"WAsfINGroN, May 1, 1891.
"Iouer, american Minister Rome
"a series OF statements addressed to
the Marquis Imperiali by the Marquis
Rudini was telegraphed from Rome yes
terday and was published by the Assoca-
ted Press of the United States to-day.
yhe only part of the Marquis Rudini's
commit mication which this Government
desires to notice is the one here quoted,
namely: u have now before me note
addressed to you by Secretary Blaine on
April ii. It's perusal produces most
painful impression upon me. | will not
stop to lay stress upon the lack OF con
formity with diplomatic usages displayed
in making use, as Mr.. Blaine did not hes.
itate TO do, of portion of telegram of
mine communicated to him in strict con
iidence in order to get rid of n question
clearly defined in our official documents
which alone possess diplomatic value
"The telegram of March a. concerning
whose public use the Marquis di Rudini
complains is the following, which was
quoted in full in my note OF April II to
Marquis lmperiali, charge of Italy at this
Capital:
ROME, March 2l, 1891.
"'UdlidH Minister, UdSbingiou
"'Our requests to the Federal Govern
ment are very simple. Some Italian sub
iects acquitted by the American magis-
trates have been murdered in prison
while under the immediate protection of
the authorities. Our right, therefore, to
demand and obtain the punishment of
the murderers, and an indemnity for the
victims is unquestionable. ] wish TO add
that the public opinion in Italy is justly
impatient, and if concrete provisions were
not at once taken | should find myself in
the painful necessity of showing openly
the dissatisfaction by recalling the Minis
ter of his Majesty from a country where
he is unable to obtain justice.
"RuDING.'
THE intimation of the Marquis Rudini
that the telegram in question was de-
| livered in strict confidence is a total error.
| As the telegram expressed the demand of
| the Italian Government, it was impossi-
| ble that Marquis Rudini could transmit it
| in strict confidence. AS ! have already
| stated, it was communicated to me ir. per-
son by Baron Fava, written in English in
! his own handwriting, without a Yugges
| ton of privacy, and the telegram itself
has not single mark upon it denoting a
| confidential character. | have caused q
number of copies of the telegram to be
| forwarded to you to-day in fac simile.
| The usual mark for Italic printing was
used by me under four lines, and they
| appear in the copies. You will use the
fac SMILES in such manner as will most
| effectually prove the error into which the
Marquis Rudni has fallen. BLAINE"

A POWER OF SMOKE.
Likewise Power of Talk About th
Power House,

Likewise n Power of Talk About the
Power House.
Superintendent Hayden of the Water
Department has submitted report to
Colonel Robert relative to the smoke from
the stack of the proposed power plant of
the new cable road, to be erected at Four
teenth and Il streets northwest.
In the report he says:
have been unable to obtain any de-
finite information relative to the plans or
character of the boilers and stack that the
Washington and Georgetown Railroad
Company may adopt. However, / am
confident if the power plant in question
should be provided with boilers and appli-
ances for feeding the furnaces of the
same design and construction as now
used at the Seventh street power house,
with stack adequately proportioned for
the duty that will be required of it, and
should be as carefully and skillfully man
aged as the boilers have been at the power
house referred to, ! do not think any Oh
lection can be Justly made to locating the
plant on the site selected, on account of
smoke, by anyone residing or owning
property in close proximity thereto.
In making my investigation in this
matter ] found the following buildings

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
The Farmers Alliance Has Made Poll
tics Mighty Uncertain.

-
tics Mighty Uncertain.
An intelligent gentleman, formerly the
editor of Mississippi paper, but at present
resident of this city, says that politics
are red hot down in his State. The in-
lection of the Alliance lymph into Missis-
sjppi's local affairs has resulted in a vast
deal of uncertainty about the future Of
the old-line politicians who overturned
Republican rule in 1875 and who have
ever since enjoyed the emoluments of
official life.
The State is largely agricultural in its
industries, but here and there factory or
mill indicates that the people are gradually
diversifvng their industries.
The Alliance people are cutting big
figure just now in the dual Senatorial
fight made possible by the declination of
Senator Walthall to be candidate for re-
election and the desire of Senator George
to retain his toga. By reason of the
wide circulation of DIR. Macunes Alli-
ance organ the Economist, and local ALI
ance papers, the farming classes of the
State have been pretty thoroughly in
noculated with the sub-treasury doctrine
and kindred theories, which the old
liners find it difficult to explain away,
much less to eradicate. The promoters of
this Alliance host are Editor Barkitt of
of the Legislature, and ex-Congressman
Barksdale, who was lately overthrown in
a Congressional race by the veteran Gem
eral Hooker. Both of these men are am
bilious to come on to Washington in a
Senatorial capacity.
The old liners who are standing in the
breach are Senator George and the present
Governor, j. NJ. Stone, who are the regu-
larly accredited Democratic candidates
for the two Senatorial offices.
The people of the State, says this gem
tlemen. are holding in abeyance their
Judgment as to the wisdom of the late
constitutional enactment which prac-
tically disfranchises 10000 negro voters
They recognize that it is an experiment to
be rid of race that being in the majority
threatened at every election to bring
about political disaster, but they are moi
disposed to accept it until its good fruits
are apparent.
This gentleman reports that the large
majority of negroes in Mississippi are
happy and contented, and many Of then

A SYMPOSIUM.
POLITICAL OPINIONS OF A NEW
YORKER AND A CALIFORNIAN.

Mr. Clunic, Democrat Thinks Arthur Pue
German the Man for '02-Mr. Farqu.
har Defeated but Expectant, Fances
as FavOritc the Present incumbent.
Ex-Representatives Clunie, Democrat,
Of California, and Farquhar Republican,
of New York, were in conversation with Il
number Of friends at an uptown hotel
this morning. The tariff, the Italian
question and other matters of national
and international importance were talked
about.
at is my opinion said Mr.. Clunie,
that the Democratic candidate in 1892
will win without much trouble. The Pa.
cifc Coast will fall into line this time for
the party of reform and retrenchment"
That's your opinion" said Mr. Far
quhar "Iut let me tell YOU that our
party-the party that believes in protect
ing American industries and floating the
American flag ON the high seas--wiil come
out victorious, no matter who they nomi-
nate.n
One Of the gentlemen present chimed in
and said;
THE tickets will be the same in 92 as in
1SSS-Cleveland and Harrison
81 don't believe Cleveland will be nomi-
mated" replied Mr.. Farquhar, "because
] don't believe the Democrats want to run
a man on consolation stake. He's been
tried once"
BY the way" put in Mr.. Clunie, "Ar-
thur p. German is developing great
strength throughout the country. While
! am for the candidate of the party, no
matter who he may be, sincerely be-
lieve that Gorman is the strongest man
we have. ! have no reason to think that
he is in any sense candidate for the
nomination. but if / thought he was I
would go to work at once for him, as
would other good Democrats. German
would get every Democratic vote in the
country and thousands of independent
votes. People like a manly, modest man
like Senator German. He would run like
race-horse.n

No MISTAKE WAS MADE in appointing
ANDREW G. BRADLEY TO the District Su-
lreme Bench. Although very young
man for so lofty and important posi-
tiop, Judge BRADLEY has not suffered by
comparison with his venerable confreres,
in dignity, ability, learning or force of
character. 1t is good thing for any
community to have men like him upon
the bench. He is learned, conservative
and vigorous, with the judicial temper
ament strongly developed and, beneath
ii all. that substratum of sincere morality
and sturdy patriotism without which no
merely intellectual structure, however,
brilliant, can be relied upon to protect
society. Wise and substantial citizens
who have known ANDREW BRADLEY from
childhood, and have seen him develop
into this splendid maturity, are watching
his course now with pride and satisfac-
ton. He is an honor to the city of his
birth

A Penny Saved is Two Earned

Is the catch line of some circulars and
prospectus just issued by the American
Cooperative Banking Company, whose
central Office is at 62l + street northwest.
This financial institution is introducing
a novel but an intensely valuable and
practical system for the banking of small
savings, an innovation in banking ex-
tremely desirable and feasible and that
cannot fail to be promotive of the interests
of large class of citizens.
One obstruction in the way of effecting
a saving of small sums or earnings by
banking has been not only in the trouble,
time and expense necessary in making
deposits, but in the infinite amount of
bookkeeping required of the bank to make
its records.
This institution has introduced the sys-
tenn of saving and banking by use of
gummed stamps. For instance, it fur
nishes blank folded card of size to be
easily carried in the pocket and provides
stamps of a denomination Of /, o. 10, 25
and so cents, which it keeps available at
its central Office and at different receipt
stamp stations in the city available to the
public. Now, if person can spare .
or 30 cents or 81 and wishes TO make q
saving or deposit of the same, he or she
steps into a receipt stamp station and
buys stamps to the amount wanted and
pastes them upon his stamp card before
referred to. When the accumulation
amounts to 50 he can surrender his card
TO the company and have the deposit
entered to his credit, taking another blank
card and so proceed al iHtiHHHm.
The great value and advantage is in
the incentive to make small savings al
ways present and always available, and
the moment five dollars is deposited i'm
bank interest commences and the amount
deposited doubles itself in eight years.
As an illustrtiOn, suppose Il ten.cent
stamp is purchased each day (Which is
merely the price of good cigar or a com
mon drink of whisky; after the eighth
year it will return 10 the depositOr so
per year, Here is profit safety and con.
venience combined.
The features of this new financial insti-
| tuition are well worth looking into II
| promises 10 fill want of great value to
| The public and can safely rely on soon
numbering its depositors in this city by
the thousands,
The officers OF the company are Colonel
I j. W. Taylor president; q. j. Chase, sec
Tetary and treasurer; General s. $. Hen
kle, general attorney, and j. l.. Bowles,
actuary.
Among It's directory and advisory board
are some Of the leading business men Oi

SAVE THE SEALS.
Where the Fur Seals Are Found-The
Number Now Existing.

Where the fur seals Are EOund-lhe
Number Now Existing.
A gentleman connected with the Treas
ury Department who has visited Alaska
says of seal fishing
'Ihe seals are found on only two
islands Of the long Aleutian range that
sweeps across the Pacific 500 miles south
east from Alaska. These two islands, st.
George and st. Paul, are situated about
200 miles north of the Aleutian chain
proper, and almost in the centre of the
Bering Sea- st. George embraces about
60 square miles and st. Paul 2l0. The
inhabitants are Aleutians who were trans
ported there by the Russians.
There are not more than $50 of these
people, all told, and they look like Jap
anese, Their language is limited TO a few
words. About seyenty.fiye years ago
some Greek bishops taught them to speak
the words they now use. Before that
time they practically had no langu lge."
Mr. Ryan, formerly a Government
agent there, says the estimate as 10 the
number of seals that annually visit St.,
George and st. Paul are greatly exag-
gerated. Instead Of four 10 six millions
he thinks that two millions would be a
liberal estimate. The law protects the
cows from being killed, as well as bulls OF
a certain age and pups. What are known
as the bachelor seals, young fellows from
four to six years old, are the ones that are
marked for destruction.
The 'pianophone is the latest Itoon-
sists of keyboard with keys of the same
size and description as an ordinary piano,

ordinary strings. These being tuned to
the ordinary scale, yield sufficient sound
70 make the playing on the instrument
audible at any distance. The instrument
never gets out of tune.

THE WEATHER OFFICE did not hit it off
very happily this morning when it sol
emnly announced that there would 'be
no change of temperature for Tuesday.
Instead of remaining at a stand, the mer-
curry fell at least twenty degrees during

remark, in view of these circumstances,
that local youths who are now impatient
