O'Malley, the private detective who figured so prominently in the Hennessy assassination case and who would have been lynched if he had been found after the killing of the Italian prisoners on the 14th of March, or, for that matter, any time within a week thereafter, causcd a sensation Friday ljy quietly walking into the criminal court and surrendering himself to answer the indictments against him. O'Malley was accompanied by .his attorney, Lionel Adams, and by .lames Harry, a well-known local politician. When the first surprise was over Mr. Adams addressed the court and said his client desired to give bond for his uppearanee to answer the charge against him. There were three indictments against O'Mallev one for abetting the attempted bribery of talesmen in the Mennessv ease, another for perjury charged in the indictment to have been committed in 18S2, and the third for perjurv. also alleged to have been committed in 18S2.

Judge Marr fixed the bond in each cast at S10,000. tlie required bail was furnished and O Mailey .was released from custody. During the proceedings the long-looked-for detective was probably the coolest man in the courtroom, lie was carefully dressed, and if he was at all agitated there were no external evidences of it.

There was much discussion during the day a-s to the steps that would be taken by the committee of safety now that O'Malley had disobeyed its mandate and returned to the city. It was reported that a meeting of the committee would be held at once to determine what line of action would be taken. But this report ha.* not been confirmed at nightfall. It is probable that there will be no meeting and no further action taken against the detective, and that he will be allowed to answer to the law for the crimes charged against him. This view is taken by the afternoon States, against which O'Malley has pending a SI0,(100 damage suit for slander. The States says:

However juki the renenuneni ol Uie people mny li'ivo bc aiMiust ilils man—unci we bellevo IV WHS entirely just—hi is now in tliehuiida ot Hie law iint! he must oe accorded tulr trial not a hair of his head must bo leuehetl savo by tho hand e( the law. The.states has certainly good reasons tor entertaining strong feelings of resentment toward O'Malley, but the righteous vengeance ol lite people was finished on the 14th of March the rule of the mob is at an end the laws huve resumed their course and we now demand for this person, as wo domunded it for him even on the (lav of tho tragedy, a full, free and fair hearing and trial in the courts of the land."

O'Malley said Friday evening that when lie got ready to give his story to the public it would causc a number of people now joining in the cry against him to hide behind their doors. As to the parish prison affair he said: "Those men were innocent and the people made a big mistake, for which 1 hope they will properly apologize to the widows and orphuns hereafter. Kacb one of the nlnelceu men made a statement to mo, which I investigated and reported upon. I found that all of them told the truth with one oxoeptlon. Polieu. All this talk about suborning witnesses and bribing jurors is untrue. You heard the witnesses and, so help me God. 1 uever approached any of them with reference to what testimony they were to give. The closest the grand Jury has (Ol to me is to Indict me upon matters that happened eight yeurs ago."

WASHINGTON,

April

4.—There

is no

money in the hands of the state department available for paying Italy any indemnity and this may lead to another international misunderstanding. In Secretary Blaine's letter he spoke guardedly of an indemnity, but in Di Rudini's reply Italy notes the fact that the right of indemnity is conceded. As a matter of fact, there was no such concession. The department is without funds to permit an assurance of indemnity, and all it can do is to urge the next congress to grant an indemnity.

It is said that the president and his advisers are very much gratified over the receipt of the latest message from Premier di Kutlini, which was a subject of consideration at the cabinet meeting Friday. They arc inclined to think that it indicates an early settlement of the diplomatic war.

The milder tone assumed by Di ltudini in his message, to Marquis Imperial is, it is considered here, due to tho clear statement of our government's position by Secretary lilaine, supplemented by a very able presentation of the case at Home by Mr. Porter, tho United States minister there. .u

If the government considers the question of indemnity inquiry will no doubt be made into the character of the a! leged subjects of Italy killed in New Orleans, whether or not they were compelled to leave their native land under a promise never to return and were compensated to leave, etc. Should it be found that these men left their country for their country's good this government would hardly consent to compensate their families.

It is reported that at the cabinet meeting a letter was read from cither Baron Fava or the Marquis Imperial! intimating that the recall of the minister was really but a leave of absence. Baron Fava is still ill in his bed ut his residence and could not be seen in reference to the report. Nor could the marquis be found.

rile attorney general had an interview with the president, one result of which was that the former at once telegraphed the I liited Stutcs attorney for Louisiana to inake a prompt and thorough investigation of all matters connected with the lynching, what the state authorities are doing, anil what, if anything, cun bo done to hasten their action in fringing the lynchers to justice. The district attorney is instructed to report as early as possible. What will be done when the Italian government learns that th« New Orleans grand jury will do nothing remains to be seen. Whether liudini will lie satisfied with a mere and unsuccessful effort to prosecute the lynchers is the next question. That he will be confronted with this situation nobody doubts. Not a soul here believes that the local authorities will even indict the alleged culprits, much less punish them.

LONDON,

April 4.—Current opinion

here is setting more steadily against the action of the Marquis di liudini in trying to force the hands of Mr. lilaine In the mattcr of the lynching of Italians in New Orleans. The leading high-class weeklies devote considerable attention to an analysis of the position and generally discuss the alfair from the standpoint of the. United States constitution.

The Spectator holds that "serious thinking Americans will admit the imperfection of the constitution and that they are hound remedy the tiefeet, all the more because there is a small chance of their being compelled to remedy it."

The Economist says "The tnarquis di Rudiui and his government art* in a eul de sac. The.v cannot sit still, they cannot light and they cannot obtain the redress they want without fighting. Italy'sallies will never permit her t,o rislc a war that would disturb Europeai? combinations. The United States holds the exceptional position that it cannot be conquered by any power or probablo combination of powers, even if all Europe were allied and made the attempt. Hut the United States also cannot conquer any great power."

LONDON,

April 4.—A report prevails

in political clubs that Lord Salisbury, on the instigation of Marquis di Kudiui, will offer to mediate for the. adjustment of the difference between Italy and the United States. A high foreign olliee otlicial. when asked to state the views of the government, said the question bail not been discussed. lie admitted that, a communication had been sent to Sir .lulian I'auneefote to report on the question, especially as affecting the positing ol British subjects.

Report*.

UNDISMAVKD BT THE MILITIA. MOUNT I'I.KAHAKT,

Pa., April

4.—

Quiet reigns throughout the coke region. No outbreak has occurred since the fatal raid Thursday morning and. while the situation is still grave, tlie presence of the militia has had a reassuring effect upon tlie people. Two regiments are now upon the ground fully equipped and prepared for action. The Eighteenth regiment with over .lOO men reached here shortly after midnight, and the Tenth regiment with nearly as many more men arrived upon the scene little later. Adjutant General McClelland and IJrigadier General Wiley are in command and will remain as long as tli^re is any danger of another raid.

The funeral of the victims will take place Suturdaj'. Peter Wise, master workman of the Knights of Labor, says the entire coke country will turn out and that about that time the people must take care, lie says the burial of the dead will furnish renewed incentive for the activity of the living.

A prominent, leader of the Slav element stated that a majority of the crowd out on Thursday morning was there under protest: that the American, English and Irish leaders went to Standard and forced the Slavs to join them under threats of punishment.

Notwithstanding the prevailing quiet, wise ones say the trouble is not ended. It is the calm before the storm. The leaders are fighting for position and power the men are fighting to main' tain them in their positions and for what they claim is principle. The leaders of the district are all busy at the inquest. They and their attorney, .lames S. Beacon, are watching the. proceedings with unceasing vigil. They believe they see iu the tactics of prosecuting the deputies and managers a great coup anil they will pursue it to the end. This work, however, will claim only a portion of their attention: there is other work to be done.

While the troops in this neighborhood will command peace, other places are unprotected. With the strikers" knowledge of the by-ways and short cuts of the country they can reach a point and complete a raid even before the cumbersome militia could move.

The dead foreigners will be buried to-day with much pomp and ceremony. They are called martyrs. Ten thousand men will follow tlie coflins to their graves. Secretary Parker has issued notices to every worker in the region to attend the obsequies ut Scottdale. The bodies, followed by workmen from the Mount Pleasant branch railroad, will go to Scottdale by a special train. Eighteen cars have been ordered for this purpose. At Scottdale the workmen will be joined by others from every plant in the region. The funeral will call together a larger number of men than ever gathered together in this region. The procession will proceed to the cemetery, where all the leaders will make orations, the character of which may be easily imagined.

CoL Hawkins, in command of tho Tenth regiment, says that so far as his investigations go Capt. Lour was per fectly justified in firing on the strikers at Morewood, and that he should strongly advise that the militia be kept in the region until the strike is over and quiet restored.

Gen. Wiley detailed Private Kcllar, of the Eighteenth regiment, who is a proficient linguist, to circulate among the Hungarians and other strikers and learn their moods atul what, if any, schcincs were on foot. Friday he reported to Gen. Wiley as follows: "There Is KOIIIR to LU trouble between tills and Monday. Tlio strikers are all indignant because tlie soldiers have been sent hero, but don't seem to (ear them. 1 was In two bouses whore they threatened to attaok me until I spoko to them In their own tongue. In ono house I saw flvo guns and a number of revolvers. In tho other I saw threu guns and several revolvers. Five out of every ten of these men have servod in the armies of tho old country, and they know what soldiers are. They say that the soldiers who have been brought here are simply workmen like thomselves, and will net luterefere with their movements. In one of their papers that I ploked up was an article saying they need not be afraid of the mllltlomen, who wero novices and did not know any more about warfare than the strikers themselves. THey also know about all the members of tho Tenth regiment and 1 heard them ridiculing them. 8o fat «s I have discovered there 1B going to be trouble, ani It will come within tho next two days. All of the Hungarians ore In a dangerous mood over tho killing of their fellow workmen at Morewood, whloh they olalm was entlrely unJustlHable."
