WHY FAVA WAS RECALAEp.
The New Orleans Lynchinx Discussed In
tho italian Chamber.

tno Atouoo CuSMO0Is
ROME. May i5.-The Marquis di
Rudini in the chamber of deputies
Thursday discussed the New Orleans
affair, and said it was simply
legal question
Sig. Puintieri, after acknowledging
what he termed the strict legality Of
Premier di Rudini's action in the dis
moderate character of his demands,
asked whether, in view of the verdict
of the New Orleans grand jury, it
would not be more dignified to renounce
the matter and leave the responsibility
for the lynchings on those tolerating
them
Sig. Cavelletto expressed his regret at
the rupture in the relations between
the United States and Italy. He
thought that little should be said about
the affair as it was a very delicate mat
ter. He begged Premier di Rudini to use
every endeavor to bring about a settle
ment of tho dispute, which he said
ought not to be allowed to linger.
Premir di Rudini said exaggerated i'm
portance ought not to be given to
the New Orleans affair, nor a ques-
ton essentially judicial converted into
one of national dignity. The recall of
Baron Fava was protest against
the conduct Of the United States
government in declaring itself ire
sponsible in the matter. The ques-
ton seemed TO be entering a
new phase. Judicial proceedings had
been commenced against the lynchers, :"
continued the premier, ''but cannot
say to wha. extent the proceedings are
serious Nevertheless I am certain
that Europe approves our sction. Our
consul ut New Orleans has been re-
called partly because the government
wishes to obtain the fullest informa-
ton in regard TO the matter, and partly
because we fear that some Of the COM
munications which the consul pub
hshed or permitted to be published
were inopportune."
Replying to . question relating to the
New Orleans grand jury and Sig.
Corte, the Italian consul at New Or
leans. Premier di Rudini added that he
had learned through the newspapers Of
the incident regarding the consul II
the news were true the matter would
of itself suffice to prove the necessity of
the recall Of Consul Corte. The dis
cussion was then adjourned.
