same recourse to the courts that an Ital-
ian subject enjoys. The only excep.lon
is in connection with political rights. In
the case of Italians residing in the United
States, the treaty assured them the
same rights and protection given to
American citizens.
State Protection Is Weak.
But unfortunately this expression OF
the treaty, so far as it relates to Ital-
ians in this country, is somewhat theo-
retical, for under the American system
which limits the federal authority over
states the central government is not able
to give effect to the guarantee laid down
by the treaty. We fully recognize the
difficulties Of this situation, which has
been as apparent to the statesmen Of
this country as to those Of Italy. We
have hoped this would bring about the
enactment of a law which would permit
the federal government to carry out the
guarantee Of treaties This would be
genuine remedy of affairs similar to those
which have occurred in Louisiana and
Mississippi, and would prevent the period
icaI agitation over cases arising in the
states IT these cases arose they would
be assured of attention under the fed
eral authority with careful regard for
the execution of treaty obligations.
More Than Money Involved.
"Since the recent lynchings at Erwin,
Miss, there has been more or less dis
cussion of the payment Of a money in-
demnity. But in the view Of the Ital-
ian government the question of indemnity
does not enter into the case. There has
been no suggestion coming from u.s. much
less demand for cash indemnity to
the government. The Italian government
does not seek blood money. At the same
time the families of the victims, who are
the ones most directly affected, are nat
urally willing to listen to suggestions OF
a monetary indemnity, and when these
suggestions are voluntarily made by the

PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, February 2S.-A retro
grade movement on a moderate scale
marked the early course of the grain
and hog product markets to-day. Pro-
| visions at the close showed no recov-
cry, being from &c to 12Rc under yes
terday's final figures, but the grain
markets received better support on the
dip, cor closing Bc higher, oats I'M
changed and wheat-the easiest OF the
grains-Ac lower.
May wheat, having opened unchanged
to a shade lower at 7oBc to 76@76Bc,
declining during the first hour to 1880
under moderate sales by commission
houses and generally bearish pit trad
ers. Persistent buying by a leading
elevator firm finally had the effect Of
alarming shorts and a sharp rally to
76kc took place. Liberal seaboard
clearances and moderate primary re-
ceipts, together with reports of the APP
pearance of fly in Central Illinois, also
combined to make the bear contingent
somewhat uneasy, but their pessimism
was too deep to attach much impor.-
ance to anything advanced by the bulls
as consequential, and despite the efforts
of the agents of the elevator concern
to sustain the market was hammered
back to 1850, at which it closed, lie
under yesterday. Exporters reported
seven loads taken for export. Sea-
board clearances in wheat and -four ag-
gregated 465 eco bushels, while pri-
mary receipts reached a total of 494, 900
bushels compared with SIS, 600 bushels
last year. Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ported zS2 cars, against 351 last week
and $50 a year ago. Local receipts
were 60 cars, four of contract grade.
Business in the corn pit was on a
fairly liberal scale. The market eased
off early under heavy pressure from
the bear leader and selling by the
crowd in sympathy with the decline in
wheat. The persistent buying of an
other operator, however, and the rally
in wheat. caused covering by shorts
later and the close was firm. May
sold between 41c and 40A 0403sc and
closed 1sc higher at 40Bc. Receipts,
1856 cars; eight of contract grade.
Transactions in the oats market
were fairly large, but the market fol-
lowed the other cereals. May sold be-
tween '25h@25%c and 25%c and'clos-
gu uACHdASeo dI Io72c' Teece4pIS "ele
1875 cars.
In provisions the activity was
chiefly in lard, which was sold literally
by packers. Pork was freely offered,
too, and the close was heavy. May
pork sold between $14.1215 and
s14.021a, and closed 12ac lower at
S14. 021z; May lard between $3.50 and
s7.42h@s7.45, closing 7M@10c down
at s7.4212 GS7.45, and May ribs be-
tween $7.07k and s7.0O@s7.O2k. with
