RoME, April lS.-Up to noon to-day it
has been impossible to learn anything
about the report that the italian cabinet
had decided to request United States
Minister Porter to leave Rome, in case
no reply to Premier Rudini's last note
is received from Secretary Blaine by to.

Officials are reticent and journalists
are unable to secure definite confirmation
or denial. At the American legation
nothing can be learned. Minister Porter
has heard nothing except what he has
gained from the papers.
In well informed circles, the prevail

proceed to extremes at this iuncture.

"ruE COUNTY FAIR"
A Fine Performance of Famous Play at
the OnhrR Hnnaa.

A Fine Performance of a Famous Play u,
the Opera House.
Neill Burgsss's famous play, "The
County Fair" was given at the Opera
House last evening for the first time in
Wheeling. The piece is in the first place
fairly interesting drama. Next, it ia
given with beautiful special scenery and
mechanical effects which would redeem
bad play. Add to this that it Ia acted
by a competent and talented company,
and it will be seen that 1t Is deserving
OF the fame aud success 1t has won.
The presence Of the horses on the
stage, and the ingenious Contrivaucs by
which race course Is very satisfactorily
represented are OF course the features.
The story hinges on this event, and is
we'll told.
Mr.. Benton as Otis Tucker, Mr.. Ferris
as Tim and Mr.. Shaw as the .rascally
Constable all showed talent as character
actors. Miss Allyn took the part oI
Abigdi Prue, created by Mr.. Burgess,
very satisfactorily. Mics Dolly Kline aa
TaggS did a delightful partin q dslightful
way, and Miss Warren as Sally was
pleasing and capable. The quAttette
and other special features added much
TO the pleasure Of the performance, which
will be given again this evening.

How West Virginia Has Been Paid Her
Share OF tho Refund.
WASHINGTON, D. G., April 1S.-1t ap.
pears that many Of the States that ex.
pected to roallEs the entire amount OF
their contributions to the direct tax, are
to be disappointed. A scrutiny OF the
refuuding act by the First Comptroller
has satisfied him that the United States
Goyernment may claim offsets against
ali States wherein the tax was not col.
lected from individuals directly by the
Government. he has been searching
the records for such offsets, and found
in some States large arrearages.
West Virginia is perhaps IN q worse
Might than any other State. Virginia
owed the government 81 ,500,0 900 on ac'
count OF State bonds, aud when the new
State was cut of 1t agreed to assume re-
sponsibllity for her share OF the inde6t'

Tax by a claim OF $459, 600 for munitions
of war furnished by the general govern
meut, which Claim was allowed. Now,
