Oh! hut It was lively.
Ofcourothe btatement has reference to
tho baseball argument jesterday at Exposi
tion Park between the
Giants and the local
champions.
It was the last of the
sories between tho two
teams and it was a
question as to whether
ornotMutrio and his
men v ere going to got
away from here on
cen terms or with
three defeats tagging
to them and only one
win.
To be sure they went
away with tho trio of
defeats and the last
one, that of j csterday,
was "corker" enough to go on record ns
something unusual Thoe who saw, and 2,200
rtcople paid to see it, certainly had lots of
fun for their money. Old-time slugging,
hase-running and lively fielding weie all to
he seen, and at stages matters became so
cloe, a far as the scors was concerned, that
local patron? were on pins and needles and
no mistake. Although the home players had
the corc 6 to 0 in their favc- the visitors
started to thump the hall so hard that home
prospects became vers', TeiT ulue: aismai
In fact. But that's Just wha; caused the fun and
the excitement.
The Giants, although beaten by the comfortable
score of 14 to 7, arc very dangerous people, and at
anv stage arc liable to hop out and knock the tar
out ofe erytliing and everybody. It might have
been their lot to do to yesterdaj as far as Inning
the game a as concerned. As It was
They Thumped Harry Staley
clean out of the boc, and Harry cannot yet under
stand how It waj done. By doing so the i isltors
came within an ace or tlcing the score, and that's
when all the fun was.
It is only fair to saj that the Giants are some
what In difficulties. Thev haven't a regular
catcher able enough to pla.. and two such old
standbvs as Keeft an i 'Welch are still not In form
to pitch. Thl i a ven great handicap. Indeed:
but still Mutric admitted last evening that lie. had
run up against a very tough croud ot ball pla ere
in Pittsburg.
Malev as knocked out in the fifth Inning, and
King replaced him. In the fourth and fifth in
lilnf n Ine lilts w ere made off Stalev's delivery lnr
eluding three triples and throe doubles. And what
1 worthy of note onlv two runs were made in the
fourth Inning, althousli three three-baggers and a
double itere made In It. Altogether ten hits were
made off Staley and two off King. The two were
made In the ninth lnuing. The Tact that the visit
ors' everv run thev made" Ehows that they wt re
usil g the stick soracw hat. The fielding or the
home plavers was first class. Fields having the onlv
error, anil that was a drop oft foul fly that did not
at all effect tin game. The visitors' fielding was
shakv, but two errors credited to Richardson were
excu-ablc, as the Mil on both occasions took a bad
bound Just as he a as going to get hold of It.
The scoring commenced In the second Inning,
when IlanUu got Ills bac on balls. Fields fol
lowed w 1th a single to right, and Relllv's sacrifice
lilt sent the runners to second and third. Then
htaley cricket on. a single to middle, scoring them.
Miller next male a lilt to rlghl.-and Tiernan's
muffof Ikxtlty'o flv allowed Staley to score. Miller
to reach third and Beckley second.
Fete Kept It Up.
Browning wa the next to bang the ball out for a
big, and Becklej and Miller scored. Carroll
rapped out a single and a passed ball allowed
Ilrowning to tall; .
In the rourth Carroll started off with a lilt, and
Blerbauer fliw out to Bassett, llanlon made a
tingle and Carroll went to second. Fred tried to
pilfer third, but Mas nabbed cleverlv. llanlon
reached second ou the out, and scored on Fields'
single to middle. Arter two hands were out In the
blxth llanlon and Fields pot to first on balls, and
llanlon stole second and third. Then Rclllj scored
the two runs bi a merry two-bagger to left.
Stale ' lilt scored Itellly. A life lut, Baett's
fum ble and a passed WU scored the run iu the sev
enth, and in the eighth Brow nine's single, a steal,
a wild throw h O'llourke. Carroll's single and two
fumble by Blchard-on scored three more runs.
Some Terrific Slagging.
The v isitors scored their first In the third on a
three-bagger by Whistler and a long fl to light by
Ew Ing. Then cime the awful fourth. After Richard-cm
was out Tiernan sent -it a three-bagger to
middle and tried to make a home run of it but was
nabbed at the plate. Then Glasscock made a three
bagger and scored on Connor's double. Then
O'Rourke made a three-bagger, scoring Glasscock.
Bassett got his base on balls and Whistler flew out.
In the next Inning the Giants again pulverized
Staley. Ewlng's double. Gore's single,' Richard
eon's sacrifice. Tlcrnan's double, and singles by
Glasscock and Connor, scored three more runs,
making the score 6 to 7.
Staler was then removed and King went In to
pitch. "TheGlantswcrethen settled. They only
made two more hits, singles. That was In the
ninth. Kwinp singled to left and "Gore to center.
These, with Richardson's sacrifice, score tbc runs.

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
NEW YonK, May 14. The racing season in the
vicinity of New York will be Inaugurated at the
Gravesend race track to-morrow by the Brooklyn
Jockey Club, when the Brooklyn Handicap, with
the best horses In training engaged, the Expecta
tion stale for 2-year-olds and four other lively races
will be decided. 1
In the onlnlon of man the Ttrooklvn Handlcan.
should the trik be In good condition, will be one
or the greatest turf events of the decade. In no
previous year has there been so many owners chock
sure of winning, and this fact is given additional
emphasis bv the unusual number of 'starters for the
event. D. T. Pulsifcr thinks that Tenny will win.
and G. B. Morris, Trainer Rogers, Billy Lakeland
and others are equally confident that their repre
sentative will finish In the van. Pulsifcr gays that
Tennv'a hurried preparation is the only thing
against him, and admits that his trial on Wednes
day was better than the public believes, although
the time, 2:11, as printed in THE DISPATCH, is
correct. Tho bov misunderstood his orders or the
trial would have been faster.
The race will be a good one, but the best horse
doesn't always win an event of this kind, as there
Is always the usual number of accidents in such a
contest. There may be a long delay at the post, and
there Is no denying that this would hurt Tenny and
the other heavy-weights. The SurCt selection for
the Brooklyn is Senorita; Tenny may run second,
and Judge Morrow and Tea Trav knocking at the
door. Lakeland has not decided yet who Jie will
put on Tea Trav. since the Dwyers decided that he
conldn't have Hamilton.
The Expectation stakes may be won by Georgia,
with Arnica second. Kingston should win the
opening event, with La Tosca second; and the sec
ond race looks like a good tiling forLongstrect,
with Lclghton second. Shut your eyes and stick a
Jin through your programme if von must bet on
he fifth, which Is a selling race for 2-year-olds.
Tarner and GaUtfet may do In the last. Should the
a eatber be fine there will undoubtedly be between
20,000 and 25,000 persons present.

THIRD DAT OF THE MAY FESTIVAL.
'A Popular Matinee Programme and Good
Evening Selections.-
THE WAGNER BILL OF FAEE FOE TO-DAI
Of the two Festival concerts given yestei
day, the evening performance calls for first
consideration, as the more important. There
was another splendid audience present,
numbering very nearly 3,1)00 persons and
vieing in brilliant appearance and hi warmth.
of appreciation with its predecessors of
either evening. All arrangements worltod
smoothly, "tho temperature was comfortable,
and the evening's enjoyment was marred by
no untoward incident those close, narrow
chairs are not an incident, hut a constant
counter-irritant admirably designed to pre-
K vent the music from causing listeners to lose
their heads and forget themselves in its
mellifluous measures.
The noble and picturesque "Enryanthe"
overture introduced the programme in flrst
Tate fashion. Ifr. Seidl's marked sympathy
with the modern romantic school, with
which this work must bo classed as' one of
tho earlier specimens, guaranteed before
hand tho warmth and intelligence for which
its interpretation was distinguished. Bee
thoven's immortal Ominor symphony
which followed, is, in spite of its
intense emotionality, characterized by
a purity of form, an heroic type
of subject matter and a dignity of treatment
that contribute to mako it a genuine classlo
ofthe first rank.
Evidence of Improved Opportunities
Mr. Seidl's reading of this masterpiece, as
comparedwith his interpretation of the
Xinthl Symphony two years ago, gave evi
dence that he has improved tho opportuni
ties sinco then increasingly afforded to him
in the concert room to study and. to bring
himself more closely in touch with the classi
cal traditions. The result is a most happy
combination of modern Are with the repose
ful self-mastery of the older period. The
Symphony was consequently interpreted
with rare fidelity and effectiveness. There
were some few technical blemishes of a
minor order places where the relativelyfow

a scramble, rather than tho "gambol" of
which Berlioz speaks, on the part of the
elephantine contrn-basses in those terrific
icAerzo passages. But these were mere sun
spots; the playing was mostly as clear as the
conception, which is sayingmuch. One par
ticularly delightful nuance was in the
lovely andante, where the brasses at the end
of their delivery of the sublect were
caused to subside so gently into tne pathetic
string passages that follow. The whole
rendition of the Symphony was on a plane
far above that attained by Mr. Damrosch
with tho same orchestra, somewhat
augmented, at the New York Fes
tival last week, Tho rich and
picturesque entr'acte frpm Wagner's "Goet
terdaemmerung," known as ElegfriecCt
"Rhine Journey," was the other orchestral
number; here conductor and players were in
their native element, so that the varied
beauties of the fragment were brought out
with a vividness that could scarcely De sur
passed. How the Chorus Redeemed Itself.
The chorus quite redeemed itself last
night. First, in the fluent and grateful
chorus from Gado's, lyric cantata,i'Ihe Mes
sage 6f Spring," there was a body of tone, a
spirit and finish in the sfnging that quite
equalled the reasonably goodw ork of Tues
day evening and very far surpassed
all that was done last night. Though tho
mon.'s voices were always overbalanced and
at times ragged or not in perfect tune, the
women atoned in large measure, add the re
sult was a substantially cnioyame penorm
ance under Mr. .Better's baton of Gade's
nowlng measures, in "The :piver," Max
Vogrich's cantata, the chorus achieved much
the best results thus far heard from it. The
singers seem to be getting accustomed to
tho leading of Mr. Scidl, who conducted, and
to their situation in a big hall with the re
sonndnig brass and tympn.nl at their
feet. There were many effective
points; the shading was especially good (but
why that loud swell on the words "diead
silence," marked piano?) and there were
moments of power and spirit that made up
for many lesser defects. More could not bo
expected from this particular chorus, cir
cumstanced as it is, but it must, neverthe
less, be frankly declared that it would re
quire considerably better chorus to be upon
a level with the other departments of the
Festival forces.
Interesting and Effective 'Work.
Mr. Vogrich's work is interesting in tno
exticme and in most places undeniably
effective. A certain fragmentary, disjointed
character attaches to the cantata as a whole,
due clearly to the difficult form of
Schiller's famous poem, which was not
meant to servo as a musical text. Aside
from the lack of lyric numbers and sus
tained musical flights thus caused, the work
can be heartily praised. It is exceedingly
dramatic in many places, the voices and,
more notably, the orchestra being handled
with telling power and a keen sense of ef
fect. Space fails for particularization,
but tho descriptive and dramatic forceiof
tho tenor solo in which the daring youth
tells of what he saw under the water should
be mentioned. It was excellently sung by
Mr. Harry B. Brockctt, as also were the nar
rative portions by Mrs. Walter C. Wyman
and, in a lesser degree, the Sing's words by
Clemente Bologna.
Mrs." Wyman's remarkably rich mezzo-soprano
and true poetic feeling were still bet
ter shown in Delibe's arioso, "Thou Great,
Mighty Sea." Mr. Bologna, also, made bet
ter use of his opportunity in a song, "La Vis
ione," by Logheder, w hich his smooth, agree
able baritone and passionate deli very made
?uite impressive. Mr. A. L. Gullies sang two
avonte, though hackneyed, selections from
the tenor repertoire: tho cavatlna from
"Faust" and the "Huguenots" romanze. Tho
former was carelessly slurred over, appar
ently in order to save up for the high
C, ' which he delivered with a
full chest tone that brought down the honse.
The latter niece was a much moro finished
-performance. Mr. Guille has a remarkablo
voice, 01 ine rurt leiiur i.iuiure unu 01 large
compass. Ho evidently has musical intelli
gence and good sohooling, so that he can
sing, when he tries, in an eminently artistic
manner. ,
"Popular Music in the Afternoon,
Few words must suffice for the afternoon
concert, which was attended by an audienco
of over 2.000 persons. Nor are manv com.
'ments really necessary. The programme
was distinctly popular in character, most of
the numbers heing well-known, and the per
formers have nearly all received attention
already.
Therchestra was heard alone in Berlioz's
pompous, but dignified, march from
!'Les Troyensj" tho very dainty and
captivating menuetto from Bizet's sec
ond "L'Arlesienne" suite: tho poetically
beautiful "Apparition" from Massenet's
"Faliy Scenes" (in which Mr. Bolter's horn
playing was a luminous point), and in four
movements of the gorgeously scored and
rythmically piquant ballet music of Mas
senet's "Le Cfd." All these were easy work
for that sterling body of instrumentalists,
and Mr. Seidl's careful, zealous guidance
secured fine results In. each case.
Grieg's strong, sombre work, "At the
Cloister Gate, for women soloists and
chorus, was made still more depressing by
the slow tempo maintained hy Mr. Better
from beginning to end. The chorus sang Jts
few bars fairly well, though tho lower voices
Were inaudible and the devotional spirit was
missing. Miss De Vere and Mrs. Lindo did
all they could under the circumstances.
Mr. Joseph H. Gittings played two move
ments of Mendelssohn's G minor pianoforte
concerto inltechnlcally faultless manner,
but without the spirit and feeling he might
have shown had he known thegracefulwork
hy heart instead of being tied to the copy in
front of him. Mrs. Linde had her
best chanco- in tho "Lo Cid" aria,
"Pleurez, mesyeux;" her noble contralto has
lost none of its rich timbre and great cpm
pass and she has mado a great advance in
method and in emotional intensity. Pitts
burg's erstwhile favorite local contralto Is
evidently well along to the path
to fame. Miss DeVere sang Meyerbeer's
"Shadow Song" with hor accustomed bril-
liance. .Mr. Beichmann gave a delightful
rendition of tho Trumpeter's farewellsong,
and Mr. Guille sang "La mla Letizia" bril
liantly. The trio from "Tell" was spiritedly
flven by the two gentlemen nainoal, with
Cr. Bologna, though the brilliant nllegro
was cut off at tho close. . C. W. b.
THIS EVENING'S MUSIC. , -
Extracts From tho Works of Wagner

Style of Opera How to Properly Enjoy
His Masterpieces.
This evening's programme Is wholly made
up of extracts from the works bf that Titan J

ner (1813-1S8S:) Note that word "extracts."

without the eonnectioh, the stage scene and

in Which the plot and situations wdre chiefly

To transplant such music to tho concert
room'is much liko taking a bouse out df tho
middle of a city row, built with,party walls,
and setting it down in the midst of a field
it will certainly not look as it was designed
to look, if, indeed, it is able to stand alone
at all. .
Xack of Introductory Measures.
Tho "listenei need not be surprised, there
fore, to find some of the Wagnernumberslack
ing anything like the introductory measures
that most separate pieces possess, and lack
ing, also, perhaps, any climax or conven
tional ending, or any brilliant passages to
show off the singer.
The imagination may have to prop the
musical structure up at both ends ns well as
supply the scenic surroundings and the
dramatic life and motion belonging to it.
Injustice to Wagner's real intentions, it is
absolutely necessary to remember that ho
did not write this music as music, any more
than he meant his elaborate stage directions
to be carried out in dumb-show, as a panto
mime. Upon the highest artistic grounds,
most of tho music from Wagner's later
music-dramas is as much out of place in the
concert hall as tho conventional Italian
opera, with its set forms, fancy singing, en
sembles and other absurdities, is out of
place on the dramatic stage. Wagner him
self realized this, of course, and whs most
reluctant to let pieces bo chopped out of his
works and used in concert. He yielded only
in few instances and then only because of
the absolute necessity for such perform
ances in order to awaken popular interest in,
and to raise funds for his gigantic project of
the National Theater at Bayreth. The only
argument to Justify the continued use In the
concert room of much of Wagner's musio'Is
a similar one of expediency; the music
dramas can be heard and seen in complete
.form very rarely, if at all; great masses of
people can nave no otner cnance 01 uecom
ing even slightly acquainted, with the art
work of the great composer, dramatist and
essayist, whose works.dramatic andditerary,
have set the art world in such com
motion. Tho people themselves de
mand it, as proven by recent Festivals
and opera season In this city, in which in
variably the Wagner performances have
been by far the most largely attended. It is
important, however.for the peonle to realize'
just what relation these concert fragments
Dear to tho entire conception of their creator.
The Proper "Way to Enjoy Music
While much information is, for these
reasons, desirable as to the dramatic rela
tion and accessories, in order to the intel
lectual appreciation of Wagner's music, it
must, however, bo always borne in mind
and this point cannot be too strongly urged
that the way to enjoy this .music, as any
other, is simply to open the senses and the
heart and drink it in. The sensuous beauty
of Wagner's marvelous orchestral tone
coloring, tho threads of delicious melody
that gleam all through the rich maze of
tones, tho virile, passionate force that thrills
in the climaxes all these, and other ele
ments of purely musical beauty, lie right on
tho surface- ready to be enjoyed to the full
by the average listener, whether he knows or
cares a whit about the" composer or the
drama or what not. Bead your programme
hooks and study up as much as you please
beforehand. That adds greatly to the in
tellectnalside..of one's appreciation. But
when thojnuaic.begins, stop thinking about
it and just listen. Don't look at the pro
gramme book then (unless it be at the words
being sung, and even that is dangerous), but
simply abandon yourself to the sensations
and emotions of the music itself, as it talks
straight to the heart. One -who attempts,
while the music is going on, to keep track of
the various "points" suggested by commen
tators or even tho "programme" given, in
words by the composer, is most likely to
miss the very soul of the music; ho will come
out wee tne man tiiat couiu not see tne
forest for the trees. This good, if gratuitous
advice is applicable to the enjoyment of all
music, but especially to Wagner's, because
the constant discussion of his meanings and
methods has come to be a great bugbear in
the way of simple, sensible folk who would
liko to enjoy music without being bothered
by polemic. ,
Some such attempt as is above made to re
move the widespread misconceptions ro
?ardlng Wagner's musio is deemedmore use

description of this evening's programme,

Bearing in mind that "Die Walkuere" and
"Siegfried" are, respectively, the second and
the third of tho four connected music
dramas forming the "Nibelungen Ring," the
following paragraph from the Festival pro
gramme book will be of service as stating
briefly tho gradual courso of Wagner's de
velopment and the order of his works:
Half a decade in time, as well as a great differ
ence in style, separates "Lohengrin" and its two
immediate predecessors ("The Flying Dutchman"
and "Tannhaeuser;" 'Rlenzl," and the yet
eariler works are not to be reckoned among the
Eroducts dr Wagner's own Individuality) from the
iter and most characteristically Wagnerian music
dramas. "Lohengrin" was completed in 1843, at
which time Wagner had become so dissatisfied
with the artistic life of the day that he concluded
that a reform in theatric affairs could only be
attained through a general political convulsion:
and he accordingly took part in the revolution of
May. 1849, and was, in epnseqnence, obliged to
leave the country as a fugitive. The first years of
his exile were spent in Switzerland, and during five
of them he abandoned composition and devoted
himself to writing those critical and aesthetic essays
and treatises which served alike to mature his own
principles of operatic reform and to explain them
to the world. The result of this period of study
and reflection arc clearly seen in all bis subsequent
works In tire four dramas of the "Nlbelungcn
Ring." tho composition of which was interrupted
bv the writing of "Tristan and Isolde" and ''Die
Meistersinger," and Anally in "Parsifal," his
swan-song. - ,
A' Gulf to Be Always Bemembered.
This gulf between the earlier and later
series of works should always be borne in
mind. Grea,t as is the superiority in dra
matic consistency and in other points of
"The- Dutchman," "Tannhaeuser" and
"Lohengrin" over the operas of the prevail
ing Italian school had Wagner stopped
there much the greater jart of all this war
faro for and against him would never
have been aroused. Those three Operas
not music-dramas only foreshadow the
fully developed coihposer-dramatist, the
leaf Wagner; they are very widely popular
where his later and truly characteristic
works have not penetrated; to them the
opening paragraphs of this article apply
.only in alnodifled degree. Many extracts
from them are just as suitable- in every
way for concert performance as are
numbers from any of tho more dramatic
old-school operas. This applies largely to
"Die Meistersinger," Wagner's only comedy
opera, in which although the orchestra
tion is of tho'most matured pcriod,the histo
rical and satirical naturo of the 'plot and
poetry call for an altogether different mode
of treatment, having' set pieces, ensembles,
marches, a dance, etc.
It will at once be scon, therefore, that Mr.
Seidl has prudently chosen for this Festival,
extracts chiefly from those of Wagner's
works that lie closest to the older and bot-
-ter understood operatic forms. Tho "Rhlhe
Journey" music last nignt, only the Inst two
numbers this evening, the "Walkuere"
finale to-mdrrow afternoon and the
"Funeral March" and "Tristan" pre
lude and. finale to-morrow night scarcely
one-third of all the Wagner numbers com
pleted the list of extracts from the later and
most genuinely "Wagnerian" music-dramas.
Even these, aro the sections most commonly
heard m concert and most intelligible to the
uninformed audience. In sooth the rabid
anti-Wagnerito can find but llttlo in this
Festival, even from his own standpoint (if
he really knows the vast difference between
certain of tho master's works) against which
to aim his Parthian darts. This is alto-rether
as it should'be. C. W. S.
Politeness ofa Pittsburger.
The polite man who takes off his hat at the
telephone is not int it compared with tho
Pittsburger of prominence and exceeding
culture, who in a Johnstown freight yard,
the other day, was thrown from tho track by
a shifting engine, and who quickly recovered
his equilibrium, and raising his hat, said to
the engineer, "I beg your pardon, I wasn't
aware you were coming."

TO CKUSH THE MAFIA.
New-Orleans Citizens Suggest That
Strong Measures Be Taken.
THE I00SB IMMIGRATION LAWS.
Sicilians If Necessary Should Be Debarred
From Our Shores.
MANY DEFECTS IN THE CEIMINaL CODE
KeW Okleass, May It On the ISth of Octo
ber last, under a resolution of the City Coun
cil, the Mayor was requested to appoint a
committee of CO or more citizens to
thoroughly Investigate the matter of tho ex
istence of Secret societies or bands of oath
bound assassins, which, it was openly
charged, have taken life in our midst.
The committee to-day submitted the fol
Iowing.asn synopsis; The first duty of the
committee was to obtain from the Chief of
Police a report of 91 assassinations by Italians
and Sicilians, and where the accused es
caped for want of evidence. Then followed
the assassination of tho Chief of Police. The
result of the trial which followed demon
strated to the people that no one was safe
from the mysterious band that had allied
itself and was operating outside of and re
gardless of the law. It was only when this
fear grew Into absolute conviction that the
people themselves rose in their might, took
the law into their hands, and then followed
the events of the 11th of March.
The Lynchlngs Were Approved.
With the occurrences of that day in the
parish prison the committee had no connec
tion, and of the contemplated vengeance of
an outraged people, they had no knowledge.
The acts of that day were the inevitable out
come of the existing conditions and have
been proved by this community and -the en
tire country. The report then, at considera
ble length, goes on to show the existence
here of the Mafia, which for years had terror
ized the Italian population, levying tribute
at pleasure under penalty of death if re
fused. A sub-committee called upon the
Italian Consul and assured him that the pur
pose of that body was to legally rid the com
munity of criminals and give greater secur
ity to life and property to all its citizens of
whatsoever nationality.
The Consul stated that he was satisfied of
this, and was ready to co-operate with us to
this end, and he would immediately prepare
and send us a report containing all the in
formation in his possession. He stated that
he was convinced of the existence of the
Mafia in this city, and brought out the regis
tration papers of Bngnetto and pulled out
the Imprint of a seal which ho informed us
was tho seal of the Mafia. He stated that
Srior to the Hennessey assassination he had
i some way unconsciously incurred the dis
pleasure of a coterie (composed principally
oi iue men wno met cneir aeatn at ine par
ish prison on the 11th of March); that they
had invited him to supper, and although he
partook sparingly of oyster soup, when ho
returned home ne was taken desperately ill,
suffered intensely all night, and his symp
toms bore all the evidence of poisoning,
and he was satisfied his life had been at
tempted. Corte Did Not Keep His Word.
The written Information promised your
committee never came. The consul sent
word first that he had telegraphed to Wash
ington for authority to give it to ns and
afterwards notified the committee "that, it
being an extra judicial body," he did not
feel warranted in giving us the promised in
formation. During the interview had with
the consul yonr committee called his atten
tion to his published statement in the New
York Tribune to the fact that the Mayor has
appointed an extra Judicial body which had
held a mass meeting in October last, having
in view tho same object as that of last Satur
day (at Clay statue), but its object was frus
trated owing to his earnest protests and the
opportune Intervention of Mr. Blaine.
we reminded him that he and prominent
Italian citizens had called on the committee
before the mass meeting was held, and when
ine ODjecc oi tno meeting was expiainea, ne
approved the pacific course Justified in the
eannAl nnrl n elrad Im 1iAnr Tift winAnnllarl Tifo
published statements with this. His reply
was that the statements he had made to the
Now York Tribune had been- made by Corte
"as an individual," not Corte "as consul,"
and that the reporter had greatly exagger
ated his statements.
In the resolutien of appointment this com
mittee was requested to suggest needful
remedies. It only remains for us therefore
to point out the remedy, if possible. In our
opinion the remedy is:
First The regulation of immigration.
Second Eeform In the criminal laws and
administration of criminal justice.
Third A law recognizing the existence of
a bar association and endowing it with full
power to try and disbar any attorney whose
evil practices render him unworthy of being
an officer of court.
The only radical remedy which suggests
itself to us is the entire prohibition of Immi
gration from Sicily ana Lower Italy. Tho
committee in conclusion submits suggestions
regarding the Jury system, and advise that
the Legislature be petitioned to amend the
criminal laws' to meet the lequirements
pointed out.

hoped for a friendly solution of the question
involved.
Signor Quintierl, after acknowledging
what he termed the strict legality of Pre
mier di Budini's action in the dispute with
the United States and the character .of his
demands, asked wether, in view of the ver
dict of tho New Orleans grand jury, it would
not be moro dignified to renounce the mat
ter and leave tho responsibility for the
lynchlngs on those tolerating them.
Signor Cavaletto expressed his regret at
the rupture In the relations between the
United States and Italy. He thought that.
little should be said about the affair, as it
was a very delicate matter. He begged
Premier di Budini to uso every endeavor to
bring about a settlement of dispute, which
he said ought not to be allowed to linger.
Premier dl Budini said exaggerated im
Sutatlons ought not to be given to the New
rleans affair, nor a qnestion essentially
judicial converted into one of national
dignity.
CONSUL C0BTE BACKS DOWN.
He Says His Conversation Has Been Mis
represented. New Oihea-ss, May 14. The grand Jury
was called together to-day for the purpose
of acting on some published interviews of
Consul-Corte in which he stated there was a
plot among the Italians to take vengeance
on the Mayor and others, but that he frus
trated it by counseling coolness, and saved
the lives of citizens. A committee of the
grand Jury called on the Consul for the
names of the -plotters, but he said he had
been misinterpreted by tho newspapers.
There was a strong feeling against the Ital
ians here as In all other places in America,
and he, like other Consuls, had used his best
efforts In the interest of peace antl quiet.
Tho grand Jury will meet again In the
morning to receive the committee report.
Consul Corto leaves to-morrow evening, al
though his successor has not yet arrived.
