DOES ITALY MEAN WAR
MINISTER FAVA RECALLED. IN
GREAT HASTE.
dpecalatle-a KM as la What Tats Aetlaa
Msasw Italy Is la X CoasUttaa fee War,
set It Coars Sswass To Point Thai
Way The Maw Orlaau Affair aa the
Minds of ail.
Wasiiixotox, March 31. Baron Fava
has presented to the state department
liis recall by the Italian government and
has demanded his passport. The de
partment is greatly surprised, because
it was wholly unsuspected, and be
cause investigation Into the New Or
leans matter is not yet completed. The
reason of the recall is that the "King of
Italy is dissatisfied with the progress of
the adjustment between the two
countries with regard to the New Or
leans matter." This action can be con
strucd4n no other way than as an act of
open hostility on the part of the Italian
government to tho United States, with
which it has heretofore been on friendly
terms.
Theories Toacbtac the Kecall.
Wasiuxotox. April 1. The engross
ing topic in all circles here is the recall
or Baron Fava by tho Italian govern
ment. It was a plain act of discourtesy
to this government pending the action of
tho civil authorities of Louisiana relative
to the New Orleans affair, and has de
veloped three theories as to the cause.
One is dissatisfation with the action of
this government; the second is a desire
to get rid of Fava. against whom grave
charges have been made from time to
time, and the third Is a desire on the
part of the new Italian government to
stem the popular outcry in Italy. Tho
massacre occurred on the 14th inst.,
eighteen days ago. Secretary Blaine
immediately issued an appeal to
the governor of Louisana, deploring tho
occurence as a "massacre," and express
ing tho condolence of tho president.
When Gov. Nichols' letter arrived hero
ten days later it was d'plomatic- to the
verge of aggravation. It guaranteed
nothing. This was cabled to Italy by
Fava as the answer of Louisiana. Blaine,
in the meantime, may havo explained to
him tho utter inability of the federal
government to give assurances of the
punishment of tho offenders, because
Louisiana, as a sovereign state, has final
and complete jurisdiction over Its own
people, and that the matter was now
being dealt with in the courts. lie
probably also explained that redress in
the way of indemnity could only be
made by congress, and congress did not
meet until next December. Even then
it was likely to be made a political ques
tion, and the passage of an indemnity
bill belonged to the indefinite future.
This was doubtless unsatisfactory to
Italy and may have precipitated action
taken.
Baron Fava Called Down.
The second theory, that it was a slap
at Fava and not at this government, is
regarded as the more plausible of the
three. Fava has been charged with
many grave offenses, the chief of which
are that he and Consul Klva, of New
York, swindled tho Italian government
out of several million francs upon a con
tract for tobacco; that ho was hand and
glove with the padrons or slavo system,
and that he had even trafficked in the
decoration of the "cross of Italy," which
ho had procured for individuals for a
consideration. All these things havo
made him exceedingly unpopular with
the Italians in this country. The theory,
that Fava's recall may havo been in an
swer to a popular outcry in Italy is also
very plausible. As stated above, Italian
politics are in an exceedingly chaotic
condition, the fall of M. Crispi and the
elevation of Marquis Budini has created
intense dissatisfaction, and the popular
clamor against tho United States by the
impulsive Italians who do not realize
fully the relations existing between the
state and federal governments, may have
led the authorities to order Fava back.
It may have been a combination of these
causes.
Not Likely That Italy Means War.
A demand for passports is tho last
step in diplomacy and is usually followed
by a declaration of war. Such is hardly
the case, however. It is simply tho re
call of the Italian minister. His suc
cessor was not announced as is usual.
This complicates matters and Indicates
that something is being suppressed.
All talk of war is deemed absurd,
from the very fact that Italy is in a cha
otic political condition and is bankrupt
financially. It is doubtful whether Italy
could raise the money to equip properly
the great war vessels which have been
talked about so much. The most astuto
diplomats do not hesitate to pronounce
the action of Italy injudicious, unwise
and petulant. One gentleman who has
been in the service for twenty years said
to your correspondent last night:
Had the incident occurred In any
European government every one would
have expected preparations for hostilities
to follow. The next step is a declaration
or war. But here all Is different: no one
looks for war. We shall have another
minister accredited to-the United States In
Oiort order. It cannot be possible that the
king of Italy should m) far forget what Is
due tho official of your state department as
to set er diplomatic relations because some
of hU subjects are supposed to have been
murdered. We Iiavc all watched the pro
ceedings iu the New Orleans cae with
breathless interest and it f-eems that no
one has yet proved that a single subject of
the Italian king has lo-t his life. Until the
alleslance of the murdered men Is clearly
proven It Is not within the province of any
foreign power to demand redress.
The I'o.ltion or tho Italian Government.
Rome, April 1. Tho Associated Press
correspondent hero has perused all tho
dispatches exchanged from the outset
between tio government of Italy and
the government of the United States in
regard to the New Orleans lynching.
The substance of them is that Italy
asked that fair legal process should be
instituted against the culprits, regarding
them as common assassins. Italy like
wise asked for indemnity for the fami
lies of the men killed in New Orleans by
the mob which invaded the jail there.
The answer from Washington is regarded
as unsatisfactory. Italy instructed
Baron Fava, March 27, to press these
two original demands upon tho United
States government and in tho event of
ids railing to obtain satisfaction to leave
Washington after consigning the care of
tho legation at Washington to the first
secretary. This action on the part of
Baron Fava and his government is not
n-gai deu as a diplomatic rupture. It is
merely the first step towards such rup
ture. This Position Endorsed.
Political circles here fully endorse tho
action of the Italian government. The
.newspapers of this city pronounce them
Velves very strongly against tho action
of the United States government. In
fluential Italians advise tho Italian gov
ernment to send a circular note to
friendly powers denouncing the United
States as being confessedly unable to in
sure justice in the United States and as
impotent to fulfill the duties of a civil
government.
A Novel Proposition.
Other prominent Italians suggest that
the Italian government should break off
all negotiations with the government at
Washington, and that it should in
futur?, so far as the New Orleans
lynching Is concerned, deal directly with
the state of Louisiana, and that the
latter's government should be galled to'
account for the killing of the
Italian prisoners in the New Orleans jail.
Tha Premier's Views.
In the course of an intervlow to-day
with the Associated Press reporter, Mar
quis DeCudlni said ho was personally
most kindly disposed towards the United
States government, and'exprossed the
hope that Jhe civil authorities of the
United States would not fall In their
duties towards society In justice, moral
ity and law. Public opinion, however,
demanded a more energetic course of ac
tion. "If the United State govern
ment." he continued, "does not perceive
(bat it is in the wrong, a diplomatic rap
ture is inevitable." '
Tha Hostages Flasea.
Cpatlnuiag the premier said:
Tjwreaorttaat mwfiraanka taamta-
salted aad arrested ia Italy, aa aa
of the present megotlatloas, to rldleakas
and false. Aaserlcaas have always re
ceived here the best and kindest of hospi
tality, both upon tho part of the Italian
government aad of the Italian people, both
knowing perfectly the duties of a civilised
country.
Berux, April L It Is reported here
that the mysterious warniags seat by
the Mafia society have been conveyed to
King Humbert, of Italy. Ia these warn
ings the Mafia society is said to have de
manded protection from King Huaibert
and Italy for the Italian residents in
foreign countries. It Is further believed,
according to this story, that the recall of
the Italian minister at Washington Is
largely owing to fears for Italian minis
ters, aroused by tho Mafia threats.
Aa laeldsat la Wast Vtraiata.
Parkebsbubg, W. Va., April 1. Upon
the railroad lines known as the Camden
system in the center of the state TOO
Italians are working, and It Is only once
a week that news reaches them. At
Alton the report of the New Orleans
riot was received, and, while the Ital
ians were discussing it amoug them
selves the foreman of the gang, a Scotch
man named McCauley, said the citizens
of New Orleans did just right. The
Italians became enraged and killed Mc
Cauley. They then mutilated his body
In a terrible manner.. The excitement
among the Italians when they read the
particulars of the killing of their coun
trymen was intense. No arrests have
been made.
Tho Oasclal Correspondence.
Washington, April 2. Tho following
correspondence between Secretary Blaino
and Baron Fava was made public by the
department of state last night:
Botal Legation or Italt. Washington,
March 31, 1891. Mr. Secretary of State:
By my two notes of the 13th and 18th Inst.
I bad the honor to call your excellency's
serious attention to tho occurrences of ex
ceptional gravity which took place at New
Orleans on the llth, whereby four subjects
of the king of Italy, who were confined in a
prison of that city, were massacred by a
crowd under the leadership of two Ameri
can citizens. After having formally pro
tested against the unjustifiable conduct of
the local authorities, who were evidently
recreant to all of their duties on that occa
sion. I reserved to the government of his
majesty the right to demand such satisfac
tion as It might think proper, since the
occurrences 1 In question constituted a
patent violation of the stipulations of the
treaty In force between our two countries
which secures to Italian subjects raiding
in the United States the same protection
enjoyed by American citizens, and which
has always been extended to them in Italian
territory.
The reparation demanded by tho govern
ment of the king, as 1 have had the honor
to inform you In our interviews held during
the last few days, were to consist of the fol
lowing points: 1. Official assurance by the
ftderal government that the guilty parties
should be brought to justice. 2. Hc-ognl-tlon,
in principle, that Indemnity is due to
the relatives of the victims.
Your excellency was pleased to declare to
rat that as tho federal government did not
think it could take this view of the case it
declined to take the aforesaid demands Into
consideration. Under these circumstances,
the government of his majesty considering
that the legitimate action of the king's
minister at Washington becomes ineffica
cious, has ordered me to take my leave. In
obedience, I have the honor to announce
that I am going to leave Washington as
speedily as possible, leaving Marquis Im
perial!, his malesty's secretary of legation,
in charge of the current business of the
royal legation. Baron de Fava.
Secretary Blalao'a Keply.
Secretary Blaine wrote to the charge
d'affairs as follows:
Department or State, Washington, D.
C. April 1, 1891. Marquis Imperial! dl
FrancavlIIa. Secretary of Lezatlon: I beg
to express the sincere regret with which the
government of the United States receives
the Intelligence of Baron Fava's speedy de
parture from this capital. Though he has
more than once Intimated this purpose, the
government of the United States has been '
unable to see any adequate reasons forsuch '
step. The baron's service here for the past ,
ten years has been distinguished at all
times by the most agreeable relations with J
the executive department of this govern- ,
ment. Regret at his leaving Is enhanced
when, as the president believes, be has
been recalled under a misapprehension of
the facts by the government of Italy. The
cause of his asunderlng his diplomatic re
lations with this government is thus given
in his note:
"The reparation demanded by the gov
ernment of the king, as I have had the
honor to Inform you in our Interviews held
during the last few days, were to consist of
the following points: 1. Official assurance
by the federal government that the guilty
parties should be brought to Justice. 3.
Recognition. In principle, that Indemnity Is
due to the relatives of the victims."
The first demand thus stated by Baron
Fava Is slightly changed in phrase from
that employed by him In his many verbal
requests based on the telegram from Mar
quis Rudlni, which he left with me. Mar
quis Rudint declared that "Italy's right to
demand and obtain the punishment of the
murderers and Indemnity for the victims is
unquestionable." It Is inferred that Baron
Fava's change of phrase meant no change
of demand. I have endeavored to impress
upon him in several personal interviews
with which he has honored me that
the government of tho United States Is ut
terly unable to give tho assurance wh'ch
Marquis Budini has demanded. Even If the
national government had entire jurisdic
tion over the alleged murderers it could
not give assurance to nny foreign power
that they should te punished. Tho presi
dent Is unable to see how any government
could Justly give an assurance of this
character In advance of a trial and verdict
of "guilty." In tho constitution of the
Unitod States it is declared that "in aU
criminal prosecutions the accused shall en
joy the right to a speedy and pubUc trial
by an Impartial jury of the state and dis
trict wherein the crime shall have been
committed." It needs no argument to
prove that the Jury could not be Impartial
if It were In any sense or to any degree
bound before the trial of the accused, by an
assurance which the president of the United
States had ventured to give a foreign power.
In the constitution of the state of Louis
iana, under whoso Immediate jurisdiction
the crimes were committed, substantially
the same provision is found, so the governor
of that state would bo as unable to give a
pledge in ad vanco for the result of a trial
under the state law as the president would
be, were It practicable to try the leaders
of the mob under the law of the United
States.
In Baron Fava's second point he demands
recognition. In principle, that indemnity la
due to the relatives of the victims. Be is
assuiedly under a grave error when he de
clares that tho United States government
declined to take this demand into consider
ation and I shall regret if he has communi
cated such a conclusion to your govern
ment. The United States, so far from re
fusing, has distinctly recognized the prin
ciple of Indemnity to those Italian subjects
who may have been wronged by a violation
of the rights assured to them under the
treaty with the United States of Feb.
S6. 1871.
I haw repeatedly given to Baron Fava
assurance that under the direction of the
president all the facts and incidents con
nected with the unhappy tragedy at New
Orleans on the 14th of March last should be
most thoroughly investigated. I have also
Informed him that In a matter of such
gravity the governmentof the United States
would not permit Itself tone unduly hur
ried, nor will it make an answer to any de
mand until every fact essential to a correct
Judgment shall have been fully ascertained
through the legal authority. The Impa
tience of the aggrieved may be natural, but
its indulgence does not always secure the
most substantial results.

DUN FOR THE WEEK.
Plenty. Collection Slow,
Tina's Cacortata, Crup R, porta Good.
Nw Yobk, March 28. R. O. Dun A
Co.a weekly review of trade says: If
bo sews is good news, as concerns the
condition of business at this season, the
outlook la fairly satisfactory. Trade has
been rather quiet and hesitating; as is
natural at this season, and there Is
rather more complaint of slow collec
tions, but throughout the northwest bad
weather and the bad state of the country
roads supply an explanation. Money is
In fair and increasing supply, and
though still tight at Salt Lake and
scarce at Jacksonville, and in stronger
demand at Omaha and Milwaukee, Is
almost everywhere easier, so that the
wants of legitimate business are met
without trouble. The outlook for tho
coming crops continues exceptionally
good.
It has been a week of unhealthy spec
ulation in some products, owing to tho
desperate efforts of powerful combina
tions to force p ices of which they can
unload without loss. Wheat rose to
S1.1G? on Monday, and at S1.15JX is still
2 cents higher than a week ago, and
sales here having been 73,000,000
bushels, and corn with sales of 25,000,000
bushels has risen 4fi cents to 7SK cents,
while oats at 59 cents are less than 1
cent higher. Pork products havo ad
vanced, and coffee and oil a small frac
tion each, while cotton is a shade lower.
Tho general average of prices reached
its highest point this year on Monday,
and though now a fraction lower is still
1 per cent, above last week.
But manufactured products do not
share in the advance except in few cases.
Tho iron market has a better tone;
rails are firm but very dull, and manu
factured products are, on the whole,
weaker. Copper is weaker and tin
steady, with lead a shade higher.
Wool is selling steadily at Boston, and
the very large consumption of Australian
is a surprise. It seems due In part to
tho bad condition of many western
fleeces, but in part to the fact that the
homo supply is nearly exhausted. The
carpet works at Philadelphia are fairly
busy and buying freely, many mills hav
ing orders for the season.
At Boston money- is easy and trade
dull because of the weather. Pittsburg
notes some decline in structural iron,
beams and billets. At Cincinnati the
carriage trado is brisk, and at Louisville.
tobacco is largely offered without much
change in prices. Cleveland has a fairly
good trade, but clothing, iron and ore
are dull; only S1S.50 for charcoal iron
but a good lookout for building. At
Chicago, dry goods, clothing and shoes
are dull, thoush sales exceed last year's
for the same week, and tho receipts of
wool are considerably Increased, while
thero is a decrease in flour and lard, and
a decrcaso of one-half in dressed beef.
At other northwestern points trade
is fair, though much affected by
tho weather and the state of the
roads, but slow collections are
the rule. New Orleans finds trade only
fair, but cotton receipts increased; sugar
is dull, molasses stronger and rice firm.
Trade at Savannah is holding its own,
hut at Jacksonville is dull, the orange
crop having been marketed. The out
look for vegetables is good. A note
worthy feature of the south is tho num
ber of new manufacturing concerns an
nounced. The treasury has put out nearly S-V
000,000 more than it has taken iu during
the week, but part has gone abroad.
Tho business failures occurring
throughout the country during tho last
seven days number 250, as compared
with a total of 275 last week. For the
corresponding week of last year the fig
ures were 213.
NOSTRUMS CO UP.
Na More Cutting Prices Upon tho Coun
try's Patent Cure-All.
New York, March 23. Tho manu
facturers of patent medicines are of the
opinion that the public who buy the stuff
are not paying enough money for it, and
they are combining for the purpose of
putting up the retail price. The last big
combine of the manufacturers and drug
men was in 1884, and was known as the
Campion combine. It lasted just one
year. It was finally broken by the liege
man corporation and Wm. B. Hiker t
Sons, of this city, and other large drug
concerns in other cities.
The present agitation to boom the price
was begun by tho retail druggists last
November, and was quickly taken up by
the manufacturers. An associa
tion was formed in January
known as the National Whol'
sale Druggists, with L. M. K!in
a Philadelphia druggist, as chairman.
The plan is to charge retailers the full
retail price for all medicines. To each
bottlo of medicine a coupon is to bo at
tached, which is to be torn off and pre
served by the druggist when the bottle
is sold. Clearing bouses are to be es
tablished In the big cities, and these
coupons are to bo presented there at the
end of every month, or overy three
months, with the affidavits of the drug
gists that the bottles that bold the med
icines to which they were attached were
sold at tho full retail price. The cou
pons will be purchased then for 20, 33 or
50 per cent, of the retail price of the
medicine, and that will be the druggist's
profit on his sales. Detectives aro to be
emplopcd to ferret out the men who cut
rates and to report to the clearing house
officials. Their testimony will destroy
the value of the coupon. The following
table shows the wholesale price of tho
medicines, the retail price, and the price
of tho cutters:

Last night Miss Coates, who was of
unusual beauty, and not quite 18 years
of age, was seized with convulsions and
died iu less then two honrs. Just before
her death a lengthy letter to her family
was found in her clothing. This letter
admitted that she had committed suicide
by poisoning, and revealed the cause of
self-destruction, but her parents abso
lutely refused to show the message to
her lover, or the authorities, except that
portion of it which detailed with minute
clearness her arrangements for the sui

funeral.

The tall giraffe with rapture glows
As he swallows his wisp or hay.
And he blesses his neck as down it goes.
For he tastes It aU the way.
He Called It a Joke.
Says a New York writer: I have a
friend who is one of the most talented
young men in the west. The other day
he came into my office and made a cold
blooded bluff about taking me out to
lunch, at the same time flashing a $100
bill before my astonished eyes. I took
him up, right then and there, of course.
Wo went to the Richelieu and ordered In
the neighborhood of SIC worth of food
and drink, and pitched into it as If we
hadn't had anything beforo for twenty
years. It was a safe bet that this re
markable exhibition of generosity meant
thatl was to be called upon to give up
something, and, sure enough, I was.
"By the way," ho remarked, as ho was
lighting his cigar, "by the war old man,
I want to get you to do something for
me."
"All right." I replied promptly. "A
friend who blows you off to a S10 dinner
is entitled to a soft answer. Whatis It?"
"I hato to ask you," he went on, puf
fing slowly at tho cigar. "I'm devilish
diffident about asking favors of my
friends, but you can do this, and I don't
think that It will give you very much
trouble. You know I have never struck
you for any kindness, as long as we havo
known each other."
"That's so," I answered. "Go ahead,
I'll do anything I can for you."
"Well, you see," ho went on, ''it's
like this. I am no," he broke off sud
denly. "I can't bear to ask it of you."
There was real tears In his eyes.
"Don't let yourself be disturbed, old
fellow," I cried, very much affected
"Remember I'm your friend."
"No, I can't do It," he said, when he
had recovered his composure. "I can't
bring myself to ask you right to your
face."
By this time I was very curious to
know what the trouble was. and so I
proved a soft mark. He had counted on
that.
"No," he continued. "I can't tell you
to your face. Perhaps I might be able
to write it down and go out of tho room
while you read it. Will you promise not
to look at it until I get clear outside?"
Of course I promised. What else
could I do? So be wrote four or five
words on the back of tho wine card and
handed it to me. Then he shook my
hand effusively, said I would never know
how grateful he was to me for my kind
ness and went out dissolved In tears.
When ho had shut the door behind him,
and not till then, I unfolded the card,
and this was what he had written:
"Please pay for tho lunch."

Old School Discipline la Germany.
A queer case of school discipline has
lately attracted attention in Germany.
The teacher of a village school, who car
ried on the business of extracting teeth
to incrense his paltry incomo, utilized
bis dentist skill for tho discipline of re
calcitrant pupils. Eight boys were by
him deprived of teeth, which he thought
they could get along better without than
with, as a punishment for gross disobe
dience. The parents of the pupils caused
this odd disciplarian to be prosecuted for
doing bodily Injury to their offspring,
but the charge was dismissed because
the teacher proved by expert medical
testimony that instead of banning his
pupils he had actually benefited them.
This style of discipline, however, has
been prohibited.
