faVa and his government is not regarded
as q diplomatic rupture. 1t is merely the
first step towards such rupture.
GROWING AT UNCLE SAM.
Political circles here fully indorse the
| action of the Italian Government. News
papers of this city pronounce themselves
very strongly against the action of the
United States Government.
Influential Italians advise the Italian
| Government to send a circular note to
friendly powers, denouncing the United
States as being confessedly unable to in
sure justice in the United States, and as
impotent to fulfill the duties of civil gov
ernment. Other prominent Italians sug-
gest that the Italian Government should
break off all negotiations with the Gov
ernment at Washington, and that it
( should i'll the future, so far as the New
Orleans lynchings are concerned, deal
directly with the State of Louisiana, and
that the latter'S Government should be
called TO account for the killing of Italian
prisoners.
MINISTER PORTER AND sIGNoR DARCo.
United States Minister Porter called
to see Marquis Di REdini, the Italian
Premier, who, however, was absent from
the city.
Mr.. Porter then saw the Under Secre-
tary of Foreign Affairs. Signor Darco.
The United States Minister expressed re-
=
ment had thought fit to recall Baron
/ taya, and, generally speaking, thought
the United States Government would not
deny any request of the Italian Govern
ment II there were reason and fairness in
such demands. Porter also promised to
place before the United States Govern
ment at Washington the substance of the
| conversation which took place between
himself and Signor Darco
incidentally, Porter also suggested that
| the Italian Government should wait be-
fore taking further action, in hope that q
satisfactory answer might be received
from Washington
Before Mr, Porter left Signor Dorco's
office the latter said: Suppose dozen
American citizens were murdered in an
Italian city, and we pleaded impotence to
punish the murderers because the CITY in
which the murders occurred enioyed
an autonomous form of government.
what opinion would you, in the United
states, and what opinion would the civ
iilzed world at large have in regard to our
plea?'
Porter thereupon tried to make clear to
1 Darco the relations Of the Federal Gov
ernment to the individual States, as fixed
by the Constitution.
But Darco was not satisfied, and replied
with heat: I'VE have nothing to do with
your Constitution. If it is found want
ing, you must amend it. You know It is
/ no Constitution worthy Of free, civilized
country If it does not insure punishment
! for crime and protection for the weak'
! Late in the day Baron Fava sent a
/ cablegram to the Marquis Di Rudini, stat
/ that he had seen President Harrison and
there was an Improvement in the outlook
/ of affairs.

MORE NEWSPAPER TALK.

The clerical paper, Voce Della Te5rta,
! holds that the recall of Baron Fava will

| platonic protest due to the pressure upon
the Italian Government from within,
meaning the influence Of secret societies.
AMERICAS FRIEND.
In an interview to-day a prominent
official of the Foreign Office said: ''Since
Mr.. POrter'S request for delay it is to be
hoped the American press. having re-
ceiyed precise information as TO the situa-
ton, will endeavOr to contribute to the
solution of the problem the same equa-
nimity shown by the Italian Journals.
Italy is sincere friend Of America and /
hope for a settlement in accordance with
justice and equity. King Humbert's
representative could not, however. be
allowed to quietly look on while guilty
persons were allowed to go unpublished
simply because the United States Govern
ment declined to insure their being
brought to trial.
