WHETHER THE ROME GOVERNMENT REC
oGNIzEs THE EXPOSITION OR NOT.
Washington, Sept ID CspcclaD.-The Marquis I'M
pera the italian Charge dAfslrcs has informed the
local ltao-American Worlds Fair Committee that the
Government at Rome recognize the Worlds Fair
Officially or participate in any way in It, the Gov
ernment some time ago adopted the principle OF non
participation in international exhibitions. The Gov
eminent promises however, 10 assist unoiciay Italian
subjects who may wish to exhibit at Chicago.
Professor Francis r. Fava, IT,. the vice president OF
the committee on Promotion OF the Exposition was
asked today whether he Ind seen the Marquis I'M
perfalPs statement. "The answer he replied is no
news to me- II was given out unofcially in the week
following the first meeting of the Committee on Pro-
motion last July. Why the Official transmission of the
answer was delayed so long do not know
"Win the Itao-Americans OF the country consider
TINS answer as final and discontinue further efforts in
behalf OF the Worlds Fair ~
" by no means,' replied Professor Fava with emphn-
sis; on the contrary this but marks the beginning of
our work. There Is more patriotism In us than that.
We shall hardly be able TO take any definite action
before the full committee meets in December in re-
spouse TO the call issued last week. But this much is
certain That we shall leave stone unturned to bring
the Government Of Italy to another view Of the sit
uaton."
"Do you know of this long-adopted rule of the
Italian Government not to participate in any inter
national exhibition"
may be mistaken, but I never heard Of ii before
1882 IL my memory Is not treacherOus, there was, a
few years ago, some talk Of International exhibition
In Rome. How would that be consistent with long
existence Of the policy OF isolation advocated ?"
"Then you think that the Italian Government ought
to participated"
Yes and for two reasons first, because the Worlds
Fair is in honor of of the greatest OF Italy
secondly because the commercial interests that would
be fosered between the two countries simply be-
yond calculation. That imposes on a government
duties which IL evade with vague promises Of
assistance. But II cannot induce the Government
TO be represented officially we shall drop the question
Of sentiment, and that practical Urn be given TO
its promises to assist those Italians desiring exhibit
in Chicago by securing for them those facilities which
IL is in the power OF the Italian Government to give
Them and organizing an Itao-Amelican bureau ef in
formation and prOmOtiOn'

PENsE OF THE SMALLER BODIES.
Chicago, sept Alt is becoming apparent to tho
close observers Of railroad affairs that the Western
Traffic Association is quietly wording to extend It's
power and influence, by taking away from the smaller
associations their individual strength. Not only has
the Western Passenger Association been affected by
this movement but the Western Freight Association
has also been deprived Of much of It's importance.
This has been opposed by the lines not members Of the
Western Traffic Association but in vain. significant
circumstance is the fact that the Western Freight
Association has decided to hold its meetings bmonhly
instead of monthly hereafter. Another circumstance
is the absence Of Chairman Midgcy from the last two
meetings and that the special meeting was for the
most part attended by Assistant General Freight
Agents, instead Of by the higher traffic officials Rail
