AGAINST PROTECTION.
Germany, tria-Hungary and
Italy Nav Form a Coalition.


ROME. May 4.-The commercial
treaty between Germany and Austria
Hungary has become topic of comment
by the press generally. In its interested
ulterior consequences it bids fair to be-
come matter of the greatest concern to
the people of the United States. 1t IS
announced that Germany and Austria
hungary have invited Italy, SwitZer-
land and Belgium to join in conven-
ton at Vienna for the avoWed purpose
of forming coalition of the central
European states against prOtectionist
countries, but why states whose Gus
toms tariffs are constructed so uniformly
for the purpose of protecting their in
terestS as are those of Germany, Austro-
hungary and Italy can give out as the
reason for the proposed coalition,
tries, is a puzzle to those who
have carefully studied the situation.
IL is not yet known that Italy
has consented to JOIN the convention
at Vienna for the purpose of consider
ing the subject. If she should it would
seem that the political ties of the
triple alliance are stronger than her
commercial necessities. for among her
best friends. commercially considered.
are France and the United States.
Since the commercial treaty with
France expired in 1887 Italy's exports
To France have fallen off largely, but
France still remains one of ltaly's best
customers. 1taly's exports to Austria
and Germany have fallen from 1917, ,000,-
QUO francs i'll 1889 to l81, 100000 francs in
1889. In the latter year France bought
of Italy 164,000,000 francs. In 1890 the
United States bought 13O.000,0 600 francs.
The effective value of the league de
dends on the adhesion of Italy. With
out it it would fall far short of the i'm
pOrtance it would gain by her adj
herence.

that when duties are based upon the
weight of merchandise deposited in a

effect that it is applicable to all lmporta-

on Rudini.
The Counts Intimation That
1t Was Confidential Is
Refuted.
1t Was Written in English as
She Is Spoke by Baron
Fava.
Imperiali Polite and Obliging,
but Attends to Current
Business Only.

WASHINGTON, May 4.-The following
dispatch was sent by Secretary Blaine
to-day:
Porter, American Minister, Rome: series
of statements addressed to the Marquis
Imperiall by the Marquis Rudiui was tele-
graphed from Rome yesterday and was pub
lished by the Associated Press of the United
States to-day. The only part of the Marquis
Rudini's communication which this govern
ment desires TO notice is the one here quoted,
namely:
81 have now before me a note addressed to
you by Secretary Blaine, April II. It's peru
sal produces most painful impression upon
me. / will not stop to lay stress upon the
lack of conformity with diplomatic usages
displayed in making use, as Mr.. Blaine did
not hesitate to do, of portion of a telegram
of mine communicated to him in strict con-
fdence, in order to get rid of question
clearly defined in our official documents,
which alone possess a diplomatic value"
The telegram of March "a, concerning
whose public use Marquis Rudini complains,
is the following, which was quoted in full in
my note of April IA 10 Marquis Imperiali,
charge of Italy at this capital:
Rome, March 81, 1S91-Italian Minister
Washington: Our requests to the federal
government are very simple. Some Italian
subjects, acquitted by the American
magistrates, have been murdered in
prison while under the immediate pro-
lection of the authorities. Our right
therefore to demand and obtain the punish
ment of the murderers and an indemnity for
the victim is unquestionable. wish to add
that the public opinion in Italy is Justly i'm
patient, and if concrete provisions were not
at once taken, should find myself in the
painful necessity of showing openly our dis
satisfaction by recalling the minister of his
majesty from a country where he is unable
to obtain justice. RUDINI''
The intimation of the Marquis Rudni that
the telegram in question was delivered in
strict confidence, is total error. AS the
telegram expressed the demand of the Italian
government it was impossible that Marquis
Rudini could transmit it in strict confidence.
As have already stated, 1t was communi-
Gated to me in person by Baron Fava, writ
ten in English, i'll his own handwriting,
without suggestion OF privacy. and the
telegram Itself has not single mark upon it
denoting a confidential character. l have
caused a 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 Maruuis Rudini has
fallen. BLAINE.

Heroic Women.

VIENNA, May 1.-The women OF Bekes
were at the fore front of those demand
Ing the release of the prisoners. They
spit upon their hands and hurled stones
at the soldiers, and barred their breasts,
crying, Cut us down with your bavo-
nets. We will not move without our
brothers." 1t is reported that the re-
cent riot at Bekes originated in the
seizure of banner which women of the
town had prepared. On the banner was
embroidered in gold Oh white silk the
legend Liberty, Equality. Fraternity"
1t was intended fOr use on the expected
occasion of Crown Prince Rudolph COM

IMPERIALI DON'T TALK.
He Has Nothing to Say About
Rudini'S Last Note.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. May At does
not appear, in the judgment of state de-
partment people, that the note of the
Marquis Rudini to Marquis Imperiali,
who is now the representative of Italy
in the United States, published this
morning. has changed the situation for
better or worse. An Associated
Press reporter this morning asked
the Marquis Imperiali to define
his position as he understood
ing, but evidently felt himself bound to
observe the diplomatic proprieties
clearly. and declined to discuss the mat
ter. "You must let the communication
speak for ITSELF" said he. II can
only say what the letter says. am in
charge of the current business of the
legation" So about the only result
of the interview was the tecit
acknowledgement from the marquis
that he had received the note.
AS has been the case at every step of
the Italian negotiations, the department
officials decline to allow thsmselves TO
be quoted as expressing any opinions.
But privately they do not appear to at
tach particular Importance to the last
note. In the first place, that note was
not addressed to Secretary Blaine, and
it is safe tn say that its tenor would have
been entirely different ii it had been. Nor
was it intended to be shown to him.
1t is regarded here as intended solely
for domestic consumption" being
rather cleverly calculated to inspire the
Italian people with the idea that the
government is pursuing a vigorous and
resentful policy, while taking advantage
of diplomatic stagnation of expression
and form and prevent the United States
from having any official ground for re-
sentiment. The Marquis Imperiali is in
charge of the current business of
the Italian legation. That has
been his precise status since Baron
Fava quilted Washington, so that it
cannot be said that diplomatic relations
between the United States and Italy are
severed. The Italian government ap-
pears to be awaiting the action of our
judicial authorities. There has been
no correspondence between the two gov
ernments since Secretary Blaine's note
of April IA to Imperiali, and it may be
recalled that in that note the secretary
stated that the United States govern
ment was investigating the subject of
the New Orleans tragedy. The next
step will be taken by this government.
and will probably be an addition to the
correspondence in the shape of an
epistle founded upon the report of Dis
trict Attorney Grant at New Orleans In
regard to the nationality and character
of the dead Italians.

HE'S A MARK.
The Malta Is After the Life of ST..
Louis Italian.

ST. LOUIS, May 4.-Tony Pandolfin,
an Italian, we'll educated and of good
address, believes that he is marked
man-marked for assassination by the
deadly Malta. And for that reason he
goes about his business heavily armed.
The case has just been reported to the
police, but the story told is that while
Pandolfin was standing in saloon at
Seventh and Elm streets yesterday
afternoon, he was attacked by an un-
known Italian and stabbed in the left
breast.
II am positive that l have been
marked for assassination" said he. "As
i was leaning against the bar yesterday
| saw hand stretched over my Shout
der and the CLEAN of a long-bladed dirk
in the clenched fingers and then felt the
steel in my breast"
As he said this he pushed back his
shirt and displayed small red line in
the middle of his left breast. Pandolfin
attributes the attack to remark he
made in crowded saloon at the time of
the New Orleans lynching. He was
discussing the affair with some friends.
and said that it served the I'D dogs
right" and he believes the Malta have
sent an emisSary to do away with him.

story: Friday afternoon, the 10th inst,
while the schooner Sisters was lying in
Cow bay, Jamaica, Capt. Greenwood
and a portion of the crew went on shore
lor the purpose of having bath in a
lake we'll known as Pond Mouth. In
the party were two little boys named
George Thomas and John Greenwood,
the latter son OF the captain. They
had been in the water about ten min

distance away from the boys, heard
scream, and, on looking, saw
the boy Thomas in the mouth

away with him before their eyes, and
all of them powerless to prevent it. or

Immediately rushed into the water after
the alligator, but as soon as he had got
ten yards nearer, the brute went down

water, and Capt. Greenwoon. with the
aid of one of his men, succeeded in res

a wound on the left arm, and he
was quite exhausted. He was
taken on board of the vessel,
where restoratives were administered
and the wound dressed with carbolic
acid and laudunum until the vessels

the public hospital. Immediately after
