VERDI IS VERBOSE.
Italy He Claims to Be in the
Right iii the Matter.

WASHINGTON, April IA reporter
who called this afternoon on Baron
Fava found him closeted with DR.. f. S.
Verdi. of this city, and inaccessible.
Subsequently DR.. Verdi. who was seen,
said:
THE case is a remarkably plain one Ital-
ian men have been murdered, and the Italian
government has yainly asked the United
States for reparatiOn. This government has
said: We can do nothing; only the courts of
Louisiana MAJ take action If this govern
ment be powerless in such Il matter it is
most serious thing. Why were treaties en-
tered into with Italy and all other European
powers if the United States cannot per
form that which it promised to dO-to
protect Italian citizens in this country. The
United States government has said that il is
poweTless as to its duties under the treaty.
What are any OF its agreements with any ma
ton worth: Will it satisfy the European
powers to say that this crime was
committed in the state of Louisiana,
and therefore is without the province
of the general government! Is Louisiana
known and recognized as a nation: Italy
knows that these men who were murdered
were acquitted by Il jury of Americans, and,
believing il the majesty of the law, it mat
tiers not that mob-the people. You say-re-
versed the verdict and executed men VINO
had been legally declared innocent. 1t mat
tiers not if these men who were killed were
most vicious and criminal. Your law said
they were not guilty and Italy is on the
right side when 1t endeavOrs to uphold
American law as against the action of a
mob
DR.. Verdi declared with a good deal
of energy that Baron Fava's recall was
not due to dissatisfaction with the baron
personally.
This action" said DR.. Verdi, lis that of
an insulted power. The Italian government
is standing on it's dignity, and by recalling its
representative but voices the sentiment Of
thirty millions of people
How much the late minister did to
prevent this clash, DR.. Verdi added,
might never be known, but the doctor
declared that
at is fact that for at least ten days he
has delayed doing that which he was com
PEELED to do yesterday. When he received
his instructions he at once made endeavor to
have them rescinded, and not until he was
forced TO do SO did he sever the diplomatic
relations Of the two countries
DR.. Verdi closed the interview with
the following passionate statement:
This talk of war is empty foolishness.
| The United States will see its duty and do
! 1t, but nothing can be expected from Lousi-
| ana. 1t has been asked again and again.
Why does Italy not wait for action by the
New Orleans grand jurY:' And now ask
| Why should she? What can we expect
from that grand jury? What could we look
for from such q community as New Orleans.

murderer. the board of trade and the clubs
composed of murderers, where murder has

WHAT ITALY ASKS.
Interview Between Minister Por-
ter and SignOr d'Arco,

ROME, April LIN official circles here
1t is stated that Baron Fava, the Italian
minister at WashiD gton, has not cabled
anything decisive to his government in
regard to his recall. The American
minister here, a. G. Porter, yesterday
requested the Italian government to be
patient for few days, explaining in
detail the obstacles existing in the
United States which are in the way of a
speedy settlement of the questions IN
volved by the New Orleans lynchings.
The rumOrs circulated IN the United
States TO the effect that a number of
Americans are detained in custody
here as hostages for the future treat
ment Of Italians now in the United
States are classed as poissons d'Avril
april FOOLS day jokes of very bad
taste. Public opinion here awaits the
issue of the negotiations between the
United States and Italy in most tran
quill frame of mind.
The tenor of Baron Fava'S note to Mr..
Blaine is that what Italy asked and still
asks is the federal governments guar
antee that regular legal proceedings
will be taken against the culpritS in the
New Orleans lynchine, and that the
federal government will admit in prin-
cipie its obligation TO pay an indemnity
to the families OF the victims. The
United States minister. A. j. Porter,
yesterday called to see the Marquis di
Rudini, the Italian premier, who, how
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1891-04-02

ever, was absent from the city. Mr..
Porter, in the absence of the marquis,
saw the under secretary for foreign af-
fairs, SCR. D'ArcO. Mr. POrter'S interview
with SCR. d ArcO lasted about two hours,
and during the course of the converse
ton, which was conducted in English,
the United States minister expressed
regret at the fact that the Italian gov
eminent had thought lit to recall Baron
Fava, and, generally speaking, thought
that the United States government
would not deny any request of the
Italian government if there were reason
and fairness in such demands. Mr..
Porter also promised to place before the
United States government at Washing
ton the substance of the conversation
which took place between himself and
SGT. d'Arco. incidentally Mr.. Porter
also suggested that the Italian govern
ment should wait until tomorrow be-
fore taking further action, in the hope
that satisfactory answer might be re-
ceived from Washington. Before Mr..
Porter left SCR. dArco'S office the latter
said:
suppose dozen American citizens were
murdered in an Italian city, and we pleaded
impotence to punish the murderers because
the city in which the murders occurred en-
Joyed an autonomous form OF governments?
What opinion would you in the United
States, and what opinion would the civilized
world at large have in regard to cur pIea?"
Mr.. Porter thereupon tried to make
clear to Signor D'ArcO the relatio MS of
the federal government to the ind ivid-
ual states as fixed by the constitu ton.
But Signor D'Arco was not satisfied and
replied with some heat:
We have nothing to do with your consti
tuition. If it is found wanting you must
mend it. You know that 1t is no constitution
worthy of n free civilized country if il does
not insure punishment for crime or the pro-
lection of the weak
In conclusion, Mr.. Porter again prom
ised to place before the United States
government the substance of the con-
verSatiOn which had taken place be-
tween himself and SignOr D'Arco.

ACTION DEMANDED.
Italian Political Circles Indoors
Their Government.

Their Government.
ROME, April Political circles here
fully indorse the action of the Italian
government. Influential Italians advise
the Italian government to send circu-
lar note to the friendly powers denounc-
ing the United States as being con-
fessedly unable to insure justice in the
United States, and as impOtent to fulfill
the duties of civil government.
Other prominent Italians suggest that
the Italian government should break off
all negotiations with the Washington
government, and that it should in future
so far as the New Orleans lynchingS are
concerned, deal directly with the state
of Louisiana, and that the latter state
government should be called to account
for the killing of the Italian priS-
OnerS in the New Orleans Jail.
During the course of an interview to-
day the Marquis di Rudini said that per-
sonally he was most kindly disposed
toward the United States government.
and expressed the hope that the civil
authorities of the United States would
not fail in their duty towards society,
morality, justice and law. Public Opin-
ion, however, he added demands more
energetic course of action. If the United
States government, he continued. does
not perceive that it is in the wrong, a
diplomatic rupture is inevitable. Con-
tinuing, the premier said:
THE report that Americans have been IN
suited and arrested in Italy as an outcome of
the present negotiations is ridiculous ana
false. Americans always receive here the
best and kindest hospitality both upon the
part of the Italian government ana the Ital-
ian people both knowing perfectly the duties
of a civilized country

discharged from the employ of Amsdell,

AmSdell then commenced proceedings
to annul the marriage between his
daughter and Oracle. 1t came up for
trial in Albany, but was abandoned be-
cause of a strong defense. Theodore
was sent to North Dakota to establish
residence and begin this suit. In the
hearing to-day the defense alleges con-
spiracy OH the part of Amsdell to prove
adultery, citing case wherein he
was sought to be inveigled into
compromising situation with
a fallen but beautiful woman

city, the detective and two witnesses
being present when the door was
opened. The same scheme was tried
two subsequent times in Brooklyn.
These witnesses testify they were to be
paid $500 for their testimony on this
point. Considerable testimony on a
line with above was introduced by the
defense.

THE ANTI-SCALPER'S BILL.
Orators Take Whirl at 1t Before
the Committee.


The house railroad committee last
evening had under consideration House
File 1858, bill for an act to regulate
the sale of railroad tickets, and protect
the purchasers thereof, introduced by
Mr.. Setterlund. Mr.. Wellington was
pres emf, representing the ticket brok-
ers, and spoke against the bill, deliver
ing strong and convincing argument
against the taeasure. He thought the
title OF the bill misnomeI. Its true
title should be: "a bill for an act to
regulate the sale of railroad tickets,
and to give an undue adj
vantage to the railroad compa-
MES over the purchasers thereof He
argued that the oStensible purpose of
the bill was TO slut out the ticket brok-
ers; IN other words, to cut out all COM

son why broker should not, when the
rates were low, purchase block of I'M
limited tickets, and then, when the rates
went up. give the outside public the
benefit of his speculation. Some of the
older railroads, however, wanted to pre-
vent this: they desired to prevent the
public from obtaining any advantages
OF this kind. These ticket brokers did
Legitimate business, and there was no
absolute reason why any such legisla-
ton as proposed should be passed in the
interests Of the railroads. No one else
could be benefited by the bill. The rail
roads were also, by it, proposing to pro-
tect themselves against the dishonesty
of their own employees. Mr.. Yelling
ton continued:
What would YOU think of the merchant
who would come before you, or the en-
ployer of any kind-the man running an ele-
vator for instance-and ask that special

TOO MANY DRINKS.
An Opera House Comedy Not
Down in the Bills.


Special to the Globe.
HELENA, Mont, April 1.-The opera
house, the only place of amusement
here, changed hands to-day. John
Mcguire, the former lessee, retired.
John Remington took his place. There
was quite a fight for the house, but
Remington secured a three years lease,
beginning after midnight this morning.
Mcguire put man in charge and re-
fused to surrender. The Waterman
went out to get drink ten minutes
after twelve and Remington took adj
vantage of the opportunity to enter and
put his man in charge. The doors were
double locked, back and front. and
everything looked snug for Remlng-
ton. At daylight, however. Rem
ington called his Waterman to
saloon in front of the theater to give
him a drink. During his absence
Maguire's man broke in the back door,
climbed ladder on the stage and took
a position in the flies, gun in hand.
When Remington discovered this he
had the ladder removed, leaving Ma
CURES man in the flies unable to get
down and with nothing to eat but re-
volver and box of cartridges. Thus
the matter stands tonight. Mcguire
has possession of the stage, while REM
ingtOn holds the lobby, and Marie VAIN
wright is booked to appear three nights,
beginning Friday, under Remington's
contract How she will do it in di-
vided house will be developed to-mOr-
row night. Remington is an old en-
ploye of Mcguire. and the feeling be
tween them is very bitter. Mcguire
denies any intention of hampering the
appearance of Remington's attractions.
Remington says Maguire's object is to
annoy him by holding on to the house
till disposSessed by law, which takes
five DAYS.
