GENOA, April 3. 1910
James Smithson,1 who founded the
Smithsonian Institution at Washington,
lived for many years and died in Genoa,
and was buried In the Protestant cemetery
on the crest of a; blum overlooking the
harbor. He was the natural son Of the
Duke of Northumberland, a bachelor,
and the reason he left his money as he
did was that the scientific circles Of
Great Britain declined to recognize him
socially or otherwise. Hence he exiled
the greater part of his fortune to the dif-
FUSION OF knowledge among the people of
the United States.
The material for building the break
waters of the harbor, which described
the other day. was taken out Of the
bluff under the cemetery in which Smith
son was buried, and a few years ago.
when there was danger that it might cave
in, the municipal officials arranged for
an exchange with the Church OF Eng
land, to which the property belonged, for
tract of land adjoining the famous
Campo Santa, on the other side of the
Church and the British and American
consuls, representing their respective gov
ernments, entered into an agreement un-
der which they accepted the exchange
and the owners Of the quarry paid all the
expenses Of removing the remains The
body Of James Smithson was removed to
Washington and is buried there.
Smithson's tomb was one of the most
conspicuous in the little churchyard and
was protected by an iron fence to which
was attached marble tablet bearing the
following inscription:

Away back in 1880 the ducal authority
was overthrow and three consuls were
appointed to rule the city. This system
of government lasted until 1870. when
two distinguished citizens, Spinola and
Doria, usurped authority and governed
under the title of s'captains OF liberty"
They were assisted. by council OF twelve
and afterward OF twenty-four members,
consisting Of an equal number OF mobiles
and plebeians. This continued until 1889,
when the people, weary Of dissensions
and graft, elected q doge for life and
passed q law making mobiles ineligible
for that Office. This arrangement con-
tinued for two centuries until the King OF
France invaded Genoa and took posses
sion. At length Andrea DORA delivered
his countrymen from the French and es-
tablished republic. with doges elected
for two years and a legislative council.
This continued until Napoleon came. all

It's Shares at Premium.

The commercial Importance Of the Bank
OF st. George may be recognized by the
fact that in the year LAT its shares were
selling at 500 per cent premium and it
was the only bank of issue in the repub-
lie of Genoa. At one time 1t was the
only bank Of issue on the Mediterranean.
It handled the money of the government
and was its fiscal agent for more than
liuuidated at the time of the French rev.
olution.
There used to be many monuments in
Genoa and statues OF distinguished people,
but most of them were destroyed on the
18th of June, 1897, when, in sympathy
with the French revolution, the radical
politicians and the republican fanatics Of
the city burned the Golden Book Of the
Nobility in the Piazza AcQuayerde and
ordered the suppression of all coats Of
arms, iveries and other evidences Of class
distinction and all historical records and
tablets and the destruction Of all statues
and monuments.
The statues of Andrea Doria and the
Genoese heroes Of the middle ages were
destroyed. the paintings upon the walls of
torical scenes and events that brought
Genoa her greatest glory were white
washed over; inscriptions were chiseled
out OF the tablets, the banners and tro-
plies which hung In the cathedral were
taken down and reduced to ashes and the
council Of Gen0ese declared that all men
were free and equal and adopted the
equalite and fraternite fiction Of the
French reyolutionists.

Forty Years in Exile.
Giuseppe Mazzini. the great Italian
statesman and patriot, was born In Genoa
In 1906 and died in Pisa in 1872, after
having been exiled for forty years. which
were spent mostly in England, where he
supported himself by teaching italian and
writing for the newspapers. Maxzini's
house is now used as library, rich In
political and historical works. and a slab
attached to the wall gives a brief story
OF his life. A statue In one of the pub
lie parks represents him as q tall. gaunt
man, with his hair brushed back from
his forehead and an intense expression
upon his face. At his feet reclines the
figure Of a woman symbolical Of Italy,
with broken manacles upon her wrists
and on the other side the figure of q
workman who looks Nike Vulcan.
Garfbaldi was the son OF Genoese,
although he was born In Nice, and he
spent a good part of his early life in this
city. The house in which he lived Is
marked by a tablet and there y fine

Minor Differences of Opinion.

Many other minor differences Of opinion
as to the effect of stated provisions have
arisen during the tendency of the bill.
and In some half dozen instances the adj
vocates Of more stringent regulation have
succeeded in forcing the supporters Of
the original bill to accept amendments.
The whole struggle is over the practical
effect OF technical and involved legal Ian
guage in provisions Of the bill. the So
called administration senators holding
for the bill as reported nd the alleged
insurgents contending that the original
language is not broad enough or plain
enough and does not effect the reforms

Long and Short Haul.


The next great struggle will be over
what Is known as the '1ong and short
haul clause" The old interstate COM
merce law contained q supposed prohibit
ton against charging as much or more
for a short haul than for a long haul,
but it was rendered practically ineffective
by the insertion of what is called the
''joker," being in these words: under
substantially similar circumstances and
conditions" This clause it is sought to
strike out.
The pending effort OF the republicans
dissatisfied with the railroad bill Is to
reframe the law SO that it will give the
interstate commerce commission constitu-
tional authority to regulate rates SO that
the rate from New York to San Francisco
will not be less than the rate from New
York to Salt Lake City.
The contention of the trainers of the
bill is that the mere striking out of the
= Joker" clause Will not suffice, and there
Is much difference of opinion as to what
will constitute adequate and constitu-
tional regulation of the long and short
haul.

Of Competitors Opposed.
FIGHT OF THE INSURGENTS
Claim That the Administrators
Measure Does Not Garry Out the
Roosevelt Policy, as Intended.

From the moment OF its introduction in
the Senate the administrations railroad
rate bill has encountered the opposition
Of faction of the republicans Of that
body and Of all the democrats. The OPP
publicans. has grown until it was shared
by sufficient number, added to the
democratic vote. to cause the material
amendment of the measure from the form
of Its original presentation. s.
The bill. as is we'll known, was drawn
by the Attorney General after consulta-
ton with the interstate commerce COM
mission, with the great lawyers of. the
Presidents cabinet and others interested
In railroad rate legislation. 49,
1t was designed to complete the policy
Of regulation Of railroads undertaken in
the Roosevelt administration. supplying
the omissions Of the Hepburn rate law.
The charge made against the bill by the
dissenting republicans and the democrats
is that in fact it does not carry out the
Roosevelt policy.
Senators not versed in law and the in
tricacies Of Interstate commerce regula-
ton were willing to take President Taft's
say-sO that the bill was a good one and
carried the needed reforms Some other
senator's, learned in the law and deeply
interested in the problems of interstate
commerce. ddssented from the President s
Endorsement.
The question, therefore, whether the op-
position to the bill is mere Righteousness
ground for 1t, is largely one of individual
opinion, based on analysis of the effect of
the bill if enacted into law. The wise
men of the Senate disagree.

Railway Merger.

Section II authorized the acquisition
by one road of competing line if it
already owned so per cent Of the stock
of the other road This was put in by
the trainers to allow what they claimed
would be harmless railroad consolidation.
Those who took the opposite view held
that this section would validate a num-
Der Of mergers, already made. which as
they stand are in violation Of the Sher-
man law. A sufficient number of senators
of this opinion were found to force elimi-
nation OF the section.
Sections 13, IA and 15 are In dispute
They relate to the capitalization of rail-
roads, their bond and stock issues. They
were put In by the administration to give
what the President thought was adequate
government control over capitalization.
The opposition disagreed with the re-
puted effect Of these provisions. and Sem
atOr DOlliver drew up amendments which
would give the interstate commerce COM
mission what he believes would be ade-
quate control over capitalization.
The promoters Of the original bill would
rather see the sections dropped than to
have them amended in the form suggested
by Senator DOlliver, thinking the restric-
tons too severe.

Traffic Agreements.

The sections over which differences Of
opinion have arisen. regarded as most
important, are. numbers z and IL. The
dissenters are in the majority, and this
week made such a plain showing Of their
superior strength that the managers of
the bill agreed to eliminate these two
sections.
Section Z provided for traffic agree
menrs between railroads which in effect
amounted to pooling. 1t was put in the
bill because the republican national plat
form recommended such provision.
The opponents claimed that the effect
of this section would be practically to
repeal the operation of the Sherman
antitrust law so far as it affects rail-
road combinations in restraint Of trade.
There has been endless argument in the
Senate for and against this contention,
withf the result that sufficient number
Of senator's indicated their disposition to
hold that 1t does operate to repeal to
cause the dropping of this section.
