A Cargo of Sioux on Their Way to Europe With Buffato Bill. There were two carloads of Indians and feathers and paint in the Baltimore and | Ohio station yard this morning, and despite |the rain and its necompanying discomforts quite a crowd of curious white people and not a few people who were not white gathered around the cars and expressed opinions as to the character of the aboriginal specimens temporarily sojourning in their midst.

The King of Italy Dissatisfied With the Progress of Adjustments Between the Two Goanteicn Ténching the'New Oricans Mas: sacre—The Administration Surprised. Baron Fava, the Italian minister, presented a formal document to the State Department authorities this morning which surprised them considerably. It was none other than a letter announcing that he desired his passports to Italy, having been reéalled from his diplomatic post in this 3 | country by his own government. ‘The reason given was that the “King of Italy was dissatisfied with the progress of ad- justments between the two countries touching the New Orleans massacre.” In consequence of this feeling on the part of his government Baron Fava felt compelled to withdraw from the country, leaving the Marquis Imperiali, secretary of legation, in charge of current affairs. ‘The baron’s passport, of course, will be given to him at once. XO COMMENTS IX OFFICIAL CIRCLES. The situation is so new and serious that no official comments can be obtained at this hour from any source. There must be time for the administration to think, and, barring two hours’ cabinet ses- sion of today, it has as yet had little or no op- Portunity to digest the facts in a calm manner. Secretary Blaine, it is stated today, will make . an official announcement _of Baron Fava's recall, possibly containing the ultimatum of this government tomorrow but in the meantime the baron’s pleasant per- sonal relations with the State Department and this country will have been severed. It is doubtful whether, in view of the extra- ordinary circutastancos of the recall, there will be the formalities at the White House usual upon such an occasion as the departure of a minister. Indeed when this affair is looked at from a distance of time it will appear tohave been very much hurried. GOV. NICHOLLS’ LETTER CAUSED THE TROUBLE. The letter from Gov. Nicholls to Secretary Blaine caused the trouble. It was received here several days ago, and a copy was sent at once to Baron Fava. This, of course, gave it the appearance of being the ultimatum of this government, and it appears that the baron accepted it as such and cabled it in that character to his government. Baron Fava has worked for his home interests to the degree of appearing over-zealous at this end of the line, but today's developments would indicate that there could not haye been too much zea! on his part to suit his government, which appears to have made tho matter an issue of the highest importance. NOT MERELY DISCOURTESY, BUT OPEN HOSTILITY. Those commenting on the surprising event of the day agree that to break away from this Sgovernment is not merely an act of discourtesy, but of open how tility. To have done it pending the in- vestigations and progress of the law in New Orleans is significant, it is said, of an utter io | disregard of the conventionalities and ethics of modern diplomacy. Indeed, in that light, this government now bas logical reason for feeling affronted at this lack of faith in its as- surances on the part of its hot-headed neigh- dor. ITALY HAS ACTED TOO HASTILY. It will probably turn out that the Italian government has acted very hastily in this matter and has unnecessarily involved the two nations in a serious difficulty. The State De- partment has not yet ceased the investigation into the lynching and it bas not yet been fally developed whether or not the men killed were Italian subjects. The proper course would have been, it is said, for the question of the citizenship of the men killed to have been | settled first and then for some sort of arbitra- tion. By this action om the part of Italy the United States has been cut off right in the middle of the investigation and, it is thought, treated in any but a courteous manner. WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.

KINCAID’S TRIAL, ‘More Witnesses Examined asto Threats Made by Taulbee, ‘MRS. MILMORE TELLS OF AN IMPORTANT CONVER- SATION WITH DONALDSON SHORTLY AFTER THE DENOE AS TO HIS PEACEABLE CHARACTER. ‘Tho defense in the Kincaid case today was evidently drawing near a close. Nearly every point emphasized in Gen. Grosvenor's opening had up to noon today been traversed in testi- mony except facts relating to Kincaid’s move- ments between the time of the encounter with ‘Taulbee at the east door of the House and the shooting. ‘There has been evidence offored.asto Kincaid’s physical condition and the physical disparity between Taulbee and Kincaid. ‘There has been testimony tending to show that Tanlbee bad threatened Kinesid and that at the encounter preceding the fatal meeting ‘Taulbee assaulted Kineaid and bade him arm himself. ‘There has been testimony also controverting that of the government as to what occurred at the fatal meeting and tending to show that at the instant of the shooting Taulbee was in the act of assaulting Kineaia. Of course the relative woight of the testimony for the prosecution and thedefense on these points is still to be discussed. The government has in- dicated its intention to hold the view that the threats testitied to, at least iri most cases, were too remote from the time of the shooting. One point that the defense iv endeavoring to make impressive is the position of the men when the shot was fired. The distance between the two men is deemed by them of import- ance as bearing on the question whether Taul- bee was not at the time approaching Kincaid ina menacing manner. In this connection an interesting question was argued before the court today as to the admission of the testimony of a man who had made ex- iments with a pistol to see at what distances From the muzzle of the ‘pistol’ powder marke would be mace on sheote of paper. ‘There is testimony in the ease, given by physicians, that Taulbeo's face was powder-burue THE TURN OF THE STATRS. ‘There has been considerable testimony as to the point where the shooting occurred, where Taulbee and Donaldson stood when Kincaid came upon them and how long they stood there. “Diagrams and drawings have ex- hibited in court to aid the jury in determining the different questions raised. The shoot- ing occurred on or just below the lower platform of the stairway on the east of the Hall of Representatives leading from the main floor to the basement floor of the House. ‘This stairway is a double one at its beginning on the main floor. Twoseparate stairways lead down to platforms. ‘Then turning at right angles there is another short stairway on each ing to m common stairway on the center, and from this common platform there isasingle stairway leading down to the base- ment floor. The accompanying cuts, showing a view of the last single stairway leadiug down from the lower platform xnd also the angle or turn at the platform, were made from drawings eubmitted in court by the defense. There is some difference in state- ments of witnesses, Taulbec and Donaldson had halted at the top of this last stairway, when Kincaid came upon the platform around the angis and the sbooting occurred. “It was at the foot of the stairway timt the witness Stillman says he was lean- ing against the corner when be heard a Voice raised bebind him and turning and looking up the stairs saw the shooting, and, as he described it, mw. ‘Tanlbeo rushing’ toward Kincaid, when the pistol flashed. Counsel for the defense said today that they expected to finish their testimony tomorrow. AMmS. MARY L. MILMORE. ‘When the trial was resumed this morning Mrs. Mary L. Milmore was called to the stand. Mirs, Milmore was attired neatly in black, and beneath the edge of ber neat black bonnet was @ litle fringe of white crepe. Mrs. atilmore was examined by Gen. Grosvenor. She said the Arlington, where Mr. Douadson boarded. ‘She met air. Doualdson at dinner about 6:30 Oelock on the day of the ‘Lauibce shooting.

Mr. Taulbee returned twice that day, On the secoud or third time he came in he seemed much excited, applied epithets to Mr. Kincaid and used some threats. itness could not tell what bis words were. Each time’ witness walked away as Taulbee was joined by others. MM. OFORGR PAKER. Geo. Baker, a Kentuckian, a member of the board of appeals of the Interior Department. He knew of Kineaid’s ‘reputation as that of a man whose reputation had never been ques- tioned. His reputntion for peace and good order was good in Kentucky. On cross-exam- ination the witness said he had never hoard Kincaid’s reputation questioned or discussed. say F. DURMaM. Jay F. Durham, the newspaper correspondent, now residing in New York, was next called. He testified that in 1588 and 1889 he was engaged here as correspondent, having been, as he stated, ‘an able and distinguished net writer.” He remembered the newspaper cations giving rise to a difficulty between Taul- bee and Kincaid. He had heard Twulbee used —— in segmee 1889, and im the — wing. At the time witness represen: among other papers the Louisville Courier- Journal. Kincaid, who represented the Louis- villo Times, was then sick in the tal and witness was in part looking after Kincaid’'s work. Witnets called Tauibee out of the House and asked him for news. Taulbee asked wit- ness for what paper and witness said the Louis- Ville Times. ‘Tauibee said he would be willing to give the witness news, but added: “If it is for Kincaid or the Times I will not give it. I ought to have killed Kincaid when he published that story abont me. If he ever comes in my path again I will kill him.” The wituess said he had subsequently com- muniented the threats to Kincaid. The wit- ness was asked as to Kinenid’s physical condi- tion during the preceding summer, but the testimony was ruled out as too remote. MISS EMILY KINCAID. Miss Emily Kincaid, the sister of the defend ant, who has been sitting at his side during the trial, was then called to the stand and examined by Mr. Wilson. After the shooting, she said, she came from her home in Kentucky and saw her brother in the District jail. She came to the city on the 14th of March. She was asked as to Kincaid’s physical condition at that time, but objection was made and sustained. Exception was noted. Mr. Cole said that Kincaid’s condition after the shooting had no bearing. The wit- ness was ie oe to state = Kincaid left the city for his home in Kentucky after the shooting or how long he remained in Kentucky. JOHN P. most. John P. Most of the Capitol police force, who placed Kincaid under arrest, was called to the stand and asked by Mr. Smith what Kincaid said when he gave himself up. Objection was made that the defendant's rations could not be put in evidence in his own bebalf. Mr. Smith urged that the testimony was ad- missible as contradictory of witnesses Lovell and Donaldson, who said that Kincaid stated after declaring he shot Taulbee, “he insulted me this morning” or “he assaulted me.” The witness was permitted to state whether he had heard these additional words and said he did not hear him make use of such words. Witness had seen Taulbee that day about 12:25 o'clock at the corner of 3d and East Capitol streets near Taulbee's lodgings. Taulbee was in a bansom cab alone, ant witness as witness was on his way to the Capitol. On cross-examination the witness said that there were several persons on the scene of the shooting before witness arrived. He did not know what Kincaid mixht have said. On re-direct examination the witness said he Was quite sure Donaldson was not at the foot of the steps when he arrived. MR. 3X0. P. MILLER RECALLED. Mr. Jno. P. Miller of Tux Evesrvo Stan was recalled to the stand by Mr. Smith. He said he bad a conversation with Wood- bridge, the doorkeeper at tho cast door of the House, a few minutes after the shooting. The witness was asked if Woodbridge had not stated to him that in the encounter at the door Taulbee had not said to Kincaid, “You little monkey,” or “You little puppy,” and told him to go arm himself, = e question was objected to as not agreei with wh : ‘oodbridge, sod hat had been asked We while the record of searched the witness, in nse to other nestions,said he had known Kincaid ever ainco e latter had been in the city. His general Teputation for peace and good order was good. Vhen the record was brought Mr. smith modified hie question and asked if Mr. Wood- bridge had not quoted ‘Taulbee as raying Kineaid: “You had better be armed,” “You had better be.” The witness, on crose-examination, said he did not. remember whether he took notes of the conversation or not; he usually no notes. He knew of Kincaid’s reputation in a general way and had heard it discussed and spoken of many times prior to, the shooting. ‘The fact that ‘he had ‘n under threats gave rise to it,or that it was currently rumored that he was under threats gave rise to such discus- sions, testimony was being to or, MR. JOHN Lonts. John Loris was then called for as a witness and Gen. Grosvenor opened the argument on the question raised lastevening as to the ad- missibility of testimony of experiments made since the shooting to show at what distance powder from un exploding pistol would burn e person shot at. Gen. Grosvenor referred to the experiments proved aud admitted in the Ward trial as to the direction take: y a de- flected bullet. He referred toa recent case, where the model of the interior of a mine had been introduced and experiments made. He referred to other cases where experiments had Deen admitted. A QUESTION OF VITAL mepoRTAxce. The question of where these parties stood and their distance apart at the time of the shooting was of viial importgnce. How were they to ascertain it? They should be allowed to prove that distances from a muzzle of « gun or pistol were indicated by the marks of powder. ‘They desired to exhibit the results of experi- ments with a pistol exactly the same to show the marks made upon white surfaces. Gen. Grosvenor read the testimony and decision in a Pennsylvania cave where experiments were proved showing the effect of the powder from pistol shots at various distances. Science, he said, had been bronght to the aid of the legal profession; it demoustrated the effect of pistol shots, of falling slate, as in the mine case referred to. of faulty construction of or locomotives, They knew that pow- der expoded from @ pistol biaekened the ob- ject in front. ‘MB.
