ITALY MAS NO CLAIM.
MIR. Bayard Says There is No Law Giving
Them Indemnity For the New Orleans
Lynching.

MIR. Bayard Says There is No Law Giving
Them Indemnity For the New orseans
Lynching.
Ex-Secretary of State Bayard when
asked on Monday for his opinion of the
killing of the subjects of the King of
Italy at New Orleans on Saturday, Said
in substance: "From the newspaper re-
ports of this event there is nothing upon
which the Italian government can base
a claim for indemnity. The disturbance
was purely local and there was no
affront Offered to the representative of
the Italian government. Neither was
there any discrimination between the
citizens Of the United States and those ]
of Italy, bad as it was, all were used
alike
When asked if the settlement in the
case of the massacre of % Cinnamon at
Rock Springs, Wyoming territory, Sep
TENDER I'd, 1885, afforded a precedent ,
for a claim for indemnity in this other
case, he said:
mo, think not, the cases are not
similar. II is very doubtful if the per-
petrators of the Wyoming outrage were
American citizens. 1t occurred at q
place and under circumstances that
made ii impossible TO afford the Chinese
protection from the lawless miners who
assaulted them. In the settlement of the
Chinese case the United States govern
ment agreed to pay the bill of S147,-
T48.74 which the Chinese government
rendered, hut it was especially stipu-
lated that the payment should not be
understood as an acknowledgement of
official obligation in the matter. The
money was paid as gratuty and not
as under obligation of treaty or princi-
pal of international law, but solely from
sentiment of generosity or pity to aid
an innocent and unfortunate body OF
men,
Mr.. Bayard called attention to the atti-
tude of the United States government in
the settlement of the claim of Spain for
indemnity for an assault made on the
Spanish consulate in New Orleans dur
ing the year 1850. He said: ''Nothing
could be clearer than the enunciation Of
on that occasion. Willis !
such outrages as disgraceful
and in criminal violation of law and
order it was emphatically denied that
the acts in question created any obliga-
ton on the part of the United States
arising out of the good faith of nations
toward each other for the losses thus
occasioned by and to individuals. AS in
the case at Rock Springs there is no
parity between this latter case at New
Orleans and that of 1850.
"rhe fact is" said Mr.. Bayard, "these
people are given the same protection
hat is afforded to American citizens;
he courts are open for them and iudg-
nent is impartial, Further than that
he United States has no liability. These
outbreaks Of violence are part of the
common risk to which all people are
liable and which it is impossible to pre-
'ent. There is no obligation of law or
ustom of which am aware that makes
he United States liable for indemnity
r reparation in this case.'

After Five Years.

Young Smithers hadn't visited the
family for five years, and now, as he sat
IN the parlor where the servant had
ushered him into, his thoughts naturally
went back to the time when last he had

called the faces of his friend and his

A WEDDING oc .urred at Springfield the

of sensation owing to the conflicting

being Roman Cathlic and the groom an

has been brought up in the Hebrew faith
while his bride is commitment in the
