WASHINGTON. D. c.. Mar 31-lSpecial J.
The recall Of the Italian Minister created a
most profound sensation here and nothing
else Is talked Of His demand for passports
surprised even the State Department officials
and others of the administration. In official,
circles the opinion prevailed that the Italian
Government had decided to await the delb-
erate action Of this Government. Secretary
Blaine had carefully explained TO the Italian
Minister. and through him to his
Government. the relations existing here be-
tween Federal and State powers, and had
shown that under our system the Federal
Government was powerless to take any action
at present He further explained that in due
time there would no doubt be an adjust
ment Of affairs. Baron Faya himself
seemed % acQuiesce IN the force of
this explanation iu so far a. the lack OF Fed
eral power was concerned. lle did forward 20
his Government Secretary Banes eXplana-
tl0n together with other documents bearing
upon the case. In his further intercourse
with thc Stat" Department ho gave mo- intlma-
tion of the purpose on the part of his Govern
ment 20 take summary action Hence the
establishment created by his presentation Of
the note OF the King of Italy demanding his
recall.
