Washington, August 2-such steps rs
have been taken by the United States
government toward the arrest Of persons
IN this country who may have been
connected with the assassination OF king
Humbert, We're not instituted at the
formal request Of the Italian government.
the Italian Rmbas sador, Baron Faya,
communicated unofficially on this sub
iec; with the United States government
and as matter Of international comfy
tire government put In motion such ma
chinery as il has In command TO discover
Bresci's coconspiratogs, If there are such
IN this country.
In preliminary way some attention
has been given TO the possibility OF
pur shing any OF Brescis accompices
here. and It is confessed that there will
be much difficulty met in reaching them.
The laws relative to conspiracy are local
and fhe underlying principle Is that the
overt act must have been committed with
in tbs particular state ia order to afford
Jurisdiction 10 the State courts On the

the cOnspirators could be delivered to

sponsbility for their protection rests
upon tho Chinese government. Power 10

This is Insisted upon.
This message was delivered by Mr..
Goodnow ON the 3lst to Viceroy Ii, who
then inquired whether, II free communi-
oation were established between the min
ssters and their governments, II could be
arranged that the powers should not ad-
yance ON Pekin pending negotiations.
ITO this inquiry the following reply was
sent on lat OF August; 'Goodnow, Consul
General, Shanghai: l do not think il ex-
pedient to submit the proposition OF Earl
Ii to the other powers. Free communi-
cation with our representatives in Pekn
lie demanded as matter Of absolute right
and not as a favor. Since the Chinese
government admits that 1t possesses the
power to give communication, IL puts It,
self IN an unfriendly attitude by denying

the Chinese government shall have put
the diplomatic representatives or the
powers IN 1uil ana Tree CVlum uhiNaNivi'

TO advise the imperial authorities of China

cation and corporation with the relief

responsibility in acting otherwise.
