one of Marshes bondsmen. this morning
offered a reward of 81 900 for the arrest of
the fugitive, and has employed detective

taken out this morning against the Brad

Bardsley is owner, by two of the Sureties

commodation of depositors.
If Bardsley, when he received the
Clearing house due bills from the Key

New YORK, May %. - The Herald
makes pnblic to-day for the first time the
inside history of the diplomatic contro-
versy between Italy and the United States
growing out of the lynching at New Or
leans. It publishes extracts from the
Italian green-book containing documents
submitted by Marquis di Rudini,
Premier to the Italian Parliament, on
April Both. In an interview with Fava.
which is also spread upon the pages of
the book, Blaine says the United States
will not receive orders from any foreign
Government, and that he will stand by
the Constitution. In letter of March
9th to Rudini, Fava says:
''As Blaine did not communicate with
me on the 18th inst, according to prom
Use, | called on him yesterday, and he at
once complained that I was hurrying
him in a manner entirely contrary to
diplomatic usage. L do not recognize the
right of any Government he continued.
TO tell the United States what it should
do. We have never received orders from
any foreign Power, and we will not be-
gin now. Please inform Marquis oil
Rudini that the Federal Government
cannot give an assurance of what he re-
quires, and that it is matter Of total in
difference to me what persons in Italy
think of our institutions. I cannot
change them, still less violate them. The
fact is Marquis di Rudini does not give
us sufficient time. You assure me that
four Italian subjects have been massa-
cred, but have my doubts on that point,
as I am informed they were mixed up in
some scandalous electoral transactions.
Still I don't contest their nationality, but
while I ask for time you want an official
declaration on the spot: Well, l viii not

Outside Comments on the Condition of
Sacramento Women

Outside Comments on the Condition of
sacramento Women.
The following extracts are given to
show how the press of other cities view
the late decision of the Board of Trustees:
Stockton Mail, May 21st.l
Sacramento is truly an unfortunate
city. 1T IS not because the State Legis-
lature meets biennially there, thus giving
the town q very hard name, that we saw
this; that in itself is misfortune enough,
but 1t IS only the beginning of the Capital
City 5 tale OF sadness. 1t is a remarkable,
lamenfable and ever-to- be-regretted fact
that not woman resides in Sacramento.
This is not because women have too much
respect for themselves to take their
chances on residing there, but because
they cannot help themselves Members
of the fair sex may visit the city which
surrounds the State House, but they can
not and do not reside there; the discovery
has at last been made.
The dark fact to which we refer had
been concealed during all the past, and
would, perhaps, have remained forever
hidden had 1t not been for the brilliant
astuteness of the City Board of Trustees.
They are discoveries from away back,
and the melancholy fact could not escape
their eagle glance. A Sacramento ordi-
nance requires the petition of majority
of the residents in block as prerequi-
site to granting license to run saloon
therein. A would-be dispenser Of LIQUID
extracts found himself in an unpleasant
position. lie was able to obtain the sig
natures Of majority of the masculine
residents of the block which he yearned
to bless with his business, but the women.
who cannot be made to understand polit-
zeal exlgencieS, would not sign.
Then 1t was that the immortal Board of
Trustees made the discovery which will
cause their names to go laundering and
ripping down the ages considerably in
advance of those of Christopher Column
bus and Sir Isaac Newton. They found
out that women are not residents of Sac
ramento. At first blush one feels in
clined to congratulate the ladies on not
residing in a place which elects such
Trustees; but as women eat, sleep, marry,
do business and pay taxes there, it be-
comes evident that congratulations might
be premature. There was a great church
council in early times that decided by
majority of two or three votes, and after
much discussion, that women have souls:
II that council had been composed of Sac
ramento Trustees, woman would have
been allowed no more soul than men who
refuse to permit her to reside where she
lives have brains.
But, thank the Lord, the saloon was
saved! What is a little matter of refus-
ing residence to all women, as compared
with glorious fact like that? Over the
grave where woman's residential aspira-
tons are buried that saloon stands, a soli-
tary but glittering monument. On its
one side should be written the following
simple words:

The Louisiana Lottery Combination

DENVER, May 22.-The forenoon ses-
sion of the Commercial Congress was
entirely taken up in the discussion of the
majority report, and at noon the Con-
gross took recess without having taken
final action.
The fine hand of the Louisiana Lottery
combination was manifested in the
defeat of the resolutions calling for a
constitutional amendment by which
lotteries could be legalized in any State.
The vote stood 80 to so.
The remainder of the day was spent in
the consideration of resolutions, all
passed and reported by the committee,
but warm debate was provoked by the
question Of the Government ceding arid
lands to States and Territories.

Forty ninth Congress prohibiting foreign
capital from investing in real estate and
mines was adopted.

Murderer Hanged.

BROKEN Bow (Neb.), May 22.-Albert
Havenstein, the murderer of William
Ashley and Hiram Boten, was hanged at

was sprung there was snap and groan,
and the body fell to the ground. The
rope had broken. Havenstein, half
conscious, was at once picked up by the
Sheriff and deputies and brought back to
the gallows. The rope was doubled and
the trap again sprung. This time his
neck was broken, and death was appar-
emily painless.

BIRMINGHAM (Ala.l, May 22.-At the

the shaft killed ten negro convicts and
one free miner named Tom Moore. 1t is

off plank from door which stood
across an old chamber, and on which the
word gas was written. The gas rushed
out and caught fire from lamp The

rescue and worked 10 save the men. but

OF course if Sacramento's example
should be followed throughout the ma
ton it would result that the dear creatures
whom men adore could not reside any
where, but would be homeless exiles;
and, as men would be dead sure to follow
them into exile, there would be a condi-
ton of affairs. In behalf of the mascu-
line portion of Stockton, the Mail invites
the Capital City ladies to come down
here, where they will be permitted to re-
side.
[Oroville New Era, May 21st.l
The efforts of the press of Sacramento
aided by the unanimous support of all
decent citizens, to rid the city of num-
Der of low dives, have met sudden and
unexpected check, by the decision of the
City Council that women are not resi-
dents. The law in the case provides that
no saloon shall be located in any block
without the sanction of majority of the
residents, and for this reason the sapient
or sap-headed members of the Council,
who seek some excuse for not doing
their duty, and well aware of the fact
that their mothers, wives, sisters and
daughters would never sanction the
presence OF the sinks of iniquity with
which the Capital City is cursed, have
declared them non-residents. The wives
of those Councilmen should lock the
front doors at night, and when their
hege lords come home notify them from
the second-story window that the part
ners of their joys and sorrows no longer
resided there, and advise them to seek
new quarters.
