Laid by love and sorrow there.
Where the cannons dreadful thunder
Pealed across the smoky plain.
And the air seemed rent asunder
As tile echoes rang again;
On the hillside where the ridges

by the rivers where the bridges
Bristled with the bayonet,

On the mounded graves. to show
Where the battlefield embosoms
Those who fought there years ago.
Side 10y side their warfare over.

Underneath theic grassy cover

Hatred can have no survival

And of all their former quarrels
Naught distinguishes the foes
Save the wreathinss of the laurel

Have more force than angry words;
Kindness stays the feuds OF factions,
Love can duh the sharpest swords.

WHY FAvA WAS RECALLED.
The New Orleans Iynching Discussed Ii
the Italian Chamber.

yne ltaiban SuI"UeEs
ROME, May ;5.-The Marquis di
Rudini in the chamber of deputies
Thursday discussed the New Orleans
affair, and said it was simply a
legal question. The departure of Baron
Fava from Washington, he continued,
had been ordered as a protest against
the action of the United States in re-
jecting responsibility for the affair.
European sympathy. the premier
added, was with Italy, and he hoped
for friendly solution Of the question
involved.
Sig. Puintieri. after acknowledging
what he termed the strict legality Of
Premier di Rudini's action in the dis
pute with the United States and the
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 a:
tie rupture in the relations between
the United States and Italy. He
thought that little should be said about
the affair as it was very delicate mat
ter. He begged Premier di Rudini to use
every endeavor to bring about settle
ment Of the dispute, which he said
olght not to be allowed to linger.
Premir di Rudini said exaggerated inn
p,rtance ought not to be given to
the New Orleans affair, nor 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 irre-
sponsible in the matter. The qucs-
ton seemed to be entering a
new phase. Judicial proceedings had
been commenced against the lynchers, =
continued the premier, but / cannot
Say to what extent the proceedings are
serious. Nevertheless / am certain
that Europe approves our action. Our
consul at New Orleans has been re-
called partly because the government
wishes to obtain the fullest informa-
tion in regard to the matter, and partly
because we fear that some of the com

were inopportune.'
