New Orleans, March 15.?The citywore its usual Sunday look, and therewas no sign of unusual excitement.Crowds continued to visit the scene ofthe lynching, although few were ad-mitted inside the prison. The prisonofficials are incensed over the censure at

their failure to make a more formidabledefense. They say they did not give upthe keys, and when the crowd drove in,all the officers were at their posts. Hadthey fired at the crowd, it would havecaused the storming and perhaps de-struction of the prison, and the sacrificeof many innocent lives within and out-side the jail.

Father O'Leary, of the Jesuits, thismorning, performed the last sacredrites of the church over the body of theelder Marchesi, who was shot yesterday,and said mass for the repose of the soulsof the slain. It was an impressive spec-tacle. The Sicilian survivors gatheredtogether in one of the more comfortablerooms at the parish prison, and weregiven more liberties than usual. Theywere sincerely thankful for their escapefrom death.

All the victims were buried today.Marchesi, Monasterioand Trahina wereunclaimed up to noon, and the charitywagon took them to the potters field.Poflitz and Comitez were followed to thegrave by a single carriage, and in Bag-natto's case the hearse went alone. Theothers had a large and well attended fu-neral.

THE VIGILANTES still at work.

Tbe vigilance committee is known tobe stillat work, and it is said tomorrowwillbe Detective O'Malley's day ofreck-oning. The jurywillalso be attendedto, but possibly through the courts, asitis proposed to obtain evidence in thecase of those who were bribed. One ofthe jurors is said to have confessed al-ready, and the state had evidenceagainst several before the verdict wasannounced. The grand jury willindictone juror on Tuesday, and more willfollow. The foreman of the ill-favoredjury, J. M. Seligman, has gone to Cin-cinati. (

THE MAFIA'S WARNING.

Father Manoritta was visited by a re-porter, this morning, and exhibited aletter he had received. The stamp onthe envelope showed that it had passedthrough the city pbstoffice, March 9that 3p. m. Father Manoritta received iton the morning of the 10th. The letterbore tbe seal of the Mafia organization,a skull and cross bones, at the top andbottom. The letter advised thereverend father that he would betterstay at home and not go to courtevery day, as his presence there did notdo the society any good. He was told tobeware. The letter is signed: "TheMafia Society, M. M. C."

Manoritta said he had intended to givetbe letter to the district attorney,but re-frained from doing so through fear. Hefurther said the juiyin the Provenzanocase had been entirely too lenient withthem. While he deplored the courseof the citizens in acting as they did yes-terday, similar action in the other capewould have proved more effectual incompletely eradicating the Mafia soci-ety.

THE AUTHORITIES' EXCUSES.

Attorney-General Rogers said today,in speaking of yeaterday's tragedy, thatthe question presented to the author-ities, with jurisdiction in the city andparish, is: Were the laws of the stateviolated, and what crimes have resultedfrom such violation?

"The grand jury is in session," con-tinned the attorney-general, "and wehave in fulloperation all the means andmodes of enforcing the laws. I have nodoubt those charged with official dutywillact firmly, justly and fearlessly."

Superintendent of Police Gaster,when asked what steps he intended totake, said he could not arrest the com-munity.

Governor Nicholls said the Italianconsul called on him yesterday morningand asked interference and protectionfor the Italian subjects in the parishprison, who were threatened with mobviolence. The matter could not becalled officiallyto the governor's atten-tion, and a call for the military wouldhave to come through the mayor of thecity. No such demand had been made.When the consul called on the governor,the crowd had already started towardthe prison.

Mayor Shakespeare says his aid hadnot been invited. When he reachedhis office it was all over. He had notasked any aid of the governor.

\u25a0ITALY'S PROTEST.

The Italian.Government Demands ThatReparation Be Made.

Rome, March 15.?The Italian govern-ment has instructed Baron de Fava.ltal-ianminister at Washington, to present avehement protest to the United Statesagainst the action of the mob in NewOrleans yesterday, and the UnitedStates has promised to make an investi-gation.

Baron de Fava in a dispatch to Mar-quis DiRudini, the Itolian premier andforeign minister, states that he has pro-tested against the inaction of the localofficials in New Orleans, and that Mr.[Blame, the American secretary of state,expressed horror at the acts of the NewOrleans mob, promising that he wouldimmediately make the orders of thepresident in the matter, and that hisdecision would be immediately comniu-

.nicated to the Italitn government.The Riforma denounces the New Or-

leans lynching as an outrage, and saysit is a disgrace to'the United States thatsuch acts are possible within its borders.

Signor Breganza will interpellate thegovernment in parliament regarding theatfair.

New York, March 15.?Following arecopies of two telegrams which passedbetween this city and Italy, relating tothe lynching of the Italians in New Or-leans on Saturday:

New York, March 15.Rudini, Minister of Foreign A flairs, Rome:

The Italian press of New York areunanimous in representing the colonyto notify you of the massacre at NewOrleans of several Italians, alreadyacquitted by an American jury, anddemand intervention by home gov-ernment.

The answer was: "Your cablegramreceived. I have already demandedfrom the federal government energeticand prompt measures."

BLAINE'S MANDATE.

He Tells Governor Nlcholli to Bringthe Offender* to Justice

"Washington, March 15.?SecretaryBlame tonight sent the following tele-gram to Governor Nicholls, at New Or-leans :

Department of State, March 16.ills Excellency, Francis T. Nicholls, Governor

of Louisiana, New Orleaus:It has been represented to the presi-

dent by the minister of Italy, accreditedto this government, that among thevictims of the deplorable massacre,which took place in the city of New Or-leans, yesterday, were three or moresubjects of the king of Italy. Our treatywith that friendly government (whichunder the constitution is the supremelaw of tbe land) guarantees to Italian"subjects domiciled in the UnitedStates, the most constant pro-tection and security for their personsand property," making them amenable-on the same basis as our own citizensto the laws of the United States and theseveral states in their due and earlyadministration. The president deeplyregrets that citizens of New Orleansshould have so disparaged the purityand adequacy of their own judicial tri-bunals as to transfer to the passionatejudgment of the mob a question thatshould have been adjudged dispassion-atelyand bythesettled rules of law. Thegovernment of the United States mustgive the subjects of friendly powers thatsecurity which itdemands for our owncitizens when temporarily under foreignjurisdiction. It is the hope of the pres-ident that you will co-operate with himin maintaining the obligations of theUnited States towards Italian subjectswho may be within the perils of tbepresent excitement, that further blood-shed and violence may be prevented andthat all offenders against the law maybe promptly brought to justice.

James G. Blame., . MINISTER FAVA'S PROTEST.

This telegram was the result of a con-ference between tbe president and sec-retary this afternoon, Baron Fava, theItalian minister, having previouslycalled on Secretary Blame and earnestlyprotested against the killing of hiscountrymen, demanding at the sametime protection for all other Italians inNew Orleans.

Baron Fava, in his protest to SecretaryBlame, said the local authorities of NewOrleans not only failed to prevent ameeting which had been publicly an-nounced and was known to be hostile tothe Italians, but' also held an attitudepurely passive during the massacre. Hesaid he was obliged to reserve for hisgovernment the right to demand anyand all reparation it judged to be neces-sary.

AN UNPRECEDENTED CASE.

The third assistant secretary of state,Mr. Adee, speaking of the matter, to-night, said: "This case is without aprecedent in the diplomatic history ofthe country. Of course I cannot pre-dict the outcome, nor discuss it. It isnot easy to predict what will be thecourse of procedure.

NOT AN INTERNATIONAL ISSUE.

"I cannot see," said ex-Representa-tive Morrow, of California,- "how thisaffair can become an international issue.The vengeance of the mob was notdirected against the Italians as a race,but as a band of supposed murderers,who escaped their deserts by a miscarri-age of justice. Itseems to me that theonly action to be taken is for the rela-tives of the dead men to sue the city ofNew Orleans for damages, on the groundthat the city failed to furnish properprotection. It was not a race riot inany sense of the word."

INDIGNANTITALIANS. ?

Mass Meetings Held to Act on the NewOrleans Lynching.

Chicago, March 15.?A large rep-resentative meeting of Italians washeld here this evening, to consider yes-terday's doings at New Orleans. Dr.Volini, the presiding officer, deliveredan impassioned address, calling for rep-aration by the United States, and say-ing if justice be not rendered full andprompt, Italy will speak even with thevoice of her guns. Phis declaration wasreceived with tremendous cheering.

Editor Malata, of L'America, said theoutrage has no comparison in the his-tory of any civilized nation. He disa-vowed sympathy with the vendetta.Jbutasked why the New Orleans authoritiespermitted Parkerson to assemble thou-sands of citizens, and harangue them tothe point of murder.

Charles Barry said the fact that prom-inent men took part in the massacremakes itdoubly infamous.

Galmagia of L'ltalia said he had per-sonally seen all the victims of the mob,and believed them innocent of the crimecharged. People who have no respectfor their laws or the verdicts of tneirown juries, said he, are worse thansavages. Reparation is demanded, andItalyshould send a fleet over here tocommand respect and assert the rightsof her citizens.

Many other addresses were delivered,and a message of formalprotest sent toSecretary of State Blame. Aresolutionwas also adopted protesting againstthe killing as unworthy of a civilizedpeople, and appealing to thf» T>nlian andUnited States governments for immedi-ate and fullreparation.

Pittsburg, Pa., March 15.?The largecolony of Italians here became greatlyexcited over the news of the killing atNew Orleans, and several society meet-ings took place. Action was taken look-ing to the holding of a general meeting

this week, when resolutions will beadopted appealing to the government topunish the lynchers.

Kansas City, March 15.?There wasgreat excitement here today in Italianquarters. Consul Fedeli says the Italiansare a unit in demanding that the Amer-ican government be made to make suit-able reparation.

PRESS COMMENT.

Italian Editors Are Savage in TheirDennnciatlon of the Iynching.

New York, March 15.?El ProgressoHalo-Americano, the leading Italianpaper of this city, has a savage editorialon the New Orleans killing, saying amore horrible tragedy has never been-committed, even among the most bar-barous tribes. All the narrations con-firm the fact of the tacit acquiescenceand connivance of prominent citizens,with impunity, in the face of the law;therefore the more severe must be theaccount and explanation asked. Theeditor having telegraphed for opinionsfrom different Italian papers throughoutthe country, has received many replies,all deeply deploring the killing, anddemanding reparation.

London, March 15.?The News, com-menting on the lynching of Italians, inNew Orleans, says: "Italy'sindignationim ..i.- ?i i... .1... ...i...)..1: .....j 1.1 t?10 ouSiou Oy liic nnuicu>iit/.cu nunu. i,i

nearly all such cases in America, cor-ruption is at the root of the evil. Am-ericans are at once the most patient andmost impatient people in the world.When they have grown tired of anygrievance they move to their revengewith the swiftness of a hawk."

The Post says Saturday's occurrencesin New Orleans will form a deplorablepage in American history.

Since lost Thursday,when the body arrived from Washing-ton, ithad lain in state at Grace church,where it was viewed by hundreds oicitizens. The services were conductedby the Rev. W. C. Foute, of Gracechurch, and the building was crowdedto the doors with people. Among thepall-bearers were Governor Markham,Mayor Sanderson, Chief Justice Beattyand other prominent men of the state.

Although rain poured down steadilyall day, thousands of people who couldnot gain admittance to the church linedthe streets to view the funeral proces-sion. In the funeral procession werethe second brigade, N.G.C., the con-gressional committee, legislative com-mittee, General Gibbon's staff, theDemocratic state central committee ofCalifornia, state Democratic club,Iroquois club and many civic organiza-tions.

Grace church was elaborately decorat-ed with evergreens and flowers, andnumerous floral pieces were sent byfriends. The closing ceremonies at thecemetery were very simple. Six soldierslifted the casket and bore it betweentiles of the pall-bearers to a raised plat-form, which surrounded the vault.

Sacramento, March 15.?The day hasbeen a quiet one here, all the candidatesand most of the members of the legisla-ture having been in San Francisco.The evening trainß brought mostof them back, however. It ispretty generally assumed that John-son will be out of the fighttomorrow, and that Blanchard's follow-ing will leave him and vote for othercandidates, but with the understandingthat he can call them back to his ban-ner if he needs them. From all thatcan be gathered from the returning can-didates and their friends, nothing in theshape of an arrangement was effectedat the bay.

DEATH VALLEY.

Thrilling Experiences of the I'arty NowExploring It. *

San Francisco, March 15.?TheChronicle's Keeler, California, specialsays: The first authentic informationfrom the Death Valley expedition, forsome weeks, reached here today, datedMarch 4th. Disagreeable stormy andcold weather has prevailed during al-most the entire winter. Water iromthe adjacent snow-capped mountainshas turned part of the valley into a lake.On February 6th, the party crossed thedry bed of the Armagosa. On the after-noon of the 7th, Professor Bailey crossedat the same place through a runningstream. On the 22d there was a ragingstream twelve feet wide and three feetdeep at the same place.

Before leaving Resting Springs on the7th of February, Professor Stevensonand wife, of San Bernardino, joined theparty. On their arrival at Funeralmountains, the party having had nomail for four weeks, and Professors Fun-ston and Coville being at leisure for afew days, volunteered an ascent of thePanamint range to the postoffice at Pan-amint, to secure it. In this ven-ture they had an unexpected andhazardous experience, which nearlyresulted in their perishing. They rodeup the mountain, which is very steep, tothe Bnow line, where they left theirhorses and proceeded on foot. Themountain is over eight thousand feethigh. When near its summit, theywere overtaken by a blinding snowstorm. They were in the mountainsfor four days, fighting their way againstthe elements, inch by inch, on handsand knees, the snow being crust-ed and not hard enough to beartheir weight while standing. Theyarrived at Panamint, and after resting,they started back and arrived safely incamp.

The party willsoon separate into twodivisions. One in charge of ProfessorBailey will proceed to the Coloradodesert via the Vegas river to investigatethe flora and mammology of that sec-tion. The rest of the party willpushnorth to the Gold mountains, Pigeonsprings and Lida valley, from whichpoint they will,in all probability, drossthe White mountains in April.

Every one is reported well, and workis progressing as favorably as the incle-ment weather willpermit. Tbe stormsof this winter are pronounced by oldsettlers the heaviest ever experiencedin that section.

THE LIEN LAW.

A New Decision Made Regarding ItsOperations.

Mabybville, Cal., March 15.?JudgeGray has rendered a decision in theYuba county superior court, which willbe of considerable interest to working-men. AcHon was be?un last October byCharles McVVilliams and others against.E. B. White, receiver, for payment forwork done for the latter on a thresh-ing machine. The machine wasowned by James O'Brien, but had beenleased by White. Plaintiffs claimedthat according to the lien law theycould hold the machine for payment of

their wages, no matter whom it be-longed to. They brought suit and re-ceived judgment, and the sheriff wasordered to sell the property. Mr.O'Brienthe owner asked for indemnity bonds.The sheriff refused to sell the machineuntil such bond was given by the court.The court ordered that the officer appearand show couse why he should notmake sale. Judge Gray took the matterunder advisement and sent his decision,ordering the sheriff to proceed with thesale without an indemnity bond. Thejudge holds that the lien'law protects

laborers from being swindled out oftheir wages, and that it mattersnot to whom the property belongs. Itmust be held good for the"payment. Heholds that so long as the machine be-longs to Mr. O'Brien, he should haveseen that the men received their pay.

PARNELL'S ENVOYS.

K.Bedmond and Henry Harrison, thedelegates sent to this country by Par-nell for the purpose of raising funds forthe nationalist movement, arrived inNew York today from Queenstown.An address of welcome signed byMichael Breslin, as chairman, was pre-sented to the delegates. The addressspoke of them as "the representativesof Irish nationality as indorsed byCharles Stewart Parnell, the leader ofthe Irish nation," and bade thema hearty welcome to the shores ofAmerica. The address went on to saythat the committee heard with regretof the secession of those who preferredthe dictation of an English leader.

The delegates responded severally,hoping, they said, that their mission forgetting cash for Parnell and his menmight be successful. They were drivento the Hoffman house, where they oc-cupy handsome apartments.

Montreal, March 15.?This city andvicinity was visited during the lasttwenty-four hours by a terrific hurri-cane and blizzard, and great damagehas been done by the wind.

THE AMERICAN HOG.

Uncle Jerry Rusk Says His Rights MustBe Protected Abroad

Washington, March 15.?Secretary-Busk was asked today what he thoughtof the statement made by MinisterBoetticher in the German reichstag, tothe effect that the new sanitary meas-ures adopted by the United States wereinadequate, and that Germany wouldnot rescind her prohibition of Americanhog products. Secretary Rusk said hecould hardly believe that such a state-ment had been made, for it impliesa willfulor pretended ignorance of thelegislation now in force in this country.The last meat inspection law passed bycongress provides for a more thoroughinspection than that now in force in anyother country. Ifan ante mortem ex-amination and a microscopic examina-tion willnot satisfy the German govern-ment, it is simply because they don'tpropose to be satisfied with any system.

"This government has suffered theimputations placed upon its meat prod-ucts by foreign nations to exist undercover ofsuch pretexts for a long time,but the time has about arrived whenunjust discrimination and false state-ments as to the purity of meats mastcease. Such statements willno longerbe permitted to go unchallenged by thisgovernment, and such redress as thelaws of this country permit to be hadshould, in my judgment, bo
