A BRIEF UPWARD SPIT

Followed by a Decline in Wheat Prices. Troubles of French Houses Cause a Decline. Afterward Prices Take on a Respectable Bulge. Corn Flighty With a Very Narrow Trade.

CHICAGO, March 16. The visible supply of crain as reported for the board of trade is as follows: Wheat. 22.900,0(0. decrease, 2.V.0(iO; coro, 2,270.10, increase. 93.000; oats, 2,816,000, decrease. -Jri.OcO; rye, 416,000, increase, 23.000; barley, l.c6!,(40k decrease, 194.0CO. All of the early indications were for lower price for wheat. The indications held good for some time, but the market finally improved sharply. The esrly selling had been overdone. There was a brief little spurt upward at the outset, which was due to the higher prices prevailing at Liverpool, The spurt was soon over ad values weak because of receipts and because of a decline in French rentes. The decline in the latter murines, it was thought, verified Saturday's reports :t financial trouble. .Later it waa found that the lower quotatiou wrs due to the fact that the interest had been deducted and that values of the rentes were rra ly higher than on Saturday. This was therefore turned into a bu.lish argument. When it became known that there was respectable decrease in the visible supply, that the country elevator stocks northwest had decreased heavily and that the early short tellers were anxious to get out, there was quite a littl- advance in values. May wheat opened at $1.01, sold to $1.011.01;, off to Sl.OOJi' and then bulged to Si.Ol'j'. Official closiuir cables quoted Paris and Berlin lower and caused a reaction hre to $1,007 for May. Foreigners were free sellers of July wheat in New York. The largo firms here seemed to bave "scalping" orders early, as they were on both sides of the market at vsrious times. During the bulge in prices l'.yan bought 5o0,000 ba. and Duuhani and Driver each bought about half that amount. The London correspondent of Kennett, Hopkins & Co. writes as follows under date of March 7: "Wheat markets strong and advancing, the advance being more conspicuous in forward cargoes than in spot wheat, as millers only pay advance asked when forced to buy. There are continued and Increased reports of damage on the continent from Holland, Belgium and parts of Germany. Fears are also entertained of darnace having been caused by the severe frosts in Bulgaria and Russia, but these we receive witli doubts. The repons from Spain are very bad; those from Italy and Hungary very good. Of course the damage done in France is of most importance. The minimum required to be reseeded is 3,5' 0,0 0 acres, which is about 20 per cent of the toiaL The teed for this amount would seriously encroach on the foreign wheat already bought, and there is great risks of spring sowings in France not coming to maturity. Some of the replowed lands will bo sown in other crops, barley and beets. Victoria crop turns out a bumper, possibly 10.u00.0u0 bushels for export. Corn was flighty; the trade was quite narrow. It was an easy matter to advance values, as few cared to go short of the market. This was, of eonrs", taken advantage of. Bart-lett-Frarer, who claimed that they had old more corn to New England points than at any t me ia five months, attempted to buy a little Mar. There was none for sale. The market which was previously inclined to drag, made a sharp jump fora-d.- May started at COJsc, sold to eOJaC. to 6-;j'o. and eased back to C2c. Oats followed corn. May started at 507'c, old to U)c and np to51c. The market was quite nervous. Provisions fluctuated in a Lively manner over an extremely wide range. All of this range was upward from the opening figure. Severs were timid and shorts were trylog to buy whenever values were advancing, but the trade at large ran quickly from liberal &!!erngs of product. May pork started at 110.8., sold at tll.2.o3 toil 1.05, up to $1L.V and off before the close to $11.1 j. McCormick & Co. started the early bulge by liberal purchases around J10.90. I.ard and ribs were as Strong relatively aa pork. The leading futures ranged as follows: 1 (. I Goslce, TTnasT Mar. .. May. Coa09

The Condition of Nebraska Farmers Shown by n. former Inrilanlan. To the Editor Sir: The drouth of last summer took all of our crops and we have no seed to sow or plant and nothing to feed our teams with if we had. Tbere are at least fifty families in our township that have not the necessaries of life, not even the second sack of flour in their house, and no way of get ling it. Our state legislature has appropriated $100,000 and our gtate officers have sent around to the different county officers to see how many persons there were in each county needing feed wheat and corn. Our county ollicers sent back word to the legislature that tbc county oi Buffalo waa able to take care of itself. I will admit all of that to be eo, but all the wheat, corn and oats that were raised or shipped into the county (arid there is plenty of boih) ia locked up in the eiewitora along the lines of the several railroads in the state and we can not get one grain of ii without money, and the money is all locked up in the safes of the. creat national baDks. The best farmera we have in the county cannot get 1 of it on the best gilt-edge paper. That is what the people get by sending men of tho g. o. p. to make our laws. 1 don't know what the farmers and laboring men of Nebraska are going to do. We farmers that have stock to sell, cannot sell because there aro no buyers and no money in the country to buy with. I have lived here pince the fall of 187J, through all the plagues of grasshoppers, but 1 have never seen aa touh times aa there are here now. If there are any liberal people in Indiana (and I know there are) please, for the fake and in the name of BUtl'ering humanity, send us soiuo 6oed or corn or anything that can be used in putting in a crop. If the people of Indiana were here and could see the Buffering and hear the children of the poor people of this county crying lor something to eat, they would think it terrible. If you want references as to my standing in the community, 1 can refer you to 1. L. Anderson, William M. Craven, B. N. Springier, all store keepers of Miller, Neb.; also E. C. Wilson, W. M. of Armada lodge A. F. and A. M. of Miller, or any member of the fraternity; It. E. French", ii. M. of A. F. and A. M. in Nebraska, postoilire, Kearney, or to the following persons living in Hamilton eounty, Ind., where I resided before I came to Nebra.-ka: J. M. Richardson, lioxieytown, and Noah Miller. If any of the fcood people of Indiana send us anything by freight, please say on the cards on the boxes, "For Drouth .Sufferers in Nebraska," and please pay the freight as we cannot get the money to pay it for the reason 1 have stated. Please Fend poods and contributions to Mrs. Rose Pearce, president of tho W. C. T. U., Miller, Neb. Howard C. Hakuacoii. Miller, Sep., March 8.

A MASSACRE OF MAFIA. Concluded from First Pate. tho Matiagos, who had offended them in eotno way or other, and riddled the entire party of six with bullets.' The authorities determined to put an end to this vendetta business, which was getting too frequent among the Italians of New Orleans, and which had resulted in forty or more murders and essn?.inatious, and vigorous efforts were made to track and capture the criminals. Six men were arrested for the crime and tried. luring the trial one of the principal witnesses, an Italian, was assassinated. The trial resulted in a conviction, Irtit. there was so much perjury that the judge granted a new trial. Chief of Police lleuneey, who was a witness in the first caee.'eettowork to collect all the evidence in regard to the Mafia, the Stopaliagieri and other Italian assassination societies in New Orleans and to the numerous vendettas and murders committed bv them. As thercw as a feud between the Italians growing out of the Matiago affair, he found it possible to secure ample evidence of the most senaationnl character and he promised such developments as would break up the vendetta in New Orleans forever. Hcnnessy well understood the risk he was running. He was a man of phenomenal courage and fearless ne33, but he deemed it well, from the many threats he had received, to guard himself, and never went without one or more officers with him. Unfortunately he dismissed his bodyguard a few days previous to the night of his murder, either believing he could protect himself or that the threats amounted to nothing. The assassius evidently kuew this and made their preparations in the f.imc cowardly way that ail their crimes had been committed shooting from ambush on a very dark night and, at a safe distance. The murder wis committed with puch blunderbuses as could only have been made and used for the purpose of assassination. The in lignation and the excitement were such that mob law and lynching were about to be resorted to. The entire, community felt that in the endeavor to reach the guilty parties, innocent Italians might bo sacrificed. To allay excitement, and to assist the constituted authorities, the mayor of the city appointed a conimittea of fifty representative citizens to take charge of the investigation and to aid in the trial and conviction of the assassins. This measure arrested violence. The committee entered upon its work and at a mast meeting subsequently held in front of the city hall the action of tho committed was ratified nnd it was encouraged to continue its labors to secure prosecution and trial by the courts. After months of preparation and a trial which continued three weeks and in which distinguished counsel assisted the able district attorney, a jury charged to bave bjen bribed and corrupted in the face of testimony establishing their guilt, rendered a verdict of mistrial as to the three assassins, Scafledi, Monasterio and Pol let z; and acquitted the three assasfins, Macheca, Marched and lagnetto. Three more were on trial and were acquitted because of insulficient evidence, theso bing Matrana, Ineardoni laid tho boy March ei. The acquittal of Macheca, the chief conspirator, and of Marchesi and Bagnctto, and the mistrial as to Polietz, Scarl'edi and Monasterio fell like a thunderbolt upon the community,and impressed lawabiding citizens with the conviction that the laws had been violated, that the verdict invited assassination and the engrafting of the Italian Mafia upon American institutions. The feeling grew strong that for self-preservation thepoople must assume the authority which they had delegated to the courts, and which the courts yvero powerless to enforce. This teelin? increased until it found vent at the mass meeting this morning at 10 o'clock. This uprising of tho people to secure the punishment of tho assassins who struck down their chief of police in the night time with premeditated assassination was ordered, and the peoplo dispersed quietly as soon as their work of vindication was done. BLAINfi TO NICHOLLS.

He Points Out the Terina of Oar Treaty with It.ilj. "Washington, March 15. Secretary Maine tonight eent the following telegram to Governor Nicholla at New Orleans: Department of State, March 15. To His Excellency, Francis T. Nichols, Governor of Louisiana, New OrItaus: It has been represented to tbe president by the minister of Italy accredited to this government, that amonar the victims of the deplorahie massacre which took plaoe in the city of New Orleans, yesterday, were three or more subjects of the king of Italy. Our treaty with that friendly government (which, under the constitution is the supreme law of the land), guarantees to tbe Italian subjects domiciled in the United States "the most constnit protection and seenrity for their persons and property" making them amenat le on the same basis as our own citizens to the laws of the United States and of the several states, in their due and orderly administration. The president deeply regrets that the citizens of New Orleans should have so disparaged the purity and adequacy oi their own judicial tribunals as to transfer to the passionate judgment of a mob a iuestion that should have been adjudged dispassionately and by settled rules of tbe law. The government of the United States must give to the subjects of friendly powers that security which it demands for our own citizens when temporarily under a foreign jurisdiction. It is tbe hope of the president that you will co-operate with him in maintaining the obligations of the United testes towards Italian subjeots who may be within the perils of the present excitement; that further bloodshed and violence may be prevented and that all offenders against the law may be promptly brought to justiee. (Signed) James U. Blaine. The telegram which Secretary Blaine eent to Governor Nicholls was the result of a conference between the president and the secretary about 1 o'clock this afternoon, Paron Fava, the Italian minister, having previously called on Secretary Elaine and earnestly protested against the killing of his countrymen, demanding at the fame time protection for all other Italians in New Orleans. IN CHICAGO. Tbe Socialists and Itnl sni Psnsnsts Satar. dsr'i Murders. Chicago, March 15. At the meeting of the trades and labor assembly thia afternoon, "Tommy Morgan," socialist candidate for mayor, offered a resolution which, after being discussed for three hours, was finally adopted as follows : Whereas, aws have been enacted for the most severe punishment for all actsof violence committed by organized labor, and Whereas. Yesterday, in tbe city of Xew Orleans, prominent, professional, business and publio men openly and deliberately organized a mob around them and with their co-operation murdered eleven unarmed, defenseless prisoners iu tbe jail of that city. Therefore be it Resolved, That th's body demands that the same principle and laws that bave been strictly enforced on the working people be now enforced on these murderers, for tbe reason that if capitalistic anarchism be not prevented by the severest punishment, tbe ruling elasa io this case will practically be above the law and tbe discontented laboring class subject to tbe same kind of capitalistic anarchism. A large representative meeting of Italians was held here this evening to take action in regard to the occurrence of yesterday at New Orleans. Dr. Volinix presided, and in opening tbe meeting delivered an impassioned address. Among other things he said : Oar countrymen have been vilely slain by a mob of assassins shot down aad murdered by a lawless and a barbarous mob ia the eity of New Orleans. Thia blood call out for satis

faction, for redress. We demand of the government of the United States prompt, full and explicit reparation. We demand reparation in the name of justice, of humanity, of civilization. If justice be not rendered, we'd and prompt, our native land will pea!', even with tbe voice of her guns. This sentiment was received with prolonged cheers and demonstrations of approval. Stefano Malata, editor of L'Amrrica, was the next speaker. He announced that he was n Sicilian like tho men who were lynched in Nw Orleans. He beg.m with studied calmness, but gradually worked himself and his audience to a high pitch of excitement. "Massacred," he exclaimed, "massacred, our countrymen have been massacred; the outrage has no comparison :n any civilized nation." The epeaker disavowed sympathy with the vendetta, but insisted on the right, and asked why the New Orleans authorities permitted Parkerson to assemble thousands of citizens and harangue them to the point of frenzy and murder. The magistrate declared the accused innocent. "The assassins were not Italians, they were American citizens," exclaimed the fpeaker. Charles Parry, an Italian in st.ite of his name, said: "The news we have from New Orleans is infamous. The reports say that prominent men took part in the murder. I say the fact that prominent men took ptrt in this massacre makes it doubly infamous. We Italians fought to liberate thia country. Year3 igo Garibaldi, Kosciusko, ail the patriots ol the old world came, here when the people hold out their arms and esid 'come h-re and receive the protection of constitutional law.' Galmagia, a member of the stall i and ex-ollicer in the Italian army, suid that be personally knee all tiiesa men who fell victims to the hlood-thitsty mob. "I looked into their fac'-s," tsi 1 lu "in jail, there behind tho bars, and saw in them the ir.deliblo impress of innocence; and yet their innocence wag no protection, for they fell before the rities of as fiendish a mob of ns-a?sin3 us over disgraced civilization. God pity tle people; God pity America. In the n&'ne of all tho martyrs who fought, in tho name of liberty, we ask n-paration." Pr. Volini suggested a modification of a pro1 position formerly made to demand of the talian government immediate cognizance of the outrage nnd proposed that a committee be appointed to co-opt-rate with committees from similar bodies to dratt suitable resolutions. The suggestion was adopted and the romuiitlee appointed. Mr. Ouranti presented the follow iug in the form of a telegram to Secretary Piiii.c: m We. Italians by birth, Americans by choice, esembled in mass meeting, unanimously protest against tbe cowardly r.r.d lawless act ot the New Orleans mob, aided by the tao!t consent of the local authorities, and demand of tbe federal government satisfactory reparation, the severe punishment of the leaders wht were active iu breaking the laws guaranteeing the right of citizenship and tiospiiality. Tne following dispatches wero also ordered sent: Tbe ludo-Amerieano, 22 Toydral-st., New Orleans: The Italians of this city, fweerobled in masa meeting, protest Dirnint the shedding of innocent blood and demLd reparatioa ia the interest of popular government.

EXCITEMENT IN ROME.

Press and People Denounce the Wholesale Rome, March I k Tho Italian government has instructed Baron de Fava, tho Italian minister at Washington, to present a vehement protest to the U. S. government against the action of the mob in New Oricans yesterday, and the U. S. government has promised to make an investigation. Paron do Fava, in a dispatch to Marquis di Kudini, the Italian premier and l'oreiun minister, states that he has protested against the inaction of tho local officials in New Orleans, and that Mr. Fiiaine, the American secretary oi etate, expressed horror at the acts of the New Orleans mob, promising that he would immediately take the orders of the president in the matter and that tho decision would be communicated to the Italian government. The lliform a denounces the New Orle-.ms lynching at an outrage and says it is a disgrace to the United States that such acts are pobsib!. within its borders. Signor Pregnnzo will interpolate the government in parliament regirdingthe affair. AN OFFICIAL. VIEW. The City Clerk Tlonks the Lynching; Wholly Just finite. Boston, March lf. 12. F. Manning, city clerk of Xew Orleans, is somewhat indisposed at Young's hotel in thi city. Seen by a reporter regarding the citizen's Urising in New Orleans Saturday, Manning paid: "It is hard to say when mob law is justifiable, but if an occasion ever demanded it, it was tbe abortive result of the trial of those men for the murder of Chief Henneesy. This Mafia is a society of murderers, of paid assassins. For sums of money ranging as low as $-" it was possible to get an enemy or a rival put out of the way. The Mafia had never been molested till Hennessy came into office. New Orleans bad never had a chief of polico who dared to attack it. When tin? Mafia said a man mut die his death was swift and sure. It was never known to fail. A murderer might escape the penalty of tho law but never the decree of the Malia." Maj. Manning, after describing tbe methods and numerous crimes of tho Mada continued : "This was not a w ild uprising of a crazy mob. It was the calm, deliberate action of the best element of the city. Lawyers, doctors, merchants and the higher grades of society were there and they felt that pomethin ni'ist be done. They, the court of last resort, the people, knew that these men were murderers and that no rnan'a life would be safe if, through barefaced intimidation, the Mafia were allowed to escape the law. They took it in their own hands and who can blame them? The result must be a source of dismay to tbe Matia. It means its utter destruction In my opinion. Tho movement againat it will proceed until it is driven from New Orleans. If any more assassinations should follow to wreak the veugeance of the Mafia the people would rise in a body and sweep the whole race from the face of the earth. Tho present chief of polio is following in Hennessy's steps and the city government is determined to uproot tho evil." NEW YOKK FEELING. The Consul Will 1S Talk A His; Indignation Meeting New York, March 1C Gen. Piva, the Italian consul in this city, declined to be interviewed concerning the trouble at New Orleans. He, however, announced through tho vice-consul, as the representative of the Italian government, that he greatly regretted the unfortunate occurrence in the South. He was unable to state what action his government would take, nor was he informed as to any possible action which might be taken by the Italian colonists of New York. Cases of this kind have been very few, and the consul-general was unable to recall what had been done under similar circumstances in the past. The big Italian indignation meeting will probably be held on Wednesday evening

at Tammany hall. In tho meantime all festivities will be abandoned. The Italians of this city aro very much excited over the New Orleans tragedy. One of the mot promintnt among them said: "The Italians look at this matter in this light: Their countrymen were tried by a jury in an American court. The American jury brought in a verdict of not guiitv. The American people do not bland by tho laws of their country, but take justice in their own hands and murder these men. Ot conr-e this offends tbe Ita'ian populace. Put you can eay ia your paper, and I know that it is so, that no New York Italian believes in any such secret society as tho Mafia. They condemn it as much m the native born, Americans, Wo timply intend to make an earnest protest against tho wholesale butchery oi our countrymen. We are always "hearing about the bloodthirsty Italian, but the American citizens of Ner Orleans in shooting men, stringing then up to lamp-posts and making 6ieves of the bodies, have rendered themselves guilty of euch atrocities as no body of Italians has ever committed."

A DtWAND FOR WAR. Xfew Orleans Italia ua Propose to Have) Revenge, Pittsf-vrc, March 1G. A committee of twelve Italians passed through Pittsburg from New Oricans today on route to Washington to seo Secretary Plaine, President Harrison and the Italian minister, and ta demand of them that kU ps be takeu immediately in regard to tho New Orleans killings. Pasqucl C jrite, who was spokesman for the party, was very much in earnest. He said: "If the Italians in other cities will follow our example, there will be raised in a few days a fund of S.jOt.OOO to aid tha work of securing justice or revenge. "I believe the killing at New Orleans will re.-ult in war," he continued. "Bui if the Italian government does not force to a complete and eaticMctory issue the reparation necessary, I will sa'v now that an army of Italians will assemble in New Orleans which wilt fully and effectually avenge the murder of our countrymen." "You beiieve in the Malia and the ven dett.v?" "I believe in revenge. Italians are revengeful when angered; wo are terribly angry." "What will you demand of this government?" "That those concerned in tbe killing of Italian prisoners bo brought to justice, and that full and complete reparation ba made to the families of the doe-ased." "If such demands fai , what?" "We shall demand of tho Italian gov ernment that it compel it." "What would that amount to even iJ Italy should seek to compel acquiescence to her demands?" "Why, sir, Italy has such a navy that if she so choose she could station her vessel four miles from land and ruin your coast cities. Italy has ISO or more vessels of war. You C3 what she could do." THE DIP- OMATIC SIDE. A Question 17Mch Puzzles the Oldest Mrnibrn of the Corps. Washington, March 16. No further action will be taken by the f ?deral authorities at Washington in regard to the shooting of the Italians at New Orleans until after the receipt of Governor Nicholls' reply to Secretary Blaine's telegram 6tating the position of the government in the matter. It was rtated by officials of the department o! justice and the war department in explanation of why the government had taken no steps to prevent mob violence that the federal authorities are powcrlesa to act in cases of disorders in the states, except when called upon for aid by the state authorities or when necessary for the special protection of government property. No ther ofthee contingencies arose at New Orleans. Tbe governor did not ask for assistance and the publio buildings at New Orleans were at no time in any danger from the mob. These statements indicate clearly that up to the tune of the killing of the suspected murderers the case was wholly bejond the scope of tederal action. The fact, however, that several of the men killed were sutjerts of Italy aud the further fact that the Italian government has made formal demand for an investigation has given the case an aspect calling for diplomatic negotiations. State depart ment otliciala Cud some difficulty in acting on this case for the reason that it is entirely without precedent in tho diplomatic annala of the country. It is settled, however, that no further steps will bo taken until all the circumstances leading to and surrounding the case shall have been olEcially communicated. Secretary Plaine refuses absolutely to discuss the matter. He has received a number of telegrams from Italian organizations in different parts of the country protesting against what they term "an outrage," and demanding that al Italian citizens of the United States be properly protected against violence and prejudice. The matter is almost the sole topic oi conversation in diplomatic circles and so far as can be ascertained the general opin ion is that the 6tato of Louisiana and not the United States must be held responsible. A demand for indemnity would, of course, come from the Italian government through its ndnistei resident and transmitted by the secretary of state to the government of Louisiana, and if repudiated by that state would be submitted to congress for 6uch action aa might be deemed advisable. An official of the 6tate department in ppeaking of the occurrence today, said tnat the government would have to do all in its power to satisfy Italy, that the rights of her citizens in this country would be protected. Tho action of the president in communicating with the governor of Louisiana asking for information on the eubject was the only thing to be done until a reply from the governor had been received. A thorough investigation of tho matter would, of course, be made and after that congress would have to bo called upon for action, the state department having no money to pay indemnities or anything of that sort. Whether it ia a case for money indemnity would be for congress and n"t the etate department to decide. Whatever indemnity there should be for those of the killed who were citizens of the United States, Louisiana would be responsible for to their families, but any responsibility for those who were citizens of a foreign country that there rnh-ht bo would fall upon the United States. Representative McCrenrr, formerly chairman of the foreign affairs committee of the house, said that the state defmrtment had no money it could spend n the case, and that it was difficult to tell just what it could do. Tho department would have to await the reply of Governor Nicholls to the communication from the secretary and make such further investigation of tho matter as it could. Then the secretary would have to report to congress for such action as that body thought proper. "Sucked Her Brssth." Chicago, March 1G.
