What Is Said Here.

Members of the National Bimetallic
League in this city express the opinion that
the action of the California branch in op-
position to the National League is the re-
suit of split in the California League.
They say that the California association
was organized prior to the national Or
ganiZation. but that afterwards there was
a disagreement in the league which re-
suited in q division, one faction being
headed by the president and the other by
the secretary. The local national league
men are of opinion that Gen. Warner, as
president of the National League, has
recognized one of these factions, and that
the other on this account has taken po-
sition antagonistic to the national organi-
zatiCn.

THE DEMAND UPON SPAIN.

The position taken by the Spanish
government relative to Secretary Gresh-
ans demand for an apology in the AL
lianca affair is in accordance with the
Journals suggestion that his action, if
not hasty, was at least too peremptory.
In reply to a question propounded in
the Spanish Chamber of Deputies the
Minister of State said that the govern
ment had ordered a full Investigation of
the affair to be made. and that its action
would be shaped according to the facts.
The dispatch says the Minister declined
to make any further statement or to
attempt any explanation of the Incl
dent until complete details and the re-
ports of the Spanish officers of the gun
boat which it is claimed fired on the
Alliance are received. In other words.
Spain will decline to apologize on q
one-sided statement of the case. This
is no more thar reasonable, for while
the statements of the captain and Off
strong prima facie case for demanding
an explanation from Spain, she ould
hardly be expected to apologize until
she has satisfied herself that an offense
has been committed and ascertained it's
character and extent.

for this position. For example, in 1891.

THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT AND
PROTECTION TO FOREIGNERS.


A Washington dispatch says that the
officials of the State Department. We're
somewhat surprised at the action of
Baron Fava, the Italian ambassador. in
communicating directly with the Gov
ernor of Colorado respecting the protec-
tfon of Italians in that State. 1t was
added with much solemnity that This
course was irregular, but it is not prob
able that any official notice will be taken
of the matter" 1t is to be hoped not,
for it would give the Italian embassa-
dor an excellent opportunity to call att
tention to the inconsistency Of the United
States government on the question of
protecting foreigners.
Four years age when a trouble arose
between Italy and the United States on
italian subjects by a mob in New Or
leans the Italian minister, then, as now,
Baron Fava, on the day of the massacre
delivered a written formal protest to
Secretary Blaine. The latter expressed
his deep regret at the occurrence and
telegraphed to the Governor. of Louis
lana urging that the ~violators of the
law be brought to justice. In reply the
Governor justified the deed. Two days
later when the Italian minister called
at the State Department to protest anew
against the inaction of the local authori-
ties Mr.. Blaine reminded him that the
officers of the federal government had
no constitutional power of interference
with the administration of justice in
any State. A long and spirited diplo-
~z-&s. pzr1~---l - --l:1I-
the Secretary of State firmly maintained
the position that in a matter of this
kind the federal government could not
interfere with the States and could only
urge the local authorities to execute the
laws. Finally, upon instructions from
his home government. the italian min
lister left Washington, the United States
minister left Rome, and for a time diplo-
matte relations between the two coun-
tries were suspended.
In the light of this experience it is not
surprising that in the present instance,
involving precisely the same question,
Baron Fava should have communicated
directly with the Governor of Colorado
instead of filing his protest with the
Secretary of State only to be. assured.
as he was four years ago., that the fed
eral government could not interfere. 1t
required a good lea of correspondence
and some pretty plain talk on the part
of Mr.. Blaine to make Baron Fav I'M
derstand this in 1891, but he seems to
have learned and remembered 1t. He
evidently thought he would save time
nj perhaps secure better results by
communicating directly with the Gov
ernor of Colorado, and while his action
may have been somewhat irregular, it
was businesslike. Under the circum-
stances it would hardly be wise for the
State Department to take official notice
of Baron Faya's action,

leans, Mr.. Blaine declined to be hurried
in the matter or to give any pledges or
assurances of reparation until he la
investigated the case. He finally gave
a written declaration acknowledging
the full obligation Of the United States
as regards full reparation for n viola
ton of the treaty between the two coun-
tries which may have occurred but he
added that mo full examination of the
case had been made and the law off,

words, the United STATES government in
sisted upon time to investigate and as
certain the real facts in the case. Evil
