| ROME, April 16.-Marquis di Rudini in
the chamber of deputies to-day was ques-
toned in regard to Mr.. Blaine's answer to
the last communication the United States
secretary of state had received from the
italian premier, on the subject of the New
| Orleans lynchings. The Marquis, during
| the course of his reply to the interroga-
ton, said that Italy could not admit the
| irresponsibility of the United States in re-
gard to the acts of the single states of the
Union. This was question, he added,
which interests every civilized government
| as we'll as Italy.
In conclusion, the marquis said that he
did not fear political difficulties between
Italy and the United States, but it was a
| matter of regret that so highly civilized
country as the United States should not
fulfill the duties of justice and morality.
This concluding remark of the Marquis
di Rudini was greeted by an outbreak of
general cheering and other applause.
In political circles some disappointment
is expressed with Mr.. Blaine's reply to the
Marquis di Rudini. It is characterized as
t'vague" and 'inconclusive" and as insist
ing merely on the status quo.
In the course of his reply to the inter
pellations the premier said that on learn
ing of the certainty that four of the
lynched men were Italians, the italian
government Immediately directed the at
tention of the United States to the matter
and received from that government salts
factory assurances, which were after
wards personally confirmed by Mr.. Por-
ter, the United States minister. The
premier then read the telegram which
President Harrison sent to the governor
of Louisiana on March Is, and, added that
the Italian government, like President
Harrison, demanded that the guilty par
ties be brought to justice, and that in
demnity be granted to the families of the
victims. AS the action of the United
States, continued the premier, had not
correspondent with its promises the Italian
government was constrained to demand
formal assurance that the guilty parties
should be denounced, and that the title to
indemnity should be admitted in princi-
pie. The United States government, how
ever, failed to give this assurance, replying
that the constitution of the United States
did not permit the federal government to
interfere in state affairs.
DETAIL OF NEGOTIATIONS
The premier then proceeded tc give
detailed account of the negotiations be-
tween the italian and American govern
ments, ending with the order to Baron
Fava to take his departure on leave of alb
tility of diplomatic action. The Mar
quis Imperiali was instructed to state
that the incident would not be closed I'M
til the federal government had explicitly
declared that legal proceedings
against the lynchers would prompt
ly be begun. Premier di Rudini de-
clined to make statement regarding Sec
rotary Blaine's note (Which, he said, he
had not yet received) until he had read the
text of the paper. He expressed himself
as being confident of the ultimate settle
ment of the whole matter in a manner
favorable to the rights of Italy and of
those of all civiliz ID governments, all of
whom were one tn Italy on the points at
issue. lift were proved to be impossible
| to obtain favorable solution of the
problem. grave complications would not
| arise, but he would deem it mat
| ter of profound regret that the people
of the United States, so advanced in civil
zation, should show themselves far re-
moved from the principles of right and
| justice, universally proclaimed and scru
timents of the premier were loudly
| cheered.
At the conclusion of the address the in
terpellators expressed their approval of
the conduct of the government and as
being satisfied with the explanation made
by the premier.
RUDINI INTERVIEWED.
After the adjournment of the chamber
of deputies to day an Associated Press cor
respondent waited upon the Marquis di
Rudini and asked him if it were possible
for him to give an opinion for publication
in regard to the reply of the secretary
of state, Mr.. Blaine, to his, the Mar
quis di Rudini's last note on the
subject of the New Orleans 1ynchings. In
reply the Marquis di Rudini said in sub
stance that the cabled summaries of Mr..
BIa:ne's reply, which had been sent to
Rome and which he had seen in the pub
lie press of this city, were too brief and
otherwise inadequate to enable him tc
form definite opinion, much less give an
opinion for publication, even if he fell
justified in adopting the latter course Of
action. The marquis added that he pre-
ferred not to say anything further while
awaiting the receipt of the full text of Mr.
Blaine's reply, except that he was
now and had always been since o.
reaching friendly solution of thu
1 of ha-
tween the italian government anc
! the government of the United States
Through the full correspondence given on
in Washington was telegraphed to Londol
by Reuters Telegram company, and wa
published in the English papers, only
summary was telegrephed from London t.
the Italian papers on account OF their dis
inclination to pay the tolls from Londol
for the full correspondence. This explain
the above remarks of the Marquis d
Rudini.
