MAYOR SHAKESPEARE OFFENDED'
Signor Corte Says the Killing of the
Italians Was Premedltated.
NEW ORLEANS, May 11.-—Signor Corte,
the Italian consul in this city, on the 7th
inst. addressed a communication to W. H.
Chaffee, foreman of the grand jury, charg-
ing among other things, “That an extra-
judicial body appointed by the mayor from
the beginning premeditated the killing of
the prisoners,” etc. This statement has
greatly offended the mayor, as the body
referred to is none other than the famous
committee of fifty, appointed immediately
after the killing of Chief Hennessy to in-
vestigate into and bring the guilty parties
to justice. The same committee are now
at work on a report which will give in de-
tail their connection with the investiga-
tion, the work done by them and the
causes of their appointment.
The report will be submitted to the
mayor and council at their meeting on
Tuesday evening next. On the basis of
this report the mayor will take the neces-
sary action leading to the recall of the
Italian consul. Signor Corte reiterates
his charges, and says that nothing new
remains for the municipal authorities but
to seek his recall. It is understood that
the grand jury are at present engaged in
preparing a reply to Signor Corte’s com-
munication, which will be ready for the
press by Wednesday.
Close of the Convention.
KANSAS CITY, May 11,—The international
convention of general secretaries of the
Young Men’s Christian association began
its last day’s work by devotional exercises
at 10 o’clock. The first business of the
session was the conclusion of association
subscriptions and a total of about $300,000
was subscribed for the coming year. Fol-
lowing this came the report of parlor com-
mittees. A resolution was adopted asking
the managers of the World’s Columbian
exposition to close the exposition ground
on Sunday. An animated discussion arose
over a proposition by the Springfield dele-
gate that a badge be adopted as distinctive
of the gymnasium work. The discussion
became sowarm that the proposition was
withdrawn. The remaining time of the
morning session was devoted to the ques-
tion drawer, which was conducted by G.
K. Shurtlefi, of Denver. The afternoon
session was devoted to the reports of train-
in g schools and the report of the distinctive
features of physical development by Luther
Gulick, of Springfield, Mass. The discus-
sion of the foreign work of the association
was the most interesting part of the meet-
ing.
Uneaslness Allayed.
PHILADELPHIA, May 11.—The credit of
nearly every financial institution in the
city was attacked by false rumors. In
some cases deposits were withdrawn by
people who had no means of ascertaining
the financial condition of the institutions.
Leading bankers declared all Philadelphia
institutions were in good shape, and that
there was not the slightest reasons for un-
easiness. The suspension of the Keystone
bank was due to incompetent and dis-
honest management, and the closing of
the Spring Garden bank was probably the
result Of a too strict adherence on the part
of the clearing house to the rules and regu-
lations which govern that concern. Later
in the day people began to recover their
senses and the rumors died out. Those
who drew their money out of the banks in
order to be on the safe side redepos ited it.
A New Protection Organ.
BOSTON, May 11.—-On or about May 25 a
four page one cent morning newspaper
will make its first appearance here under
the title of The News. It will advocate
tariff protection, a more equal distribu-
tion of the fruits of labor, laws regulating
immigration, opposition to sumptuary
legislation and unrestricted trade rela-
tions with the British provinces. The Aor-
ganization will issue a series of coupon
bonds, each bearing interest at the rate of
6 per cent. and payable in twenty-five
years. Each purchaser of a bond will be
entitled to receive a copy of the paper until
January, 1895.
No Revolution in Costa Rica.
IVASHINGTON, May 11.—Inquiry was
made at the bureau of the American re-
publics as to the truth of the telegram
from Panama concerning the revolution
in Costa Rica. The report was pronounced
as entirely improbable, as a cablegram in
cipher was received from Lieutenant
Scriven, the World’s fair commissioner in
Costa Rica, who undoubtedly would have,
alluded to a revolution if one had occurred
there. On the contrary, Lieutenant Scriven
reported the conditions were favarable for
a fine display from Costa Rica at the ex.
position.
Murdered by Highbinders.
WASHINGTON, May 11.——James Marr,”
United States Chinese inspector at El
Paso, Tex, writes to the treasury depart—
ment under date ‘of May 1 that a China-
man, name not given, in the employ of
the United States had recently been mur-
dered at Paso del N orte, Mexico, by Chi-
nese highbinders. The Chinaman was em-
played by Inspector Marr to assist him in
detecting Chinaman crossing the border
from Mexico and entering the United
States in violation of the Chinese exclu-
sion act.
Blew Out His Brains.
W'ASIIINGTON, May 11.——Sergeant Frank
Gottart, of the Third artillery, United
States army, committed suicide at the
arsenal by blowing out his brains with an
army rifle. Gottart had frequently com-
plained of being in trouble, but never ex-
plained the character of his difficulty. His
suicide is thought to have been the result
of despondency caused by drink. He was
aGei-man, about forty—five years of age,
and had been in the service ten years.
Stolen Bonds Turn Up.
BOSTON, May 11.—About six years ago
burglars robbed the Belmont Savings
bank and obtained a. number of negotiable
bonds valued at $3,350. No trace of the
thieves was found until a few days ago,
when one of the bonds turned up in Boston
and was recognized. The police found that
the security had been in the hands of John
J. Coonig. This man was arrested at the
North End and several more of the stolen
bonds have been recovered.
An Aged Lady Commits Suicide.
HAZLETON, Pa, May 11,—Mrs. Connolly,
aged 110, committed suicide by setting fire
to her bed. She had of late been very in-
firm and the neighbors, who have kept her
for the last twenty years, decided to send
her to the almshouse, where she would re-
ceive good care. She suspected this and
rather than suffer what she considered an
indignity, burned herself to death.
