of foreign affairs. said in regard to the
conditions. imposed upon Italian emf
grants:
"We have been in Communication
! with the United States govern
ment and have the satisfaction
TO announce we have found tho
authorities at Washington to be most
anxious to cooperate with ours with the
view of protecting our emigrants from the
snares of so-caIled agents and bankers at
the ports of arrival and to put them in the
wayaof embarking in profitable agricuI-
tural pursuits. We hope to attain the
same result with Mexico, whose govern
ment appears to be well disposed"
Baron Blanc proceeded to refute the as
sertion of one of the deputies vino claimed
the New Orleans affair nearly led to the
dispatch O; the Italian men-cf-war to the
United States. saying: 'The barbarous
lynch law, falling npon innocent Italians,
unfortunately interrupted the friendly re-
lations existing be, ween the two countries
and served to tho profit of the illegal assas-
sins which preyed upon our emigrants. /
believe the restoration OF harmony will
have the effect of delivering Italian emf
grants from local tyranny and that il will
direct.t hem to new fields Of agriculture and
colonization, especially 10 the southern
states of A merica, where Spanish is spoken
and where the climate is similar to that
of Italy. The more secure legal aud social
status will open to them prospect not less
favorable than in the South American re-
publics."
Dealing with the African colonies, Baron
Blanc announced that Premier Crispi and
Sir Francis CIareford, the British ambas-
sailor, had today signed protocol fixing
the boundaries of the Italian and British
spheres of interest in the regions situated
about the gulf of Alden.
Continuing, Baron Blanc assured the
chamber That the government intended to
pursue, in the African colonies, approved
methods Of commercial expansion.
Inc baron referred to the position of
Abyssinia, where, be said, Italy was called
upon to undertake = tutelage which
was highly important for the fu-
ture of the African continent, where
henceforth, the interests of the various
nations wOuld be SO involved that It Was
impossible to consider them independ-
emily. The problem, added the minister
OF foreign affairs, was somewhat cOmpli-
Gated, but Italy had tull confidence that
her representatives would he firm ia the
maintenance of the territory already
acquired and the protectorate recognized
by the powers.
Baron Blanc also said: 'Tn the face of
a somewhat difficult situation. our inter-
ests In the Soudan region are naturally
solid with those of England
In conclusion the foreign minister sug-
gested the necessity Of q water way which
would unite centralAfrica with the Medi-
terrean and Caravan routes connecting
fhe lake region with the coasts for the
future development of Africa.

HERoISM OF A BOY.

He Rescued Several Persons at tho Risk
of His Own Life.
A terrible railroad accident happened
In Hoboken, N. j., little while ago.
An accommodation train, running too
fast in the fog, crashed into standing
express. There was schoolboy on the
express who had been sitting in the
rear car studying his lesson. AS the
express train slowed up a feeling of
oppression took hold of him. He sud-
denly remembered hearing his grand
father once say that the rear car was
the most dangerous one in the train,
and acting on an impulse of the mo-
ment he got up and went through one
car into the third from the rear. He
was scarcely seated when he felt the
car crumbling beneath him and found
himself entangled in a mass of men
and wreckage.
Wounded and bloody, the boy extri-
Gated himself. Above the rush of es-
Gaping steam rose the agonized cries of
the unfortunates pinned beneath the
broken timbers. Men were dazed and
aghast.
IAN ax an ax!" shouted shrill
voice.
The schoolboy was the first to gather
his wits and start the work of rescue.
With an AK he saved three or four men
before the older bystanders had begun
to think.
Then cry of horror from another
point called an excited group of men
together. Beneath the wrecked en-
gine, amid the dropping Goals and es-
Gaping steam, was seen the figure of a
man. The sight was the more sicken-
ing because the dead locomotive was
liable to topple over any instant and
crush whatever lay beneath it. There
was a cry for volunteers.
The conductor called; the engineer
called; but all held back. Not all; out
of the crowd came slight figure whose
clothes were torn, whose face was al
most unrecognizable from blood and
SCOT, and whose hands were black from
merciful toll.
''Ill go! Let me go quick!' cried the
schoolboy.
The crowd stood back, while few
made an effort to stop him: but the

TEACHING A SPARROW TO FLY.

How a Baby Bird That Got Out of It's
Nest Was Coaxed Into Getting Back
Again.
In the worst of rain the other day
a servant brought into brown-stone
house up town little baby sparrow
that was found, wet and draggled, cold,
helpless and hungry. The bird was
wrapped in warm flannel, and kept in
a basket, but it flew out so often and
flew so vigorously that it's captors de-
termined to set it free after two days
had passed. During an interval of sup-
shine it was released at an open Win
dow. 1t at once flew across the street,
pressed its beak against window over
there, huttered against the smooth
glass for while, and then dropped
down upon the brown-stone stoop. AT
that instant it's mother joined it. She
fiuttered all around it, leaped over it
backward and forward, stroked and
plucked it with her beak, and chat
tered to it volubly and incessantly.
Presently she flew away and alighted
on tree top. AS the baby bird did not
follow her, she flew back to it and
talked to it still more excitedly.
Again she flew to the tree, where she
had her nest, and this time the little
bird tried to follow her. But it flew
the wrong way. 1t could not manage
itself. 1t could not direct it's own
movements. 1t flew straight up and
fell back on the. baluster of the stoop
next door. Back came the mother and
renewed her chatter, and, presently,
she flew off, but only to the middle OF
the quiet street. This time the baby
did better 1t flew up, wavered in the
air, and came down close beside its
mother. She caressed it with her beak
and again urged it to follow her. She
rose to the nest in the tree, and hel
baby succeeded in reaching the branch
near the nest. With few hops, he
reached the nest, and the mother birc
brought him food from the street.-N

Little Repartee.
A bicycle had collided with coal
peddler's cart and lay tangled mass
of ruins upon the pavement. The vari-
Gus parts of the machine soon began an
animated discussion as to what par
ticular part was to blame for the dis
aster.
'You lost your bearings" grumbled
the handle bar to the wheel.
''And you are not fit to be pedaled,"
retorted the wheel.
I'm sorry spoke" was the cour-
teous reply.
"You two tire me to death" put in
the chain.
swell, the handle bar was trying to
saddle the affair onto me" remarked
the wheel, with trihe of resentment
in its tone.
"Be quiet, you rubberneck," /" chirped
in the handle bar.
WAS your headlight?" responded the
wheel, viciously
SIT may have been, but there are no
wheels in it,"
''May axle little question:" meekly
inquired the chain.
'.Ilt cog-itate upon the matter" re-
piled the handle bar, and the stiffness
of the night was broken only by the
wind as it whistled through the pnen-
matte tube-Louisville Post.
