have been told that this would bring

The Hot-Headed Italians Suddenly Quiet
Down Wonderfully.
ROME, April 20,-The discussion OF
the New Orleans affair in the chamber
of deputies Thursday has had an excel
lent effect in bringing about a complete
understanding between the TIA ian gov
ernment and the representatives Of the
people, and all are now agreed that
while an attitude of National dignity
and determination must be preserved
for the honor of Italy and the satisfac-
ton of her people, the present aspect of
the case is satisfactory so far as it goes,
and proper solution of the difficulty
will Ultimately be reached. At the
same time the original puzzle of cross
pu rposes, in the reft rences to the treaty
rights OF Italian subjects in the United
States and the immediate bearing Of
the treaty upon the present business is
not yet solved, and continues to be an
occasion for further negO iations.
The Marquis di Rudini, in his an
swers to the interpretations to the gov.
ernment p; esented by members of the
hOu e, declared that he had demanded
of the United States government only
the application of the American laws,
and he rendering of a regular judg
ment on the New Orleans matter in the
courts, whatever may be the issue Of
the legal Irocelure, and that he en-
plOyed the same words in his demand
upon MIR. Bla ne as were used in Presi
q ent HarrisOn's message through the
secretary OF state to Governor Nicho s.,

Hoie for the Best.
The premier expressed the hope that
American ,ivihZat:Ol and justice and
Italian mOdera in and patience wuuiU
ultimatel result in an amicable solut Oh
of the complication now existing. lie
added that the question at issue is
diplomatic only and not atall pol tical
one. Signor MariIazzi, de uty for
Palermo, expressed entire confidence in
the hrmnes Of he cabinet, viii at the
same time exercises cOmmendable
moderation. Signor Luchini, deputy for
Sien, took note of the questions being
diplomatic only, and to be conducted
under the rules Of international r ghts,
and he gave notice that he will offer a
resolution to the effect that the cabinet
had taken the ue groun in the con
trOVelsy when he had asked what the
message of Sec etay b a'ne to Governor
Nichols itself had declared to be the
legi innate points of the question.
1t is evide t that the misunderstood
ings which have surrounded the matter
will be soon disspated, and the Marquis
of Rudini and his interpellaters have
agreed to avoid any debate concerning
the inoportune step which was taken in
permitting Baron Faya to leave Wash.
