Baron Fava's Withdrawal Is More q
Personal Matter Than
Anything Else.

Baron Fava's Withdrawal.

WASHINGTON. April 1.-The impression
is deepening in diplomatic circles that
there is a decidedly personal aspect to
the withdrawal of Baron Fava. It is
learned that last year Carleton, United
States consul at Palarino, made a formal
report to the secretary of state upon the
subject of brigandage in Italy. He de-
scribed the number Of cases of outrage
ous treatment of foreign citizens-Amer-
leans included-by italian banditti, and
then proceeded to score the italian gov
eminent deeply for it's failure to sup
press these red-handed criminals and to
defend foreigners in Italy. This report
was published in this country in a much
diluted form and aroused the indignation
of Baron Fava, the italian minister. He
promptly notified his government of
the nature of the report and an
nounced his determination to secure
the consurs recall. In Secretary
Blaine's absence, he was able to do this.
Blaine was much displeased at the action
that had been taken, but it was too late
to recall the departments decision. Con-
sequently the relations between the sec-
rotary aud baron became somewhat less
pleasant than they had been and, accord
ing to some gossip that is floating about
the state department., by some means not
exactly described, but we'll known in the
science of diplomacy, the italian govern
ment came to understand that a repre-
sentative on more cordial terms with
prominent United States officials might
obtain more favors for his government.
Favors we're much in demand IN Italy,
which had been sadly pinched by the
provisions of the ironclad Mckinley tar
if act, and the belief was entertained
(based on the turpentine customs) that
concessions could be arranged by the OK
ecutive branches of the two governments,
irrespective of legislation. So the ba-
ron's usefulness in the United States had
been Notwithstanding to state de-
partment gossip-and an opportunity was
looked for when the experiment of a q
representative might be tried.

THE TROY FIGHT.
Dixon Defeats Mccarthy in the Twenty
Second Round.

Dixon Defeats Mccarthy in the Twenty
Second Round.
Troy, N. Y, March 31.-The great
glove contest between Cal Mccarthy of
Jersey City and Geo. Dixon of Boston
created the greatest kind of a stir in this
city tonight. The streets we're crowded to
their utmost capacity in the vicinity of
the rink, in which the fight took place.
Special trains came in from every direc-
ton and the room was filled an hour
before the time appointed for starting
the contestants on their scientific mis-
sion. Betting was free, but the odds
were all on Dixon. It is thought that
fully $25,00O must have changed hands on
the result. In the twenty-second round
Dixon forced the fighting and knocked
Mccarthy down as fast as he got up until
he was completely exhausted. At the
call Of time the referee declared Dixon
the winner. Six ounce gloves were
used.

Quickly PODular.

In the book entitled Famous English
Authors of the Nineteenth Century,"
Mrs. Sarah X. Bolton gives some facts in
regard to the instant popularity OF the
poem "Marnion," by Sir Walter Scott.
In less than a month after "Marmion"
was published the first edition Of 1900
copies was sold. 1t went rapidly through
many editions. The people read and re-
read it. The following story told by Hut
ton is not at all improbable:
Two strangers met on q dark night in
London. Both were repeating the last
lines of the account Of Flodden Field.
One man exclaimed "Charsc, Chester,
charger when suddenly a reply came
out of the darkness con, Stanley, on!'
whereupon they finished the death of
Marn,ion between them, took off their hats
to each other, and parted, laughing.

The Diplomatic Controversy.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-Baron Fava's
letter to Blaine and the %latter's response
to the italian charge d'atfairs has been
made public. The fact that Secretary
Blaine addressed his last letter on the
subject of the New Orleans tragedy to
Marquis Imperial, charge d'affaires, is
of significance as demonstrating that
this government doesn not regard the rup-
ture of diplomatic relations caused by
Baron Fava's recall as complete. Had
that view been taken the communication
would have been addressed to the italian
government direct, or through the me-
dunn of Minister Porter at Rome.
How the matter is viewed by the italian
government will be disclosed by the re-
ply that is made to the secretary's letter.
If charge d'affaires replies as such it
must be construed as the acknowledge
ment that the italian government is still
represented in the United States by it's
legation. But If he announces that he is
without authority to reply and suggests
the transmittal Of the secretary's com
m~unication to Rome, it may be taken as
evidence that direct diplomatic
relations between the two countries are
at an end. A careful perusal of the Sec
retary's letter seems to warrant the as
sumption that from the very beginning
of the correspondence and negotiations
on the subject treated, the italian minis
ter assumed an aggressive attitude.
The secretary says the baron has more
than once intimated this purpose Ito de-
part speedily which clearly demon
strates that the minister had threatened
to leave Washington early in the negoti-
atious, instead of pursuing the negotia-
tions in the cautious and diplomatic man
nerthat might be expected in a case where
the facts were still officially unknown to
the United States government, although
it had taken all proper steps to secure a
speedy report from it's wi officers, in
addition to any statements that might
come from the authorities Of louisiana.
Attorney General Miller SAID to q repre-
sentative of the Associated Press this at
ternoon that there need be no
secret or mystery in regard to the
action taken by the department. of justice
in the the case Of the Italians recently
killed in the New Orleans Jail. "Ear'y
last week, almost Immediately after my
return from the South" said Miller, Sin
structions we're sent to the United States
district attorney at New Orleans to make
q thorough investigation of the case. He
was asked to report in detail the nation
ality of each Of the men killed; and how
many if any, were Italian subjects, IN
na~turalized; what evidence there wa
that any of them had anything to do
with the alleged bribery of the jury, and,
in short, to get all the facts and report
them to me as soon as possible. That is
the present state of the case, and I am
now awaiting a report" The attorney
general was requested to discuss the dip
lomatlc features of the question, but he
intimated rather broadly that he did not
regard the issue as particularly serious.

Although Marguerite Delluc Is not a virtuous
woman she loves Louis passonately. To win him
she resorts 70 fraud and falsehood. On the
strength OF a forged marriage certificate she
claims him as her husband.
