HIS FRIENDSHIP WITH BISMARCK Written Sear Rail af HI) Life, Book Reveal Here and There Touch of Senile Haad that Pro- ' dneed Them. FLORENCE. Oct. 9. (Speclal.)-The Memoirs of Francesco Crlapl. the Italian statesman, are finally to see the light after a long delay which ha much In creased public expectation regarding the. nature of these posthumous papers penned by one who played so Important a part In the policy not only of Italy, but of all Kurope. It has been foreseen that there will bo more than one high-flavored page ln the Memoirs, considering the active hare Crlapl took ln the affairs of his country, first as a republican .member of Parliament and later as converted minister of the monarchy, his great friendship with Bismarck, his epic domestic troubles, and his connection with the scandals and brogllos of the Italian banks. Unfortunately the work will here and there reveal the senile hand that produced it: Crlspl never thought seriously of the task until fallen from popular favor and almost blind, he took advantage of an operation that gave him back bin sight some four months before his death to write ths memoirs. He passed away de serted by friends and adulators, at his. villa In Naples, August 10. 1901; and the members of his family assert that his end was hastened through the activity ha dis played In this last work which consoled him In his loneliness and loss of his partisans, who had turned against lilm In his impotence. Litigation Delayed Hook.

Crlspl' connection with the revolutionists and the lively role the dead statesman filled in his country's up rising against tyrannic rule. The volume also Includes the writer' correspondence with Mazzlnl and Garibaldi, Ms optni-jna of these personages and his eventual spilt with tho latter, In 1SI, when the two friends parted forever, causing Crlspl to change his opinion of Mazzlnl, who re mained an obdurate republican. Notwith standing his enmity, Crlspl ha handled Mazzlnl In hi "memoirs with great Impar tiality. Crlayl and Bismarck. The second volume treat of Crlspl' rise to 'the ummlt of Italian politics and his career a minister up to the year 1891, when, through a vote of lack of confidence, the Crlspl cabinet waa obliged to dissolve. Crlspl, however, rc-emerged to public view In the melancholy period of the African disaster, which wa tlus beginning of his unpopularlty. One of the most Important side of the work I tha Intercourse between Crlspl and Bismarck and the consequent caut-e that produced the Isolation of Italy In 1878, the occupation of Tunis and the dissension between Italy and France that threw the former Into the triple alliance. It I to be regretted that, owing to the family dispute over the memoirs, the work will be published simply a It material waa gathered and set down.

Gulseppe Paratore. in 1801. with a Intter to thi German majesty. In hi let ter Crlspl stated that the idra of having such a noble patron would tie a great in ducement In producing the woik. and that. having nothing else to offer In exchange, he sent him the gold medal the Sicilian had coined for him In the year 1SV9. The I emperor waa touched by the request and ' agreed to become the patron of the me- lnotrs.

Morse, who I heavily Interested In the Mercantile and several other banks In this city does not feel that the resignations of himself and of his friends should be regarded a per manent. ' Kldgley Wants Free Hand. A perplexing situation today faced the bankers and financier who were trying to straighten out the affair of the Mercantile National bank and to divorce It completely from any associa tion with F. Augustus Hetnze, its former president. With the resignation of It en tire board of directors In the hands of the clearing house, that Institution appeared to control the situation and was committed to the task of putting the bank on a firm footing. For this purpose nine clearing house banks had promised to contribute $200,000 each to tide the Mercantile ovr any distress which It might encounter a a result of the suspension of Otto Helnze Co. and F. Augustus Helnze' desire to re-establish that firm. Public Interest ln the situation lay In the action to be taken by Comptroller of the Currency William B. Rldgeley. whose acceptance of the presidency of the Mer cantile was still In some doubt. It was understood early today that Mr. Rldgeley' decision depended upon whether. he would be allowed a free hand In reorganizing the 'bank and whether he would secure the sup port of men whom he desired to back htm In the task. Direr tors Prove Stubborn. The clearing house commission held a meeting today to consider the affairs of the Mercantile National bank. It was re ported that there was a hitch ln the ar rangements as to the bank' future, due, It was laid, to a refusal of Charles W. Morse and hi friends to consider their resigna tions from the directorate as permanent. The clearing house committee was in ses sion only a short time. At the conclusion of the session.
