said Editor Crispi of La Voce del Popolo
when stating the reasons that made him
yesterday decide to stand sponsor for the
new Italian paper, The Awakener,
which will make its frst-and very pos
slbly its last-appearance tomorrow. He
had been discussing the rumpus growing
out OF the attempt to pass resolutions in
regard to the assassination of President
Carnot and the riot that occurred at the
Garibaldi Hail on Tuesday night last.
The matter is not to be let drop all at
once.
The people who opposed Tuesday s
meeting have not spoken their minds yet, ="
continued Editor Crispi. "They are
anxious to do so through the medium of
the press, and after some hesitation |
have decided to edit the paper for them.
do not at all think that it will continue
to exist after it has served its purpose.
though. The intention is just to issue one
numb ber."
e. Borreo. however, who is one of the
promoters Of The Awakener, had very
different tale to tell. ''The paper will
live" he exclaimed with oratorieal empha-
sis, because it is backed up by men with
will and determination. We want to ex-
press our views. and we mean to express
them. Now, all the Italian colony was
unanimous in denouncing the eowardly
aot of that assassin at Lyons. but we OBJ
jected to the manner of doing it. Now
that we have begun to act we mean to go
Oh acting. We want to make Signor Gale
garis retire from the presidency of the
Chamber of Commerce"
When asked how he and his friends pro-
posed to accomplish this desire. Borreo re-
piled that they intended to issue circulars
calling on all their compatriots 10 attend a
mass-meeting. 1t is true that many others
OF the party opposed to Calegaris have
also mooted the question of a mass
meeting, but up to a late hour last night
no circulars had been prepared, nor had
the agitation committee been appointed.
The original plan of holding the meetng 9
to morrow has therefore been abandoned.
Editor Luigi MuZio of the Catholic Or
gan. La Verita. entertains ardent views
on the subject which is agitating the Ital-
ian colony, and had no object on when
seen yesterday to speak his mind.
"The mighty and those in the way to be-
come mighty are few in the colony. They
are ten, a dozen, perhaps, and Caiegaris

name OF the colony for his own ends !?

THE meeting on Tuesday night? No,
it was not what you eall-peaceful. But
what will you?" and Signor Muzio smiled
deprecatingly. MANY men come to-
gether; they get excited, hot-headed; they
see one man, Calegaris, who would repre-
sent the Italian colony. They say, If he

and the French Government. let him, that

sake of freedom we will issue circulars

who would rule the colony from being
president of the Chamb Der of Commerce"
Giuseppe Morgana, the co-editor of
Luigi Muzio in LA Verita," heartily in
dorsed all his colleagues statements, de-
claring also that the Catholic element in
the colony was strongly opposed to the
power assumed by Calegaris.
AS for the cause of all the talk, Signor
Calegaris expresses bland unconcern
for the people who are denouncing him
and all his works. 81 can leave any one

he observed to a CALL reporter. "What

president of the Chamber of Commerce,
that is nonsense. Only the chamber could
displaee me. No mass-meeting has any

One of the most respected members of
the Italian colony. j. f. Fugazi, expressed
regret yesterday that any one should have

"The fact is that If they had found pa

would have found that we all meant the

press sorrow for the death of President
