ROM. Nav S.-The Itale says: "The Ital-
ian Government is about TO address q circular
to the European Powers submitting the con
duct Of the United States Government in the
New Orleans affair to their Judgment. Italy
will thus be the initiator of an international
agreement to compel the United Staten to find
means to guarantee the protection OF foreign
subjects"
The Italian press is indignant at the report
Of the New Orleans grand jury. The PopCse

for any civilized country 10 make treaty
with the United States based upon reciprc- al
protection of the lives Of citizens OF either
country.

Foley PLAYING IN WATERBURY,.

-FOIiO1 PLAYING TN WATERBURY,
The Game Is Carried ON Here In
Defiance of the Law.
The policy writers are becoming bold
again, after laying low for long time.
Two years ago, through the efforts of
the DEMOCRAT, an ordinance was
passed making policy writing in Wa
ter6ury crime, and since then the
dealers have been working under cover
1t is said. however, that they are still
doing a rushing business, and people of
all stations in life are numbered among
the victims.
OF all gambling games policy is the
worst. 1t has fascination for the poor
man because it can be played for small
or large amount. And if policy can be
called larceny in the catalogue of crime,
the envelope game, which always ac-
companies it, is highway robbery.
Eleven to- thirteen numbers, according to
agreement, are placed in an envelope
and the dupes are asked, at SO much
chance, to do the almost impossible
thing of guessing three or more out of
this small amount. If the chances are
five thousand to one in the policy draw
ing with seventy-six numbers, what
mathematician can figure out the
chances in even numbers
1t seems strange that anyone should
play policy when it is known what san
enormous percentage of chances there
say that there are about Il, 900 s'gigs" in
the seventy-six numbers, while the
''horses," four and two number combin-
ations, run up almost to the millions.
There is about one chance in five thou
sand of winning, and yet day after day,
people play the game who would be
grossly insulted if called fools.

sold all of his stock except the two ar

chased the coat.
Detective Egan met Mr. Sheridan this

GRAND STREET PAVING CONTRACT.

Patrick Thompson Says There is a
Conspiracy to Freeze Him Out.
City Engineer Cairns yesterday mott
fled Contractor Patrick Thompson, who
is doing the paving on Grand street,
that he must give up the contract, be-
cause of the many delays in the work.
1t is the intention of the engineer to
have the job finished by day work,
under his supervision.
Contractor Thompson, when seen by
a DEMOCRAT reporter to-day, said that
he had not the least intention of giving
up the work, and says that if necessary
he will resort to law to defend his
rights. He was sick yesterday, which
was one reason why the work was de-
layed. Another cause for the delay is
the failure of the sub-contractor, who
was to fill the joints with tar, to do
the work as agreed. Mr. Thompson
has ordered a carload of tar and be says,
will do this part of the work himself.
He claims that there is a conspiracy to
freeze him out, but proposes fight it to
a finish. If the weather be favorable
to morrow, his men will resume work
on the street.
