WASHINGTON. May 5.-The follow
ing dispatch was sent by Secretary
Blaine yesterday:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE, WASHING.
TON, May 4, 1891.-Porter, American
Minister. Rome: A series OF state
ments addressed to the Marquis I'M
periali by the Marquis di Rudini. was
telegraphed from Rome yesterday and
was published by the Associated press
of the United States today. The only
part of the Marquis di Rudini's com
munication which this government de-
slres to notice is the one here quoted.
namely: Il have now before mo q note
addressed to you by Secretary Blaine,
dated March IA. Its perusal produces
most painful impression upon me.
l will not stop to lay stress upon the
lack OF conformity with diplomatic
usages displayed in making use, as
Mr. Blaine did not hesitate to do, OF a
portion OF telegram of mine COM
muuicated to him in strict confidence,

NEW YORK. May THE latest con-
tribution to presidential talk is the
following Washington special to the
New York Recorder:
distinguished democratic ex-sena-
tor from western state who recently
took dinner with Secretary Blaine. for
whom he has a strong friendship, says
that the secretary feels keenly the lord
ly air OF patronage pervading the re-
cent article in Mr.. Russell Harrison's
New York newspaper. which he does
not hesitate to say was, in his opinion,
sanctioned il not directly inspired. Mr..
Blaine intimated to this gentleman that
he felt he had given the administration
much more than he had received, and
resented being disciplined in this man
ner by the youthful scion Of would be
royalty. While he would not actually
seek the nomination at the hands of the
republican party at the next conven-
ton, Mr.. Blaine would not refuse it if
offered. On the contrary, he would
feel that twenty years of answering
loyalty on the part OF the republican
party to him had the first claim upon
him. and il nominated he would under
take the campaign and do the best he
could to secure party success on a reas-
enable platform. Asked to define a
reasonable platform. Mr. Blaine re-
piled: Moderate tariff reciprocity"

LINCOLN, May Judge Amasa
Cobb of Lincoln, chief justice of the
supreme court OF Nebraska, was in the
city last night attending the annual
meeting of the Loyal Legion.
IL have heard but very little COM
ment upon the decision handed down
in the Boyd case, :" said Judge Cobb in
reply to a question from Bee reporter.
You are aware of the fact, are you
not, that the decision has created a
great deal of COMMENT"
Il presume there has been consider
able talk about it " said Judge Cobb,
smiling pleasantly, ''but you would be
much more likely to hear free and
open comment upon the matter than l
would"
''Do you anticipate that the case will
be carried to the supreme court?'
''Oh. do not know as to that
have had but very little to say at any
time about the case outside OF court,
and in fact what said in the decision
was simply to concur in the opinion
prepared by Judge Norval."
"Did you ever have such a case, or
one similar to it, to deal with in your
experience as lawyer or judge?"
II never did. 1t was the first case
OF the kind ever had to deal with in
court. There was q case in Arkansas
and one in Connecticut that were SINH
lar in some respects, but not identical
by any means"
''Do you think there is any likelihood
OF the supreme court reversing the
decision?"
II would beg leave to be excused
from saving anything further upon the
case. We, as court, have said what
We thought about the matter, and now

what Boyd Thinks.

.-Sy&
LINCOLN, May 6.-Governor BOYD
was seen last evening at the Hotel Lin
coin. He was in his usual good spirits
and said that he was glad that the
supreme court had finally come to some
decision. The governor said:
II don't regret SO much about being
ousted from the position of governor
as do that a majority of the court has
declared that am not a citizen OF the
United States. believe with Judge
Maxwell in my opinion the ablest
judge on the bench. that am citizen
OF the United States, and of course it
goes without saying that l always in
tended to be such. A man who has
lived in this country since he was
child and been n resident and citizeq
OF this state for thirty-five years, and
who helped to frame the constitutional
provision now invoked to GUST him FROM
office, and who was a member of tho
first legislature that accepted the pros
visions OF the enabling act under which
the state was admitted into the union.
and who has done perhaps as much az
any other man in building up and do
veloping the resources of the state,
certainly entitled to citizenship. L,
say the least it is mere tech
nical construction of the law BY
n majority OF a partisan court
that deprives him of that citizen
ship. My greatest pride has always
been that | could say that / was an
American citizen ana do not propose
to let this matter rest here, but if the
law will so permit | will carry this
case to the supreme court OF the United
States for the purpose of having
declaration OF what constitutes citizen
ship OF the United States by the highest
tribunal in the land. | believe that
court will give different construction
to the law than that given by major
ity of the supreme court of Nebraska.
AT least | have been so advised by as
able counsel as there is in this country.
shall do this. not for the purpose OF
regaining the Office of governor, for
that office | do not care, but as before
stated. l wish to establish my citizen
ship. l regret that the decision of to-
day was not rendered long ago It
would nave saved me from many an
unjust and undeserved criticism. The
people as we'll as the newspapers that
have accused me of making u corrupt
bargain with the supreme court it seems
to me should now have the firmness 10
give me the credit of having acted hon.
estly and conscientiously in the dis
charge OF my official duties"
Governor Thayer was seen. but he
was too excited and busy almost to
talk. He declares. however. that ac-
cording TO the laws of the state he is
the only person who can hold the Office
OF governor. He believes the decision
OF the supreme court to be the only
right and just one, us Boyd, being an
alien by his own confession, has no
right to the Office. That under such
circumstances the letter OF the statutes
must be followed, to wit the old gov
ernor holds over.

WASHINGTON, May 5.--Some OF the
men in congress who are lingering in
Washington have begun to talk OF our
affair with Italy in no unmistakable
terms. Senator Cullom OF Illinois
said today:
al can see no reason why we should
wait to have Minister Porter kicked
out or to leave him at Rome as stand
ing invitation for further snubs. Rud-
lnl has shown an offensiveness and
arrogance which makes it our duty as
matter OF dignity to withdraw further
relations with him. Some time
ago one OF his ministers made the
assertion that if our constitu-
ton did not allow the presen,
| difficulty to be settled in the way he
wished we would have to change our
constitution. The recent instructions
OF Rudini disclosed by the Italian
green book, are in the same line of
offensive criticism OF our constitution.
l don't believe it wise or dignified to
carry on any further parley with the
Italian government"
This is the view taken by a number
OF public men here, and it is likely to
move the state department towards a
serious consideration OF the question
OF recalling Minister Porter or giving
him leave OF absence until the con-
troversy is settled. Unofficial letters
received from Mr.. Porter indicate that
he does not like the embarrassing posi-
ton in which he has been left by the
severing of diplomatic relations at
Washington.

DURING the past year there have
been, in round numbers. S3, 900 people
wounded and 1000 killed by the rail-
roads in the United States. The rail-
road managers say that, compared with
the number of people transported. it
Is very small percentage. True, but
there have been as many killed and
wounded as would have resulted from
a summer campaign with an army Of
10000 on one side, in which as many
as ten pitched battles have been
fought. That would be very consid-
cradle OF a sensation from a newsman's
standpoint

The cruel persecution which the
car of Russia is waging against
the Jews is disappointing to those who
had begun to hope that this autocrat
was going to become an enlightened
ruler. Instead of this. he is placing
himself with such blind despots as
Louis the 14th, who in bigoted zeal for
creed inflicted an irreparable blow
on the strength of his kingdom. We
suspect however that the car has not
even the poor excuse of the fanatic,
but Is influenced solely by mistaken
view of state policy.

Comment on the Nebraska Gubernnto-
rial Case.

CHICAGO, May 7.-Commenting on
the discision OF the supreme court in
the case OF Hon. James f. Boyd, the
journal (republican) says: Governor
Boyd did some excellent things while
his brief term OF Office lasted. His
greatest service to law and order was
his veto of the radical railroad legisla-
ton against railroads which was at
tempted by the folly and ignorance OF
the legislature. His acts while in office
will stand. The fact the he was not
lawfully elected does not invalidate
what he did.
The Post (democratic) says: The
judgment of the supreme court of Ne
braska by which James f. BOYD is
ousted from the office of governor,
serves the extremely useful purpose of
spreading some very much needed en-
llghtment on the subject of naturaliza-
ton and citizenship. Quite as instruc-
tive from every point of view, is the
manner in which the supreme courts
judgment OF custer was put into effect.

deputy sheriff who found Mr. Boyd at his
desk exercising the functions OF COVER
nor. and served the process. Mr.. Boyd
listened quietly and at once replied:
IL recognize the supremacy OF the law
and am ready to turn the Office over to
my successor" and so the revolution"
ends. We commend this peaceful
termination of conflict enlisting the
interests and passions of a whole com
munity to the pessimistic few who
doubt that the law is still sovereign
over peaceful and peace loving
people.
The News Independent republican,
says: After thinking about it for some
four months, during which time Gov
ernor has been in possession and dis
charged the duties of his Office the able
supreme court of Nebraska has at
length guessed that Mr.. Boyd is ineli-
gible to the gubernatorial chair and
must vacate. This will put General
Thayer in possession OF the office. In
view OF the generals advanced age it
Is very fortunate that the court sue
ceeded in getting its judicial mind to
operate so soon upon the question
raised.

OURS Is a government OF law, and its
liberty is the noblest freedom of the
earth because it is conserved by law.
Such a government has no place and
no use for the vicious idler, the brutal
pauper or the fugitive criminal from
Europe. and the time has come when
the law must assert its mastery over
the hundreds Of thousands Of lawless
immigrants in our midst. In this eff
fort every honest American working
man, whether native born or natural
tied should heartily join. American
workingmen are the sovereigns Of the

priceless liberty We enjoy, and they
are most of all interested in resolutely
maintaining the liberty of law.

Striving for Statehood,

WASHINGTON. May prom the
congressional delegates and other
prominent citizens OF Arizona and Utah
it is learned that preparations are being
made to secure statehood for these ter
ritories at the approaching session OF
congress. and it is expected that tori
torial government for Alaska and prob
ably statehood for Oklahoma will come
up at the same time. The admission
Of Idaho and Wyoming at the hands OF
the last congress with not a very large
population and the well known position
of President Harrison OF granting
statehood to the territories which can
gain advantages by state laws, are the
grounds OF encouragement for taking
these steps at this time. The liberals
and republicans of Utah. it is stated,
will now take the lead for statehood
for that territory. Heretofore they
have opposed it because they feared
the Mormons under state law would
run things in their old ways. but the
anti-Mormon laws which were engrafted
by congress into the constitution OF
Idaho are reported to work so well that
the gentiles of Utah are now willing
to risk them in laws which would give
them statehood.
