AMBASSADOR MEYER TALKS.
Says King of Italy Shows Knowledge e of Our Affairs.

London, July 13.--George V. l.. Mey- CT. United States Ambassador to Italy, is staying here few days en route to Boston. To a representative of the Associated Press. Mr. Meyer said:
 Before leaving Rome had an hours audience with the King. Not only did he express the mest cordial friendship toward the United States. but he surprised me by his intimate knowledge of our institutions. The conversation happened to turn to comparison of the United States Con stitution with those of other countries, and I soon found that the King knew almost as much about ours as l do myself. He Is wonderfully intelli- gent sovereign.
 Naturally I cannot say much about the potentiality or the likelihood of the continuation of the triple alliance. I believe the treaty expires in l9Oa and then 1t will be time enough to talk.
 "Signor Zanardelli, the Premier. has certainly surprised everyone by his outspoken utterances. He appears to have met the political crisis with re- markable ability. The relations be- tween the Vatican and Quirinal con tinues as they have done for thirty
 
 he looked well.
 The question of the Philippines ex- citss keen interest in Rome. Arch bishop Chappelle. who, I believe, is stiEa there, has given the Vatican the benefit of his extended experience In those islands and doubtless has done much to explain the religious questions which puzzle the Catholic authorities. Archbishop Chappelle will return to New Orleans in about month"
 Reverting to American business pros- poets, Mr. Meyer said:
 The home coal interests are mak- ing strenuous efforts to get their pro- duction into Italian ports with appar- ently fair chances of success, which are not a. little hampered by Great Britain's imposition of coal tax. al- though American coal is still greatly handicapped by a lack of merchant marine"
