Has Ns Special Political Significance.
Amicable Relations.
New York, Oct 2.—King Victor Em-
■samel's journey to Paris has no spa
clsl political significance says a Homs
dispatch to The Triban*, except that
it materially demonstrates the re-ea-
psbllshment of good relations between
France and Italy. It will have no Eu
ropean International consequences,- It
la said, for Italy has no Intention to
abandon the triple alliance, which has
Just been renewed, and which has had
a beneficial effect on the maintenance
of peaco for more than 20 years.
It Is also believed that the Mediter
ranean question exists because of
Italy’s understanding with England
sod the Prance-Itallan convention by
which Italy has given up any claim
to Morocco, and has bad right over
Tripoli recognised.
