Look entitled “HOW TO BE BEAU- LITTLE HOPE YOR THE TRIANA. ‘The Cutters Dexter and Gallatin Go to the Wrecked Torpedo Boat. New Beprorp, Mass., March 17.—Revenue cutters Dexter of Newport and Gallatin of Boston arrived in this harbor at 11 o'clock this morning. The Dexter had on board the officers and crew of the Triana, wrecked on Cuttyhunk while carrying provisions to the Galena and Nina wrecked off Gayhead. The Dexter left Newport at 5 o'clock this morning for Gayhead to render what assistance was posvible. She arrived at Cuttyhunk at 8:15 o'clock. She reported @ heavy sea and a strong south- west wind. The waves were breaking with terrible force over the Triana, and 1t was apparent that sho was doomed. ‘The bows have settled and the stern is lifted above water. If the wind continues it is expected she will go to pieces. ‘The Dexter merely sighted the Galena. She was in the fury of the waves, which were dashing over her — with’ such force that only the topmasts could bo seen through the mist. ‘The Dexter's officers would not speak of her condition or ees, but say they are much worse than ey were yesterday. They think all three vessels will be broken up. ‘The Gallatin, which left Boston yesterday, arrived at the Vineyard at 10 o'clock last night, where she lay until this morning, when she put out into the sonnd, but because of rough weather and an impossibility to be of service returned. It wax then she sighted the Dexter and accompanied her to this port. On arrival the crew of the ‘Triana were sent by rail to Newport and officers tried to get cominunication witl Commander Jewell of the torpedo station, under whose im- mediate orders they are. ‘The commanders of the cutters also telegraphed for orders, which they are awaiting. ‘They say that they can render no assistance to the vessels, and they will probably not be ordered on that duty. Collector ‘Laylor this morning received a dis- patch from Commander Bicknell of the Galena not to send rations as previously requested, if he had not aiready done so. He also received following dispatch from tho department at Washington: “Wasurxotox, D. C., March 15, 1891 sible send tow boat or large tug to of government steamer ‘Iriana at Cuttyhunk. Answer. (Signed) J. RB. Soley, acting secre- tary.” Collector Taylor, learning that a powerful tug had left Boston for Cuttyhunk, wired the Secretary of the Navy to that effect. pen S—heasais TEN THOUSAND CASES. Prevalence of the Grip or Something Like It in Minneapolis. Mrvxearotis, March 16.—The “grip” claimed its firet victim in Minneapolis this winter in the person of Thos. Callahan, an aged gentle- man from Ohio, who has been visiting with his hier, Mrs. James Hea- ney, of 425 street northwest, late Friday night. The grip, or rather that’ which most people designate as such, prevails to an extent which has caused much uneasiness. A careful estimate placee the number of cases in this city at fully 10,000. THE KINCAID-TAULDEK HOMICIDE. ber abe ‘The Case Called Today, but a Postponement Until Tomorrow Effected. “Are you ready to proceed?” was Justice Hagner's opening remark in the Criminal Court-this morning, and District Attorney C. ©. Cole, to whom the query wns addressed, intimated that he was by saying: “The case of the United States against Charles E. Kincaid was set for this morning. I do not see counsel for the defense, but I believe they will be here in a little while.” Tt was then 10:05. Hardly had Mr. Cole taken his seat before C. Maurice Smith of counsel for the defenso walked into the court room, fol- lowed immediately by the defendant, Chas. E. Kincaid. There was nothing in Mr. Kincaid’: demeanor that indicated apprehension; bad he been summoned merely as a wit- ness he could not have preserved a more thoroughly disinterested appearance, and the stranger who knew nothing of the case would probably find it difficult to imagine, from the defendant's demeanor, that Kincaid was charged with the killing of Representative ‘Taulbee of Kentucky. ‘THE GOVERNMENT READY FOR TRIAL. Col. Cole, who had Assistant District Attor- ney Clagett at his elbow, started in to transact business as soon as he saw the defense repre- sented. The government witnesses were called, and as the majority vocally indicated their resence, while others were known to be in the uilding, the prosecution declared itself ready to proceed. Counsel Maurice Smith demurred. Several of his witnesses had not arrived and could not be here for some days. The defense desired to submit an affidavit showing the material nature of the testimony of these witnesses, aud on this affidavit would move for a short postponement. By this time Judge Jere Wilson and ex-Rep- resentative Grosvenor, both of the defense, had jarrived, and Judge Wilson supported’ Mr. Smith's motion. He believed they would be piepared to go ahend by Thursday, and they tainly would be ready by Monday. ‘The de- fenso was doing all in its power to try the case, Col. Cole and Mr. Clagett united in declinit to agree toa postponement until the affidavit referred to was produced, so Judge Wilson asked the court for three’ hours, or until 1 o'clock. AN AFFIDAVIT TO BE PRESENTED. “Will you need so much time?” asked Justice Hagner, and when Mr. Smith said the paper would have to be carefully drawn the court said it was quite disposed to give all the time necessary for proper preparation and at once excused jurymen and witnesses until 1 o'clock. Among the many friends of Kincaid noticed in the court were Representative McCreary of Kentucky and Col. 0. 0. Stealey of the Louis- ville Courier Journal. ADJOUENMENT UNTIL, TOMORROW. Toward 1 o'clock the court room filled up rapidly and among the number were many wit- nesses—the government having about thirty and the defendant a few lees than that num- ber—and the members of the press were quite as numerous as the members of the bar. Dis- trict Attorney Cole and his assistant, Mr. Clagett, for the government, and Gen. Grosve- nor, of counsel for the defense, were prompt in attendance. The latter stated, on Judge that they were not quite ready with the affidavits. At 2 o'clock the court was adjourned till to morrow, when the affidavits will be presented. ciao cet TO BE APPOINTED A JUDGE, Commissioner Groff, it is Said, Will Be Transferred to the Land Claims Court. It is understood that Judge Groff, the com- missioner of the general iand office, will be ap- pointed one of the judges of the private land claimscourt. Judge Groff several weeks ago placed his resignation in the hands of the President, and it is stated that the Presi- dent has decided to accept the resignation and to give him the new ofiice. The reason for Judge Groffs resignation are understi to be that his relations with Secretary Noble were rather strained. Judge Cobb of is spoken of in connection with the vacancy caused by the rosignation of Judge Groff. eo es FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, New York Stock Market. WHAT ITALIANS. SAY. ‘Those Residing in Washington are Indignaut ‘Over the Affair. ‘THE LOCAL ITALIAN SOCIRTY WILL PROBABLY TAKE SOME ACTION—TALKS WITH PROMINENT MEM- BERS—THE TRAGEDY DENOUNCED IX PURDY's count. Mr. Gerome Desio, vice president of the Ttalian Society, speaking to a Stan reporter, said: “I do not like to see my people slanghtered in that way. There are plenty of Americans in Rome, and suppose the Italians should kill a dozen of them. What would be the result? Why, the Amenican government would rise up and cause trouble. The would want heavy damages from the Italian government. “There is @ government, law and courts to try people, and if the court says the mon are not guilty their decision should stand. If the governor did his duty such an affair would Probably neffer have happened. The law ought to take its course, and persons guilty of crimes ought to be punished. In Chicago the other day when an Italian killed a oliceman he was tried and executed. The tulians never complained of that, because it was done under the law and by those who had authority to do it.” When asked whether the Italian society here had taken any action he said they had not be- cause they were waiting to hear from the New York society and would probably follow the course adopted by them. “Do you think the trouble is all over?” asked the reporter. “Ido not,” was Mr. Desio's reply. “When the government of the state sanctions such conduct and the people can kill as the; did in this case, without bei punished, it not reasonable to think that other people won't be killed. My opinion is that the people down there will keep up killing cach other.” In answer to a question as to what the Italians generally think of the affair he replied, “They all think it could not be worse. I aski the opinion of many of our people yester and they all thought alike. Many of them were so nervous and excited that they could not read the newspaper accounts of the killing.” A siciLiay’s views. Pasquale Dimaryo isa Sicilian and has been in Washington thirty-two years. He is a bar- ber on Pennsylvania avenue. This morning speaking toa Stan reporter about the killing of the Sicilians in New Orleans he said. “The whole thing is an outrage and a disgrace to the people of the United States. The jury had cleared these men. ‘The jury was composed of citizens of the United States—not Italians— and the people should have abided by the law. This Mafia is something new to me. I don't even know the meaning of the word. Ob, no! ‘There's no such organization in Washington. The Italians here are hard-working, indus- trious people, and mind their own business.” WHAT MR. CABANBA SAYS. Stephen G. Casassa, the well-known fruit dealer. is a prominent man in the Italian Bene- ficial Society of this city. He has been in this country since he was twelve years of age and has always been an active mover in Italian matters. "He said: “This murder of eleven men_ declared inno- cent by twelve Americans is without doubt the Greatest outrage ver perpetrated and is a dis- grace to the people of New Orleans, “Now, hud the killing taken place before the jury had de- clared the men innocent matters would have assumed a somewhat different aspect. I am not in favor of any mass meeting in thiscity. It can be productive of no good and will only tend to stir the whole thing up again. We can do nothing. Our government can and should, and all wo can do is to wait and see how thi dreadful thing is going to be dealt with. “This Mafia Society is something new to me. As I understand it it's no good. We have none here, that’s certain. Washington has the best colony of Italians I know of anywhere in the country.” Maj. Moore's Hope. Speaking of the New Orleans affair Maj. Moore, chief of police, said: “I hope it will not only end in putting down the Mafia, but also in a better administration of justice.” ‘MR. GATTO'S VIEWS. One of the most prominent Italian residents of Washington, Mr. Joseph Gatto, in a conver- sation with a Sran reporter today said: “If those men were guilty of the murder of Chief | societies and prominent 5 oY | BOOT AND SHOE MEN. ‘The State Departunent Grently Embarrassed— | 4 Delegation Prom tioton Calls on Secret: ry | President Hort and the Commissioners Bis THE NEW ORLEANS TRAGEDY.

Whe action of | the President in communication with the gov- | ernor of Louisiana asking tor information on the subject was the only thing to be done until » reply from the nor had been received. A | thorough investigation of the matter would, of | course, be made, and after that Congress would | have to be cailed upon for action, the State De- partment baving no moncy to pay indemuites or anything of that sort. Whether it is a case for money indemnity would be for Congress, not the State Department, to decide. What- ever 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 responsbility for those who were citizens of a foreign country that there might be would fall upon the United States. ‘MR. M'OREARY'S VIEWS. Representative McCreary, formerly chairman of the House foreign affairs committee, said to Star reporter this morning that the State Department had no money it could spend in the case, and that it was difficult to tell just what they could do. ‘They would have to awsit the reply of Gov. Nichols to the such further investigation of the matter as they could. Then they would probably have to re- port to Congress for such action as that body thought proper. IN CASE OF A RIOT AT NEW ORLEANS. In case of a riot in New Orleans there will be notining for the government to do unless the governor of the state should call for aid in sup pressing the trouble, or unloss the property of the government in the city should be deemed in er. There are two companies of artillery at Fort Jackson, Miss, which, it is thoughi, will be quite sufficient to’ quell any street rows that might arise in case the Italians should do any overt act that would bring on a general ontbreak. Secretary Proctor is in New Orleans today, on his way to Texas, ¥ see Gov. Nichols with regard to the action of the War Department in case of trouble. NO NEW DEVELOTNENTS. Secretary Blaine stated at midday that there were no new develdpments in the La Matia troubles in New Orleans. He had not received a reply from Gov. Nichols of Louisiana to his telegram of Sunday night. He was in re- t of numerous telegrams from Italian Twliens through- out the country in regard to the matter, evidencing the deep feeling and killing had aroused in this country hands in official circles the killing is deo} plored, but as far as opinions expr diplomatic circles indicate, the Unite cannot in any be held respoi the killing. It is purely a political matter of state jurisdiction, and if any indemnity is demented it cannot be from the state. The demang, of course, will eome from the Italian government through its minister resident and transmitted to the secretary of Louisiana through the State Depurtment That is the diplomatic route, but it will not in any way commit the Unitec States to the pay- ing of an indemnity.

First .| prices as compared with the finals of Saturday were in most cases from 34 to 34 per cent. higher, while sugar was up1 per cent. The activity was otill principally in the grangers and Louis- ville, with Burlington and Quincy and St. Paul leading, the general list being again compara- tively neglected, although the trading extended toa large number of stocks.

This country is for Ame there is no room for peo- ple of the sort that the murderers of Hennessy would seem to have been. It is a mistake to think that ali Italians are alike. We are all under one flag. but there are black sheep under that flag as well as any other. ‘The better class of Italians in this city have taken no steps to show any sympathy for the men who were lynched in New Orleans, nor has any money been subscribec to be sent south. The Italian society here has held no meeting. “That class of people represented by the men who were shot in New Orleans should be kept out of the country in the first place. ‘They do not come here with any intention of becoming good citizens. and they are the very lowest class of people in the places they come from. They are brought here in big bands to do contract work under padrones and they are led or driven 80 many sheep. If they choose to commit crimes and it is then found that the law cannot reach them, it is no more than is to be expected that the people should take the law into thei: hawk. Itis nota race trouble at all, but a trouble between the people and a lot of law- breakers. Whether the right method of pun- ishment was used or not is altogether another questio: In answer to the reporter's Gatto denied most emphatically that there was branch of the Mafia in Washington. IN THE ITALIAN QUARTER. Purdy’s court, on Ist street between Pennsyl- vanin avenne and B, contains more Italians than any other locality in the city. It is prin- cipally the homes of the men who sell fruit from the push carts about the street and is known as headquarter. Here all Italians go the mo- ment they strike the city. Areporter of Tux Sraz picked his way be- tween the push carts this morning as they were being loaded for the day. The court, which is in reality nothing but.a large T-shaped alley, presented quite a lively appearance. ‘The men were busy loading their carts and the women, with their bright red bandanas, stood about in the doorways. Not all the men were at work. ‘There was one old fellow, with a moth-eaten looking beard, sitting on an empty orange box, reading the New York Italian newspaper, L’ ce, D Hai, with its columns all in mourn 3 The scribe approac! “Do you 6] Eng ‘A fittien, bit.

A gentleman who is a native of New Orleavs and who is perfectly familiar with the people there, and also with the political troubles that they have had and the excitement that has been caused, said to a Sram reporter this morn- in “In seasons of political excitement it is of the greatest interest to all concerned that oe- currences, especially those of a tragic charac- ter and resulting in bloodshed and temporary disorder and defiance of law, should not be judged harshly at first. -The real facts should be known and the actual situation understood order that any fair or reasonable criticism of the community may be reached. As to this terrible affair at New Orleans it ought to be borne in mind that ti is the last, so far, of a long line of civil feuds and political tragedies, and it is impossi- ble for any one not well informed with the con- dition of things, political as well as social, which have existed for a long time in New Orleans and in the state of Louisiana to real- ize what has just taken place there. But for one acquainted with the community it is the natural result of what has gone before. “In my opinion the verdict of acquittal brought in by the jury was the result of fear for their own and their families’ lives and safety rather than the result of pecuniary cor- ruption or bribery. It may well be said that some of may have been approached by fixer, but no doubt the large proportion of ‘the jury acquiesced the result from a sense of apprehension as to their own safety in the event that a verdict of guilty had been bronght in against any or all of the ac- cused. It is generally believed that the jurors as well as members of the committee of safety had received threatening communications from the Mafia and other unknown writers. “It is unfortunate that any attempt is being made to give to this affair an international or race aspect. The individuals who were ar- raigned and subsequently executed outside the forms of law were instances proceeded against, purely and simply as individuals charged with assassination and conspiracy, to continue the work of assassination subject to the orders of a secret and murderous organiza- tion, and without any reference whatever as to whether they were Americans, Italians, French- men, Englit Dagoes. the they will discharge the burden which has been tnfart to charge the clticena of New, * Orleans unjust to cl ci we with the offenses and disturbance of the shove about and a low growl.
