of Pc-noc Negotiations.
Puns , May 10. The report made to the
sonalo by Iho commiltoo of the > ewfound-
land arbitralion convention , after referring
io Iho right upon which Franco bases her
claims , concludes by urging the senate to
ndopl Iho bill. The committee looks forward
With confidence to tbe decision of the arbi
tral oi-s.
Tbo Chilian congress leaders here deny
tbat the failure of peace negotiations was
due to the demands of the congressional
party. Their advices state thai President
Bdnmceda , after offering to treat , changed
his mind upon hearing of the sinking of the
war ships Blanco and Encalada and made
Ibe publication given to Ibo proposals of Ihe
congressional parly an excuse for rupturing
the negotialions. The leaders of Ihe anli-
governmenl parly say say Ibat their losses
on tbo sea would not effect Ibeir final victory.
The congressional party , according
to tbo same authority , possesses nn
organised army which is about to march upon
San Diego even if the troops bo confined to
threatening inaction. Balmaceda must sur
render within throe months because of the
collnpsoot his resources. The f l.ilHX,000 ) re
serve which bo held prior to tbu Insurrection
is exhausted and he has no sources of reve
nue. Fifty steamers al Valparaiso laden
with coal , which wei-o detained by orJer of
Balmaceda , have now been released under
pressure from foruicn "owers and are about
to trade lit ports held by the congressional
purlv. The steamers will liud wilh nitrate ,
lHO duty on which will bo paid lo the insur
gents. Although Godoyo lias failed to raise
for Balmaeeda a loan In Europe , tbe agent of
tbo congressional party has been promised
nsslstani-o hero.
He-assuring advices have reached bankers
hero from St. Petersburg , regarding the in
tention of M. Vischnoirradsky. tbe Hussian
minister of finance , to withdraw tbo balances
htld here In London , fearing lhal a struggle
with tbe great financiers of London aud
Paris would Imperial his own position as well
as the 1 ! n an ccs of Hussln. He has decided to
permit the ; tOiKMKKt roubles in gold to re
main deposited in foreign banks. Paris
bouses hold half of this uuuiunt , Iho minister
says , although only to relieve tbo financial
tension.

MtnuiP , May 10 , General John W. Fos
ter , the American reciprocity envoy , having
failed In bis negotiations for a general treaty
bctwctiu Spain and'the United States , sue-
gested a secret treaty , whi'-h also failed to
meet the approval ol the Spanish ministry ,
nnd he was forced to conclude a simple con
vention on the basis O'Donnell proposed fern
n troaly. This convention necessarily com
prises n double tariff the first commencing
on July 1 and enduring till the Span
ish treaties with other powers are de
nounced in July , iv.y , when tbe second
end comes Inlo o | > eration. The convcnllon
provides for the free enlry inlo Ihe United
Stales of sura i1 , honey , cocoa , coffee and
skins for Ihe Spanish West Indies , tobacco
andiron ore paying the duty exacted by tbo
new fulled States tariff. In exchange ,
Spain's colonies in the West Indies are lo re
ceive American coal , Ice , wood , bools , shoes ,
fresh 'and salt meats and fish either free or
under small duty , while butter and drip
pings are entirely exempt , and tbo
duty on flour is reduced from $ 'l. . " > 0
to * I.M per barrel , with the same reduction
on corn. The larlff on dry goods and hus
bandry machinery will afford Iho Unlled
States a nominal advantage until 1S3J , be
cause ll.e privileges accorded will bo reaped
bv Great Britain , Franco , Germany nnd Bel
gium under the "favored nation'1 treaties ,
thus injuring America's fuluro iulercsts.
Competent authorities calculate that Cuba
will suffer a reduction in receipts of $500,000
monthly under tbo convention.

NBW YORK , May 10. John F. Wentworlh ,
who has been a lawyer in Washington for
tholasl three year * , was commitlod to Bellevue -
vue hospital by Justice Wild In the Harlem
court yesterday for examination as to his
sanity.
The alleged betrayal of a sister Is said to
be the cause of the young lawyer's Iroublo.
He is thirty years old and comes from a good
family iu Milwaukee. His sister , a hand
some girl of twenty , came to Xew York a
year ago. Air. Wentworlh did not learn why
she had left her home in Milwaukee until
about four months ago. Hecently ho got tbo
numo and description of the man
who was responsible for his sister's
misfortune. He came to New York
al once lo look for him nnd went to the resi
dence of Dr. Francis F. Bool , IU West Ono
Hundred nnd Fourlh street. This was on
Tuesday last. Dr. Hoot Is a distant relative
of the lawyer. When Wcntworth lold Ihe
"
doctor the "ob-ct ] of his visit the doctor did
not at first bclievo the young man was in
earnest , but be took the precaution to watch
him rather closely.
A day or two after his arrival Wcntworth.
I av ig found the man he soughl , learned
lhal ho was In the habit of leaving homo
about s o'clock every moniinir nnd generally
rode down town on tbo Ninlh avenue road ;
also that he took Ibo train at the Ninety-third
street station. Yesterday Dr. Hoot found
Wcntworth examining a ; ij-calibro revolver.
Ho loaded it carefully and the doctor asked
him what he was going to do with it.
"I have at lust found the bolraver of mv
sister , " Went worth replied. Tnen the doeI I
tut-left tbo room , and when returning an hour
later Wcntworth had escaped. When hcdls-
covered Wentworth's absence Dr. Keel hur
ried oul and overtook him at Ninety-fourth
street. Wcntworth was hurrying to ins sla-
tion and was witnin a block of it.
"Don't try to interfere with mo. I'm de
termined to meet thai man , " he said , threat
eningly , as ho turned and saw the doctor.
Dr. IJoot walKcd quietly beside Wenlwortb
for n few steps and then turned suddenly
aud throw his arms about him. Wcnt
worth struggled to free bimsell. and
failing In this tried to withdraw
lib hand from his overcoat pocket. In which
it had been buried since Dr. Keel had first
caught sighl of him. The doctor held him ,
bovvover , until Polk'emun Hot-au arrived.
Tbo officer found the loaded revolver iu
Wenlworth's right overcoat pocket and took
possession of 11. Wcntworth was InVen lo
Wesl One Hundredth street slaliou and from
there ho was sent lo Iho court , where Dr.
Hoot said he believed Iho lawyer's mind wait
affected.
"Well , what have vou to say to Ihisi" was
asked by tbo justice.
"I waive examination , " Wcntworth quietly
answered.
Ho was sent down stairs to await the
arrival ot an ambulance.
Dr. Hoot says Wentworth's mother and
father are residing in tbe city , bin ho refuses
lo revial the locality. Ho says , however ,
thai he believes he is connected wilh a down

W IIIXOTOY , D. C. , May 10. |
Congressman Kdmunds of Virginia , a dem
ocrat of the old school , is in Washington ,
and unwillingly gives away Iho plan of the
democratic managers to use the farmers' al
liance organization in the west to destroy the
republican organization in general. Ho says ,
and truly , too , that the alliance in Virginia
has resolved to not put an indopsndcnt ticket
in the field. In fact the alliance throughout
the south is to stand to the democratic can
didates. Mr. Edmunds says :
" 1 ho third party movement is not seri
ously considered in the south , but
in "tho west , where the farmers
have secured a majority in several
of the state legislatures , the demo
crats and republicans are apprehensive
lest a third party may baat thorn both
There Is , I believe , a slight difference between
tween the farmers and democrats on ono or
two questions , but the difference is not so
radical that it cannot be adjusted , and for
that reason , I should say the southern demo
crats and farmers will work together in the
fall elections. "
Mr. Edmund's further statements show
plainly tbat the democratic organization has
charge of the alliance in a political way. It
is asserted in the south , ho says , that the
democrats and alliance principles are tbo
sain ? , but In the west there is such a variance
that the farmers are told they must have an
alliance candidate to combat both the
democratic and republican candidates.
Mr. Edmunds himself acknowledges
that in the west tbo democratic
members of the alliance seldom , if ever , re
fuse to vote for the democratic candidate.
Hepublicans here believe they will soon be
able to prove conclusively that the political
wing of the alliance in the west Is main
tained by democratic brains and democratic
capital The politico ! and non-partisan el
ements in tbo alliance are regarded as dis
tinctive elements , and few of the alliance
members in tbo west are believed to favor
tbo adoption of the political wing's demands.
DKSrEKVTE lir.MOClUT * .
A heroic effort which has pcrplcxingly
small eflect is being made by the democratic
press at tbo direction of Senator Gorman and
Mr. Cleveland to create n breach between
President Harrison and Mr. Blame ,
primarily and tbo former and Gen
eral Alger latterly. For a whole week
the charges have been rung on the statement
tbat friends of the president have been try
ing to force Mr. Blaine to make an announce
ment as to his intentions respecting the use
of his name for the presidential nomination
next year and that the statement has been
made in every wragraph edited by the head
of the real democratic national committee ,
Gorman , that Mr. Blait.e is to bo forced to
take himself out of the line of possible nomi
nation. By a singular coincidence the dem
ocratic press of tne cast today italici/.es Ibis
announcement aud makes the further state
ment that Secretary Foster is about to begin
the oHicial decapitation of all the
revenue ofllcers iu the south who have
uttered or. who may in the future
utter any sentiment complimentary to Gen
eral Algor. The repuuiicaus 01 me couuiry
should know on reading these statements
about Mr. Blaine and General Alger that
they are without tha slightest foundation , are
hatched in democratic quarters here and in
New York oy the men who hope to become
the democratic nominee for the presidency ,
and that they are but a part of a well-defined
programme to create breachus in the repub
lican ranks. The edict has boon issued that
the republican party will elect its candidate
in spite of Ihe democratic hirelings and sel-
fi n politicians in the farmers' alliance ana
prohibition party if dissentions are not cre
ated among the republicans , aud those
who understand this will bo amused
to watch the different moves from
democratic headquarters during the next
three or four weeks , moves which will show
themselves only in republican circles. Sena
tor Gorman is to be Mr. Cleveland's candi
date if it appears that the latter cannot
safely make it and the Maryland boss is iu
the harness now.
Ex-Congressman Payson of Pontiac , 111. , is
in the city. Ho says ho has retired from
politics , so far as ho is personally concerned ,
but thai be will always take an active inter
est in bis party for the promotion of its
success and future. Mr. Paysou is building
himself a house on Massachusetts avenue.
He intends to practice law ana make this
city his P3rmanent homo. Ho is ouo of the
ablest and best known republicans in
Illinois and has served a dozen years in con-
gre-s. Ho is well-known in Nebraska aud
other prairie states for his services in behalf
of settlers on the public domain.

Move on Foot in the Various Dejmrt-
inontx at Washington.
WtsniX'iToN , May 10. The Sunday Herald
says : "A movement is on foot in the various
departments of the government located in
this citv to establish what might bo termed a
comparative pension scheme for the benefit
of those clerks who through advanced ago or
phjslcal disability incurred by their service
for Ihe government become unable to attend
to their duties. By n fund established
through a small , monthly deduction made
from the salary of each clerkh , lese sick or
aged would receive a pension during the time
of Ibeir disability or for life when regularly
retired by the action of an authorized board.
It is suggested that a percentage of
about 2 per rent a monlb bo deducted from
the salary of each government clerk and de
posited in the United States treasury , to DO
bold there in their Irust as p fund to pension
the regularly retired and to pay a stated
amount to those who are temporarily dis
abled. The number of clerks of an
advanced ago who are retained in
tbo departments simply because of
their faithful service for manv years is very
large. Thoj have outlived iheir actual use
fulness aud are allowed to remain for the
reason mat if dismissed they would be in
actual want. With the pension these could
be retired with the result that the number of
promotions all along the line weald bo very
large.

ICtssis CITT , Mo. , May 10. A special from
Gutbrle , O. T. , says : The skill with which
the Well -Fargo express car on the Santa Fo
train was robbed last night was only excelled -
celled by the skill with which the express
messenger guarded the property in his care
from the bandits. When the robbers boarded
the train at Wharton the messenger was
looking out of Ibo door of his car , and seeing
what was going on immediately apprehended
the danger. Ho closed and locked his door
and then commenced lo btdo the money ana
valuables in his keeping in places
of safety where they would escape
detection by the robbers. While the
bandits were detaching' tbo engine and
express car from the rest of the train and
were running It to the place where the rob
bery occurred , two miles distant , tbe mes
senger disposed of most of the valuables In
places of safety. Then ho locked the safe.
When the robbers appeared at the door of
the express car ho made a show of resistance ,
but finally admitted them. They immediately
made for the safe and demanded that it be
opened. With fclncd reluctance the mes-
scnccr opened it and at the command of the
leader handed out tbo consents , among which
vas a package of worthless papers which
he torn the robbers was a valuable
package of money. The most of the
money had been bidden in the stove ,
which was not being used for its legitimate
purpose. In the search which the robbers
made of the car they overlooked tbat hiding
plapj. but tumbled upon a package of $ . " > ( W ,
which they secured. Finding notnintr else
of value they made their escape.
A dispatch from TopeKa says the official
report of the roobery has been made to the
headquarters of the Santa Fo railway there.
The details made public uro very meagre ,
but coincide with the report from Gutbrle.
The amount secured by the robbers Is given
out by the Santa Fa oSlcials as $500.
A largo force of deputy United States mar
shals was organized at Guthrie last night a ?
soon as the news of the robbery had been re
ceived and a pursuit of the robbers was im-
mediatelv begun.
It is believed the robbers are bidding at
Turkey creek , I. T. , whither the posse is now
making its way. There sCems to be no doubt
that the bandits were tbo.notorious Dalton
boys. They are a desperate set of outlaws.

wa ? certainly a gala day at this plcturesquo
mountain resort , and if tbo president ex
pected to pass the day in quiet and rest ho
was very much mistaken. The village was
crowded with several lliousand excursionists
from Denver , Aspen , Lcadvillo , Colorado
Spring ? , Carbondale , Pueblo , Butte and Had-
cllffe , and as they were oul for a holiday as
well as lo see the distinguished visitors , they

Hartzell , Mr. S. M. Allen. Mr. T. S. McMur-
ray and other cituens , by whom Ihey were

There were no formalities exchanged beyond
an individual Iniroduction.
Soon after Iho visitors were welcomed in
formally by Mayor lingers of Glenwood
Springs and a committee , nnd escorted in
carriages to the Glenwood hotel where they
had breakfast. Tbe president and Post
master General Wannamaker and Mrs. McKee -
Kee afterwards attended divine service at
the First Presbyterian church and heard an
eloquent sermon by the pastor , Kcv. Hu-
dolph. They were accompanied by Governor
Houtl , Mayor Hodges , ex-Senator Hill and
Heprosentalivo H. Townsend of Colorado.
The president and Mr. Hill then took a short
walk together , after which the former joined
Mrs. Harrison and the olher Indies of his
party at the swimming pool and escorted
them back to the hotel , where they had din
ner in company with Governor and Mrs.
Houtl and Mr. and Mrs. Corning of Albanv.
N. Y.
During Iho afternoon the president re
ceived the delegations from Leadville.Aspen ,

elegant souvenir. It w.is a beautiful plush
case containing in letters of sterling wire

ver Colorado. Honest money , " the whole
being enclosed in a handsome glass case or
namented with sutin ribbon. H took seven
teen cars to convey the crowd from Aspen.
The Aspen mining and smelting company
carried at the head of their delegation a

standard dollar.
The souvenir presented lo Iho president by
the citizens of Glenwood Springs consisted
of a lariro solid gold plate , engraved with tbo
coat of arms ol the slate and inscribed with
a legend appropriate to the occasion. The
board of trade of Glenwood also presented a
handsome cmbo'sed silk portfolio , bound
with silver cord and containing Iwelvo artis
tic views of local scenery.
A children's mass meeting was held at
Durand's opera house at 3 o'clock in honor of
tbo visitors , and it was attended by an im
mense crowd. Hev. H. M. Law presided and
after the usual devotional exercises. Includ
ing sniping by the children , Mayor Hodges
introduced the president and the postmaster
general , each of whom M ade a short address.
The president's address was as follows :
"Mr. Mayor , Fellow-Citizens and Children
Our stop at Glenwood Springs was , as you
all know , intended to bo for rest , and yet I
have not felt thai I could deny myself lo inis
largo body of friends assembled from the
homes of this city , and perhaps to an oven
larger body of friend ? who have ccmo from
some of the neighboring towns to pay their
respects nnd testify their good wi'l. The
trip wo have been making has boon
a prolonged ono nnd it has been n con
tinued experience of speechmaking and hand
shaking. The physical labor has been very
greal. I Iblnk if one had been called upon to
do Ihe same amounl of work without the
stimulus and Inspiration which have come
from the happy faces and kind hearts of the
people who have greeted us lhat almost any
man would have given out ; certainly I would ,
but I have been borne up and helped by Iho
wonderful kindness of our people. I 'have
been Intensely interested in what I have
"
seen. It has "testified to mo of the unily of
people easl and west. Out hero you take on
some peculiarities , as we do in Indiana , but
under these peculiarities there is the same
true American prit an spirit. [ Applause. |
It is not wonderful that this should be. It
is not a meiM likeness between diflerent people
ple because you are precisely the same people
ple thai I have known in Iho central and
eastern stales. Everywhere I have b en
I have seen Hoosiers , everywhere
Mr. Wanamaker has gene he has
seen Pcnusylvanlans , everywhere General -
oral Husk has irene Wisconsin bands
have been reached up to him. Tucso new
states have been filled np by Die enterprising
aud pushing young men of the older states.
They have set out to lind hero greater advan
tages , more rapid pathways to wealth and
comi > etence. Many ol them have found it ,
many of them are still perhaps In the hard
struggle of life , but lo you all. lo every man
wheincr ho is mine owner or handles the pick ,
I bring you my warmest sympathy and my
moslsiiiceio thanks for your friendly greet
ing. [ Applauso.J Our government was in
stituted by wise men. men of broad views : it
was based upon the idea of the equal rights
of men ; it absolutely rejects tbe idea of class
distinction and insists thai men should bo
Judged by Iheir behavior. Thai is a good
rule. Those who are law abiding uud null
disposed , Ihoso who pursue Iheir advoca-
tations lawfully and with duo rcsncci
to the rights of oth"r , are lliotruo American
cilizens. [ Applause. ] I am glad lo know
lhat tno love of our institutions Is so deeplv
imbedded in your hearts. Il has been a most
delightful and cheering thing to see. ihat
tbe starry banner , the same old flag thai was
carried amid Iho smoke of balllo , Iho raltlo
of musketry , the boom of cannon and the
dying of men. is In Ibo hands of your cbil-
drcn7 ( Applause. I Some of Ihe prettiest as
well as some of the most hopeful Fights wo
have looked upon have been these companies
of children gathered in the streets or hill
sides waving this banner. The American
institutions deserve our watchful care. All
of your communities should bo careful in tbo
beginning to establish law and lo main-
lain U. It is verv dithfull when law
lessness once obtains tbo upperhand to
put it down. U Is very easy to keep il out of
any community If the well disposed , true

I think you will all find it so

GYI-M-M , Col. , May 10. A slight change
WHS made In the president's plans at Glen-
wood Springs , occasioned by tbo nttentions
shown him by the residents and visitors at
that plnco today , which precluded all pos
sibility of bis spending the day In quiet nnd
rest , as ne hail intended , therefore instead of

portion of the night on bis spneial ear on n
siding at Gypsum , nbnut twenty-four
miles cast of Glenwood. All the members
of the party are thoroughly tired out by what
they have already nassed through , and but
for the step taken this evening they would
be in no condition to continue the trip. The
president said bo regretted that ho was com
pelled to travel Sunday , but fell II to bo ab
solutely nerassary and eascnlial lo Ihe health
of his family.
Postmaster General Wanamaker remained

Letter IV mi I'ham-ellor Snow ol' the
State I'nivf rultj- .
K\N < HS CITV , Mo. , May 10. Chancellor
Snow of tbo state university of Kansas has
sent to Secretary Moblor of Ibo slate board
of agriculture a letter concerning his con
clusions regarding the present wheat pest in
Kansas. The letter was made public today.
The chancellor says : "The present spring
has been particularly unfavorable for the
health of chinch bugs , but still In twenty
counties in tbo soulhoaslcrn part of the
state , included between meridians 9. > degrees
and ! iy degrees , and between the Ihirly-
eighlh parallel and tbo southern boundary
of the state , the chinch bug is out in lull
force. In other counties of the state the pesl
is not so numerous , but still it exisls in fully
one-half of Ihe counlies. The bugs now in
Iho wheat fields are n remnant of last fall's
brood ivhich hibeniatod. The females have
been laying their CL'S and Iho young will
soon be batched. 'The eggs are very sus
ceptible to the iulluencu of climatic condi
tions and If we should bavo heavy rains
between noiv and May 2(1 ( Ihe crop of young
bugs will be much cnsmalled. "
CoullnuiiiK the report says : "Active
measures must be resorted to to keep the
pests down. Much hope is placed in the outcome
of Iho of the ' '
come workings 'new remedy ,
namely , the attempt to spread artificially a
contagious disease among the bugs. The ex
periments of the oarlv spring in the labra-
tory indicate tin * activity of tbo contagion , and
If the co-oforatlon of the fanners , by sending
in large numbers of live , healthy bugs , may
bo relied on , the slnllon will be prepared lo
scatter infected bugs all over tbe slato. Sev
eral icnorts showing l e Hessian fly have
been received , among olhcr-i from Sumner ,
La Bette , Butler , Geary , McPhcrson , Ma
rion and Douglas counties , showing a gen
eral distribution , but I think thai no serious
apprehension need bo felt for tbo safety of
the wheat crop because of the tly. The re
port from Hussell county concerning the.
presence of a small green buir in the wheat
fields and Ihe subsequent Investigation by
Secretary Mobler and myself has been fully
exploited in the newspapers. There is no
netv information about the buc or its alleged
damaie to the wheat to offer. 1 do not bo-
llevo it will prove consequential in crop in
. "

Chinc-h ituuH Doomed.
KAXaKsCirv , May 10. Dispatches from
all points all over Kansas state that cold
rains which Chancellor Sno-v , in his report
of yesterday on wheat pests in Kansas said
would rid the fields of the chinch bug , fell
today. The rain began falling about -J
o'clock Ibis morning and for six hours came
down in torrents and during tbo rest of thy
day it rained generally. The storm eatno
directly from the north and the thermometer
droiiDcd to 10 degrees. If Chancellor Snow's
prediction Is fulfilled lCanai wheat will
suffer no more this season from the deadly
chinch bugs.

Tlinu Conies.
Nrw YOKK , May 10. A dispatch frou
Pi-ovidcnco says : Tuone.vsof Dr. Graves' '
departure for Denver created much surprise
when it was read hero this mornlnc. Many
are the surmises as to what led him to main
tbo Journey and many conjectures as to tbt
result of his visit. Dr. CJraves has none t
Denver to tell what bo knows about tb
mysterious bottle. Ho thinks that ho hai
pone of his own volition and that ho is not
under surveillance. Ho is mistaken. It was
Hobsou's choice , aud ho went to Denver ap
parently n free man , but every step ho takes ,
every mlio ho rides , every walk and hour
will Hud n silent watcher near him. Had tic
not pone as ho did ho would in a few Uayi
have traveled under much different cir
cumstances.
A correspondent Is In receipt of Informa-
ion from the inner circle this morning tbat
: ho 1'lnkerton men have completely covered
: ho Boston end of the Bnrnaby case to n
nicety. They know by whom tbo bottle was
mailed to Denver. Thev have tixed this fact
* o securely thai Dr. Graves will bo aston-
.shed when bo hears what the detectives
Javc to say.
Will Dr. Graves returnto Provldenecl
Prom what is said now -and 11 comes from
s-onil authority the chances are that he will
not return in n hurry. The doctor has been
cunniiiRly lured on to tacitly ailmitttnf that
lie sent the bottle , and thai when he mailed it
It was tilled with pure and harmless whisky.
He has , so .t is asserted , taken this as a cue
and ifuuo to Denver to tell that story.Vben
ho tells this to the coroners jury * then the
Pinkerton story will bo told. Then look for
something to tumble. It is declared hero to
day that wh"ii Dr. Graves lands in Denver
ho will practically be under arrest.
This comes from one who has been in eloso
connection with the Conrads and the detect
ives all the time. Une of the most surprised
men will be Dr. Graves when he sees a Ren-
tlcinau .1 feel lo inches hiith , weighing 200
pounds , who will , when he takes the witness
stand , answer to the name of ( Jrmton S.
llanseom. Dr. Graves met the gentleman
several times this nnd last week at the Barn-
any mansion and was introduced to him as
Charles Conrad , a brother of John II. Conrad.
To the supposed Charles Conrad ho talked
quite freely , nnd is said to have
given many valuable pointers , such as de
tectives hunt for. Brother Conrad will reach
Denver at Iho same time Dr. Graves does ,
nlihoueh he left here twelve hours later than
the doctor , and he will register al Ibo hotel
as Inspector llanseom.

Fatal Stalihinu of an Italian in West
llnholtcn.
Ninv YOKK , May " ' A stabbing affray
which bears n strong resemblance to tbo
work of the Matla occurred Friday night In
the Italian quarter in West Hobokcn. The
only thing1 known about the case in the Ital
ian quarter Is the name of the man who was
stabbed and the probability that his wounds
are dangerous. There is a wound in his
breast and another in the neck , both made
with a sttlleto.
The victim is Louis Perito , a silk weaver ,
who boarded in Sprint ; street. Ho bad given
up his employment and made arrangements
to sail for Italy yesterday. Friday evening
he. was the center of a group of excited Ital
ians who were talking and gesticulating nt
West and Hacuc streets. Suddenly two of
the Italians sei/ed him , ouo on each side ,
and a third plunged a stilloto Into Ins breast
and neck. Some of the other Italians inter
fered and saved him from being murdered
outright.
Justice Suhnurscrof Union Hill , who was a
witness of the some , sent for a police
man , but before tno messenger could
find him 1'ento's assailants wore
released by their companions and
had disappeared , running in the direction of
Jersey Citv. Policeman Vermoll followed
them for a short distance , but s > oou gave up
the chase.
Perito refuses to disclose the i.nmes of his
assailants or make any complaint against
them. The West IJobokon police hold tbat
this relieve. ? them from all responsibility in
the matter , and will not make any effort to
capture the murderers.
A resident of the Italian quarter advances
the theory that Perito was possessed of soma
secret tbat they feared ho might divulge
wJien he reached Italy , aud thev decided to
kill him.
