gates Will Bolt.

st. Louis, June 1.-THE Colorado
delegation held a meeting tonight and
decided in positive terms to leave the
convention in a body upon the adoption
of the platform containing a declara-
tion for a gold standard. 1t has been
frequently announced that they would
pursue this course but there has really
been more or less doubt up to tonight
that they would, one or two members
of the delegation being in doubt as to
the wisdom of the course. Senator
Teller was present and told the other
members of the delegation that he APP
preciated to the utmost the gravity
of the step and that notwithstanding
their instructions each delegate should
be governed by his opinion; he felt
that the occasion was one when every
man should be guided largely by his
opinion.
The decision to go out of the con-
vention was unanimous. The Idaho
delegation as a body, majority of the
Utah and Navada delegations and
part of the Montana and North Caro-
lima delegations will go out with the
Colorado men.

Love and Initeracy in England.

Despite all that the English educa-'
ton acts have accomplished during the
last quarter of a century the men who,
in 1894, signed the marriage register
with marks instead of with their names
were in the proportion of 46 per 1000,
while the similarly illiterate women
reached "a per 1000. The registrar
general states that in IA out of every
1000 marriages both bridegroom and
bride signed with marks. That some
improvement is going on is, neyerthe-
less, made evident by the circumstances
that, unsatisfactory as the foregoing
figures may appear, yet, as compared
with those of 1893, the proportion Of
men who signed with marks exhibits
a diminution equal to eight per cent.
and that of women a diminution of SO
per cent.

GENERAL BALDISSERA.
Italy's New Commander in Chief
in Abyssinia.
He Is in Many Respects Most Interesting
Personality Fought over Twenty
Duels to Establish His Repu-
tation as q Patriot.

Gen. Baldissera, the new commander
in chief of the italian army in Africa,
is very interesting personality. He
is 81 years of age, having been born in
1889, at Undine, in the Friull, which at
that time, together with the whole of
the Venetian provinces and Lombardy,
belonged to Austria, When child he
was picked up in the street by the
bishop of Udine, who, seeing him bright
and intelligent, recommended him TO
Empress Marianne of Austria, at whose
expense the young boy was educated at
the military academy of Wiener-Neu-
stadt. In 1859, when a lieutenant Of
hussars, he fought with great valor
against his own countrymen, whowere
led by the king Of Piedmont allied to
Napoleon Ill, and he distinguished
himself so much in a reconnoiter, in
which he swan across the sesia river
under the enemy's fire, that he was
decorated with the gold medal for valor.
In the campaign of 1866 he was major
of battalion of lager in Bohemia, and
in the battle of Skalitz gained another
medal. In all that time in which Italy
was fighting, especially against Austria,
for her independence and unity, he
was several times urged to desert, as
many of his Italian brother officers in
the Austrian army were doing every
day; but he always refused because of
the gratitude he had for the imperial
family and the benefits directly received
from them.
However, when, after the war of 1866,
the Lombardo-Venetian provinces were
ceded to Victor Emanuel, and Baldis-
sera's birthplace passed into the pos
session of the new kingdom of Italy,
he did not consider himself further
bound to serve Austria, which was no
longer his fatherland, and passed into
the italian army as major of Bersag-
lieri in Milan. At first the Garibaldian
and Piedmontese parties attacked him
fiercely for what they called his tardy
resolution to serve his mother country,
and he had to fight over 20 duels in less
than two months, in which he was near
ly always successful. He went to Africa

truth early in life. But he had strong
hand and strong mind and he emerged
from his troubles in triumph. He is
universally acknowledged to be q great

in 1877, after the massacre of Dogali,
where a column of 500 Italians were
annihilated by 10000 Abyssinians led
by Ras Alula. Gen. Baldissera COM
manded one of the brigades under Gen.
San Mariana, who was sent to Africa
with 10000 men, while another brigade
was under the orders of Gen. LAMA,
now Italian ambassador to Berlin.
After the San Mariana expedition had
resolved itself into q useless military
demonstration, Gen. Baldissera was
left as governor of the Erythrea colony,
and to him is in a great part due the
best which has been done in the italian
settlements. He was especially averse
to what was called the Shoan policy,
personified in Count Antonelli, and con-
sisting in helping Menelek, and always
said it was great mistake TO cooperate
in his plans of making united and pow
erful Ethiopia with supreme ruler.
According to him the best policy was
10 maintain and augment the quarrels
between the different Ras, so that no
one of them would ever be in a condi-
tion to defy the Italians with the whole
force of Abyssinia- He was the first
to organize the native troops, which
have done such good service. His dis
tinct military character is especially
shown by the way he answered the fire.
