THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MAY 12, 1895. 5 DEFEAT OF THE BILL. Anti-Revolution Is Not Appreciated in Germany. TALK IN THE REICHSTAG The Unpopular Measure Is Finally Killed Section by Section. SOCIALISTS ON THEIR METTLE: They Declare That the Army Is At- tempting to Galn a Pretext for Slaughter. BERLIN, Germaxy, May 11.—In view of the rejection by the Reichstag of para- graph 111 of the anti-revolution bill, which practically settled the fate of that measure, nobody was surprised when the Reichstag to-day, after rejecting paragraph 112 re- fused to further discus the bill, and all its amendments were withdrawn. Then the entire bill, f rejected without debate and the Reichstag adjourned. Though the rejection of the anti-revo- tution bill did not surprise anybody who has followed the popular agitation against it, and although the rejection yesterday of paragraph 111 hopelessly emasculated the bill, the discussion of the other sections was to drag along for a time, as the Government did not intend to withdraw the measure, although continuance of the debate only promised further humiliation for the Government, therefore the coup de grace administered to the unpopular bill was a relief to all concerned. The most interesting speech during the on was that of Herr Groeber,which showed that the Center party was irritated against the Government on account of its management of the bill. He saia that Herr von Koeller, the Prussian Minister of the Interior, apparently regarded the Reichs as an automatic machine, into which bills were put in order to be pulled out as laws on the other side. The utterances of Herr von Koeller in support of the bill, he asserted, only put weapons in the bands of the Socialists. Herr Groeber then proceeded to protest | against the dictatorial attitude assumed by Dr. Schoenstadt, the Prussian Minister of Justice, toward the Center party, and de- clared that the party woula decline all responsibility for the measure. Dr. Schoenstadt replied in a speech which only served to further embitter matters and leave the Government at log- gerheads with the Center party. The proceedings were somewhat enliv- ened by the remarks of Dr. Sigl, editor of the Bavarian Katerland, and whose anti- Prussian utterances have earned for him the nickname of the “Prussian Kater.” Dr. Sigl humorously criticized the bill and the Ministers’ speeches. He declared that Herr von Koeller's speech was an in- sult to the Reichstag, but he was inter- rupted by the President, Herr von Eulen- burg, who remarked that- it was the President’s business to rebuke insults to the House. Herr von Koeller, amid gen- eral laughter, ostentatiously applauded Dr. Sigl as the latter returned to his seat. Upon resuming business to-day the Reichstag proceeded to discuss paragraph 112 of the anti-revolution bill. The Min- ister of War, General Bronzart von Schel- lendorf, declared that he could well un- derstand the socialist antagonism to the army, which, ne declared, was a solid wall against which it was useless for the socialists to run their heads. Neverthe- less he believed socialism was picking at the foundation of this wall, and it was to prevent these attempts that the paragraph was intended. Herr Bebel, socialist, replied that the ruling circles evidently wished to provoke the social democracy to acts of violence in order to crush it by military force, but, he added, the socialists did not intend to be entangled intoa snare. The Minister of War warmly repudiated Herr Bebel's allegations, and quoted an article from the Vorwaerts, the Socialist organ, suggesting that he, the Minister of War, ought to be snot like a mad dog. Herr Osann, National Liberal, Count von Kardoff, Free Conservative, and Herr von Levetzow then announced on behalf of their respective parties that they woula follow General Bronzart von Schellendorf in supporting the Government on para- graph 112 against the committee amend- ments. Decision was called for and para- graph 112 was rejected. The Conservative Tmperialists and National Liberals voted in the minority. The same paragraph which was amended in committee was then put to a vote and was also rejected, the Centerists alone sup- porting it. Her Von Richter, the leader of the Peo- ple’s party, then remarked: “Let us now make short work of the bill; let us aban- don further debate, so that by a suc- cession of divisions we may quickly rid the world of the whole thing.” The words of Herr Richter were greeted with much laughter and his advice was forthwith acted upon. Amid much ex- citement the various amendments were formally withdrawn and a curious scene ensued. The majority, in the gayest spirits, rejected each paragraph as it was put from the chair. When the last paragraph was disposed of, the anti-Semites and the members of the Left cheered boisterously and the sit- ting was adjournea amid intense excite- ment until Monday, when the discussion upon the customs convention with Austra- lia and tobacco tax will be taken up. There is much discussion in political cir- cles to-night at the unexpected denoue- ment and the effect it is likely to have on the Emperor. The general belief ex- pressed is that the Minister of the Interior, Herr von Koeller, must fall with the anti- revolution bill. The changed plans of the Emperor re- specting his summer pleasure excursion (it was originally his intention to take a trip to Norway) have caused a great deal of comment. The truth is, the Emperor is displeased at the turn of political affairs in Norway, and as he is an admirer of King Oscar, consequently feels it would be im- * proper for him to visit the Norwegian coast exclusively as hitherto. He will make a coasting trip along the shores of Sweden and pay a visit to Stock- holm, Malmo, Gothenberg and a number _ of points remarkable for their scenery. His Majesty will be the guest of King Oscar at Stockholm, where various court fetes have been planned in his honor. R The great military memorial fete planned to celebrate the twoaty-figb anniversary agraph by paragraph, was | of the battles fought against the Freneh in August, 1870, is now being organized. Alfred Schoene, a yonng German-Ameri- can of Philadelphia, was recently arrested while visiting his parents at Caub, Prussia, and was pressed into the naval service. Schoene was charged with deserting after six months’ service, three years ago. He was taken to Swinamunde prison. James Gordon Bennett has sent Phillips, the jockey, and three good American trottersto Berlin. The horses are entered in the principal events of the trotting sea- son of the West End, outside of Berlin. Mr. Bennett has planned to attend the ap- proaching fetes at Kiel, in commemora- tion of the opening of the Balticand North Sea canal. He will be on board his steam yacht, ac- companied by a party of friends. Em- peror William is highly gratified at the splendid representation which the United States navy will have at Kiel and he has expressed himself repeatedly to that effect during the past week. The Bundesrath convened promptly at the Reichstag building, Prince Hohenlohe presiding. At 10 o'clock to-night (Saturday) the Bundesrath was in session. The corre- spondent of the Associated Press heard a report emanating from semi-official sources to the effect that despite the rumors current in the lobby it is still probable that a modifi- cation of the anti-revolution bill will be introduced at an early date. In any event it is almost certain that the Reichstag wili not dissolve. Rumor has it that the Gov- ernment is apprehensive that in the present | state of the temper of the people elections would result unfavorably. Herr Richter, the Radical leader, prophe- sies another crushing defeat for the Gov- ernment next week when the tobacco bill is up for action. The entire Socialist party is elated over the defeat of the anti-revolu- tion bill. Mass-meetings are being held in many places to-night and many are the jubilant speeches that are being made. | Emperor William received bulletins hourly to-day of the proceedings in the Reichstag. He has made a statement to the effect that, acting upon the advice of Prince Hohenlohe, he will not interfere personally to bring about any results more in keeping with the wishes of the Gov- ernment leaders. The fact that Prince Hohenlohe did not make a speech after the defeat of the anti- revolution bill in the Reichstag to-day has created some surprise. However, thisatti- tude only confirms with his recent position on thi easure. Copyright. NDED BY COSTA A, A Secret Alliance Formed With the Insurgents of Colombia. Clalms on Disputed Territory to Be Allowed If the Rebels Are Successful. PANAMA, Coromera, May 11.—Semi- official advices received here are to the effect that Costa Rica has affected a secret alliance with the rebels in Colombia, by which the latter are receiving arms and other substantial support. Costa Rica has long had trouble with the ruling Government in Colombia as toa disputed boundary. In the event of the success of the rebellion Costa Rica will no doubt receive in return for aid to the rebels a recognition of the claims she has made on the territory. The Colombia Government is alive to the danger of this alliance, and has taken steps to offsetit. An agent is now in the United States, and has recently been in ‘Washington and New York arranging for the purchase of large supplies of arms. Frma S i Herr von Koeller Warned. BERLIN, GerMANY, May 11.—It isre- ported that Herr von Koeller, the Prussian Minister of the Interior, received an anony- mous letter yesterday, warning him that he would go the way of the late President Carnot of France, who was assassinated last June. Herr von Koeller is said to have shown the letter to the President of the Reichstag, Herr von Boul-Berenberg. g e R Against England and America. TEGUCIGALPA, Hoxpuras, May 11.— The German and Spanish merchants throughout Central America are forming a league to work against the English and Americans in trade matters. They wish to monopolize the trade of these countries. Careful inquiry shows that only two South American countries are willing to join the boycott against England. THE GOLDBROOK BRIDGE. It Is One That Brides Never Cross for Fear of an Old Superstition. Standing in the center of an open field at Hoxne, near Eye, in Suffolk, is an obelisk, erected to the memory of King Edmund, who met his death there at the hands of the Danes in 870. On the site of the monument stood anoak tree, in the branches of which the King sought refuge from his foes. At nightfall he emerged from his leafy hiding place and secreted himself under a bridge which spanned a | stream called the “Goldbrook.” A wedding party, however, passing over the bridge in the evening, observed the King’s gold spurs glittering in the moon- light, and in this way his retreat became known to his enemies. He was taken back to the tree in which he had previously hidden himself, and shot with arrows, and his body was afterward removed to Bury . Edmunds and interred in the monas- Ty there. On Goldbrook bridge is inscribed a record of the event. Local tradition has it that mfln{ {enrs ago the existing inscription was followed by the words, “Cursed be the wedding purty that passes this bridge.” No part of this anathema is now visible, but the tradition is so well known that a bridal party will take a circuitous route rather than pass over the bridge. .. Bismarck’s Diplomacy. There is no better instance of the trench- ant, if scarcely difllomatic, way Bismarck h_m{ofcuttmg the knot of a difficulty than his conversation with Baron Prokesch, the Austrian plenipotentiary and president of the Diet, in the early days of Frankfort. The Austrians were much in the habit of bullying, and of assuming as a basis of negotigtion things which were not facts. One eVening, when at a large social gather- ing, Bismarck and Prokesch, surrounded by a brilliant group of diplomates, were discussing a protocol based on certain equivocations, Prokescn said, looking straight at Bismarck: ¢If that were not true, then I, in the name of my imperial master, should have been guilty of lying!” Returning his gaze without a symptom of faltering, “Pre- cisely so, your Excellency!” slowly said Bismarck. The group, thunderstruck and embarrassed, scarcely knew which way to turn. Prokesch moved away; but later at the supper-table he came over to Bismarck with a glass of champagne and said “Well, let us make peace!” “Assuredly,” said Bismarck, “but the protocol must altered.” And it was.—Colonel Theodore A.

ONE OF THE SEASON’S EVENTS. It Is the Reception and Presenta- tion In the Queen’s Drawing Room. LONDON :ENa., May 11.—The beautiful, healthy spring weather which Londoners have reveled in for some time pastcon- tinues to the delight of everybody. This huge metropolis, as a result, is crowded, and the gayest. possible season is in full swing. The fashionable tradesmen are in their glory, and smiling faces everywhere bear testimony to the rush of business, the rippling of society and the fluttering of fashion, which are making the average ‘West End shopkeeper breathe sighs of sat- isfaction. Seldom has London been graced by the presence in town of so many members of the royal family. Royal personages, male and female, young and old, are to be seen in carriages and even on foot, at every turn in the fashionable thoroughfares. For instance, London, has not yet done talking of the fact that a few days ago the Prince of Wales and his brother, the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (Duke of Edin- burgh), followed by the Duke of York, the heir presumptive, and his cousin, Prince Alfred of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, who is said to have been selected to marry little Queen Wilhelmina of Holland when the proper time arrives, were seen strolling arm in arm through Pall Mall as contentedly as an every-day subject of her Majesty. Then again, some of the royal family are to be found nightly at the theaters, a fact which tends to increase the power of the attractions presented, for the visits of roy- alty to places of amusement are duly chronicled by the press, and naturally the general public wants to see what roy- alty has enjoyed. Of social engagements there is such a large list that even the society papers only find space for the most prominent. Among the latter is the grand dinner given on Thursday last by Mr. and Mrs. Naylor Le- land, in honor of the Prince of Wales. Naylor Leland, who recently resigned his seat in the House of Commons, where he represented Colchester, married Miss Jen- nie Chamberlin, the famous beauty, daugh- ter of H. 8. Chamberlin of Cleveland, Ohio. The partiality of the Prince of Wales for the society of Miss Chamberlin was much commented upon by the society sheets. Among those present at Mr. and Mrs. Nay- lor Leland’s dinner were the Austrian Am- bassador, Count von Destritez, Pfince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, the Marquis and Marchioness of Ormonde, the Earl and Countess of Dudley, the Earl of Resslyn and a number of equally important person- aylor Leland’s sister, Josephine, it will be recalled, was married on April 30 last to J. 8. Carisbrick Esq. of Lancashire. The bride was given away by Naylor Le- land. Of course, the Queen’s drawing-room of Wednesday was the great event of the sea- son. The weather was delightful, a cool breeze blowing, and the result was the most brilliant royal display seen for a long time past. There was a triple file of carriages along the Mall long before the hour fixed for the drawing-room, waiting to take their occupants to Buckingham Palace, and the vicinity of the Queen’s London residence was thronged with peo- ple anxious to get a glimpse of the daz- zling show. It was noticeable that black was the prevailing color, and black now seems to be the fashion everywhere. The gathering of royalty at the drawing- room was such a one as has not often been seen in London for many years past, and included the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of York, the Duke and Duchess of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, thr Duke and Duchess of Connaught, the Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, Princess Christian, Princess Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein, the Duke and Duchess of Fife, the Princess Henry of Battenberg, the Marquis and Marchioness of Lorne, the Duchess of Albany, the Duke of Cam- bridge and the Duke of Saxe-Weimar. Princess Alexandra, third daughter of the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, made her debut in the roval circle. The Queen Regent of Holland and her daughter, Queen Wilhelmina, went to the palace by special invitation of Queen Victoria, who sent one of her carriages to bring them from Brown’s Hotel, in order to enable the young Queen to see her Majesty in her robes of state previous to the opening of the ceremonies. The two Queens of Hol- land dined with Queen Victoria the same night at Buckingham Palace and had lunch with her Majesty on Thursday morning, after. which they started for home. 2 The Americans presented to Queen Vic- toria at the drawing-room were the widow of the late Senator Hearst of California, who was presented in the diplomatic circle, and Misses Grace and Bertha Potter, daughters of Howard Potter, Miss Roby of New York and Mrs. Walter Winans, who were presented in the general circle. Among -those present were the United States Ambassador, the Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, Mrs. Bayard, Miss Bayard and Lieutenant-Commander W. 8. Cowles, the United States naval attache. The Premier, Lord Rosebery, is evi- dently in very poor health. When he was seen bidding farewell to the Queen of Hol- land at the railroad station previous to their departure for home he looked ten years older than he did six months ago. His face was haggard and he leaned upon a stick. His breakdown on Wednesday night, while making & speech at the recep- tion of the National Liberal Club, has re- vived the worst rumors which have been in circulation concerning his health. Lord Rosebery, who looked pale and fatigued, evidently had a sudden lapse of memory which caused him to lose the thread of his argument, and he gazed about in a dazed manner while turning to his friends for relief. Under the prompt- ing of the latter he succeeded in termi- nating his discourse, but it was only by a great effort that he did so, after having been strongly urged to continue. It is true that the Premier had previously done a heavy day’s work. He was at the Foreign Office in the morning end had attended the drawing-rocm in the afternoon. Fi- nally he was present at an official dinner the evening of the same day before going to the reception of the National Liberal Club. But the significant feature of his condition was his utter forgetfulness of what he was saying and intended to say, and this cannot be accounted for by his fatigue alone. . The Queen’s visit to London was brief, as usual, as she returned to Windsor Castle on Thursday, the day following the day of the drawing-room. On Tuesday, May 21, she will remove the court to Balmoral, where she will remain for a month. The Princess of Wales, on behalf of her Majesty, will hold the remaining two drawing-rooms soon. The Princess is greatly changed, and now looks an quite old woman. It is noticed that the Duke of Saxe-Coburg- Gotha is attending very many public func- tions, and that he seems especially anxious to win popular favor. This is in view of the continued growling of the Radicals and others over the pension which he re- ceives from the British taxpayers, in spite of the fact that he is a reigning Prince of Germany. But the efforts of the Duke to win popularity are far from being suc- cessful, and in spite of his presence at public functions he is most unpopular. Under the heading of “Arrogance of Roy- alty,” a person signing “Playgoer” has written to a newspaper, saying that the audience at the Criterion Theater on Wednesday last was kept waiting for an hour because some of the royalties were dining late. The letter continues: *“It turned out to be the petty German Princelet of Coburg, who takes £10,000 an- nually from our taxpayers.’” Mr. and Mrs. George Gould, after arriv- ing at Southamvton from New York by the American line steamship New York on Wednesday last, proceeded to Paris on a fortnight’s visit to Count and Countess Castellane. Copyright. Smuggling in Drugs. MONTREAL, Caxapa, May 11.—The United States customs officials in this city have unearthed a gang of smugglers whose headquarters are in Montreal. They are engaged in smuggling phenacitine and sulfornal across the border. The drugs are placed in hollow walking-sticks and umbrellas, which are carried across by members of the gang, unsuspected by the customs officials. By getting the goods over free of duty a profit of $76 50 was made on each five-pound lot. INDIAKS ~ ARE STARVING, Two-Thirds of a Hudson Bay Tribe Perish in One Winter. Scarcity of Reindeer and Other Game the Cause of All the Destitution. QUEBEC, Caxapa, May 11.—Official re- ports from the vicinity of Fort Chimo, a Hudson Bay trading post, on Ungava Bay, show that two-thirds of the entire tribe of Montagnais Indians trading at the post have perished of starvation in one season— over 160 in number. As usual among the Indians the men die first, so that a number of unfortunate women and orphans are left helpless. The few white people at Chimo and the officers and crew of the Hudson Bay Company’s steamer Erie, wintering there, took up a collection to clothe the survivors, who were as destitute of clothes as they were of food. The Canadian Government has now taken action, which, it is thought, will pre- vent another such catastrophe by placinga sum of money at the disposal of the Hud- son Bay Company for the relief of the In- dians and the Esquimaux in the event of another severe winter. The cause of the destitution this winter was the scarcity of reindeer and other game. ANOIENT TELEGRAPH SYSTEMS. Various Methods for Carrying Messages Long Distances Were Known. The old telegraph stations of France are interesting relics of the past, and, where they have been allowed to remain, form a feature of the landscape. They were of two kinds, the square towers and the round towers. They consisted of two stories, and the index signuls, of wood or light iron, were mounted on the top ‘of a pole on the roof. A ladder ran up this(})o!e, so that the signals might be reached and moved by hand. The telegraphers were provided with telescopes, and there was always somebody on watch on the roof to note signals made at the neighboring stations. TEe progress of a message at night was naturally slower than the day transmission. The words were fewer at night also, be- cause the small lanterns affixed to the in- dices could occupy only a certain number of positions without being extinguished, says Cassell’s Magazine. The first Bonaparte extended the line of these stations to Milan, then to Mayence, in Germany. They went no further.” Soon the French army began to retreat to the land from which they came, and as they retired they fired their telegraph posts to prevent the enemy from using them. One writer has stated that Alexander’s quickest means of sending messages was by fast horses, and that Napoleon, two millenniums later, was no better off. This informant, like millions to-day, was igno- rant of aerial telegraphy’s half century of existence. A As with electrical telegraphy so with aerial telegraphy the early attempts were legion. As far back as the seventeenth century a scientific attempt at long-dis- tance telegraphy was made by the sa- vant, Amontons. The author Fontelle has written of these experiments. He states that the apparatus was a clever contrivance, permitting of the transmis- sion of a message from Paris across the Alps to Rome in the then incredibly brief time of three hours, and this without any- body knowing the nature of the message between the Italian and French capitais. The procedure consisted in Elncing at several consecutive spots men who, having perceived through long-distance te‘escopes certain signals, made at one post, trans- mitted such signals to the next post, and s0 on from post to post, and these different signals were so many letters of an alphabet of secret ciphers. The key to these was known on{ to the &%mcs interested at Paris and at the city 1000 miles away. The maximum range of the telescope consti- tuted the distance between the different posts, the fewer of which the better for rapid transmission. Some experiments were successfully made over a little stretch of country, but the vice-consumed func- tionaries of the time pronounced the Amontons project “impracticable,” and g‘lize discouraged inventor abandoned the ea. : Ceesar, in his “Commentaries,” relates how, during the invasion of Gaul, the in- habitants gave warning of his approach by huxmni fires at night. These signals were called “huchees.” In the daytime the old Gauls resorted to_cries. Thus, a num- ber of men, stationed at certain intervals apart over a long stretch of country, would ut their warnings from one to the other. This species of mouth-to-mouth telegraphy answered so well and the dis- patches traveled so quickly that Ceesar states how, between the rising and the setting of the sun, the natives could send distance of over fiffy a verbal message a leagues. . ' PROTECTION THE CRY. Principles of the New International A. P. A. MORAL ADVANCEMENT.| Development of the Govern- ment Said to Be Obstructed by Organizations. PERFECTION OF ALL LAW. Declarations for Self-Control, Free Speech, Free Press and Free Conscience. MILWAUKEE, ;Wii.,, May 11.—The following is the complete declaration of principles of the new International Amer- ican Protective Association, asadopted by the session of the Supreme Council: Declaration of principles, aims and purposes of the International Protective Association: Recognizing that the political and moral ad- vancement of nations depend as much on the general intelligence and developments of man- kinds and governments universally, as on the moral, political and physical perfection of the units composing nationalities, and also recognizing that human perfection can only be attained through more complete international, social and political intercourse than what at present obtains, and further realizing that the progress and development of constitution- al government are wi-lfully and selfishly ob- structed by certain organizations claiming universal recognition, and which, through the completeness of their systems of organization, exercise amore or less; universal jurisdiction to the detriment and injury, as well as of constitutional sovereigns and governments, as of the subjects and peoples thereof, and believing that the furtherance of human free- dom and progress are most speedily and best accomplished by the maintenance of consti- ted authority against abuses of an infringe ment upon the rights, privileges and liberties_ of individuals by constitutional enactments® and lawful protests. This, the first congress of the International Protective Association, held this 11th day of May, 1895, hereby formulate the following declaration of principles, aims and purposes of incorporation: Declaration of principles: First—The voice of the people intelligently and justly expressed 1s the supreme layw. Second—The perfection of all law is the recognition of the right of local self-govern- ment. Third—The right of freedom of conscience, of intelligence, free speech, free press and the privilege of unrestricted private judgment is beyond all question. Fourth—In defining and enforcing the laws and in the definition of its jurisdiction and powers the state is supreme. Fifth—All institutions of an ecclesiastical charscter claiming temporal dominion or the right to define the extent of their own juris- diction are inimical to a&ll forms of constitu- tional government, and are & menace to the perpetuity thereof. The intellectual and moral advancement of the world is best expedited by the sound and fraternal union between all peoples and races whose civilization is the highest and whose liberty of conscience is the most perfect; and the welfare of mankind is best enhanced and preserved by the continuance of & lasting peace between all races and peoples opposed to the efforts of selfish and soulless ecclesiastical and financidl corporations to distutb the harmony of universal brotherhood by the rude alarms of barbarous, dehumanizing and enslaving wars, Aims and purposes: First—To esteblish throughout the civilized world the principles of the organization by all proper and lawful means. Second—To uphold the right of self govern- ment harmoniously with the best interests of the whole. Third—To secure and maintain the suprmacy of the State as expressed by the voice of the people. Fourth—To assist with our moral support all people in their efforts to secure and perpetuate the enactment of legislation, based upon the broad principles of constitutional liberty. Fifth—To resist by all lawful means all at- tempts made by the enemies of peace and in- ternational harmony of fieedom of speech and conscience to precipitate war or engender hos- tile feelings between all nations, wherein lli:!rgnghcs of the organization may be estab- ed. Foreign Gold In Rome. At the British embassy to the King of Ttaly acalculation was made some time ago of the amount of gold brought by travelers into Italy every year. By far the largest number of these travelers come from England and the United States. The calculations made it evident that no less than £20.000,000, or $100,000,000 are brought into this country and left here by these travelers. In the scantiest years that sum has not been less thang£14,000,000,while on other occasions it has risen to £22,000,000. Mr. Stamer, a writer on Italy, relates that an old woman in Sorrento once told him that the people in England had no sun, because the English had told her, time and again, that it wus not for society they had come to Italy, but to see the sun. Besides, all the English were fair and ruddy. -If they had had a sun, why were they not all sunburnt? If they do get sunshine in Italy, as they do, they pay very sweetly for it.—Baltimore Sun.
