CrlMil'n Xntnlilc Career.
Born nt nibera, In the province of Glr
Bcntl, Sicily, on October 4, 1S10, Francesco
Crlspl obtnlned a sound education, which
Jio completed by studying law at Palermo.
Ills studies over ho was admitted to tho
tar at Naples and became known nt nn
enrly ngo for the ardor of his political Im
pulses, then synonymous In Sicily with
conspiracy against tho nourbon rulo In
Naples. At the bar ho was notable rather
for his learning and his liberalism than for
any oratorical power and not until the year
J8IS did hie colleagues find out how great
his abilities really were.
In that year ho was que of tho most fer
vent organizers of tho revolutionary move
ment nt rnlermo, giving It a distinctly
autonomist character and advocating with
great energy tho total separation of Slelly
from the kingdom of Naples. His nggres
livcness mndo him a marked man and his
countrymen showed their conlldenco In him
tiy electing him ono of their deputies In tho
Sicilian Insurrectionary parliament and
subsequently secretary of war In the pro
visional government. This confidence he
did not betray. Indeed, when tho history
pf this Sicilian revolution Is written It will
to seen thnt tho two years' resistance of
the revolutionists was largely duo to this
Sicilian lawyer's wise policy and widespread
Influence among his countrymen. The rev
olution failed, however, and Crlspl lied to
Tarls. There he remained for several years,
associating almost exclusively with his fel
low exiles and nvoldlng. as a rule, all Inti
macy with even the most advanced native
liberals. He spent most of his time In the
aoclety of Mnnnln. tho Venetian, and In
keeping tip a constnnt correspondence with
Mazzlnl In London. During this period ho
supported himself by teaching law and by
giving Italian lessons to several persons,
among them being I.egouvc's daughter, now
Mmo. Desvnlllleres.
Wiirkn fur the ,iuitiiiiprs.
Previous to this period from 1S40 to 1852
he had earned his bread by working for
tho newspapers of Turin, most of his
articles appearing In the Progrcsso, an
influential Journal founded about this thno
by Ccsaro Correntl. A notablo fact about
tho Progrosso Is that four members of Its
staff afterward becamo cabinet ministers of
Italy They were CeBaro Correntl, ono of
tho greatest masters of modern style, who,
before his death thirty years lator, was
fevernl times minister; Depretls, Selsmlt
Poda nml Francesco Crlspl.
A born conspirator Crlspl, though In
Tarls, caused much uneasiness to the Italian
authorities nnd the consequence was that
after u few domiciliary visits tho police of
Napoleon III politely gave him notice to
quit, He went to London with 2 ster
ling In his pocket and thero with Mazzlnt
concocted tho plot that eventually resulted
In tho liberation of Italy. In this work ho
tiad the sympathy of mnny persons who
knew how tyrannical was King Ferdinand,

GLASGOW, A. "m going to re
tire from the Intct . 'ness perma
nently," said United S. -r Chaun
cey M. Depcw to a ropl. e of tho
Associated Press today. "I u.' served my
full term and havo generally enj6yed It, but
there have been so many fictitious and er
roneous reports of my sayings and speeches
slneo I arrived In Europe this summer that
I havo concluded tu glvo up the Job.
"It Is Impossible to discuss tho great
strike Intelligently nt this distance, but the
Important thing to note Is that the pros
pcrly of American manufacturers und ngrl
culture continues In splto of everything.
Tho fnct Is thnt American prosperity Is
now so great that nothing but a revolution
could stop It nnd nothing can produce a
revolution.
"I have been seriously misquoted In nn
American paper concerning the efforts of
European governments to offset American
Inroads Into their trades and manufactures.
My observation of this movement leads to
the conclusion that while the Kuropean
governments view with alarm the lncrca
Ing Inroads of American products It Is Im
possible that they should successfully com
bine ngalnsl them. 1 nm led to this con
clusion by my railroad experience. Wo
often get n half dozen or more trunk lino
managers together who stared on certain
rates, but when the question of percntiigcs
was discussed It was always found hat
their aggregate demands reached 300 or 400
per cent, when there was s:.l 100 per cent
to divide. There Is no chance of Eurnpcnn
nations ever agreeing upon a basis of di
vision. "I haven't seen .Mr. Croker, but he Is I
apparently getting much enjoyment out of I
Kngllsh life. As a United Slates senator I I
am precluded from discussing Lord Kltch- 1
oner's prorlnmntlon. which undoubtedly wan
the most Important feature of Kngllsh poli
tics this week. It Ib bound to crente wide
spread comment, appearing as It does on
the day Lord M liner Is returned to South
Afrlcn. I presume Mr. Ilnlfour nnd Mr.
Chamberlain will enlighten us on the sub
ject nt lllenhelm today nnd it would hnvo
been n pleasure to me to hear them and
wltnrss the demonstration nt tho duke of
Mnrlborough's charming palace, had I not
thought that my presence there might be
misconstrued In the United States. It Is
hopeless to expect Kuropenn Intervention.
No matter how much the people sympathize
with tho heroic conduct of the Poors gov
ernments are forced to determine what ef
fect Intervention Is going to have for the
Doers and whero they themselves nnd
when Knglnnd declines their demands. "

SANDY HOOK, N. J., Aug. 11. Sham

olf Sandy Hook lightship shortly nfter 11
o'clock tonight and anchored for tho night
Just Inside tho lightship, half nn hour
later.
A newspaper tug nnd tho tugboat Jnmes
R. Lawrence, with David Darrlc, Sir
Thomas' personal representative In this
country, aboard, had been cruising ott
Sandy Hook for two days awaiting the ap
pearance of the foreign cup hunter. When
off tho lightship Krln burned It signals,
green and red. with n green star, and tho
tugs ran alongside. Greetings on both
sides wero hearty, but beyond saying that
tho yacht had encountered fine weather,
neither Captnln Matthews of Krln nor
Cnptaln Sycamore of tho challenger would
glvo detallR of the trip. That they re
garded It as a line performance was evi
dent from Captnln Matthews' cjanilallou
of surprise when Informed that the tugs
had been on tho lookout for It for two
days. "Give her a chance." ho shouted.
As a matter of fact, the actual time of
Shamrock II is less than fourteen days,
counting lta stop of one day nt St.
Michaels, Azores, n day better than tho
time of the old Shamrock, which was far
nnd away better than that of any former
challenger.
Captain Matthews' first Inquiry after the
greeting wns of the chnllengcr's opponent.
Constitution, and when he learned that It
had beaten Columbia on Saturday, he ex
pressed his pleasure nnd regret when ho
wns Informed of Columbln's accident In tho
race.
The yachting sharps aboard tho tugs had
no opportunity tonight to size up tho
latest aspirant for the honor of lifting
tho cup. It lay simply n thin blnck smudgo
on clark wntcrs looking strnnge with Its
stunted Jury mnst nnd queer sloop rig
with Its Jib nnd fnrestnys carried In board.
It carries the Jury mast of the old Sham
loek, but Its topmast Is fifteen fcot shorter,
so thnt the dlstnnce from deck to truck Is
probably not over ninety feet. It will bo

In which he said:
I tell you this question will have to be

declared that befnro the strlko was over
thorn-amis of men In other trades would bo
drawn Into it to save the Amalgamated
association nnd tho principles for which It
stands. Ho said:
"Wo agreed to arbitration because tho
business men nnd citizens ot Pittsburg
urged un to do ho. Wo wero willing to
risk the Interests of our organization In
the hands of others In this dispute If theio
was any prospect for peace. It is prao
tlcally tho first time In tho history of our
organization that wo hnvo gone this far.
The effect upon tho futuro would bo far
rcachlng. ns It would enable manufacturers
to osk the same concession from us ami
this wc havo In tho past declined to grnnt,
becauso ;v.',o.' feared the results. This ar
bitration being turned down flat and un

us to submit to It will have a chanco to
prove their Interest nnd friendship for
us In cur Inevitable battlo with the great
est trust that wus ever organized."
Mr. Williams said that tho strlko had
been studiously avoided by tho officers of
tho Amalgamated association. It had been
ns Btudlously encouraged by tho officials
ot tho manufacturers' organization. The
officers nf tho Amalgamated association had
done nil they could nnd hnd worked hard
