League of Nations circles are re- ported to have been keenly inter ested in the conference at Leg horn. Italy. yesterday between Sir Austen Chamberlain and Premier Mussolini, believing that the two discussed certain questions apper- talning to Abyssinia, member of the League which appealed to that body recently to prevent Britain and Italy from making use of its territory in a manner contrary to the wishes Of that sovereign state.
 Since Abyssinia made its appeal 10 the League, Great Britain and Italy have attempted to discourage continuance of such efforts, and some sort of settlement or conces sions were supposed to have been agreed upon outside of the aegis of | the League. The details, however, have not been disclosed, and it Is unlikely that they are of sort to meet with the approval of the League.
 The situation as regards Abys- sinia is that Italy desires the right | to build a railroad across the | country in order to bind together | her colonies, Somaliland and Eritrea. England, on the other | hand, wishes concession to ob- tain waters from Lake Tsana, in Abyssinia, which is the source Of the Blue Nile This latter Is in the interest of irrigation in Egypt, which is needed in order to greatly extend the production of raw cot ton.
 A tripartite Anglo o-Franco-Italian agreement regarding Abyssinia was signed in 1906. which was sup posed to safeguard British and Egyptian interests In the Nile basin and the regulation of the Nile and its tributaries. Provisions were also made for the construc- tion Of railway lines by both Brit ain and Italy.
 Last December, however, another agreement was signed, this time between England and Italy only, by the terms of which these two countries promised 10 aid each other to obtain their respective de- sires in connection with the Lake Tsana waters and the construction of the Somaliland and Eritrea rail road. Trance was left out of this agreer at which needless 10 say, leaves Paris critical of the entire scheme.
 The conference Of Sir Austen Chamberlain and Premier Musso- lini no doubt went into the details Of executing the agreement of last December. The London Economist says the new agreement comedies to Italy exclusive economic influ- ence in Western Abysslnia, except for the regulation of Nile water; and in return for this concession Britain expects to secure Italian support in subsequent negotiations with the Abyssinian government over the Lake Tsana question.
 The Abyssinian government alone can authorize the construction ot . barrage, or dam, at Lake Tsana
