Strained Relations Between France an"
Italy Growing Out of Recent Riots.
ROME. Aug. 21.-The anti-Freneh agi-
tation started in consequence OF the
massacre of Italians at Agnes Morles
has gained ground rapidly since the
first demonstrations were made. Late
Saturday evening mob attacked the
Santa Shaira seminary OF french
priests, tore down the escutcheons from
the facade, trampled them under foot,
smashed the windows and tried to force
doors. Further damage was prevented
by a strong force of police, who dis
persed the mob and guarded the SEMI
nary. company of police were sta
toned at the French embassy, as the
anti-French agitators have threatened
to sack it. In both Milan and Turin
incendiary anti-French manifestoes
have been issued.
The agitation spreads hourly. DEM
onstrative crowds paraded the streets,
shouting for the king and calling Tor
revenge for the Aigues- Morles sacrifice.
The police were in double force all the
evening and prevented riots. Az IL
o'clock thousands had packedthe Plaza
Colona. A dozen bands led the process
sions up the streets entering the square
and before II o'clock the whole distrlct
was filled with excited crowds The
bands played Italian and German airs,
while the people sang. The temper OF
the people is reflected by the news
papers, which are unanimous in dc
manding reparation from France ant

: At the same time the people are ex

--pavmaster Stevenson, whose long
DELAYED promotion has violently stirred
the whole navv, is man with strik-
ing personality and an interesting
record. When it was possible for pay
masters to distinguish themselves, he
earned the thanks of congress for gal
liant service. Neither advancing years
nor the sedative influence OF routine
has sufficed to lessen his ardor, and he
is recognized in the pay corps and
throughout the navy as possessed OF
one of the strongest individualities in
the service. His fame as good story
teller has extended beyond the navy
