Church and Another Building Destroyed by Fire esterday Woman liurned. Syracuse. N. Y March 15. At 5 o'clock this morning, before the firemen had left the disasters of the previous day, tire broke out in the St James Episcopal Church in this city, and, having destroyed the structure, spread to and destroyed the McClennan Hats next adjoining, owned by P. B. McClennan. The Misses Curtin, two sisters living in the Hats, were taken down on ladders after air other avenues of escape had been cut off. It is believed one woman was burned. The Standard Watch Company occupied the whole of the ground floor of the McClennan Building, and their loss is a heavv one, amounting to between $25,000 and $40,000. The McClennan Block was built about three years ago. It was valued nt about 30,000, and was insured far 818,000. The superstructure of the church cost about S'J.OOO, and the building and furnishings were insured for 83.000. It is estimated that the ' loss by lire in Syracuse in the last twentyfour hours will aggregate over 1,000,000. Other Fires. Detroit, Mich., March 15. Fire at Fowlerville, Mich., to-day, destroyed the postoffice, express ollice, opra-hnuso and a large nnmber of business blocks and dwellings.

Wew York Evening Post, Dem. The news is sent from Kansas that the State Legislature has finished al legislation for the session save appropriation bills, and that "its work has been a die tinct disappointment to the Farmers' Alliance, who came to Topeka intending to institute all sorts of reform, but return to their constituents without having accomplished any of the most radical of them." Among the reforms which failed to become laws, because of theopposition of the Republican majority in the Senate, were: The bill to reduce railway fares to 2 cents a mile, the .minimum fruight bill, the mortgage-bond and security-tax bill, the waiver of-ap-praisement bill and the bill reducing the salaries of county and State officers. It will be interesting to see what the effect of this failure will be upon the politics of the State whether it will add to the strength of the Alliance movement, and still further "weaken the Republicans, or whether it will hasten the inevitable dissolution of the Alliance. All the measures which were deteated deserved their fate. Had they becomo laws they would have done nothing but harm to the interests they were intended to benefit, for the worst suOerers from them would have been ths farmers. The farmers may not be able to take this view of them, and may insist upon holding the Kepubhcans to account foxjtheir opposition, but they cannot hope for relief through legislation for two years, since the Legislature meets only biennially. The chances are that their movement will have runs its course before that time has passed. Sir Charles Tapper's Ignorance. Cos to a JournaL ' Sir Charles Tuj.per betrays an astonishing amount of misinformation, for a statesman, when he points to our treaty with Brazil as conclusive evidence that Mr. Blaine is ready to make treaties along the lines of limited reciprocity. If Sir Charles would study the reciprocity clauses of the MoKinley bill, under which the Brazilian treaty was drawn, he would discover that the limitations of the arrangement are clearly prescribed, and that they are of a sort which cannot apply to Canada, for the reason that she has L.one of tho products to sell which are specified therein. Should be Settled at Once. Kansas City 8tar. The constitutionality of the law creating a new State Board of Agriculture in Indiana is under discussion. The present board has decided to hold on and to resist the establishment of a new board, and they are sustained in this action by the Governor. This point ought to be promptly settled in the interest of the growing wheat crop, and certainly before the farmers begin to plow for corn. Nowadays harmony in politics is a very essential element to the success of agriculture. Cremation In Iowa. 'Daventort, la.. March 15.

In this supreme hour of our vindication let ns be united in the name of God. "Death to the assassin! Death to those tbat allowed such a butchery!"' Following are copies of two cable messages that passed between this city and Italy, relating to the lynching: Rudlnl, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Rome: The Italian pres of New York, unanimous in xepreseutintf the colony, notify you ot the massacre, at New Orleans, of several Italians already acquitted by un American jury, and demand intervention by the home government. Italian Press. The answer was as follows: Rome, March 15. Carlo Bsrsottl, Editor of the ProirresBo lull-Americano, New York: Your telegram received. I have already demanded from the federal government energetio and prompt measures. Rujdim. The Cristofore Colombo to-day says, editorially, that the State of Louisiana must answer for the murder of the eleven Italians to the Italian colony, and that the federation of the United States is responsible for the same murders to Italy. The question is an international one. The newspaper expresses the hope tbat the Italian Foreign Office will do its dutv. The following mcst important portions of the editorial on the New Orleans tragedy, in the Pregesso Italo Americano, the "leading Italian newspaper of this city, gives an idea of the feeling of the Italian colony in the matter: ; "We believe that never in the history ol nations has such a. horrible tragedy been committed, not even among the most barbarous people. In what world are we living! Where, oh where, is the much boasted reverence of the Ainericap for the constitutional laws. of his country? Why is the verdict of a jury in a capital process a farce, a joke, a child's play, that thev should make beasts of themselves and beasts of others? A11 narratives confirm the fact of the tacit acquiescence or connivance of prominent citizens to carry out tho tragedy, therefore the responsibility and the shame npon Americans is .so much thfc greater: therefore the most severe roust be the account and explanation asked and demanded in the name of justire: justice and truth and human inviolability: in the name of hospitality and of common rights, in the name of constitutional franchises, in the name of international treaties and protections." Views of an Italian Vice-Consul. Kansas City, Mo:, March 15. Jerome Fedili, Italian vice-consul here, said to-day: 'Tho lynching in New Orleans will causa

tronble, I am afraid, between Italy and this country. Do the people of America think the indiscriminate killing of our people adjudged innocent by an American jury right? What would they think of the bombardment of a defenseless town by our navy, which, you will admit, is in good condition!" The city market here is run by Italians and they are feverish with excitemeut. In the Italian qnarter, where there is a population of about 2.500 Italians, groups of men were seen standing about' the streets to-day, having the newspapers translated and read to them. The Sentiment at rittaburg. Pittsburg, Pa., March 15. The large colony of Italians here became greatly excited at the news from New Orleans, and several society meetings took place to-day.

There has been no meeting of Italians here on the events of Saturday in New Orleans. The advent of Sicilians in Cincinnati is of recent date.

The Italians of Boaton will hold a meeting at 193 Hanover street Monday night to protest against "the unjustifiable outrage against the Italians residing in America, perpetrated at New Orleans on Saturday, March 14." TILE FEELING ABROAD. .

Italians Thirsting for Reprisals World's Fair May Be Boycotted. ' Special to tho Inlauspolls JournaL London, March 15. A dispatch from Home says that the news of the massacre of the Italian prisoners at New Orleans did not become generally known in tbat city nntil this morning. It created a profound sensation, and cablegrams have been passing between the Cabinet and the Italian minister at Washington. The general feeling is one of the utmost indignation and thirst for reprisals in some form. An En-, gliah visitor who was mistaken for an American had narrow escape from being mobbed. It is expected that the subject will be brought up in the Chamber of Deputies. In the talk on the street and in public places strong protests were nttered against, any representation of Italy at the coming exhibition. ' Count Kasponi. of the Italian legation in Paris, expressed himself to-day in very strong terms on what he called the cruel massacre of his conntrynien. He said Italy could not afford to let such an outrage on humanity go without redress, and that it was a stain on the American people tbat could never be effaced. He Added that in his own personal opinion it ended all prospect of Italy taking a part in the Chicago exhibition. The Count was very excited. He also said that he had no donbt that if the men had been auilty they would have been convicted as the jury would never have dared to acquit them. Among Italian residents in London there is much excitement on the subject, and the slaughter is fiercely denounced. There is some talk of a mass-meeting of Italians in this city to protest against the course of the authorities. ancLto request King .Humbert to demand satisfaction. The Klforma, of Home, denounces the New Orleans lynching as an outrage, aud Says it is a disgrace to the United States that such acts are possible within its border. The London News, commenting on the lynching of the Italians in New Orleans, says: "Italy's indignation is shared by the whole civilized world. In nearly all such cases in America the disease corruption is at the root of the evil. The Americans are at once the most patient and the - most impatient people in the world. When they, have grown tired of any grievance they move to their revenge with the swiftness of a hawk. The people of New Orleans could have soon discovered which of the jurymen in the Italian trial had fingered the murderers' gold, and it wonld have been better to have kept the jail intact for thorn."

WOUNDED MEN MASSACRED Commander of the Loyal Troops and Other Chilian Officers Shot by Eebelc. Yesterday's Political Meetings in Ireland Attended by the Usual dumber of Broken Deads Arrival of Parnell 'g Delegation, . BARBAROUS WARFARE. Commander of the Government Troops and Other "Wounded Officers Massacred. London,- March 15. The Times has a dispatch from Santiago giving an official version of the recent battle in Chili. From this it appears that Colonel Kobles, who commanded the government troops on the 6th inst., being short of provisions, rashly abandoned a strong position on Mount ebastopol, and with 1,200 infantry, twentyfive .cavalry and a few guns, attacked a force of 2,500 rebels. At a critical moment the enemy, by a decoy truce for a parley, opened Ore at close quarters, killing or wounding two-thirds of the government troops. Colonel Kobles was shot in the foot early in the battle. He secured another mount after the bullet had been extacted from his wound, but he was again wounded in the side, and was placed in an ambulance. The rebels captured the ambulance and their loader threatened to shoot all who were with the wpunded man unless Colonel Kobles was indicated to him. An attendant pointed out Colonel Kobles,. whereupon the Colonel was tired at by the rebels, being riddled with eleven balls, besides being hacked with bayonets. A general massacre of wounded officers ensued. Of the wounded men 264 were allowed to proceed to Valparaiso, but permission was refused to send the body of Colonel Kobles there. The loss of the insurgents is estimated at 800 killed and 400 wounded. An account of the battle cannot be procured at present. President Balamceda admits the grarity of the disaster, which places the province of Tarapaca entirely in the hands of the insurgents. The President says, however, that the government has S0.000 troops at its disposal. The government also has an ample supply of f nnds. The future scene of operations will probably be nearer Valparaiso. THE IRISH CAMPAIGN. Yesterday's Meetings Attended by the Usual Encounters Between the Factions. , London, March 15. Parnell had an enthusiastic 'reception in Gaiway this afternoon. To prevent him from being saultsd by a band, which had made all preparations to salute him with blare of trumpets and beat of drum, the McCarthyites broke into the band-room at Cloyne and stole the instruments. In his speech Mr. Parnell said that Ireland was in much the same position as in 1880, when the unreasonable element in the party opposed him because he supported the government, railway measures. He believed then in getting all the money he could far Ireland and acted on the belief. Parnell severely criticised the ecclesiastical authorities for their attempt to take the direction of Irish affairs out of the hands of the people, and he denounced what he called Mr. Gladstone's elfort to dictate to Ireland. At an anti-Parnellite meeting held at Newry to-day there was a scene of great disorder, the Parnellites turning out in strong force and doinff their utmost to break np the meeting. About 5,000 persons were present at the meeting. The disorder began when a series of resolutions denouncing Parnell in the strongest terms was put to the meeting. The resolutions were received by the Parnell men with hoots, and groans, and lively personal encounters between opponents and supporters of Parnell took place in every direction. The police wero frequently compelled to interfere and undertake the work: of separating combatants, using their clubs freely the while.
