Rocxviite, Mareh 17, 1891. ‘Today a man giving bis name as Daniel Ben- sil was arrested at Brookeville, this county, and committed to jail at this place by Justice Leon- ard Ware, charged with being a suspicious character. He made his appearanceat Brooke- ‘Ville some hours before his arrest on foot, claiming to have walked there from Washing- ton, and had in his possession two watches, a razor and $20 in money. His accoynt of him- self was so contradictory that at the instigation of Mr. Wm. B. Miller he was arrested until further information can be obtained. He claims to have been released from the Mary- land house of correction on Saturday last and from there went to Washington, from which place he was making his way to his homo at Woodsboro, Frederick county. While on his way here to jail he acknowledged that his name wes not Bensil, but Levi Fogle, and tonight he stated that he had served two terms in the house of correction and two in the penitentiary of this state—the first term in the latter place being for the theft of a horse from Mr. John Hendenogle near Taneytown, which term was for three years and nine ths. The second term was under a set nce from the cireuit court of Frederick for thirteen months for larceny. Fogle rman about fifty-two years old, of ligh: compiexion and about five feet two inches in height. He claims that the articles found on him when he was arrested belonged to him and were returned to him by the officers of the house of correction when he wns released. ‘The officers of the house of correction have been communicated with and he wili be held until farther information is obtained.

In the afternoon, after consultation with the other physicians in attendance, Dr. Bacelli informed King Humbert that the end was near. The last agony soon followed. Prince Victor, shortly before the end, entered the room in which his father was dying, but was so overcome with emotion that he left the apartment sobbing violently. The Abbe Pujol, it is announced, prior to the prince’s death, administered the last sacraments of the Roman Catholic Church. The funeral of Prince Napoleon will be con- ducted with religious ceremonies. The death chamber has been converted into a mortuary chapel, hung with biack cloth and with black velvet.

A. R. ‘They Are as Ready as Ever to Work for the Cause of Home Rule. Upon his arrival at Hastings yesterday after- noon Mr. Gladstone received a perfect ovation. The streets were brilliantly decorated with bunting arid the veteran parliamentarian was welcomed in truly royal style. His address was statement of the position of the English lib- erals. That referring to the Irish parliamentary Party is of especial interest to America. He remarked that the party now existing was the result of along series of events and united efforts. It could not be disputed that the mem- bers of this party wére bound to sink their indi- vidual opinion and bow to the opinions of the majority. That opinion had been generally used in the interesis of the empire.

The conservatives might pass a measure for home rule on the lines indicated by the liberals, but the “ill- starred abortion called union liberals” were the Teal objectors to a home-rule measure.

The Parnellites interpret Mr. Gladstone's speeches at Hastings as testimony to thee- turning prominence and power of Parnell. ‘Timothy Harrington last evening expressed himself delighted with the fact that Parnell s opponents in the English liberal party had | beea driven at length to come cut from th secret and covert methods of attack and t up che euullenge thrown down to them. Mr. Harcington said that Mr. Gladstone evidently regarded Mr. Parnell as the only Irish repre- sentative worth talking about, as he had not wasted many words on anybody else. ‘the speech was intended, Mr. Harrington said, as an answer to Mi asa uotice to Irish people that they must de~ pose Parnell as their leader or give up all clam on the English liberals. Mr. Gladstone would Parnell s manifesto and also find. however, that Irish-Americans and uve irish people were capable of getting along with- out English advice.

For obvious reasons’ they do not care to figure in unfriendly criticism of the liberal leader, but one of the prominent MeCarthyite M.

While the Italian trial was going on they were in the court room trying to curry favor with the Italiaas and win Italian votes.” BLACKMAILED THEIR OWN COUNTRYMEN. A statement was published in New Orleans last evening that Scaffredi, an uncleof the man of that name who was slain Saturday, had been blackmailed by the Mafia about five years ago. Five hundred dollars were demanded, but Provenzano and others advised him not to pay. The Matia finally agreed to take $250, provid- ing the victim would pay for the dinner that pears to follow successtul robbery and precede contemplated inurders. To get from under the ban Scaffredi agreed to the terms and went with Matranga to the swamp, where two masked men were met. Matranga explained to them that Scaffredi was showing a disposition to do the best he could and the amount he was willing to pay should satisfy them. The masked men agreed to this, and the party, together with others, afterward enjoyed the ‘spread at the expense of Scaffredi. DRAWING LOTS TO KILL HENNESSY. It is understood that Politz, one of the men killed, in his confession to the attorneys of the state, stated that previous to the assassination of Superintendent Hennessy there was a meet- ing held at a house on North Peters near Canal street and largely attended by Italians, among whom were Joseph P. Macheca and Jas. Caruso. At this meeting it was decided that Hennessy should die, and, in ordez to settle upon who should assassinate him, ten slips of paper were placed in a hat with a large number of blanks. ‘hoever drew the slips bearing the numbers | were tadothe murder. When drawing the men who held the numbered slips were each given 100 and promised more when it was shown that Hennessy was dead. Macheca procured the weapons with which the chief was slain and gave them to Politz. THREE NOT NATURALIZED. Signor Pasquale Corte, the Italian consul at New Orleans, says there will be no attempt at retaliation. He also claims that the Italian subjects who were slain were Monastero, Ma: chesi, Trahina and Cometez, but he thought the lust named had taken out naturalization pers. Te records of the registration office in this city show that Antonio Marchesi was registered as a voter October 3, 1890. He was one of the four that the Italian.consul claimed were still Italian subjects. No record is found of Monas- tero, Cometez or Trabina. ‘The result of the events of Saturday is that the Provenzanos and Matrangas are accusing ni each other of being members of the Mafia, a1 become | known.

The Latter Prefers Reciprocity Relations With the United states. ‘The burean of the American republics has information that overtures recently made by the government of Canada to the govermnent of British Guiana for a reciprocity treaty were rejected by the latter on the ground that an arrangement of this character with the United States is preferred. Mr. George E. Foster, the finance minister of Canada, addressed a letter to the Right Hof. Viscount Gormanston, the governor of British Guiana, in which he stated that he was authorized to make the following proposals with a view to the extension of trade between the two colonies: “First. The government of Canada will ask such legislation as will permit the introduction of ail sugars, being the product of the British West India islands and British Guiana, to be used for refining purposes at a reduction from the present duty of about 25 per cent, and of fruits being the product of the said colonies at a reduced differential duty to be agreed upon. Second. In return for this differential treat- ment of sugars and fruits, the said colonies are asked to accord au equivalent differential treat ment to the products of Canada imported into their territory, comprised under the following heads: (a) The ‘Eretncte of the forest. (b) ‘The products of the sea. (c) Agricultural pro- ducts of all kinds. (d) Animals and their pro- ducts. (e) Coal. (f) Such manufactured arti- cles as may be agreed upon. “As an earnest of its desire to enlarge its trade relations with the British West Indies and British Guiana the government of Canada has already made arrangements to establish two important lines of steam communication— one to make sixtcen trips_per year between St. Johu and Demerara, touching “at all the prin- cipal leeward and windward islands, and one making twelve trips per year between Halifax and Jamaica—the cost of’ which to Canada will amount to abuut $88,000 per year. |. ‘In return for these which are of equal benefit to both Canada and the colonies, the government and Canada confidently ex- pects the co-operation of your government in the way of reusonable concessions to the lines secured for exhibition a most remarkable col- lection of antiquities, which has been gathered by #famons collector of that country during investigations for the last thirty-five or forty years. The collection includes many articles of gold and silver, of an intrinsic value of $35,000, and the whole collection is estimated to be worth $120,000.

Lyon returned to Cutty Hunk today, The wind being northwest and favora- ble fr work, have directed him to remain in neighborhood until the wrecking steamer has reached the Triana. ‘Triana’s crew returned to station last night. Lyon's report yesterday said: “Triana not pounding,’ althongh the sea was rough, blowing half a’ gale from south- west all yesterday, which does not improve chance of saving vessel. Marshall ret at Cutty Hunk.” DAVID POSTON'S MURDER, He Was Defending the Good Name of His Sister. The last vestige of the defense set up by H. Clay King for the killing of his brother-in-law, David Poston, last Tuesday in Memphis is swept away by a recent statement made by Col. T. P. Chambers of Little Rock. He says, in reference to the claim of King that Poston had in open court accused him (King) of mak- ing infamous charges against his own wife, that Poston did nothing of the kind. Chambers wrote the answer and cross-bill in the case him- self ant there was nothing in either that re- flected upon Mrs. King. On the contrary. Pos- ton threatened to quit the case if a certain paper in Mrs. Pillow’s possession written by King and containing false and cruel accusa- tions against Mrs. King was breught into the case, and it was owing to Poston’s chivalrous regard for Mrs. King’s feelings that this paper was not mentioned in the pleadings. Thus it appears that King killed a man who had disre- garded the interests of his own client out of respect for King’s family: ON TRIAL FOR COWARDICE. Capt. Henry Catley Arraigned Before a Court Martial. A general court martial convened at depart- ment headquarters in Omaha on Monday to try Capt-Honry Catley, second infantry, on the charge of cowardice and conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman at Pine Ridge Agency. There are four specifications in the complaint, which is signed by Lieut. Kinzie, adjutant of the second infantry. Capt. Catley pleaded not guilty to the charges. The only witness examined was Lieut. W. J. Turner of the second infantry. He testified that on the day of the attack on the mission company C and four other companies were or- «dered to hold themselves in readiness to the assistance of the seventh cavalry, which was engaged with the hostile Indians. ‘apt. Catley told witness that he was not feeling well and that if the company was ordered out witnens would have to go out in command of it. On December 31 the company was ordered to go after the hostiles on White river and Capt. Cat- ley again told the witness that he would have to take command of the company, as he was unable to go on account of sizknese. On Jan- uty 1 witness took command of the company and continued in command until the company returned to Fort Omaha, when Capt. Catley again took command. Captain Catley cross- examined the witness, but little was brought out and the court adjourned until today. avi Andrew D. White fer Governor of New York. ‘The Ithaca Journal has nominated Hon.
