ROME, Dec. 22.-Troops and police
here and in other Italian cities sub
dued riotuous patriots who tried to
turn the anniversary of the death Of
the Irradentist leader, Oberdank, into
a violent demonstration against Aus
tria.
In contrast, King Victor Emmanuel
received with high honors, Prince
Won Buelowi formerly German chan
cellor, the new German ambassador
here, whose mission, it Is supposed
is to induce Italy to join her former
allies, Germany and Austria, in the
war or, at least, to keep out of the
tremendous struggle.
Oberdank was executed for his plot
to assassfnate Emperor Franz Josef,
OF Austria, in Trieste, in 1882.
"a voice is still ringing from
Caprera Gland, where my father Is
buried. 1t asks for facts, not words,
about the purpose Of tho present en-
1istment OF Italian volunteers"
So cried Rtccioti Garibaldt, leaning
on his crutcles at a meeting here.
At the words of the Italian liberia
tors son. the asr9mblage broke into
~vociferous shouts.
"Long live Italy! Long live Trieste
Long live Trieste! Let Austria restore
tc us the Adriatic ports she stole from
us!" mI
The Republican Deputy, Cola Avent,
recfted the fate of Oberlank. Martyr
CT Trieste" Then the audience stream
ed from the hall and tried to make
their way to the Austrian Embassy.
Police and troops headed them or
after a struggle in which many per-
sons were injured and arrested. The
same demonstration was made in An
coma, Genoa and q other places
where, as here, mourning placards
were posted and leaflets distributed:
"Remember Oberdank."
Prince Won Buelow presented his
credentials and remained for an hour
with the King. The Prince said he
was greatly satisfied with his audi
ence.
The King sent the court gala car
riages to the new Ambassadors resi-
dence to bring him to the Qnirinal.
At the entrance to the palace the bug
lers played a German air.
The Prince, who married an Italian
lady of high rank, is very popular in
Roman society.

All trains were late today. The
cause assigned was that there is an
unusual heavy Christmas traffic. Many

places where they will spend the holt
days and this makes passenger traffic

plenty to do in handling the packages
that are coming in and those that arc

Serious as was the catastrophe which
befell section of Sicily near Mt. .Ftns
on last Friday evening when an earth,
quake wiped out several small villages
with considerable loss of life and much

not beyond the capacities of the italian

dead, to find medical attention for the
injured and to assist those who were
rendered homeless and without means oil

There seems to be lack of consonance
in the plans for the burial of the YER
mont boy, Rufus 4. Percy, who was one
of the first of the United States marines
to lose his life in the occupation of the
city of Vera Cruz a few weeks ago. An
nouneement was made from st. Adams
recently that plans were being made for
distinctly military funeral in the ma
tive town of the young man, Highgate,
while on yesterday Boston newspaper
gave what purported to be statement
that the Salvation Army would take
charge of the burial of the man in Con-
cord, N. Fl. While the relatives of the
slain marine undoubtedly appreciate the
kindly interest taken by the Salvation
Army, it is probable that they will yield
to the desires of the people in Franklin
county and permit the arrangements for
a military funeral to be carried out in
view of the widespread interest in the
case. Indeed, it is possible that the
statement regarding the proposed burial
under Salvation Army arrangements
was not authorized and that the rela-
tives of the young marine have already
given their approval to the plans ma
tured in Franklin county.

P. w. Clements Reported Ambitions.

was the Hon. Percival w. Clement OF
Rutland. He acted the name of percy
with extreme grace and his affability
was never exceeded by the most astute
politician. percy" was around with the
glad hand and it went out with a
warmth that would have melted icicles.
His usual aristocratic air was quite no
ticeably lacking and his face beamed in
smiles of the vote getting kind There's
something in it all. 1t is not Mr.. Glenn
ent's way, unless he wants something
and is willing to sink his pompous in
dividuality in order to get it. Some say
that he wants to be governor and 9TH
ers have in mind that he wants to sue
coed Senator Page in the Senate. He
is now linking with the standpat Re-
publicans, but he should not be quite so
broad with his affability--it is too no
ticeable to have any appreciate effect

THE GORDON MEETING TUESDAY
EVENING.

So rarely does Barre have candidate
for representative or senator in Con.
gress-once in a century or so-that
Barre feels particular interest in the
candidacy of John w. Gordon for the
seat in the larger branch of Congress
now held by Frank Plumley. Mr.. Cor
don's candidacy was formally started
through his own announcement some
weeks ago, followed by meeting of
citizens for devising ways and means to
supplement Mr.. Gordon's own efforts
This latter gathering decided to call q
general meeting with a view to express
ing to Mr.. Gordon the solidity of Barres
support in his campaign. Therefore,
such a general meeting has been ar
ranged for tomorrow tTuesday) even
ing and will be held at the Rowland hall,
at which time an opportunity will be
given to Mr.. Gordon to outline in brief
some of his views, and few other per-
sons will also be called upon to respond
with few words. Townspeople in gem
eral, both men and women. are included
in the invitation, and there ought to be
a large turnout to show Mr.. Gordon that
Barre is with him in his candidacy.

The late Charles w. Posts wealth is
an indication of the value of advertising.
as he started out only on small scale
as manufacturer of so-eaIled health
food but by liberal buying of advertising
space in the newspapers, magazines, bill
boards, street car placards and, in fact,
by about every conceivable means OF
publicity, brought his product so widely
before the public that he died mil
lionaire and many times over. During
the comparatively brief time in which
he was engaged in the manufacture of
his health food he spent millions of dol.

millions. Without the benefits of ad-

The Bunting Issue.

Secretary Daniels has broken prece.
dent by inviting bids from English man
ufacturers for the material for the col
ors of our shipsof-war, and it is UNI
derstood that he has found that he can
save $4,000 out of every $4,000 il he
gives the contract to Englishmen instead
of to the famous bunting mills of Low
; ell
| There is no complaint of the Amer
lean fabric. Indeed, it is insisted that
greater improvement has been shown
| in the New England mills than in those
on the other side of the Atlantic, and
that the American colors are brighter
and more durable. Nor is there any
difference in the cost of the woods of
which the bunting is composed, for these
woods come as duty-free into the United
States as into the United Kingdom.
But there is a difference in the weekly
wages of the operatives by whom the
bunting is made, so great indeed that
one wonders that only 10 per cent
difference in the cost of the finished
product energies from the transaction.
The girls employed as weavers and spin
ners here get more than twice the wages
of similar operatives abroad, There may
be other and minor factors, but with
the machinery running at about the
same speed in New England and in Old
England, the real reason the navy de-
partment can save $4,000 on $4,000
bunting order if it takes the English
goods comes in labor cost.
The administration has been lacking in
tact in raising this issue because flag
material so readily lends itself to the
purpose of the stump. speaker. He would
not complain because the navy buys tea
abroad, even though it might be pro-
duced here at a higher cost. But with
flag bought abroad he would make the
welkin ring.-Boston Herald.
