Secretary Gresham Advises an italian Con-
sui to Employ Counsel

Secretary Gresham Advises an italian Con-
sui to Employ Counsel
Secretary Gresham has notified the italian
minister Of his belief that moneys deposited
with italian consular officers may be attached In
satisfaction Of q legal Judgment During the
recent naval celebration Enrico Berti. New
York coal dealer, contracted to supply the Ital-
ian feet with coal, and guarantee of good
faith deposited $1,000 in the Office Of
the italian consul general Salvatore Qua
dagno, another merchant, undertook to
attach this money to satisfy a
Judgment Of s2oo against Berti. The italian
counsel refused, however. to receive the at
tachment paper, saying that under the treaty
with Italy the consulate was invioiable ground,
and that he. as an officer Of the italian govern
ment could not be served with any legal pro-
cess. In the course Of correspondence Secre-
tary Gresham sent long letter to the dis
trict attorney at New York asking him
ance in the matter, as the department
wanted to avoid friction If possible. Since
then the Secretary has written a letter to Baron
Fava. the Italian minister, explaining that the
object Of the proceeding taken by Gusdsgno
is not to seize or attach the specific sum Of
money deposited with the Italian consul gen.
eral, but to notify the consul general that after
the contract with the italian government shall
have been performed to its satisfaction the
money in his hands shall not be returned to
Berti. bit shall be applied, so far as necessary,
to the payment Of Guadagno's claim.
"You, of course. understand" the Secretary
says, "that the action already taken by this
department in this matter has been altogether
unofficial and has been for the purpose OF pre-
venting, SO far as lay in its power, any annoy
ance to your government or to its representa-
tives. The department has no authority to
determine what are the rights Of the parties
concerned OF to stay the course of judicial pro-
ceedings. But whether the consul general,
under treaty provisions. ia entitled to disre-
gard the notice which has been given him,
and whether, consequently. he viii be liable to
Guadagno if he should disregard such notice
and return the money in his hands to Berti, are
questions which the courts alone can de-
termine. If it is desired to have judicial de-
termination of these questions the court from
which the notice issued will no doubt pass upon
them should they be raised venture to sug-
gest that in order to facilitate the presentation
Of those questions 10 the court, if such a course
Is deemed advisable, it would be well for the
consul general to employ counsel"

THE HOUSE COMMITTEES.
No Understanding Between the President
and Mr.. Crisp About Them.
Some Speculation as to the Fate of the Propo-
sition to Repeal the Sherman Law
in Congress.

It is generally taken for granted that the
Sherman law is to be repealed, and the specula-
tion az to the construction Of the House COM
mittees is generally based upon the assumption
that the silver men are going to be turned down
in the formation of the financial committees.
There is a great deal of talk about Mr.. Bland g
not going again at the head OF the committee on
coinage, weights and measures Ap-
parentiy there is no warrant for this talk.
1t is based upon the assumption that there is
some sort of understanding between Mr. Crisp
and the President on the subject Of
the formation OF the committees and
the policy Of the House. The STAB
has satisfactory authority for the statement
that no such understanding exists and that
the President has not committed the i'm
propriety OF attempting to dictate as to the
House organization There appears to be
no reason to doubt that Mr.. Bland will
remain in his old place at the head Of
the coinage committee and that the committee
will be organized much as it was before. The
assumption that the Sherman law can be voted
down by the House has its proper basis in the
fact that number Of members who would not
vote for Its repeal during the last Congress will
do 30 this time, in view Of the present financial
and commercial disturbances.
MAJORITY FAVOR REPEAL.
1t Is believed that q majority Of the members
OF the House are now in favor Of the repeal Of
the law, and if this is SO . bill for its
repeal will pass the House regardless
OF who may be chairman of the com
mittee on coinage, and a committee could
not make 1t otherwise IL there were still q
majority in favor OF retaining the law or sub
stituting free coinage for it The rules of the
House will In all probability be such as to
permit majority to transact bust
ness, without any arbitrary assumption
OF authority on the part Of any one, and If this
10 the case a majority will have the free
way to act as they believe to be wise,
and the only assurance Of the repeal
Of the Sherman law lies in the ap-
parent necessity for its repeal and the
general weakening Of the silver men which ia
supposed to have followed recent events in the
financial world. Enough members have been
found to favor the repeal to warrant the
belief that repeal bill can pass
the House. II is believed also that
a bare majority Of the Senate would vote for
the repeal but there the mode of procedure is
different, and with a determined opposition,
such as will be offered by the leading silver Sem
ators, vote may be delayed indefinitely or even
the proposition defeated, though there may be
a majority in favor Of striking the Sherman
law from the statute books. A fair guess is
thata bill repeating the law may pass the House
promptly, and that it may then stick in the
Senate for long time, with the possibility that
free coinage bill may accompany it as An
amendment when 1t goes back to the House.

DOUBTLESS TRUE.

That Russia Proposes the Establishn.se
of Naval Station at New York.
No official intimation has been received by
this government Of the intention Of Russia &c
establish q naval station on our eastern csast,
with headquarters at New York, but IL is not
doubted that such is the case. II rs not peces-
sary in such cases for application 10 be
made TO the government for permissios to
establish a naval station, ami as q fact the
Russian government has had one or more ves-
sells in the neighborhoo6 Of New York fos
several months past II is not believed thaf the
establishment Of Russian naval station Oh our
coast is Of any wsrlike import, but merely Q
part Of q general scheme patterned upop ths
English plan OF having convenient stations in
different parts OF the globe.

ment of q dividend of 40 per cent to the credit

LAW, BUT NOT JUSTICE.
A Sailor Who Served Twenty-Five Year
Denied q Pension.

A Sailor Who Served twenty-five Years
Denied Pension.
That man shall serve the United States
government on board Of naval vessels for nearly
a quarter Of century. that he shall earn q
pension, but that it shall be denied him on the
ground that he is not a citizen Of the United
States, is one of the legal anomalies that is
vexing the Navy Department The sailor
in question supposed that he was q
citizen of the United States and the depart
ment took the ground that his continuous serv-
ice of twenty-five years entitled him to the pen
sion provided by Congress. But the treasury
officials decided that he could not be pensioned
because he had never taken out naturaliza-
ton papers, and 1t was in vain that
the Navy Department showed that it
was impossible for the sailor to do this
while in continuous service, as it would
necessitate his residence ashore for term Of
years. A soldier who serves one enlistment is,
by law regarded citizen, and the Secretary
OF the Navy will ask Congress to extend that
law SO as to cover the navy.

Americans In Siam.

Secretary Gresham yesterday received tele-
gram from Rev. DR.. Gillespie, representing the
Presbyterian mission board. inquiring what
provision will be made for tho safety Of the
Presbyterian missionaries in Siam and the
numerous children in their charge. The
Secretary has replied that it is not feasible or
necessary to send man-of-war to Siam. and
suggests that the missionaries will be protected
upon application to the United States consul
gene raj at Bangkok. The U. S. S. Concord, now
on her way to China, will be in that neighbor-
hood in the course OF two months.

forcible remarks, CraZv partisans
might have plunged the country into
civil war had not the sane men of all
parties agreed TO create a competent
body TO pass upon the disputed
questions involved and to abide by
its decision. Democratic and Re-
publican votes united in creating the
commission and clothing it with
power, ard the partisan who persists
at this late day in setting up his per
sonal opinion Of the law and the
facts against its verdict, only makes
it known that he is less sensible and
less patriotic, even in these cooler

gress of both parties were in excited
days, when they carried that decision
into full effect. That President eleci
Cleveland stands with the patriots OF

EXPIATION.

Alfred Stout expiated on the gal
lows yesterday, with his own, the
taking of another mans life, of which
crime against society, a jury OF
twelve impartial men had declared
him guilty. While the evidence
upon which he was convicted was
solely circumstantial, yet in weight
and cumulative character, it equalled
positive testimony in its fatal force.
While it is to be regretted in view OF
the character of this testimony, that
the righteousness OF the verdict was
not confirmed by his voluntary con-
fession of guilt, yet the fact that
Stout showed nerve enough to meet
death with sealed lips, does not in
our opinion inyalidate the correct
ness OF the verdict. And this view
We think an intelligent review of the
facts OF the case will sustain.
Ir this connection however, we
only have time and space, to con-
gratulate the people Of Cecil county
upon the excellent judgment and
good sense shown by Sheriff Nc
Kenney and his efficient Deputy
Mr.. Mackey, in the performance Of
disagreeable duty.
Stout's execution was in every
sense private, orderly and decorou3,
and in'strikingly respectable contrast,
to recent turbulent and disgracetul
scenes enacted in Maryland

FARMS, HOMES AND MORT
CAGES,

One of the latest bulletins issued
from the Census Bureau relates TO
statistics upon farms, homes, mort,
cages, ownership and debt in Mary
land. The facts presented are eX
ceedingly suggestive and not little
favorable to the people Of the
commonwealth. There is debt and
mortgage and incumbrance upon
ownership in the STATE, but there IS
less OF them than in many other
localities.
Nearly 63per cent, of the farmers
OF Maryland own their farms and
only 81 per cent, rent the land upon
which they work. Of these who own
their farms 70 per cent, own free OF
iucumbrance and 50 per cent, own
subject to incumbrance. To put
these facts in another way: Among
100 families in Maryland living on
farms Al own the land free from in
cumbrance, 10 own it under mort
gage indebtedness and 81 hire their
farms. This is a good showing and
speaks well for the profits of agri, ul-
ture as a whole IN Maryland.
The mortgage Indebtedness on
the farms of the state amounts to
SI2, 1851 or 5S.49 per cent, OF
their value-a little more than The
total state debt. The average rae
of interest on farm mortgages is 5 10
per cent, and the payment of
interest requires sos per year TO
CHI family indebted. II is also
stated that each mortgaged farm IS
worth on the average S4,25t, and is
subject to debt OF $1,000
These figures show that the farmers
o. Maryland are in fairly good cIrcum
starces as compared with those IN
some of the Western States. Such
Indebtedness as there is bears moder
ate late of interest, and the mortgages
Tor the most part are in amounts
relatively small to the value OF the
farms,
In the revival of industry which is
manifest in all parts of the state, the
farm Indebtedness Of the commonwealth
ought to be gradually paid off, until
husbandmen in Maryland are virtually
free holders as in days of old.-Bahi-
more Herald.
