New Oureans, La, May 6.—The States Tl report of the grand jury brings it a number of sta or less directly concerning the assassination of the late superinterdent of, police of this city, the miscarriage of justfce in the prose- cution of the murdercrs and the subsequent lynching of the latter in the parish prison Naturally the grand jury could indict no cne, ©or no number of those concerned in this busi- moss.

It muy be said that the finding of the grand jury excited no surprise, for some such con- clusion of the case was expected. The at- tempt to palliate the infraction of the law by off-setting the alleged attempts at jury tixing are deprecated at the department, vut there is & well defined opinion on the ‘wholo that the outcome of the case will be benoficial in its effect upon the turbulent foreign element in the United States, wasmuch as it 10 them the fact that they cannot rely on treaties to evade the responsi- bilities tc at republic for their unlawful acts. The report pected, reach the d jury will, it is ex- v Blaine in the course of time and figure in the ofticial correspond- ence botween the United States and Italy. There is reason to beliove that in some de tails it differs from the report made to the depavtment of justice by District Attorney Grant and notably in the matter of the na- of the'vietims. The grand jury port found eight of them naturalized Anier- an_citizens and that one declared his inten- tion to become naturalized, District Attorney Grant, it is beheved, found one of the vi tims of Italian nationality, but he was an escaped convict, and that unother's nation- ality was so doubtful as to make it unsafe to hazzavd an opinion, so, at any rate, the Italian complaint will be narvowed down to at least two persons, oue of them being an escaped convict. Although the United States has uo naturalization treaty with Italy, the last named nation has invariably, through comity, recognized our naturalized citizens as tionality v free from amenability to their native govern- ment, was When the case of these two victims considernd the question imme- y arose whother treaty stipulations with * Ttaly were broken. This question likely to figure in the correspondence between the two governments as soon as the Italian government is ready to fall reason- ably into the usual diplomatic method of treating a subject respecting which they took issue with another nation. Unless it appears clearly that the treaty has been violated the Italian case falls to the ground, and leading diplomatic minds of the state department maintain that this fact canuot be made to appear, It1s learned that Porter our minister at Rome, applied to the department of state for leave of absence before the New Orleans affair happened. He has been constantly on duty since March, 1880, more than two years, Moreover the sickly season is approaching in Rome, so that it is entirely probable his re- quest will be granted. Attorney General Miller said he read the report of the grand jury, but declined abso- lutely to express any opinion regarding it or to discuss it in any way. ? Secretary Foster, when asked his opinion on the report, said he really had rot time to read it, and therefore was not in a position to express an opinion regarding it. BHOOKLYN'S MAKFIA MEMBERS. They Were Freely Bled by Their Brethren in New Orleans. Nrw Yorg, May 6.—The Italian colony in South Brooklyn is situated in the cleventh and fifteenth polico precincts, mostly in the former. A reporter called on Detective Oran S, Bourke of that precinct yesterday and esked if the Mafia hada foothold in Brookiyn. Detective Bourke has been in that precinct for years and is as intimately acquainted with the doings of the Italiuns as avy American can be. He said: “Certainly the Mafia exists in Brooklyn, At the time of the New Orleans trials, previ- ous to the lynching, a number of Italians in the procinct brought to the station house let- ters they had received ordering them to put up some money, in some cases as high as $200, and to haveitin a certan place at a certain time. Why, that shoe black yonder paid in $10.” Detective Sergeant Dan Daly of the fif- teenth precinet, an officer of many years' ex- perience along the water front_in the Italian section of the city, said: “Of course the Matia exists here. T was handed one of the letters demanding mouey. It was sent to a man not far from here, directing him to tell his brother-in-law to put up £200, and it was decorated with ferocicus pictures of death heads and crossbones and other pleasant looking emblems affected by the Mafia, INDICTED $OR PERJURY, A Rabid Italian Editor Gets Himself » Trouble.

Wm. Foss, a member of the firm, was in attendance at a meeting at the Grand Pacitic hotel in 1888 which were represented C. W. Hartly, Sal & Ross, S. B. Walton, R.F.Cummings, Moore & Bushuell, the Union grain comp 0. Barnard, Curtis & Bowman, D. A. F ericks, WS, Raokin, J. Shunkmiler and the o elovator company. A syndicate was formed to buy up cash corn and May options in corn in Chicago, and Foss agreed to fur- nish the necessary money, saying thero would be no troublé to corner the market as his firm had 150 customers in lowa whom they could control. He recovered judgment as payment for the work. Thoe court sai “This was_clearly a combination to en- hance the price of corn. 1t was not only w purchase corn, but to prevent the free seiling of the same. They were to control the prices of a stable commodity, one of the prime ne- cessities of life, and to compel those in need of corn to pay the price determined, not by eutire freedom, but a price to which their combination might be able to force the mar- ket. This is surely against public policy and under the common law of & century and a half ago would have been a criminal offense. The law will not attempt to adjust the differ- ences which arise out of transactions which it condemns, It will leavo parties where their own conduct leaves them. It will not compel them to divide their plunder or part the loss of unlawful enterprises, neither will it require them to remunerate those who,with full cognizance of the character of such un- dertakings assist them with money or ser- vices,” n. NUNTING FOR A MAN, Director General Davis is searching indus- triously for a chief for the department of for- eign affairs. He is seeking also to get a man of national or international reputation. He has now under advisement John A. Kasson and John Hay, formerly privato secretary to President Abrabam Lincoln and one of the joint editors of the life of Lincoln which was published in an eastern magazine, Neither of thd men mentioned has been se- cured, although it has leaked out througa the foreign exhibits committee that the director general is desirous of the services of ons of these men. This depart- ment, it is conceded, is one of the most im- portant of the exposition. At one time the director general thought he would conduct the department himself, butsubsequently de- cided to turn it over to a chief.

Gould was then heavily laden with stocks and a panic was the one thing in the world that he didn't want just then, so he orgranized the association which averted the panio. Atter this culamity was warded off he had no further use for the organization. The association has been a dead letter from its very inception. 1t will bave to be dis- solved or reorganized on u better basis and one more harmonious with other trafic asso- ciations.” WESTERN PEOPLE IN CHICAGO. o Among the western people in Chicago today were the following: At the Shermun—N. 1.

Ho roported the case to the board of health yesterday und Dr. Edson, chief of the bureau of contagious dis- eascs, at once took the matter wn bhand and started out a couple of his assistants on a tour of iuvestigation.
