From the Boston Transcript.
 About a dinner table in New York the other night gathered a number of very interesting men-one who had been for eign attache, another a South African fighter another a European resident Tor a long time, and others were cosmopoll- tans of various sorts-and at this table thev got to discussing the Italian war, with the result that out of this conVer- sation this explanation of it was formu- lated; it might be called verdict or the court, for it nearly amounted to that;
 All thoughtful observers must realize that behind the trouble in Tripoli there must exist some other cause, a cause or a serious nature.

Italy is filled with republicans. The cities swarm with so- cialists, and there are probably more actual political anarchists in that country than in any country in Europe, not ex- cepting Russia. The influences making for the embarrassment of the throne and the government are by no means uniform, but these various influences are all agreed that Italy must undergo a radical change in it's form of government in the near fl- ture.
