The correspondent got in his work
again wnen he wired the more or less
startling information 10 the newspapers
that Italy was about TO expel Minister
Porter from Rome, recall its entire EN-.
bassy, and declare war against this
Government. 1t now appears that
there was no foundation in fact for any
OF the wild and sensational statements
which have for several days filed the
columns of the American papers and
extended to the press of the world.
Secretary Blaine politely replied to the
note of the Italian Premier that the
New Orleans outrage would be inquired
into with caution and elaboration, and
when the work was completed i. would
be laid before the Italian cabinet. The
Italian Government recognize the
necessity for calm and cousderate
action, and will abide the outcome.
The Secretary Of State will not only as
certain the nationality aud Character
of the victims of the mob, but
he will extend his inquiry into
all the iawless acts and crimes
perpetrated by Italians in this country
and show to King Humbers that his
Maian subjects in this country are a
disturbing aud undesirable element,
whose disregard Of the Law and in
Vulnerable vendetsas have thrown not
only New Orleans but other cities into
periods of unmidled turbulence. In

Il, cos tanned . eoluma article Ga The
subject OF paving Main street lis TO
porters interviewed twenty one OF the
heaviest real estate and property own
ers along the street On the subject
fourteen of them advocated the use OF
asphalt and seven favored stone. Not
one mentioned any other material.
Concluding, the article says:
In nutshell. the people prefer as
pbalt provided they can gel kind that
will be durable. Those wno oppose as
phalt do 80 on the ground that they
don't think an asphalt pavement can
be laid that will be of lasting service.
Ii there Is an asphalt company that can

without the necessity Of repairing and
cap show instances 10 prove that Il has
stood long usage, that company can
doubtless proht by Buffalo's needs"
Next to Washington. Buffalo il the
best paved city in the country. The
testimony of the citizens Of that city
unmistakably favor asphalt. The mon-
key aud parrot work Of our council Is
enough to dishearten and discourage
the most hopeful. Monroe-st. needs
paving badly. The council needs CON-
mon sense still more. Both will fail OF
improvement unless somebody moves
in the interest Of the city and free from
the dictation Of competing paving COM
