Protest from Bimetallists.
ST. LOUIS. April l7.-Some days ago the
Merchants Exchange received an invita-
ton from a similar organization in Mem
phis to send delegates to a sound money
convention TO be held In that city. This
morning local paper stated that dele
gates were to be chosen by the board of
directors. and this brought to the front
the bimetallists. A protest signed by TWEEN
ty-nine members was addressed to Pres
ident Booth, to the effect that the ex-

MASSEY Received No votes.

DOVER, Del, April 17.-For the first time
since the senatorial deadlock began, Mas
sey failed to receive a vote to-day. Other
wise there was no change in the situation
To-day's ballot resulted as follows: Hig-
gins. Republican, 81 Addicks, Republican. 5;
Pennewill. Republican, 8; Ridgely. Demo-
crat 8; Bayard. Democrat, 1.
Speaking for himself and Senator Moore
who left Massey and voted for Pennewell
Republican, to-day, Senator Pierce says:
II was approached by Winfield Squigley,
of Wilmington, who said that Mr.. Massey
could never be elected Senator. Now, we
are DESTROYS of electing Senator, and so
we voted for Mr. Pennewiil.'' The
change Is regarded as a furtner indication
of disposition on the part of the Repub-
lican members to elect a Senator. The Hig-
gins and Massey men have now shown the
example of dropping their favorites and
voting for some one else Only the Adj
dicks men, with the single exception OF
Representative Morgan, have stood firmly
by their favorite from the start. Politi-
clans are puzzled at to-days situation, but
are generally OF the opinion that an agree
ment is likely to be reached in a short
time.

Gresham,s NcEotintfons with Italy.


WASHINGTON, April 17.--An attempt
was made last year, as disclosed in the dip
lomatic correspondence of the State Depart
ment, to negotiate treaties of extradition
and naturalization between the United
States and Italy. So far, however, the eff
fort has proved futile, mainly because of
radical differences in the legal systems of
the two countries. The insurrnountable OBJ
stacle in the case of the extradition treaty
was the insstence by Italy on the exemp-
ton from extradition of Italians who might
commit crimes in America and then return
to Italy. which Secretary Gresham held
would defeat the main purpose of the treaty.
In case of the proposed naturalization
treaty, the objections made by our. govern
ment were to the Italian contention that
former Italian subjects returning to Italy.
although naturaized in the United States.
could not claim exemption from military
service Then the Italian government pro-
posed that naturalization should be con-
ferred only on persons who applied there
for, and this was also rejected by Secretary
Gresham on the ground that 1t would ex-
clude Italian women married to Americans
and minor children of naturalized Italians
who by our law become American citizens.

New Rules Regarding the Right of
Forced to Repeal a Tax.

WASHINGTON, April 17.--Officials here
profess to have no information as yet re-
garding the instructions sent to British war
vessels for the enforcement of the ulti-
matum against Nicaragua. Those in posi-
ton to understand the status of affairs,
however, express the belief that the Brit
ish instructions are on the following lines
First-There shall be no exercise of force
which will affect the commerce or. interest
of the United States or her citizens, or OF
other foreign countries.
Second-The exercise of force shall be
confined to the execution of q passive
blockade of Nicaraguan ports, according
to the established rules for that maneuver.
The passive blockade is designed to
cripple the internal commerce of Nicaragua,
and yet leave all foreign commerce to pro-
coed as usual. 1t does not contemplate any
overt act or any seizure or detention of
property. But the war ships bring to a
standstil the local or coastwise trade and
keep it thus paralyzed until satisfactory
response is given. The merchant ships of
the United States and other countries would
be free to come and go and care would be
taken that no cause should be given for
United States Intervention the ground
that United States interests were in jeop-
ardy. The last time this passive blockade"
was executed was against Greece ten years
ago. At that time the allied powers of
Europe, except France, agreed to suppress
the action of Greece in beginning war on
Turkey. The various countries sent war
ships which blockaded Grecian ports and
held all coast commerce in check, until
Greece yielded
Sir Julian Pauncefote, British embassa-
DOR was at the State Department at noon,
but it was said the visit was not in refer
ence to the Nicaraguan situation. as the
British Foreign Office is dealing directly
with Nicaragua. Some authorities on inter-
national law hold that passive block
ade is equivalent to a reprisal and subject
to the rules of reprisals. Tie finances of
Nicaragua are in such shape as to raise
serious question of her ability to pay the
indemnity demanded assuming she was
entirely willing to meet Great Britain's de-
mand-
So far as the State Department knows,
Great Britain has not rejected Nicaragua
proposition made in answer to the British
ultinatum. The British embassy and the
Nicaraguan legation here were also at a
late hour this afternoon without informal
ton on this point, although they have
taken steps to ascertain the truth. 1t IS
still believed here that Great Britain will
not act hastily in the matter, and at the
State Department there is an impression
that no serious trouble will ensue.

No Rest for the wicked Lottery.

WASHINGTON, April lit appears from
the published diplomatic correspondence
that the United States government has been
pursuing the old Louisiana Lottery Com
pany into Honduras, and using its best eff
forts to prevent the establishment of a
lottery scheme there. A little over year
ago acting Secretary Adee, of the State
Department. addressed a letter to the
American charge in Honduras. inclosing a
petition from citizens of Louisiana on the
general subject of lotteries and pointing
out to the Honduran government that the
old Louisiana Lottery Company, driven
itself up in Honduras and use that country
as base for the dissemination of its cir
culars and tickets in the United States
Mr.. Adee writes that this would seem to be
a subject of which the neighboring and Of
Tended States should take notice, and, there
fore, brings the matter to- the notice of the
government Of Honduras

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE French
government has sought in vain TO prevent
the exclusion from the American mails
of a large number of their newspapers that
publish advertisements Of government

it was a governmental institution and was

Little Haiti BuIIdoxed by Gresham.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE State De-
partment has checked in its inception an
attempt made by the Haitien government
to impose discriminating tax on American
citizens and other foreigners residing in
Haiti The proposition was under consid-
Grafton in that country as long ago as Au-
gust. 1893, and bill had been framed by
the government to that effect when the
matter was reported to Secretary Gresham
by Mr.. Durham, then United States minis
ter. Secretary Gresham Immediately en-
tered most vigorous protest, pointing out
that the proposed law would be in direct
conflict with the treaty which guaranteed
that Americans should not be subjected to
any tax not imposed on .Haitiens There
upon, according to the American minister's
statement, the government abandoned its
contemplated action.

For Cheaper Vegetables.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Truck-farm products are too dear for
many people in the city, the poor espe-
cially, to buy large quantities; were they
obtainable cheaper far more would be con-
sumed. Washington is full of boarding
houses, the rates of which could be re-
duced were farm and dairy products cheap
er. In towns of the south everybody, no
matter how poor, cultivates garden
patch realizing therefrom extravagant
quantities of best vegetables at almost no
cost, and observation of the unfortunate
condition of city people when contrasted
with that of rural and town southern peo-
pie inspired the following idea:
1t is unnecessary that truck-farm prod
ucts be unobtainable by city people of lin
tied means cheaper and in larger quanti-
ties. Suppose people of moderate means
as proprietors of small boarding houses,
trades people, etc, dubbed together by
tens, thirties OF fifties, rented and culti-
waited good truck farms near Washington
two present items in cost of vegetables
would be annihilated. the producers and
the retailers profits. E. B.
