New Orleans, Dec. nrirt of tis Italian lynching cases came up for rial before Judge Alexander Boarman In no United States circuit court to-day, 'he lynching took place March 1891.

The state frrand jury eould indict no one ad ill ere 1ms been no criminal prosecution or tbe lynching. Nearly two years ago suit was brought i the United States circuit court by the arallles of some of those kUled and many xceptions and legal points were entered lereufter, argued and decided. The case widow of BugneUo, residing in Italy, sulnsr the city for damages for lynching: hw KOII, known, as Em lie Bag net- to, came up to-day. The plaintiff claimed Hngrietto was a citizen of Italy, that tho ao.o.used was declared Innocent of murder, the chief of police of that city foiled to protect the prison although called upon to do so, and hft was bound to Afford such protection under the treaty between this country and Itnly. Tho city In hold a Bagnetto was a citizen of the United States and that the court wan without jurisdiction.

The facts ol' tho lynching were proved during ihe trial principally by newspaper reporters; Judge Kogcrs, attornev general during the trial, testified thftl Sheriff Vtllars callfd upon him during the morning and Bought jirotectlon against un anticipated attack. Governor NichuUs referred them to the mayor, and whlla they were searching for Mayor Shakespeare tho attack and lynching occurred. Quo of I witnesses claimed to be able to identify people In the attacking crowd. The plaintiff did not desire tbe names given, but city altornoy claimed the Identity of the parties should bo disclosed n9 thoy wore leading citizens, known to be able to stum! and should have bfVn instond of tho city, which could only be cltprt in cose tho acts were those ot a. lawless nutb.

The court differed with the city attorney, but gave him i to-morrow to file authorities. Tho taking of evidence was concluded and case will be argued tomorrow and given to thejury. GEORGE J. GOULD SUED BY A GIRL. New York, Dec.

Two Republican Senators Begi the Attack on the Administration, SENATOR MILLS IN A CARD Dissatisfied Democrats Are Quiet--Voorhee Leads-Cotton Claims Not Forgotten. Texas Patents-Postmasters, Washington, Dec. con firessmen have all read the president's mes ease, and disagree In regard to it just ai they have disagreed on the wisdom everything he has said or done since hi first president. There are congress men whom he can not plense, and by no means are all in tho republican party, but just at this time those who arc dissatisfied with him not disposed ti have their dissatisfaction shown in the papers. The democratic opposition to the president is here alluded to.

Tt If nnnnr cist this present session met Lha the democrats have begun to see the neees filly of getting together, und getting to gether is not assisted by onslaughts on the democratic administration. "When the srr- clal session was in existence democrat! were open in their adverse criticism the administration in the press of the country, mid in private L-onvemation many of the lawmakers were downright abusive of Mr. Cleveland and members of his.cab- inet; but now the congressional elections nro not quite a year away, and the polle of the average congressman In hurmonlKe und to talk In dulcet tonea instead of harsh ones about administration. While the anti-Cleveland element among the democrutH IB not saying anything for the press, it Is privately expressing: dlssatlHfactlon. It declares in one, breath that the message is stale and flat and in the next declares II vicious.

It comply ina because it not say enough and then because It says too much. The administration wing of the party aays the message la a conservative, bus 'mess and statesmanlike document, just juC-mm-iiis coming from the handtt or Mr. Cleveland. of the Texas congressmen do hot not yet digested the message su.Tlclently for public expression. SENATOR MILLS WRITES A CARD.

Washington, Dec. een considerable talk ami comment on the report that Senator Mills had participated the preparation of the Wilson tariff bill and tluit his uKRiHtance was of grout nerv- ce to the committee. Mr. MIllw informed your correspondent ta-day uftor iho bill was put before the public that he dlsac i the hill in that there were too many duties levied and further he eould icvor agree to the sugar bounty provlHion. Kin i wed hA had nothing to do with the preparation of the bill.

The newspapprw continued to state, that he hud litod the following'card to the Ished here: To the Editor of the Post: I liova seen somo papers n. statement that the credit 'or the tariff bill introduced by Mr. Wilson to me. No such Idea nitmf from anything said or done by iue. I had nothing whatever to 'Jo with the of the bill, had never hoen cnnsulted any member of the committee and had not udvlaetUany one of the committee in reference ID any article in any of its schedules.

All the credit for the prepara- lon of the bill belongs to the ways an-1 means committed alone. Yours truly, R. y. MILLS. TORREY BANKRUPT BILL.

Washington. Dec. branch of congress did anything to-day vorthy of note. Jn the house the debate he Torrey bankrupt bill has commenced, and the vote on that measure Is now almost In algh.t. The general opinion will be defeated, though those Highest of ail in Leavening U.

S. Gov't Report that It vho this are not prepared to lay great dds on It. The discouragement apparent the side of the friends of the bill argues nore for Us defeat than any particular Buoyancy on the part of Its opponents. When the bill was Introduced at the spo- lal session it was pretty but It har? roTvn weaker from the Hrft day of Its Time has had the effect of nitlng most wulldly all elements against it. One mnn is against it for one reason and Jiother for another reason.

The leaders gainst the measure have agreed thn ill can not bo amended BO as to it a erfect bill anil by this kind ne- ured a solid opirasltlon. Unless there hould hn a change It now looks 1C it would fall to pass. FREE COINAGE CAMPAIGN. Washington. Dec.

free liver bill emphasized to-day tlu-lr ecloratlon that they intended to keep up he flpht for free coinage. Mr. Bland In- reduced tho regulation bill to that effect, had It referred to his committee to- ay. There is nobody who that i a free coinage measure can possibly pnss the and senate, and even If it did It would bo met by a presidential veto. It IH evident that the frw coinnge men do not hope to any practical results mid tlii-y art- free to admit It.

Komw of them po into orpin nations and say their policy is to agitate the matter all tho time and never to permit Iho question to take a place In the bnckground; that In. tliia way silver will finally triumph. The Introduction of a coinage bill at this lime Apjienrs to be no more than one of the Btcpa ngrned on to keep the silver question In the foreground. VOORH15RS THR I.KADBR.

There in now in the treasury $11,000,000 set apart, to pay certain cot' ton claims. This was originally Intendei to pay the clulms of whose loyalty could be properly established. The proclamation of President Johnson und a decision of the supreme court It Is claimed makes it plain Mini proofs of one? demanded arc no longer required. The repub- llciin of committee have agreed thut.

WaSliIn'Klon, Urc. the senate thla mornlnfr Mr. Hour offered a resolution requesting the president, so fur an It in lite opinion not Intent with the public Interest, to communicate to the senate copies of all Instructions given uny representative of llie United Stales or uaval ortlcer since March 4, 1891, with reference to the preaervotion of public order in Hawaii, or the protection of the lives and property of American or recognition or sup- ort of any government there. After i obute the resolution was laid over. Mr.

of Oregon then proceeded to address the senate on the part of Ihe message relntbig. to Hawaii. He said he could not conceive it possible that the odTnlnistrtitloii had determined government and the restoration of corrupt and licentious queen. Mr. Dolph read a part of the reference of the president to Huwufi and itsked Whether a report of personal representative of the to more cre- donco than the official reports a Aiiits'ietti! rninistRr to Hawaii, American naval officers and others equally reputable.

It would have been more satisfactory if the president had given to the senate the Instructions of the present American minister to Hawaii, so the senate and house mlghl know what was proposed by Uie government. As to whether the president had coiiHtttutlonal ower to restore the queen forcibly Dolph said were that the question there would be wide difference of opinion between tho president and nimscif, and Btlll hn was warranted in assuming that something nore then moral suasion would be exercised to change the KiH'prnment of Hawaii Dolph favored annexation. At any rate United States con Id, if It did not care to annex the withdraw the support of the provisional government and allow to take Us own course.

London, Dec. connection with th' arrest of a man at Hampstead yesterday sheriff's officer searched a room at 27 Chan eery lane, belonging to a man of the nami of Schneider, who Is reported Juut urrivet from the United States. When Schnelde saw tho oftlcer coming 1 he decamped an( tho officer searched the room. Among 1 good! found was a tin can enclosed in two wood en boxes. They were taken to Bow stree etcitlou and immersed Jn water.

When ex mined by government experts to-day thej were found to contain ttvemy-foui pounds of dynamite in calces. The dynamite was placed In a cistern water in the courtyard of the police sta tion, where It whizzed and foamed over the side of the cistern. The police after ward despatched the soaked dynamite to the government pxploslve laboratory a Hounsljw in a cab, where IL was examinee by experts, who declaied the can was lilled with fuses and had everything complete for use and would have had a terribly destructive effect had it exploded. The police are ensrag-cd in an active search for the man, In whose lodgings, not far from the law courts, the explosive was discovered, and the impression Is gaining ground that the police have really discovered accidentally a plot to cause a dynamite outrage which may have hod for its object an explosion In the law courts. It is rumored that the police contemplate making a large number of arrests to-day or within ibe near future.

Inquiries made Hi nationalist circles here soon after the discovery of fche machine became known showed that Iriahmen here scoff at the Idea that Schneider had any connection with the extremist section of the Irish nationalists, saying his mime is sufllcient to class him as an annrrhist nml would probably be shown If the explosive found in Schneider's lodging was toa-lly an infernal machine it was probably sent to Ixmdon by anarchists of New York or Ohi- wlio are also charged with supplying the anarchists of France. Austria and Spain with funds and other means of causing explosions. Thy Evening Standard caused an Increase of excitement following the discovery of th? infernal mnrhlrie In Chancery lane by reporting that tho police had found a number ot bombs in a swell cafe in the west end of London. following explanation of the dynamite scare was given to-night. The Snyder (not Schneider; in whoso apartments the explosive was found, was managing director of the Snyder dynamite project HP company, with an office in Chancery He was In arrears Cor rent and tho landlord levied an execution upon him.

Among Uie articles selKod was a trunk of explosives, many photographs of gun experiments and thn prospectus of the company, nrtl.CH? from Hi-?

Judge Wing for the defenae stated that they would try to prove the evidence of Mrs. Andrew Foy ncompetent and asked that the state bo nslructed to omit all mention of her ex- itctod testimony In the opening 1 speech.

The court look the matter under advisement. It Is reported tbie afternoon that Rev. 'ather Scanlan of the Roman Catholic dihedral of the Hcly Name will be placed on the stand by the state to testify as to a statement made to him by O'SullIvan at et penitentiary a few weeks before O'Sulllvan'H death.

They KIWA bond and tbelr trial la nt for Friday Washington, Dec. of the state received no advices from Hawaii by Uio barkontlne Kllckitat which arrived at Port Townsend yesterday from Honolulu. Tlioy arc inclined to discredit and question tho apciirecy of tho purported Interview with Willis" in the Honolulu Evening Star. They say It would have been improper for Minister Wllllw to thus express himself a do not believe he made the statements attributed to him. The president and department of were evidently not expecting any news from Honolulu this und an soclated Press telegram from Port Townsend KivliiK the newa received by vessel from Honolulu caused surprise.

Minister Willis had apparently not thought it worth while to entrust dispatches to the Klick- Itat. There are indications showing that the news was not ugreeabln und the impression was conveyed thai the administration Is rather disappointed at tihe manner in which Minister Willis hoK thus far conducted his mission. It is evident the staitu department receiver! by the last steamer, the Alameda, news that Willis had determined to defer carrying out his Instructions until he hod heard further from the government. It is a fair presumption that tho revcnui? cutter Corwln carries to him further instructions president's messagn to Hawaii wan written after additional Instructions to Willis had been dispatched. This paragraph may be taken to reilect the spirit of the instructions 11 is Igh ly probable, therefore, that UIP now InsirncinrmH a titloh of the- olil.

An Associated Press representative re- ceivofl from a reliable source an intimation of Uio polity intended to be pursued In 'Hie crslont of active in- Iluence Intt-nded to employed In of roBOiting- on the throne lias probably been exaffscerated. The nur- peso of thn administration la believed tu be ratlier to act as an arbitrator between the iwo parlies and endc-avor to prevail on them to agree between themselves. This was contingent upon a confident beJiff based on n.n explicit tissortion contained in the last letter of Blount, that the provlH- lonal government would fall to pieces notified rhat annexfttion was Impracticable, leaving open the dispute between the ux- en and tfhe provLsiomil government In that letter, which lias been publli-iheil, Hlount. under dale of Honolulu.
