Nkw Yokk, May 22. — The Herald
makes public to-day for the first time the
inside history of the diplomatic contro
versy between Italy and the United States
growing out ofthe lynching at New Or
t leans. It publishes extracts from the
I Italian green-book containing documents
I submitted by Marquis di Rudini,
Premier to the Italian Parliament,on
I April 30th. In an interview with Fava,
; which is also spread upon tho pages of
tlie book, Blame says the I'nited States
j will not receive orders from any foreign
Government, and that he will stand by
: tiie Constitution. In a letter of March
27th to Rudini, Fava says:
"As Blame did not communicate with
me on the 25th inst., according to prom
ise, I called on him yesterday, and heat
once complained that I was hurrying
hi bain B manner entirely contrary to
diplomatic usage. 'I do not recognize the J
right of any Goi ernment,' he continued,
to tell the united States what it should
; do. We have never received orders from
i any foreign Power, and we will not be
gin now. Please inform Marquis di
Rudini tliot the Federal Government
cannot give an assurance of what be re
quires, and that it is a mattes of total in
-1 difference to me wbat persons in Italy
i think of our institutions. I cannot
; change them, still less violate them. The
I fact is Marquis di Rudini does not gi\e
lus sufficient time. You assure me that
i four Italian subjects have been massa
| ered, but I have my doubts on that point, |
as I am informed they were mixed ti}> in
some scandalous eleetond transactions.
Still I don't contest their nationality, but j
while I ask for time you want an official
declaration on the spot. Well, 1 will not
i do anything ofthe kind, and you may do
ss you please.' While Mr. Blame was
; speaking," continues Baron Fava, "I did
; not breathe, and when he had finished
I I told him that the Italian Government
did not intend to interfere with the in- i
tcrnal affairs of the United States and that I
the Marquis di Rudini did not intend to j
give any orders to the United States Gov
ernment."
FINANCIAL.
Public Interest Unabated In the AfflUra
of the Sprlnjc Cordon r.ank.
Phii,ai>ki.i,iii.\, May 22.—Public inter
est in the sensational developments in
the affairs of the Spring Garden Bank :
and the Keystone Bank, the flight of the
indicted President of tho latter institu
tion, and the resignation from office of
City Treasurer Bardsley, continues un
abated to-day. William IT. Wanamaker,
one of MarshCS bondsmen, this morning
offered a reward of §1,000 for the arrest of
the fugitive, and has employed a detective
to run him down. An attachment was
taken out this morning against the Brad
ford Mills, ot which City Treasurer
Bardeley is owner, by two of tlie sureties
on his bond.
This morning Bardsley made an assign
ment of all his property for the benefit of
the city.
The Clearing-house due bills issued by
the Keystone National Bank and given
Bardsley at various times that $990,000
of the State moneys were deposited, are
not worth the paper they are written on,
unless the assets of the bank include
more than the deposits as shown by the
; ledger. These due bills are issued to the
banks belonging to the Philadelphia
! Clearing-house Association for the ac
j commodation of depositors.
If Bardsley, when he received the
Clearing-house due bills from the Key
stone National Bank, had immediately
re-deposited them, the bills would have
been presented at tlie Clearing-house
the next morning, and if the Keystone
Bank had been a creditor to the amount
ofthe bills they would bave been paid.
Bardsley knew, or should have known.
that by keeping the due bills he was
simply speculating upon the solidity of
the Keystone Bank. The bank is not at
this time a creditor at the Clearing-house
to the amount of the due bills now held
by Bardsley, and they are therefore
worthless.
At the office of the United States
Marshal this afternoon it was stated that
the rumor tiiat Marsh, the absconded
President ofthe Keystone Bank, had b< en
arrested in Montreal, liad been investi
gated and found to be without founda
tion.
MAXWF.I.CS FATE.
Probability of Ills lie ject lon as Chief]
ofthe Hortieuiturai Department.
Chicago, May 22.—President Baker
and the directors appointed to investi
gate the charges made against Max well,
who is nominated for the Horticultural
Department, held a meeting to-day to ex
amine the papers in the case. As a re
sult of that conference it is probable that
the Californian will be formally rejected
by tiie board. The protests registered
against Maxwell were of the most vigor
ous kitid.
Said one of the directors: "It is claim
ed he was thoroughly incompetent to
take charge of the work. His friends
tiled a counter charge that the opposition
to Maxwell was prompted solely upon
sectional grounds. That is not so, for tlie
protests tiled are from nearly every part
of the country, including California,
Maxwell's own State. His friends are '■
coming on to make a light for him, but T
don't think they can do him any good."
POLITICAL.
Congressman Spi-Ingrer Being; Boomed
for Speaker.
BbXDOKPORT (Conn.*), May 22.—This
city is in a political turmoil which prob
ably has never been duplicated in the
history of this country. Six ofthe seven
Democratic Aldermen are absent from
the city, and several city Sheriffs are en
deavoring to ascertain their whereabouts
to arrest them. Mayor Marigold, five
Republican Aldermen and ono Demo
cratic Alderman are encamped in the
Council chamber in the City Hall, wait
ing for a quorum in order to carry
through several Republican measures
which have been the basis of the present
muddle. From the present indications
they are likely to have to wait for days, I
if not weeks, to come. The Mayor swears i
to continue the session for months, if!
necessary. \
The trouble is with the Democrats, who j
so abused years of power that they find i
themselves in the minority, and to allow j
the old Democratic city boards to hold i
over they have run away to prevent a |
quorum and the election of new nom
inees. City editor Word, of the Post,
fearing to leave the City Hall for a mo
ment, has his copy brought to tho Coun
cil chamber, and" he and his reporters
conduct the paper there.

final action.

constitutional amendment by which
lotteries could be legalized ig any State.
The vote stood :;.", to 80.
The remainder of theday waa spent in
the consideration of resolutions, all
passed and reported by the committee,
but a warm debate was provoked by the
question of the Government ceding arid
tands to States and Territories.
\ resolution deploring the law ofthe
Forty-ninth Cougres9 prohibiting foreign
capital trom investing in r#al estate and
mines was adopted.
The majority report on arid hinds
Urged a cession of the arid lands to tlio
states in which they are situated, and
limiting individual purchases to 320
I acres at not less than %1 25 per acre, and
; that only citizens of the l : fted States be
eligible as purchasers, the funds derived
i from such sale to be devoted to the de
velopment of irrigation and reclamation
of arid lands. The minority report was
devoted iv strong argument toa system
of Government irrigation that would
bring the lands under cultivation.
Atter much debate, participated in by
Senator Warren, Judge Beiford of Colo
rado, Delegates Gunn of Idaho, Morse of
Colorado and Hardy of Utah, the various
amendments offered were voted down
and the majority report adopted bya

no difficulty in meeting tho quarterly
pension payments falling due June 4th,
as tho available cash balances by that

altogether settled, it was more than likely
the department would give the holders of

and has the most sublime outlook of any
place in tho country. His remains will
stay here, as be wished it so. His acci
dent Avas his own fault. When I left for
the railway he promised he would stay
at home until my return. 1 would never
let him go about alone, but he was very
eoniident in his own power to look out
for himself anywhere, and would not
have a guide. He was wild to be in tho
mountains after deer, and to ford rivers
and hunt alone."
Counterfeiter Arrested.
Chicago, May 22.—Captain Porter of
the United States Secret Service has just
returned from a trip to Southern Illinois,
where he arrested a preacher of the gos

ofthe Sunday-school. He has a wife and
six children,and told Captain Porter that
he had to do something to make ex
penses.
Fatal Gas Explosion.
Birmingham (Ala.), May 22.—At the
Pratt mines to-day an explosion of gas in

across an old chamber, and on which the

Officers of the company went to the
rescue and worked to save the men, but

narrowly escaped. The bodies of the
dead were recovered.

Special to the KKroHD-Uxiox.
RoJCH, May 22.—The full text of +he
Tope's encyclical on the social que.; ,n
has appeared. The following extracts
are taken from it:
The Pope sets forth that the divine law
rejects the socialist solution of the social
problem, which would abolish private
property, substituting collective and
common ownership. Now, as ever,
men's relations toward each other as in
dividuals, or parts of society, must have
the sanction ofthe old authority.
Considering the relations of the State
to individuals, the Pope says: "To think
that the authority of the State ought to
arbitrarily invade the family interest is a
pernicious error. Undoubtedly it can
intervene when the condition of the
family is too UsastroUß, but only to alle
viate it, and as the safeguard of ths rights
and interest of public power, without
violating any rights of the individual.
We affirm unhesitatingly that human
efforts are impotent without the concur
rence ofthe church."
A long demonstration follows, reciting
all the church h.is done to better the lot of
the proletariat The \\>i,c says capital is
powerless without work, and vice versa.
The proletariat cannot and ought not
to injure either capital or master. To
obtain the respect of their rights, they
must abstain trom violence. They ought
not to have recourse to sedition, nor
listen to the chimerical promises of agi
tators. On the other hand, the master
ought to respect tlie individuality ami
dignity of the men and the Christian in
workmen, and not abuse them Inhumanly
in their work nor exploit them beyond
their force.
The State ought to watch over the purity
of morals, and under order of the fami
lies'safe keeping of religion, justice and
moderation and equal division of public
charges. The larger the general pros
perity the less will the workers seek re
course to exceptional means to ameliorate
their condition. The State ought to see
that covenants relating to work are con
scientiously observed, and oppose any
thing that might cause popular passions.
Small wages often give rise to strikes
disastrous not only to the workmen and
masters, but to general commerce and
public industry. The Government ought
to prevent an explosion at thus crisis.
lhe State ought not to lee the workmen
become the prey of speculators and
usurers. A man's work should not go to
such an extent that he is forced to suc
cumb under excess of bodily fatigue.
Consequently expediency is shown in a
certain limitation of working hours.
The question of wages is delicate. The
State should see that agreements entered
into by workmen aro respected. The
element of the question is that the
workmen ought to be able with the
salary to provide the necessities of
life. Great social advantages lie in the
laws which favor multiplicity of prop
erties. These are the best means to pre
vent opposition between extreme riches
and extreme poverty, but it is also
necessary that properties shall not be
overtaxed.
Institutions for aiding the poor and
facilitating conciliation between the
various social <-lasses aro especially use
ful in obtaining desirable results. The
Pope particularly mentions associations
for mutual BUCCOT, and institutions for in
surance in case of accident, sickness and
death, and the protection of children and
girls. He attaches particular importance
to the working people sassociations, ex
piates on the advantages of liberty and
right of combinations as long as these
associations do not present any incon
venience to public interests.
The Pope greatly praises those endeav
oring to better the condition of the pro
letariat, to establish bonds of mutual
equity between the workmen and mas
ters, to maintain a sentiment of reciprocal
duties, and combat intemperance among
workmen.
AVORLD'S FINANCES.
Views of Two Eminent Men on the
Situation.
Berlin, May 22.—1u an interview with
the Associated Press correspondent to
day, Baron Blcichroder, the well-known
banker, said his talk of last week had
been cabled back to the Old World and
had crested much comment in Europe.
Some of the statements were misunder
stood. He spoke rather generally about
the financial condition of the South
American republics, when, in fact, only
the Argentine Republic, Chile and Peru
were in his mind. The financial situa
tion in Brazil, he thought, is sound. The
general outlook in Europe to-day is bet
ter than at the time of his conversation
last week. The settlement of the Anglo-
Portuguese dispute cannot but have a
tranquilizing effect on European markets
and politics. Baron Bleichroder did not
think the expulsion of ex-Oueeu Natalie
would lead to further trouble. In con
clusion, ho said the importation of gold
into Russia has now ceased, as she has all
she requires. All American gold sent to
Europe will be returned by November to
buy crops, as tho crops of England and
France are bad and they will need much
oi* American grain.
Herr Barth. a high authority upon na
tional ecouomy, was. also, interviewed
by an Associated Press representative
upon the same questions, to see whether
these two great financial authorities
agreed. It was apparent that Barth is
not as sanguine as Bleichroder in regard
to the future. He said while tho United
States can look forward to a prosperous
and profitable year, the outlook in Eu
rope is anything* but hopeftil. Portugal
is on the verge of bankruptcy and the
settlement ofthe English difficulty won't
help her. She may fail any day, shaking
all the stock exchanges of Europe in so
doing. Herr Barth added that lie is not
satisfied with the explanation of finan
ciers and politicians for the accumulation
of gold being made by Russia. The re
payments of loans, etc., will absorb only
a small part of the £40,000,000 in gold
lately imported into Russia. Beside,
these forty millions are not all she has
been hoarding. Russia's object, in getting
together this large amount of gold is not
clear, but a nation demanding a large
amount of ready treasure is always
dangerous. In conclusion, Herr Barth
said bad crops in Europe will, of course,
be a gain to the United States. Event
ually, of course, the prosperity of the
United States may have a stimulating
effect upon European commerce, but
everything at present looks bad.
COLLISION WITH POLICE.
Workmen Driven to Desperation by
Jeers of Soldiers.
Bkrijx, May 22.—A number of soldiers
were rollicking in the streets of one of the
suburbs Wednesday evening when thoy
quarreled with a party of workmen on
their way home, whom they had pro
voked by their jeers and brutality, A
right followed and increased in violence
so that the police wero uuablo to stop it.
The cavalry was summoned to the scene
and, charging into tho thick of the tight,
succeeded in separating tho combatants.
Two brothers named Luder, privates of
the Forty-sixth Regimont, wero killed in
the melee, and a workman died alter his
removal to a hospital from stab wounds.
Many on both sides were injured. The
collision was one of the most desperate
that has occurred betweeu the military
and civilians in recent years, and has cre
ated much ill-feeling, more especially as
the soldiers were the ageressors and
peaceable workmen the victims.

NOT RESIDENTS.
Outside Comments on the Condition of
Saerameuto Women,
The following extracts aro given to
show how the press of other cities view
the kite decision oftho Board of Trustees:
(Stockton Mail, May 21st.]
Sacramento is truly an unfortunate
city. It is not because the State Legis
lature meets biennially there, thus giving
the town a very hard name, that we say
this: that in itself is misfortune enough,
but it is only the beginning ofthe Capital
City's tale of sadness. It is a remarkable,
lamentable and ever-to-be-regretted fact
that not a woman resides in Sacraniento.
This is not because women have too much
respect for themselves to take their
chances on residing there, but because
they cannot help themselves. Members
of the fair sex may visit the city which
surrounds the Shite House, but they can
not and do not reside there; the discovery
has at last been made.
Tlie dark fact to which wo refer had
been concealed during all the past, and
would, perhaps, have remained forever
hidden had it not been for tlio brilliant
astuteness of the I ity Board of Trustees.
They are discoverers from away back,
and the melancholy fact could not escape
their eagle glance. A Sacramento ordi
nance requires the petition of a majority
of the residents in a block as a prerequi
site to granting a license to run a saloon
therein. A would-be dispenser of liquid
extracts found himself in an unpleasant
position. He was abie to obtain the sig
natures of a majority of the masculine
i residents of the block which he yearned
to bless with his business, but the women,
who cannot be mado to understand polit
ical exigencies, would not sign.
Then it was that the immortal Board of
Trustees made the discovery which will
cause their names to go thundering and
ripping down the ages considerably in
advance of those of Christopher Colum
bus and Sir Isaac Newton. They found
out that women are not residents of Sac
ramento. At first blush one feels in
clined to congratulate the ladies on not
residing in a place which elects such
Trustees; but as women eat, sleep, marry,
do business and pay taxes there, it be
comes evident that congratulations might
be premature. There was a great church
council in early times that decided by a
majority of two or three votes, and after
much discussion, that women have souls;
if that council had been composed ofSac
ramento Trustees, woman would have
been allowed no more soul than men who
refuse to permit her to reside where she
lives have brains.
But, thank the Lord, the saloon was
saved! What is a little matter of refus
ing residence to all women, as compared
with a glorious fact like that? Over the
grave where woman's residential aspira
tions are buried that saloon stands, a soli
tary but glittering monument. On its
one side should be written the following
simple words:
t •
To the Memory of
the Women
Who Once Resided in This City.' j
* i
And on its other :
* »
Erected in Appreciation of " :
the Narrowest Escapes
Who Ever Escaped—
Sacramento's Board of Trustees.
* i
Of course if Sacramento's example
should be followed throughout the na
tion it would result that the dear creatures
whom men adore could not reside any
where, but would be homeless exiles;
aud, as men would be dead suro to follow
them into exile, there would be a condi
tion of affairs. In behalf of the mascu
line portion of Stockton, the Mail invites
the Capital City ladies to come down
here, where they will be permitted to re
side.
[Oroville New Era, Maj' 21st.]
The efforts of the press of Sacramento
aided by the unanimous support of all
decent citizens, to rid the city ofa num
ber of low dives, have met a sudden and
unexpected check, by tho decision ofthe
City Council that women are not resi
dents. The law in the case provides that
no saloon shall be located in any block
without the sanction of a majority of the
residents, and for this reason tho sapient
or sap-headed members ot the Council,
who seek some excuse for not doing
their duty, and well aware of the fact
that their mothers, wives, sisters and
daughters would never sanction tho
presence of the sinks of iniquity with
which the Capital City is cursed, have
declared them non-residents. The wives
of those Councilmeu should lock the
front doors at night, and when their
liege lords come home notily them from
the second-story window that the part
ners of their joys and sorrows no longer
resided there, and advise them to seek
new quarters.

He is positively indifferent whether he

the itata a rin a ii:.
CHICAGO, May 28.—A Washington
special says: "I don't think thero is the
least doubt about tho authority of the
United States Government to pursue tlie
Itata and capturo aud bring her in, for
she is now a pirate, a vulture on tho high
seas, sailing without a Hag," said a Cabi
net Officer, who represents the position
occupied by Secretary Tracy. "Touch
ing the right to seize the Itata on the high
seas, a recent decision in the District
Court for the Southern District of New
York, in tho case of ttie Ambrose Light,
is most instructive. The Ambrose Light
was a brigantine. and Bailed under com
mission and orders of ttie insurgents
against the established Government of the
united states of Colombia, sin- was
seized on the high seas and brought into
New York by the I'nited States gunboat
Alliance, where she was libeled for for
feiture as a pirate. Tiie question was
whether this vessel. Balling as the repre
sentative of a Power having no national
recognition, was, or was nut. a pirate.
Judge Hrownheld distinctly that ihe ves
sel bo sailing is a pirate; that the right to
make war upon the ueean is the right of
sovereigns only, and that until the Insur
rection or rebellion receives recognition
from other nations of standing as a bel
ligerent Power, its ships upon the ocean
are pirates pure and simple, and this po
sition he shows ma most learned and
elaborate opinion to be impregnable alike
on principle snd authority."
THS t'UII.KAX I>KI.K(i.VTi:s.
Pahis, May %%.— Whitelaw Reid,
I nited States Minister, in an interview
to-day was asked if it were true that at
the request of the Chilean delegates he
had communicated with the United
States Government asking that the or
ders sent to the Charleston be counter
manded and whether the United States
Government acceded to the request, Reid
said: "I have had no negotiations with the
agents of the Congressional party. They
called upon me, I listened to what they
had to say, but I refused to hold any
official communication with my Govern
ment in regard to their request.*'
The sSU'cle to-day reaffirms the truth of
the reported Itata agreement, and says
that the Chileau steamer will be taken
into a United States port and an embargo
be placed upon her.
THK KSMKRALDA.
City of Mkxico (via Calveston), May
22.—The military are still guarding the
Pacific Mail coal lighters at Acapulco for
fear the Esmeralda may attempt to tako
the coal by force.
NAVAL VESSELS.
Officers Must Report tho Amount of
Coal Consumed.
Washixgtox, May 22.— Secrotary
Tracy to-day issued an order to all naval
officers in regard to the consumption of
coal. The orders directs all the com
manding vessels to make experiments in
order to ascertain the most economical
rate of speed for their ships. They are
directed to report the consumption of
coal per hour at varying rates of speed
from five to eleven knots, tho kind and
quality of coal used, the condition of tho
vessel's bottom,and such remarks in refer
ence to the iuost economical rate of steam
as experience may suggest. Vessels with
sail-power are directed when they havo
sufficient wind to carry them four knots
to use sail alone.
In conclusion, the order states that it
is expected that vessels cruising under
steam will not exceed their most econ
omical rate, except in an emergency
when the nature of the service requires
high speed, and in such cases a report
must be made to the department explain
ing the necessity for the increased speed.
Four and a Half Per Cent. Bonds.
Washixgtox, May 22.—A circular -on
the subject of 4i per cent, bonds wiU*bo
issued by the Treasury Department in'a
few days. It will announce that the
(iresent rate of interest on the 4i per cent
oan will cease September Ist, and will
probably say that the holders of all such
bonds as do uot desire their redemption
at that date may secure their continuance
at an interest rate of 2 per cent., thus al
lowing the owners the option of retain
ing the bonds at a lower rate of interest,
if they desire to do so, without placing
the Government in a position of asking
tor more time.

Washixgtox, May 22.—Attorney-Gen

Green B. Raum, Jr., and other persons
