Changed Conditions in Italy.

For conditions in Italy have altered
since 1870. A new generation has grown
up since then under the rule and aus
pices of the Italian government. There
are few, if any, Italians under the age
of fifty who have not undergone train
Ing in the Italian army, and become
there imbued with sentiments of patrf-
otism-patriotism on behalf of United
Italy, with Rome as its capital. Patri-
otism has played a great role in Italy.
The history of no other country shows
so long list of martyrs to its cause.
1t predominates every other feeling in
the Italian breast, and citizens who
have served as soldiers, and as such
have sworn allegiance to the monarch
and to the flag of United Italy, find II
more and more difficult to understand
why they should not be able to reconcile
obedience to the behests of the church
with the fulfillment of their civic duties
to their country.
In the German reichstag, the dominant
faction which virtually holds the bal
mace of power, and which is in a posi-
ton to treat as de puissance a puts
sance" with the Kaiser and the govern
ment. is the Center, or Catholic, party.
When Plus X repeats the me eletti ne
elettori' degree of his namesake, Plus
TX. a similar condition of affairs will
prevail IN the Italian parliament, where
the Radicals and Socialists merely hold
sway because of the abstention of the
large majority of conservative electors
from the nollS

Gain for the Carlist Cause.

Among them was Cardinal Sarto, and
while 1t would be idle to expect Plus
X to declare himself in the near future
publicly IN favor OF the aspirations OF
the Duke OF Madrid. ii is probable that
his personal relations with the latter
will affect the policy of the HOlY Seat
in Spain, TO the extent Of the withdrawal
of the ban placed by the late Pontiff
upon the cause of the pretender. Indeed,
the very fact that Plus y is known 10
be an old friend Of Don Carlos cannot
fail to encourage the clergy and relig-
ious orders In Spain to abandon the at
titude which they have been compelled
until now to adopt toward the legiti-
mist movement. and 10 support the lat
ter against a government that stands
committed TO measures destined to cur
tail their powers and fiscal immuni-
ties.
In short. while the death of Leo KIN
entafled the loss of one of the chief
bulwarks-perhaps the principal one OF
all-of the throne of King Alfonso XIII
the accession of Plus X 10 the chair of
ST. Peter means a distinct gain 10 the
cause of Carlism, the prospects of
which. just at present, appear more
promising than at any time during the
last eighteen years

Leo Opposed by Sacred College.

Leo XIII during the early years OF his
ponttfcete WAS credited with a desire 10
abrogate these commands of his prede-
cessor, realizing the danger OF deliver
ing over the government of the country
10 the radical and avowedIy anti-clerical
party by forcing the Catholic element,
representing some co per cent Of the
electorate, to hold aloof from the ballot
box. But at the time the Sacred Col
lege, which is the senate of the church.
was almost entirely composed of cardi-
nails who. created by Plus TX, were so
pronounced in their intransigence toward
the government that they refused TO
sanction anything that savored of a
modification of his policy toward the
Quirinal declaring that the withdrawal
OF the me reletti ne elettori" decree
would commit the church not only to
the principles of the revolution, but also
TO all the irreligious legislation of the
Italian government, and Leo was forced
10 abandon the project. And during the
latter portion of his reign Leo XIII is
understood 10 have refrained from tax
ing any action in the matter in defer
ence TO the recommendations OF Cardi-
nal Rampolli. Of Father Martin, the
general or the Society Of Jesus, and
OF other influential advisers. who urged
that the power Of sending the Catholic
vote or Italy 10 the parliamentary polls
in favor Of the government, or against
IL, was a trump card in the hands Of
the Vatican, only 10 be used in return
for some important concession and sur

to the present. but likewise to the past.
which in the case Of the papacy ex-
tends back near 1000 years. Leo XIII,
like Plus Y, entertained pleasant rela-
lions with the Italian authorities, while
Archbishop of Perugia. and afterward
at Rome, until he became Pope, and was
accounted friendly toward the House of
Savoy. But he found obstacles in every
direction TO the fulfillment of the pro-
jects which he had formed before his
elevation to the chair of st. Peter.
While, owing to the altered conditions
which prevail today both within and
without the Vatican, the path of Plus
X will be easier, yet he, too. will be
confronted by difficulties, which will
force him to move more slowly and with
elaboration. and anything in the shape
of an understanding between church
and state will emanate not directly from
the chair of st. Peter or from the
throne of Italy. but as I have pointed
out above, will result from the presence
of a powerful and predominant Catholic
party in the parliament at Rome.

Now and then a specimen of the beau

there. The butterfly fish are purely
West Indian. and can reach here only
after thousands of miles of wandering

Among the strangers from the tropics
that visit Gravesend Bay with fair reg
ularity are the file fish, with their fun

look like boxes set with tiny fms, and
the ludicrous buffers and spiny boxfish.
Even flying fish have been found there.

franchising the entire conservative and
Christian vote of the kingdom. The OBJ
ject which Plus TX had in view when
he determined upon this policy in 1870
was TO render more effectuaI his pro-
test against the seizure of the papaI
states by the Italian government, and
TO avoid everything that could be re-
garoed in the slightest degree as direct
or indirect recognition of what he was
won't to denounce as an act of "sacri-
legious spoliation."

SOME STRANGE FISHES

Capt. William Denyse, whose family
has fished in Gravesend Bay for more
than a century, and who supplies the
New York Aquarium with its local salt
water fish, has caught some of the most
curious specimens on exhibition there in
the waters inside Of Norton's Point,
COney Island
Many tropical fishes are taken by him
every year. and, strange to say, he
often secures fish that are scarce even
in Southern waters.
A rare fish. a species OF sardine with
scales, was one of the queer catches of
1895. This specimen is the only one
ever taken in New York waters.
Even the salmon is taken occasionally
in a Gravesend Bay net, although in
recent years the fish has become more
and more scarce.
In the winter smelt appear regularly
IN the bay and remain throughout the
cold weather.
The needle fishes are among the
strange visitors. The most common
representative is the billhsh or silver
gar. known 10 the fishermen of the last
generation as sea pike, sea snipe, and
long jawed pike.
This fish often reaches a large size,
and is found IN Gravesend Bay from
June 10 November,
The pretty and belligerent stickle-
backs are plentiful there. The sour-
spined variety is the most common,
but the two-spined and ten-spined fish
occur there also.
Pipe fish. more usually called billed
eels by the fishermen, are 10 be found
every season in the eel grass around the
mouth of Coney Island Greek. along the
inner shore of COney Island. Seahorses
also are occasionally extremely abund-
ant there.
Mullets. too, are found there, al
though they are hardly ever seen by
the hook and line fisherman.
Even that distinctly tropical fish, the
barracuda, is taken every year, al
though II has not been plentiful in the
last seven years.
In September. 1896. three specimens
OF the strange and rare threadfins were
taken. The threadhn has wonderful
fms, tapering off 70 immensely long and
dainty flaments that stream out be-
hind IL for many feet II is so rare a
fish that is not caught in big numbers
even on the Southern Atlantic shores,
and the ichthyologists who want to
study it have TO go to Texas, where II
is a little more common than anywhere
else.

Leo's Love for Alfonso.

Plus Y. while archbishop of Venice,
formed not merely an acquaintance but
likewise a warm friendship with Don
Carlos and his wife, who make their
home IN the City of the Lagoons, oc-
cupying the beautiful Loredan Palace,
on the Grand Canal. where the patriarch
was often an honored and welcomed
guest. II was personal affection for his
godson, young King Alfonso, that led
Leo XIII to champion his cause to the
extent OF refusing TO receive or counte-
nance in any way Don Carlos, and to
issue the most peremptory commands
prohibiting the episcopacy and clergy in
Spain from any manifestation of their
notorious sympathy for the cause of
the pretender, a course which, while ap-
proved by Cardinal Rampolla. who spent
many years at Madrid as nuncio. was
viewed with dissatisfaction by most of
the members of the Sacred College as
contrary to the interests of the church
and religious orders
