Well Informed Circles I'm Rome DO Not Be-
heve He Will Proceed to Extremes.
ROME, April l3.-Up to noon today il has
been impossible to learn anything further con-
corning 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 tomorrow. Officials are
reticent and journalists are unable TO secure
definite confirmation or denial. At the Ameri-
can legation nothing can be learned. Minister
Porter has heard nothing except what he has
gained from the papers.
In well informed circles the prevailing opin-
Ion, as near as one can gather, is that the
premier will not proceed to extremites at this
Juncture. Ii is argued that whatever beneficial
effect such display of vigor might have in in
creasing the popularity of the present cabinet
must be only temporary, inasmuch as il would
leave the New Orleans incident farther from
settlement than ever, while the American gov
ernment would doubtless be so irritated by the
Italian policy as to make any settlement impos-
sible.
While the prevailing opinion thus is that
Marquis di Rudini will not take the rash step
reported to be in contemplation. the report
sui continues to show some vitality Word
comes from Paris that the Journal des Dsbdts
this morning prints dispatch from its Rome
correspondent reasserting that the Italian gov
eminent had really threatened TO give the
United States minister his passports unless
Secretary Blaine replied by tomorrow. But ii
Is believed here that the correspondent of the
Deodts was simply repeating the report in cir
cuiatlon here Saturday and had no further
authority therefor.

ABOUT OHIO POLITICS.
What Representative Cultivate Has to Say
of the Situation.

What Representative Cultivate Has to Say
of the Situation.
Representative Cultivate, talking with STAR
reporter today, said that politics in Ohio were
still unsettled as to the future. very hard
fight, though conducted in a most amiable
manner, was being made against Gov. Camp
bell. The democrats were not attacking
the governor, he said, but every
sort Of argument and influence was being
brought to bear upon him to induce him to
withdraw. Mr.. Cultivate thought, however,
that Mr.. Campbell would be renominated and
the race would be between him and Mckinley
for the governorship this fall II Mckinley
should win it would undoubtedly make him a
strong candidate before the next republican
convention.
Speaking of the recent local elections in Ohio
he said that the fight was on local matters and
the election was influenced chiefly by them.
but that the democrats were probably weakened
by some of the Campbell folks fighting the
legislature and some of the friends of the Gin
cinnati board of improvements fighting the
Complexities.
With relation to the organization of the next
House Mr.. Cultivate expressed surprise at the
attempts being made in the interest of other
candidates to question Mr.. Crisp's position on
the tariff question. "Why," he said, Mr..
Crisp Is as good tariff reformer as is in
the House. Everybody who has
known him in Congress knows that. His
record cannot be questioned earnestly. He
made better speech on the subject than was
made by any democrat not mtmber of the
ways and means committee. He did more for
tariff reform than was necessary for a man not
on the committee to do

The Reports Coming From France and Ger
many-The kaiser's Proposition.
LONDON, April ia Paris dispatch SAYS that
the French naval authorities express them
selves as much amused at the kaiser's PROPOSE
ton that in the next war. the German feet
should destroy the enemy by one great coup.
The French are confident of beng able TO
maintain their maritime superiority to the Ger

leading admiral is credited with the remark
that very few of Germany's vessels would sur
vive the coup: that it would be another LISA
and with more disastrous consequences to Ger
many than that battle was to Italy.
In other quarters the kaiser's remarks are
accepted as indicating set purpose to pro-
woke conflict with France and Russia and at
no distant date. The manufacture of arms in
France for the Russian army is being fastened
and the Russian forces will soon be completely
equipped with the most modern weapons of
destruction 1t is said that the cars gratifi-
cation with the promptitude and perfection of
the French manufacture of repeating rifles for

Is not regarded as a sign Of peace. 1t is said
that the kaiser desires to inspect for himself

the direction Of France, and that later he will

There is no Disgusting the fact that the almost
universal impression prevails in Germany that
war is near at hand and no official assurances
can remove the impression.
Appropriate to the war spirit of the times is
the proposition to hold in Leipsic an interna-
tional red cross exhibition. 1t will include,
among other things, all appliances for cooking
and preparing food for armies in the field. The
best method Of feeding troops both in peace
and war is to be shown and special attention
will be given to field bakeries, steam kitchens
and the equipment and care of troops in the
field and in the colonies.

He Will Take but Three Newspaper Men as
His Guests.
When the first details of the presidential trip
were being considered the question was con-
fronted of how the press should be accommo-
dated. The President dislikes travelling, as it
were, with brass band, and he soon indicated
that his preferences were to have as few news
paper representatives on board the train as
possible
1t was accordingly decided that it would be
practicable to take only representatives of the
three press associations, thus avoiding any
undue discrimination. The line was drawn
very strictly against the genus Especial CORE
spondent," in view of the fact that there are so
many of that class in Washington that to take
all would have required special train, and it
would be impolitic to invite one or half dozen
and snub the rest.
Hence the President invited but three news
paper men, Messrs. Alfred J. Clarke of the As
ISOLATED Press, Richard V. Oulahan of the
United Press, and Oscar p Austin of the Press
News Association. These gentlemen will fur
nish the world with all of the details of the
trip that will find their way into print. They
