RUDINI BULLHEADED.
He Insists That tho Lynchers Shall Be
Punished,

He Insists That the iLynchers Shall Be
Punished.
ROME, April 2.-In a long interview with
Marquis di Rudini, Minister Porter stated
that the United States government is will
ing to materially compensate the families of
the New Orleans victims, and that it is
impossible for the Washington government
to ulace the lynchers on trial, that being
matter for the grand jury in New Orleans
to decide. The premier insisted that Italy's
dignity demanded that that the culprlts
should be punished.
All endeavors to obtain an opinion upon
the present crisis between the United States
and Italy of Minister Porter have proved
futile Minister Porter declares that the
rules of international commity preclude
the expression of an opinion by minister
placed in the position that Minister Porter
is now placed in. It is learned, however,
from reliable sources that the United States
minister has done much to pacify the Italian
government, and that he has won over to
his way of thinking other ministers, several
of whom have been trying to induce the
Italian premier TO be less hasty.
WAR NOT EXPECTED.
The idea of war is secuted here in diplo-
matte and government circles. Even Baron
Fava's final withdrawal is not decided upon.
1t is said that even if Baron Faya is with
drawn it will be done only as the most
forcible protest known to diplomacy, and
not as forerunner of a conflict between
the United States and Italy. The Italian
cabinet ministers are in receipt Of a large
number Of cablegrams and letters from
prominent Italians in New York city
urging moderation upon the Italian govern
ment in its treatment of the New Orleans
trouble.
RUDINI's REPLY TO BLAINE.
Premier Rudini to-day telegraphe1 to
MARQUIS Imperiali, secretary of the lega-
tion at Washington, instructing him to
hand a message TO Secretary Blaine. The

An Itinerary Mapped Out Which the
President Approves.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-That President
Harrison does not believe that the Italian
imbroglio will take serious turn is evi-
denced by the fact that he is making ar
rangements for his trip to the south and
west during the present month. George w.
Boyd, assis tant general passenger agent of
the Pennsylvania railroad who will have
general charge of tue trip, had conference
with the President this morning. and sub
mitted an outline of an itinerary covering a
period of four weeks. beginning
April 16. IG met with the Presidents
approval. Visits are to be made to the
principal cities in Virginia, Georgia, Ten
nessee, Arkansas, Texas, Arizona, New
Mexico and California, and it is probable
that the Washington party will not stop in
any other southern stats than these men
toned. New Orleans is not inclCded in the
route. The party will number about ten
persons
HALFoRD'S STATEMENT.
The following statement was made by
Private Secretary Halford this afternoon in
regard to the contemplated trip to the west
"The President has not fully determined yet
whether or not he will 90 west, but pending
his final decision he has adopted a pro-
visional schedule for the route that he will
take in case he should 60. Unless matters
intervene to prevent, he and his party,
which has not yet been made up. will leave
here Tuesday morning, April IA, and will
travel southwark.

Five Hundred Mountaineers From
Montana Ready for War.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-Secretary Blaine
was at the department Of state this MORN
ing, transacted routine business and pre-
pared to receive the usual Thursday diplo-
matic visitors. There was nothing new in
the Italian situation. Baron Fava had not
yet made application for his passport nor
had the Marquis Imperiali ackno wledged
the receipt Of Secretary Blaine's letter,
which was sent him yesterday evening.
Among the first callers on the secretary
were the British minister. Sir Julian
Pauncefote and Sir Charles Tupper of the
Dominion Of Canada, who talked with the
secretary a few hours, presumably about
the seal fisheries, reciprocity and other
matters foremost in the minds Of Can
adams.
AN OFFER OF VOLUNTEERS.
The spirit Of war has invaded the far
west, and the first offer of volunteers for
service in case of trouble with Italy came
to hand at the war department to-day in
the shape of the following telegram, re-
ceived by Acting Secretary Grant:
BOULDER, MONT, April 2, 1891.
TheHSecretdrv of WGT:
We hereby tender you 500 mountaineers from

peared in the American. In the afternoon

Die relations between the two governmsts
II Italy does not intend TO carry the matter
TO the last extremity.
WHAT THE MESSAGE INDICATES.
The tone Of the message would indicate
tnat tie representations Of the attitude Of
eae United States made to the Marquis I'm
periail, and the explanations of the status
OF affairs which it is presumed Minister
forter made to the Italian foreign office, had
been well received by the Italian ministry
and that Italy was disposed to await the
regular and orderly procedure of the
1udlcial institutions Of this country, 1t was
suggested in diplomatic circles that the seri.
business Of the affair had perhaps been in
creased by misunderstanding on the part
OF the Italian diplomatic authorities, and
that they had possibly, in the
nrst instance, confounded punish
ment and "proseention," and had
come to the erroneous conclusion that
there was no intention on the part of the
American authorities to even bring the
matter before the regular tribunals having
oognizance of the affair, and afford the
subjects Of Italy the benefits of our criminal
system. 1t Is snow Thought that
should affairs take no Unforeseen and
untoward turn the present excitement will
subslde, aud that there is q possibility of
harmonious relations being again restored
without the occurrence of anything more
serious than the embarrassment and fric-
tion due to the fact that there had been at
least only partial severance OF friendly re-
lations between the two governments.
WITTY SENATOR SANDERS.
Witty Senator Sanders said to-day when
asked how the Italians could land an army
on our shores, "Why, easily enough under
our immigration lawsn This occasioned an
inquiry at the treasury department as to
whether any orders had been issued since
the New Orleans affair requiring customs
officers to exercise especial strictness as to
Italians in the administration of the immi-
grafton law. 1t was stated at the
treasury that no such order
had been issued, but that Secretary Foster,
believing that there was no appropriation
for the new immigration bureau which the
late congress attempted to create had taken
had personally directed the strict enforce
ment Of the new law, which aims to keep
out criminals, paupers and the diseased
