POSITION OF PEARSON.

 Conduct Was Insulting.


 Conduct Was Insulting.
 Rome, Oct. 26.-From the official inquiry it appears that Richmond Pearson, for merly United States consul at Genoa and now minister to Persia. who. as am nounced Saturday. was fined in default $60 and $15 costs for assaulting an Italian railroad official on Dec 2. 1902. was com pletely within his right in complaining of the behavior of the railroad official referred to, but it is alleged that MT. Pearson was himself in the wrong in in- sulting the officer. MT. Pearson claims the immunity enjoyed by the diplomatic body. while it seems that when the incident occurred he had not yet been appointed minister to Persia. It Is also asserted that his letter to the United States em- bassy here asking to have the sentence annulled is in such form that 1t cannot be shown to the Italian minister for for eign affairs.
