representations Of the Italian govern

in the affair.
Popolo Romano says that in view of

Machecha Was Bolivla's Consul.

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-A singular
fact in connection with the Italian mat
ter, which has entirely escaped atten-
ton up to the present time, is that one
of the leading Italians lynched in New
Orleans was actually at the time OF his
death the recognized consul at that
port of foreign govenment-not that
of Italy.
Jose p. Macheca the alleged head of
the Malta, and the IN st prominent vic
tim of the mob, still stands on the
records of the state department as the
duly accredited and recognized consul
of Boliv in New Orleans at the time of
his Unauthorized execution Bolivia has
no diplomatic representative here, The
most prominent agent is Consul General
Olarrio. of New York. 1t does not ap-
pear that he has made any movement in
the matte. Bolivia without navy or
a $, arort is very small factor among
nations. Nevertheless it is possible
that some explanation may be asked of
the United States as to the killingof one
of its Consuls.

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-It is known
to be the earnest desire to the Paciti;
Mail Steamship conn any to suppo in
every way the policy of the present ad-
ministration in ca rying out the
postal subsidy bill in way to show
that it is for the best interest of the
country, ard so to place the general
policy of subsidies on Foundation that
shall commend itself to the peo lie gen
orally as being one of great advantage
The postmaster general has alrea y been
made aware that the Taci0o Mail
Steamship com any will be glad i'm
prove its service by making quicker
time ON it's different routes. by calling
at all Of the ports on the different routes
more frequently and by increasing its
present tonnage perhaps to the extent
Of $4,000, or 1000 tons of new vesse 8.
This is on the surposition, o course that
the postmaster leneral fin Is it of adj
vantage to the department to make the
required contracts. 1t is leleved that
Pacific Mail service between Panama
and San Francisco can ca lily lie in
creased one trip month. This would
make a permanent service of thre
trips month between New York and
San Francisco Of what has been hereto
fore only Il semi monthly service be-
tween Panama and San Francisco, eX-
cept at short and irregular periods.
1t is believed too, that he tine be-
tween New York and Colon can lie de-
creased twenty four houis AMI that the
time between San Francisco a.d Pan
anna may be shortened by four days at
least, and that, too, without emitting
any Of the p.esent stops. The Pacific
Mail has at present monthly line be-
tween Panama and Acapulco. This, it
is thought, can be increased to a til
monthly seryi.e, or, if that improve
ment were not made an entirely new
line, to be semi-monthly, between an
anna and Champerio, port on the same
coast, m ght lie established Although
this service would involve l9,O)0 tons Of
entirely new ships it is belle ed that it
could be put on within six months. Two
shiIs of l $50 tons each, for the service
between New York an San Francis o,
would probably be required. One of
the new big ships could be used on each
side of the isthmus.

over the way in which NJ Blaine turns
the sentences of the Italian premier to
his own use and makes his case with
S ch sudden and swift turns that the
controversy seems to be ended for all
practical purposes.
Taking Things Easy.
To show his supreme confidence in the
unassailability of his position and his
freedom from all apprehension of gray o
results, Mr.. Elaine had no sooner given
his correspondence TO the press than he
embarked on board the United States
steamer Despatch for a sail of few
days down the Potomac river and
Chesapeake Bay. With the president
away, the departure of the sc retary of
state is all the more noticeable, as it
lea es but two or three members of the
cabinet in Washington at time when

threaten dire conse Juences to American
interests. A more signll expression Of

A difficult problem before the post
office dela ment is how lest to give
this country ana the ives ern coast Of
South America the largest advantages
under the subsidy bill The distance
from San Francisco to Valparaiso, Chilli,
is 5,752 miles, which could be covered
i'll from eighteen t. twenty days if too
many stops were not made. The dis
tunce from New York to Valparaiso is
4,5.O miles, which could probably be
covered, under imiliar circumstances,
in from fifteen to eighteen days The
steamers between San Francisco and
Panama stop at rom eighteen totwenty-
five ports, and between Panama and
Val araiso they stop at perhaps twenty.
These ports having hardly any other com
munication with the world are loath, of
course. to give mp their steam hip lines,
an it is Gu stlon with the steamship
lines also whether itpays them to accom-
date all these places or t. go more
quickly and accomo late the larger ports
better.

\ suggestion.

One suggestion is that the ia t line Of
large steamers, say of 5000 tons each,
which could be put on in two years, be
operated by the same company to carry
mails, passengers and through freights
between New York and Valparaiso,
stopping only at one principal port in
each country on the gulf, transshipping
at the isthmus. and thln on the other
line stopping only at one principal port
in each country on the west coast of
South America. The distance south
from Panama to Valparaiso is abo It
1850 miles and it is thought this dis
tanCe could easily he covered in eight
or ten DAYS. This arrangement would
naturally involve local lines of steamers
to stop at intermediate ports, and to
connect for their mails, passengers and
freight at the princiE al ports. If these
were twelve or fourteen-knot boats they
might serve the purpose. The distance
from New York to Panama is about
1000 miles, an is now covered in nine
davs. It is believed that the 5.O0o-ton-
steamers would ma the tlip in five
davs. An arrangement by which these
might sail once in ten days and connect
directly with the South acitic steamers
at Panama without delay, is contdl mt
ly looked forward to by many shiI Isns

exactly what it claims, viz: to cure
leucorrhea, painful irregularities, ex-

innumerable other female weak
