ITALIAN COLONIES IN TEXAS.
Syndicate with 100000 Capital
for Two Settlements.

Syndicate with 100000 Capital
ArranEes for Two Settlements.
Two localities in Texas are to be
the scenes Of a new plan in colonial
ton, according to a report from Rome,
says the New York Herald. An Ital-
ian syndicate will establish in the
middle part of the State two agrlcul'
tural colonies, each composed Of 100
families, or about 1000 persons in all,
brought directly from the agricultural
districts Of northern Italy.
The entire scheme calls for the ex-
penditure OF about 100000. One
third of the amount has been subscrib-
ed by Texas capitalists headed by
Capt. Nicolin!, Italian consular agent
at Galveston. The rest has been fur
nished by a syndicate organized last
winter in Milan, and presided over by
Luigi Luzzatti, former minister Of
finance in the Italian. cabinet.
The scheme calls also for the estab-
ship companies Of a direct line be-
tween the Mediterranean ports and
Galveston.
The idea of colonizing the Italian
immigrants in the agricultural dis
tricts of the south dates back to the
time the Italian ambassador, Sig. Des
Planches, made a tour of Louisiana
and Texas, and vas favorably i'm
pressed by the prosperity of the sew
eral Italian agricultural settlements
already existing in those two States.
The splendid possibilities Of the
Southern States for those taking up
land soon attracted the attention ct
northern Italian capitalists, who in
terested Senator De MARITIME, president
Of the colonial institute of Rome. He
said he was willing to lend his sup
port to the enterprise provided the
syndicate would accept a certain con-
troll on the part of the colonial insti-
tute.
The result was that a commission OF
here to inspect the land. The com
mission arrived in New York in Jan
uary, and after a brief stop in Wash
ington went directly to Texas, where
it remained for a month making a
thorough survey of the land from the
point OF view Of practical farming.
Before leaving Texas the commission
confirmed an option on $4,000 acres of
land, $4,000 Of which is near Keechie
and the other $4,000 on the Trinity
river, near Palestine.
The price stipulated for the land va
ries from s11 to $3.50 IN acre.
According to the expert Of the COM
mission the syndicate Is to furnish
each c~olonist with a house of three
rooms. a cow and a mule. They will
also receive free transportation for
themselves and families, and all they
will need for the first year. The land
and the house will be sold to the colo
mist at cost price, with interest at s
per cent, and If all payments are
made during the first ten years the
colonist will then be entirely inde-
pendent. While the report speaks Of
importing the first 200 families it does
not make a secret of the fact that the
main object is to relieve the conges-
ton Of the Italian districts in the big
cities like New York, Pittsburg, Chi.
cago and Boston.
