New York, Aug. 27.-Anthony NJ.
Kelley, who was appointed minister TO
Italy, but afterwards transferred to Vinnna
and rejected by the Austrian government.
arrived here yesterday with his family on
the steamer Rhynland. In an interview
yesterday Mr.. Kelley said: ANY govern
ment, according to international law, from
the fact of its sovereignty, has perfect
right to receive or reject whoever may be
appointed as minister TO it. International
courtesy, even, does not require an eX-
PLANTATION. But when government assigns
reasons for rejection it must be judged by
the strength of these reasons. 1t Is almost
impossible for any American to understand
how q man can be rejected as a minister to
civilized government because his wife is a
JeweSs, as my wife is. That is the reason,
so the newspapers say, which the Austrian
government assigned for my rejection. That
was the only objection made that know
Of 1t is an object l cannot remove,
AND NEVER WOULD
if l could. For the Austrian government
to give such reason to a government
founded on the principles of this govern
ment is an anarchism and is scandalOuS. 1t
affects the United States and insults the
nineteenth century. Italy is a growing and
strong neighbOr of Austria. 1t gains with
rapid steps on its neighbor and Austria
fears to offend it. After my appointment
to Italy l was informed that the views L
had expressed about the action of the Sar-
dinian prince in 1871 in violating the papal
territory would make my reception at the
Roman court cold and seriously impair my
relations with the Italian government. l
hold the same views now that did then
and my beliefs on questions of right and
wrong cannot be changed to get an office.
There is no doubt that the present govern
ment is the
CHOICE OF THE PEOPLE
of Italy. The fact that it is their choice
has convinced me that it is the proper gov
eminent. But the question of the dominion
Of the pope is distinct. The arbitrament
settled that but not the right Of it, The
two provinces of Austria that adjoin Italy
are known as the Italian provinces. They
are peopled with Italians Their senti-
mentS are Italian, and their feelings and
desires impel them TO unite with Italy
Austria knows this and tried to unite them
to herself by doing what would please the
people of these provinces. She wishes
more for the friendship of Italy than for
the alliance and friendship OF the United
States. What / shall do now / do not
know. l was city attorney of Richmond
before L was appointed. 1 resigned, sold
my library and my house. Now l am
broken up root and branch"
WHAT BAYARD SAYS.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-When asked
if Mr.. Kelley made report to the state
department Secre AIRY Daya-d said: ''No.
Mr.. Kelley has no report to make. He has
not been recalled. He still is United States
minister to Austria. His return from
Europe is entirely on his own
motion. We have not asked him
to come back here. The govern
ment since making the appointment
has been entirely passive in the matter
Mr.. Keily'S position rs United States minis
ter to Austria remains unaltered. and the
United States government remains passive
entirely passive" And you have not ar
arranged to replace Mr.. Kelly by any other
man to represent this government at Vi
enna?" I'VE have not thought of such a
thing. The matter remains entirely UNI
changed since Alr. Kelly received his APP
pointment. Mr.. Kelly is stopping with the
secretary"
