A CURIOUS MEDLEY.


LONDON, April The practical ef-
feet Of the Court Of Appeals decision in
the Jackson abduction case, which held
! that wife has practically no legal eN-
iStence apart from her husband, had its
first application to other cases Illus
trated yesterday. As the law recently
stood, the wife. il cruelty treated, had
the right to apply for separation
order, and it was generally granted her.
Yesterday at the Luton police court Il
case Of wite-beating came up and the
wife asked for judicial separation.
The bench refused 10 grant IL, and at
the same time intimated that after the
Jackson case, separation orders would
not be granted, under the argument
that the wife could live apart from her
husband II she so desires.
The applicant then asked for main
tenance for her children, and this was
also refused, as this, too, had become a
dead letter under the recent decision.
The Times to-day in an article sum
ming up the concensus Of opinion, as
gathered from the numerous letters
that have deluged the papers since this
jackson ease first claimed public atten-
tion, says
The decision in the Jackson suit must
be the beginning OF far-eXtending
change. II Is the latest Of series OF
decisive enactmentS which make the
English marriage law medley like
nothing ever before heard Of What
mass OF confusion and contradictions 1t
contains? We don't suppose that a
wife leaving her husband under cir
cumstauces akin 40 those OF the jack
son case could pledge his credit. al
though nice questions might arise,
II she were ready TO return to him. But
I'm event OF such desertiOn by the huS-
band, the wife may undoubtedly pledge
his credit. She may obtain, under the
matrimonial causes act, an order Tor the
payment Of what may be deemed just.
The husband, too, may, in the event
Of his wife desertin him, obtain recti-
flcation or her settlement, but he cannot
pledge her credit, however wealthy she
may be. He cannot obtain divorce
merely on the ground OF such desertlon,
however inexcusable, or however pro-
longed.
II there be renewal Of the agitation
for exteneed facilities for divorce, which
would be a misfortune, it will be due,
not to the arguments Of those who
write pamphlets and articles entitled,
"Is Marriage Falure?" but to this de-
cision which has brought into promi-
nence the curious character OF our mar
rage law, its anomalies, Inconsistencies
and positive injustice. The English
have always laughed at the anomalies
OF the American law on marriage and
divorce, but how about our own to-day?

PARIS, April 5.-If Chicago expects to
get the best work OF the leading French
artists for the Worlds Fair better guar
antees than any yet given at American
exhibitions must be assured.
Daguerrean says that while he is most
kindly disposed toward art movements
in America, it is too great risk to ex-
pose valuable works to such Il long alb
sence when it is difficult TO get redress
in the event Of irregularities. AT the for
eign Office here no credit is given
to the reports circulated in London and
Berlin, regarding the Cars alleged in
tention to precipitate war. On the
contrary, the Russian Army is not yet
In position to begin an aggressive war.
The first result OF the miners congress
has been the declaration by Belgian
miners, to-day, in favor OF a general
strike, il the government refuses
to assent to the revision OF the con-
stitution. The temper OF the speakers
at the workmen's congress in Brussels
point OF wholesale Belgian strikers
whether there be revision or not.
Everything indicates that the first great
fight for eight hours a day will begin in
May, the English, French and German
unions selecting Belgium as the field
upon which to decide the conflict against
the capitalists.
The discussion as to the authenticity
OF the Talleyrand memoirs continues.
Mr.. Whitelaw Reid, the American Min

Of Talleyrand, copied the originals and
declared the copy exact The origi-
nails will probably never be found.

A CALM VIEW
OF the Trouble Between this Country and
Italy.

PARIS, April 5.-The conflict between
Italy and the United States continues
TO attract attention. Siguor Raquem, a
former Garibaldian, now editor OF the
Op0Jte, the organ OF the Italian colony
here. said in an interview to-day: "Oi
course, there will be no war. The Re
pubicans in Italy who form powerful
minority, entertain a friendly feeling
for America, and would consider a war
with the United States simply an at
tempt 10 discredit in tle eyes OF the
Italian people Republican institutions.
"A recent meeting OF Italians
in Paris discussed the New
Orleans affair, and while every
body reprobated the conduct of the
lynchers, nobody approved the action
of the Marquis di Rudni. Baron Fava
was greatly blamed for creating the
difficulty. He is an aristocrat and is
not in sympathy with republican inSti-
tutions. His reports to the Italian cab
met, doubtless c0lored by his own an
tipathies, precipitated matters. Ac-
cording to our view nothing ought to
be done to embarraSs Mr.. Blaine in his
efforts TO effect an early and pacific set
tlement."
Financial houses here having the
closest relations with Italian houses
state in Italian widespread commercial
trouble, long chrocin, are becoming
critical, and that apart from ltaly's
overwhelming public debt, which would
disable her in an attempt to go to war
unless backed by other European pow
ers, any measures imperiling peace
would produce a general financial crash.
Already an effort OF the American-Ital-
ian difficulty is felt in the hesitation OF
French financial houses to proceed with
the negotiations pending for the pro-
spective Italian loan, in which German
houses are also concerned"

have converted the conversation on the
subject into lecture on the American
Constitution. Doubtless 1t was unfor-
tunate that the Italian Foreign Secre-
tary was absent from Rome when Mr.
Porter called at the department, but
the correspondence between Baron
Fava and Mr.. Blaine as sent TO Europe
by cable seems TO Indicate that the mat
ter was taken up by the Washington
Government from the first as purely
executive matter, and in temper which
is perhaps TO be regretted.
No allusion appears to have been
made to the very distinct provision made
In the Constitution for dealing with
cases arising between foreign govern
ments or their subjects and the govern
ments or citizens OF the several sover-
eign States, yet this would seem to be
precisely such case. In the third ar
ticle OF the Constitution OF the United
States 1t Is expressly provided that the
judicial power, meaning the power OF the
Supreme Court, shall extend TO all cases
in law and equity arising under the
Constitution, tue laws OF the United
States and treaties made, or which shall
be made under their authority between
a State or the citizens thereof and for
eign States, citizens or subjects, and IL
is further provided that in all cases in
which State shall be a party the Su-
preme Court shall have original jurisdlc-
tion.
Possibly President Harrison and Mr..
Blaine have unpleasant association with
the Supreme Court arising out Of the
Behring sea difficulty, but in this Ita-
liam business ii might have prevented
much unhandsome comment upon the
power OF the United States TO protect
foreigners within its boundaries il the
Department OF State had pointed out TO
the Italian Minister the fact OF this
original jurisdiction Of the Supreme
Court over cases in which a foreign
State or subjects OF a foreign State
may believe injury and injustice 10 have
been done by any State OF the Union or
by It's subjects.
1t IS difficult TO suppose the Federal
Government can wish foreign powers
to understand that the safety and the
rights OF foreigners residing in the
United States under treaties can only
be assured by Federal invasion OF the
rights OF the States. II that were the
case, this Italian question would RAPIDLY
become an American question, and a
very serious one.

LONDON, Anril l.-In an interview to-
day, Mr.. Hurlbert, who has Just return
ed from the Continent, where he was at
the beginning OF the diplomatic out
break between Italy and the United
States, says there Is much less excite
ment in Italy over the lynchlng at New
Orleans than there appears TO be among
the Italians in the Unit9d States. Con-
tinuing, Mr.. Hurlbert said:
Ny wife and her sister are now in

with American travellers, where all man
ner of social festivti 5, such as come
with Easter, are going on, with no in-
terruptlon OF harmony between the
American residents and their Italian
friends. The men lynched in New Or
leans appear TO have been chiefly sicil-
ians. and as the general impression pre-
walls in other parts OF Italy that mur-
der societies exert great political and
social influence in Sicily. the intel
ligent Italians OF Northern and
Central Italy are obviously In
clined to believe that the New
Orleans victims pr0OaOly got no more
than they deserved. No responsible
Italians for moment imagine that the
United States or the State OF Louisiana
have intended any disrespect or injury
to Italy. Throughout this affair their
general sentiment is, should say, that
whatever Italians were iynched in New
Orleans were lynched not because they
were Italians, but because they were
murderers.

doubt the matter might have injured
