S|GNOR CR|SP| DEAD
Italy's Greatest Statesman
Passes Away
DEATH WAS NOT UNEXPECTED
His Life had been Italy's His
tory for Fifty Years
He Had Been ultimately Connected
With the Italian State Affairs
eyer Since 1913

Naples, August ll.-Signor Crispi
died at 7:45 o'clock this evening. He
was surrounded by members of his,
family and several intimate friends
The.news was Immediately telegraphed
to King Emmanuel and Queen Helen.
The evening papers assert shat the
body will be conveyed by steamer to-
Palermo, where the municipality win
arrange for great public funeral.
1t is rumored that Signor Crispi's
will authorizes a prominent Italian
politician to examine his papers and
TO publish his memoirs.
Francesca Crispi was not only the
greatest statesman in Italy, but one of
the greatest statesmen upon the earth.
Like many of his kind, he began BY
studying law and making speeches.
If you take the history of Italy from
lS4S to the present time you have the
story OF Crispi's life. He was part of
it and made much of it, Crispi has
been called the Bismarck of Italy, but
1t would be quite as correct to say
that Bismarck is the Crispi of Ger
many. The difference is only one Of
degree, Crispi's political life took
root in the conspiracies that led to the
overthrow of the two Siclies. He fled
to France, and in 1859 he was organic
ing another Sicilian revolution. He
was friend of Garibaldi, a minister,
parliamentarian, soldier, leader
of the constitutional opposition.
Again he was president of the cham
ber. He sought to hurt the French
republic, visited Berlin and London,
became minister of the interior. and
for ten years-irom 1878 to 1Sss-he,
was internationally is power. In 1887
Crispi began to cultivate his friend
ship with Bismarck, and the two
statesmen often conferred in the pal
ace at Friedrichsruh, the result o
which was that Italy became a part q
the triple alliance.
Pursuing this lie, the people we're
taxed out of their bread, :and CFispi
became very unpopular. On two Oc-
casions attempts were made.to assas-
sinate him. In 1888 he won a great,
victory, was prime minister, but felA
because of his determined policy in
the matter of taxation.

CONFERENCES AT CANTON.
Visitors From Kentucky Discuss the
Internal Revenue CoIlectOrship.

CANTON. Ohio. July 29-This was an
other Kentucky day at the Mckinley
home. Sam J. Roberts, of Lexington,
collector of internal revenue for that dis
trict, had a conference with the President,
but said his call had no political signifi-
cance and was merely for the purpose OF
paying his respects. There is hardly any
doubt, however, that he told the President
some things about the Kentucky situa-
ton, which is persistently obtruding it,
self on the Presidents vacation.
1t is also pretty certain that what he
said was not a strong plea for the re-
appointment of Col. Charles E. Sapp as
internal revenue collector, for the Louis
vile district. Roberts naturally hangs
toward the Yerkes and Coombs crowd
who are opposing Senator Deboe and
Sapp, the man in whose interest the
Senator was here a week ago.
The other side of the story was present
ed by K. L. Gwathney, who is Sapp S
chief lieutenant as well as first deputy
collector. He hurried back to Louisville
and it is rumored that he may be here
again tomorrow with Colonel Sapp him

SOCIALISTS IN CONVENTION.
The Political Trades Union Question
to He Considered.

INDIANAPOLIS. July 29.-Tbe. leaders
of the Social Democratic party. which
was split into two factions during the last
campaign, are holding a convention here
with view to healing the differences and
adopting declaration OF principles on
which all the elements of the country
may stand in the next campaign.
TIE scheme of union which is advocated
by Eugene V Debs is TO invite members
of the Social Labor party and Populists
to unite with SOcia. Democrats and to in
corporate trades unions by making them
political organizations whose battles with
capital the new party will shoulder.
The Social Labor party is opposed to
trades unions, which are pure and sim
pie unions, and not connected with the
party. Leading delegates do not believe
that the proposed unionism is feasible
and expect the Social Labor party to re-
main out of the organization.
The convention organized by. electing
George D. Heron chairman On taking
the chair he said he found nowhere nobler
and less selfish men than in the Socialis
tic movement. He said the delegates had
come to nationalize the Socialist move
ment. So far as he was concerned, he de-
clared that no matter what his person
al views tiS ~ VI Sdt4llSalllplA VI
We're, the decision of the convention was
final to him, and he proposed to give all
that he could of his life to it for the
emancipation of the workingman.
The various convention committees were
then appointed, and care was taken to
give each faction equal representation.
The Independents were placed on all the
committees and as they are in sympathy
with the Social Labor party. it is hoped
through them more than through any
others to bring about the proposed union.
