GRIM-VISAGED WAR.
The Italian Minister at. Washington
Demands his Passports from Sec- .,
retary Blaine.
American Citizens Seized in Italy and
Held as Hostages Blaine Re- .
fuses to Talk:
The Associated Press Reports are Sent
Exclusively to the Chronicle at
The Dalles. -
MAY LEAD TO WAR.
The Italian Minister Demands His Pass
ports.
Washington, March 31. Baron Fava
has presented to the state department
his recall by the Italian government and
has demanded his passports. The de
partment was greatly surprised because
it was wholly unexpected and because
the investigation into the Kew Orleans
matter was not completed.
The reason for the recall is that the
king of Italy is dissatisfied with the
progress of the adjustment between the
two countries in regard to the New Or
leans massacre.
This action can be construed into no
other way than an act of open hostility
on the part of the Italian government to
the United States with which it has here
tofore been on friendly terms.
Blaine Refuses to Talk.
Washington, March 31. Blaine has
just been seen by an associated press re
porter and absolutely refuses to say one
word.
HELD AS HOSTAGES.
Eighteen American Citizens Seised
in
Rome by the Italians
Washington, March 31. It is repor
ted that eighteen American citizens have
been seized and imprisoned in Rome to
be held as hostages.
The Arrest of Americans . Has Been
. .Wholesale.
Washington, March 31. It is now re
ported around the state department that
it -was at Florence that the eighteen
Americans were thrown into prison in
stead of Rome, as first reported. It is
also said that others have suffered the
same fate in Italy. In all cases the
Italian officers have refused to give im
prisoned persons any reasons for their
arrest.
THE PROVINCIAL WAR.
Confirmation of the Reports of the Mas
sacre of the Ghorks's
Calcotta, March 31. Official des
patches received here today by govern
ment officers confirm the report of the
massacre of Ghorka's at Maripur in - the
province of Assam. About 470 of these
were native soldiers which were slain by
hostile tribesmen of Assam, after two
day's fighting. The fate of the British
officers in command of the Ghorkas and
chief commissioner Jas. W. Quinton is
still uncertain but the'viceroy of India,
Marquis of Lansdowne believes that all
the officers and officials have either met
death, or that they are held as prisoners.
In addition to the disaster at Manipur
it is believed that the force of British
troops composed of ' a detachment
of 200 soldiers of Bengal infantry
and about eighty Ghorkas who were
marching from Shillora to Manipur in
order to reinforce the escort of chief
commissioner Quinton, have been at
tacked and share the fate of their com
rades at Manipur.
Will Try to Compromise the Strike.
Pittsburg, March 31. With the ex
ception of President Gompers all the
members of the executive board of
American federation of labor are in the
city for the purpose of holding a confer
ence on the critical situation in the coke
regions. An effort will probably be
made to effect a compromise and end the
strike. '
Quiet So Far but Trouble ' May Be
Ahead.
Pittsbukg, March 31. There was no
riot in the coke regions last night and
all is quiet this morning. The works
are in operation with a reduced force
and an .effort will be made to keep them
rnnning. Workmen are arming and ser
ious trouble is expected before the strike
is over. ' '

A Tragedy of ITnusnal Sadness Reported
From New England.
Boston, March 29. A tragedy of un- i
usual sadness is reported this evening
from the little town of Newport, on the
Avon river, near Windsor. Two days
ago the Viody of Madeline Duval , aged 22
years, the pretty, young wife of Lucien
Duval, was found drowned in an icehble
in the river. She was an orphan, and
had only been married two years, and
was devoted to her husband. ' The body
showed that she had not been long in
the water. The remains were taken to
her home, where her babv was found
crying of hanger. Search for her bus-
Dana lonnu turn wandering aimlessly
about in the woods, almost a mile from
his home, evidently semi-demented.
This led to the suspicion that he might
Vie responsible for his wife's death, and
he was watched. The. funeral of Mrs.
Duval took place today, and during the
excitement attending the obsequies he
eluded his keepers and fled. This
evening his body was found hanging in
a barn, dead, in his pocket was a letter
saying ever since his marriage he had
been trying to ascertain who his wife's
parents were, she being an adopted
child. He had just received information
from St. John, N. B., that she was no
less a persons than his own sister, his
mother and father having seperated, he
f oing with his father to Prince Edward's
sland. Soon after the seperation a
daughter, Madeline, was bora, and the
mother, too proud to ask help of the
father, never told him of the birth. The
girl was adopted and brought to New
port, where Duval met and wedded her,
and one child was the result; Being
very religious, they were overcome with
horror at the discovery, which evidently
drove Mrs. Duval insane and led to her
rash act. Horror and remorse at her
fate also drove him to a similar end.
ANOTHER REPUBLIC.
Everything Points to the Establishment
of Such a Government In Norway.
New York, March 29. A Christiana
letter to the Tribune says that in recent
years Norwegian statesmen have often
made the boast that the next European
republic would celebrate its birth at
Christiana. Since the fall of the min
istry recently Herr Stang was heard to
say:
.. "The belief seems to be general that the
requiem over the last conservative min
istry has been sung."
King Oscar virtually admitted bis
powerlessness to stem the republican
movement in Norway when he abandon
ed his resistance to the nomination of
Steen as prime minister. The latter has
forced the crown to surrender one by one
nearly all its Norwegian prerogatives.
Steen, at a public meeting a few weeks
before becoming premier, said :
"Dnless we obtain the fullest govern
ment, the fullest equality with Sweden,
the union between the two countries will
be completely dissolved. We all hold
our beautiful land to be far too good to
become Swedish."
Everything points, therefore, toward
the final separation of democratic Nor
way from conservative Sweden, and to
the early establishment of a republic at
Christiana.
WHAT PROVOKED THE CHALLENGE.
The Story of the Perfidy of the Son of
the Ex-Minister to Roumania.
Vienna, March 29. Marie Glasier is
the name of the pretty circus girl who
charges M. Rudolph Vacaresco, son of
the ex-minister to Roumania, with steal
ing her diamonds. He first borrowed
and then pawned the jewels. The young
man gave the girl the impression that
he would make her his wife, and man
aged to borrow from her not only her
jewelry, but nearly all the money she
earned while at Vienna. What is looked
upon as making the matter worse, he
used a portion of the money thus obtain
ed in paying court to the daughter of the
German embassador. The latter discov
ered his perfidy : and made the facts
known to the Princess Reus with the re
sult of Vacaresco's ejection from the ball.
The Prince of Reus persists in his refus
al to fight a duel on the subject.
THE MURDERED ACTRESS.
She Had Worked In Seattle, and Was
Well Known There.
Seattle, March 29. Mabel DeBabian,
the variety actress, who was shot and
killed in the Casino theater, at Spokane
Falls, Friday night by a discarded lover,
at one time was a performer at Cort's
theater in this city. When the Mabel
Francis Burlesque company stranded in
Portland last winter, the woman was a
member of the troupe. She came to
Seattle and for a few weeks was at the
Standard. Then she went to the Casino
at Spokane. Stage ' Manager John
Baker, of Cort's theater, said this even
ing that he knew the woman well. He
did not consider her a success as a
variety actress, and he could not imagine
why she ever took to the stage, tor she
had no talent nor training, and no idea
of how things should be done. Were
not the circumstances of the tragedy so
serious, he would consider the reports
sent out from Spokane .concerning the
woman as very amusing.
Tiffin's Temperance Warfare.
Tiffin, O., March 29. The temper
ance warfare . at Bloomville continues
with additional riotous demostrations.
After his saloon was demolished Miller
procured a new stock of liquors and es
tablished himself in other quarters.
Last night his place was visited bv a
crowd of men and women, who assaulted
the proprietor and barkeeper, injuring
the latter seriously, and giving both of
them half an hour to leave town, on pen
alty of more severe treatment. Among
tne leaders oi tne mob was a Metnodiet
minister.

Sales Expected.
New York, March 31. The duty on
sugar comes off at 12 o'clock tonight and
wholesale stores will open then to meet
the demand from retailers. A difference
of two cents per pound will, it is expected,
result in enormous sales as retail markets
are practically bare of stock.
TREATED AS A JOKE.
Dr. Gentry's Theory of La Grippe Mi
crobes Declared Improbable.
New York, March 29. The startling
story from Chicago to the effect that Dr.
William T. Gentry, of that city, has dis
covered the microbe of la grippe, and hei
believes they drop down while the earth
is passing through vast spaces of "sand
dust," has caused a sensation among the
physicians of this city, and excited crit
ical comment not at all lavorable to the
medical reputation of the alleged discov
erer, .several prominent doctors and
expert pathologists were interviewed to
day regarding the importance of Dr.
Gentry's discovery, and were unanimous
in declaring that it was altogether im
probable and utterly without scientific
value. Most of the medical fraternity
here upon the story as a huge joke and
decline to discuss it seriously.

The Karl Is Dead.
London, March 31. Earl Granville
died this afternoon.
Under date of March 24th, "Keno"
writing from Antelope to the Fossil
Journal, says : "The snow is all gone,
which is good, and it is gone into the.
ground, which is better. The flock
masters are daily drawing on our Lazy
club for herdsmen, and followers of the
lamb are wandering forth to spend the
summer months amidst the hills and
dales ; soon the merry voices that cried
'High, low, jack, game,' during the
winter will make the echo ring with
'Way round eni.' The plowman with
his keen-edged plow is letting the sun
light under the sod, and the fall grain is
putting forth its tiny blade to catch the
dew ; in the silent watches of the night
the shepherd's lantern can be seen on
the distant hillsides warning the coyote
away from the fold, and the man in the
moon presses both fingers in his ears as
the Thomas cat informs all nature it is
spring. According to the almanac
spring has been here nearly a month,
but according to the badger and the
bunchgrass tick it has but just arrived.
The almanac being of foreign birth can

to cross his blood with priest or prophet

thrill through : your system and on
searching find one of these backbiters
clinging to you like a bosom friend, or
when in the still hours of night yon feel
him skipping from rib to rib or striking
the high places along your backbone
you need no almanac to tell you it is
spring.
Mr. L. H. Adams is expected here
next week to look after the Mt. Hood
road and arrange for the opening of
Cloud Cap Inn. It is probable this fa
mous place will be opened much earlier
this year than last, as there has not been
so much snow; Glacier.
