press arriving in Turin about p m. on Monday,
more than two hours after time. Owing TO some
special police orders no one allowed TO accom-

ience. The station at Florence was full of

few moments SO no one descended for the ordinary
cup Of coffee or "gayyOsa.n We were kept waiting
more than half an hour; idem at Piacenza, Parma,
Acadena and Asti. Numbers of passengers were left
on the platform and az MOucalier were told that
the engine was broken. The delay was thus ac-
counted for satisfactorily TO VINE 1he aGthIdib t anntb
