyone. The chief of police says very truly that he cannot arrest the whole community.

After escaping lynching on Saturday, Joseph Provenzano, whom the Mafla have wanted to get out -of the way for some time, 'makes public a confession made to him by Jim Caruso, killed by the mob of Saturday. Caruso was initiated to the Mafla by Matranga, who was acquitted by the jury and released from prison. Caruso said lie only attended one meeting that he went in, and atranga held up a skull in his left hand and a dirk in his right. He was then sworn with uplifted hands to abide the decision of the order. He said he was informed after taking the obligation that the oblect was to kill those who were against the Mafia gang. The way it was done was to select the victim and invite hira to a dinner and afterwards do him up. Caruso said afterwards that he did not like to commit murder, but was willing to rob, so he went to thn.Italian church and swore before the altar that he would have nothing more to do with tho Mafia. Afterwards, however, he was frightened back, with the result of losing his life. Caruso also said that Bocci and Politz belonged to the order. Many Italians who were under the Mafia ban are delighted at Saturday's uprising, and say that the Mafla will now be broken up. Even the Italian consul received a letter threatening him in case he did not assist in getting the accused off.

The Italian priest here. Father Manoritta, says that he is informed by a friend of his, whose name he refuses to give, that the Mafia society is 860 strong, eighty of them being escaped convicts from Italy. He says that the Italian consul Is fully aware of the facts.

An Interesting Interview with the President.

THE WORK OF THE LAST CONGRESS.

SI A XV TOPICS UK VIKWKI).

NEW YORK, March 17.—A Now York paper prints uuder a Washington date a three-column interview with President Harrison, in which the work of the administration and congress is reviewed and the principal political topics uppei

IIIOMI

in the pub­

lic mind are discussed. It says that Wesidenl iliirrisnji enters on the last half of his term with great confidence in the success of the republican party. He is remtrdud in republican circles at Washington as the chief of the party, to whom will be offered without serious contest the nomination for a second term.

The president was first asked what he thought of the work-of the Fiftyfirst congress. lie said: "In inuny ways it has been a most remarkable congress Its work has been oT the most Important character. The resu is one that will stand well In history, and oue which tho country will appr ve. The principle o! majority rulo has also been assorted In a marked degree, and adherence to that rule is in my Judgment the one principle which will preserve the institutions of our country."

The president was asked if he thought the republicans would make the issue involved in the election bill prominent in future campaigns. The president said: "You will find therein tho same prlnclplo—a guarantee of the rule of the majority. It will not do for the people of any section to say that they must be let alone. Unit It is a local question to be settled by the states whether wo shall huve honest elections or not. This might bo satd II It were not (or the fact tliat tho prlnclplo Is at Issue In national elections and that tho inequality upon the floor of the house of representatives is so sreat that it cannot be ig nored. Whether it shall become a dominant issue In the Immediate campaign or In the near future Is a question for lhc public to detormlne. It depends upon liuw much the public consolence Is quickcnrted regarding tho prlnclplo of right lu a questimi of whether tho northern part ot tho country will consent to such inequality of representation in the administration of national affairs. It Isn't a question of sectionalism. It is question of principle and of bu^lnes!, honesty.'"

The president, was asked if lie. was pleased with the aid given by congress to the shipping interests of the country with a view to the carrying out tho reciprocity policy of the administration. He said: "Yes, I am much pleased. What was passed by congress was about all I thought was practical and all that coulil be safely accomplished as a preliminary step. In attempting anything new It Is important to be conservative and to avoid extremes. I have always tho-.i{• b-M to begin with the steamship lines. Tiey afford swift and rapid transit. They have il cii^vin^ of the government malls and arc impoi .ai.t elements in bringing us In touch with muntrlrs with which we are seeking to Iw-rovc uur trade relations. Tho importance of thi.-. shown In the enlarged commerce which noways follows the eslahllshtnciit of new steamer connection between different countries. Whether It will be prr.etle.il to go beyond tho steamer lines and civ. nid to the sailing vossols will be for the future to determine. I am not prepared tn «aJ- whether this will be wise. The step thus far taken Is quite within the limits of u.ir present resources. Senator Frye noted the other day tho fact that our revonue from foreign malls providos to day a surplus of over $|.M»,030. We do not oare to make money out of cur postal service, and this is a sum that can properly be used for the encouragem

ol quirk means of commu­

nication with the south. The theory of the postal service is not a money-making one. It is this principle of extension of the service which justifies the government in making expenditures in the direction that no private enterprise could afford to go."

The president was asked about the new navy and the criticisms which had been directed against the suras of money expended upon it. The president said in reply to this: "I am perfectly willing to concede that the navies of to-day may be useless fifty years from now. That has nothing to do with tho case. I do not think t|i:it even the humblest owner of the smallest house would hesitate to close his d.:or against intruders rather than to wail for the possible development of. some future style of hlngo, which would enable him lo close his door with more eoonomy and dlspatob. The truth of It is that the establishment of a navy puts a nation upon a respcctable'footing and Is the bost guarantee against the possibility of any war. In other words, it is Insurance and should bo so regarded."

The president was asked if he didn't think that the turifT issue for the present was ended so far as the republican party was concerned. The president said: "Most docldely I think there should be no more agitation upon this subject until tho McKlnloy bill has been fairly tried. There is no reason why its workings should be prejudiced by malevolent predictions. The bill has been already long enough In operation to indicate that much that was charged against It is untrue. A period should be permitted to pass long enough to test fairly the character of tho measure. Then If It can bo shown by such fair and Impartial trial that It has faults let them be eliminated."

The president was asked if he did not hold to much the same opinion concerning financial legislation. He said: "I do not think that we need any more financial legislation for the presont. What we have, too, should have its period of trial. I do not see any present or near futuro necessity of further financial legislation. I have favored silveroolnage up to a point where I thought it could be safely used. It is not always easy to determine exactly the danger point. It Is best, however, to be conservative, and I think we have gone about as far for the present In the direction of free oolnage of silver as can be dono for tho best Interests of silver. To go further might result In depreciating it."

The president was asked about the reciprocity policy of the administration. He said: "I have been engaged ror the last few days in considering various subjects of treaty under this policy. I have been doing what I could to urge along and develop the possibilities which I see In this new extension of our trade. I believe that this policy' will result In great good."

At the close of the talk he was asked what he thought of the future of the republican party. The president said that there was already a strong reaction in favor of the party and that the future would show that it was upon the side of good government and modern progress and well merited the oonUdencc of the country.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

17.—In the chamber of

deputies on Monday the Marquis di Rudini, the Italian premier, replying to a question on the New Orleans tragedy, said that I'resident Harrison had recognized the right of Italians iu the. United States to protection from the authorities, and that he had expressed profound regret at the occurrence and hud charged the governor of Louisiana to guard tho Italian residents of New Orleans and to bring the assassins to justice. The premier added that the United States minister here had called upon liim in order to convey I'resident Harrison's regrets to the Italian government. Mr. 1'orter said that he -"trusted the explanations he had furnished would draw even closer the friendly relations existing between Italy and the United States. Sig. Hreganzc, who had announced his intention of interpellating the government on the New Orleans matter, said that note had been taken of the minister's statement. Sig. Ferrais urged that indemnities should he demanded for the families of the victims.

RO.MK, March 17.—The I'opolo Romano, referring to the New Orleans tragedy, says that, "relying on the foresight of the American authorities, and out of regard for a sincerely friendly power, Italy has refrained from seeding an iron-clad to the mouth of the Mississippi."

The Capitan Fracassa says: "The weak in Aincriea are at the mercy of a ferocious, bloody populace and are tortured and murdered in daylight."

The Don Chisciottc Delia Mancia remarks that "Italy ought to demand that instant measures be taken to protect the Italian colony in New Orleans," adding, however: "It is just also to recognize the fact that similar incidents would not occur if the towns on the Atlantic littoral were not infested with the ex-galley slaves of Europe."
