visions of the American Constitution reserv-
inc the sovereignty of States III all matters not
granted to the Federal Government D'Arco
retorted warmly We have nothing to do
with your constitution. We know no cOnsti-
tuition our dealings are with you as nation.
No constitution Is worthy Of a free and CIV

the weak If your constitution Is wanting
in that. it is your business 70 mend It."

America. and his feeling in this re-
spect is shared by the higher nobility
and nearly all who mingle in the circle Of the
court. The people, however, are excited, and
even more than when the news of the massa-
ere first arrived The American-Italian papers
received within the past day or two have caused
the impression in Rome that the massacre
