~, Celebrate Independence Day.

Although today is the thirty-sixth ami
versary of Italy's independence, the crew
of the Italian cruiser Fieramosca, now lying
off the arsenal grounds. did not observe the
day except that there was additional shore
leave given the men. The cruiser is taking
coal today and therefore the ship, instead
of its usual spick-and-span appearance, is
sooty and dusty. The officers state, how
ever, that after a good cleaning next Sat-
urday the cruiser will be In excellent con-
dition for the reception Of visitors Sunday
afternoon from 2 o'clock until 8.
The admiral and his staff, accompanied
by Lieut.. Phster, naval attache of the
Italian embassy. visited the gun factory at
the navy yard this morning, and were well
pleased with what they saw. Official visits
by the stan Of the cruiser concluded yester-
day with the call at the Navy Department.
From Sunday next until the ship leaves for
New York there will be nothing done of con-
sequence.
II is understood that the Italians Of Wash
ington will go to Luna Park this afternoon
to attend the celebration of italian Day."
During the day visit to the park by
Capt Mazzinghi of the italian cruiser

Il is expected that Admiral Cali and men,
hers of his stan will be In attendance

oughf to produce practical results, and I
feel confident that when the merchants Of
the numerous towns of Virginia and the
Carolinas which are nearer and more ac-
cessible to Washington than to any other
large city, ascertain how advantageously
they can buy their goods in Washington
they will undoubtedly do SO. A personal
acquaintance with them through the me-
dunn of this trip will give them a great
deal of information about the opportunity
of a successful trade here. / have always
believed that Washington would expand
along business lines. AS people we have
very naturally come to depend upon the
United States government, and our mer-
chants here have been entirely too limited
in their operations by contenting them
selves with municipal trade. Of course.
