use, as Mir. Blaine did not hesitate to do, ok . portion of a telegram of mine communicated to him in strict confidence in order to get rid of question clearly defined in our official doc uments which alone possess diplomatic value"
 The telegram of March A concerning whose public use the Marquis Rndini complains is the following, which was quoted in full in my note of April IA to Marquis Imperiai, charge of Italy at this capital: Rome, March 2, 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 protection of the authorities Our right, therefore, to demand and obtain the punishment of the murderers and an indemnity for the victims iD unquestion- able wish to add that the public opinion in Italy is justly impatient, and if concrete pro- visions were not at once taken should find myself in the painful necessity of showing openly our dissatisfaction by recalling the minister of his majesty from 8 country where he is unable to obtain justice. Rudini''
 The intimation of the Marquis Rudini that the telegram in question was delivered in strict confidence is 8 total error. As the telegram ex- it was impossible that the Marquis Rudini could transmit it in strict confidence. AS have al- ready stated, it was . communication to me in person by Baron Fava, written in English by his own handwriting, without a suggestion of privacy, and that the telegram itself has not . single mark upon it denoting confidential character. Ihave caused a number of copies of the telegram to be forwarded to you today in fac simile The usual mark for public printing was used by me under four lines, and they ap- pear in the copies You will use the fac similes in such manner ss will most effectually prove the error into which the Marquis Rudini has fallen.

BUlKElEY ANSWERS MORRIS.

He Claims That No Successor Has Been
 Elected to Qualify.
 NEW HAVEN, May 9-The answers of ernor Merwin to the claims of Judge Nor are almost identical. The governors an governor of Connecticut, and the court would be bound to take judicial notice of that fact and dismiss the proceedings even goes on as follows:
 Nevertheless, in deference to the order of this court and to the end that Governor Bulke- lev may be advised and informed as to his con- stitutional rights and duties, he further says that the general assembly of Connecticut, at its January session, 1889, to wit, on Thursday, Jan. TO- lS89 that being the second day of said ses- sion, did, by joint ballot of both houses, choose him governor for the term of two years and until his successor shall be duly qualified He then qualified and has acted and does still con- tinue to act as governor, no successor having yet been chosen and qualified, and no person can be invested with the office of governor until he has been duly declared governor by the gen. eral assembly of Connecticut and has qualified accordingly
 The answer then cites as evidence the action of the house in Investigating the returns and finding that no person had received majority of the votes cast. The governor denies that he usurps the office, and says he exercises it's functions by war rant of law He asks for the dismissal of the charges against him. The Democrats will file an answer or a demurrer, prob ably the latter. It may be month before the court passes upon the question.

GOOD ADVICE.

A town where the farmers have DO creamery and don't want one is good town to avoid when one wants farm for home. It is progressive farming that is attractive-not farming of the Abrahamic sort-N. '. Witness.

A BIG SUNDAY BLAZE.

Leggett's Nine Story Grocery House
 Gutted at New York.
 NEW YORK, May 1.-The three top floors of Francis H. Leggett & Co.'s nine story wholesale grocery house on West Broad way, Franklin and Varick streets, were gutted by fire yesterday afternoon. Part of the cupola and of the wall on the West Broadway side fell out and struck the down track of the Sixth avenue elevated road, smashing the guard rails and ties and rendering the track useless. But trains ran right along, back and forth on the up track.
 MT. Wallace, member of the firm, esti- mated the total loss at $40O, 900, of which $35O, 900 was to stock, and about $1OO, 900 of that was done by water, he thought. Chief Bonner thought $250, 900 would cover the total loss. Later MT. Wallace said $500 GOO was conservative estimate.
 The Coldwell-Wilcox company's foun- dry and machine works at Newburg, N. r., were burned. Loss, $35, 900; insurance, 1000.

She Was the Founder and Leader of tho
 Theosophists.
 LONDON, May 9.-Mme. Blavatsky, the we'll known Theosophist, is dead. Mme Helene Petrovna Blavatsky, the renowned founder and leader of the Theosophists, was born at Ekaterinslav, in southern Russia, in 1881.
 She came to America about 1875 and re- sided in New York, where she began to organize the Theosophical society, whose headquarters were afterward and are still in India. Among those who became con- verts to the new doctrine were Colonel F. F. Olcott, who was a we'll known poli- tician, and employed in the office of the comptroller of New York; General Abner Doubleday; O'Donovan, the sculptor and other we'll known men. Colonel Olcott became so enthusiastic over the idea that he went with Mime. Blavatsky to India, was made president of the Theosophical society which they established in Hindu stan and Ceylon, and, in fact, under the powerful influence of these two a wide spreading culte was organized and has been sustained ever since.

QUAKER CITY CRASHES.
Two Big Financial Concerns
 Have Gone Under.
SENSATIONAL RUMORs ARE AFLoAT

The Spring Garden Bank and the Penn
 Safety Deposit and Trust Company
 Have Both Failed-President Kenne-
 dy's Explanation.
 PHILADELPHIA, May 9.-There is great uneasiness in this city over the failure of the Spring Garden bank and the Penn Safe Deposit and Trust company, and sensational rumors that concern the alleged instability of other institutions. Vice President Caldwell, of the Girard National bank, emphatically denies that his bank is embarrassed as was reported. He says that the bank was never in better condition than it is today, and that it is able to pay every dollar it owes. The Spring Garden bank closed it's doors Fri day afternoon, and is now in the hands of Bank Examiner w. P. Drew. In answer to request sent in to President Kennedy for some information as to the reasons for the banks closing, the following note was sent out:
 President Kennedy's Statement.
 "We have decided to place the bank in the hands of MT. Drew, the national bank examiner. This step has been forced upon us principally by the large withdrawal of deposits during the financial stringency which commenced last September and the continued dullness of business since. To meet these demands on our reserves it was found impossible to realize rapidly on the assets. We have been below in our re- serve for some weeks past and can see no immediate prospect of increasing 1t. We still owe balance to the clearing house committee for outstanding loan certif- cates, payment of which is being pressed. These facts, coupled with the disturbances of the past week, have caused increased uneasiness on the part of some of our de positors together with the weakening of our credit with the other banks. We hope the suspension is only temporary"
 Philade1phia's Money Endangered.
 Bank Examiner Drew could not be found about the bank. He went away almost immediately after the closing of the doors. It is said that there is $144, ,000 of the city of Philadelphia's money locked up in the banks strong boxes. The last statement of the Spring Garden National bank for the week preceding May showed: Loans, e, 427, 900; reserve, $403. 900; deposits in banks, q, 900; deposits, $1.719,0OO
 The Penn Goes Down, Too.
 The Penn Safe Deposit and Trust com pany, which has offices in the Spring Gar den National bank building, made an as- alignment yesterday afternoon. The Penn Trust is of1icered by the same men as the Spring Garden bank. It must not be con- founded with the Pennsylvania Annuity Safe Deposit and Trust company, which is one of the strongest institutions in Phila- delphia-
 The trust company is now state insti- tuition, separate from the Pennsylvania bank, but it is practically an outgrowth of the bank in this, that the stockholders of the bank are also largely stockholders of the trust company.
