MAHUFACTVIIID TIIK Italian demand upon the American government was made public yesterday, and Is as follows: 1. The official assurance by the Federal government that the guilty should be brought to justice. 2.

The recognition in principle that iin idemnity Is due to the relatives of the victims. It will be seen that the first item demanding "official nsburunco by the Federal government that the guilty parties (the mob) should be brought to justice," is simply out of the question, and gives good grounds for supposing that the govermeut of King Humbert was not serious in making it. Secretary Blaine ry plainly states the case in these words: "Even if the National Government bad the entire jurisdiction over the alleged murderers it could not give assurance to any foreign Power that they should be punished. The President is unable to see how any Government could justly give an assurance of this character in advance of a trial aud a vsrdiot of "guilty." In the Constitution of the United States it is declared that "in all criminal prosecutions the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial bv an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been It needs no argument to prove that a juiy could not be impartial, if it were in any sense or to degree bouud before the trial of the accused by any assurance which the President of the United States had ventured to give to a foreign Power. In the Constitution of the.

State of Louisiana, under whose immediate jurisdiction the crimes were committed, substantially the same provision is found, so that the Governor of that State would be as unable to give a pledge in advance for the result of a trial under the State law as the President would bo were it practicable to try the leaders of the mob under the laws of the United States. These the facts, aa they exist, In a nutshell, and no Government on earth, unless it be Russia, could guarantee that persons tried by Jury should be brought to ''Justice." Such a trial would only be a farce, and would be on equality with the mob tribunal that hanged the men charged with the murder of Hennessey.
