In tbo gourse of bis reply to the Interpellations the premier said tnaf on lq&fnlng of the oertalnty that four of the lynched men were Italians the Italian government Immediately direoted the attention of tbo United States government to tbo matter and received from that government satisfactory assurances, whlob were aftorwards personally confirmed by Mr. Porter, tbe United Statos minister. Tbe premier then read tbo telegram whloh President Harrison sent to tbo governor of the State ot Louisiana Marob 18. and added that tbe Italian government, like President Harrison, demanded that tbe guilty parties bo brought to Justice and that Indemnity be granted to the families of tbe victims.

As the action of the United States, continued tho premier, bad not corresponded with Its promises, tho Italian government was oon strained to demand a formal assurance tbat the guilty parties should be donounoed asd that tbe title to Indemnity should be admitted In principle. The United States government, however, fulled to give this assurance, replying tbat tho constitution of tbe United States did not permit tbe federal government to interfere In state affairs. The premier then proceeded to give a detailed account of the negotiations between tbe Italian and Atncrldan governments, ending wltb tbe ordor to Baron Fava to take hit departure on leave of absence, seeing that be had proved tbe futility of diplomatic action. Tbe Marquis Imperial! was Instructed to state that tbe lnoldeat would not be elosed until tbe federal government bad explicitly declared that legal proceedings against tbe lynchers would be promptly begun.

The premier's words were listened to with oloso attention, and when he resumed hlf sent the whole chamber, irrespective of parties, choarsd vigorously. At tho conclusion of the address the iuterpellators expressed their approval of the conduct of the Italian government in the matter and as being satisfied with the explanation made by Premier di Rudlni.

Mr. Ulivjne's communication is received with udrairation among the bestinformed Italians, whose patriotism does not blind them to fuels. At the same time, in some political quarters, some disappointment is expressed at Mk Blaine's insistence on the statu quo, and what Is termed his "vague" and "inconclusive" presentation of tho ease.

The Tribuna says that Seoretary HUiine aims above all to divert the attention of Italy from the real question at issue. Hut this, it adds, will not easily be done.

The Opinion'' applauds the declaration of Premier di Rudini, but says the public oujjht to reserve its judgment on the affair until the text of Mr. liluinc's last note is known.

The Cupltan Kracussa says: "Mr. lilaine's note to Marquis di Itudinl is justifiably proud and caustic, coming as it does from the lips of minister of a great people: but it.s substance is less severe. While utl'octing to concede nothing. Mr. lilaino really indicates to Italy the path it should follow in order to obtain justice."

A correspondent called upon Marquis di Kudini and asked him if it was possible for hiin to give an opinion for publication in regard to the reply of the United States secretary of state, Mr. lilaine, to the marquis' last note on the subject of tho New Orleans lynching. In reply Marquis di Kudini said in substance that the cabled summaries of Mr. lilaine's reply which had been sent to Home and which he had seen in the public press of this city were too brief and otherwise inadequate to enable him to form definite opinions, much less give an opinion for publication, even if he felt justl- I fied in adopting the latter course of action- The marquis added that ho preferred not to say anything further while awaiting the receipt of tho full text of Mr. lilaine's reply except that he was now and had always been sincerely desirous of a friendly solution of the d'itliculties at present existing between the Italian government and the government of the nited Mates.

Though the full correspondence given out in Washington was telegraphed to London and was published in the Jinglish papers only a summary was lelegruphed from London to the Italian

papers on account of their disinclination to pay the tolls from London for the full correspondonoe.

Marquis dl Rudlni is well disposed toward tho United States government, and a satisfactory settlement of tho dispute-will certainly be found. Marquis di Kudini will do ull He can to bring this about. The premier was not well informed concerning the status of Italian emigrants in tho United States, when this complication was suddenly thrust upon him and demanded a sudden action on his part as the ofllcial guardian of Italy's interests and Italy's subjects In all its foreign relations: and the hasty protest which the occasion made Imperatively necessary left him no time to become acquainted with tho peculiar details of the situation before opening communications with Mr. Blaine. Almost immediately an exhaustive memorandum was placed in Marquis di ftudini's hands, emanating from an Italian sourco, explaining the circumstances and possllitios of the caso, and probably to this in some measure may have been attributable the changes which have been made in the tone of his later demands upon the United States government. At the same time an interpellation on the international aspect of the iXew Orleans affair was sent to the president of tho uhumber of deputies. All intelligent and unbiased Italians look upon the affair with patience and common sense. Marquis di Kudini has long been an eminent man in Italian politics and government, but has never before bsen prominently associated with the conduct of foreign affairs. The premier has done only what he was obliged by his position to do, although with a misunderstanding which piaces him in an awkward attitude.

New Yoiik,

April 17.—L'Eco d'ltalia

says: "lilaine's last note to Marouls di Kudini, thoroughly examined, leaves the impression of a vulgar, insidious, peevish plea, Such as a counselor with more artfulness than honesty usually attempts for a bad client and a wretched suit. He dodges the main thesis: he rambles about and in the whole savs nothing. In Rome it will oortainly be considered in il'ii light."

Money Question.

THE DAY AT KANSAS CITY. KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 17.—The interest in the western states commercial congress now centers in the report of the committee on resolutions. The committee completed its work Thursday afternoon and the report willl be submitted to-day. The action of tho committee was not unanimous, and there will bo a minority report'. Tl\e majority and minority reports agrao 111 all respects, however, excepting o& three resolutions, as follows: t. Favoring free coinage of silvir. 3. Favoring the Issue of legal-tcnflsr potes redeemable In gold and sll?er In Quaqtlt? Sufficient to do the business of the coilutry. 8. Favoring a tarlft for revenue on

Upon these three propositions the members of the oommlttee oould not agree. The majority favored the prop* osltions and tho minority opposed tiem. When It came to a vote as to wh«ther they should bo included in the report the vote stood 11 for ahd 8 against. The minority will present a report expressive of their views on the subject.

The other resolutions, which will be included In both reports, praise Secre* tary Rusk for his conduct of the affairs of the agricultural department and favor the improvement of the Mississippi river the irrigation by tho national government ol arid landsi tho consummation of treaties Of reciprocity with the countries with which the United Stntes exchanges products the construction by the federal government of a deep water harbor on the gulf of Mexico.

James Peabody, of Chicago, read a paper on "Railroad Pools." His argument was on the assertion that it was not so much low rates that people needed as it was stable rates. His paper was well received.

Gen. Charles W. Blair, of Kansas, read a paper on transportation as affecting oommeroe and finance. He said the basis prlnolple of his argument was the government was the best which governed the lea^t. Applying this principle to legislation as affecting finance he said the government ought to provide as much money as was necessary to carry on the country's business, and then leave the question of finance alone. In a like manner the government ought also to keep Its hands off oommcrce and transportation and let them be governed by natural laws. He thought there was too much legislation and laid at the doors of congress the loss of American shipping from the seas. He predicted that If a change was not made soon there would come a total loss of foreign tnule. He said he wanted free trade but wanted it qualified by reciprocity. He wanted no legislation tending to centralization.

William K. Sweppe, presidont of the Wholesale Grooers' association of St. Louis, spoke on transportation. He said that the idea had l«tig been exploded that railroads wore private property. They are now reoOgniaed as public trusts, and it was just and right that those trusts should be regulated for the benefit of those who held the bonds. Ho would not restrict people In building railroads if they had the monej- to do it, but he diil not want the roads to be built by private persons at tlio oxpense of the public. Railrq/id pools did no good. Rates should not bo fixed by the railroad or the shippers, but by the railroad commission. He thought tlio federal government should control tho traffic of tho railroads just us it now controls the interstate traffic. He wanted a law passed that would give tho present commission the [power to enforce its decree.

General debate on tbe subject of transportation was tlieu opened. Senator Cochran, of Missouri, spoke from the standpoint of the railroads, and explained the difficulties in the way of their earning sufficient money to pay honest dividends on the actual capital invested. He thought railroads were due to receive as much favorable consideration as any private business concern. lie thought the state and federal governments ought to keep tlieir hands Off and permit the railroad: do tlie'v best.

Jay L. Torroy, of St ".uuis «d a paper on "Uniform Comine--.ini Laws" and devoted particular in a subjoct of a bankrupt law. A comy liensive lew on that subji-jt, he bald, oould not einanute from any souvoc except the national ilaturi' jecause the federal government had power to cn.v.t such a law and becauso tbe states could not impair the obligations of contrau-s. There was no denying there was a demand for new bankruptcy legislation by the masses of the people of the country. Tbe demand was that congress should without f- rther delay pass a law which shall prevent fraud, decrease the number of commereial failures, protect debtors from precipitate and unwarranted action on the part of their creditors, prevent creditors taking unfair advan 'e of each other, and provide for a harmonious, equitable, speedy and economical administration of bankrupt estates and the prompt punishment of debtors who have been guilty of wrong, and the discharge of such as have been the subjects of honest misfortune.

Hon. A. J. Waruer, of Ohio, addressed the congress on the subject: "Relation of Money to Bank Credits," and Judge R. M. Widner, of Los Angeles, Cal., read a paper on "A National Money System." Addresses were also made on the money question by T. S. Coast, of Illinois, and l'rof. Illackmar, of Kan*

Secretary Foster Thursday announced that 521,000,000 in fractional currency will be put in circulation us soon us the necessary arrangements can be made.

Progress of the Presidential Party on Its Journey.

GREETED IN GEORGIA AND ALABAMA.

The Chief Magistrate Speaks to Iinmeuso Throngs or Enthusiastic Cltlr.-n., Congratulating Them on Their

Increased Prosperity.

8TORV OF THURSDAY'S JOURNEY. BIBMINGHAM, Ala., April 17.—The presidential party had a delightful sixhour trip over the Georgia Paciilo road from Atlanta to this oity. The special engine provided was completely covered with Hags and bunting and displayed in frout a large portrait of the president. The president showed great interest in the celebrated Red hills of Georgia, the cotton plantations and the evidences of enterpriso to bo seen on every side.

A feature of the run to Birmingham was the prominent display of tho Atpcrloan colors at all the stations. The patriotic display of llags was particularly noticeable at Tallapoosa, known in this region as a "YAbkeG city upder a southern sun" because so much New England capital is invested there. 1 allapoosa gave the president a cordial reception. The school children of the city were gathered in line, waving flags and olieering vociferously. Mayor Head welcomed the president and introduced him to the people. Gen. Harrison stood on the rear platform of the train and responded.

Soon after passing Tallapoosa tho train crossed the Georgia line into Alabama, and at the same time the governor of Alabama and his staff left Birmingham in a special train to meet the president.

There was a great crowd at A&niston, and the reception of tho party was most enthusiastic. The local military and a band of Sunday-school ohlldren with flags formed a line in front of tho station and each member of the presidential party was given a fine silk badge suitably inscribed, and the ladies also were given bouquets. Hon. John Noble, mayor of Annlston, Introduced exLieut. Gov. John MoKleerey, who delivered un address of welcome. Mr. William Stevens also made a speech on behalf of the oolored population, the president responded as follows: '•I am glad to soe wltb the eyes that of which I have been kept Informed, the great development which Is taking place in tbo mineral regions of the southorn states. I am glad tbat you aro realizing the bonedts of diversified agriculture, aud that the production upon your farms of tbe staples which you onoe bought elsewhere Is largely Increasing. Thore has besa received in the south slnoe the war not less than 18,000,000,000 for ootton aud while I rejoice In that, 1 am glad to know that In this region there are near 100,000 acres devoted to raising watermelons. [Laughter. No farmer, certainly no planter, In the old time would have consented to sell watermolons. You are learning tbat things which wero small and despised have coino to be great elements In your commerce. You aro realizing benefits of home markets for what you produce, and I am sure you will unite with me In tboeo oflorts which wo ought to make, not only to ail our own markets with all that this great nutlon of as,000,000 needs, but to reach out to otber markets and enter Into competition with tbo world for them." IChocrs.)

The president's reception at Birmingham was most enthusiastic, aud the demonstration was tho noisiest that has been experienced On the trip thus fur. Gov. Jones and liis staff in full uniform and a committee of citizens met the presidential party a little way from here and escorted it to the city, where the president was welcom«d by the mayor and other municipal officers. Drawn up in line in and near the station were the Grand Army post, the Confederate Veterans' association, tho local mi' la, representatives of the militia ot Selina and Montgomery the publio school children, behind them was massed an imu. .-r ".rowd of people. The city was ei' uorately decorated with tho national colors. Addresses of welcome wore made at the station by Gov. Jones and Mayor Lune, and when the president arose to respond he wus greeted nth deafening cheers. When quiet .f restored he said: "I Judge from what we have seen as we noarcd your station that we have bore at Birmingham tbe largest and most enthusiastic concourse of people that has met us sine* wo left tbe national capital. [Great and prolonged applause.] For all this I am deeply grateful. My countrymen, we thought tho war a great calumlty and so it was. The destruction of life and property was great and sad beyond expression, and yet we can see now that Ood led us through tbat red sea to a development In material prosperlty and to a fraternity that was not otherwise possible. [Cheers.] The south has found a new Industrial birth. Onoe almost wholly agricultural, you are now not the less fruitful In crops but you have added all this. [Cheers.] You have incroaBed your production of cotton and you have added an Increase In ten years of nearly 300 per cent, of the production of Iron. In conclusion let me say tbat 1 reciprocate with the very fullness of my heart every fraternal expression that has fallen from the lips of tbese gentlemen who have addressed me In your behalf. [Cbeers.l 1 have not been saved from mistakes probably I shall not be. I am sure of but one thing—I can declare that I have simply at heart the glory of tbe Amerlean nation and tbe good of all Its people. (Qreat and prolonged obccrlng.l I thank these companies of the state militia, one of whom I recognize as having done me tbe honor to attend tbo inauguration ceremonies, for tbclr presence. They are deserving, sir (to the governor), of your encouragement and ot that of tbe state of Alabama. They are tbe reserve army of the United States.
