Kirorts of AtiNtrln to IlrliiR About llettcr llcluttons llctwrcii Tlium. HOME , Jan. 20. His learned from Vatican sources that a few days ago Cardinal Seraflno Vannutelll hart a lotg and grave interview with the popa on tbo subject of a reconcilia tion batwoen the holy see and Italy. The in terview was prompted by the ompcror of Austria , who is personally interested in the matter. The recent speech of Count Kal- ioky was tbo starting point of diplomatic iCtion to secure this desired reconciliation. Austria , It Is understood , asks the pope to agree to the participation ot Catholics in the talian parliamentary elections and a modification of the present favorable attl- , udo of the holy see toward France. In return for this Austria wants Italy to ihango her Inimical attitude toward the atican to one of more friendly character and o put an end to the religious persecution of ho Catholics. Austria has a triple end in Mow : To save the triple alliance from discredit In tbo Catholic world. to prevent the Vatican from going over to the side of Franco nnd to arrest the radical movement in Italy , which might in time threaten the position of the monarchy. The Italian court nnd government have sig nified their approval of rapprochement on the incs laid down. King Humbert and the Italian ministers , however , insist that the Catholics should nrst upon tbo way to a satisfactory arraniro- mont by participation at the polls. Other wise nothing can bo done. The interview with the pope lasted an hour and a half. The pope promised to consider the arrangement proposed. Uouotless ho will wait with a vlow to discovering the rea son of these overtures of the Austrian court. It is already known that Austria , supported by .Germany , will endeavor to bring about the election of Cardinal Vannutelll as Leo XIII's successor to tbe pontifical throne' , while Mgr. Gallmberti would bo his secre tary of state. It is believed in Vatican cir cles that the pope , while accepting a promise and concessions , will not yield to the de mands of Austria and Italy , but will continue 10 maintain his attitude of reserve , awaiting more favorable time. The holy see is much pleased with the reports received from America nnd Arcnbishop Ireland' . ) attitude in regard to the educational question la tbo United States. Ready for Sen Ice.

His death , when announced on tbe stroo at U o'clock , was a ? roat surprise and his friends were borror-ft ickon. At firs they regarded tbo fact as a rumor , as Mr. Boyd bad been seen on the streets in th afternoon and appeared , as usual , lu the bei of health. Ono of bis very intimate friends wb had boon in business with him was at a card party , when a mogioiigor came It and solemnly remarked : "You are wanted at Mr. Boyd's house : he is dead. " This fell like a thunderbolt. A band ful of cards wore dropped as If tboy were lire. The faces of those who know Mr. Boyi turned pale.

Story of n Scrlct of AHful Crlmm Ilulntrcl by the Perpetrator. ViRNN'A , Jan. 20. The .sensational trial of Prank Schneider and his wife , Hosnllo Schneider , wns continued today and many new and startling facts In connection with he revolting crimes alleged to have bcon committed by the couple were brought out dm Ing tlio proceedings. The prisoners are charged with having murdered and lobbed ciebt servant girls , md the hldeousnoss of tbo whole affair is ntonslQod by the additional charge made igalnst bchucldcr of having first outraged ils victims before putting nn end to their ivos. During tbs course of the trial yesterday Schuuldor admitted that in two Instances ho was guilty of the charge of violat- ng the Kirls. and also admitted that ho hod killed ono of the unfor- unato servants. Ho endeavored to throw the guilt of tbo other murders on his wife , whom ho accused of decoying the girls to tholr fate on the prutcnso of giving them em ployment in her residence. These charges made by the husband against his wife were the cause of an ex citing scene by the guilty pair in the court room , both indulging In a violent exchange of causations. Ghastly exhibits were produced by tbo prosecution during tbo proceedings , in the shape of the skull and hair ot Kosnlle Klein- rath , one of tbe murdered girls , and the torn and bloody clothing worn by her at the time of her death. The produclloniof these evi dences ota terrible crime caused a shudder to run through the spectators and bad a visible effect upon Schneider. The . -sight of the ; ruesome objects scorned to unnerve him , md he finally broke down , and' tlio prosecu tion succeeded In g9UIng.hlrn to confess that 10 was guilty of murderingMiosnllo Klein- rath and the other unfortunates. Amid the most Intense excitement.the prisoner described in all Its horrible details his method of strangling the poor girls who were ui'cd to their death In hi * jlioJso. Ho said lie had not employed chloroform lu tiny in stance. His victims wore always conscious when he attacked them , and ha was assisted in his horrible work by his wife. His wife , bo declared , used to bold tlio bands of tbo strucgling girl-J while he giusped them bv tbo neck und choked their Ii7.cs out. At this point Mrs. Scbnpider interrupted her husband byoxcltoily . .shouting'l am y6urrioxt victim ; I novcr took -part 1n thP crimes ; " ' Medical evidence was , produced to show the great strength possessed by Schneider. This testimony was brought out for the par- pose of showing that Schneider was so .strong that bedid not red the aid of his wife to grip the throats ol his victims and uboke thoui to death. Schneider hero volunteered to tell how the murders were committed , and dramatically went through tbo blood-curdling perform ance. Ho showed how bo used to seize the struggling victims by the breast with his loft hand and with his powerful right bund clutch them by the throat and thus strangle tbo poor creatures. In concluding bis confession Schneider said that ho bad not killed the first woman he had outraged and robbed because bo had not at that time bad tbe practice in the method of strangling which bp afterwards acquired. The caso'baj created a great sen sation and the court room was packed with spectators. _ LATKST J'UUm JA I'AN. Tires and Kurtluiuiiko nnil Election News from tlio Occident. VAKCOUVEU , B.

New YOUK , Jan. 20.--Tho tow boot Vobstcr , and two scows belonging to the do- inrtmcnt of street cleaning1 , are ditftlng out o sen. The steamboat Is beyond the control f her skipper nnd crow , She has not been con since 0:20 : o'clock this morning , when ho was sighted by tbo HocKawny life saving talion. At that time 'she was signaling or assistance. This much was known late this afternoon , > ut ulnco then the lookouts on the Long 1s- and coast report that while the Webster vns struggling In the teeth of n" " flftv-milo gale her hawser broke and became tangled n nnd about her propeller. Thus she vas % nt the mercy of a torrlflo ea nnd , bobbing helplessly , she began drifting out to son. The greater error , however , was about the garbogo cows , which had been towed out into the ocean , us is the custom , to bo dumped of tholr rofnso. On these scows , it is said , there vcro atJeast sixty Italians , whoso help is equlrcd In dumping the scows. Thcso help- ess creatures were seen by the outlook1) to ) o moving about frantlcallv , orned no doubt with four in tholr terrible situation. Went In Srnrrlt of AKHlntunc < < . The tug boat H. S. Nichols , with two other cow * , which had bcon discharged of gar- mgo , anchored her low and then started to ho assistance ot the Wobstor. The captain ot the Nk'hols concluded , however , Unit vith bis own anchored scows in ex- rorao danger and the chances of reaching ho Webster against him ho would do bettor o coma up to tbo city nt once to report and ccuro help. So the Nichols turned bar losa cityward and stcamod homo in the ircast of the galo. She would bavo done letter had she rlung to her own scows on vlilch , as on the already drifting out seaward cows with the Webster , there were about ixty human souls , most all Italians. Scarcely was the Nichols out of sight vbon her tow of scows were beaten from heir anchorage by the tumult of furious oas , and with their human freight were ilown rapidly out to sea by the almost hur- rlcuno which was sweeping oft tbo land. The first news of the grave happenings off ho Long Island coast cn'no up from the Uckuway outlooks to Commissioner Bren- lan of the street cleaning department. A dispatch stated that two steamboats , each vith several scows in tow , bad boon sighted off Kockaway beach in the morning. Later , a second dispatch said that one of tbo steamboats with i's ' tow had disappeared off Mioro while the other bad anchored her scows under the beach and sailed for this city. Steamers Sent to tlio llescue. Late this aftornoou the statements con- alned In the dispatches were confirmcd by ho arrival at this cliv of the lepartment's steamboat. Nichols , which ic- lortcd that it and tbo Webster hud > ccn blown out to Rocuawav during this morning's calo nnd that the Webster and ils ows had afterwards drifted out to sna and disappeared. The sixty Italian laborers em- jioycd upon the scows of tbo department , .ho captain said , hud been left on the two scows which tbo Nichols bad left atanchorm Uravesend bay. These men were in open scows in a high sea and a gale of wind. It was probable that any moment thov might bo bloxvn or washed oft .ho scows and drowned. Tbo captain of the Nichols said that ho had been unable to res- 9110 the Italians because tbe waves and wi jd ; vere so hich that it was impossible for him to approach the scows without greatly en dangering his own boat and them. The cap- Lnin did not know that already his tow bad dragged its anchors and was then plunging and drifting out to sea. Commissioner Brennnn WAS at first dis posed to send the Nichols bacK for the Ital ians. ' He decided , however , to send the Nichols and another steamboat , tbo Dosoris , out to search for tbo Webster , as at that time she was apt to bo moro In need of as sistance than the Italians on the scows in Uravosond bay. This wns done. Tbo Nichols and Desoris are out searching for the Web ster. It is not known how many Italian laborers are on tbo scows towed by the Webster , but itistbougbt thatthcro must beat least as many as are on the scows in Uravesend bay , namely : sixty , besides the captain nnd crew of the Webster. These will , with the men on the Webster and tboso on the scows , aggregate 12S mon who , nt last reports , wore at the mercy of the gale and heavy seas. It is thought that these men are on the onon sea. About half an hour after the Nichols and Dosoris had started on their search for the Webster and tow the new steamboat Munici pal reported for orders. It win at once dis patched to Gravojend buy to , if possible , take the sixty Italians from the scows erron eously believed to bo anchored there. All-look the Oiitli.
