Home Life in Italy

In all Europe the most maligned
country and nationality is Italy and
the Italians, with regard to the upper
middle and middle class men, says the
London Telegraph. OF the aristocrat
there is nothing to be said; competent
authorities have declared him to be
neither better nor worse than his com.
peers in other countries. Aristocratic
society Is cosmopolitan. The middle.
class husband in Italy is the most
iohs-suHerlng and hard.worked. one
may venture to say, in all Europe. and
while his aggravations are many his
retaliations are few. To those who
look on from the heights of foreign
superiority 1t is continual wonder
that he does not break out oftener
than he does. Conditions, OF course,
nave much changed in the last fifteen
years; there Is more money and con-
sequently more comfort. but also
greater necessities and demands. The
more modest type of the middle-class
very limited, Wifi 'Halah gre, ,,gs, a rule
farther. He will have, perhaps, from
az to G3 week, and with this will
support wife and from three to six
children In such way as to show no
signs OF real poverty. His house will
nave few comforts, his food will be
OF the simplest, while his widest d.
version will be an occasional visit to
cafe and his habitual one walk along
the Corso or stroll on the Pincio to
hear the band play.

Submarine Fulton Tried.

Newport trial board of the
y. S. navy, Capt. c. ]. Train presiding,
assembled here recently for the first
trial of submarine boats, for which
tests congress at its last Session ap-
propriated $S50,000.
The Holland boat, Fulton, was the
craft tried, and Capt. Train said that
the maneuvers were entirely satisfac-
the submarines busy from 10 o'clock
In the morning until 3 o'clock in the
afternoon. The weather conditions
were unsatisfactory, choppy sea and
heavy rain continuing throughout the
trial.
Capt. Train distributed his men at
points of vantage on shore and on the
Hist and Powhattan. Naval Construct.
or Woodward and Commander Reeves
were aboard the submarine.
The Fulton went over the Narragan-
sett bay course twice at cruising speed
and three times at full speed, the boat
being on the surface during tlsese tri-
ais. While submerged she was sent
over the course three times and Gov.
cred the same distance awash and
ready to dive. She was also tested
on quick turns and made 10 dives. An
observer stated that one Of these dives
carried the boat to a depth of 20 feet
in 12 seconds. Both the gasoline ard
electric engines were used.

Wounded at Mukden.

Mukden.-A hospital train has ar
rived with wounded from Vafangow,
bringing three officers and 23 men. Gen.
Kuropatkin visited them, complimented
their bravery and awarded eight
crosses of St. George. Four of these
wounded at Vafangow were left at
Liaoyang in too serious a condition to
move. Some of these have from four
to six bullet wCuuds. One of the
wounded said:
"These Japanese fight very we'll.
Shooting is their strong point, but the

Sold Cannon for Gin

1t was in the days Of the kingdom.
Some one of the court of the dusky
islanders conceived the idea that Ha-
waii should be graced by a navy. This
was particularly desired because King
kalahaua had a row on hand with his
brother monarch at Samoa. So a
navy was acquired.
The navy consisted Of converted
teakwood trading schooner fitted with
third mast and full rigged. The Ha.
waiian admiralty provided the navy
with lot Of old brass cannons, en-
listed crew of natives and forthwith
sent them out to battle with the OBJ
streperous Samoans.
Away sailed the navy to the south
ward, bent on an errand that shonld
sustain the honor of the Hawaiian
flag and the prowess of the Hawaiian
bluejacket--if he wore jacket.
A month passed and the month
wore into two months, with not a
word from the seat of war. An anx-

No Mediation for japan.

1ondon.-Rumors of mediation in
the Russo-Japanese war have found
no confirmation In diplomatic quarters.
The foreign Office characterizes the
report that mediation is pending in the
immediate future as rubbish" Baron
Hayashi, who as Japan's senior minis
ter and far most powerful representa-
tive abroad, would be the first to hear
of any such move, says:
mot whisper Of mediation has
reached me. For us to stay our hands
at this moment would be senseless fol-
ly. Russia appears to be in a serious
dilemma. She has not enough men in
the field to cope with our various
points of attack. If she brings the re-
Inducements that Gen. Kurcpatkin so
much needs she cara OF feed them.
Il do not credit the rumor in Rome
Of Gen. Kuropatkin's defeat, although
during the next few days news of
battle may come at any moment. 1t

London.-No confirmation has been
received of the reported heavy fighting
near Port Arthur or with Kuropatkin's
army, although the latter is not regard
ed as improbable.
RumOrs persist that court influence
at st. Petersburg is being actively ex-
ercised to induce Gen. Kuropatkin to
assume the offensive in an endeavor by
victory to retrieve the Russian mil
itary reputation.
The Daily reiegrapn's st. peters,
burg correspondent says:
"A recent council of war decided that
Kuropatkin should risk an engagement.
The smporer ratified this judgment,
even going so far as to authorize the
dispatch of troops from the German
frontier to the far east en- the ground
that as Germany was benevolent she
might be trusted safely.
"All hopes are centered now in Kuro-
patkin, who will make desperate ef-
forts to save Port Arthur"
Against these statements must be
placed the official contradiction COM
municated to the Associated Press and
already cabled that Gen. Kuropatkin
would move sCuthward.

To Screen Real Purpose.

st. Petersburg. war Office has
received reports showing the Japanese
are falling back frcm Siuyan, south
west of Fengwangcheng, and in the
meanwhile advancing on 'Saimatsza, al
most due north Of Fengwangcheng.
Both movements are taken to indicate
the continued desire of the Japanese to
screen the operations before Port Ar
thur.
There is not the slightest founda-
tion for the report that the Russians
will abandon their positions east of
Haicheng. Gen. Samsonoff, who is
operating south Of Kaichen, Is under
stood to have strong force Of troops.
AS regards the operations north of
Fengwangcheng, the Cossacks have
retired from Saimatsza with the addi-
tional loss Of two officers and seven
men wounded. Saimatsza is now held
by strong Japanese garrison.

st. Petersburg war Office does
not believe the report from Toxic that
Japanese division mas embarked for
northern Korea to check an alleged
advance of Lieut.. Gen. Linevitch's
army. A high military authority
points out that Linevitch would have
had to march 300 miles over difficult
roads, and to assure supplies for that
distance before he could get within
striking reach Of the japanese army.
The japanese are believed to be more
likely to reinforce their armies in
Southern Manchuria or on the Lao
tung peninsula where 1t is believed
they are concentrating every avail
able man.

Presidents New Threat.

Washington.-At the presidents sug
gestion the administration has empha
sized its threat that If Ion Perdicaris
the American held for ransom by Mo-
roccan bandits, is killed, the United
States, regardless of any other pow
err Will demand, and, If necessary
accomplish by its own action, that
Raisuli and his brigands be captured
and put to death.
! This threat was first sent Raisuli on
Monday through Consul Gummere at
Tangier, who was instructed to COM
municate 1t also to the Sultan of Mo-
rocco.
The French foreign ministry, too,
was informed Of this action, and it
| was that more than the unofficial in
timation that It's good offices" would
be appreciated which caused France to
take a hand in the affair.
similar communication has been
sent to Sultan Abdul Aziz and Raisuli
through Ambassador Choate, who pre-
sented 1t to the British foreign Office
for transmission to the British minis
ter to Morocco.
This was done for the double pur-
pose OF making it certain that the mes
sage reaches the sultan and Raisuli

the meantime, England Is working
through diplomacy, and it has devel-
oped that this plan was favored by Mr..
Hay. The order to send an American
feet to Tangier came direct from the
president and was issued against Mr.
Hays advice. Mr.. Hay believed it
would be time to send warships when
diplomacy had been exhausted
The president decided that the i'm
mediate sending of warships would
produce a better effect, and be likely
to force France to promptly take in
terest in the case. France now is NOV.
ing rapidly.
1t is admitted that $65,OO0 in gold
Is the amount of the ransom demand
ed. 1t is thought that this includes
the release of Varley.
France is willing to guarantee pay
ment of the ransom, even to advance
the money If necessary and collect it
later from the sultan. She will also
guarantee that Raisuli shall not be
molested for certain period, but not
perpetually.
Mr.. Hay is greatly encouraged over
the progress made, and believes France
will soon secure the prisoners re-
lease. The president went over the
situation with Secretary Hay and Sec
retary Moody, and it was decided to
hold seven warships at Tangier for the
present.
