After having made an exhibition of himself in the unusual Controver- sial Contest between the United States and Italy, respecting the unfortunate New Orleans afi‘air, Premier Rudini, after much filling and backing, sails out of sight without leaving a ripple be- hind him. In his last oflicial communication to this country the Italian Premier, through the Marquls Imperiali, in ef- fect surrenders every point contested in the controversy by the followingtwo significant admissions: First, that “the words ‘punishment of the guilty’ actually signified cnly that prosecution ought to be commenced, in order that the individuals recognized as guilty should not escape punish- ment;” and, second, that “Mr. Blaine is right when he makes the payment of indemnity to the families of the victims dependent upon proof of the violation of the treaty.” It goes without saying that these two important admissions are fully equiva- lent to a complete concession of every point involved in the dispute. In reference to these admissions, the numerous dispatches and communica- tions that constitute the official docu- ments in the case show conclusively that the Italian Premier has persistent- ly demanded “the punishment of the lynchers,” on the one hand, and “the payment of the indemnity to the families of the victims,” on the other. Secretary Blaine from the very out- set made clear and comprehensive re- sponse to these demands by a plain def- inition of the powers of the Federal Government in the premises. He showed to the satisfaction of all disinierested parties the impropriety and impossibility of , the Federal Gov- ernment interfering with the proper process of criminal law within the jur- isdiction of the state courts of Louisi- aua. It was also as clearly demonstrated that, while the United States Govern- ment would always be willing to pay any just indemnity to those who, suffer- ing illegal violence or injury in this country, hold their citizenship in an- other, still the claim for such indemni- ty must rest upon the proof of a viola- tion of the treaty between the two interested nations. Thus the admissions of the Italian Premier are a complete vindication of the soundness of the position first taken and firmly maintained by our distin- guished Secretary of State. In his last contribution on the sub- ject, addressed to the Marquis Imperi- ali, the Marquis di Rudini refers to the diplomatic discussion as a “bootless controversy,” and says that “it is time to break off.” This has been the opinion of all dip- lomatic circles, outsule of Italy, for some time past ; and, indeed, all Italy, With the exception of the more excita- ble people and the sensational press and jingo politicians, has been heartily Sick of the controversy almost from the beginning. .9 C APTA IN VERNEY SENTENCED. An English M. P. Sent to Prison for a Shameful Crime. LONDOX, May 7.—Captain Edmund H. Verney, member of parliament for North Buckingham, was, after a preliminary ex- amination at the Bow street police court on April 30, held for trial, but was imme- diately released on giving a total hail of $75,000 for his appearance to answer the charge of having instigated the procura— tion of a young lady, a governess, named Miss Nellie Beckett, for immoral purposes. The case came up for final disposition before the recorder at the Old Baileyin the morning. Captain Verncy, by advice of his counsel, Mr. St. John VVontner, pleaded not guilty to the charge of having procured the young woman for immoral purposes, but entered a plea of guilty to the charge of having conspired with the French woman, Mme. Eugenie Rouillier (alias Mme. Florent) to procure her. The minor plea was accepted by the re- corder, who thereupon sentenced the pris- oner to imprisonment for one year with— out hard labor. In passing sentence the recorder took occasion to say that he had arrived at the conclusion that the crime, for the commission of which he was then passing sentence upon the prisoner, was not the only one of the kind in which he had been implicated. ‘ The Keystone Bank’s Affairs.
