What the London Press say.

LONDON, April 2.-The telegram says: 1T
could scarcely appear practical to Italy to be
told it was uncertain whether the murdered
men are Italians whilst they were lynched and
the lynching palliated on the ground that they
were members Of an Italian secret society. The
contrast between the savage precipitancy of the
siayers, the complacency of the municipal au-
thorites of New Orleans, and the deliberate
sbeptlclSm of Blaine might well have moved a
less high spirited nation than Italy to reSolute
measures. We are deeply grieved TO declare
mat the opinion Of the civilized world ranges
Itself against America. 1t is scarcely wise for
American papers to buster. The Italian navy
Is III q condition of the highest efficiency. The
nope OF speedy and equitable adjustment of
THIS perllous quarrel lies with the vast body of
honorable ana upright e cling prevailing in the
republic. There is no prospect that King Hum
pert VIII abate his just demands"
The Stdn6drd isays: Marquis di Rudini has
every right to insist that the sins of the Malta
have nothing to do with the case President
Harrson's ministers appear to have thought
tnab formal expression of regret would suffice,
t out dIaIy Is the last country from which such
tame compliance could be expected. Still there
Is no occasion for alarm. Abundant reasons exist
financial, political and stratagetical-why
Italy should not hurl herself against America.
Baron Fava'S ultlmatum is designed to bring
nome to the federal authorities the unsatsfac-
tory character of their attitude. 1t is unfortun-
ate OF President Harrison's advisers that they
are compelled to suffer for errors for which
they are not primarily responsible. King Hum
pert Is doing service to the world at large in
thus drawing attention to the defect in the
American constitution
The Chronicle says: Baron Faya is not en-
Titled to fix the day and hour OF redress If he
can disregard the American constitution he
must not ignore American geography but must
allow reasonable time for inquiries We can
scarcely believe the Washington government
Will acquleSe in the view that il is impotent to
zeal with the question, especially as The party
II! ia power successfully asserted the authority of
the union over all the states at the time of the
civil war and is pledged to make federal power
supreme on all international questions. It is
plausible TO believe that MARQUIS di Rudini is
yielding 10 popular clamor. The rupture is re-
gretable, though war unlikely But what If
America should reply to Baron Fava's malice
by prohibiting Italian tmmigration?r
The Standard says Secretary Blaines note
onerS little prospect of a speedy settlement If
not actually defiant the note is by no means
conclIlatory. His arguments are plausible
enough but they leave untouched Italy's main
contention.
the Rome correspondent of the Times saws:
Inc Italian ministry recognizes it is impossi-
PIE lot the American government to institute
1uQlclal proceedings in Louisiana. but it is
obliged to protest formally against the lynch
lag. There is no disposition to increase the diff
nculuss OF the American government. Conf
dence is felt that friendly relations will be re-
newed''
The Pan -UaH Gazette this afternoon saws.
The incident will not add to the reputation of
the United States 1t has revealed weak
place IN the American constitution with all its
pretensonS. Mr.. Blaine would be glad enough
perhaps, to depose King LYNCH but Louisiana
IS OF different opinion. The foreign elements
IN the United States give them some security,
as well as placing them in some danger 1t is
improbable that Italy will; attack the United
States when, like other,fountries she has
given SO many hostages TO the United States.'
