THE MALTA PREMIER HOPEFUL.

Rudini Says the New Orleans Matter Is o
Legal Question-No Need to Arbitrate.
ROME, May A-Rudini in the chamber OF
deputies today, discussing the New Orleans
affair, said 1t was simply legal question. Eu-
ropean sympathy was with Italy, and he hoped
for a friendly solution of the questions involved
Signor Quinteri asked whether, in view of the
verdict of the New Orleans grand jury, 1t would
not be more dignifed to denounce the matter
and leave the responsibility for the lynching on
those tolerating it. Signor Cavelletto expressed
regret at the rupture in the relations between
the United States and Italy. He thought little
should be said about the affair, as it was very
delicate matter.
Premier Rudini said exaggerated importance
ought not to be given to the New Orleans affair,
!. nor question essentially judicial converted
into one of national dignity. Replying to a
question relating to the New Orleans grand
jury and Corte, Italian consul at New Orleans,
Premier Rudini added that he had learned
through newspapers OF the incident regarding
the consul III the news were true, the matter
would be of itself sufficient to prove real in
suit TO Corte.
WASHINGTON CITY, May Alt Is said at the
state department that there has been no sug-
geston of arbitration of the difficulties between
Italy and the United States growing sout of the
New Orleans tragedy, as reported in a dispatch
from Rome. Arbitration is the last resort after
diplomacy has failed, and as Secretary Blaine
has promised to consider claims for indemnity,
it cannot be held that the diplomatic stage has
rassed

FIRE IN BALLARD.
Small Dwelling Destroyed-A Musi-
cal Entertainments.


A small fire in Ballard at 5 o'clock last even
ing drew a large and miscellaneous crowd In
the vicinity of the burning building. The
building destroyed was one-story frame In the
rear OF the FrancoGerman restaurant, on Bal
lard avenue, and was occupied as dwelling by
Mr.. Lee Wright Mr. Wright, who is a painter,
was boiling linseed oil on the cooking stove
The oil in some way caught fire, and like a
flash spread to all parts OF the building. The
family had barely time to escape from
the room without being burned and
Mr.. Wrlghts hair and eyebrows were consider
ably singed. All the household furniture and
family wearing apparel were burned. Within
fifteen minutes after the fire started Chief George
Shields and his volunteers OF the fire depart
ment promptly and skilfully had it under
complete control. The biackened and
charred frame remains standing in its entirety
although the contents of the house were a total
loss. The loss on building is $780, on furniture
$3.50; no insurance. The building was originally
built by Wright & May for carpenter and
joiner shop, and belongs to Mr.. Bauer, who also
owns the Franco-German restaurant building.
This is the second time the salt water system
has been called into practical operation, and on
both OCCASIONS it worked like a charm. The
people are justly proud of their fire system, and
naturally expect the insurance companies
lower the rates.
The entertainment given under the auspices
OF tue LADIES Gu1IO OF 81 stephens Episcopal
church at the opera-house last night was for an
amateur performance, creditable to all con-
cerned. The electrical display made by Messrs
kasson and Bishop, of Seattle, gave the opera
house most brilliant appearance. The drama
"Down by the Sea-" was cleverly performed and
reflected credit upon the management of Mrs
Weise. Mr.. McCann as the French peddler, Mr.
Hopkins as an English dude, Mr.. Alfred White
and Mr. Lambert as Mr.. and Mrs. John Gale in
costumes and character, acted their parts
admirably. The Misses Dill sustained their
well-known reputation, while Messrs. Grover,
Bishop and Millener performed their parts in a
satisfactory manner.
MIR. A. Mccain, with the able assistance of
Messrs. Cambert and Hopkins, brought down
the house with his burlesque representations
and parodies The other features of the evening
were the club-swinging by X. Peabody, which
was especially fine, and the musical part of the
entertainment was particularly appreciated by
the audience. The songs by Miss Randall and
Mrs. Perry Gage received great applause The
concert was a decided success

IMMIGRATION AN ISSUE.
A Talk With Henry Cabot Lodge On
Political Possibilities.

NEW YORK, May H-lSpecial. Congressman
Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts, was in
town today. Speaking of the probable Issues
in the next presidential campaign, he
said: '1t will be impossible TO tell what
figure the tariff question will cut until 1t is
known what the Democratic congress attempts
in the way of tariff legislation. / believe silver
coinage will be made more prominent than

"Will the election bill be an issue?"
al don't think the election bill will be an issue.
An election bill will not get show in the next
House. Any one who has studied
the question of immigration" he
said, changing the subject, twill
be convinced that there is need of more strin-
gent laws on this subject. Figures show
that the quality OF immigrants has
changed greatly within six or eight
years. Some inspection should be made at the
European end of the line. An examination
before they leave home as to the health of those
who propose to come to the United States
would be desirable. This might be made by
consular physicians. Educational qualihca-
tons would be desirable, and law on this
point should require the immigrant to be able
10 read and write his own language.

foreign Office to DENLY says the emperor has not
deputee official representatives TO expositions

having now received kindly sentiments from
the United States government, the prince and

Caprivi, the New German Chancellor.

Harpers Weekly.
Caprivi made his reputation as general
of ability long before the crisis happened
which called him TO the head of the state
department. Last year saw him for the
first time since the Franco-German war,
commanding an army corps at the grand
man9uvers near Hanover. His manner
is characteristic of great man as well as
good soldier-simple, direct, courteous.
and, where possible, conciliatory. His
face is curiously like that of the great
chancellor whom he succeeds, but has in
it far more of the human and engaging;
less bull-doggy, though not less plucky.
To include the prime minister in list of
the country's generals would appear odd
in England or with US, but in Germany
the situation has nothing eccentric in it.
Bismark, to be sure, never held an active
command, but all through his life as
civilian official he manifested far greater
desire to appear in the livery of war than
to rest his fame on his achievements in
the cabinet. Caprivi may or may not
prove greater as general than as a minis
ter of state, but in the event of the next
war no surprise need be felt if we read his
name gazzetted as commander of a mobi-
lized army marching toward ST. Peters
burg.

Mormonism and polygamy. Its salvation rests
with the Christian women of the country.
