ITALY AND BRAZIL.
This Government Not Advised of ANY
Trouble.

WASHINGTON, Nov. D. - Nothing is
known officially here of the reported trou-
BILE between Italy and Brazil, which is said
to have reached a phase so acute that
Italy has threatened to send fleet OF war
vessels to Brazil to enforce her demands.
But it is known from unofficial sources that
the two Governments have been at odds
for nearly year, owing to demand made
by the Italian Government for indemnity
for the maltreatment of number of ltal-
ian subjects and the destruction of their
property in the course of riots in Rio. AS
nearly as can be gathered, Brazil had ad-
mitted some degree of accountability and
the question at issue is one of amount
of indemnity rather than of principle.
From some sources il is learned that
Italy is trying to browbeat Brazil because
of her weakened condition, but from the
last reports the new Brazilian Government
is in much better position to resist any un-
just demands than has been generally
supposed.

SCORED THE COURT.
The Trial of the Negro-Lynchers Full
of Sensations.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov 26.-There was
another sensational trial of the alleged
lynchers to-day. Attorney-General Pat
tersOn attempted to place his associate
counsel, eX-Attorney- General Peters, on
the stand and was prevented on the
ground that Peters had been present in
the courtroom during the trial and
was therefore incompetent to tes-
tify. This ruling brought the Attor-
ney-General to his feet to deliver
scathing arraignment of the methods
of the court In dealing with the case. He
said that the ruling out of testimony so
important on grounds so trivial was
mock of justice and a travesty on the law.
The Attorney further remarked
that if this evidence were ruled out he
would wash his hands of all RESPONSE
bilty for the prosecution of the case.
Then he entered upon an elaborate argu-
ment for the admission of the evidence, to
which reply no less caustic and equally
forcible was made by the counse for the
defense. In the end the court took the
matter under Amusement and adjourned
the court for the day.

LONDON, Nov. 27.-Princess Bismarck
died at o'clock this morning.
1t may be said that Prince Bismarck
owed much of what he was to his wife.
Johanna Friederike Charlotte Dorothea
Eleonore. Princess Won Bismarck, born
April II, 1924, nee Puttkammer; won by the
Chancellor when he was known as the
'Toller Bismarck" in spite of the protest
of her people. They were married July
%, 1847, and they had children, according
to the Almanack de Gotha: Countess
Marie. who is married to Count Cuno de
RantZan, and Counts Herbert and William.
The Princess was a splendid hausfrau and
her chief object In life was to make her
hus sband and her children comfortable and
happy.
The Prince once said Of her: "She 1t is
who made of me what l am" In 1851.
four years after his marriage, he was still
on his after-honeymoon. and In one of his
letters from Frankfort he wrote to her:
"1f | were again Obliged to live as
once did, without God, withoutyou and the
children, really do not see why | should
not cast this life aside like a dirty shirt

all blended with the sunset and Bee
thoven."
She had remarkable Influence over her
husband and being sensible and strong
minded woman, it can honestly be said
that she has always used that influence for
good. True. she has been sharply
criticized. especially for her love
of economy. When Bismarck was
in Office and living at the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs at the Wilhelmstrasse

nation of people who cannot be accused
of extravaganza in money matters The
furniture of the drawiug-room was
so old fashioned and insufficien n t
that old Emperor William several
| times sent the court uphosterer
to her. begging to be allowed to present
her with new and modern set of furni-
ture. The Princess, however, persistently
declined the offer, declaring that she did
not believe in spending money for
empty show, and tina. she did not
care at all whether she had TO
sit on horsehair sofa or on a
plush one. A woman with such views
would not be expected TO have many arti-
cles of luxury in her bedroom, and, in
deed, the only ornament in the Princess
bedroom is huge and splendid safe. Bis
