FORGETFUL ITALIANS.
Two Cases Wherein the Italian
Government Acted Slowly.

government acted Slowly.
ROME, April 20.-The newspapers of
this city are complaining bitterly Of
what they term the ''leisurely manner'
of Mr.. Blaine in replying to the COM
munications of the Italian government
relative to the New Orleans affair.
They seem to forget in Italy that, using
the usual means of communication be-
tween governments, 1t takes three
weeks for Italy and the United States
to exchange communications. They
also seem to forget that the United
States has just as good grounds for COM
plant against the Italian government as
the papers claim the latter has against
the American secretary of state.
Take, for instance, the case of the ltal-
ian, Salvatore Paladina. The Amer
lean government demanded that this Of
fender against the laws of the United
States, who had fled to Italy, be eX-
tradited TO stand trial upon the charge
of counterteiting. The Italian govern
ment. two weeks after the receipt of
this demand, asked the American lega-
ton here what citizenship Paladina
claimed, whether American or ltal-
ian. In response to this question the
American legation stated on the same
Qdy IlIdb Tic request lOI iIllOIlldllOll was
received that Paladina claimed to be an
Italian subject. This was the last heard
of the matter for two months. when, in
answer to the United Estates govern
ment'S request for the eXtradi-
ton of Paladina, the Ital-
ian government stated that the
constitution and laws of Italy did not
allow of the carrying out of the treaty
existing between Italy and the United
Stntes so far as the eXtradition of Ital-
ians was concerned. Italy again took
this position relative to the Italian con-
stitutiOn and laws when the United
States subsequently demanded the eX-
tradition of the two Italians who were
implicated in the murder of Paymaster
Mcclure, an employee of a contractor
who was engaged in constructing a rail
road near WilkeSbarre, Pa, and Hugh
Flanagan, another employe of the same
contractor, who were killed and robbed
of sum of money which the paymaSter
had to pay laborers, and for which
crime third Italian was convicted and
executed by the Pennsylvania authOri-
ties. His two accompliceS made their
escape from the United States and re-
turned to Italy, but the Italian govern
ment refused to surrender them for
trial. basing its refusal on the ground
that it would be constitutional to
surrender Italian subjects for trial in a
FOREIGN cOnntrN.

THE sAGE,s PORTRAIT.

A portrait of Mr.. DONNELLY in oil
was on exhibition yesterday in the
lobby of the capitol. The GLOBE does
net mean by this that Mr.. DONNELLY is
III oil, but that the portrait is. Mr..
DoNNELLY is in repose. His right ar m
is pictured as thrust heart-deep into his
buttOned coat. and his face wears an eX-
preston of mingled photographers
cheerfulnesS and physical distress. 1t
is undoubtedly good likeness of the
Sage, and we'll executed, but it is some
what different from the popular idea of
the great man. The DoNNELLY Of COM
merce, if this style of expression may
be borrowed from the drug trade, is not
DONNELLY recumbent-as represented
in this picture-but DoNNELI.Y ram
pant. In the Imagination of the masses
he is always in an attitude of AjaX-like
defiance, and his right arm is perma-
nently raised skyward, as he calls the
heavens and all that in them is to wit
ness the purity of his motives and the
profundity Of his wisdom. Probably
Mr.. DONNELIY is not busy all the time
setting Rome on fire, and no doubt he
occasionally plays the fiddle while he
rests between the successive blaZeS. At
such time the artist has caught and
immortalized him. The Sage is here
seen not saying word; and that he
sometimes can do this, shows once more
how amazingly versatile he is.

MR. MOVES, CONTRIBUTION.

DANIEL r. MOVES, the president
of the chamber of commerce, replies, to
Rev. S. G. SMITHS inquiry as to what
ST. Paul most needs, that larger sup
ply of godliness would be desirable
acquisition. He expresses the idea
little more POLITICALLY by saying that
unless the Lord keep the city" we
shall watch in vain and labor in vain
who try to keep it. This is an impor-
tant point, and should not be overlooked
by Rev. Mr.. SMITH in his promised Sun
day eXpositions Of these very valuable
contributions to our municipal progress.
The GLOBE will watch with great inter
est to see how he handles this sugges-
ton when he gets to it.
In this connection it might be said
that through the efforts of Senator LIE
NAU the city of st. Paul has been au-
thorized to eXpend $4,000 for the con-
struction and maintenance of a free
public swimming bath. Should the
common council cooperate in this plan,
and a suitable and accessible spot
be found for its location, even if we do
continue little below par III goodness,
our rating in cleanliness will be adj
vanced several pegs. These qualities
are so closely related that they are
sometimes thought to overlap each
other

TO COME SOON

If Prof. ToTTEN ever made the state
ment that he had discovered a cryptic
gram or key to the prophetic lntima
tions locating the end of the world about
1896, or before the end of the century,
he recalls it. Prof. ToTTEN is a men,
Der of the faculty of Yale college, con-
sentative and orthodox institution, and
it would evidently not be tolerated there
to have the opponents of culture, lore
and athletic development inculcate so
disturbing conSunmation. The pro-
feSsor does, however, assert as his full
conviction that it is 'proved beyond per-
adventure from the mathematics of
the Biblical data, that the Messiah Will
come before 1900. He understands that
there is to be a millennial period and per-
sonal reign. The last half-century has
witnessed more of the indictments of
life and nature than all the antecedent
eraS, but it had not been supposed that
the conditions were so nearly perfected
for the millennium.

LEGISLATIVE FANCIEs.

With all the attention the late legiS-
lature attracted from supposed fancies
that virtue could be legislated into the
wrongly disposed, its list of enactmentS
will afford scanty reward for material
for the scoffer. 1t will compare favor
ably with similar bodies in any of the
states for the conservatism displayed in
this matter. There has been little null
tiplIcation of dead letter statutes. In
spite of the action of the senate, it is
not believed that any considerable num-
Der Of members in either house had any
purpose to enact the ludicrous conceit
that was given so widespread attention.
Some of the Legislators have attempted
to put in the stocks people of less than
mature years who exercise the perverse
inclination to use cigarettes. The New
York legislature enacted that persons UNI
under sixteen must have the written
consent of parents before investing in
this pernicious article Massachusetts
has attempted to prescribe the posture
and condiments to be connected with
liquid indulgence. Its legislature has
under consideration a bill to allow a
man to get drunk but once IN the year.
On that day he can make fool Of him
self without restraint, so that he does
not interfere with other people. This
reyives the principle of the early pledge
that required the signer to refrain
from all intoXicants except on the Fourth
of July or some other holiday" In Eng
land the house of lords is likely to pass
a bill making it penal otfense to en-
courage minor to bet. Probably it is
to be regretted that laws cannot eradi-
cate all vicious ways and make all peo-
pie morally erect, but there is too much
obstinacy in human nature for success
IL that direction.

President Harrison Will Meet
the Mexicans at EIPaso To-Day.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, April 19.-The
presidential party arrived here at
O'Clock this morning promptly on time.
For the first time since their departure
from Washington they were welcomed
in heavy rain storm. The reception
was most enthusiastic, but under the
circumstances the effect of the liberal
street decorations was, however,
spoiled by the steady downpour, which
necessitated the abandonment of all out
door ceremonies. The presidential
party left here at II o'clock for Ell Paso
amid the cheers of an enthusiastic
crowd. A feature of the reception here
was the general participation of the
Mexican colony.

rIllO, of chihuahua, Mexico, arrived to-
day. accompanied by his staff. TO par

instructed by the treasury department
to permit the entry into the United

bearing side arms and battery of ar
tillery. These officers are coming to
Ell Paso as the representatives OF the
president of Mexico, to pay their re-
SpectS to President Harrison and to fire
salute of guns in his honor.

CHANGES IN KEN UCKY.

Probably the alert and distinguished
editor at Louisville may have had rep
etition of his iIl-fortune in securing
the transmission of an cpistolary epit-
ONE of his mental processes. AT all
events, he is not satisfied with the new
constitution for Kentucky the consti-
tutiOnal convention has Just completed.
The COuuer-JOurnal viii! probably lei al
the sWarming populace to its defeat.
1t has taken six months and cost the
state 500, 900 to erect this new foundation
for state government. Ii is about forty
years since the state has revised its
constitution, and it is interesting to note
some of the indications of the changes
that have been going on. In place of
the old viva voce voting, the conStitu-
ton adopts the secret reform ballot. prob
ably without the laundering feature of
at least one state, that requires every
name on a ballot to be marked All
lotteries are eXterminated or prohibited.
No place can have more than one cleo
ton in year. Watering OF stock is
prohibited. No official can have free
transportation on railroads. and tele-
graph and railroad lines are prohibited
from consolidating. In the main, these
seem to be provisions i'll the line of the
popular thought, but the Louisville OBJ
jector insists that at least 70 of the 100
members had passes i'll their pockets
when they adopted the prohibition. The
only matter of surprise would be that
the other thirty did not have the passes.
If that sort of coincidence were sig
nifcant it would apply to some of the
legislatures. There may be fatally OBJ
jectionable features to the Kentucky
constitution, but the points specially as
sailed would not seem to be of that

investigation and It's

The Lieutenant Governor Re-
membered by the Toga
Wearers.
The Upper House Completes
It's Work in an Orderly
Manner.

The state senate completed its work.
and at quarter before o'clock yes
terday Afternoon adjourned sine die.
The last business transacted created an
animated fight, ana, barring the slim at
tendance of senators, closely resembled
the memorable ope ming of the session.
Tie work of the day began with the
passage of the usual lot of last day reso-
lutions, adjusting salaries and paying the
expenses of investigating committees.
When all of these had been disposed of
the Sergeant-at-armS carried in hand
somely framed group picture of the
legislature and placed it to the right of
the presiding officer. A momen. later
the eloquent Sage of Nininger took his
place beside it and made pretty little
presentation speech, cOmplimenting the
presiding officer and assuring him that it
was slight manifestation of the high
esteem in which he was held by the en-
tire senate.
Il am instructed he said, ito present
this group to our excellent presiding officer
as a slight testimonial of the high regard
every senator has for him.
In future years | trust that in the night a
look at this will recall the voice of the Sena-
tor from Stearns protesting that the passage
of the anti-tights bill will drive capital out of
the state. He may even hear the senator
from Meeker and the senator from Hennepin
paying each other compliments. lie may
hear even a few flashes of silence from the
senator from Dakota, and few words from
such noisy speakers as Senators 'BOrchert,
Guderian and Grinnell.n
Branching off from this humorous
strain the Sage poured out large num-
Der of compliments to the members,
saying:
= 1 believe that this senate is one of the
ablest bodies of men that ever sat in this
state. While we have disagreed, | believe
every disagreement was honest. And now,
Mr.. President, in parting with you desire to
say that you take with you the kindest feel
ings of the members of this body, with the
assurance that you have done your duty
nobly, and trust that your life will be bright
ened by a wish from this senate
Il shall not be able to respond in the elO-
quence of the senator from Dakota said the
lieutenant governor, rising to his feet. but |
can assure you that | feel very grateful for
your gift. l shall esteem it for many rea-
sons. This has been stormy session, per-
haps the stormiest in the history of the state,
but as yonr presiding officer l have endeav-
cred TO decide every question presented to
me fairly and imp6rtially. l appreciate this
gift because of the evidence of friendship it

ground that the men are unorganiZed

Serious Rupture Between POrtu-

guese and British Impending.
LONDON, April 20. = Dispatches re-
eeived here from Durham, South Africa,
show that the Portuguese authorities
are taking a high hand in Mashonaland.
The latest instance of their hostility to
the British interests in that district is
likely to cause a further tension in the
relations between the government of
Great Britain and Portugal. There are
number of British colonists who have
settled in Mashonalanu, and mails des-
tined to them are carried by way of
Beira, a Portugal settlement Some
time ago, on the arrival of the British
mail sacks at Beira, the Portuguese
authorities held them, and re-
fused to allow them to be car
ried to their destination. Great
Indignation on the part of the British
coloniStS has been aroused by this high
handed proceeding of the Portuguese.
Further details regarding the firing
upon the British steamer Agnes, which
was engaged in conveying the eXpedi-
ton under the command of Col. Will
loughbY,an the seizre of the cargo boats
engaged in the same service. show that
Col. WillOughby endeavored to secure
the release of his vessels by the pay
ment of the usual customs duty of per
cent imposed by the Portuguese. The
officials who commanded the force
which seized the boats refused
to accept this payment, and
ordering the British flag hauled down,
hOisted the Portuguese flag in its place.
The Portuguese declare that the British
are excluded from the Pengive river,
which the boats were navigating when
seized, and which is the chief water
route to AIaShonaland. Several of the
British cOlonists have been imprisoned,
and most of the British settlers have re-
turned from the Mashonaland, on ac-
count of the arbitrary action of the Por-
tuguese. There is every evidence that
