A WAY OUT OF THE TANGLE.
plans to Have the Austrian Emperor
Visit ItnIy's King

LONDON, J4ly 6.-Quite unexpectedly
and almost ineXpjcabIy the Austrian Court
has become disgruntled at the arrange
ments by which the King and Queen Of
Italy ignore its existence in connection
with their European tour.
Il is necessary to remember that owing
to objections made by the Vatican. En-
peror Francis Joseph has never returned
the last visit Of the late King Humbert.
and suggestion that ne should make
amends by going TO Rome this year was
politely ignored owing to the same in
huences. Now a proposal spontaneously
enanates from Vienna that during the
italian royal couples tour the Emperor
should visit them, say at Florence or
Venice, and that this visit should be ac-
cepted as equivalent TO a return visit to
King Humbcrt and that the King and
Queen should visit Vienna next spring.
The suggestion IS now being discussed
by diplomats and the general impression
in Vienna is that something practical will
be the outcome.

a BOSTON PAPER SUPPRESSED.
Labels on the American Flag in "a
Cartoon Objected To.

BOSTON. July 6.-The issue of the
Irish World of this week has been sup
pressed and the sale prohibited in Massa-
chusetts. The police of the various cities
have acted on the initiative of August
Bedford, who says ne Is secretary of the
American Flag Protectors, an organiza-
ton which, he says, pays particular atten-
ton to saving the flag from being defaced
or used for advertising purposes. The
reason assigned for the order prohibiting
the sale Of the paper is that on its first
page this week it contains a reproduction
of picture of the flag printed by the
Detroit News" The inscription on the
flag reads:
This Flag stands for Liberty, Equality,
Independence. justice, and Fraternity, if
Congress or the President so will"
The words If Congress or the President
so will' are Inscribed on the white ground
which is represented as patched on the
end OF the dag. the if being of large
size.
In front of Uncle Sam are representa-
tions of three children wearing broad
brirnmed straw hats, labeled Porto
Rico" Cuba" and Philippines" Be
meath is the inscription Flag Day in the
Dependencies ana then the quotation:
O say. does that star srsngled Banner yet wave
O'er tLy land oi the iree and the home OF the
brave!
The picture Of the first page surmounts
a fac-simile of two articles, one bearing
the heading Mckinley forced war upon
Spain-The President withheld from Con-
gress the Queen Regent S exalted message
of peace, guided by low political cx-
pediency-A Presidential message which
cid not convey the Queens full concss-
sions and deceived Congress"
Mr.. Bedford notified the police through
out the State last night. and the sales of
the paper were prohibited. When the an
nouncement was made that the sale was
prohibited. the paper was in great de-
mand. and was selling at a premium Mr.
Bedford says that he is an Orangeman,
but that he would have done as he did If
an organ of that society acted in a like
manner.

LONDON. July 6-That the foundation

railway near TIE cathedral has aroused
the dormant anxiety which is stfmu-

A PLEA FOR THE NEGRO.
statistics to He Presented to the vir-
ginfa Convention

RICHMOND, Va, July 6.-Glles b. Jack
soma weli-known colored lawyer of this
city, is hard at work on a long speech
which ne is to make before the Constitu-
tional Convention next week. He has
gotten much data from various parts Of
the State to show that the Virginia negro
Is an unobstreperous. Iaw-abiding and
peaceful citizen. jackson says that there
is not better poor man on earth than
the Virginia negro. lie cites the fact that
the negro has caused Sew &c any great
disturbances in the State during the last
decade, and adds that the average man Of
his race in the Old Dominion will not in
terfere with the affairs Of a white man.
Why, said he, when have you ever
heard of a Virginia negro killing white
man or having a serious difficulty with
him?"
Jackson says that the Virginia negro
pays~four times as much money in taxes
as he is given the credit Of paying. and
that the books of Auditor Marye show
that only something like sl25. 600 is paid
the State by his race. This. Jackson
claims, is Il mistake and injustice to those
of his race who want to pay their taxes
and abide by the law. Jackson says that
more than 81 100000 is paid to the State
has found that as much as Sl5000 has
been paid by the negro for license taxes.
He has written to every commissioner of
revenue in the State in order to get the
exact figures and present them to the
Constitutional Convention.
He finds that a great many of his race
who pay taxes do not get the credit for
it. He claims that the books DO not show
whether the taxpayer is white or colored
and only the collectors. commissioners of
revenue. and such other individuals as
collect taxes are able TO tell anything
about the negro as taxpayer. He argues
that when a negro buys a piece of prop
erty there are three deeds to the sale
which means that the State gets 50. Every
sale of piece of property to a negro he
said, is made with a deed of trust at
tached
jackson viii also show what the negro
has done in q business way in the State
he claims that the race in Virginia is
better of than anywhere else. He will
also attempt to show the trouble which
VIII follow if ths> coiored school fund is
reduced. He asserts that two-thirds more
money is spent in the public schools for
white children tl1an is spent for those
Of his race.

AN ENVOY FROM MUOSOLINO
The Italian Bandit Willing 10
Spend His Life in Prison.
First, However, He Must BE Acquit-
ted of n False Charge of Murder
Not Concerned by the True Ones
Against Him - 4 Remarkable Man.

| LONDON, July 6.-The thrilling case of
| Mussolino, the notorious Italian brisa5d,
| who Tor months has defed Italy's mill
| tary and police power, has now entered
/ the negotiation stage Signor Mariglia.
| Mayor of Afrco III Calebra. is now in
Rome as an envoy extraordinary, with
| full powers to negotiate for the ruffian's
capitulaSion on honorable terms.
MussoiiHos great and abiding grievance
! is that he was unjuStly condemned for
numbering the first man for whose death
he was responsible 1t was not case
Of murder. he contends but of lawful
self-defence. If the Government will
grant him a fresh trial he will sur
render.
He is not in any degree worried about
the score of murders he has since COM
mitted, because the victims of his knife
or gun were base wretches who perjured
themselves in order to secure the convic-
tion of an innocent man, or were persons
engaged in the hunt for him and there
fore fair game. There is no capital pun
ishmeut In Italy, and all that can be done
tC Mussolino for his manifold sins is to
send him to prison for life. This he viii
not mind at all, provided he is enabled
first to vindicate his aspersed character
in connection with his original indiscre-
ton.
Signor Marigiia takes himself and his
mission and his client very seriously.
Mussolino, he says. can never be cap
tured either By guile or force Count
ing the losses sustained by the peasants
through their fear of the brigand pre-
venting them from working on their lands.
the two years campa sn against Musso-
limo has cost, according to the mayor
estimate, 5o0J.o0g lire.
A correspondent asked Signor Mariglia
is the resultant word portrait:
.'Mussoiino is not an ordinary man. by
any means. lie has Intelligence and is
absolutely superior. If he had had the
advantage of a proper education h would
have developed into a genius and man OF
action who would have astonished Italy.
one has only to talk with him to realize
his great qualities and personal magnet
ism. He is quite alive to the disadvan-
tases of a lack of education and intends
to overcome them As soon as he is
sent 70 prison he intends to obtain permis-
sion to pursue a course of study which
he has mapped for himself. He has re-
solved also to be of exemplary behavior
so that he may obtain. If possible, some
communication of his sentence.
Physically MussOlino is q handsome !
young fellow. He is rather more than
six feet tall, of dark complexion. and has
black eyes. He wears a small mustache.

undergone great change since they last
occupied it, All traces Of the two Presi-
Dental campaigns have been removed.
The old steps from which SO many
speeches hare been made still stand, but
balustrades to either side Of them make
an enclosed porch. An octagOn extension
on the north end connects with a new
porch at the north side Of the house.
