ANOTHER PERSONA NON GRATA.
Cleveland's Consul General to Vienna No
Likely to BE Received There.

Cleveland's Consul General to Vienna Not
Likely BE Received There.
WASHINGTON, April 2-Cable messages
from Vienna stating that the enti-Semitlc
organizations and other bodies in that
city are vigorously protesting against the
reception of Max Judd, of Missouri. o
Hebrew citizen of the United States and a
native of Austria, nominated and con-
frmed as Consul-General to Vienna. have
necessarily recalled the Kelley incident of
Mr.. Clevelsnd's previous administration in
connection with the same country. The
anti-Semitic feeling, it will be recollected +,
played an important part in the refusal of
Austria to receive Minister Kelley, and re-
suited In the practical suspension of
diplomatic relations between the two
countries for over year.
Anthony NJ. Kelley, a citizen of Rich-
mond, Va. was first selected by President
Cleveland and his Secretary OF State. Mr..
Bayard. as minister to Italy, but was de.
claIed persona non grata by tho King of
Italy. on account of some very strong
opinions he had publicly expressed as TO
the overthrow of the temporal power of
the Pope by the Italian government Re-
signing as minister to Italy on this objec-
tion being made known. Mr.. Kelley was al
most Immediately nominated minister to
Austria. Here another almost equally
fatal objection was encountered. Mr. Nc
Lane. then our minister to France, cabled
Mr.. Bayard May %. 1885. that Mr.. Keiley's
position in Vienna would be difficult. if not
impossible, in consequence of the fact that
his wife was Jewess. To this intimation
Mr.. Bayard replied that Mr.. Kelley had al
ready sailed. and that "the United States
could not constltutionaily admit. consid er
or discuss any supposed disqualIficatiOns
of its officers based npon religion"
Later in the correspondence this obiec-
tion was supplanted, according to q dis
patch from United States Minister John NJ.
Francis. dated Vienna. June IL. 1885. by the
statement of the Austrian Minister of For
eIgn Affairs. that "the alleged fact that his
Keiley'sl wife was Jewess did not influ-
ence the judgment of his MaJesty's govern
ment In the premises" but 1T had been
guided by the fact that a friendly govern
ment. near neighbor, had objected to him
as the United States representative at its
court"
Mr.. Bayard. however. persisted in holding
that the fact that Mr.. Keiley's wife was q
Jewess was the controlling influence. In O
dispatch to Baron Sch8ffer. the Austrian
representative at Washington, of about the
same date. he said: THE only objection as
signed by Count Kalnoky to receive Mr..
Kelley being the religions faith Of the lat
ter's wife. was answered by my note of
May lS."
The upshot of the whole affair was that
Mr.. Kelley was shuDted off to Egypt as one
of the judges OF the international court
there. which position he still retains; that
the Austrian minister in WASHINGTON was
given indefinite leave of absence, and that
the United States did not appoint another
minister TO Austria until the government of
that country itself made the first advances
more than twelve months afterwards. In
view of the facts standing out so promi.
nently In the diplomatic correspondence of
the United States it is being asked whether
the selection of Hebrew citizen of the
United States for the important position OF
cOnsul-general In Vienna was intended to
renew the former cause of discussion or
whether il was merely an accident.
