Mussolini Described as a Par agon of Virtu re A HERO IN HIS WAY He Has a Grievance Against the Government, But Is Willing to Forgive and For get Now Negotiating London, July G. The thrilling case of Mussolino, the notorious Italian brigand who for months has defied Italy's 'mili tary and police power, has now entered the negotiation stage. Signor Mariglia, mayor of Africo Di Calebra, is now in Rome as an envoy extraordinary with full powers to negotiate for the ruffian's capitulation on honorable terms. Mussolino's great and abiding griev ance is that he was unustly condemned for' murdering the first man for whose, death he was responsible. It was not -a case of murder, he contends, but of ilawfujl self-defence. If the government will grant him a fresh trial he will sur- I render. He is not in any degree worried aoout tne score ot murders he lias since committed, because the victims of his knife or gun were base wretches who perjured themselves in order tp secure the conviction of an innocent man or were persons engaged in the hunt for him. and therefore fair game There is no capital punishment in Italy, and all that can be done to Mussolino for his manifold crimes is to send him to prison for life. This i he will not mind at all, provided he is enabled first to vindicate his character in connection with his origi nal indiscretion. Signor Marilia takes himself and his mission and his client very seriously. Aiussonno. ne says, can never be cap tured, either by guile or force, the losses - sustained by the Counting peasants j uirousu ut'ir ii'iir 01 me nrigaiiu s . pre- veniing inem rrom worKing on tneir lands, the two years campaign against Mussolino has eost, according to the mayor s estimate, five million lire. The Rome correspondent of The Sun asked Signor Mariglia to describe the famous brigand, and here is the resultant1 word portrait: 'Mussolino is not an ordinary man by. any means. He is intelligent and is ab-" solutely superior. If he had the advan tnge of -a- proper education he would have developed into a genius and man of notion, who would have astonished Italy, . . - U .. 1 A. . 1 .

He .wears' a small moustache. He" taught , himself; to read and write, and has composed songs whivh the population of Astroniont are always singing." It is perfectly obvious, from Signor Mariglia's statement, that Mussolino is an injured innocent. 1 GONSITUHoiT BEATS COLUMBIA The Independence Not in the Race at Any Stage Xewp.ort, July 0. Unless th e Inde pendence can do better than she did in the race today against the Constitution and 'Columbia, to quote her owner's words, 'The reason for Independence no longer exists." In a light wind from the east that blew from seven to .ten knots an hour, and with the sea rather rough, the Constitution beat the Inde pendence, going '15 miles to windward, 50 minutes and 1.42 seconds, and the Columbia beat the Independence 48 minutes and 44 seconds. At the finish the Constitution was 11 minutes and 4 seconds aheafd of the Columbia, and the Independence Avas uot in sight. On the beat out the Constitution beat the Columbia 1 minute and o seconds actual sailing time, and runningt home the Constitution beat the Columbia 9 minutes and 8 seconds actual sailing. These times, while they show great differences between the yachts, hardly show the true form of the sailing abili ties of the races. There were some tlukkes and error's made, but they were not costly to the Constitution as she was sailed with fare good 'judgment from start to finish. On the run home the Columbia lost by an error in handling sails. On the Independence, n irrnve error of judgment put the yacht wav.i i.. :.. ii. , .... , . .

Charles Francis Adams 2nd. had charge of t.he yacht Independence, and with him wt re C. II. W. Foster, Ned Horton, Ar thur Parker, C. C. Clapp, I. M. Clarke, I' rank Crowuinshield, B. B. Crownin shield, A. D. Wilson, the sailmaker, and George Lawlwey, the builder. Captain Rhodes sailed the Constitution ana useu ner well. just as expert on the Columbia; but it is probable that Captain Hank on the Independence was hampered ,ith,-so much talent that he w fcvK responsible for-the mistakes made.- The race was 15 milt .to windward and return, and the compass course was given as east The Constitution gave a marvellous display ofT fast sailing in light weather and came up ito 5:10:08. As sire crossr ed she was greeted by those- from all the vessels in -the" vicinity. The Colum bia crossed the line at 5:59:20 and she too was given a good welcome. Away off in the fog the Independence could be made out trying to get home. The Elect r.a was. waiting at tue line to take 'her time, but some time after it he' Columbia cr ossed the Independence gave up ' the race and sailed for the harbor by th e shortest route. On actual sailing ithe Constitution beat Co lumbia 1) minutes &nd 8 seconds off the Avind- Over the whole course the Con stitution beat the Columbia 11 minutes and (J seconds actual time. She had 4o allow .the other boat one minute and 17 second's, so that she won the race by 0 minutes and 40 seconds. S - A Filipino Colony in Guam Washington, July 0.

Lord, United States minister at Buenos Ayres, this morning advised the State Depart ment that a state of siege hacr been declared in that city for six months. His message confirms the cable dis patches published this morning from the Argentine capital. Mr. Lord makes no mention, however, of the censorship of messages, and therefore it is supposed that there will be no interruption of official dispatches. The cause of the trouble is said to have been the attempt of the Arentine ii.i.i. .1 congress to consolidate tne public ueot No danger to American interests is an ticipated. Should the disorders prove serious the cruiser Atlanta will be sent to Buenos Ayres.

The intentiou of the Xavy Department to re-establish the European naval station as soon as the conditions in the Philippines permit the assignment of a sufficient number of ships to European waters will be carded into effect as soon as Rear Ad miral Bartlett J. Cromwell, now at! Iiio De Janeiro, can get to Europe. Or-1 dors to proceed 'to Europe were sent to Admiral Cromwell recently, but tin fact was not made public as the Navy i Department feared that circumstances ; might arise to prevent him from leaving, South America. Toda: Admiral Crom- i well telegraphed from Rio an acknowl-; edgment of the receipt of the orders to j proceed to Europe, but did not say when he would sail. He is the present commander-in-chief of the- oouth Atlan tic station. He will retain the Chicago a his flagship in European waters. Others were telegraphed to the cruis er Albany and the gunboat Nashville which "left Cavite for Singapore, July 3, to proceed. to Europe.reporting to Admir al Cromwell on his arrival within the limits of the station. Admiral Cromwell will "telegraph the commander of the Albany where that vessel and the Nash ville are to mee't the Chicago, if a rendezvous is deemed necessary. The orders to Admiral Cromwell give him discretion as to his movements. TLe European station was discon tinued shortly bewe the outbreak of the Spanish-American -war when Rear Admiral John A. Howell was "ordered from. Lisbon to the West Indies, on his flagship, the cruiser San Francisco. It was the .Navy Department's intention to- re-establish - the station last ; "year with -Rear Admiral Frederick Rodgers as commander-in-chief; but it was de termined to wait until peace in the Philippines - was assured. Admiral Rodgers was assigned as second in command of the Asiatic station, and is now on the flagship New York at Kobe, Japan. He will probably be sent to rele. e Admiral Cromwell in Europe next year. Commander E. C. Pendleton of the cruiser Albany, also at Rio, will remain in command of the South Atlantic sta tion until a flag officer is appointed to succeed Admiral Cromwell there. Sev eral rear admirals are available for the first duty. The Atlanta will be the only vessel left on the South Atlantic station when 'the Chicago departs. . DUMPED.

Huckleberries in Edgecombe (Tarboro Southerner.) Over the E. C. road have been shipp ed this season fifty or sixty crates of huckleberries. This is simply a be ginning. Next year the shipments will probably be very large. In the neighborhoods of. Turnage and Toady these berrries are said to be very abundant and remarkably large. If expectations are realized the profits or , the huckleberry crop of these sec tions will exceed those on cotton and peanuts and tobacco.

Damni,' a well known music; .teacher, sitting in a room with .Mrs. - Paine. The teacher did not wear his coat. The doctor drew a" 'revolver. from his pocket. Several shots were fired, each passing within a liairsbreadth of Datum's head. Naturally excited and confused, the .atter ran to the street.. Running swiftly across, the common without hat or coat, he was met by a policeman, to whom he -toW the cause of his flight. Dr. Paine was arrested a day or two afterwards. There was much specula tion with regard to the charge to be preferred against him. Many thought he would not be accused of assault with intent to kill, owing to his reputation as a marksman. Paine admitted that he could easily have killed the music teach er if he had had such an intent. HOUSECLEAnTnG IN PEKIN Preparing for Return of the Imperial Court Tekin, July 6. Preparations for the re turn of the Chinese court from Singan Fu to Pekin are now going actively for ward, and everything will be in readiness for the dowager empress and the em peror by the time they arrive in th capital. The forbidden city was yes terday closed the the public, preparatory to refurnishing jthe palace for the occu pancy of the court, and it is understood that it will not be again opened until the rulers and their suite arrive. The palace is the least injured of the several imperial domiciles, it having pTocticaKy stood intact during the siege, and it has suffered comparatively little durjng the exciting events at Pekin. A portion of the winter palace was re cently turned over to the Chinese and this has also been flosed .for repairs. The main buildings of the winter palace were burned. Everything more valua ble, including even. the carvings, was taken away by the late occupants.. The summer palace is stilj in the pos session of the Engilsh and the Italians. Part of the ornaments contained in the guest hall by the English are- the only movables that have been preserved. Owing to the enormous expense of re- pairing tne aismaniieu ana ournea cuy gates, it is proposed that new structures be erected over the Chien Men entrance. The transfer of state business from Singan Fu to Pekin has already com menced. All the provincial officials have been instructed to address the board of civil appointments at" Pekin instead of Singan Fii hereafter. (ieneral Yamaguchi, the Japanese com mander, will leave the city today. Noble Sacrifice ' London, July C A dispatch from St. Petersburg announces that the cruiser !
