some one else's conception of a role, Is
likely to be mechanical. This view coin
cides with that of many who have noted
the woodenness and artificial manner of a
large proportion Of younger actors. They
have evidently been trained in a school of
elOcution and gesture, are utterly devoid of
oTiginal power, and have no Independent
and undivided conception Of their roles.
The same defect betrays itself in the man
ner of many public speakers. They show
fatal signs of having studied "elocution'
and are wholly wanting in spontaneity. The
case of more than one misguided man can
be called to mind who has ruined a pleas
ingly natural style of oratory by a course
of training which left him stilted and self
conscious in his manner ON the platform or
in the pulpit. Preliminary training of
speakers and actors may be necessary, but
it should be undertaken with caution.

THE ITALIAN INCIDENT.
1t Is Said to Have Left No III Feeling
on Either Side.

on Eftner Slde.
WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The Italian
incident, one of three international compli-
cations, is practically closed, so far as it
involves the relations of the United States
and Italy, and, instead of leaving irrita-
ton and i'll feeling, the affair appears to
nave resulted in further strengthening the
friendly relations between the countries.
ambassador Fava takes this view of the
incident, and expresses his appreciation of
the promptness and energy with which the
federal authorities and those of Colorado
sought to secure for Italians the same pro-
lection and redress as that given American
citizens during the mob l~awlessness at
Walsenburg. The ambassador believes that
the trouble in Colorado, as well as that in
New Orleans, will further awaken senti-
ment for a national law by which the
United States can see that full treaty pro-
lection is given to foreigners, even though
they be within the jurisdiction of the States.
After the New Orleans lynchings of some
years ago a strong sentiment for such a
law sprang up. 1t was shown in resolutions
and letters sent to Baron Fava from Bos-
ton and from the Universal Peace Union,
expressing the hope that the New Orleans
incident would lead to the enactment of a
national law ample to protect the treaty
obligations. Similar expressions have come
to the ambassador through the press and
otherwise as a result of the Colorado
trouble. He does not doubt that such an
enactment will result in a year or two from
the prevalence of public opinion now sup
porting it.
II can be stated authoritatively that the
reports circulated of Baron Fava's probable
transfer to a European station are ground
less. Such reports spread at the present
time are believed by diplomates here to be
inspired by the same malevolent influence
that exaggerated the meaning of Baron
Fava's personal and friendly correspond
ence with the Governor of Colorado. and
whose aim, it is said, is to endeavor to
disturb the friendship between the two
countries. Baron FaEa expressed the ODln-
ion that as far as the relations between
the representatives of the two countries,
both here and abroad, are concerned, such

DANA LIBEL CASE.
The Indicted Editor Must Appear be-
fore Judge brown on April 4.

NEW YORK, March 1S.-The libel case
against Charles A. Dana, of the Sun, which
was brought at the instance of Frank b.
Noyes, of the Washington Star, for GRIM
inal libel, drew a big crowd of newspaper
men and lawyers to Commissioner Shields's
room to-day. . Mr.. Dana was represented
by lawyers Elihu Root and Franklin Bart
lett, and United States District Attorney
MacFarlane appeared for the people. The
question at issue was whether the courts OF
the District of Columbia had the right of
demanding Mr.. Dana's removal from this
city to Washington, and Mr.. Root strenu-
ously asserted that the Washington courts
had not the power. He insisted that If a
crime were committed by the publication
of any statement in this city the case
should be tried in New York city, and
that there was no power invested in the
District courts of Washington to try such
a case.
Mr.. Dana arrived shortly after II o'clock.
and his son Paul came In a few minutes
later. United States District Attorney Mac
Farlane presented a certified copy of the
papers. which contain three counts of a
criminal libel Lawyer Root objected to
ground that they were not properly aa-
thenticated and that the statements con-
relevant.

tity Of Mr.. Dana. Thomas Hitchcock was
next examined. and Paul Dana was the
only other witness. The lawyers for the
defense raised a point as to whether Mr..
Dana had anything to do with the publica-
ton or circulation of the New York Sun.
and whether he could be held responsible
for anything that was published In that
paper on Feb. % of this year Lawyer
Roots objections were invariably overruled
by Commissioners Shields. Mr.. Hitchcock
said that Mr.. Dana had nothing to do with
the business management of the Sun news
paper. Mr.. Root said that he was advised
that Mr.. Moves was a citizen of the State
of Maryland. which fact he commended
should be considered by the commissioner

Readers of illustrated magazines are some
times at a loss to know what relation the
pictures bear TO the text, and a suspicion
arises that the artists have not carefully
read the work they profess to Illustrate.
A case of this kind is found in the current
issue of the Cosmopolitan. The writer sees
a portrait, in a. friends house, of that per-
sons great grandmother. He learns the
story of this grandmother and tells it. but
in the pictures representing her she figures
not as a woman OF a century ago. but as
a lady OF this end OF the mir -teenfh century.

A POWER NOT RESPECTED.

When the Harrison administration
closed it is fair to say that the attitude
of all the leading nations of the world
toward the United States was that of
respect. Reciprocal treaties had been
negotiated with most of them, much to
our advantage, because all of them de-
sired the avors of this country. Through
the ability of it's representatives and it's
retaliatory legislation Germany, France,
Spain, Austria and several South Ameri-
can governments had entered into re-
ciprocal relations which gave us adj
vantages in their respective markets.
The Harrison administration was re-
spected by these governments because
they were convinced that it had the in
telligence and the courage to compel a
proper consideration on the part of
Others
All this has changed in two years of
the Cleveland. laundering. Even the re-
duction of the tariff did not win from
other nations that good will which such
men as Mr.. Bynum ounted on as the
result of a cheaper access to our mar
kets. France, Germany and other gov
ernments were not long In learning that
the Cleveland administration could be
trifed with without danger of complica-
tons. They knew that the Harrison adj
ministration would nave retaliated with
the act with which the Republican CON-
gress had armed him. They soon learned
that the Cleveland administration would
not use that Measure r~esolutely. if at all,
to compel fair treatment. When the
reciprocity provisions of the tariff of
1890 had been repealed the governments
with which reciprocal treaties had been
negotiated under them made the repeal
a pretext for discrimination against the
products of the American farmer. As
the result our meats are practically shut
put of France and Germany, and our
breadstuffs have no advantage over
those of any competitor. In fact, hos
tile discrimination is the policy all along
the line, and as yet no effort has been
made beyond protests to stop it. Evil
IDENTIFY these governments assume that
they can pursue that hostile policy with
impunity. If the Cleveland administra-
ton had the spirit and purpose of its
predecessor European governments
would never have assumed the present
attitude of hostility to our interests.

Silver and wheat advanced the past
week. but from other and more tangible
causes than the mysterious affinity
which a class of would-be economists
claims to exist between the staff of life
and the white metal. The cause of the
advance is due to the reports showing
a rapid decrease in the worlds visible
supply of wheat and that there is much
less of that cereal in the hands of pro-
ducers in this country thar was gen
orally supposed The expectation that
China would require a large quantity of
silver with which to pay the indemnity
which Japan will demand has caused a
slight van in the price of silver bull
lion. These are natural causes and can
be easily understood.

food of us because we sell the best at
the lowest prices, and because she can
make more In selling it than similar
goods produced elsewhere. That is the
reason. and all the reason there is, con-
sequently there is no cause for this
offensive praise. When poorer wheat
can be sold it Is purchased in India. If

Great Britain purchases less now than
she did when the tariff was protective
