His Explanation Applauded in the Chamber of Deputies, MR. BLAINE'S REPLY NOT RECEIVED. No Further Light Thrown on the Richards Murder Mystery. THE EVELYN-HURLBURT CASE “Nor YET AT ROME. Minister Rudini Says That He Has Not Received Secretary Blaine’s Reply. Rowe, April 16.—The reply of Secretary Blaine received attention in the chamber of deputies today. Questions in regard to it were raised by various members. Premicr Rudini, in re- plying, said that the Italian government hed not admit that the diplomatic incident wae closed until the United States had acknowledged the duty of delivering the guilty parties over to justice and had acknow! the further = ot indemnifying the families of the victims who were Italian subjects. Italy could not admit that the United States government had no responsibility for acts committed with- ype acta 00 This phase of the present complication was, in his dpinion, ove which interested not. calf Italy, but all the governments of the civilized world. He felt confident, however, that the matter would be settled’ without’ creating tical diffieulty between Italy and America. it hecould not refrain from expressing a feeling of regret that the government of a country #o highly civilized as the United States should not fulfill the duties of justice and mor- ali ity. In conclusion Marquis di Rudini gave expres- sion to the hope that, notwithstanding the o2- currence of some incidents which were greatly tobe tted in the controversy between Italy and America, means of conciliation hon- | { orable to both countries would be found. The premier’s words were listened to with clove attention, and when he resumed his sext @ whole chamber, irrespective of parties, cheered vigorously. ——_-—__ SECRETARY BLAINE’S REPLY. ‘How It is Regarded in Europe—Italy’s Crit- ictam, Rous, April 16.—In political circles some isappointment is expressed with Mr. Blaine’s reply to the Marquis di Rudini. It is charae- terized as “vague” and “inconclusive,” and as insisting merely on the status quo. Loxpox, April 16.—The Globe and St. James Gaaetie this evening publish comments upon Mr. Blaine’s reply. Both agree in the Opinion that Mr. Blaine's note ia an able state ©The finetih wat commenting upon the Mafia society, sw fe sympathize with the people of the United States in their deter- mination not to allow vile social diseases like the Mafia to take root. It is only just to re- mind our kinsfolk, however, that ‘they dis- layed very little indignation where pratcices Ekin to" the Mafia, were employed bere by Trish- ican extremists.” The News condemns America’s treatment of Italy, and says that it must be fine sport for Mr. Blaine that the melancholy business bas been characterized throughout by an utter want of sympathy with Italy's patriotic anger. The Standard regards Blaine's reply to Nd- ‘uinf as very able, and is curious to see Rudini’s response. ‘The paper says it is difficult to seo how the Mafia can slip through the meshes of the net set for them.
