The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1891-03-24


United States and of the several
states in their due and orderly admin
istrstion. The president deeply regrets
that the citizens of New Orleans
should have so disparaged the purity
and adequacy of their own judicial
tribunals IS to transfer to the passion
ate judgment of mob a question that
should have been adjudicated dispas-
sionatel and by settled rules of law.
The government of the United States
must give to the subjects of friendly
powers that security which il demands
for our own citizens when temporarily
under foreign jurisdiction. 1t is the
hope of the president that you will
cooperate with him in maintaining
the obligations of the United States
toward the Italian subjects who may
be within the perils of the present ex-
element, that further bloodshed and
violence may be prevented and that
all offenders against the Jaw may be
promptly to justice"
Just what steps, if any, will be
taken by the president beyond the
mere disapproval of mob violence, as
evidenced by the tone of Secretary
Blaine's dispatches to Gov. Nichols,
cannot be ascertained tonight. Nei-
ther Secretary Blaine nor Baron Fava
the Italian minister, could be found
tonight at their homes, and at the
Italian legation absolute reticeDce on
the subject was preserved. Among
congressman end diplomats who have
given such matters some attention, it
is not thought that the massacre Ct
the several italian subjects can be-
come matter of international con-
sideration or complication between |
italy and the United States. The
men, it is said, were not murdered a.
Italians, and the only leparation that
can be obtained is possibly damages |
by the wives or relatives of the dead |
Italian subjects from the municipal
government of New ORLEANS, for not
protecting the persons of individuals
.aliens-who, at the time tLev met |
their death were temporarily in the
custody of the municipal authorities
of that city. Great fear is felt here by |
former residents of New Orleens, now
in Washington, that the race troubles
are not at and end there yet, and it |
is freely predicted that at the first
overt act on the part of the Sicilians,
the Italian quarter will be sacked. |
The police hate the Italians, and
would be of no use in supPressing an
outbreak against them. The Italians
and all the strange mass of people |
from foreign Mediterranean seaports
which is so large en- element of the
foreign quarter of New Orleans, who |
are commonly known as "Dagoes,
are all armed and will fight like wild
cats with that strange fury that upon
occasions characterize mobs of the
viii r Sc an s sRlTditih 1tg5E and frigbts
come. The meddling of the Italian
Consul and his threats have greatly |
the sentiment against the
whole race. The Italian priests are
peacemskers. but are powerless. The
next fortnight is full ofperil. Mayor
Shakespeare, his secretary and six
councilmen, they say, are marked for
the stilletto or bullet.
The telegram which Secretary
Blaine sent to Gov. Nichols was the
result conference between the presi-
dent and the secretary shout o'clock
this afternoon, Baron Favs, the Ital-
ian minister, having previously |
called on Secretary Blaine aud
protested against the kill
ng of his countrymen, demanding at
the same time protection for all other
Italians in New Orleans.
