done IN his telegram to the Governor of
Louisiana as early as the 18th Of March
The United States did not by the treaty
with Italy become the insurer of the lives or
property Of Italian subjects resident within
our territory.
The foreign resident must be content in
such cases to share the same redress that is
offered by the law to the citizen. Foreign
residents are not made favored class.
It is not believed that Italy would desire
more stringent construction of her duty un-
der the treaty. Where the injury inflicted
upon foreign resident is not the act of the
Government, or of its officers, but of an in.
dividual, or Of mob, it is believed that no
claim for indemnity can justly be made
unless it shall be made to appear that the
public authorities charged with the peace of
the community have connived at the unlaw-
ful act, or. having timely notice Of the
threatened danger, have been guilty of such
gross negligence in taking the necessary pre-
cautions as to amount to connivance.
If, therefore, it should appear that among
those killed by the mob at New Orleans
there were some Italian subjects who were
resident or domiciled in that city, agreeable
to our treaty with Italy, and not in violation
Of our immigration laws, and who were
sbiding in the peace of the United States
and obeying the laws thereof and of the
State Of Louisiana, and that the public Of
ficers charged with the duty of protecting
life and property in that city connived at
the work Of the mob, or upon proper
uorIce or information or Jne threatened dan
ger, failed to take any steps for the preser-
Vation Of the public peace. and afterward to
bring the guilty to trial, the President would,

Another kink was twisted into the tail
of the Graham-Irsch feud yesterday by
the arrest of John A. Graham and his
preliminary hearing before Justice Whit
field, charged with. obtaining property
under false pretenses from Francis 1rsch.
The case is based upon a loan made to
Graham OF $4,000, secured by what was
alleged to be first mortgage on a one
fourth interest and second mortgage on
three-fourths interest in valuable min
ing property in Jefferson county.
Irsch introduced as evidence certified
copies of mortgage on the same land
which had previously been given to the
Land Mortgage Bank of London to Sc
cure loan of $18, 900, aud later mort
gage for $4,000 on the nineteenth section
of the same lands to the same bank, also
deed to another party to the aforesaid
nineteenth section, all of which are of
record in the clerks Office in Monticello
The loan of $4,000 was made January
7, 1890, and was to run five years. The
records did not show that these mort
cages had been satisfied, and upon this
the warrant sworn out by Irsch was
based.
| Among the witnesses who testified
were w. Nj. Girardeau and Mr.. Lyman o
Monticello.
The prosecution was represented by
Hon. Fred T. Myers and the defense by
| Col. John A. Henderson.
