A meeting of the New Orleans cotton ex- change was called to order at 1:50 o'clock p.m. the sarae day by President Chaifee, who stated that he had been called upon by a large com- mittee of members with the request that ho convene the institution in general meeting for the purpose of adopting a suitable rerolution indorsing the action of the citizens of New Or- Jeans in the deplorable event of the morning. Mr. Chafee said that inasmuch as all were fa- the events it was not necessary to te upon them. ‘They knew the facts and | they knew the necessity of the situation. He en caused the following preambie and resolu- tion to be read by the secretar; ‘Whereas the deplorable administration of criminal justice in this city and the extent to which the bribery of juries bi carried rendered it necessery for the citizens of New Orleans to vindicate outraged justice, it sol That while we deplore at all times the resort to violence, we consider the action taken by the citizens this morning to be proper und justifiable.” On motion of Mr. Lapeyre, seconded by Mr. Emmett, the preamble and resolution were unanimously adopted. Hesolutions of similar purport were also adopted by the board of trae (produce exchange), the sugar exchang and the stock exchange. FOREMAN SELIGMAN EXPELLED. ; The stock exchange met and discussed the action of Foreman Seligman of the Hennessy jury. As a result of the discussion Seligman was expelled, the resclution being unanimously adopted. Seligman was also expelled from the Young Men's Gymnastic Club. WHAT THE SURVIVORS SAY.

Hennessy died at 9 o'clock the next morning. He was rational to the last and declared that the murder was committed by Italians.

The feeling grew strong that for sei! preservation the people must assume the authority which they had delegated to the courts and which the courts were powerless to enforce. INSTRUCTIONS FROM ITALY. The Italian government instygeted Baron de Fava, the Italian minister at Washington, to Present a vehement protest to this government against the action of the New Orleans mob, and the government promixed to make an investi- fation. “Laron de Fava, ina dispatch to the ‘talian premier, stated that he had protested against the inaction of the local officials in New Orleans, and that Secretary Blaine 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 the decision would be communicated to the Italian government. ats OE OFFICIAL ATTENTION. Secretary Blaine’s Dispatch, by Direction of the President, to Gov. Nicholls. The New Orleans lynching received official attention last night when Secretary Blaine, writing for the President, sent the following telegram to Gov. Nicholis of Louisiana: It has been represented to the President by the minister of Italy accredited to this govern- ment that among the victims of the deplorable massacre which took place 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 Consti- tution is the supreme law of the land) guar- antees to the Italian subjects domiciied in the United States the most constant protection and security for their persons and property, making them amenable on the same basis a3 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 citi- zens of New Orleans should have so disparaged the purity and adequacy of their own judicial tribunals as to transfer to the passionate jadg- ment ofa mob a question that should have been adjudged dispassionately and by settled rules of 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 the hope of the president that you will co-operate with him in maintaining the obii- gations of the United States toward the Italian subjects who may be within the perils of the prerent excitement, that further bloodshed and | violence may be prevented and that all offend- ers against the law may be promptly brought | to justice.

Something About the Murder Societies of Sicily and Naples. La Mafia, the secret organization to whose achinations the assassination of Chief Hen- nessy, Which was summarily avenged in No Orleans Saturday is charged, is composed al- most entirely of Sicilians, and was founded by an Italian cutthroat named Mafia at Palermo a hundred years ago. The members are for the n:ost part criminals and counterfeiters, and hes- itate at no atrocity. - ‘The organization is based _on medieval senti- nt. tiv reluted to the Camorra of Nuples. confined not to Italians, but to baser kind of Greeks, who brin, custom, their secret societie and traditions of murder with them.

He may be a buily, a blackmailer. a murderer, but in whatever he does the public opinion of Sicily supports him still. The code of cthies which maintains him is called “omerta,” or manliness. Not long ago a wealthy proprietor was driving to kis home in the neighborhood of Palermo. Six buliets whizzed by him. None of them hit him.

Said a guide of a recent traveler in Sicily: “Yonder belongs to a most respectable man—a y respectable man, sir. ‘the other day he killed his cook. One of the most respectable men in these parts, sir.” Murder is the corner stone of the social fab- ric of Sicily. A Sicilian wishes to sell a farm ACopo Mutia wishes to buy it.

The more advanced pupi is styled “1 to di Sgarra.” ‘The finished scholar is thé Camorrista. ‘The novice marks out the victim, follows him and plays detective on him. The Picciotto is initiated into the secrets of the confraternity. He merely gets a handful of sons from the Camorrista.

CLAIM AXD PATENT EXPERT. mhj1am ae, 4 a m the cit St] as tote | The Evening Star is the Oldest and most firmly estab- lsbed newspaper published in the | District of Columbia, having won the | high position it holds in the confi- | dence of the people of Washfngton by forty years of faithful and unswerving devotion to their ingerests, withont regard to any other influence or com- sideration whatsoever. | Tum Srar is the Largest paper Published in Washington, with a general equipment and printing facil- ities three-fold greater and better than those of any other Washington paper; and, having the full Day Reports of both the New York Associated Press and the United Press, supple- |mented by an unequaled service of Exclusive Special Dispatches from al. prominent points in America and Europe, it prints more and fresher | Telegraphic News than any other Washington paper can possibly sup- pl greater amount and better quality of Local, Domestic and General Intelli- gence, and a larger quantity aad furnishing at the same time a nigher grade of Original and Selected Literary Miscellany than auy paper in che District. ; : — ‘ : Being dclivered at the homes of regylar subscribers for the t sum of ten cents per weck, Tr STAR is much the Cheapest paper published in the District, quantity and quality of contents heing considered. Tue Star’s circulation in the City of Washington is more than three times larger than that of any other newspaper, and the number of its readers mote than five times as many, It is therefore in that (or even greater) proportion the Best advertising med- ium in the District. On this point there is no ground for argument or ‘ doubt, even. It is the common testi- mony of the business community, and generally adinitted. * Note This Point. , ‘ Tue Star gives the exact figures of its circul-tion every week, and cheerfully opens its books and press and delivery rooms to any person having interest in the correctness of its statements, so that its patrons know precisely how much publicity they are getting when they buy space in its columns.
