WHAT CUBA IMPORTS
Food Products Which It Ought
to Raise at Home.
MUST HAVE INDUSTRIAL CHANGE
Little Machinery or Other Articles
Indicating' Investment of Capital
Report of British. ConwnL.
"WASHINGTON, Aug. 1?. The com
merce of Cubs. In 1E99 is described by the
British Consul at Havana In a report
which has Jut reached the Treasury Bu
reau of Statistics. It Bpocially calls at
tention to iiic fact that the Imports of
iS1 largely exceed the value of tbo ex
ports, and that more than SO per cent of
these Imports were foo4 products, much
of "which might have been produced In
the island, and produced -svlth a propor
tionately less investment of capital than
that required lor the chief producing in
dustry fcugar. The- following is an ex
tract from the report:
"Judging from the more detailed re
turns which are available as to the nature
of the imports at Havana, which consti
tute 75 per cent of the total merchandise
imported into the whole island, it does
rot appear that any large amount ol
to jls, industrial rnach'n ry, or material
Tor public works were introduced, which
might represent the Investment of foreign
capital to be employed in opening up new
enterprises, the great bulk of the imports
being rather for food, clothing, liquors
and other articles of habitual consump
tion which call for periodical replenish
ing. "The greater part of this excess Im
portation was covered ?hy the amount
realized y the sale last year of certain
railways and cigar factories to foreign
(principally British) companies, but, of
course, the permanent alienation of prop
erties to meet current ncc ssitles cannot
be indefinitely repeated, and unless there
Is a large Increase in the exports in the
current year, a great falling 'off must be
expected in the import trade.
"The following statistics of the trade of
he whole island In 1S91-92 (as compared
With 3889), though not very recent, are
Hot wlthbut value as affording a basis
lor comparing the movement today with
that of two fairly prosperous years under
the Spanish regime:
Value ot Value of
Yeer. Im:orts, Exports.

1S82 . 13,102,UMi 10.0ril),2S8
18B9 13,21,017 U.UlO.S'JJ
Further on, in the same report, the
Consul-General' writes:
"The Island of Cuba presents the anom
aly of a purely agricultural and excep
tionally fert'le country dependent very
largely en foreign countrlts for its food
supply. The limits of this report do not
permit of examining at length the causes
which have led to this state of things; it
is sufficient to point out its existence and
the, important hearing it has on its for
eign commerce.
"The value of the food products (Includ
ing liquors, and two-thirds of the live
stock, which must he reckoned as food)
imported into Havana in 3899 amounts to
over &,COJ,O0Q, or El per cent of the total
Imports Into that port, without taking into
account the undervaluation to which 1
have called attention In the paragraph on
imports and exports. If the same propor
tion be applied to the total Imports Into
the whole Island, we And that 6,740,003
represented Imports of food alone (In oth
er words, absolute necessities) In which it
Is hard to see how any economies could
be effected except perhaps in quality, and
that only to a limited nextent. If we de
duct this amount from the value of the
exports we llnd a surplus of only 2,2i2,
Oto, with which to provide for clothing
and all the other necessities of a country
containing a population of 3,5(V),0M, and
without any manufacturing industries
whatever; a sum which is manifestly in
adequate. "Tha deduction to be drawn is suitl
clently obvious. The island must either
produce more articles for export, or it
must raise more food products at home
and import less from abroad. The most
practical solution is undoubtedly the lat
ter, as far less capital is required for cul
tivating maize, brans, rice and vegetables
than for producing s-ugar, which has hith
erto ben considered as the staple export.
"Whatever solution may be ultimately
found, there can be no doubt that tho
Jbland will, in the immediate future, have
to pass through a period of poverty, dur
ing which the Importations will fall con
biderably below last year's figures, and
will be restricted to absolute necessities
of life, and to tho cheaper grades of oili
er commodities.

The race was In heats. For the final

for the last lap Kramer shot out In front
of the bunch. Kimble hung to his wheel,
with the others struggling to keep within
striking distance. Kimble pulled up on
even terms with the leader, and they rode
as one man for 203 yards. Kimble quit,
and Kramer was alone in front. New
house suddenly left those behind and went
high up on the bank at the last turn.
He came down the Incline like a cannon
ball, and in three seconds had closed the
gap that separated him from Kramer.
The Impetus of the down grade sent him
to the front inch by inch, and he crossed
the line a winner by a narrow margin.
Tom Butler, another old-timer, scored
his first win of the year In the five-mile
professional handicap. .Kramer and Kim
ble were on scratch, but quit after riding
a mile. For nearly five miles Butler

FOR- ITALY'S DEAD KING
IMPRESSIVE MEMORIAL SERVICE

and Members of Diplomatic

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19. Amid scenes
of impressive solemnity and in the pres
ence of the President of the United States,
members of the Cabinet, officers of tho
Army and Navy, the Ambassadors and
Ministers of foreign countries and a groat
concourse ot people from civil life, me
morial services for the late King Humbert
of Italy were held at SL Matthew's Catho
lic Church, at 31 o'clock today. The an
nouncement of the services was made by
the Italian Ambassador, Baron Fava, and

THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.
"HOW LONG CAN
From Harper's "Week
partment, the event was given a distinct
ly official character. The foreign repre
sentatives were in full diplomatic uni
form, and these, with the brilliant uni
forms of the British, German, Austrian
and other military attaches and of the
American Generals and Admirals gave
a touch of brilliant coloring to the solemn
pageantry.
The church had been decorated elabor
ately for the occasion. Around the sanc
tuary and on all sides Tose a mass of
palms and foliage plants, while the beau
tiful white marble altar stood out from
a forest of palms. Immediately in front
of the chancel rail stood the catafalque,
a counterpart of that in which the dead
monarch recently was laid to rest at
Rome. Over it was thrown a heavy black
pall, edged with white, and on top was a
great garland of laurels and gala leaves,
tied with flowing ribbons of red, white and
green, the colors of -Italy. At the head
and foot of the casket tall candlebra
burned, and the morning sun, coming
through the chancel window, fell athwart
this somber memorial. A superb wreath
of purple asters and roses, sent by tho
British Embassy, rested alongside the
casket.
Daron Fava, In the full uniform of his
diplomatic rank and wearing the decora
tion conferred on him by King Humbert,
shortly before his death, stood at the
main entrance of the church and received
the distinguished arrivals. He was assist
ed by Marquis Romano and the Military
Attaches of the Embassy. Among the
first arrivals was the Chinese Minister,
Wu Ting Fang, In brlgnt Oriental silks
and scarlet turban, accompanied by sev
eral of the members of his staff. Tho
Spanish Minister, Duke de Arcos, in full
diplomatic uniform of black and gold,
followed soon after and was given a seat
with the Chinese Representative. Back
of them sat the Japanese Minister, Mr.
Takahlra, his handsome uniform set off
by a vivid green sash across his breast
and a sweeping white plume on his cha
peau. Germany was represented by Baron
Speck von Sternberg, German Charge
d'Affaires, accompanied by tho German
Military and Naval Attaches In uniform;
France by M. Thiebaut, Charge d'Affaires,
and M. Bouefve; Great Britain by Mr.
Lowther and Captain Bradley, of the
British Royal Navy: Russia by M. Routh
bowsky, while the other countries of Eu
rope and South and Central America were
represented by their several Ministers and
Secretaries.
Across the aisle from the Diplomatic
Corps, the pews were reserved for dis
tinguished American officers and civil of
ficials, and among those present were
Admirals Melville, Endlcott and Terry;
Brigadier-Generals John M Wilson, Lud
lngton and Weston; the staff officers of
Lieutenant-General Miles, and scores of
lesser officers. The Italian societies and
citizens were given seats at the side of
the church neir the altar. The rear of the
church was opened to the general public
and was filled to overflowing at an early
hour.
Just at 11 o'clock President McKinley
and the members of his Cabinet arrived
at the church. Baron Fava stepped for
ward and received the President, escort
ing him to a seat immediately in front
of the catafalque, walking down the mid
dle aisle. With the President were Sec
retary Hitchcock, Postmaster-General
Smith, Acting Secretary of State Adeo
and the President's secretary, Mr. Cortel-
you. As the party took their seats strains
of the organ floated through the edifice
and the black and white-robed acolytes
led the procession ot the priests to the
altar. It had been expected that Cardinal
Gibbons would officiate, but he was absent
In the South. The celebrant of the mass
was Rev. Father Bart, assisted by Father
Leo as deacon, and Father Kervlck. as
sub-deacon.
Father Chattel, of Georgetown Univer
sity, was also in the sanctuary. The ser
vice consisted of high mass, the usual
sermon being omitted. At the close of the
mass the priests put aside their white
vestments for those of black and, de
scending from the sanctuary, moved about
the casket, sprinkling It with holy water,
praying for the repose of tho soul of
tho dead King and chanting the "Requles
cat in Pace."
At the close of the service the Presi
dential party withdrew, followed by the
deputies and military officers. Many of
the people remained In the church to view
the catafalque and flowers, and to carry
away a leaf or bud as a memento of the
ceremony.

In accordance with, tho expressed wish ot
Mrs. Ingalls, there was no great throng
at the services. The little church was
filled with friends of the family, and a few
persons were obliged to stand. Tho ex

ROOSEVELT TO PALMER.
Says His Minneapolis Speech Was
Mlnrepresentert in Reports.
NEW YORK, Aug. 19. Governor Roose
velt, at Oyster Bay, L. I., today gavo
out for publication a letter which he had
written on August 9 to General John M.
Palmer, of Springfield, 111., relative to Uio
St. Paul speech made by the Governor In
which he had been quoted as making
derogatory remarks concerning Demo
crats. The letter says In part:
"I notice that in your recent very
manly Interview stating why you could
not support the Popullstlc Democracy and
the Kansas City platform and nominees
you allude to a statement I was supposed
to have made attacking Democrats gen
erally In my St. Paul speech.
"You have evidently seen a report
which was not merely garbled, but falsi
fied. I stand by this speech absolutely,
and have nothing to explain in connec
tion with It, but I do wish to point out
where Its meaning was deliberately in
verted. "In my speech I began by saying: 'We
appeal not only to Republicans, but to
all good citizens whp are Americans In
fact as well as In name to help us In re
electing President McKinley.' I ended by
saying: 'Study the Kansas City plat
form and you cannot help realizing that
their policy (the policy of Its makers and
sponsors) Is a policy of Infamy; that
their triumph would mean misery so
widespread that it Is almost unthinkable
and a disgrace so lasting that more than
a generation would have to pass before
It could be wiped out. They stand for
lawlessness and disorder, for dishonesty
and dishonor, for license and disaster at
home and cowardly shrinking from duty
abroad. We ask support of all Americans
who havo the welfare of the country at
heart, no matter what their political af
filiation may havo been in the past.
''You will see that here I most explicitly
draw the line between the men who sup
port and ask support for the Kansas
City platform and all other citizens,
whether Democrats or Republicans. I
feel that, as a matter of fact, the great
est possible credit Is due to men like you,
my dear sir, and to the other Gold Dem
ocrats who four years ago and now stand
for National honor.
"I hold up the policy advocated In the
Kansas City platform as a base and cow
ardly policy, to emphasize our right to
appeal to tlyj countless thousands of
High-minded Democrats who abhor base
ness and cowardice and are quick to see
and disown them."

NEW TORK REGARDED AS THE
COMING WORLD'S BANKER. ' "
German Iron and Coal Sag: Slightly
Orders for 4S0 Locomotives
Wool From South. Africa,
BERLIN, Aug. 19. The tendency of the.
bourse last week was somewhat stronger.
Government loans advanced slightly, and
most industrials' moderately. Chinese
loans rose under tho Influence of tha
news of the fall of Pekln, and of the
more peaceful attlude of the Chinese au
thorities. Chinese 5s and 4s gained 3
points. American railway securities at-,
traded increased attention, and Cana
dians rose 24s.
Domestic Iron shares are firmer upon
the Increased dividends of several com
panies. Yesterday iron and coal shares
weakened upon the failure at Essen of
Middendor & Co.. bankers, which caused
forced sales. Evidence of a further
weakening In the Iron situation is coming
In. Some of the Slleslan. companies take
a Saturday holiday; and the prices of
girders fell there 5 marks. On the Dus
seldorf Bourse some lines scored a fur
ther fall. Buyers are now able to get
pig-iron at private terms mora favorable
than the listed prices, and a general re
Auction In Iron prices is expected soon.
The coal market is easier, because the
i$on companies ara countermanding- or
ders. Last week's money market was easier
as the result ot the Improved situation In
London. New York's exports of gold at
tract much attention, the press comment
being that New York is fast becoming the
world's banker. Moreover, apprehen
sion Is expressed at the growing indebt
edness of Europe to the United States,
which will be Increased during the re
mainder of the year, In consequence of
the cotton shipments, and it Is feared
that New York will recall gold from
England and Germany before tho year Is
over.
The Prussian Government is Issuing or
ders for 480 locomotives. Conditions In the
textile Industries are deteriorating. A
thousand looms and twice as many oper
atives are idle at Aachen. Germany
has begun the direct Importation of South
African wool, owing to the Boer war.
Five thousand bales are now coming to
Hamburg, which would formerly have ar
rived by way of London. A meeting has
been held to prepare for a cement syndi
cate. Germany produced 1,530,000 tons of raw
sugar during tho 12 months ending July
31, as against 1,520,000 tons for tho pre
vious 12 months.
Germany's exports of war matter to
China last year aggregated 8,150,000 marks,
as against 3,430,000 for 1S9S.
The London Stoclc Exchange.
LONDON, Aug. 19. The stock exchange
had a quiet experience lost week, and
took a holiday yesterday. Little 'busi
ness was done, but the tone of the mar
ket was cheerful, and prices were higher
In most departments. A notable feature
was the recovery of Chinese securities
simultaneously with the success of the
allies. Tho gain almost equals tho re
cent fall.
The decline in money, which has been
the chief influence affeoting the markets,
has been well seconded by tho course of
events in China; and the state of the
markets has been such that it has been
diflUult ti buy at quoted prices. Con
sols, however, closed a half higher, at
93. Americans were tho most actlvo
element of the markot, with prices dis
tinctly better, the riso ranging from 1
to 3 points on the week. Mining shares
were stagnant, especially Kaffirs, but
firm, as .the supply of shares is moderate.
Fluctuations were fractional and irreg

Neutrality Oath.
PRETORIA, Aug. 19. Lord Roberts'
proclamation reciting the fact that many
havo broken the oath to maintain neu
trality, and that the leniency extended

transported, and that buildings on farms
where tho enemy or his scouts are har
bored, will be liable to be razed.
Attempt Against Roberts Admitted.
PRETORIA. Aug. 19. The case for the
defense in the trial of Lieutenant Cordua,
of the Staats Artillery, charged with be
ing concerned in the plot to kidnap Lord
Roborts, was concluded today. Lieu
tenant Cordua's counsel admitted that
the accused was guilty of breaking his
parole, and of attempting to plan a con
spiracy, but he asserted that thenttempt
was a failure. Counsel also maintained
that Gano suggested the entire plot, and
egged on tho prisoner. On these grounds
he asked the court to find that the
charges had not been proved, and begged
its mercy for his client. Gano, who is
said to be of American birth, denied
having suggested the plot. Counsel for
the prosecution will sum up August 20.
Ruse to Gain Information.
CAPE j Sr,N, Aug. 20. General Dewet's
demand for the surrender of the British
force at Commando Nek is considered
as a pretense of gaining Information.
Finding that Commando Nek was strong

northward, shadowed by General Baden
Powell. STATEMENT OF POWERS,
Says His Trial Wa Political and a
Judicial Farce.
GEORGETOWN, Ky., Aug. 19. Caleb
Powers issued a statement to the public
tonight, in which he says:
"That one of the greatest Judicial farces
known to history has been enacted here
In my trial, under the forms of law, no
well-informed man can doubt. Innocence
Is no shield with $100,000 and the methods
of Campbellism against you. The rectitude
of one's past life counts for naught. They
say Taylor is guilty, because he was at
his office, and that I ani guilty because
I was away from mine. This has been
a political trial throughout, for political
purposes, and no greater mistake has
been made by the Democratic party since
they robbed us of the offices to which
we were fairly elected by tho people
From the beginning of the campaign until
now I have stood with what ltttlo of
merit 1", have had for the rights and
liberties of the people. That Is my crime.
That is the only offense I have committed.
That Is the only thing they have proved
against me, I swore to that myself in
testimony. I have never had, and I now
have, no apology to make for being true
to the trust Imposed upon me by a ma
jority of the voters of this state. History
will draw Its dark lines around those
who have outraged me and disgraced the
Judiciary and blackened the history ot
the state."
Youtsey to Be Called Today.
GEORGETOWN, Ky., Aug. 19. The case
of Henry Youtsey will be called tomor
row, but, as the defendant has not fully
recovered. It la not certain whether the
case will go to trial. As much, If not
more difficulty is expected In securing a
Jury than in the Powers case, as nearly
everybody! in the country, became disqual-
Ifled by hearing "evidence. In tha Powers
trials- It is, probable that Judge Cantrlll
will " summon . a venire from adjoining
counties.
CHANCES OF FUSION.
(Continued from Elrst Page.)
and that ho has done. Is doing and will
do everything In hfs power to secure tha
latter's renomlnation 13 equally well
known. There, is a .pretty strong senti
ment among many Democrats In favor of
Charles S. Voorhees, of Spokane, and he.
has been regarded as a most likely dark
house. But Turner's control ot the Spo
kane delegation greatly minimizes Voor
hees chances, If, indeed, It does not make
him an utter impossibility. In. the first
place, Senator Turner Is for Rogers; In
the second place, he does not want a Spo
kane man for Governor, for the obvious
reason that his own chances for re-election
would thus be injured, on geograph
ical grounds. An Indirect reason why
Voorhees may not wish to run Is found In
the fact that he Is. a quasi-relative by
marriage of John L. Wilson, he and Har
ry Wilson having married sisters. It Is
known that Voorhees and Wilson are on
very Intimate personal terms, and Voor
hees, it is believed ljy some, would wish
not to oppose a Republican candidate for
Governor whoso success would tend to
assist In making Jonn L. Wilson again, a
United States Senator.
Tho King County Populist convention
has declared for Fawcett, of Tacoma. It
may bo assumed that there la In King
County no very strons sentiment for a
Pierce County man, but Eugeno Ware,
Bob Bridges, John P. Fay, Ciarko Davis
and other leading Populist luminaries
hate Rogers, and are willing to proceed
to any length short, perhaps, of support
ing a Republican to defeat him. Tho
Democratio convention, here took no ac
tion on the Governorship, but It was. in
the hands of men not friendly to Rogers.
In Pierce County, the Democrats are for
Fawcett, and the Populists will have con
testing delegations at the state cbnven
tlon. Tho dimensions of tho Fawcett
movement are something o a surprise.
He has not been anything other than a
local factor In Tacoma politics, and it
was not suspected that he possessed ele
ments either of personal strength or gen
eral popularity that Justified an ambi
tion to bo Governor. The Fawcett boom
has been largely accelerated by tho anti
Rogers feeling. He has been the most
convenient club west of the mountains to
beat Rogers out of a renomlnation.
There is method, too, in the effort on
the part of the Seattle Democrats and
Populists to place the Gubernatorial nom
ination, in Tacoma, and to secure a Con
gressional nomination for themselves. In
the present situation, It Is sound strategy,
for It is an exact reversal of the Repub
lican policy. J. T. Ronald, of Seattle,
will be nominated for Congress against
Francis W. Cushman, of Tacoma Tho lo
cal fuslonlsts expect that there will be a
slaughter of Cushman by Seattle voters
In favor of the local candidate, and they
hope to check any counter movement on
the part of Tacoma for Cushman by giv
ing, or trying to give, them Fawcett.
They will probably not succeed In the lat
ter, and It is not likely that they expect
to succeed; but the Seattle politicians will
have shown their good intentions, any
way; and that may count for something.
In the-demorallzed state of the Republic
an party in this county, tho fuslonlsts
do not calculate that the Frink nomina
tion will do anything at all to hold the
Seattle Republicans in line for Cushman;
and It is not really vital that Fawcett be
placed on the ticket from Tacoma as an
offset to Frink. Tacoma's vote will be
much smaller than Seattle's. Tacoma has
a United States Senator, as well as a
Congressman. Seattle has neither. So
Tacoma has neither the motive nor the
power to counterbalance any great Seat
tle landslide in favor of Ronald, if it oc
curs. This, it must be remembered, is the
fusion view of It. That It has some au
thority is not to bo doubted; and that
the Republican managers are fearful of
Its effect Is already evident from the ap
peals already being made by them to the
public to subordinate local prejudice and
elect Republicans to Congress on the
broad ground that they are Republicans.
The union convention will number 11C0
delegates. It will take 734 to nominate.
It would seem at this time that It will be
impossible for Rogers or Fawcett to get
them. The solution of the problem will
then be a dark horse, llko Voorhees, or
Jere Neterer, of Whatcom, nr any of the
multitude of other Populist and Demo
cratic statesmen, who are ever ready and
anxious for something to happen to them.
There is Just now a strong subterranean
movement for Neterer, which Is not, t Is
said, at all encouraged by him. Jame3
Hamilton Lewis, too, is always a danger
ous factor. If the convention is unable to
decide on Rogers, or Fawcett, or Voor
hees, or Neterer, what more likely than
a common movement to Lewis? Hismpm
lnatlon would be bad from the standpoint
of those who rely much on the Seattle
Tacoma Congressional fight; but there
are those who will argue that Lewis be
longs not to Seattle, but to the state, and
If the party is to be saved, it must be at
the sacrifice of petty local feelings.
A NEGRO ON RACE RIOT.
He Snsges That Courts Be Appealed
to for Redress.
NEW YORK, Aug. 19. Rev. P. L. Cuy
ler, pastor of Zlon A. M. E. Church, in
hi3 sermon today spoke about last week's
race riots in this city. He said in part:
"The' trouble that our people have Just
gone through presents a disgusting and
brutal spectacle. In the troubles that wo
have in the South even, there is nothing
to equal it. There, at least, the men who
are In authority and whose duty it Is to
protect the citizens of the state do not
participate in the riots, but rather seek
to shield from the fury of the mob tho
innocent victims. Instead of suppressing
the rioting, the guardians of the peace
appear to haVe participated in the cruelty
here. The police clubbed the colored men,
and the greatest damage done upon the
persons of our people was the work of
their clubs.
"Of course, we know that the element
that made so much trouble Is not repre
sentative of New York. The mobs were
composed of hoodlums, rough3 and tougha
of every kind."
Mr. Cuyler closed by saying he did
wish to stir his congregation up over
matter, as there had been trouble eno'

025,000 PACKAGE GONE.
Lost Somewhere Between Chicago
and Burlington.
CHICAGO. Aug. J9. Somewhere be
tween Chicago and Burlington. Ia an
express package supposed to contain 525.
0C0 is alleged to hav gone astray. Tho
Commercial National Bank of this cltr
sent the package to tho Burlington agent
of the Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy Rail
road a few days ago on orders given
from the Burlington headquarters in this
city. The money was sent by tho Adams
Express Company. When the money
was sent from the Chicago bank it was
wrapped in the usual way In which money
Is transmitted. In due course of tlmo tho
Burlington agent of the railroad received
a similar package, but it contained noth
ing but brown paper. Tho wrapper con
taining the worthless paper was returned
to Clucaga and the bank officials ara
certain It Is not the one sent out by them.
Representatives of the corporations inter
ested in the matter spent a busy day to
day Investigating tho mystery of tho
missing package, and laying plans for the
arrest of the robber, if the money was
stolen between Chicago and Burlington,
THOSE DETAINED ITALIANS.
Held With. Other Immigrants Wait
ins for Evidence.
NEW YORK, Aug. 19. Michael Gulda
and Matelo Maresca. the Italians arrested
by Secret Service men on tho steamship
Kaiser Wllhelm H, were brought over
from Ellis Island to the barge office today
with the rest of the detained immigrants.
They spent tho morning m the detention
pen and were taken back in the after
noon. The men, "as far as appearance)
went, wero no moro guarded than oro
tho other persons in detention. Thoy
walked about the pen, but had very HttZa
to say to their companions.
Whether the authorities will hold a spe
cial court of lnjulry remains to' be seen.
It was suggested by an official today that
there may bo a special board of investi
gation. It is understood that the Govern
ment officials at Washington are waiting
for evidence from tha Consul at Naples
which Is to be gathered by tha Italian
police.
How Arrest Came About.
LONDON, Aug. -19. The Romo cerre
spondent of the Daily Mall says:
"The arrest of Maresca and Guida in
New York arose out of soma letter re
ceived at Bressl's lodging subsequent to
the assassination of King Humbert. Ono
of these, dated New York, July 15, and
signed Mabor, urged Bresst to commit
the crime, urging that Maresca and
Gulda would do their duty towards Presi
dent McKinley. Maresca la known to tha
Italian polico as a most fanatical anar
