PROTECTION or FuREIGyEBS

| President Mckinley recommends
{ courts jurisdiction in cases of violence
against the citizens of foreign countries
in the United States where the ultimate
responsibility of the federal government
may be involved. He refers to the lynch
ing some months ago in Louisiana of
Italian subjects, which it appears is still
being investigated by the Department
of State, with view to determining the
citizenship of the victims and says that
the recurrence of these distressing
manifestations of blind mob fury
directed at dependents or natives of a
foreign country suggests that the con
tingency has arisen for action by con-
gress in the direction of comforting upon
the federal courts jurisdiction in this
class of international cases"
Attention is called to the views of
President Harrison in his annual mes
sage of 1891, prompted by the lynching
of Italians in New Orleans. which
brought about a rather serious mis-
understanding between Italy and the
United States. The demand of the
Italian government at that time for in
demnity, there being no question that
the men killed by the mob were Italian
subjects, was met by the statement that
the federal government was not re-
sponsible and that the Italian govern
ment must look to the state of
/ siut 60, ,,,1,,,
guilty of the murder and for reparation
Thereupon the minister of that govern
ment at Washington was recalled and
for Il time the friendly relations be-
tween the countries was impaired but
an understanding was effected by which
our government paid an indemnity. In
the later case there is a question
whether all five of the Italians lynched
were subjects of Italy and when this
is determined our government will
doubtless do what it shall deem to be
fair and just in the matter, so far as
indemnity is concerned.
This is all, however, that the federal
government can do. 1t is pOwerless to
punish those who committed the crime.
While promising in its treaty with Italy
the same protection and security to the
citizens of that country as are given to
its own citizens, it has no power TO
punish murderers of Italian subjects, so
that really the lives of citizens of for
eign countries domiciled here get no Sc
curity whatever from the federal gov
ernment. There ought to be no ques-
ton as to the eXpediency of the legisla-
tlon recommended by President McKin>
ley, in support of which he presents
some very cogent reasons.

The departure from San Francisco last
Saturday of the Forty-ninth infantry tcol-
ored) was a picturesque and pathetic event.
The San Francisco Call reports that "all the
| bellies of colored society were down to the
wharf to see the soldiers away. There was
considerable delay in getting the men aboard
the transport, and during the delay the
band played a cakewalk Immediately every
soldier within hearing began to fldget; then
their feet began to shuttle and in a few
minutes couple OF hundred of them were
dancing away for dear life. 1t was the best
cakewalk ever seen in San Francisco and
the officers OF the transport service and the
men on the Warren watched the perform
ance with the keenest interest. The men
used their guns as walking sticks and their
file man a partner and gave an exhibition
that would crowd the Mechanics pavilion
every night for a month. The soldiers had
only just finished fve-mie tramp in heavy
marching order but every one of them was
ready to dance as soon as the band began to
play. Even when marching up the gang
way aboard the transport they kept UP the
dance and only stopped with the music -
The pathos of the parting was rudely spoiled
by a gutter band, which came upon the
scene merrily piping, "Ah Doan Cab Eff
Yo' Nevah Com Back"
