Italy's Attitude Explained.

Regarding the attitude Of the Italian
government in the negotiations with this
nation concerning the disposition OF
Charlton. the decision says:
1.-THE course followed by Italy in the
present case indicates. as. indeed, is set
forth In the diplomatic correspondence,
that the Italian government regards the
United States and Italian extradition
treaty as being of this class, that is, non
reciprocal as to citizens or subjects OF
the respective countries, and that while
Italy cannot surrender to the United
States for trial and punishment her SUBJ
jects fugitive from the justice Of the
United States, still the United States Is.
pursuant to its own Interpretation, under
obligation to surrender to Italy for trial
and punishment citizens of the United
States fugitive from the justice of Italy.
THE meaning of this treaty with refer
snce to the obligation resting upon the
government of Italy to return to. the
Omitted States Italian subjects fugitive
from the justice of this country has been
under discussion for a great many years,
the italian government at all times dur
ing such discussion insisting that since
under Italian law it could punish Italians
committing crimes in foreign countries
and was by that law prohibited from sur
rendering Italians to such foreign eoun-
tries for trial and punishment, it rested
Under no obligation under the treaty to
surrender Italian subjects to the United
States. and the United States contending
that the surrender of citizens was i'm
posed upon both countries by the treaty
After discussing the matter for a num-
her Of years the United States has so
far acquiesccd in the Italian construction
40 generally to cease to make requiSition
upon the Italian government for the re-
turn of Italian citizens to this country
for trial and punishment, though never
formally announcing its acquiescence in
the Italian construction. and on the con-
trary always insisting, when the question
has been raised, upon the soundness and
accuracy of its own construction"

The Sharpless. with twenty men and
one woman aboard and bound from Og-

bushels of corn, was overtaken Thursday
by binding snowstorm on her last trip
this season. The gale drove the big grain
carrier upon the rocky shores OF the

release the vessel were futile and the
crew suffered intensely from privation
and cold.

The islands are thirty miles due north
of this city. The vessel when abandoned
was pounding hard upon the rocks and
unless the storm abates it is feared will
become total loss.
When the vessel struck giant waves

Mrs. Russell, was taken ashore. AS the

Those on the Sharpless were rescued by

The second objection was based on

the. month in which the ardent

an elaborate dinner was served
to the relatives; the table was
beautiful with cut flowers bank

here the numerous presents were
laid out for inspection.
The bride wore a beautiful chif-

long bridal veil, clasped in front
with an ornament, which made
her very popular in appearance,
and carried a shower bOquet Of
