Has Some Pretty Sharp Things to Say

LONDON, April 9.-The English press
continues to make the strained diplo.
matte relations between the United
States and Italy, and the circumstances
leading up to the present situation a
principal topic to comment on.
The Telegraph says: 1t could scarcely
appear practical to Italy to be told that
it is uncertain whether the murdered
men were Italians, and that the lynch.

they were members Of an Italian secret

age precipitancy OF the slayers to the
complacency Of the municipal authori
ties OF New Orleans, and the deliberate
skepticism Of Mr.. Blaine, might well
have moved less high spirited nation
than Italy to Tesolute measures. We
