In Tone.
PARIS, April S.--French papers discuss
the Fava affair for the most part in
temperate tone. with the exception Of the
Temps, which refers to Americas speedy
action in sending iron-clads to Tangier to
support her demands in the case of the
maltreatment OF American citizens The
Temps thinks il is a strange con-
tradlction for America to decline
responsibility when foreigners are in
volved, and asks: "Why should the fed
eral government sign international treaties,
II, when pressed closely, they disappear like
phantomsP
La Liberte thinks that the Washington
government cannot, for the sake OF few
thousand dollars, allow its respect for inter
national law to be impugned.
The Pdgz dwells upon the disturbance Of
International trade that would follow q
rupture between Italy and America.
ITALY TAINTED.
The RoydLiSt Gazette de France taunts
Italy upon her own glaring violation of in
ternational law from the invasion of the
pontifical states to the massacres in Ethio-
pia. 1t says: ut is curious to see states
which recognize no public law when their
own ambitions or interests are involved
hypocrltically invoke the law as soon as
they themselves are attacked"
The Journal des DebdtS says that Italy
has an undoubted right 10 demand from the
United States that an effort be made to
punish the men who lynched the Italians at
New Orleans. ut is natural that Italy finds
difficulty in admitting the distinction which
Secretary Blaine draws between central
and local powers, because she has cogni-
zance Of the federal power alone There
fore she can only apply TO the federal power
for redress Italy has not acted hastily.
She would have gained nothing by waiting
longer, especially in view of the customary
procedure of Washington diplomacy and
in view of the present conStitutioual non
possut1nus with which the Italian demands
have been metz

PITTsBURG. PA, April S.-Whatever of
Newcastle and Wheeling as to an attack on
Pittsburg in case of trouble be-

countrymen by the destruction of property
Two attempts to wreck the fast express on
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad were
detected in time to prevent loss
of life. A few minutes before the
New York express passed a narrow
cut near Grafton a track -wnlker disc )vered
several heavy pieces of iron wedged tightly
between the rails. An hour later the
Chicago express barely escaped disastrous
wreck near the same point by similar OBJ
struotion. A large depot and store building
on the Baltimore and Ohio at Constitution
was blown up with dynamite, completely
wrecking the buildings and causing heavy
loss. Ali the contents were destroyed. All
these crimes are charged to the Italians in
the neighborhood where they happened.

LONDON. April 3--rhe baccarat scandal
has forced the cabinet TO postpone its request
to parliament for grant to the Prince Of
Wales to enable him to wipe out his debts.
Nothing now will be heard of the proposed
grant until the next parliament meets, and
then IL would depend upon the composition

state autonomy enjoyed In the United States.
