Washington, March 15. The condition
of Mrs. Owen, the vrife of the Indiana ex

morning, and has retained some nourish
ment. Last -night ropes were stretched
across Fourteenth street on F and Penn

the rough street opposite the Ebbitt, where
Mrs, Owen is located. She sutlers greatly
from constitutional neuralgia and la grip pe,
and is in a very weakened condition from
a long fast. She became ill three weeks
ago to day. The chances areto-night that
she will recover, although the physicians
regard her condition as precarious. Mr.,
Owen and Mrs. Owen's youngest son are
at her bedside. It is probable that Mrs,
Owenr8jAon and some other relatives at Lo
gan, la., will be summoned to her bedside.

SYRACUSE SUFFERS AGAIN.
Church and Another Building Destroyed by
Fire esterday Woman liurned.
Syracuse. N. Y March 15. At 5 o'clock
this morning, before the firemen had left
the disasters of the previous day, tire broke
out in the St James Episcopal Church in
this city, and, having destroyed the struct
ure, spread to and destroyed the McClen
nan Hats next adjoining, owned by P. B.
McClennan. The Misses Curtin, two sis
ters living in the Hats, were taken down on
ladders after air other avenues of escape
had been cut off. It is believed one woman
was burned.
The Standard Watch Company occupied
the whole of the ground floor of the McClen
nan Building, and their loss is a heavv one,
amounting to between $25,000 and $40,000.
The McClennan Block was built about three
years ago. It was valued nt about 30,000,
and was insured far 818,000. The super
structure of the church cost about S'J.OOO,
and the building and furnishings were in
sured for 83.000. It is estimated that the
' loss by lire in Syracuse in the last twenty
four hours will aggregate over 1,000,000.
Other Fires.
Detroit, Mich., March 15. Fire at Fow
lerville, Mich., to-day, destroyed the post-
office, express ollice, opra-hnuso and a

The Alliance reappointed.
Wew York Evening Post, Dem.
The news is sent from Kansas that the
State Legislature has finished al legisla
tion for the session save appropriation
bills, and that "its work has been a die
tinct disappointment to the Farmers'
Alliance, who came to Topeka intending
to institute all sorts of reform, but re
turn to their constituents without
having accomplished any of the most
radical of them." Among the re
forms which failed to become laws,
because of theopposition of the Republican
majority in the Senate, were: The bill to
reduce railway fares to 2 cents a mile, the
.minimum fruight bill, the mortgage-bond
and security-tax bill, the waiver of-ap-praisement
bill and the bill reducing the
salaries of county and State officers. It
will be interesting to see what the effect of
this failure will be upon the politics of the
State whether it will add to the strength
of the Alliance movement, and still fur
ther "weaken the Republicans, or whether
it will hasten the inevitable disso
lution of the Alliance. All the meas
ures which were deteated deserved their
fate. Had they becomo laws they would
have done nothing but harm to the inter
ests they were intended to benefit, for the
worst suOerers from them would have been
ths farmers. The farmers may not be able
to take this view of them, and may insist
upon holding the Kepubhcans to account
foxjtheir opposition, but they cannot hope
for relief through legislation for two years,
since the Legislature meets only biennially.
The chances are that their movement will
have runs its course before that time has
passed.
Sir Charles Tapper's Ignorance.
Cos to a JournaL '
Sir Charles Tuj.per betrays an astonish
ing amount of misinformation, for a states
man, when he points to our treaty with
Brazil as conclusive evidence that Mr.
Blaine is ready to make treaties along the
lines of limited reciprocity. If Sir Charles
would study the reciprocity clauses of the
MoKinley bill, under which the Brazilian
treaty was drawn, he would discover that
the limitations of the arrangement are
clearly prescribed, and that they
are of a sort which cannot apply to Can
ada, for the reason that she has L.one of tho
products to sell which are specified therein.

Kansas City 8tar.
The constitutionality of the law creating
a new State Board of Agriculture in In
diana is under discussion. The present
board has decided to hold on and to resist
the establishment of a new board, and they
are sustained in this action by the Gov
ernor. This point ought to be promptly
settled in the interest of the growing wheat
crop, and certainly before the farmers be
gin to plow for corn. Nowadays harmony
in politics is a very essential element to the
success of agriculture.

General Chalmers, of Mississippi, with but
six hundred men, thereby saving General
Sherman from capture, as the latter after
wards acknowledged. For this he was fa
vorably mentioned for promotion in the
official reports of the engagement, but, as
there was no vacancy, he never received
his commission as brigadier-general. For
more than a year he served as provost mar
shal at Memphis. He was also a veteran
of the Mexican war. He served several
terms in the Legislature, and just prior to
the war was intimately associated with the

licau national convention, at Chicago, and
one of the most ardent workers in the In

from that date he died.

the better. All the organs of his body are
now performing their functions, which has
assured his physicians that his bow
els were not punctured by the
ball. The inlt.araation in the abdominal
cavity hns begun to disappear, and while
bis condition is yet such that his most in
timate friends and those for whom he is
employed are not permitted to see him, he
may recover. There has been no probing
for the ball, nor will there be
any, 'as it is believed -that
it took a downward course and
lodged in the flesh near the spine. His
physicians say that the blood near . the

entertained for his recovers. Goldsmith is

some time guarding his interest and col

Retaliation Demanded.
New Yokk, March 15. Le dTtalia, one
of the representative Italian newspapers in
this city, issued an extra edition at 11
o'clock last night. The story of the whole
sale killing was told briefly, and was fol-
fowed with the following editorial and ap
peal: "Without words we want satisfaction in
ull and complete. If the minister at Wash
ington has not at this hour made his word
good one million Italians residing in tha
United States will know what to do. If
the massacre that we have witnessed in
this free Repnblio is allowed to go un
punished we will denounce it as assassina
tion. Our word is quickly pledged. We
never repent. Vendetta."
The newspaper invites to a mass-meeting
whoever has a heart that beats in hisbosom.
The article continues:
"Colleagues, be quick to join hands, as
we are ready and always with you. In
this supreme hour of our vindication let ns
be united in the name of God.
"Death to the assassin! Death to those
tbat allowed such a butchery!"'
Following are copies of two cable mes
sages that passed between this city and
Italy, relating to the lynching:
Rudlnl, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Rome:
The Italian pres of New York, unanimous in
xepreseutintf the colony, notify you ot the mas
sacre, at New Orleans, of several Italians al
ready acquitted by un American jury, and de
mand intervention by the home government.
Italian Press.
The answer was as follows:
Rome, March 15.
Carlo Bsrsottl, Editor of the ProirresBo lull-Americano,
New York:
Your telegram received. I have already de
manded from the federal government energetio
and prompt measures. Rujdim.
The Cristofore Colombo to-day says, edi
torially, that the State of Louisiana must
answer for the murder of the eleven
Italians to the Italian colony, and that the
federation of the United States is responsi
ble for the same murders to Italy. The
question is an international one. The
newspaper expresses the hope tbat the
Italian Foreign Office will do its dutv.
The following mcst important portions of
the editorial on the New Orleans tragedy,
in the Pregesso Italo Americano, the "lead
ing Italian newspaper of this city, gives an
idea of the feeling of the Italian colony in
the matter: ;
"We believe that never in the history ol
nations has such a. horrible tragedy been
committed, not even among the most bar
barous people. In what world are we liv
ing! Where, oh where, is the much boasted
reverence of the Ainericap for the constitu
tional laws. of his country? Why is the
verdict of a jury in a capital process a
farce, a joke, a child's play, that thev
should make beasts of themselves and
beasts of others?
A11 narratives confirm the fact of the
tacit acquiescence or connivance of promi
nent citizens to carry out tho tragedy,
therefore the responsibility and the shame
npon Americans is .so much thfc
greater: therefore the most severe
roust be the account and explanation
asked and demanded in the name of jus
tire: justice and truth and human inviola
bility: in the name of hospitality and of
common rights, in the name of constitu
tional franchises, in the name of interna
tional treaties and protections."
Views of an Italian Vice-Consul.
Kansas City, Mo:, March 15. Jerome
Fedili, Italian vice-consul here, said to-day:
'Tho lynching in New Orleans will causa
tronble, I am afraid, between Italy and this
country. Do the people of America think
the indiscriminate killing of our people ad
judged innocent by an American jury right?
What would they think of the bombard
ment of a defenseless town by our navy,
which, you will admit, is in good condi
tion!" The city market here is run by Ital
ians and they are feverish with excitemeut.
In the Italian qnarter, where there is a pop
ulation of about 2.500 Italians, groups of
men were seen standing about' the streets
to-day, having the newspapers translated
and read to them.
The Sentiment at rittaburg.
Pittsburg, Pa., March 15. The large
colony of Italians here became greatly ex
cited at the news from New Orleans, and
several society meetings took place to-day.
It was decided to hold meetings in the
three Italian halls early in the week, when
action would be taken on 1 resolutions ap-
f eahng to the government to punish the
yn chore, should the State refuse to tako
the matter up.
The Mafia had few supporters here, and
but $100 was contributed to the trial de
fense fund. '
Not Friendly to th Sicilians.
Cincinnati, March 15. There has been
no meeting of Italians here on the events
of Saturday in New Orleans. The advent
of Sicilians in Cincinnati is of recent date.
Natives oi Peninsular Italy seem to have
comparatively .little intercourse with the
Sicilians and express very little concern
about the New Orleans affair. A promi
nent Italian business man remarked, to
night, "Well, if people want to escape be
ing mobbed they had better behave them
selves." Denounced at Milwaukee.
Milwaukee. Wis., March .15. There are
about five hundred Italians in this city,
and at several important gatherings to-day.
the New Orleans murders were vigorously
denounced. Telegrams were sent to Wash
ington and New York demanding that im
mediate action be taken to secure repara
tion. ; ,
"An Unjustifiable Outrage.
Boston. March 15. The Italians of Boa
ton will hold a meeting at 193 Hanover
street Monday night to protest against "the
unjustifiable outrage against the Italians
residing in America, perpetrated at New
Orleans on Saturday, March 14."
TILE FEELING ABROAD. .
Italians Thirsting for Reprisals World's
Fair May Be Boycotted. '
Special to tho Inlauspolls JournaL
London, March 15. A dispatch from
Home says that the news of the massacre
of the Italian prisoners at New Orleans did
not become generally known in tbat city
nntil this morning. It created a profound
sensation, and cablegrams have been pass
ing between the Cabinet and the Italian
minister at Washington. The general feel
ing is one of the utmost indignation and
thirst for reprisals in some form. An En-,
gliah visitor who was mistaken for an
American had narrow escape from being
mobbed. It is expected that the subject
will be brought up in the Chamber of Dep
uties. In the talk on the street and in pub
lic places strong protests were nttered
against, any representation of Italy at the
coming exhibition. '
Count Kasponi. of the Italian legation in
Paris, expressed himself to-day in very
strong terms on what he called the cruel
massacre of his conntrynien. He said Italy
could not afford to let such an outrage on
humanity go without redress, and that it
was a stain on the American people tbat
could never be effaced. He Added that in
his own personal opinion it ended all pros
pect of Italy taking a part in the Chicago
exhibition. The Count was very excited.
He also said that he had no donbt that if
the men had been auilty they would have
been convicted as the jury would never
have dared to acquit them.
Among Italian residents in London there
is much excitement on the subject, and
the slaughter is fiercely denounced. There
is some talk of a mass-meeting of Italians
in this city to protest against the course of
the authorities. ancLto request King .Hum
bert to demand satisfaction.
The Klforma, of Home, denounces the
New Orleans lynching as an outrage, aud
Says it is a disgrace to the United States
that such acts are possible within its bor
der. The London News, commenting on the
lynching of the Italians in New Orleans,
says: "Italy's indignation is shared by the
whole civilized world. In nearly all such
cases in America the disease corruption is at
the root of the evil. The Americans are
at once the most patient and the - most im
patient people in the world. When they,
have grown tired of any grievance they
move to their revenge with the swiftness
of a hawk. The people of New Orleans
could have soon discovered which of the
jurymen in the Italian trial had fingered
the murderers' gold, and it wonld have
been better to have kept the jail intact for
thorn." '
The Post says that Saturday's occurrence
in New Orleans will form a deplorable page
in Amenoan history. ,

WOUNDED MEN MASSACRED
Commander of the Loyal Troops and
Other Chilian Officers Shot by Eebelc.
Yesterday's Political Meetings in Ireland At

BARBAROUS WARFARE.
Commander of the Government Troops and
Other "Wounded Officers Massacred.
London,- March 15. The Times has a dis
patch from Santiago giving an official ver
sion of the recent battle in Chili. From
this it appears that Colonel Kobles, who
commanded the government troops on the
6th inst., being short of provisions, rashly
abandoned a strong position on Mount
ebastopol, and with 1,200 infantry, twenty
five .cavalry and a few guns, attacked a
force of 2,500 rebels. At a critical mo
ment the enemy, by a decoy truce for a
parley, opened Ore at close quarters, kill
ing or wounding two-thirds of the govern
ment troops. Colonel Kobles was shot in the
foot early in the battle. He secured an
other mount after the bullet had been ex
tacted from his wound, but he was again
wounded in the side, and was placed in
an ambulance. The rebels captured
the ambulance and their loader
threatened to shoot all who were
with the wpunded man unless
Colonel Kobles was indicated to him. An
attendant pointed out Colonel Kobles,.
whereupon the Colonel was tired at by the
rebels, being riddled with eleven balls, be
sides being hacked with bayonets. A gen
eral massacre of wounded officers ensued.
Of the wounded men 264 were allowed to
proceed to Valparaiso, but permission
was refused to send the body of
Colonel Kobles there. The loss
of the insurgents is estimated at
800 killed and 400 wounded. An account of
the battle cannot be procured at present.
President Balamceda admits the grarity
of the disaster, which places the province
of Tarapaca entirely in the hands of the in
surgents. The President says, however, that
the government has S0.000 troops at its dis
posal. The government also has an ample
supply of f nnds. The future scene of oper
ations will probably be nearer Valparaiso.
THE IRISH CAMPAIGN.
Yesterday's Meetings Attended by the Usual
Encounters Between the Factions.
, London, March 15. Parnell had an en
thusiastic 'reception in Gaiway this after
noon. To prevent him from being saultsd
by a band, which had made all prepara
tions to salute him with blare of trumpets
and beat of drum, the McCarthyites broke
into the band-room at Cloyne and stole the
instruments. In his speech Mr. Parnell
said that Ireland was in much the same
position as in 1880, when the unreasonable
element in the party opposed him because
he supported the government, railway
measures. He believed then in getting all
the money he could far Ireland and acted
on the belief. Parnell severely criticised
the ecclesiastical authorities for their
attempt to take the direction of Irish
affairs out of the hands of the people, and
he denounced what he called Mr. Glad
stone's elfort to dictate to Ireland.
At an anti-Parnellite meeting held at
Newry to-day there was a scene of great
disorder, the Parnellites turning out in
strong force and doinff their utmost to
break np the meeting. About 5,000 persons
were present at the meeting. The disorder
began when a series of resolutions denounc
ing Parnell in the strongest terms was put to
the meeting. The resolutions were re
ceived by the Parnell men with hoots, and
groans, and lively personal encounters be
tween opponents and supporters of Parnell
took place in every direction. The police
wero frequently compelled to interfere and
undertake the work: of separating com
batants, using their clubs freely the while.
Michael Davitt and Timothy Healey, who
were among the speakers, were constantly
interrupted by hoots and yells of e'erision
from the Parnellites in the crowd.
In the parish church at Mitchelstown to
day Father Sexton said that the next elec
tion would probably result, in the retire
ment of William O'Brien, and that every,
effort should be made to elect a McCarthy
ite member of Parliament for that district.
A ParuelMte meeting was held at Mid
dleston, Connty Cork, to-day. It was
sparsely attended. Messrs. Harrington and
Clancy were unable to obtain a hearing
when they attempted to speak, and the
police had to be called upon to suppress a
free fight.
Mr. Healy said at Newry, to-day that
whenever Mr. Parnell had two men and a
boy to listen to him they would read that
several thousand had assembled to hear
him. Mr. Healy advised an alliance with
any party, Tory and Liberal, to secure their
ends.
Kev. Father McOscar, administrator to
the primate, preaching at Armagh to-day
said that he had advised the primate to re
frain from taking issue with Mr. Parnell,
but that if the latter persisted in his pres
ent course the sacrament would be refused
to his adherents

ing, they said, that their mission of getting
cash for Parnell and his men might be suc
cessful Mr. Parnell's collectors were
driven to the Hoffman House, where they
ocenpy handsome apartments.
