A Matter Of Home Politics

Little is talked about here except the recall of Baroa Fa va. In the hotels, on the streets and in the public clubs, the matter is a subject of intense interest. In diplomatic and official circles the same importance is not attached to Baron Fava's recall as in the public resorts. The fact that the Italian legation is to remain here and conduct the routine business that usuaily passes between governments shows that diplomatic relations between the United States and Italy are not yet severed. The matter of Baron Fava's recall is not regarded here generally as a serious question or one likely to provoke hostilities, or even to lead to complications that will not be unravelled by the deft hand of diplomacy. Th Real Sigmiflcance. The ministerial crisis in Italy, in which Signor Crispi, the prime minister, was overthrown, is a recent event, which. it is xinted out, throws some light on Baron ij'ava's recall. The present Italian ministry, ever since its assumption of the reins of government, have been opposed by the )owerful minority party with Signor ispi at its head. The killing of the Italiaos in New Oileans gave it, in the ex. cited state of public íeeling, a club with which to belabor the ministry. The tedious channels of diplomacy were too slow to satisfy the Italian people that justice would be done to their countrymen in the United States, and the government, to appease the populace and at the same time to show in a certain sense its disapproval of what it considered the lack of heart shown by the United States government in bringing the murderers of the Italiana to justice, recalled Baron Fava. Etiquette of Diplomacy. Baron Fava must, according to diplonoatic etiquette, present his letter of resalí to President Harrison before severina bis connection with the United State government It is said by persons wejl vcrsed in diplomatic mattere that the failure to present this letter would be a direct slight to the yovernment.
