The record-union., 1891-03-16
tizens when temporarily under foreign juris-

InlS telegram was the result of a con-
ference between the President and Secre-
tary this afternoon, Baron Fava, the Ital-
ian Minister, having previously called on
Secretary Blaine and earnestly protested
against the killing of his countrymen, de-
mandlng at the same time protection for
all other Italians in New Orleans.
Baron Fava, in his protest to Blaine, said
the authorities of New Orleans had not
only failed to prevent the meeting, which
had been publicly announced and was
known to be hostile to the Italians, but
also held an attitude purely passive dur
ing the massacre. he said he was Obliged
to reserve for his Government the right
to demand any and all reparation it
Judged necessary.
Third Assistant Secretary of State Ade,
speaking of the matter tonight said
This case is without precedent in the
diplomatic history of the country. Of
course l cannot predict the outcome nor
discuss it. 1t it not easy to predict what
will be the course Of procedure.
Il cannot see" said Representative
Morrow of California, show this affair
can become an international issue. The
vengeance of the mob was not directed
against the Italians as a race, but rs
band of supposed murderers, who escaped
their deserts by the miscarriage of Justice
1t seems to me the only action to be taken
is for the relatives of the dead men to sue
the ground that the city failed to furnish
proper protection. It was not a race riot
i'll any sense Of the word.'

CATION.

!

local officials in New Orleans, and that
Mr.. Blaine, the American Secretary OF
State, expressed horror at the acts of the
New Orleans mob, promising that he
would Immediately make known the
orders of the President in the matter, and

MEETING OF ITALIANS IN CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, March ia large and rep
resentative meeting of Italians was held
here this evening TO consider yesterdays
doings at New Orleans. Dr. Volini, the
presiding officer, delivered an impas-
stoned address, calling for reparation by
the United States, and saying that if JUS
tice be not rendered, full and prompt,
Italy will speak, even with the voice of
her guns. This was received with tre-
| mendouS cheering.
Editor Malata of L'Americd said the
outrage has no comparison in the history
of any civilized nation. He disavowed
| sympathy with the vendetta, but asked
why the New Orleans authorities per-
mitted ParlSerson to assemble thousands
OF citizens and harangue them to point
| OF murder.
Charles Barry said the fact that prom
! lnent men took part in the massacre
makes it doubly infamous.
q. Almag1a of L'ItGlid said he had per-
sonally seen all the victims of the mob,
and believed them innocent of the crime
charged. The people who have no re-
spect for their laws or the verdicts of
their own juries," said he, s'are worse
ic, lol
and Italy should send a fleet over here to
command respect and assert the rights OF
her citizens"

editorial on the New Orleans kill

tragedy has never been committed
