Nothing more ia known here about the
New O.leans affair than has already been
printed The Governor of Louisiana has

who were lynChed and is not par
ticuariy gvievsd at their fate. Ii
any of them were Italian citizens the
government will pay proper damages
and look tc Louisiana for reimburse m ant.

ran citizsns and had voted in New Orleans.
The delegation OF Italians from Chicago
now reported to be on their way here to de-

by the Italian Minister. but be denied
90 audience with the President. It is
thought here by some that the case may be
brought before the U. conrts under that section
of the Constitution which provides that the Judi
cial power of the government shsli extend to
ca as between State or the citizens thereof, and
foreign States, citizens or subjects.
