H1931 'ESSI”S ATENGERS.
The bloody scene in, and near, the
parish prison in New Orleans on Satur-
day morning while smacking strongly
of \Vestern ideas and methods, was af—
ter all a striking commentary upon the
exceptional sluggishness of the chan-
nel of conviction during the closing
years of the Nineteenth century.

While, ordinarily, mob violence and
lynch law processes should be and are
deprecated there are occasions. and this
seems to have been one of them, when
the old Mosaic law is the best engine to
Chief Honnessy, who
seems to have been a very efficient offi-
cer and an excellent citizen was virtu-
ally condemned to death by the mur—
derous Mafia, (a lot of cut throat Sicil-
ians, by whom he was cordially hated)
and their sentence was actually exe-
outed.

About twenty of the desperate gang
were indicted for complicity in the
crime and at the recent trial of nine of
them, six were acquitted and were held
upon a minor charge. As the verdict
of the jury was clearly in antagonism
to the testimony and common sense,
three thousand citizens of New Orleans,
headed by leading professional men,
visited the parish prison and made
quick work of eleven of the scoundrels,
shooting some of them in their cells
and giving others an opportunity of
performing various aeropatic feats at
the end Of a short rope.

It was a summary way of dispos-
ing of a reckless, law-defying crowd,
but, after all, it was about time to teach
this scum of Southern Europe that
there’s no room in Yankee land for
imported criminals. \Ve have about
all we can attend t6 when we look after
our native scalawags.

THE NE‘V YORIC CENSUS.

 

 

The Assembly .Committee Continues Its
Inquiry.

New Yonk, March 16.——'l‘he assembly
census committee resumed their inquiry
into the alleged fraudulent enumeration.
Hon. J. K. Kenny, supervisor of The City
Record, was questioned as to the state-
ment made by Mr. Porter as to not having
been furnished wit-h enumeration tables
made by the police. Fora comparison wit-
ness said these tables were useless, as the
federal census was taken under the divis-
ion of the city by election districts of 1889,
while the police enumeration was made by
the election districts of 1890. \Vitness said
the reason he refused to deliver the records
into the hands of Secretary Noble was not
because he was afraid they would be tam-
péred with. but because they were official
records, and he considered it his duty not
to allow them out of his posession.

Mr. Kenny detailed the differences be-
tween the federal and police cnumerators,
and said the. federal enumerators had in-
cluded the inhabitants of" liedloe’s, Ellis
and Oyster islands. which are in New
.ltrsey. The cost of taking the police census
was $700.

111'. Speer, Mayor Grant’s secretary, tes-
tified that several federal officeholders had
told him that the. schedules counted by the
clerks in the census oliice were not as
many as turned in by the enumerators of
Federal Supervisor Murray, having been
burned in \l'ashington in an old building
known as McDowell’s mill, near the census
bureau. Witness said that if a guarantee
was given that the individuals from whom
he received the information would not be
discharged from their present positions
he would tell all that he knew.

Max Arnhcim, a federal enumerator,
testified that he recorded 3,333 names; that
his pay was 871, and four months afterward
he received $58.40, the balance being still
due him.

Adjourned until Monday.

The Bark Umberto Prince Ashore.

N Ew YORK, March 16.—The bark report-
ed ashore Saturday night on Romer shoals
proves to be the Umberto Prince from
Rosario. It was thought that the bark
would get off at high water, but the high
wind only drove her into the shoal the
harder. The sea. began to break over the
bark, and the captain soon saw that it was
a case of shipwreck. He signaled for help
about midnight, and life saving crew N o.
1 put off to his assistance. \Vhen they
boarded the bark it was decided that the
captain and crew would stay with the
ship, so the lifeboat crew returned ashore.
During the early morning, however, the
seas kept getting bigger and bigger, and
were continuously breaking over the
grounded bark. Soon she commenced tc
keel over, and at 9 o’clock she lay clean
over on her port side. As soon as the life
saving crew saw the situation of the bark
they at once put off to the assistance of the
men on her, but when they got near the
stranded vessel the tremendous seas pre-
vented them from getting close, and all
attempts to rescue the crew were futile.
Help was asked for from New York, and
the revenue cutters Chandler and Grant
have been dispatched to the scene. An
effort will be made to throw a line to the
bark by means of a rocket from one of the
revenue cutters and rescue the men by
means of a breeches buoy. A great deal of
doubt is expressed, however, as to whether
the bark will hold together long enough to
allow of this plan being carried out.

NEW YORK, March 16.—Superintendenf

The Colored Militia Feel Sore Over
TheirDisbandment.

PRESIDENTIAL PARDON’S.

Robert Littlejohn, of South Carolina, and
J. IV. Gregory, of Pennsylvania,
Benefit by the Execu-

tive’s Clemency.

WASHINGTON, March 16.—The war among
the militia of the District of Columbia has
been transferred to the executive mansion
and a delegation of colored men headed by
Register Bruce, Auditor Lynch and ex-

Collector Cook, called on President Har- p

risen in regard to the matter. They stated
to the president that General Ordway,
commander of the District of Columbia
national guard, had disbanded the only
two battalions of colored troops in the
District of Columbia national guard, and

they charged discrimination on the part of,

General Ordway. Later in the day General

Ordway saw the president and stated to' ‘

him that as congress had failed to make
sufficient appropriations for the District
of Columbia national guard he had dis-
banded two battalions, which were the

only two separate organizations in the"

District of Columbia national guard. The
question of color, he said, did not enter
into the subject with him, and if there had
been any white separate battalion organi-
zations and the colored _ battalions had
been in regiments the white battalions
would have been disbanded. To have dis-
banded the white battalion, he said, would
have been to have disrupted regimental or-
ganizations.
He Drew No Color Line.

f‘I have drawn no color line,” said Gen—
eral Ordway to a United Press reporter,
“but the colored people themselves have
drawn it. "’ i

The president has directed General Ord-
way to suspend his order disbanding the
two colored battalions of the District of
Columbia national guards.

l’ardoned by the President.

\VAsIIIXGTON, March 16.—The president
has pardoned Robert Littlejohn, of South
Carolina, convicted of violations of the in-
ternal revenue laws, and J. W. Gregory,
of Pennsylvania, convicted of breaking
into a postoffice. He has also granted'the
remission of the forfeited recognizance of
Maria Flood, of the District of Columbia.

In the case of Charles W. Ingram, of
California, sentenced to eighteen months’
imprisonment for violation of the postal
laws, the president has granted him a
pardon to take effect May 13, 1891. I

He has remitted the fine of $501 imposed
on John Emmel, Jr., of Baltimore, sen-
tenced to six months’ imprisonment and
to payafine of $591 for violation of the
postal laws.

In the case of John H". Brown, of North
Carolina, sentenced to three years’ im—
prisonment for violations of the postal
laws, -the president has commuted the
sentence to two years’ actual imprison-
ment.

Congressman Spinola’s Condition.

WASHINGTON, March 16.—The condition
of Congressman Spinola of New York, who
was reported to be critically ill at the Ar-
lington Hotel in this city, is not so serious
as was supposed. The severe cold which
General Spinola contracted has not, so far,
affected his lungs, and his physicians say
that his age is the only serious thing that
will interfere with his recovery. The pro—
tracted sessions and the exciting scenes of
the closing days of congress have had their
effect on General Spinola’s system and have
produced exhaustion to a limited extent.
He was reported to be resting easier.

The Behring Sea. Question.

W'AsnING'rox, March 16.—-Solicitoi- Gen-
eral Taft, of the department of justice,
said that the United States government
did not contemplate making any motion
in the supreme court for the dismissal of
the proceedings in the Sayward case in-
volving the question of jurisdiction over
Behring sea. \Vhat action, if any, the
counsel for the British government con-
templated taking in view of the diplomatic
correspondence on the subject between the
two countries he was not advised.

:Thc President to Visit California.

WASHINGTON, March 16.—The president
stated that he contemplated leaving on his
California trip between the 5th and 10th

of April. Mrs. Harrison will accompany
him. He will be absent from \Vashington

about six weeks. He will go by way of
Atlanta and stop one day each at Atlanta
and New Orleans, and possibly make short
stops at other points. From New Orleans
he will go to California by way of the
Southern Pacific railroad.

 

.Regarding President Balmaceda.

IVASHIXGTON, March 16.—The state de-
partment is still ignorant, officially and
otherwise, of any information concerning
the reported assassination of the president
of Chili. Assistant Secretary \Vharton
said that 11c was certain the department
would have been notified if such an event
had occurred. It is possible, however, that
a strict telegraphic censorship may have
been established.

Arabian Animals to Come in Free.
lVAsr-nxo'rox, March Ill—The treasury
department has decided that Arab ani-
mals, intended to form a part of an Arab
village at the VVorld’s fair exhibition, are
entitled to free entry.
