FEAR OF AMERICA.
Growing Alarm in Europe Over In
creased Power of United States.

Rome, April 3-The international
historical congress, attended by dele
gates from all nations interested III
modern civilization, was opened mere
yesterday in the presence of King VIC
tor Emmanuel and Queen Helena.
The feature of the address of the
president, Prof. Villari, was his pre-
dlction that the overwhelming prepon-
derance of the United States and Rus
STA would compel the nations of Europe
to combine for self-protection. He
declared the twentieth century would
witness great change in the map OF
Europe.
Prof. Villari said Europe was shut in
between two great powerful countries,
Russia on the east and the United
States on the west. The latter from
a population of 3O,00O00O had risen to
so, 100000, and no one knew what num-
Der it's population eventually would
reach. The United States also had Ia
ken the lead in all the works of pro-
gress and CIVILIZATION.
These two forces acting on Europe.
were likely to render necessary a union
of the different European countries,
which would completely change the
geographical situation, TO the universal
advantage of Europe. The senator ad-
ded that he foresaw and predicted the
twentieth century will perhaps see the
solution of many problems.
"The mixing of the white and black
races" he continued, brought about
the war OF secession in the United
States and the liberation of the negroes

monized or amaigamated the two races,
which hate each other now, perhaps
more than ever before.
The United States probably will be
the first to give us an indication how
to deal with such grave and important
questions which Europe must meet
throughout the two immense conti-
nents of Africa and Asia"
Prof. William Rosco Taylor OF Har-
ward university was the only American
delegate present, but others are ex-
pected to arrive. Andrew d. White,
one of the delegates. is i'll at San Reno.
The South American delegates COM
plain that their continent is not repre-
sented as fully as it should be. The
president of the congress, Prof. Villari,
is an Italian. and all the vice presidents
are Europeans. The new world was
ignored in the matter Of offices, altho
1t sent many delegates.
Prince Colenna. the mayor Of Rome,
has been officially informed by the
Italian government that King Edward
will visit Rome at the end of this
month. Monsignor Stoner. canon of
St. John Lateran, the highest English
prelate here, has been entrusted with
the negotiations to arrange a visit of
King Edward to the pope. 1t is pro-
posed that the king either go to the
English ecclesiastical college here or
TO the residence of Prince Massino
while here. From either of these places
he would start for the vatican. not in
a carriage OF the king of Italy, but in
private vehicle.
