Premier Giolotti, who arose amldst

France had answered as she thought

Italy could not interfere. The Nau-

produced was such that they must
be extremely glad of the existence of
that phrase as ii had offered Premier

statement so fattering to Italian pa

The crowded galleries rose and ap-
plauded for five binutes, crying Viva
