ItaIy's Capacity to Fight.

WASHINGTON, ID c., April 6.-Italy.
the constitutional monarchy, Is a nation
which has a different form of govern.
ment than that of most monarchies.
The legislative authority is vested in
the parliament, which is composed of
the senate and chamber of deputies.
The senate is composed of princess of
the blood royal and limited number
of persons who have served in high
places or have acquired fame in science,
literary or other pursuits. or pay 5000
annually in taxes. They are nomi-
mated by the king for life. The depu-
ties are elected by ballot, every citizen
having vote who is of age and can read
and write and pays 81 annually in taxes
or who belongs to the learned profess
siOns or who has served two years in
the army. Deputies receive no pay or
emoluments except the free passage on
boats and railroads. Salaried govern
ment officials, as well as priests are in
eligible. The legislative period is five
years, unless tho king dissolves parlia-
ment, in which case he must order new
elections within four months. Ministers
can take part in the debate in both
MUSES. DuI CdulOt NOle ullcSS Cuey are
members.
The reigning king is Umberto l, born
March IA, 1874, the eldest son of Wit
torio Emanuele III, who died in 1878.
The finances of the nation have been
in bad shape for number of years, and
there has been an increasing deficit an
nually until now the country is labor
ing under a debt of 81, ,362. 500, 900, or in
other words it is practically bankrupt.
The financial condition together with
the request for increased taxes for the
support Of the army is what caused the
downfall of the Crispi ministry and the
change in the cabinet, which recently
occurred.
The strength OF the army, including
regular and reserve forces, is a total of
,. 765.313 men and officers. The total
population of the nation is placed in
round numbers at 30.000.000 and the
estimated available number of men
capable OF bearing arms in time of war
is 100000.

After much observation of the

or watched by ''black mesour." or a

the future of the nation. She may be

THE talk oftrouble with Italy draws
attention to the strength of this nation
in case of need. While the standing
army is simply nucleus around which
to build an army, the reserve force Of
the nation is estimated at $500, 900 men
who are able bodied and prepared to
bear arms. This estimate is exclusive
of the militia OF the several states and
the regular army, which would be aGO.-
900 more. This is the number OF men
at what is known as -'army age
While the navy is generally supposed
to be almost worthless should war
occur this is not the facts in the case.
The naval powers of this country while
apparently weak is fit to cope with
Italy on any sea. The vessels are not
50 heavy, but the batteries and distribu-
tion Of armor is so vastly superior 10
the Italian ships that in a fight the
United States would not come off second
best. The policy of this country has
been to profit by the experience of
the foreign countries and the result has
been that we now have the best battle
ships afoat.

Following is the letter of notification
of withdrawal Of Baron Fava and Secre.
tary Blaine's reply:
ROYAL LEGATION OF ITALY.
WASHINGTON. March 81, 1891.
Mr.. Secretary of State.
BY my two notes OF the 18th and 18th
inst. | had the honor of calling your
eXcellency's attention to the occurrences
OF exceptional gravity which took place
at New Orleans on the 14th. whereby
four subjects of the king of Italy. who
were confined in the prison Of that city,
were massacred by the crowd, under
the leadership OF two American citi-
zens.
After having formally protested
against the unjustifiable conduct of the
local authorities, who were evidently
recreant 10 all their duties on that Oc-
casion, | reserve to the government OF
his majesty the right to demand such
satisfaction as it might think proper,
since the occurrences in question con-
stituted a patent violation of the stipu-
lations of the treaty in force between
our two countries which secures to
Italian subjects residing in the Uaited
States the same protection that is en-
joyed by American citizens and which
has always been extended to the latter
in Italian territory.
The reparation demanded by the
government Of the king, as have had
the honor to inform you, in our inter-
views held during the last few days,
was TO consist of the following points:
FirSt-The official assurance by the
federal government that the guilty
parties should be brought to justice.
Second-the recognition, in principle
that an indemnity is due to the relatives
OF the victims.
Your eXcellency was pleased to de-
clare to me that as the federal govern
ment did not think it could take this
view of the case, il declined to take the
two Aforesaid demands into considera-
ton. Under these circumstances, the
government OF his majesty, considering
that the legitimate action of the kings
minister at Washington becomes in
has ordered me to take my
leave.
In obedience to the instructions which
have received, l have the honor to
announce TO your excellency that | am
going TO leave Washington as speedily
as possible, leaving the Marquis I'm
Deriali, his majesty's secretary of lega
ion, in charge of the current business
,f the royal legation.
Be pleased to accept, Mr.. Secretary
,f State, the renewed assurance OF my
highest consideration
FAvA.
His excellency. James G. Blaine, Secre-
tary Of State, Washington.

A STORM has been brewing in the
coke regions Of Pennsylvania for some
time and at o'clock on the morning of
April ?, it bursted with great fury at
the Morewood plant at Mount Pleasant.
The fight was brief and deadly. Sixty
five guards fired two rounds OF cartridges
into mob of strikers. Seven strikers
fell dead and about forty were wounded.
The strikers were making a raid upon
the works. They numbered about
twelve hundred and expected to destroy
the works and drive off the men there
at work, but when, in the inky dark
ness they received such deadly volley
they retired. More trouble was antici-

Under the Mckinley tariff dill the
duty on all imported sugars up to and
including No. 16 Dutch standard ceases
after this date, and they will hereafter
be admitted free of duty. This will ac-
crue to the benefit OF the masses, as it
will reduce the cost of the raw material
to refners one and three-auarter cents
to two cents, and enable them to make
corresponding reductions in prices of
the refined article. The people gener-
ally will realize more forcibly the bene-
fit 70 them of the Mckinley bill when
they find that it has reduced the cost of
this important staple fully two cents

WHAT THE DUILIo CAN DO.
As the Duilio could train her foul
largest guns and two of the 4.7-inch
guns on an object abeam she could
deliver at one charge about S.065 pounds
OF metal at an enemy. A range OF al
least twelve miles could probably be
secured with the heaviest OF her guns
by giving a sufficient elevation, thus
insuring her power to shell New York
city and Brooklyn from the open sea.
Such elevation could be given only by
heeling the ship over considerably, as
the normal maximum elevation is not
more than ID degrees.
The Lepanto, is also one OF pair, the
Italia being her twin. The Lepanto has
displacement of 1850 tons. She is
built of steel and carries a water line
belt OF compound armor amidships six
teen inches thick and a central citadel
OF compound armor nineteen inches
thick. The arrangement of turret is
similar to that in the Duillo, but the
four turret guns are modern 17-inch
breech-loading rifles. and she has also
eight 5.9-inch breech-loading rifles,
eighteen machine guns and four torpedo
tubes. Her maximum speed is 1888
knots an hour, and with 1850 tons of
coal her cruising capacity at ten knots
an hour is $500 miles. She has engines
of $4,000 horse power and twin screws.
The weight OF metal deliverable at one
discharge on one beam or the other
would be 1000 pounds for each of the
four 1I-inch guns and eighty pounds for
each of the four 5.9-inch guns that
would bear, making a total of $500
pounds.
OTHER WAR SHIPS.
Besides these battle ships Italy has
three ships OF generally similar design
to the Duilio, namely--the Andrea
Doria, the Francesca Morosini and the
Ruggiero di LAURA: also the Re Um-
berto, somewhat similar to the Lepanto.
The Stella and the Sardegna, building
On the Re Umberto' designs, are not
yet finished.
OF older types of armOred ships she
has the Affondatore, of 4.376 tons: the
Ancona, the CastelfiGardo, the Maria
Pia and the San Martino, OF about 4, 200
.ons each: the Principe Amadeo and
Roma, of 5,9l4 tons each: the Formida-
bile and the Terrible, of 2,735 tons
Zach, and the Varese of 1900 tons. |
Most of these are about on par with |
,ur old monitors, except that they |
AIRY much better batteries than our
do.
Italy has some of the finest cruisers
II the world, notably the Piemonte and

Italr's Eiphtinv ihiIitr

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 6.-The
American people have generally an
erroneous idea OF the italian navy.
While it does not contain as many ships
as the navy Of England or that of
France, it has probably the most gen.
orally efficient vessels aioat. Italyhid
not begin TO build her new vessels until
the experiments made by other nations
had enabled her to decide. upon types
that, even in the light OF more modern
naval construction, are the most formi-
dable in the world. She has, either
finished or well advanced. TWENTY-FIVE
armoured ships. OF these. ten are
modern built. having a displacement O.:
II 900 tons or more each. They have a
speed of more than fifteen and one-half
knots, and carry the heaviest guns
afoat, namely. Armstrong breech-ioad-
ing rifles OF thirteen to seventeen inch
caliber. Her uuarmored navy afoat
contains twelve modern cruisers and
ten gunboats. launched since 1880. and
she has seven cruisers and several gun
boats building. Although two Of her
largest and most powerful battle ships
were launched as far back as IS16-IS.
they are far from being obsolete.

THE DCILIO

is such vessel. At the time of her
launching in 1876 she was the largest
war ship in the world, and when the
DandoiO, her twin, was put afloat in
1873. the two had no near rivals in anv
navy. She has displacement of II. .l3S
tons, and she can carry 1000 tons of
coal, which will enable her to steam
3, 160 knots at a speed of ten knots an
hour. Her maximum speed is fifteen
knots an hour. Her guns are four H.
Pinch 1G0-ton muzzle-loading rifles,
three 4.I-inch breech-loading rifles. and
fourteen machine guns. She has also
three fixed torpedo tubes for discharg-
ing Whitehead or other similar tor
pedos. She has twin screws an engines
of 1, 800 horse power.
U the design of the Duilio and
Dandolo the chief result in view was to
combine the thickest armor and the
most powerful guns ever put into a
ship. 1t was declared impossible that
such heavy armor as was desired should
be used al over the ship, hence the

Bismarck Does Not Approve Them. and
 Manufacturers Are Protesting.
 BERLIN, Dec. 15-A deputation of the manufacturers of Slogan, in Prussian Westphalia, visited Bismarck for the purpose of obtaining his views on the new commercial treaties with Austria and Italy, which the visitors were n ot inclined to approve. Prince Bismarck received them frankly, an d showed no hesitation in replying. He said that he was averse to the policy of which these treaties were the expression, and tha he had no desire that there should be any doubt on the subject.
 He had thought that to ascend the tribune for the purpose of opposing the government would be repugnant to him; but his regard for the national in- terest would havs outweighed that sem timenr, however painful to himself such an appearance would have been. He would, therefore, have attended the Reichstag before, and entered his pro doctor forbidden the exerJion.
 The Prince did not intimate as to whether he would yet take his place in the Reichstag. The appearance of op- position to the commercial treaties among German manufacturers has given occasion for surprise, as ons of the grounds upon which the Govern ment asked approval for the treaties was tht advantage they would give to German manufacturing interests, and it was ol this ground also that the treaties hav | been opposed by Austrian manufacturers
