TROUBLE STAR IN FIUNE.

ROME, July 7.-(Py-The first serious trouble has now occurred in the city of Plume and 1t will tend to make more difficult satisfactory set clement of that important question. Today several clashes occurred be- tween the Italian and French there, in which six persons were killed and twenty were severely wounded
 Several shots were exchanged be- tween the forces and for a short time it looked as if general battle was started. While by no means settled, the situation is reported tonight as being temporarily under control but it is not known when another flare up may be expected
 Dispatches from the city do not sate whether the Italians or French first started the trouble and it is practically impossible to get anything but the most meagre details tonight.
 This city has caused more or less trouble between the Italian peace delegates and the supreme council as the Italians contend 1t should be governed by this country which is contrary to the plans of the council.

 He states he is very sorry this de lay in the construction plans of the railroad has occurred and will give his earnest support to any measure which will provide additional funds for the project.
 He is not in accord with the re pubicans who would economize at the expense of the railroad and says that he worked earnestly to obtain the ten million dollars eliminated from the sundry civil bill. Senator Jones says he believes legislation will be introduced in the near future calling for sufficient funds to finish the road in every detail.

 It is estimated the total expenses of promoting the battle will not run over S275 ,000. Of this amount $10O,- 900 goes to Willard and $27,000 to Dempsey. The large arena alone cost at least $75,OOO
 It was enormously reported yest2r- day that Willard had died from a bursred blood vessel Investigation soon proved this rumor to have no foundation The ex-champion will re- main here until his wounds heal. after which he plans to motor home in com pany with his wife There is now ru- nor current that Willard has gone in sane. but it is not generally believed.
