What is Thought of it In washitagtan•-• ‘4 The King of Italy 1 Dissatistled "— erhe Minister's Passport Not Demanded called Oceans° Disliked.— The Citizenship Question. A Washington deepateh Bees In tut offloial note detect to day Baron Fava, the Italian Minister, declared to the Seeretary of &lite that the United Stetes Govern- ment, not having given aesuranoes Wet the murdeeere of the Italica-1 eubjnote acquitted by the jnry and murdered in prima while ander the immediate protection of the authorities of New Orleans w Add be brouglat to justices, the Italian Gomenment has found itselt under the very painful necessity of showing openly ice dissetisfao. tion by recalling the Minister of Hie Majesty from a country where the Italian representative is unable to obtain juetioe. The 138ron will soon, leave the United States, leaving the secretary of let, Won in charge only of the current affaii A. This action by the Itallan Governmee r. caused the deepest eurprise in otlictial oil c'es here when the fact became known. It tied been generally supposed that the Itallea Gov- ernment would at least await the e Mien of the New Orleans grand jary, which is charged with an investigation of the bloody episode at the jail. It appears, however, that the information nomad frorti its representatives must have led that Govern• ment to the oonolusion thet the grand jury investigation would FALL TO RESULT IN THE PUNISHMENT, or even indietment, of any person connected with the killing of the Itatiens. Governor Inioholes letter in reply to Secretary Blaine was also, it is thought, regarded as evasive of the real point at bisue—repara- tion for an alleged wrong—and the Goy. ernor's assurances that farther bloodshed would not follow, uneacompanied by any excuse for the failure of the State or muni• eipal authorities to take precautions to prevent the killing, was, it is said, regarded by the Italian Government with extreme dissatisfaction. It appeare to it that the United States Government had exhausted its resources. NO ASSURANCE POSSIBLE, The relations between the National Gov- ernment and the Governments of the States are so fixed by the American °emanation that when the Italian Minitter, obeying the commands of his Goverement, sought for same assurence that the persons con. oerned in killing ite subjects would be pun. ished, it was not poseable for the general Government to give any definite assurance of the kind. It could and did point to the feat that the grand jary was the American provision for calling before the bar of jus- tice persons who had violated the law, but this particular grand jury was called to• gether under the laws of the sovereign State tlf Louisiens, and whether or not it would punish according to the Italian idea of justice wee something that no national officiial, from, nthe President down, could guarante,a, The Italian Governtnent was not emeisfied with enee names. With ethen ettaitione between the State 'data 'Istationel Governments and the peculiarities of our constitutional sys- tem of government it had nothing to do, but it Was necessary,. according to its viewe, that Italian citizens in foreign eountries should be accorded THE rum MEASURE OF PROTECTION fixed by the laws of these countriee. Here was a ease where according to the state- ment of the Minister the Italian subjects had been arrested on a charge of orime and acquitted by an American jury according to the forms of American law. These men, declared innocent by a judicial tribunel, had been slain by an angry people. The Italian Govenernent could not go behind the verdict 'of the American court, and, not- withstanding it was stated in some quarters that the men were really guilty of foul assassination, and had been acquitted by means of bribery, in the eye of the Italian Government they were innocent Italiau eubjeets. In their violent killing the Italian people had been outraged and insulted. The National Government of the 'United States had failed to give any definite asruranoes that reparation would be made. There was but one reeourse, and that was taken to -day when the Italian Minister notified Secretary Blaine that he had been recalled because his Government was dissatisfied with the negotiations. Thie is the Italian view of the matter. Surprised Officials. There was a commotion among State Department officials when the fact became known that Beton Fava had been recalled. They did not know it officially—save the Seeretary—before the close of office hours, for the Secretary was confined to his home again by a recurrence of gout, and did not send word to his lieutenants in the department. But he did manage to get into hie carriage about 4 o'clock and drive to the White House, where he told the President what had ocourred, and dimmed the future prospects. He stayed with the President for an hour, and when he re- turned he was not accessible. The Rift in the Cloud. Baron Fava had not demanded his paste porta as had been first reported. A demand -for passports is an extreme measure. It is taken when war feeling runs high and the Minister's person in in danger at the hands of the populace. It is also in a degree suggeetive of menace. A recall under the oircumetation of this case is a serious matter—there could be no attempt to disguise that fact—but it does not sig- nify that mutual explanation and diplo- macy cannot restore the old status. The cheep d'affaires, Marquis Inmeriali, has been left in charge of the Italian Legation, so that the oeveranoe of eiplometio rela- tions cannot be regarded as complete. Jest what the status of this official is cannot be known except through his offisial acts. It is stated that he is in cheery of current affaire. If any serious signifieence rtsohee to the Minister's reeell that menne that the Charge is to be limited to his ft:mations of issuing passporte, instrueting conkf Hlar officials and other smell matters.

(Mettle' despetch says From de- epatchie which heave been received here from different eities it is evident that there is a misunderstanding as to the effect of the retirement Of Baron Fava. The inter- ruption of diplomatic relatione does not of neonsity mum war—quite the contrary. The general opinion among thee° ablate who aro willing to talk at all upon the eubjecit is that elate is not the elightest prObebility of war, but it is a noteworthy beet that there is not one person in allele/ life whose opinion is ot value who will permit himself to be quoted to•night. Ae for the Preeident and the Secretary Of State, they decline absolutely to be seen upon the subjset, and no etstement ot any sort lute COMe freei thelsa or been author. zed by them. The presentation of the letter of recall, instead of toretually making a peremptory demand for the passports in the first inetance, ia a eoreenhat more courteous proceedivg, but the diplomatic) effect is the same. Tho DimeMatiC SitintiOn. The eituetion between the United &etas and Italy as it stands to -night is the same as that between the Uutted State and Ana tria at the time that Austria de. alined to receive Minister Kiely under the Cleveland Administration. The only au. ferenee in a diplomatic sense is that Maly simply was not received. The refusal to receive Kiely was reeented by the Melted States, and another minister was not sent to Austria by our Government for fully one year. The result of that was that the Austrian Mtnieter to Waohington wee given what was calked a leave a absence and loft Washington- He never returned, and eubsrquently died in retirement. When diplomatic) relatione were renewed Antaria sent a new Minieter. The relationsbetween the United States and Auetria were in con- sequence for a long period etreined and there was a complete eeveranoe of diplomatic relations; but no one talked of war end the consuls remained at their poste. The oorameroial -relatione between the two countries were not interrupted, although the diplomatio relations were suspended. For a very considerable period Kiely remained titular Minister to Austria and drew the cutlery, but he was never received in Austria, and in (mune of time resigned. Then, without any demonstration, a sue. cessor was sent to Austria and was received in due course. It is the opinion tcenight of some members of the diplomatic corps that the incident of to -day may not prove to be as formidable as it appears, and it is even possible that Italy may reconsider her action. ITALY TOO HASTY. It is also an opinion quite generally entertained in the eery that Italy has acted very hastily. It is believed that there must be some local reasons in home polities in Italy whioh have seemed to the present Clabinet to necessitate a jingo demonstration of this sort. At all events, the talk of war is ride:tilled in the quarters likely to be the best informed, although of course the situation is a serious one, and bad diplomacy might (tense a dangerous breaoh in the relations between this country and Italy. The objection to Kiely VMS that his wife was a Jewess and would not be received at court. Baron Faye denies himself to all millers to -night. He would under no circum- stances (limn the situation. There are reasons for believing thet the new Italian Cabinet was dissatisfied with Fava long be- fore the New Orleans incident. It is suspected in Administration circles that the recent obanges in the Italian Cabi- net may have had ranch to do with the present state of affairs. A RATHER GHASTLY JOKE. • — Alarming. Sri.ead of Grip and Kindred airections in Pittsburg. A P, ittsburg despatch says: From a street joke the grip has become a very dan- gerous diem's. The death rate this month will break the record by the alarming increase of 50 per (tent. Closing at noon, Pe deaths have occurred in Pittsburg and Allegheny in the 21 days of this month. The causes given are grip, influenza, pnen- mein* typhoid and diphtheria. From the last.named disease one death per day bas occurred within the past three weeks at the Home of the Friendless alone. In the two cities there were 51 funerals laet Sunday, and there were not half enough hearses to go around. Respectable covered waggone are used, and carrieges are daily at a premium. The influenza is daily growing more severe, and now numbers nearly 5,000 victims in the city and suburbs. Physici .ns 'are overworked, and some have as high es 40 to 60 OBSS of grip alone. It i3 estimated over 1,000 people are suffering with the grip in the towns along the Fort Wayne road. At Bellevue and West Belle- vue over 2,000 oases are reported, some of which are vary serious. At Ellsworth and Haysville there are over 100 mem There are also many cans in Sewickeley, and it is estimated 500 people are confined to their homes. Reports from other towns show results somewhat similar. NINETEEN THEN PERISH. -- A. British Steamer Ashore at Chicomico, North Carolina. A Norfolk, W., despatch says : The eteamer which went ashore a mile below Chicomiao Wesel -dog station on the North Carolina coast yesterday morning is the British steamship Strathairly, bound from Santiago de Cuba fur Baltimore. Out of a crew of 26 there were le lost, including all the offioers except the second mate. The steamer will be a total loss. She was commanded by Capt. Wynn. She left Baltimore on February, 25th for Havana, where she rrived March 7th. She pro- ceeded from Havana on the 13th for Santiago de Cuba, where she arrived on the 161h. She was on her homeward trip from Santiago to Baltimore when she went on the North Carolina coast with such fatal results. A. THEATRE TRAGEDY. A Jealous Gambler Shoots Two Actresses and Then Suicides. A Spokane Fells, W., deepen:1h says Early this morning, at the Casino Variety Theatre, Charles Elliott, a faro dealer who was ocoupying a box neer the stage, fired several pistol shots at the performers. One bullet took effeat in the breast of Mabel Debabian, killing her instantly. Another bullet lodged in the back of Carrie Smith, also a variety mitten, inflioting a fatal wound. Elliott then plaited the muzzle of his revolver in his month and blew out his brains. His ehote were intended for an aotreets named Lulu Durand, and who was on the stage at the time, and of whom Elliott was insanely jealous. Chinese Don't Like Blair. A New York desoittch says : The Chinese residentof New York, in conjanotion with their Consul bete, are getting up a mam- moth petition to be sent to the Chinese Minister at Washington protesting against Senator Blair, their old enemy, as Minister to China. These indignant Chien° resi. dents will demand of the Chinese Govern- tnent to receive Senetor Blair in pre. dimly the same manner as he wished the United States to receive the Chinamen, and every ono of them that has any influence here will write to his Mende at home and the prese of China to see to ie that Mr. Blair receives his seat dues. --Nihe new Bands of Hope have been formed in Glasgow during the paet year. —The fund of $2,500,000 whioh Mr. Pee• body left for the poor of London now emanate to over 45,000,000. Q. P. It. IN NEW TORIC.1 VanHorne to get lnto That Oity Over the New Tor's Central. EFFECT OF THE NEW GONNE° acof, A Washington despatah says: An arrsamement which was ootneleted Yestert day between the Canadieti Pacific and New York Central Railways may have au inn portent bearing uponthe f ut ure ot Canadian railway intereste in thie ouuntry and alto upon the regulations wheel the Treasury Department may estalslieh, or the legisla- tion which Congress relay be induced here- after to enact, relative to the amenability of foreigu roads to the interstate commerce law. President VanHorne, of the Cana. alert Pacific road, at last has achieved the object which be has had in view for years --an entry into the heart a New York City over the New Yerk Cen- tral tracks. The agreement was signed last night between leresident VanEforne and President Depots. The agreement in enbsteause is thio : The Canadian Paoifie will come to New York city from Brook- ville over the new bridge which is to be built at that point, by way of the Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg to Utica. No Canadian Pacific trains will some over the Vanderbilt lines by way of Buffalo or Suspension Bridge at present, althougb thie may follow if the Cauedian Pactile completes its line either to Buffalo or to the Bridge. The details of the agreement are to be worked out by the traffio enters of the two companies and they are to go into effect immediately. WHAT MR. DEPEW SAYS, President Depevr seys : 44 This arrange. ment will give the Venderbilts the trate- continental line from Nova &atilt to Vau. oouver, and the foreign roads will bring a great amount of business to the metropolis. Along 250 mileo of the Canadian Pad. fio the trains are never out of eight of a saw mill. The Central will get- from the north produots whioh go another way at present. Prorate arrange• ments will enable the Central to reach any point in the British possessions at the lowest practicable rate, and New York merchants will get the benefit of corres• pondingly low rates. Freights will go through in both directions without break- ing bulk, and fast through trains will be a feature. The Canadian Paciifio will run its own trains into Weehawken where the West Shore has one and a had miles of water front. and will give it terminal facilities. Freight intended for New York city will oome in over the traoke of the New York Central. As for the passeneer service, the Ceriadien Paoifict may have He own trains if it likes, but probably a through oar service like thatin connection with the Lake Shore Railroad will be the arrangement which will be made for the present." PROBABLE RESULTS. One result of this arrangement will probably be to leave the relations between the New York Central and the Delaware & Hudson R. R., over which the Central now sends all its passengers for Montreal, some- what etraiced. When the new bridge at Brookville ie completed the Central will establish a through train service by that route, because the use of the Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg road will give it a longer haul, and consequently it Wye Biome of the profits. The Clanedian Pacifee by its arrangements with the Boston Maine, already has an ,entrance(into 13 ton ; by ;the aid of the W4ea44i terminus in Chiang° ; by mere of the ��l road it towhee Dnlath, Minneapolisand St. Pani; end now, by this alliances with the New York Central, it reaches New York. Inasmuch as it is a foreign road, it is not amenable to the interstate comtneree law, and whenever during the pest year or two there leave been rate diffioulties et the junction points named the OanadienPacefie has not often esoeped suspicion. This new alliance will attract attention to it more closely than ever, and the Canadian Pacific can be certain that the representatives of the trunk lines which are rivals to the Vanderbilt line will keep it under close surveillance. A BULGAILIA.N ASS i'l&ANATION. The Finance Minister Shot in Mistake for the Premier. A Sofia despatch setts: At 8 o'closk this evening, while Premier Stanibuloff and M. Bataoheff, Minieter of Finance, who had been walking together, were about to enter their official residences, which adjoin each other, it man suddenly confronted them with a revolver and fired three shote point blank at M. Batacheff, who fell dead. A crowd immediately oollected at the awn°, but the assassin enaped owing to the dart - nese and the confusion which prevailed. A number of persons who witneesed the mur- der report that the assassin had three accomplices, who assisted him to escape. The shooting of Minister Bateteheff has caused the greatest excitement here, and the police are scouring the city for all there oonneeted with tbe deed. No motive has been suggested for the murder of the Min- ister of Finance. It is presumed that the conspirators may have sought to take the life of Premier Stambuloff, but that in the darknees they mistook Batacheff for their intended victim. A SHOCKING AFFAIR. A Man Dies From Shock on Seeing Mills companion Torn to Pieces. A New Westminster despatch says: A shocking story has reached New West- minster from Fortuna. An Indian maned Pierre, employed as sawyer at Knight Bros'. mill, while working at hie post fell against the circular saw. In an instant he was oat up in a horrible manner; one leg was severed close to the trunk; the bates. tines were torn out, and the body was otherwise terribly mutilated. Death was instantaneous. Another Indian named Jim, a strong healthy fellow, saw the Bed - dent and ite results, and fell down deathly Bich at the sight, and remained almost unconscious until early the next morning, when he died. A Cowardly Crime, A Jackson, Mich., despatch says : John Tony and hie wife, who live eleven miles north-west of tine city, on their grand- mother's farm, have been on unfriendly tertoie with her for some time.

A British Commissioner and 470 of His gsoort Killed. TROOPS ADVANCING ON lltaNIPU1l0 A Calcutta cable saye ; A despatu from Manipur, Province of Asearn, briug new of it disaster to it force o nativ troops there. John W. Quinton, the Ohie Oomrainioner of Assam, has recently bee investigating some 'serious troubles whits have occurred among the native chiefs. A a rennin the Chief Commiesioner was hold ieg it conferenee with the notables of Anomie with the view of arresting one of the pro mittent chiefs who had been inetrumental deposing the Rajah. The Chief Oommiesioner, while pursuing hie inquiries into the disputes between the chiefs, mewled it camp whesh was gar. risoned by a strong force of Croorkhes, native infentry in the British serviee. Suddenly thin camp was 'attacked by a number of hostile tribes led by their chiefs. A two•dayee battle, during whiren sortie deeperate fighting took place, followed the onsieught of the tribeemen. The Goork- has fought most determinedly against heavy ocidoand aocording to the report 470 of the Goorkhas were killed. Seven of the British °faun, who a000rctpanied the Chief Connniseioner, and that official hban. self, are reported to be missing. The news of the massacre was brouglat to Kohima, on the ASSaM frontier, by two Goorkhas who arrived here yesterday. The manure originated in 11 fated between the Reath of Manipur and it Incline, tribal chief. The Rajah was deposed and he ap- pealed to the Viceroy. Mr. Quinton Was sent to settle the trouble, and steeled from headquarters at Shillong°, ea. aortae by the 42nd and 441h Goork- he light infantry. After °reining the frontier Qainton summoned the °Mete to a &mbar at Manipur, for the purpose of ar- resting the rebellious chief. The tribesmen pretended to obey the summons, muetered in fame, and ,uicinight on the day before that on which the durber was to be held suddenly attitoked the camp of Commis- sioner Quinton, which lay between Kohimet and Manipur. The attempt to surprise the camp failed end the tribesmen were driven back. They returned, however, and kept up the attack and siege night and day for 48 hones. Finally the ammunition of the Goorkbas gave out and Mr. Quinton was obliged to give the order sauve qui peut. During the fight scouts were, sent out to try to communicate with Shillonge, but they never returned. The Menipar natives oat the tele- graph wires and killed the rneseengers. Fugitives repurt that a general massacre followed the taking of the camp. There is reasou for believing that the estimate that 470 were killed is incorrect. One account of the affair reports that Commiesioner Quinton and his staff were made prisoners. Another amount says Ool. Shane, the cl °amender, Commiesioner Qainton with Iis son and daughter, Captain Boileau and ix officers were killed, tbe natives refusing s to givethem quarter. The rebellions tribe is famous for cunning, cruelty and bravery. Immediately on receiving the news of the disaster the Viceroy ett Simla sum- moned a council. Two native regiments stationed in Assam have already been de. spaatched to Manipur. The 3rd Bengal Infentrv will start for the scene to•morrow. The Viceroy of India has abandoned his tour, and has started for Simla. Five regiments and a mountain battery have been order to Menipter. A. Tfth CHER'S BRUTALITY. He Beats a Sick Boy Until His Ltfe is Des- paired of, A Norwalk, Conn., despatch says: Pro. tenor El: H. Dural:tart, of the East Norwalk eohool, severely whipped Richard Hendricks, one of his pupils, yesterday morning, and will have to answer for it in court. The boy has been absent, eiok, for it week, and when he appeared in school this morn. ing he gave the professor a note from hie mother explaining his absence. The pro- fessor said it was a forgery, and ordered the boy to go to hie private room. There the professor beat him severely about the body with it ruler. The boy was carried to bis home by his classmates. The lower part of hie body was beaten to it pulpy mess of jelly, from whioh unon the slightest torieh blood oozed. The boy was placed in bed and medical aid summoned. He is at present in it critical condition. The mother of the boy swore out it warrant for the arreet of teacher. She also complained to the Con- necticut Humane Society, and the society will take action in the matter. She also intends to bring it civil suit against Pro- fessor Dumbert for damages. The action of the professor is harshly criticized here, and it number of parents of children who attend the school have taken their children away. Professor Dumbart came to this city from Brooklyto, where, it is claimed, be lost a lucrative position in the schools on account of his treatment of the scholars. BY ORDER OF THE NAFTA. An Austrian Murder in which the As- sassin Mistakes His victim. A Vienna cable says : A despatch from Rutstein, it fortified town of the Tyrol, on the Inn and near tbe Bavarian frontier, says that a well-known merchant of Rut- stein, who was upon the point of entering a railroad oar at that place, was con- fronted by an Italian, who Plunged a stiletto in the merchant's breast, killing him almost instantly. The Italian, who was it workman employed in the neighbor- hood, was arrested. The polices found that the Italian was a member of the Mafia Society, and had killed the merchant in mistake for it compatriot whom he had been detailed to kill for some real or imaginary wrong done to the Mafia So- oiety, and for which the prisoner's cone. patriot had been condemned to death by the Mafia's secret tribunal. The murder has created considerable excitement, and there is a feeliog of dangerous indignation growing against the Italian eeoret society. Rescued After Terrible Suffering. A London cable says; The steamer Don has tended at Plymouth the crew of the German barque Humboldt-, who when rescued had suffered terribie hardships, and were in a dying oondition. The Humboldt sailed from Alteta, Mexico, on the Gulf of California, in September last, bound to Falmouth. On the voyage the crew were (stricken with scurvy, and beeame so weak they were almost ineensi. ble. Their teeth loosened, and their skins became swollen and livid. When spoken by the Don the Humboldt wee disabled and sinking, and all her boatel had been smashed. Two of her crew were already dead. The survivors were so exhausted that they had to be hoisted aboard the Don. They had been ill for three menthe. --."

"The Pope," he said, "hs followed every °hum° in the situation with sympathy. He has recognized that by legal meane we will eventually &nein our rights.

A London cable says : The Wesleyan agitation over Biblical iespiration is ex. tendirm to other (Marches. isseding theo- logians deeply disease Prof. Deviam's criticism of the teuet of verbal inspiration. Three Weeleyen professors, Banks of Headingly College, Sister of Didsbray, end Macdonald, of Handeworth College, concur, in the opinion that Pref. Davison's peper ought not to diemay the orthodox. They argue that it is neoessary to reconcile popular aua scientific views of the Soriptures. Dr. Clifford clenribes the paper as "well balanced, luminous, and breathing the intelleetual sincerity of Wesley.' The &etch professor Bruce counts the Wesleyan ministry's attitude es it token that God is guiding His Church be the path of wisdom through it critical period of history. On the other hand, Mr. Spurgeon and several Baptist ministers, while refraining frees deteiled attaoks on the new movement, conetently refer to "tbe fomenters of doubt," and pray that God will supply believing earnest men.

SWIFT KENTUORY JUMIOE. ix'y Armed Nen Take a Murderer From the Officers and Lynch Rim. A Middlesborough, Ky., despatch says Yesterday at Cumberland Gap, TWO., J. A. Berke, the telegraph operator tlaere was shot and killed by Tom Harley, a negro. The murder caused inteen excite- ment. Reports are conflicting es to what 'sensed the deed, but it seems that Burke and Harley fell out over some • trifling matter in a saloon. The latter then left, and, procuring it shotgun, lay in ambush for Burke. The latter was on his way home when the negro discharged the con- tents of both barrels at him, tearing out his eyes, cheeks and teeth. He died in. stantly. 'The murderer fled, bet was cap • ured here this morning. Officers started aok to the Gap with hirn by a einuitone outs to avoid a mob which had gathered o lynoh him.
