Fully five thousand persons attended the funeral to-day of William McNally, who lost his life Inst Sunday by brav- ing flame and smoke to save the life of ® fellow-man in a burning tenement at First avenue and Fifteenth street. The poy—he was only twenty-three— plun, into a hallway filled with fire id smoke, and then, with clothing @blaze and lungs choked, fought his Way up into the raging furnace, care- less of death and spurred -by the thought that he might save at least one life. He was rescued by an equally herolc comrade, only to die by the slow torture of his terrible burns a few days jater. 1t was but one of the daring deeds of | ‘New York fire-fighters tnat are all too soon forgotten.

Coroner's Jury Declares that Tomasso Petto and His Companions Were Accessories to the Killing of Madonia, WARRANT OUT FOR ANOTHER. Actual Slayer of the Barrel Vic- tim was Not Known te the Jury—Madonia’s Widow Iden- tified His Watch, The Coroner's jury returned a verdict this afternoon that Benedetto Madonia, the barrel victim of the Mafia, came to his death at the hands of some person unknown, but held the following as ac- cessories to the assassination: Tomasso Petto, “the Ox," Giuseppe Morelloy Pietro Inzare:lo, John Caccont, Antonio Genova, Giuseppe Senaro and Vito Laduca. Acting on the verdict, Coroner Scholer remanded six of the accessories nameé to the Tombs to await the action of the Grand Jury. The seventh man, John Cacconi, is at large and a warrant was issued for his arrest. All the prisoners will be held without bail. The witnesses who have been in cus- tody were ordered discharged after the formality of serving each one with a Grand Jury subpoena. The jurors left the court-room quiet- ly. and not one among the crowd of Itallans which besieged the place at- tempted to molest them or even speak to them. But there were plenty of dark | locks. The police anticipated a scene and had double guard around the prisoners. Carefully as the prisoners were watch- ed, the niver of two of them—Senar> and Laduco—broke through the lines and embraced their husbands. The bluecoats showed them little ceremony and hur- ried the women into the corridor, where with the throng, of thelr people, who had been interested in the proceedings, they were hustled into the street, Widow Identified Watch. The most important testimony tntro- duced at to-day's hearing was given by Detective-Sergeants McCafferty and Pe. trosino, who went to Buffalo to investi- gute the case. They testified that the widow and daughter of Madonia identi- fle@ the watch, a pawnticket for which ‘as found on Tomasso Petto, “The Ox," gvien he was arrested. When the murdered man’s stepson was ‘on the stand last week he failed to fully identify this timeplece. His manner was Buch as to cause the bellef that he wa in fear of the Mafia, The two detective- sergeants on the stand to-day declared | that the women in Buffalo did not hesi- tate to identity the watch, but McCat- ferty admitted that the keeper of the pawnshop falled to recognize Petto the man who pawned it. Petrgsino testi- fied that Petto told him he got the pawn ticket from a man whose first name was John, but whose surname he did not know. ‘rhe detectives also traced the collars found in the barrel to Buffalo, The one marked “Marl,” they find was Mado- nia’s, and had been laundered at Cup- per's laundry, No. 14 Virginia sire Buffalo. Petto’s Counsel Speaks. After the testimony was completed Coroner Scholer annouhced that, con- trary to precedent, hé would give coun- sei for Petto a few minutes to address the jury. ‘He did‘this because of the vast amount of cqntradictory evidence that has been adduced, and Mr. Le Bar- bier, the prisoner’y counsel, thanked the Coroner and ouflined the case as ne saw it. He defied the jury to find a single plece of supported evidence that wovlg in ary way connect his client with the death of Madonta, ‘Assistant District-attorney Garvan then said: “Your Cuty as members of the jury 1s very plain, You have sim- ply to find upon the prodability of the guilt of this defendant, knowing that the case will be fully Investigated by the Grand Jury before he is indicted, “We have shown a possible motive for the crime.

UNITED STATES — JOINS MOVE TO CHECK RUSSIA. State Department Looks Upon the Action of the -Czar’s Troops in Again Occupying Manchuria as a Menace to the Treaty to ‘Which Our Government Was a Party. | WE MAY JOIN JAPAN AND ENGLAND IN THEIR PROTEST. China, Too, Though It Is Not in Good Fight- Trim, Will Oppose the Designs on Manchuria, but the Mascovite Has a Joker Which Gives Him an Excuse for His Action. WASHINGTON, May 8.—The State Department has decided upon vigorous action in the matter of the Russian occupation of Manchuria, | Secretary Hay is in direct communication with President Roosevelt, whi now in California, and upon the latter's decision the Secretary's cour will depend. It is stated that the department has had its patience taxed by the course of events iz Manchuria and hat it now contemplates'a more rad- ical step than any which has h-retofore marked the negotiations, between the powers on this subject. ‘, The proposed step contemplates joint action by Japan, Englant and hampered by ¥he_ inability of the United States to act jointly with other nations without | Vlolating its traditions. It is now hin.2d that some plan of co-operation © with England and Japan may be devised which will have the effect of | convincing the Russian Government of the united cetermination of the ' three nations to insist upon Russia’s evacuation of Manchuria, while Ba 4 actually committing the United States to a formal alliance, | This programme iz subject to the approval of the President. If it is not looked upon with favor by him the State Department may fall back upon its former method of inditidual representation to Russia and ask an- j other explanation of the happenings in Manchuria. BUT RUSSIA HOLDS A JOKER. | In such event the Russian answer Is already forecasted by the offi- clals here. Under the Russian representation to the powers the troops were to have been withdrawn from New Chwang just one month ago to-day. It | understood as a matter of fact that some portion of the Russian force was withdrawn from the barracks In the city to tents outside. -It is pre- sumed from Peking advices that these troops have now returned to the city. However, it is pointed out that Russia employed a saving clause in | the promise to withdraw from Manchuria, the language being, “provided, | however, that the action of other powers shall not stand in the way.” | Rusefa, it is understood, now claims that this proviso was violated by OUR INTERESTS SUFFER. The latest advices are that the treaty is already practically lost owing to Russian opposition. This fact is construed to give the United States Government a direct interest in what is happening In Manchuria, Baron Sternberg, the German Minister, and Sir Michael Herbert, the |\aitich Ambassador, both called at the State Department to-day. It was Jelleved that their visits were in some degree connected with the ticklish Manchuria situation. testy setts The activity of the 'State Department is based on a despatch from Peking to-day which announced that the Russians have reoccupied New Chwang; | with a large force, and have also put garrisons in the forts at the mouth of the Liao River. They aro further reported to be making extensive warlike prepaartions. Work has been begun by the Cznr’s forces on new forts on the hills near Liao-Yung, commanding the road between there and the Yalu River, | and they have arranged to have a large quantity of provisions delivered at New Chwang. Tho news of Russian activity, which comes from a most trustworthy source at New Chwang, adds that on their return to New Chwang the Russian troops brought with them several big guns. A large force hes been ordered to reoccupy Tien-Chwang-Tai. The Russians have 14,000 troops between the mouth of the Liao River® and Port Arthur. !CHINA, TOO, MAY RESIST, LONDON, May 8.—The Chinese Ambassador here, in an interview, is ing he has not received official confirmation of the Russian ac- If true, he added, it means that Russia will eventual- ly occupy the whole province, and though China is not prepared for war, | she will probably resent any attempt to do this. YOKOHAMA, May 8.—Russian troops have entered Corea ostensibly to protect the Russian timber concessionaires, and a large body of Russian troops 1s reported to be approaching Wiju, Corea. The Japanese Goverte ment is protesting against these actions. | | If Russia has sent troops into Corea she !s probably taking advantage of disputes between the Japanese and Coreans over timber concessions to) station armed forces there. Recently Russian officials received grants | timber land in Corea, and it is aStensibly to protect these, while trou is pending, that the reported action is taken, the claim being that ae interests are menaced. It has been stated on- aitterent occasions that Russia had. Pant into Corea, but the ted
