The Marquis Imperiali , Charge d' Affaires of
Italy.
THE REPLY OF THE MARQUIS.
Washington, April 12, 1892.
Mis Excellency James (r. Blair.e , Secretary of
Sta te:
Mr Secretary of State— You were pleased
to inform me by your note of to-day that the
federal government had decided to pay to Italy,
by way of indemnity, tbe sum of 125,000 francs,
to be distributed by the Italian government
among the families of the royal subjects who
wi re victims of tbe massacre hicii took place
March It, itilii, in the city of New Orleans.
Your excellency also expressed a hope that
the and. ois.on reached by the President would put
an end to the unfortunate incident to which the
deplorable occurrence gave rise, and that
friendly relations between the two countries
- would be firmly established. After having
taken note, with much pleasure, of
the language used by tbe Presi
dent in his mes, age of December last, and after
having fully appreciated the words of regret
and censure uttered with so much authority by
the chief magistrate of the republic and like
ise tbe recommendations of congress that were
suggested in bis lofty wisdom by tbe unhappy
incident, tile government of Ids majesty is now
glad to learn that the United States acknowledge
that it is their solemn duty and at the same
time great pleasure to pay an indemnity to
Italy. The king’s government does not hesitate
to accept this indemnify without prejudice to
the judicial steps which It may he
proper for the parties to take and considering
redress obtained sufficient, it sees no reason
vhy tbe relations between the two governments,
wuickrelations shouli faitbfull reflect the
sentiments of reciprocal esteem and sympathy
tl&i animate the two nations, should u t again
brco;,.,. intimate, c. rdlal ami friendly, as they
have traditionally been in the past,and as it Is to
1* hoped they will ever be m the future. In
bringing the foregoing to your knowledge, in
virtue of tne authorisation given me
by M excellency, the Marquis di Rudini, presi-
I rot of the counoil, minister of foreign affairs,
f the name of the government of his majesty
the King of Rally, my august sovereign, I nave
t t honor to declare to your excellency that
diplomatic relations between Italy and the
Inited States are from this moment fully re
established. I hasten, moreover, in obedience
to instructions received, to inform you, that
pending the minister’s return to this capital, I
bam taken charge of tho royal legation in the
capacity of charge d'affaires. Be pleased to ac
cept, etc., Imperiali.
BLAINE’S ATTITUDE EXPLAINED.
It appears that ths government of the
United States has voluntarily taken the
initiative in closing the breaeji and without
committing itself to the recognition of any
claim for indemnity, but simply as an act
of justice, and from motives of comity has
placed in the hands of tbe
Marquis Imperiali $25,000 for distribution
among the heirs of the three Italians who
were killed at New Orleans and were found
to be subjeots of ths Italian government.
It is understood that the money was taken
from the annual appropriation of SBO,OOO to
enable the President to provide for
unforeseen emergencies in the diplo
matic and consular service, so that
II will be unnecessary to call
upon congress for a specific approorla
■:m. By this action on the part of the
vnuod States government disagreeable
complications in the relations of the two
jPvernments, it is believed, have been re-
Woved and within a short time diplomatic
uiations between them will bo restored to
w amicable status existing before the New
Mans tragedy, Minister Porter returning
. I w°nie and a mnlster from Italy taking
P his residence at YV osblngton.

KILL’S FIGHT FOR ROCKWELL.
The Senator Trying to Save Him De
spite the Elections Committee.
Washington, April 14.—Senator Hill is
laboring hard to make good bis boast that
his lieutenant, Mr. Rockwell, would not be
turned out of his seat as the representative
of tbe Elmira district in the House in spite
of the recommendation of Chairman O’Fer
rall and twelve of the fifteen members of
the committee on elections. In his desire
to keep Mr. Rockwell in he even continues
his personal intermeddling in the House.
Henutor Hill spent an hour to-day in
Speaker Crisp’s room talking with various
democratic members whom be seut for,
most of whom were supposad to be favor
able to Mr. Rockwell’s reteutiou. Senator
Hill was especially happy over the
fact Mr. Culberson of Texas, chairman of
the judiciary committee aud one of the legal
authorities of the House, was one of those
who was willing to plan with him how to
circumvent the elections committee, Sena
tor Hill recognizjd the fact that Mr. Rock
well’s case needs such support as Repre
sentative Culberson can give badly, and
has spared no pains to enlist Air. Culberson’s
Interest.
CULBERSON’S LEANING TO HILL.
Since Mr. Mills wa3 elected to the Senate
over him by what Mr. Culberson, like Sena
tor Hill, regards as autl-H.ll influences, Mr.
Culberson lias leaned more to Senator Hill
than ever, and was tho more willing to
help out St; ator Hill’s man in
his extremity. Senator Hill is
very confident that by Tuesday , when tho
case is called up m the House, be will have
secured a majority to prevent the unseating
of Mr. Rockwell. Senator Hill has coun
seled a resort to quorum breaking and fili
bustering if Mr. Rockwell can bo saved in
no other way, but Mr. Gillespie of Pennsyl
vania, one of the two members
of the elections committee who re
ported in favor of Mr. Rockwell
and who will have charge of Mr. Rock
well’s case on the floor, says that he will
not countenance suob action. Mr. Gillespie
sincerely believes that Mr. Rockwell was
elected. He will try to convince the House
with the arguments which have convinced
him. Tnen he wiil accept the decision of
tbe House without demur.

Young, executive clerk of the United States
Senate, was to-day officially notified by
Hon. Anson G. McCook, its secretary, that

of Life at Fifty.
Jackson, Mils., April 14.—The lowest
estimate placed on the loss of life in the
flooded district is fifty, all of whom are ne
groes. Most of the damage is in the vicin
ity of Columbus, which is on the
banks of tbe Tombigbee, but more
than 3,000 families in the counties
of Lowndes, Monroe and Noxubee
are reported homeless and suffering for ths
necessaries of life, which are being supplied
now by private subscriptions. A similar
overflow occurred in 1874. but the waters
are now even higher than then, aud suffer
ing is bound to follow unless congress
heeds the appeal for assistance.

NO MISERY AT ATLANTA.
Tbe Reports of Slckneeß and Des
titution Declared Untrue.
Atlanta, Ga., April 14.—The sensa
tional reports sent out from here declaring
measles epidemic in Atlanta and great
suffering in the factory districts are en
tirely without foundation. Such reports
are indignantly denied by the operatives
themselves, investigation shows that the
reports grew out of a few case* of measles,
no more than usually found i:i a thickly
settled locality. The statements about the
dead remaining unburied and all that, are
absolutely without foundation.
A Negro Preacher Shot.
Swainsboro, Ga., April 14. —Jack
Parsons, a negro preacher of this towu,
was shot and killed on the railroad, about
half a mile from town, yesterday

ing free coinage of silver. Immediately
there was an uproar and the convention,
which had been unusually quiet during the
afternoon session, bscamo turbulent. Con
groseraa i Bryan spoke in favor of his reso
lution, declaring it to be good demo
cratic doctrine and one of tho planks of
the platform on which Gov. Boyd was
elected. He was supported by delegates
from the western part of the state, where
the independents are stronger, but other
prominent leaders of the party were against
him. After a hot debate, lasting
three hours, the roll was called. The pilver
men, believing they wero victorious, raised
a great shout. When Chairman

time, but finally quiet was restored, and the
result of the vote a i announced was verified.

The state executive oomrnittee of the
G’orgia state alliance meet here to-night
and passed resolutions of great political im
portance to the south. For some time past
the couuty alliances and suballiances
throughout Georgia have been indorsing
the People’s party movement under the
direction of leading alliancemen,
who are also third party lead
ers. This is in direct conflict
with the constitution of the alliance, which
prohib.ts anything like politioal action. Tbe

FUSION WITH THE REPUBLICANS.
Atlanta, Ga., April 14.—The indica
tions point strongly to a fusion between
the republicans of the state with the third
party. Unless something now not looked
for by those who have made the pro
gramme happens, it can be stated almost as
a positive fact that the fusion has been
agreed on. To-day the republican conven
tion met here to elect delegates at large to
the Minneapolis convention. The meeting
of the state convention, which brought to
gether republicans from every corner of the
state, is expeoted to ofllolally ratify the
fusion with the third party that
has been rumored since the
now movement v-as inaugurated. At
a caucus of the executive committee and
other republican loaders held secretly last
night, a resolution providing for the fusion
was adopted. Subsequently, however, tho
caucus rescinded its action and then tabled
the resolution. The intention is to work
secretly and there will probably be no
further action by the convention, though
the speeches made to-day by the repub
lican leaders had an unmistakable fusion
tendency. A well-known white repub
lican is authority for the statement that,
tbe third party and the repub
licans will aot together in the
state elections this fall. He said
further that this was well
understood by tho members of the conven
tion, who would as quietly as possible give
the fusiou movement shape wbea thoy go
back home. The man who gives this in
formation has voted the lenublioau ticket
all bis life, but he says he wiil eland by the
agreement and vote for the third party
candidate this fall.
The convention accomplished nothing to
day. The candidates for delegates seated
by the officeholders are A. E. Buck, Walter
Johnson, Bill Pledger and L. M. Pleasant
of Savannah. P.. R. Wright of Savannah
is making a bitter fight to bre.ilt
the slate and obtain one of
the delegates’ places. Walter Johnson
of Columbus withdrew from tho contest
during the afternoon session in favor of
W. W. Browu, who is also fighting to
break Buck’s slate. Rumors were afloat to
the effect that the convention would put
out republican candidates for state offices,
with T. F. Johnson of Savannah as the
candidate for governor, but this will not
be done unless tbe fusion programme Is
broken, and this is not probable.
TURNER AT WAYCROSB.
Waycross, Ga., Aprii 14. —Congressman
Henry G. Turner arrived here this morning
from Douglas. He was mot by the Turner
receotion committee aud escorted to the
Hotel Phoenix. He desired to take a rest
until to-night, but it had been announced
that ho would speak at 11 o’clock, and rather
than divaupoint the people he agreed to
make a short address. He was introduced
to the audience by Hon. Samuel Johnson as
follows: “It affords me great pleasure to
introduce to you a gentleman whom we all
esteem very highly, a gentleman who has
represented us in congress, and whom wo
delight to honor, the Hon. Henry G.
Turner." Mr. Turner arose amid great ap
plause. He said: “I am greatly indebted
for the expgesiiion of such kind aud generous
words, especially on account of the fact that
whatever has been the opinions of my polit
ioal opponents. I have stood truo to the
people whom I represent, and true to the
principles of Jeffersonian democracy. The
times are said to be out of 4 lint. 1 have not
found it so. Strauee and divergent currents
have sprung into existence, but the old
party is in good trim. It is tbe
duty of the people of the south
to stand true to the principles they
profess. Tbe principles of the farmers’
alliauce are dear to every freeman’s heart.
But when tbe alliance met at Ucala and
lramed that platf rm with its sub-treasury
plank, with its danger* and perils, they did
that which no prudent citizen would con
sider. The cry is that there is a scant cur
rency. If you will make a comparison be
tween 1800 and the present time, when
trade was on a good foundation, our com
merce on every sea, our manufactories flour-
ishing and prosperity was most abounding.
Ton will see that at that time tho money
per capita amount to #U 06 against $24 03
at t e present time. It'sii’arly twioe as
much as it was then, the trouble is that
money is collect -d from all over ths country
and disbursed in one section of the country.
It is in the money centers of the north.
Ihe only remedy is to correct the maohine
and leave the money among thosa who
earn it by the sweat of their brow." Mr.
Turner then to k up the tariff and dis
missed It throughly. He made sovoral apt
Illustrations showing the necessity of tariff
reform and closed amid great cheering.
To-night n special train arrived from
Brunswick bringing a large number of
people to attend tho speaking. A large
delegation came in also from (Juitman.

to call the executive oomrnittee to meet

There are but few third party men in this

joyed by the United Slates. Mr. I'helps,
tbe American minister to Germany, un
officially spoke to Baron Marschsll von
Biebersteln, secretary of state for foreign
affans, in favor of San Domingo, and the
result was to call forth a torrent of adverse
criticism from tho German press. The

matter, o untrue tbe aation of Mlnie

pleased to terra “American overinsurance,”
and ail tho editorial utterances are in a sim

many spiteful tlDgs at the United .State*

his interview with Baron von Bleherstein,
assured the secretary that ha oame to him
spontaneously, and uot by any Instructions

testing against tba actions of the German
government ho said that, it was ungenerous
f r a great power like Germany to force a
little couutry like bail Domingo to
conclude treaties with the Gorman
government against the will of the United

the Uuited {States government exercised a

nevertheless Germany only claimed tho
rights in regard to the matter in question
which were already recognized.

A HOOK IN THE RECORD.
HENRY GSORGE’B WORK ON THB
TARIFF RUN IN,
Several Members Combine to Run In
Several Chapters and the Result
Will Be the Reproduction of the En
tire Work-Mr. Burrows Calls At
tention to the Fact.
Washington, April 14.—1a the Hous
to-day Mr. Burrows of Michigan, rising to*
quostion of privilege, otlled the chair’s
attention to a speech published in tbe Heo
ord this morning purporting to have been
delivered by Mr. Stone of Kentucky. To
five lines of his own remarks Mr. Stone ap
pended five chapters from Henry George’s
book ou *’ Protection or Free Trade)" These
chapters run from 21 to 26. 1 here seemed
to bo something prec inverted about
this, continued Mr. Burrows. Ono gentle
man had quoted the chapters from 16 to 28
inclusive: another (Mr. Washington) had
quoted chapters It to 15; another gentleman
(Mr. Fithian) hail quoted fr im ohapter* 6 to
10; another gentleman had quoted from
chapters Ito 5. In other words under leave
to print, there had been published the en
tire volume of a copyrighted book except
three chapters. Those, he presumed, would
lie forthcoming to-morrow. [Laughter.]
When one member left off at one
chanter it was taken up by th
next and t ey had succeeded
in getting in the Record the entire volume
of a copyrighted book to be distri uted at*
the public expense. His_ point of order
was that under tho leave granted
to members to print remarks in
the Record it was not in order to
say simply “I desire to submit a certain
volume as expros-ing my views," and then
publish a printed book in tho Record. If
that was in order the republicans had sev
oral volumes they desired to publish.
THE SPEAKER POWERLESS.
The speaker said that, as tbe chair under
stood the practice, this had always been ai
question determined by tho llouro itself.
The House must decide whether a member
had violated the privileges granted him un
der leave to print. Leave to print always
covered extracts. How extensive they
should be, the ohair could not determines
Tbe House must, dec' 'e it.
Mr. Burrows thought that the chair waa
perfectly right in his ruling, and in or
dsr to test the sense of the Uous
ho moved to strike out of the remarks of
Mr. Stone all that Henry George said in
bis copyrighted book. After some discus
sion, in which many Instances were cited
that were open to similar objeoti'm, nota-8
bly extracts from Seoretary Blame's book.
“Twenty Years In Congress,” Mr. Burrow*
withdrew his motion end offered in lieu
thereof n resolution referring to the com
mittee on printing those portions of tbe Rec
ord con tai ing chapters of Henry George!*
book with instructions to the ooininlttow to
report whether by the insertion of said mat
ter in the Record the privileges of the Uousa
had been violated.
Mr. Fithian of Illinois moved to table
Mr. Burrows’ resolution. This was agreed
to by a vote of 119 to 70.
THE NAVAL BTLL.
The naval appropriation bill was then
taken up in committee of the whole. The
pending amendment was one offered by Mr.
Boutelle of Maine for the construction of
two seagoing coast line battleships at a cose
of not exceeding $4,000,000 each, and ten
torpedo boats at a oost not to exceed $120,-
000 each. The Secretary of the Navy is
authorized to readvertiso for propo-als for
the construction of one swift torpedo cruiser
of about 750 tons displacement, and tha
limit of oost is extended to $512,000, exclu
sive of armament.
HERBERT FAVORS IT. #
Mr. Horbert of Alabama, who is In charge
of the bill, spoke in favor of the provision
of tho bill providing for the construction of
one armored orul-or of tbe general type of
the New York. He believed that this wo#
the only vessel that should be provided for
at this time. There were at present twenty
four ships, twelve of them urmored, author
ized and not completed. The o umiittoa on
naval affairs was of the opinion that*
it should be the settled policy of congress to 1
authorize the construction of ono or miirs
new vessels at each regular session until its
had provided a considerably larger number
of fighting ships than it now had. Mr.
Boutelle spoke in advocacy of his ameni-*
ment.
Mr. Boott of Illinois opposed it.
Without aoMon, the committee rose andt
the House adjourned.

CIRCUIT COURTS OF APPJALS.
The bill to “amend tbe act to establish

the seutenoe amounted to peoi entfary im
prisonment for not less than a year.
Another was to limit appeals from the

additional judges of the oourt of claims and
one for tha establishment of two divisions
of the oourt with three judges to each.

went into executive session and soin alter
ward adjourned until Monday.
