RoMR, April 1.-The Tibuna says:
We do not believe that any complica-
tions need be feared. The demands Of
Italy are so moderate, that a solution
satisfactory to both countries might be
found before Baron Fava's departure
from America. Italy only asks an act Of
Justice, and free, civilized country can
not refuse that long.
In It's issue Of tomorrow morning the
Popolo Romano, the leading organ Of the
opposition, will declare that the entire
country approves the recall Of Baron
Fava. 1--WE still hope that the United
States will afford Italy satisfaction.
When Americans are the offended par
ties satisfaction Is demanded because
the persons concerned are citizens Of the
Union; but when the offended parties
are foreigners, the Union throws the
responsibility upon the offending State,
All Europe will uphold our demands,
II we cannot obtain the solemn rights
which one great people owe 10 another
we will at least allow Ourselves the sat
isiachon Of sending back American yes
sells filed with wheat for our markets
and returning TO the Yankee breedeFa

FAIRMoNT, w. VAn April 1.-There
have bsen two dastardly attempts nade
to wreck passenger trains between this
point and Grafton in the last forty-eight
hours, and the circumstances are such
as to lead to the belief that there is a
plot ON thepart Of some party or parties
to cause a wholesale destruction Of life
and property. Is ~
Monday afternoon, while Hon. Sam
uel Gramm, a amembsr ofthe Legislature
from Taylor county, who lives in Fetter-
man. one mile west Of Grafton, was
walking up the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road track toward Grafton, he noticed
some pieces OF iron wedged in frog Of q
switch near Fetterman. The Wheeling
accommodation train, loaded with pas.
aengers for points between Grafton and
Wheeling, was due, and there was bare.
ly enough time to remove the obstruc-
ton and avoid terrible accident,
which was done.
Last night a similar plot was discov.
cred at the same place afew minutes be.
fore the Chicago vestibule train was
due. Had the discovery not been made
the loss OF life would have been fright
fuI, as the train consisted OF FIVE heavily
loaded coaches.
To-day and tonight, watChmen have
been stationed along the road, and every
precaution is being taken to avoid q
repetition OF the attempt. The supposi.
tion is that 1t is the work Of gang OF
tramps who have been lettering in the
vicinity.

many months will be required in which
to complete them, and many more to
arm and plate them with armor. The
armor has not yet been rolled. Il is
idle to talk Of building navy In few
months. The views set out by Senator
Ingalls, in his naval article are certainly
not believed by himself. It Is ridiculous
70 naval experts to hear boasts Of repeat
ing what we did during the war. Then
we were pitted against people without
q navy and almost without the possible
tiles OF one. We sWelled our navy list
rapidly to over 500 vessels. But what
did they amount TO? Anything that
would serve as gun platform or carry Q
gun was bought or built.
"0ur new cruisers-about O dozen IN
number-would be OF service, and would
be fought for all they are worth. But
they were never intended to stand before
armored battle ships, or against anything
else than such unRrmored vessels as their
own class. They would, however, be
useful to destroy the lines OF water com.
munication by which foreign naval
force on our coast must receive their
coal and supplies"
In conclusion Commodore Ramsay
said he did not feel that New York was
in imminent danger, even in the event
OF war. The heavy draft Italian war
ships could not successfully bombard the
city without entering the harbor, and
they were not likely to enter the harbor,
because, aside from the perils Of nayiga.
ton, certain preparations could and
would speedily be made to render the
water untenable for them. Submarine
mines could bs arranged, although II
did not follow that hostile vessel would
be obligiug enough 10 pass over them.
Torpedoes could be planted, but the his
tory OF naval operations in the James
river showed that they did not render 9
river impossible to the feet. But these
devices are all Of use and supplement
ted by other defensive measures that
could be adopted, but which could not
now be described, they would probably
make New York city tolerably safe from
a naval attack.

A Colored Man Demonstrates the wisdom

Two colored men and one white man
were standing atthe corner Of Fourteenth

O'Clock. 0a Market street, Just in front
OF them, were two two.horss wagons
loaded with household goods. Two Of
the men on the pavement carried whips
ane would occasionally yell "whoan at
the horses when they became restless
from long Standing, indicating that they
were In charge Of the wagons and teams.
The three were eating peanuts and
the horses stamped, hung their heads
and started as though they would not
mind Ieating something too. Another
coloIed man came up, and noticing the
wagons were in charge Of colored men,

AT this juncture q man, apparently in

and tried to expostulate with the col.
