KOMK, July 11 (Special.) The account
of Plu X'a pronouncement reKarding tha
fallh of the KYench pl,le related In a
non-Catholl.: Journal (n the form of a Mtr
frmn Alberto Iximbroao. He tella that tlie
eovcrelRn pontlfT gave prlxate audlenoa to
Canon Patrick O'Quln. who. In apUe of
lila Irish name, la from Pau, France. The
pope was amlllns, and in good humor. At
the il. of the audlenc Abbe O'Quln anld
In Italian, though with a French accent:
Holy father. I ask you for a apeolal bene
diction for Fiance In order that ahe may
not loae the faith."
"le quite at your eaae," replied Plus X.
".he will riot losa It."
In a private audience (ranted by hla
hnhnt-aa to Commendatore Kambo, JudKe
of ti e Republic of San Marino, tha Utter
presented the pontiff, In tha name of the
republic, with two apeclmena of tha medal
which bad been atruck thara to commemo

to lta ancient constitution an event which
happened last year by decree of the gov

preeent hla thajike to the raptalna retfent
f that ancient republic, which la on of
the most Interestliip: remnants of the laet
age that Durop liaa to present to the
Intellectual traveler. Considering how
strange it la that In thla lltth apot, amidst
the barren mountains near Klmlnl a re
public should have existed with lta peculiar
lawa and custom during a period of four
teen centuries, the wonder ia tbaU ourl

The condition of hotelB and tnna met itt
In the anialler cities and towns of Italy
those places that lie beyond the ordinary
track of truvil. has atruck even an Italian
traveler, who records his experiences in a
Kiiniun Journal. He notes thaf there are
Interesting: cities and towns' well worth
even Italians visiting in the outlying dis
tricts of I'mhria, I Marche and L,'Ab
bruzxo, which are known to only a few
atudants in spite of their natural beauties
and their artistic glories Here there are
fields admirably cultivated, panoramas of
grand scenery, where the silver of the
snow melts Into the aiure of the aea and
the burning gold of the sun tllutr.lnntes
monuments of the rarest and most artistic
beauty.
Aooordltig to thla ItaUan writer, one of
the drawbacks to traveling In Italy Is
the hotels. The condition of the hotels
In these out-of-the-way places Is such us
to dishonor a civilised country just as a
defeat in war might. In many places ho.
tela are even wanting because traveling
stranger are wanting, and under these
conditions and circumstances the writer
does not hold the natives treat ly to blame.
Occasionally In audi places the visitor has
to seek lodging In a private r sidence.
If the traveler is furnished with the pro)er
lettera of recommendation he finds that
the ancient hospitality prevails the "sig-
nori" of the place offering their house,
their carriage and their table to the vis
itor during his stay, and all with the most
exquisite courtesy.
Not te speak of the places that are In
significant and without any special attrac
tions, where the stranger would never de
sire to stop, there are cltlea and towns
which are centers of art and history, or
are sttrtlng places for excursions, or which
are Joyous In the possession of fair views
and pure fresh air.
Towns Par front Hallraada.
One of the peculiar features met with In
central Italy Is that of having the towna
far distant from the railway station, and
to reach your destination you may have
to pass from one to two or more hours In
what is facetiously termed a diligence and
sometimes still more facetiously called a
carriage. To begin with, says the "Travel
ing Italian," this Is a serious Inconvenience.
But wheji the Journey has to be made under
a burning sun or in the midst of sun
and rain, In a horrible, old. disconnected
vehicle, with one door that will not open
and another that will not shut, driven by
a Jehu W years of age, or a boy of 7,
dragged by an lndlscrtbable rosinante,
whether horse or mule or donkey, the un
dertaking becomes a serktuB affair. You
can. If you are good-natured, and If one
of your fellow travelers is not given to
blaspheming and the other to lamenting
the evil state of affairs, amuse yourself
by looking abroad on the country, which
a often happens is enchanting In its
plstureaque beauty. Sometimes, too, you
may laugh at the wlttlclatns of the driver
or a paasengnr. But when you reach the
tnn you laugh no more.
The tnn la of various kinds. It Is always,
or nearly always, set in the noisiest cen
ter, where. the population is moat numer
ous and where every view of the sur
rounding landscape Is shut out. It is the
antiquated "UK-anda." or lodging, where
the host and homes do all of the work
They receive the guests, clean the rooms,
waah the linen, keep the'accounta, do the
cooking and carry on the conversation.
This, says the "Italian Traveler," Is what
Is 'called the "old style," dirty and good
natured. It Is not Infrequent that the
roommlstress of the house, showing you
into your room and pointing out the sleep
destroying bed, the rickety chairs, the
washbasin, no larger than a soup plate,
w4th a water Jug that looks like a cof
fee pot, turns to you with a prodigious
serenity, saying: "As for cleanliness, don't
let that trouble you, sir! 1 take care of
that myself and I know that cleanliness in
a hotel Is everything,"
Ulany .Neglected Places.
It Is needless to follow the writer into
other details; the signs that the floor has
been unswept and notortouaiy unwashed for
months; the lost hairpin of some untidy
waiting maid; the cigar ashes left so long
ago by some untidy tenant who strove to
deaden the musty smell of the place and
other evidences of neglect.
These and oilier things such aa poor food
rendered until foe human beings ly
wretched cookery make a tour In certain
parts of Italy a aeries of adventures and
not always advent uies of the moat pleas
ant kind. A very celebrated art crltie. who
In the pursuit of his researches, waa obliged
to vlalt every village and town of I'ni
brla and the Marche had hla health ruined
by bad unci Insufficient nourishment ; even
the almoat universal egg was not to be had.
Aa a rule, even the most neglected hotel
or Inn it usually happens that the bed linen
is clean; though In Valmontune In the
autumn seasons lien fruits aie piled up In
the bed room and insects of many kinds
inhabit, these rooms It la often the part of
wisdom to sit up all night and let these
Insects flsht out a sort of tribal war among
themselves.
Americans who are pouring into Kurope
by the thousands and the tell of thousands
will, unless they are accustomed to "rough
ing it" do well to keep out of many sec
tions of the Interior of Italy. As a gen
eral thing by hugging the seaport cltlea
they ran get along and if worst comes to
Worst can head for some fair-sized town
and find a boat and make their way back
to the comforta of olvlltxatlon.
Most Democratic Kins;.
Victor Kmanuel LU. the king of Italy, la
not only one of the most "constitutional"
of kings, but he la one of the most demo
cratic. He has recently been Interviewed,
and he oiienty saya that he takea little in
terest in politics, leaving to hla ministers
the duty of regulating the affaire of (he
nation. He prefers, he says, meeting the
people themselves; attending the Inaugu

numerous princely and notable persons who
visit Italy.
in giving his opinion of the Italian poet.
Ulosue Carducci, and the French (Kiel and

it waa hla belief that the French people

In reference to Vlotor Hugo. The king is
