Rome, Dec. 1S.-In a brilliant speech
which was frequently interrupted by
outbursts of applause, Marquis hi San
Guiliano, the foreign minister, to-
day, replied in the Chambers of Dep
uties to those who criticized the re-
newal of the Triple Alliance.
The minister eulogized the Triple
Alliance, which, he said, had been for
years the strongest guarantee of the
peace of Europe. 1t had permitted
italy to achieve wonderful progress
despite innumerable difficulties, both
internal and external, and it was one
of the principal factors in the great
economic advancement, and more
closely welding the interests of the
civilized world and making them more
interdependent and more powerful for
peace.
He maintained the experience of 30
years and the eXigencies of the pres
ent situation justified the renewal of
the Triple Alliance.
Turning to it's bearing on the AL
bantam question, the foreign minister
said that Italy and Austria, whose
mutual interests are, today, most in
innate and cordial and who are the
two powers most interested in pre-
serving the situation a footing of
equality and liberty in the Adriatic
have been able to agree on the fun
damental outlines of the solution of
the Albanian problem in conformity
with the principle of nationality and

corning the discussions, but one of the
delegates observed that the secrecy
only apparent was on the most import
ant questions the ambassadors would
be compelled to consult with the peace
delegates, in order to ascertain their
intentions and the feelings of their
countries.
Besides. the same delegate added, it
would be useless to maintain secrecy
on secondary matters, when what is
really of capital importance is openly
and solemnly proclaimed to the world
He instapced the speech of NJ Ko-
kov3off, the Russian premier, who,
today, spoke before the Duma, but, the
delegate pointed out, in reality ad-
dressed his statement to the whole OF
Europe in the name of THE great
Slayonic and Orthodox power"
p NJ. Kokovsoff's speech, notwith-
standing the usual declaration of the
wish, above all, to preserve peace, en-
phasized the Importance of the una
nimity of the Balkan peoples, and, rep
resenting the Emperor, who is the su-
preme political patron and venerated
spiritual head of the Orthodox world,
praised the civic and military virtues
OF the allies, promising them support
from the mother Russia, who so far
is glad she has not changed the calm
attitude adopted at the outset.
This in plain language means that
the calm attitude might have been
changed in the past, and may change
IN the future, If the rights of the Bal
kan peoples do not receive due recog-
nifi6n.
However, it is asserted that the Aus
trian and German ambassadors at the

the Dardanelles was raised, il is re.

$1,000 a month was taken illegally
from the funds of the Iron Workers
Union so that Mcnamara might carry
ON the dynamitings, and another $1,000
was sent by Mcnamara to Tveitmoe.
The laws of the Union show that these
officials had no authority to use the
money as they did
In fact, it has been shown that
some of the 10000 members of the
Union were opposed to the policies
of their officials and that local unions
in Milwaukee, Chicago, Cincinnati,
Philadelphia, Kansas City and other
cities wanted to withdraw, but the
international officials would not allow
it.

Europe, it is out of the question to have
the Turks retain any political administra-

according to the views expressed here,
but it is much feared that even an auton-
omous and neutralized Albania, owing to
racial religious, economic and financial
reasons would be unable TO stand with
out even more direct assistance from the
Powers than in the case of Crete, which
experiment for the Powers was quite
enough, and they are not DESTROYS of re-
