Suicide OF a Brother and sister who
Had InnocentIy Married.
HALIFAX, n. s., April 2-From the lit
tie town of Newport, on Avon river noar
Windsor, comes the story Of an unusunl
tragedy. Three days ago the dead body Of
Mrs. Madeline Duval, the pretty young
wife Of Lucien Duyal, was found drowned
in the river. The remains were taken
home and search instituted for her hus
band, who was found wandering aimlessly
in the woods about a mile from his home,
evidently half demented IL was imme
diately suspected that he was responsible
for his wife's death, aud a watch was
placed upon him. During the funeral
obsequies he eluded his keepers and fed.
The same evening his body was found
hanging in the barn, dead
A letter was found in his pocket stating
that ever since his marriage he had been
endeavoring to ascertain who his wife's
parents were, she being an adopted child,
and about week before had made the aw-
ful discovery that his wife was no less a
person than his own sister II appeared
that his mother and father had separated.
The latter went to Prince Edward Island,
taking the son with him. After the sepa-
ration the daughter Madeline, was born
The mother too proud TO ask help OF the
father, never told him Of the birth. The
girl was adopted and brought to Newport.
where Duval married her. Being religious
they were overcome with horror ut the
discovery. Mrs Duval evidently became
insane and committed suicide, and renorse
drove Duval 20 the same end They were

I'D PopnInee Arc VIA.

LONDON, April 2-Advices Just received
from Rome state that the government
is being pushed on by popular senti.
ment toward an aggressive course OF
action. King Humhert personally is friend
ly to Americans, and his feeling in this re-
spect is shared by the higher nobility. The
people, however are excited, and even
more so than when the news of the massa
ere first arrived
The American Italian papers received
within the past day or two have caused
the impression in Rome that the massacre
was prompted and defended in America by
other races adverse to the Italians and
that unless some decisive proof is given Of
the power and Importance Of Italy other
immigrant races in America will try to
tread them under foot. In London there
is a feeling that war may ensue, and the
probable outcome Of such a struggle is
discussed. 1t is admitted that Italy, sec
ond class on land is a first class naval
power, and that she is secure against any
attack by any power not commanding the
Mediterranean. On the other hand it is
believed that Italy could not do much
damage to the leading seaports OF the
United States, owing to the devices with
which harbors may be protected, even
without a fleet, and the war would resolve
itself into mutual devastation Of com
merce outside the Mediterranean.
The shame of America
Count Heirschel, of the Italian legation,
said today; Europe will learn with aston
ishment that in negotiating treaties with
America the Americans have been acting
under false pretenses and making engage.
ments that their government is impotent
to fulfill-that is, we promise protection 70
Americans, and not only promise but give
it, and would vigorously punish any one
unlawfully interfering with them. The
American government engages to protect
Italians, and now when the occasion comes
has to admit that it is entirely powerless
to perform the engagement. This is not
so honest as Turkey, China and other
semi-civilized countries, which openly ad
nit their inability to deal with foreign
residents according to the ways Of eiviliza-
tion. II America has certain states like
Louisiana, where the people are not civil
lied and resort to savage methods Of en-
forcing what they call justice, then that
fact should be mentioned in the American
treaties with civilized nations"
Italy Could Hold Her own.
As to the possibility of war Count
Hsirschel was unwilling to speak. He
said ihere would be no doubt left Of the
abiliII Of Italy TO vindicate the rights OF
her subjects. The only warlike sign in
Italy is renewed activity in naval arma-
ment. This, however, is not necessarily
significant of anticipated trouble with
America

PlTrsBURG, April 2-The statement that
the executive board Of the Federation OF
Labor had yesterday decided to begin the
miners battle for eight hours today in
stead Of May is without foundation. The
matter was discussed, but inasmuch as tht

WAsHINGroN, April l, 1891

WASHINGTON, Apru l, 1881.
Marquis Imperiali, Charge d'Affaires.
DEAR SIR-I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt Of a note Of yesterdays date from
Baron Favas who has left the Italian legation
in your charge. beg to express the sincere
regret with which the government Of the
United States receives the intelligence OF Baron
Fava's speedy departure from this capital
Though he has more than once intimated this
purpose, the government of the United States
has been unable to see adequate reasons for
such step. The baron's service here for the
past ten years has been distinguished at all
times by the most agreeable relations with the
executive department Of this government.
A MisapprehensfOn of the Facts.
The regret at his leaving is enhanced when.
as the president believes he has been recalled
under a misapprehension of facts by the gov-
ernment Of Italy. The cause Of his sundering
his diplomatic relations with this government
is thus given in his note;
.sThe reparation demanded by the govern.
ment Of the king, as / have had the honor to in.
form you in our interviews held during the
past few days. were to consist Of the following
points
IL The official assurance by the federal gov
ernment that the guilty parties should be
brought to Justice.
80 The recognition in principle that an in
demnity is due to the relatives OF the victims .
The first demand thus stated by Baron Fava
IS slightly changed in phrase from that en-
ployed by him in his many verbal requests
based on a telegram from the Marquis Rudini,
which is left with me. The Marquis Rudini de-
clared that ''Italys right to demand and to OBJ
tain punishment of the murderers and an in
demnity for the victims is unquestionable. 1t
Is inferred that Baron Fava's change of phrase
meant no change Of demand
have endeavored to impress upon him in the
several personal interviews with which he has
honored me that the government of the United
States is utterly unable to give the assurance
which the Marquis Rudini has demanded. Even
II the national government had the entire juris-
dietion over the alleged murderers il could not
give assurance TO any foreign power that they
should be punished The president is unable TO
see how any governments could justly give an
assurance Of this character in advance of trial
ano We dict of guilty
In the constitution of the United States it is
declared that 'in all criminal prosecutions the
accused shall enjoy the right te a speedy and
public trial by an impartial jury of the state

could take this view of the case it declined to

~. secretary % SAC.

Mr.. Secretary Of State:
DEAR SIR-By my two notes Of the 18th and
18th inst had the honor to call your excel
lencys serious attention to the occurrences Of
exceptional gravity which took place at New
Orleans on the 18th, whereby four subjects Of
the king of Italy, who were confined in the
prison Of that city, were massacred BY the
crowd, under the leadership Of two American
citizens. After having formally protested
against the unjustifiable conduct Of the local
authorities, which were evidently recreant to
all their duties on that occasion, / reserved to
the government Of his majesty the rights to de
mand such satisfaction as it might think proper,
since the occurrence in question constitutes a
patent violation of the stipulations Of the treaty
in force between our two countries which Sc
cures to Italian subjects residing in the United
States the same protection that is enjoyed by
American citizens, and which has always been
