Fava's Note to Blaine.

ROME, April 1.-The tenor OF Baron
Fava's note to Mr.. Blaine is that what
Italy asked and still asks is the federal
governments guarantee that regular le-
gal proceedings will be taken against
the culprits in the New Orleans lynch
ing and that the federal government
will admit, in principle, its obligation
to pay an indemnity to the families OF
the victims.
The note adds that Italy cannot be
and is not called upon to discuss Amer
lean Institutions but must urge upon
the federal government the observation
of the principles OF international law.
Italy hopes that the federal govern
ment will appreciate the obligation in
cumbent upon it as government ora
civilized country to accede to ltaly's
just demands. If this should not be the
case, the kings minister must, by or
der of his government, declare that he
quits post where his legitimate action
as the kings representative has proved
notifications. 1t is believed that unless
Baron Fava receives favorable reply
within a week he will leave Washing
ton for this city.

Newspaper Opinions.

ATLANTA, Ca, April 1.-The Con-
stitution will say tomorrow that 1t was
Mr.. Blaine's duty to inform the Italian
minister first, that the Malta assassins'
were not executed because they were
Italians but because they were profess
sional murderers; and second, that the
United States government has and can
have no jurisdiction in calling the exc
cutioners of the assassins to account.
The Italian government ought to be-
told even now that the United States
government proposes to do nothing be-
cause it can do nothing: that the Amer
lean people strongly sympathize with
the spirit and the motive that led to
the execution OF the Malta assassins;
and that the only way for the Italian
government to remedy matters is to re-
call it's expatriated assasslns with its
minister.
CHATTANOOGA, April 1.-The Times
says the people of the United States de-
mand as with one voice that the authOri-
ties at Washington not only assume, but

CHARLESTON, S. c., April 1.-The
News and Courier says Uncle Sam
should be on the alert and the govern
ment at Washington should not apollo
gize too much.
COLUMBUS, Ca, April 1.-The En-
quirer-Sun says there should be no vac
illation on the part of the admihistra-
ton. Italy's action can only be re-
garded as menace OF war and this gov
eminent should meet it with dignity
and courage.

NEW YORK, April Freight Traf.
fic Manger J. S. Leeds of the Missouri
Pacific, arrived from the west yester-
day, called here by Vice President S.
H. b. Clark to explain what the cause
was for manipulation of sugar rates.
The first thing that Mr.. Leeds did
after getting here was to go to the
Western Union building and submit to
a severe cross examination by his supe-
riors, the result of which, it is said.
convinced Mr.. Gould that the blame did
not rest with the Missouri Pacific alone.
General Freight Agent Logan, who is
charged with issuing the freight, was
also examined. He appeared at the
conference held in the Office of Mr.. Pal
mer, the agent of the refiners in Brook
lyn, who routes all the sugar. Mr.. Pal-
mer is said to be a very close person.
and no evidence that any road cut the
rate would be likely to escape through

Foreign Opinions.

LONDON, April 1.-The st. James
Gazette commenting on the recall OF
Baron Fava says:
IF Italy feels disposed to send her
ironclads to the Mississippi the Ameri-
cans have no ships which could face the
Lepanto and Duilo for forty minutes.
The withdrawal of the ambassador is
the next thing to declaration OF war,
and was evidently meant to convey to
the United States the information that
Italy will not be trifled with"
The Star saws: "The United States
are in an extremely difficult position,
though the lynching at New Orleans
was iustifable. The withdrawal OF
Baron Fava is the easiest solution OF
the problem"
The Globe thinks that the United
States has been taught vigorous les
son in diplomacy. "They must learn
that they cannot ignore old world
ideas"

commodore namsey.s vp,n,on.

WASHINGTON, April Army anf
navy officers talked great deal this
morning about the action of the Italian
government yesterday. They did not
apprehend war. but nevertheless the
chance of an unfavOrable turn in the ne
gOtiation which might lead to the unin-
yiting appearance OF the Italian feet in
our harbOrs was not lost sight OF. Com
modore Ramsay, in charge of the navi-
gaLion bureau of the navy was asked
this morning what was the condition of
our naval defenses. He said, How
many battle ships do you suppose we
have-just One-the double turreted
monitor Miantonomak now at the
New York navy yard and she is not
completed. But one Of her turrets Is
equipped with guns. However by
pressing forward we might finish her
in a month. The old monitors which
fought during the late war would be OF
little value against the powerful battle
ships of European navies. The guns
carried by these vessels could send a
projectile through one side and out of
the other side of any turret of the mon
itor fleet, which now lies below Rich
mond on the James river. We are
building to battle ships, but many
months will be required in which to
complete them and many more to arm
and plate them with armor. The arm
or has not yet been rolled. 1t is idle to
talk of building navy in few months.
The views set out by Senator Ingalls, in
his naval article are certainly not be-
lieved by himself. Our new cruisers,
about dozen in number, would be OF
service and would be fought for all that
they are worth. But they were
never intended to stand before armored
battle ships or against anything else
than such unarmored vessels as their
own class. They would however be USE
full to destroy the lines of war commu-
nication by which a foreign naval force
on our coast must receive their coal and
supplies"
In conclusion Commodore Ramsey
said he did not feel that New York was
in immediate danger even in the event
of war. The heavy draft Italian war.
ships could not successfully lombard
the city without entering the harbol
and they were not likely to enter the
harbor because aside from the perils o.
navigation certain preparations could
speedily be made to render the water
untenable for them.

Another Opinion of 1t.

NEW YORK, April IA Washing
ton special to the Commercial Adver-
tiser says:
The situation of affairs between the
United States and Italy is considered
grave. The two nations are no longer
friendly, and all diplomatic relations
are actually broken off. The situation
is one which is perfectly familiar to per-
sons schooled in diplomacy. The state
department is not anxious to create
more excitement than necessary, and
officials are allowing the seekers for in
formation to draw their own differences
from bare facts which cannot be biddenl
but grave apprehension is felt in the
White House and the state department..
Foreign Minister De Rudini is COM
PEELED to his course by the pressure OF
popular sentiment. If he acted earnest
ly and means to attach full Importance
to his own action the matter is very
likely to result sooner or later In an
armed collision.
Experienced diplomats state that the
Italian government has made most
astonishing blunder from diplomatic
point of view and has openly insulted
the United States by the assumption
that the administration or national
government was not sincere in its dec
larations concerning the killing OF the
Italians at New Orleans. The opinion
is expressed that Prime Minister DeRu.
DIM has been driven to his last action
by the taunts of the Crispi faction, who
accused the new minister of want oil
courage to protect the citizens OF Italy.

Rome Tranquil.

ROME, April LIN official circles
here it is stated that Baron Fava, the
Italian minister at Washington, has
not cabled anything decisive to his gov
eminent in regard to his recall.
The American minister here, Mr.. A.
G. Porter, yesterday requested the Ital-
ian government to be patient for few
days, explaining in detail the obstacles
existing in the United States in the
way of speedy settlement OF the aues-
tions involved by the New Orleans
lynching.
The rumors circulated in the United
States to the effect that number oil
Americans are detained in custody here
as hostages for the future treatment OF
Italians now in the United States are
classed as poissons d'Avril, April Fools
day Jokes, of very bad taste. Public
opinion here awaits the issue of the ne,
gotiations between the United States and
Italy in most tranquil frame OF mind.

1t is not the pleasantest task imag-
Unable to discuss subject with one
who thinks he knows what he is talk
ing about, but who, in almost every
line of his argument, exhibits sublime
ignorance not to say downright stupi-
dity, and has not the wisdom to desist
the gnawing passion for ''more worlds
to conquer" But editors are not un-
like people in other walks of life, and
many times are called upon to repeat
things just for the accommodation of
others. 1t was hoped, after Rev. Mr..
Overn had his say a few days ago, that
he had sufficiently aired his side of
the "Secret Order" question to sub
side; but it seems that the very con-
servative, and what we supposed to be
gentlemanly reply, made by the FREE
PRESS to his remarks, was not receiv-
ed in the true Christian spirit in which
it was given, hence his third edition."
AS this shall close the controversy, the
reader will be indulgent.
The Reverend gentleman asks sever
al questions as PREDATORY to his vol
luminous quotations from the Odd
Fellows pocket manuel, and as he has
answered them himself, in the mega
tive, it will hardly be necessary for us
to discuss them at length.
"You now pretend that secret or
ders are not religious societies. says
Mr.. Overn, but, "did you not, after
giving Webster's definition of true
Christianity say: This is precisely what
Odd-Fellow teaches? and is not true
Christianity religion?" he asks.
While true Christianity is a religion.
all who preach it are not we are sorry
to say, true Christians. And while
Odd-Fellowship teaches Christianity.
it is not, neither does it follow that
because of this it should be, religious
society. The editor of the FREE
PRESS has not contradicted himselfin in
a single instance in discussing this
matter, Mr.. Overn to the contrary
Notwithstanding. Every principle of
Odd-Fellowship is in conformity with
