Washington, April L The impres- sion is deepening in diplomatio circle that there is a decidedly personal aspect to the withdrawal of Baron Fava. It is learned that laat year Carlton, United States consul at Palermo, made formal report to th secretary of state upon the subject of brigandage in Italy. He described a number of cases of outrageous treatment of foreign citizens, Americans included, by Italian banditti and proceeded to acor the Italian government deeply for it failure to suppress these criminals and defend foreigners in Italy. This report was published in this country, and so aroused the indignation of .Baron Fava, the Italian minister, that he promptly notified his government of the nature of the report and announced bis determination to secure recall In Secretary the consul' Blaine' absence he was able to do this. Blaine was much displeased at the action taken, but it was too late to recall the department's decision. Consequently the relations between the secretary and the baron became somewhat lees pleasant than they have been, and according to gossip floating about the state department by some means not exactly described the Italian government came to understand that a representative on more cordial terms with the prominent United States official might obtain more favors for his government For over Fifteen Months it has Triumphed.

Besides it would be well to bear in mind that products of the farm pay a smaller margin of profit than most any other class of freight and it would be no surprising result to witness an equilibrium between gross and net earnings restored through a decreasing volume of tonnage.
