BARON FAVA'S RETURN HOME,
1t Is to Patch Up Peace Between America
and Italy.

1t is to Patch Up Peace Between America
and Italy.
1t is now declared that the object of Minister
Favas return to Rome on Saturday was to
patch up the difficulty between America and
Italy. Mr.. Michel Angelo, editor Of LEO
dItalid, and an old friend of the baron was
with him for long time on Friday and says
that the baron was in a first-rate good humor.
His health had much improved and the attack
OF grip which he brought from Washington had
entirely disappeared. He sat smoking and con :
versing very pleasantly on general topics, but
avoided all reference to the trouble between
Italy and the United States. Consul General
Riva called during the evening to present his
respects and to wish the baron pleasant voy-
age. General Cesnola was also present. All
attempts to draw Baron Fava out on the in
ternatinal complications failed. He maintained
the most absolute reserve and sidetracked the
conversation whenever it brought around
In that direction. In reply to q request for
an autograph the baron wrote in Italian:
shall, be very glad at another time to ex-
press my esteem for the United States.
'No reporter interviewed him." continued
Michel Angelo, "and, for the matter of. that.
none saw him. As l said good-by Baron Fava
held my hand and said: Well. addio! My mis-
sion to Europe is the re-establishment of the
cordial relations between this country and
Italy. 1 shall, 1 expect, be successful, and
when return Ihope:that everything will be as
ariicable as it has been hitherto Further
than that the baron sale nothing in reference
to international Matters
DIR. Rovorsi of II Progresso Halo americana,
OF New York, stated that he had been author
lied by Baron Fava to state for publication
that he was only going to Rome on "a leave of
absence" and that he is still the italian minister
in Washington.
Referring to the recent dispatches from
Rome the doctor says he believes them to be
fictitious or else sent by the French newspapers
or inspired by, the vatican.

Austin Corbin, president of the Long Island
road, ex-president Of the Philadelphia and
Reading railroad and known as one of the
largest owners of the stock of the New Jersey
Central railroad, was blackballed by the gov
ernors Of the Union Club of New York at their
regular monthly meeting held last Wednesday
evening. The blackballing of Mr.. Corbin is
regarded by great many men an interest
ing development of the antagonism of certain
elements In the Union Club toward millionaires
and the club that the millionaires are organic
ing. 1t is understood that Mr.. Corbin is inter-
ested in the new club and this furnished in
itself a wholly sufficient reason for unhesitat-
ing and unequivocal rejection of his applica-
ton for admission to the Union Club.

EVILS OF IMMIGRATION.
The Union League Club of New York Show
the Need of Restriction.

tine 9eeQ OF RESTRICTION.
The Union League Club of New York las,
week adopted the report Of the committee that
had been considering the New Orleans affair.
After reviewing the lynching, the report says
at is known of all men that for many years we
have been the asylum of the criminals and
paupers of all nations. While we have taken
into the body polite vast body of honest and
intelligent foreigners, who have accepted
American citizenship in good faith. and who
have contributed their full share to the pros
perity and glory of our country, we have also
taken in such food of ignorance, pauperism
and crime and clothed it with the full panoply
Of citizenship, that Americanism is being di-
luted and assaulted in ways that are truly alarm
ing.
I'VE are unable to assimilate so much ignor-
ance, pauperism and crime without great dan
ger TO the body polite. The illustrations of
tins danger are innumerable all around us. All
the better elements of this country are over
taxed In dealing with this flood. Our religious
benevolent and educational institutions ap-
palled in the presence of the demands made
upon them The time is propitious to agitate
these questions before ii is too late and see if
something cannot be done to save our country
and our institutions from the peril that mem
aces them.
If the present laws are not sufficient others
should be framed that will be sufficient. even if
it becomes necessary to provide that every i'm
migrant must produce a consular certificate of
good character at home before he shall be per-
mltted to become one of the family of the
United States. The doctrine contended tor is
not applicable to any one nationality, but to all
nationalities. 1t is the criminal classes and the
paupers that we should defend ourselves from.
we, therefore, recommend the adoption Of the
following resolutions:
THAT we call upon the general government
and the several states to use all lawful means
they possess to prevent the importation Of
criminals and paupers; that we call upon the
courts to be rigid in administering the laws
as to naturalization, and in resisting the impor-
tunities of political parties to clothe improper
persons with the rights of citizenship.
That we call upon the press and the public
to agitate and discuss the subject Of the impor-
tation of criminals and paupers, to the end
that, If present laws are not sufficient to save
our country from this great peril, others may
be enacted that shall be effectual to that end"

THE DISPATCH FROM BOSTON.
dispatch from Boston dated yesterday saws:
The steamer Dorchester of the Merchant and
Miners lire. which reached here this afternoon
from Baltimore. was the scene of a startling
tragedy this morning while off Boston Light.
Although the season IS still early there was
quite list OF passengers in the cabin, among
them being well-dressed elderly man, who
was registered as Constantine Kemp. Washing
ton, ID. c. He had kept much to himself dur
ing the voyage and had been so uncommunica-
tive as to cause comment. This morning, while
the vessel was off Boston Light, at the entrance
of the harbor, he left the breakfast table, and
going upon the hurricane deck drew a re-
yolver from his pocket and before he could be
prevented shot himself in the left breast. He
was picked up unconscious and taken, upon
the arrival of the ship at her dock, to the Mas
sachusetts General Hospital, where he now is.

room was found a sealed letter, addressed to
Miss Mamie Kemp, COL 1 street. Washington,
ID. c., and it was forwarded as addressed by to-
nights mail. Kemp seems to be in financial
distress. He cannot recover.
HAS BEEN IN BAD HEALTH.
Mr.. Kemp is about sixty years old, and has
resided in this city for many years, working at
his trade. Not long ago his sister died sud-
denly in Baltimore, and her death seemed to
prey upon his mind. His health has been any
thing but good during the past few months,
and about three weeks ago he had to stop work.
He lett home Thursday at the suggestion of his
family physician to take a short sea voyage for
the benefit of his health. 1t is supposed that
he purchased the pistol in Baltimore, as he did
not have such a weapon when he left home.
As to the statement that he was in financial
distress there is no truth in it. for MIR. Kemp
carried money with him when he left here and
besides he has three bank accounts.
DIR. kemps son-in-law left here for Boston
upon receipt of the news, but his family had
not heard from him when STAR reporter
called at the house this morning.
The letter mentioned in the dispatch had not
arrived here at that time.

Anna Dickinson's Story.

DR.. Henry W. Wetherill of Philadelphia,
secretary Of the state board Of charities, who
visited Anna Dickinson at the Danville asylum,
says he believes she was insane then, and,
judging from what he saw of her, is inclined
to believe that she is insane now. He
says that she was kindly treated at
the asylum and had very comfortable quarters
The assertion that she has been illtreated by
her sister Susan is ridiculed at Pittston, her
former home. DR.. Seward Of Goshen. N. Y, is

The workingmen's unions throughout Ger
many are moving to take united action against
the introduction of cheap labor from Poland.
There has been no objection to this importation
as long as it was confined to the agricultural dis
tricts, where there is and has been dearth of
native labor, but now the Poles are beginning to
invade the towns and compete with German
workingmen in the mechanical branches of en-
ployment. They work for lower wages than
the Germans and live pore cheaply. Fifteen
Poles were found in two rooms in Berlin living
in common on the cheapest food and sleeping
Oh straw on the floor. They have found work
