Where the summer long there were bursts OF

From the time OF seed to the waving mead,
And the flush of the ripened sheaves.

WASHINGTON, April IA singular
fact in connection with the Italian mat
ter, which has entirely escaped atten-
tion up to the present time, is that one
of the leading Italians lynched at New
Orleans actually at the time of his
death was the recognized consul at the
port of a foreign government-not that
of Italy. Joseph Macheca, the alleged
head of the Malta, and the most promin-
ent of the victims of the mob. still

Orleans. He was wealthy merchant.
His firm of Macheca Brothers still con-
tinues the agency of one of the i'm
portant steamship lines touching at
New Orleans and trading with South
American ports, and it was probably
from this connection that Macheca came
to be appointed consul for Bolivia. The
hard fact remains that he was such consul
at the time of his unauthorized execu-
ton. Bolivia has no diplomatic repre-
sentatives here. Its most prominent
agent is Consul General O'Barrio, of
New York. 1t does not appear that he
has made any movement in the matter.
Mr.. O'Barrio was delegate to the re-
cent international monetary commits
sion, which sat in Washington. Incl
dentally during his visits to the capitol
in that connection he mentioned with
regret that since the disastrous Chilli
Peruvian war Bolivia had been left
without any seaport, and had to do all
her commerce through neighboring
states. Bolivia without navy or a
seaport is very small factor among
nations. Nevertheless it is possible

ROME, April 17.-The reply of the
United States secretary of state, Mr..
Blaine, to the Marquis di Rudini's last
note on the subject of the New Orleans
affair, is the only important subject of
conversation and newspaper comment
throughout Italy. The full text of the
reply reached this city to-day. When it
became known that the reply had
reached here. the Marquis di Ru-
didi, the United States minister,
Hon. A. G. Porter, and other
persons holding positions which would
enable them to express valuable opinions
upon the New Orleans dispute, were
besieged with interviewers. The sub
stance of the opinions which the gen.
tlemen referred to were able to express
is that the controversy is in course of
adjustment, and that, so far as the
future negotiations are concerned,
the diplomats will seek chiefly
to establish and maintain the
correct construction of the
various points of International law.
which bear directly or indirectly upon
the subject. 1t is officially denied that
there is any truth in the report sent
from Rome to the Daily Chronicle, of
London, that Hon. A. q. Porter, the
United States minister to Italy, is upon
the point of departing from Rome on a
three months leave of absence.

Odds and Ends.

The anti-tights bill was reported by
the Judiciary committee without recon-
mendation. The bill goes at the foot of
general orders, and is hardly likely
again to be heard Of.
The worlds fair bill could not be
found last evening, much to Mr.. Reeves
disgust, who wanted the bill as
amended by the senate finally dis
posed of.
The house continued in session until
after midnight. After o'clock the pro-
ceedings were of most uproarous char
acter. A half-doZen members were at
tempting to address the speaker pro
TEN, MIR. Stone, and the babble of talk
was something deafenlng. Several
hours were spent in frivolous talk and
in motions to get pet measures taken
from general orders and placed upon
the calendar.
The senate file, No. 324, relating to
carnal abuse of children-raising the
age of consent from eleven to fourteen
yearS-paSSed the house last evening
under suspension of the rules.
House File No. IA, by Mr.. StockWell,
regulating the employment of persons
serving in the capacity Of peace officers,
was taken up, and the senate amend
mentS cOncurred in.
Mr.. Tucker tried to bring up Senate
File No. 224, to provide for encourage
ment of raising sugar beet, and to man
ufacture sugar therefrom, bill which
had passed the senate in the afternoon,
but there was some opposition because
of claim that there was no appropri-
alton for the same. and the matter was
laid aside for the time.

money for roads and bridges came up
and was given a second and third read

that, inasmuch as the present session of
this body was so near to close, and
more time than we had at our disposal
would be required to complete such an
examination as was contemplated by
the statement of Mr.. Rupley, your COM
mittee should at once close the investi-
cation SO far proceeded with, prepare
its report and submit the same, together
with copy of the testimony secured
and await your further orders.
Your committee find that on the face
OF the evidence so far secured, the
movement of grain shipped from Du-
luth without strife inspection is appar-
emily so largely in excess of 10000
bushels, the amount named in the reso-
luton under which we were appointed,
as to justify your committee in recon-
mending that means be provided and
authority given your committee to con-
tinue to completion this Investigation.
In justice to all parties concerned,
and to secure such report as would be
warranted by complete examination,
your committee would recommend the
continuance of this investigation, even
beyond the close of the present session
with such powers granted as would en-
able them to retain competent counsel
to allow them to conduct an open eX-
animation of witnesses, etc., and that

this session. Mr.. Bell, of Ramsey, led
the opposition to the bill, but all that he
could say against it could not possibly

THE ITALIAN PRESS
Don't Like the Tenor of Mr..
BIaine'S Note.

New YORK, April 17.-Dr. Luigi Ro-
versi, the editor of Ii Progresso Italo-
Americana, writes long editorial this
morning on the note of Secretary Blaine
to the Italian government. 1t reads as
follows: '"This note. considered OBJ
jectively, does not give the least salts
faction. and it clearly reveals strong
diSinclination to give any or to admit
that Italy has the right to demand salts
faction or reparatiOn of any kind. The
note of Blaine is stiff and not couched
in the usual courteous language of
diplomatic forms. 1t is almost discour-
teouS. Perhaps we are mistaken as to
the object that DIR. Blaine has in view.
Still it is known, and well known, that
several. if not all the men maSSacred
did not fulfill all the demands in
regard to character and past life
that the new immigration laws of the
United States exact We, for our part,
do not see what the home government
will be able to answer, what line of
reasoning it will find to answer Mr..
Blaine when the attorney general of
Louisiana, with papers and certified
penal documents of the kingdom of
Italy, will have proven that the victims
of the lynchers had no legal right
and that the collector of the
port had perfect right and authority to
prohibit their landing, and could have
returned them to Italy on the same
ship by which they had come, if he were
so disposed. Mr. Blaine's theories on
the protection of aliens in this country
are simply stupefying in their crude
and cynical audaclty. They conflict
with every accepted theory of
international equity. and will cause
an outbreak of Indignation in
the whole civilized world and
spread abroad the suspicion that the
treaties signed with Ametica are not
woi'th the paper upon which they are
written. This republic, witch the gIo-
rious Declaration of Independence
placed upon the highest pinnacle of
ideal justice, of liberty and fraternity,
has, through misunderstanding, through
egotISm and pride, been led away by a
false and foolish feeling of national
pride and honor. and now makes for its
own the proverb of the tyrants, that it
was the first to denounce la force prime
le drOit.
ROME, April 1.-THE Messagero
to-day says that Mr.. Blaine'S reply to
the Marquis di Rudini'S last note
evinces the great desire of Mr.. Blaine
to elude the Italian government, to es-
cape from indemnifying the families of
the men lynched at New Orleans, and
to refrain from acceding to the Italian
governments right to intervene in the
New Orleans affair. The Popolo Ro-
mano, also discussing Mr.. Blaine's re-
ply, says that in view of the tenor of
Mr.. Blaine's answer to the Marquis di
Rudini's note, it is difficult to form any
idea as to how or where the matter will
end,

The AntI-Pinkerton Bill.

The afternoon session opened rather
lazily, the warm day evidently inclining
the senators toward something else
than lawmaking. After dispOsing of a
few local measures. however, real fun
commenced, Senator Bell taking the
floor and calling up the anti-Pinkerton
bill. In asking tor action of this bill he
said:
I'VE have taken care of the farmers and of
the soldiers. and now il seems to me that we
ought to pay some attention to our laboring
classes"
A number or the senators objected to
the suspension of the rules and Senator
DOnnelly took the floor in advocacy of
the measure. There was no necessity
whatever for corporations, powerful
though they were, to maintain standing
armies. If the sheriff and regular peace
officers were not able to preserve order
the governor could call out the militia;
if this was insufficient the general gov
ernment could be called upon for armed
troops.
Il see no reason" concluded the
Sage. "why corporations should be put
upon higher level than you or l."
Senator Davis agreed with the Sage
| and was anxious to accomplish the same
objects, but first he wished to give a
little history of what he termed the
notorious anti Pinkerton BILL" which
he declared was introduced i'll 1889 at
the request for the benefit of the de-
tective agencies in st. Paul and Mime
apolis. Under this bill detective ceuld
not make an arrest unless he had been
resident of the state for four months.
If this section were stricken out he
would vote for it.
The discussion went on for time
Senator Johu Day Smith attacking the
bill at length. The vote was finally
ordered and the measure failed to pass,
| receiving but twenty-seven affirmative
votes. The vote stood as follows:

evening journal, when page rushed
in with the journals.
The Journal was at once read by the
clerk and adopted. Mr.. Gallagher fol-
lowed this up with
Resolved, That in the interests of justice
and contrary to the principles of freedom
and equality which typifes our form of
government, we condemn the attempt made
by combination of members in this house
to pass a measure through which has for its
objec; the disfranchisement of from 10000
to $4,000 citizens of this state.
Mr.. Gallagher vigorously accused the
Alliance members of standing disgraced
by their attitude on the election bill.
Mr.. Gildea, the irrepressible, attempt
ed in his weak way to get in reply,
claiming that the Democrats had ''gone
back' on every Alliance measure.
Mr.. Smout shut off further talk by
giving notice of debate.
But this did not end the matter.
After the noon recess Mr.. Lynn
moved to recall the election bill from
the enrolling committee.
Another acrimonious debate followed.
The motion was, however, defeated
by the following vote:
