Secretary Maine's letter to Mtrquia Imperiali is very strongly commended by men of all shades of politics here, and the opinion opin-ion is widely expressed that it will bring the Italian government to calmer consideration of the mailer. There is considerable public indignation indigna-tion expressed at the attitude taken iu the matter by the Italian Americans who have long been citizens of the I'nited States, and are now taking sides with the Italian government and demanding de-manding satisfaction. There is a feeling feel-ing that if these men are American citizens, citi-zens, and have taken an oath of allegiance alle-giance to tho I'nited States, they are no longer subjects of Italy, whose duty it la to take up arms in her defense, Y.x Representative Farquhar of New-York, New-York, speaking of tho correspondence published this morning, said ho believed be-lieved Maine's letter would appeal to tho good sense of every foreign ualioii. He said: "Italy does not wan war, she wants to bluff us out. The secretary secre-tary of the treasury should now send a j,.iter a circular letter to the contractors con-tractors w ho uro now engaged in constructing con-structing uaval vessels, ordering them to hurry up work and complete the vessels as quickly as possible, at the government's risk for damages and extra expense. This mere iudication that we were read ' to prepare for anything any-thing Italv might bo disposed to do, that we did nut intend to yield when we were i;i the right, would put an end to Italy's demonstration." The "apparent inability of tho United States to actually extend to foreigners the protection which is guaranteed in the treaties iu case uu outrage is committed com-mitted for v hich a state is responsible ha? led to considerable talk iu diplomatic diplo-matic circles. It was suggested that congress might have to change the method of negotiating treaties, but when this view was presented to ex-Governor ex-Governor Grosvenor, he very promptly replied that no change was necessary. The United States," he said, "can always al-ways be trusted to do what is honest and right. We need not go to the extent ex-tent of revising all our methods for the sake of pleasing countries which an-uuaily an-uuaily send large numbers of their people peo-ple to our shores." General Grosvenor added that if tho government had any right to interfere inter-fere in a matter like the Italian trat'edy, then it had an equal right to interfere in every case whtrn the murder c-f a negro for political reason occurs iu the south during a federal election. "The Italian government,'' govern-ment,'' he said, "must surely realize that if the national government cannot protect the live-, of its ow n citizens, or interfere to punish their murderers, it cannot do so for foreigners," The Post this morning says: "It is held that quite a number of international interna-tional lawyers that iho ntrht of the federal fed-eral government to negotiate treaties carries with it power to carry out the treaty stipulations, even if by so doing it appears to override state authority. Congress, when it convenes, will probable prob-able enact a law to designate bow tho federal government shall act iu a difficulty diffi-culty like the present. |
