INTENSE BITTERNESS IN ITALY.


ROME, April lin Italian political
circles the vigorous action taken by the
government in connection with the
serious situation created by the recent
New Orleans massacre Of Italian prls-
oners, is generally and fully endorsed,
without respect to party divisions.
The press reflects the prevailing politl-
cal popular feeling, and is strong IN It's
denunciation Of the Washington Gov
eminent for it's half-hearted efforts to
maintain the national authority and
exact reparation for crimes committed
against Italians on the soil of one Of
its States. So bitter is the feeling that
a large number of influential Italians
are urging the government to send out
a circular note to friendly powers, ask
ing them to unite in denouncing the
United States as nation at once una
bic to insure the administration Of jns-
tice or 10 fulfill the duties which Il chiv-
alrous government owes by virtue Of
its existence to mankind.
Perhaps in no way is the anger OF a
certain class of Italians better illustra-
ted than in the fact that a number of
influential persons are now demanding
that the Premier shall at once break
with the Washington government, lg-
more its jurisdiction in the. present diff
ficulty, and proceed at once to directly
call the State of Louisiana to account.

AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT.
Baron Fava, Italian minister, nc
Illoi,,n 70 G,1- fEaH 1nn6ar q

'tBaron Fava, Italian minister, notified
Secretary Blaine to-day that. under orders
from Rome, he was compelled to withdraw
from his mission near this Government. He
does not close the Italian legation, but
leaves the Marquis 1mperiala. the present
secretary, to act as charge d affaiIes. That
action is in no sense one of hostility to this
Government, but may indicate certain de.
gree of discomfort on the part Of the Italian
ministry. Baron Fava has been on diplo.
matte duty in Washington for the past ten
years and kiS retirement will be much re-
gretted, both officially and socially. High
Iy sensational rumorS connected with this
retirement are not believed TO have any
truthful foundation -

is to be limited in his functions to is
suing passports. inStructiDg consular
officers and other small matters.
In this case further CORES pondence
between the Governments OF the
United States and Italy must take
place directly between Washington and
Rome
But this view OF the case is rot gen
orally taken in official quarters, and it
is expected that the charge G'affalrs
VIII be really in charge of the Italian
legation, and that when Blaine wishes
to address himself to the Italian Gov
ernment his communication will be
directed to Marquis Imperiali, who ac-
ccrding to notice is in charge Of ItalyS
interest in the United States.
It can be stated positively that unless
events take an unforeseen and improD-
able turn there will be no call issued
for an extra session of Congress, and
one of the most serious i'll effects OF the
incident will be the probable postpone
ment for an indefinite time of the Presl-
dents proposed Southern and Western
trip. The view taken by the Admins
tration, as it is understood, is that this
Government has done all that could be
done in the matter. Even If it had
complete legal jurisdiction IN the case
it could only assure the Italian Gov
ernment that it would prosecute the
persons guilty Of the attack on the
Italians at New Orleans. 1t could not
assure the Italian Government that it
would punish them as Italy desires,
and that would be for the grand and
petit juries to determine. The Italian
Government has been told that the
President ''deplores the abhorrent oc-
currence," and that this Government
had taken steps to investigate the mat
ter. Part of this investigation was the
ascertainment of the nationality of the
Italians who were killed, and this has
not vet been learned. There is no
proof whatever before the President or
Secretary Of State that q single Italian
citizen was among the victims, and
such proof is an absolutely necessary
preliminary to fair demand for repair
alton. Officers OF the department Of
justice are still inQuiring into this and
other branches OF the case.
ITALIAN POLITICS AT TIE BOTTOM
OFT.
It IS suspected iu Administration
circles that recent changes in the ltal-
ian Cabinet may have had much to do
with the present state of affairs. The
Marquis Rudini, who has assumed the
premiership. is supposed to be open to
the influence Of popular clamor and to
desire to achieve I. reputation with the
masses by catering to the demand of
the hot-heahed element in Italy. At
any rate it is felt that the present state
of affairs is only temporary. and there
is no disposition or intention to take
any hasty action on the part of this
Government. Certainly Porter, the
United States minister to italy, will not
be recalled attitude, and this Govern
ment will MAINTAIN a pacific and abide
by the developments Of the future: In
other words, as put by very dlstin-
guished statesman, speaking Of the SUD-
ject tonight, "we will keep onr shirts
on" and trust to the lapse of a little
time to restore the old pleasant rela-
tions with Italy. \ statement of to-
days event, given out tonight by
high official Of the Govern ment, is as
follows:

The peIamaters Give Ball.

MEADvILLE, Pa, Jan. &C. B. Dslamater,
g. W. Delamater, the Republican candidate
for Governor, and T. A. Delamater, the
members of the firm of Delamater 4 Co,
bankers. who assigned recently, were this
afternoon summoned before Aldermcn
Dougan, charged with embezzlement. TIE
complaint was made by the outgoing board
of County Commissioners, whose term of
Office expired last Monday, and, stripped Of
legal verbiage, States that II. 7. Marley, f.
J. Bailey, and W. J. Lindsay, the ex-Coni-
missioners, charge Deiamster & Co. with
the embezzlement of upward Of $4,000 Of
the county funds, having received the ce-
posits of the County Treasurer while know
ing themselves to be insolvent, and convert
ing the same to their own use. The conf
plant was made under the provisions of the
act approved May 8. 1889, relating TO the
receiving cf deposits by insolyent bankers,
a law in favor of which Senator Deiamater
voted.
The complaint was read, plea Of not
guilty entered and hearing waived. Bonds
were given by each Of the defendants in the
sum OF $4,000 for their appearance at the
February term of court, with Eigar Huid-
koper and ID. G. Richmond as securities.
A test case viii probably be presented for
argument in court next Monday to decide If
bank balances are an Offset 10 notes new held
by other parties, but originally loan made
by Delamater & Co. There are quite num-
Der of these cases, and an organized effort
will no doubt be made by number of
persons interested in the validity of such
offsets.
The suits against the Delamaters are due
to the poor showing made by the statement
of the appraisers appointed TO examine the
assets aud liabilities of the firm. That state
ment was filed this we-k 1t shows that the
liabilities are 81 l,04o, 600, and the assets in
round numbers about 100000 so that the
creditors cannot hope to recover much more
than 25 per cent on their claims. A public
meeting Of unpreferred creditors will he held
on Monday 20 take steps for an investigation
Of what became of the money.

Hnrs Roao Scheme.

From he Philadelphia Press.
Governor HIS Recommendation for sys-
tenn of State roads so laid ont that each coun-
ty will be crossed by two az near as may be

than il mas received. No country districts
in the world have ever had thoroughly good

France, which has the best country roads
in the world, has three systems-national

radiating from them in departments, and
the third the lesser roads in each township.
Our country roads, aside from bad manage
