William May Smooth Matters for
Austria and Italy.

Austria and Italy.
Rome, Jan. 1.-THE visit of Emperor
William to the Italian court next April
may be the means of smoothing over
the difficulty between Austria and
Italy, which has been of long stand
ing, owing to the failure of Emperor
Francis Joseph to return the visit of
the late King Humbert to Vienna in
1882, because of the Pope's threat to
excommunicate any Catholic sovar-
eign who became a guest of the OUR
inal before going to the Vatican.
1t is proposed that the Austrian En-
peror come to Rome simultaneously
with the Emperor of Germany. AS
there would then be no accommoda-
lions at the Quirinal for both royal
visitors, Emperor Francis Joseph
could stop at the residence of the Aus
trian ambassador to the Holy See, visit
the Pope, go to Naples and on his re-
turn to Rome become the guest of
King Victor Emmanuel
