without results. Furthermore It is
held by Italy that there IS really no
sufficient reason for a continuance of
the blockade. which is working great
harm to trade, as it already has had
its full moral influence upon Castro
and longer punishment would serve
no useful purpose, in the italian view.
The Italian government, it is stated,
remains thoroughly loyal to the alli-
ance into which it has entered with
Germany and Great Britain. but that

RUSH OF HoMEsEEkERs.

Thousands Headed for the Pacific
Coast and intermediate Points.
st. Paul, March 10. The annual
spring rush of homeseekers to the
Pacific coast and intermediate points
on the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific started yesterday. It was the
first day of selling the low rate tickets,
although the 500 line has had several
excursions this spring and about 1000
people took advantage of the rates.
Both the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific coast trains last evening went
out in two sections and the morning
trains were crowded, it being neces.
sary to add an extra coach to the lat
ter companys morning train. The
business, in the minds of the passen'
ger officials of these roads, justifies
the reconsideration of the question OF
homeseekers' rates.
