THE ITALIAN TRAGEDY.
AUCKLAND'S MESSAGE OF
SYMPATHY.
His Worship the Mayor, on behalf of the Citizens of Auckland, has forwarded the following letter of condolence to the Consul for Italy at Auckland:— 31st July, 1900.—The Consul for Italy, Auckland. —Dear Sir, —On my own behalf and on behalf of the citizens of Auckland, I desire to convey to you as representing the Kingdom of Italy in this city our heartfelt horror at the cowardly crime which has deprived that country of its ruler in the person of His Late Majesty King Humbert. Wherever throughout the British. Dominions the telegraph flashed the sad news the hearts of our countrymen would go out towards the people of Italy in a great and sincere wave of sympathy, and in this city a feeling of deep sorrow has been expressed, which I now desire to convey to you. The loss of such a wise and beneficent ruler must necessarily be a severe blow to the nation over whose destinies he has presided, and when it occurs under such deplorable circumstances as the present it not only calls for our natural feelings of regret, but also for those deeper sentiments of true sorrow, sympathy and condolence which on behalf of this city I desire to, express.
