Wa asked by this friend how he
felt toward the United States at this
moment The prime minister's reply
was that he harbored none but the
most friendly sentiments toward the
United States government, aud these
had not really been disturbed by the
action which he felt called upon Ia take
an the representative Of the Italian peo-
pie upon being officially made acquaint-
al with the New Orleans affair and
the position which Blaine was
obliged 70 take in the matter. He said
that he had no intention Of pushing any
demands, and was content with having
taken one positive step as protest
against what he was led To be-
lieve at the time was neglect
on the part of the United States
Italian citizens in America under the
provisions OF tee treaty. He expressed
himself as aware that TO do anything
more at this iuncturc would be grave
error on MS part, as he has perfect con-
idencc in the sincerity and justice OF
the United States government Finally
he said:

o'MALLEY's RETURN.
NEW ORLEANS, April 4.-The feeling
against Detective O'Malley is intense.
and threats against him have been fire.
qucntly made by many since his arrival
in town. The news that he had sur
rendered to the officers of the law
spread rapidly, and call for a meeting
was issued. The meeting was held in
a saloon on Common street, and Mt il
the question of hanging OMalley was
taken up. and some favored stringing
him up to the nearest lamp-post. Sober
Judgment prevailed. however, and after
q spirited discussion 1t was resolved to
allow the law to take its course, and if
the outcome of the trial was not what
the people required then summary ven
geance would be melted out.
O'Mollcy said Friday evening that
when he got ready TO give his story to
the public il would cause a number of
people now joining in the cry against
him to hide behind their doors. AS to
the parish prison affair he said:
Those men were innocent aud the people
made q big mistake. for which hope they will
properly apologize 10 the widows and orphans
hereafter. Each one OF the nineteen men made
q statement 10 me, which Investigated and re-
ported upon. found that oil OF them told the
truth with one exception. Polietz. All this
talk about suhorning witnesses and bribing
jurors Is untrue. You heard the witnesses and.
so help me God. l never approached any OF
them with reference TO what testimony they
were 10 Give The closest the grand jury has
got to me is TO fndict me upon matters that
happened eight years ago"
LONDON. April A report prevails
in political clubs that Lord Salisbury,
on the instigation of Marquis di Rudini,
will offer to mediate for the adj
justment of the difference between
Italy and the United States. A high
foreign Office official, when asked to
state the views of the government,
said the question had not been dis
cussed. He admitted that communi-
cation had been sent to Sir Julian
Pauncefote to report on the question,
especially as affecting the position of
British objects.
