MR. PORTER'S BLARNEY. II A Wins the Irailbii Ministers Ortr to Ho, Md. Home, April 2. All endeavors to obtain the opinion upon the present critin between the United States and Italy of tho Hon. A. G. Porter, the U. S. minister here, have proved futile. Mr. Porter declares that the rules of international comity jroclude an expression of opinion bv a minister plated in the position that Mr. 1'orter is now placed in. It is learned, however, frcm reliable soiurt'3 that the TJ. S. minister has dene- much to pacify thy Italian government and that he has won over to his way of thinking the other ministers, several of whom have been trying to induce tho Italian premier, the Man,uis di I'udmi, to be less hasty. The i l. a of war is scouted here in diplomatic and government circles. Even Uaron Fava's third withdrawal is not definitely decided upon. It is said that even if Baron Fava is withdrawn it will be douo as the most forcible protest known in diplomacy and not as a forerunner of a conflict between the United States and Italy. The Italian cabinet ministers are in receipt of a largu number of cablegrams r.d U tter from prominent Italians in New York urging moderation upon the Italian government in its treatment of the ew Or.eans trouble. EVERY IH 1NQ IS SERENE. Radlnl VV1II Ati!s Iler-lopmentt SntltfacUry Settlement Will IS Arranged. New Yohk, April 4. A special from Rome to the Mail and Express quotes the Marquis di Rudini as saying that be had no intention of pushing any demands ind was content with having taken one positive etep as a protest against what he was led to believo at the time was a neglect on the part of the U. S. government to protect the lives of Italian citizens in America under the E revisions of the treaty,. He expressed imself as aware that to do anything more at this juncture would bo a grave error on his part, ns he lias perfect confidence in the sincerity and justice of the U. S. governs cnt. Finally ho paid : "I shall now simply wait for farther details of the New'Orleans affair; of tho characters of the slain men, of the action of tho Louis;ana authorities and of tho intentions of the U. f government. But what ever these may be, I am quite sure that a settlement thoroughly satisfactory to both parties will bo found and that the friendship which binds the two nations will remain unalterable and secure." A RIOT IN KANSAS CITY. Italians Drlran Out of Town tjr an Angry Kansas City, Mo., April 6. There was a small riot at the Phoenix packinghouse, at the corner of First and Osage-aves., Kansas City, Kos., this morning. For some time past tho rumors of the reopening of the packing house, which has been closed einco Nov. 17, have caused largj crowds of laborers to congregate about the pates of the p'ace every morning seeking wori. This morning, as usual, they were there, about ,'I Oin all. About 0 o'ciock twenty Italians came up in a body to apply for "work. They told the superintendent that they would work for $1 a day. When the other. who had assembled there learned of the offer of the Italians they seized fence pickets, stones and other inie?i!es and charged the Italians. The Italians made a stand for a moment, but were soon forced back and ended by taking precipitate flight, followed by a etorm of curses and inissilps. They ran down First-st. to Kansai-ave., across the Kansas river to Missouri. The crowd followed them to the bridge and there stopped. It is not known whether any of the Italians were hurt or not None of tho others were injerrd. A STRICKEN FAMILY. Father and Sjn Deal and the Mother Critically in. Bath, N. Y., April 1.

HUSTON AND HIS HOME

Discussed By the People of Connersville. Shaving Notes and Sinking the Proceeds. Politics and Stock Farms Prove Very Expensive. Huston as n Figura in Politics in the Future. More Trouble to Harrison Than Any. body III! oo. C"NNnRsviM.E, April 5. Special. '"Look ! There goes the treasurer of the United States," exclaimed the 'bus driver of Connersville an he pointed bis whip toward the retreating figure of a tall, slim, well-dressed man who walked with an 4iI-carry-the-government-on-mv-shoul-ders" air. It was U. S. Treasurer J. X. Huston, known to the "boys'' of Indianapolis during the campaign of 1S33 as "Nels" Huston, chairman of the republican state committee. To the reople of Connersville he is known as the "big man of the town." "Is he not the treasurer of (3,000,000 people, and does not that of itself make him a 'big man of the nation?' "'the average republican of Fayette county will reply when any one questions "Xels" Huston's right to the place of "big man of tho town." The patriotic 'bus driver, anxious to treat his paescnger with a front view of the "treasurer of the United States," gave his horses an ext' a touch, and presently the "bir man of the town was overtaken just as ho turned , the corner on Centralave., whhin half a t-quan of the Huston note shaving e.-tablishment where he soon concealed himself from the gazeqf the common people on the streets. When Mr. Huston wrote that his scheme to colonize Indiana with negroes was prompted by his humane love for the transplanted African, he was no doubt in earnest. In Connersville there are many negroes. When the weather is favorable they consregato at the principal street corner to talk politics and religion. When Huston passed this iavored dark corner. every eon of Africa uncovered Ids woolly head as a mark of extreme respec t for the friend of a down-trodden race. Kemembering that he was ttiil treasurer of the United States, Mr. Huston maintained th- diunity due to the position which Mr. Harrison bestowed upon him. He did not f-top to shake the prollcred dusky hands, but hurriedly readied his private bank where he found his faithful cashier engaged in his usual occupation of shaving tho notes of the "prosperous" proterted fanners of Fayette county. "l)id Huston make his money shaving note?" I as-ked of an "old nettler." ".o," be rep! ed, "but his father did. Xels Ilii.'ton inherited from his father and from two bachelor uncles about half a miliion dollars. That is considered an immense fortune in a city of b.tKJO people. That wou d give every man and child, white and black of the town S.M each if distributed. Through his privato bank Mr. Huston has kept on shaving notes, but this income has not equaled the drains on the Huston fortune that his stock farm - a 1.1 ituoi"ti v i i u and politics have mi "les," said an ex ade." x-countv officer, ''politics and that f-tock farm have reduced the Huston fortune nearly one-half. Nels Huston is worth not u.iich over a quarter of a million dollars now. I knew his father well and have known Nels from boyhood. His father was a hard working man v. ho deprived himself of all comforts to accumulate a fortune. You see that brick block across the alley from the bank, opposito the court house? Well, old man Huston carried every brick and til the mortar that holds them together on his back when he was jdxty-five years old and worth S:J0O,0O0. He hired bricklayers by the day and s?rved as hod carrier to th em to eave expenses. "Iid Nels carry bricks, too? Oh, no. NcN, while under the . parental roof did not do anything but have a good time. This worried the elder Huston considerably. Finally he gavo the young man 10,000 and sent him out West in Kansas to prow up with the country. In course oi a year or bo the West had outgrown young Ih:eton and he returned homo with nothing but experience. He married and Settled down to business with 'his father, and from that time to this day ho never indulged in a good time." Fart of the estate left him consisted of over 00 ac res adjoininz ttw city on the eouth, extending from the White Vatr river back to and including the hi;jh blufls overlooking the famous White Water valley. 31 id way between the blufhi and tho river bottom. on one . of the foot hills covered with maples Mr. Huston erected a palatial residence supplied with all modern conveniences, including electric lights and natural gas. A telephone line connects the Louse with the Central office in tlie city, the distance being but one mile. The old White Water ranal which runs alonj? the blufls through Connersville is about thirty foet higher than the river. This canal separates the bottom lands of the Huston stock farm from the foot hills reserved for residences, stables, yards and parks. On the boundary between tho city corporation an i the Huston stock farm there is a dam across the canal which affords good hydraulic, power. A pipe from a point above the dam to the "Huston Cast e," as it is sometimes referred to, eupplies the house and stables with water and also feeds an artificial lake which is well stocked with fish from the U. S. lih cominfcyioner at Washington. In the lake, as well a in the garden and r ark, aro fountains spouting water everul feet hisrh. Leading to the town from the "Castle" thero is a private foot wallc end a macadamized road shaded with elm and maple trees. Across the canal from the "Castle" is a half mile race track where the horses of the Huston 6table3 are trained. Mr. Huston is not a upeciaHst in utock breeding. He breeds high priced horses, inuleg, cattle, hogs and poultry. He employs on an average twenty men, white and black.'to attend to the. stock.' Some of tiie larmrs of the county who are opposed to "book farming"" tell amusing stories about "Gentleman Farmer" Huston. "A few years ago," fail an old hayseed. "Mr. Huston bought two car-loads of old Arkansas mules for one-year-old Missouri muies. Tho next year he was impocd upon with two car-loadsof Texas ponica for breeding purposes.". "That's nothing," remarked a policeman who overheard the conversation. "Two weeks ago the superintendent of the Huston stock farm bought a huh-priced m-ue at the Cambridge City annual horse sale and he did not discover that the borae was b'ind until be reached home." "Huston is not the richest man of the t3wn," i ail a business zuan, who, although

a close observer of politics, takes no active interest in it. "J. M. Koberts is the wealthiest man of the countv. In fact we have only five rich men in this county, Koberts, Huston, Munt, Koots and Claypool. They all inherited their fortunes from rote shaving forefathers. They aro all republican politicians and control the furniture manufacturing establishments of the city. Before the Australian ballot law was enforced they voted their men ia squads. Thev recruit largely from the farms of Franklin county where the boys are all democrats, - but t0 per cent, of them vottd the republican ticket after obtaining employment in tho factories here. Hut ihy voted their convictions last fall and the result is that the democruts elected the auditor, Claypool, for representative, carried the county by one vote, aud the republican majority on the state ticket was cut down one-half. a "There aro two republican factions in this county. The JIuston faction, which controls the partv organization and supplier the 'grease' to run the 'machine,' and the Koots faction which is composed of Koots, Munt and Claypool. This faction controls the First National bank. Koots is ambitious to go to congress, but knows that us long as Huston is a power in the county, bis desire will nver be gratilied. Hufcton is liberal and Bhella out his money freely among the workers. His friends claim that during the last four yeara he has invented $100,000 in repubdeftn politics besides devoting nearly ail bis time to the interest of the partv. Instead of

ppendinsi money anions the 'boys' to gain popularity, Koots devises schemes to crush Hunton. Last vear Col. boss, a personal friend of Huston, was nominated for auditor. Tho Ko ts crowd availed themselves of the secret ballot to defeat him, and Bock house, democrat, was elected by a Fafe majority. The Huston people knew what was troing on and retaliated by scratching JelF Claypool for representative. Henry county saved him. The war between tne factions is now rnoro bitter than ever." "What will the democrats do at the next election?" I asked of Lawyer W. C. Forrey. "We will carry the county for Cleveland if he is nominated," he answered. "The farmers of this county have confidence in Cleveland." "Yes," said a school teacher trorn Fosey township, "the farmers, irrespective of party, believe that Cleveland was defeated bv a combination of monopolists.'" ""I believe that Cleveland understands the silver question, and if he says free coinage won't do then he must bo right," was the expression of a farmer who belongs to the alliance. Widiam Merrell, the chairman of the democratic county committee, was found busy mapping out the campaign for the city election. He is the so e democratic member of the city council. He f?aid from pre?ent indications tho democrats would carry the county at the next election. The'people of the city were also getting tired of republican rule. The mayor, clerk, treasurer, marshal, the five republican councilmtn all combined did not pay Sr-50 taxes. The retirement of Huston from active politics will coot many votes to the repubcan party if Harrison is rcnom nated. His friends openly denounce Harrison as an ingrate. At leact a majority oi the republicans of the county believe that Huston elected Harrison. The Hustons have lo.t no opportunity to let the pi-ople know that they have been snubbed socially and ignored politically. In going to Washington Huston had two objects iit view. He wanted to create himself a political boss for Iudiana by con;ro!lingthe p.Uronace o? the slate. His services to Harrison entitled him to the patronnpe, while his wealth seemed to him futFicient qualification to entitle his family to phine in Washincton society, not realizing that tho soci.il status is regulau-d bv tho official position' In Washington the treasurer of tho United states is a nonenity. He does not even control the appointment of colored messenger. He does not count more than the chief of the seeds division of the department of agriculture. Kut Mr. Huston claims that "Harrison gave him to understand that if h accepted the treasuryship he would see that he and his family should swim in tho same social ftrata that i accorded cabinet officers and their families. With that understanding Mr. Huston took bis family to Washington. But the Harrisons " ignored Mrs. Huston and she returned home. Huston told tho president that he would resign because Mrs. Huston had not been treated the same as tiie wife of a cabinet officer. Huston was desperate and Harrison promised him that it" Mrs. Huston returned to Washington he would be treated as "ono of 'em." It appears that the president carried out his promise. A well-known politician of this county, who has been in Washington, pays that 'Fige Ila'ford informed, him that the Hustons bad given the president more trouble than ail tho rest of tho Indiana peop e together. In the first place Huston wanted to go in the cabinet. Then he recommended republicans for every Indiana appointment and every time his recommendation was ignored he went to the white house with a threat to resign. If a state dinner was given without thej Hustons he would get himself interviewed the next day in which ho put the administration in a ridiculous attitude. 1 inally it was decided by the Harrisons to humor the "Big Man" of Connorsville. Mr. and Mr. Huston were invited to every big feast given at the white house. But because the Hustons were not triven special privileges and placed ahead of tho supremo judges and cabinet oiiicers they felt snubbed and kicked up more rows. Then the whita house festivities wero bold without tho Connorsville people, and Mrs. Huston returned home with the furniture. t .When Secretary Windom died Huston expected to be appointed secretary of the treasury. Ho wanted Attorney-General Miller to be transferred to the newly created circuit judge-hip. the place that Dudley's friend, J udje Woods, is booked for. The president knew that ihe appointment of loeter would immediately bring Huston to the white house with another "resignation" bluff. Ligo Halford eays that two hours after tho appointment of Foster had been announce 1 Huston was oeen making a bee lino from the treasury building to the white house. He was so excited, said Lige to the Connersvihe republican, that he did not follow the ground walk, but cut across the forbidden grass p ats, heedless of the shouts of tho watchmen to "keep oil" the grass." "Here comes Ilus'.on," said the president to Lige, "This time I will surprise him by accepting his resignation." "Well, Mr. Huston," said the president, before the U. & treasurer had time to utter a word, "I have decided to accept your resignation. Have you got it with you?" Mr. Huston unbottoned his coat and extracted from an inside pocket the much-talked-of resignation paper and handed it over to the president without Faying much, because he was ' rattled at tho unexpected turn of affairs. ApHustor; went out the president remarked to la)ford( "That man has caused me more trouble than all the Indiana otiice seekers put together." P. II. l by in,liony Cab tonorl.

Into The Awful Scene That Met the Eye of the rolice. Chicago, April 5. A murderous fieht, the result of a long-standing feud between two Italian women, Mrs. Jesso Gallio and Mrs. Congetto Vallone, occurred tonight in a State-st. tenement house. Mrs. Gallio this evening sent a message to Mrs. Vallono ostensibly offering overtures of peace and inviting her to call. Mrs. Vallone was cordially greeted, but while she w.:s taking olfher shawl and hat, Mrs. Gallio locked the door and placing the key in her pocket, went to a closet andBecured a larire butcher knife, the edze of which was whetted as keen as a razor. Then she coolly informed Mrs. Vallone that she bad invited her to her room for the purpose of Bcttliug the trouble existing between them in true Italian fashion and proceeded to carve ber. Mrs. Vallone shrieked for help and attempted to escape, but was pitilessly born down to the floor. Fourteen times the Gallio woman plunged the keen blade into her victim's face, neck and body and only ceased apparently from sheer exhaustion. Police at this juncture broke open the doors. In the corner of the room lay the unconscious body of Mrs. Vallone, the blood pouring in streams from her numerous wounds. Furniture wa9 overthrown and broken and the walls and ceiling were spotted with blood. . In another corner, panting, crouched Mrs. Gallio, the bloody knife clenched in her hand and a wild look in her black eyes. As tho officers approached she sprang to her feet and rushed npon them. A fierce struggle ensued, but the desperate woman was overpowered and her victim taken ro a hospital. Mrs. Vallone cannot recover. Mrs. Gallio was held without bail.

NEW BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. A Few Wo i Is in Hehnlf of that lion, John C. Knoblock of South Hpiii', When The Sentinel published sketches of the members of the new board of agriculture tho notica of Mr. Knoblock was j very meaper, as the facta were not then available. The following letter from ono of his fellow-citizens will therefore be of ; great interest: j To th e Ed rro.t Sir: John C. Knoblock ! was born in Canton, Starke coun'y, Ohio, j Nov. !i, 1S;K. He came west with his p:irt ents in 1843 and assisted in clearing up a farm in this vicinit'. In 1S4S he moved ! into South Bend and drove a team lor A. ! It. and J. H. Harper, at that time the i . at i larcHpt millers and manuiacturers m i northorn Indiana. In 18T2 he took charjro I of a irrocerv store, and the following year ; emoarKoa in tne grocery ira-ic, in w.iucn i he continued for twenty-niue j'ears, mak ing a euccess of it and enjoying for many vears tho dititMction ot doing the iarjieet who'esale and retail grocery trade in this section. His acquaintance with citizens and farmers was verv extensive, to which Studebaker and otheis, went into the ' manufacturing business, the concern now ! neins kuown as the South Bend chilled plow company. He was a charter mem ber, and is now a trustee, of the St. Joseph countv savings bank, the deposits in which are over 1,250,000. He served several terms as county commissioner, and fa at present city commissioner. He isalscthe president of the Miller-Knoblock wagon company, manuiacturers ot stnet sprinklers and heavv wagons. His many and varied interests have brought him in contact with people of all classes, and he has probablv a larger acquaintance with citiz-n and farmers than any man in the countv. He is practical in all things. In 1890 the republicans of South Bend tendered him the nomination for mayor, which he declined, owing to his Urge business interest. Up here we regard the new agricultural board as tho host tho state ever had, and State Auditor Henderson and Secretary of State Matthews aro I complimented on every band for their 4 i : . i superior judgment in selecting it, Citizen.
