Crispi and Baratieri the Targets For
Abuse—Soldiers and Police FOrced
to Drive the Populace, Back at
the Point of the Bayonet.-

ROME, March 7.—The rioting caused by
the anger of the people at the conduct of
the Abyssinian campaign, brought to a
climax by the complete defeat of the Ital-
ian army, under General Baratieri, was
continued in nearly every large city, al-
though a rainstorm cleared the streets of
the capital.

At Milan 3. large mob marched through
the principal streets, smashing windows
right and left, yelling e'xecrations upon
Crispi and his ministers and calling for
the trial and prompt execution of General
Baratieri. The rioters made their way to
the railroad station, with the intention of
preventing the departure from Milan of
the army reserve of that city and neigh-

,borhood, belonging to the class of 1872.
'5 But, anticipating trouble, the authorities
.1 kept the men in the barracks of the garri-

" son and sent a regiment of infantry to

‘v

guard the railroad station. The precau-
tions. only served to increase the excite-
ment of the mob leaders, and an attempt
was made to break into the depot. A
number of sharp scrimmages between the
rioters and the soldiers and police fol-
lowed. The soldiers and carabinieri were
pelted with stones. and the points of the
bayonets and swords were used to drive
back the crowds. A number of soldiers and
policemen were injured and scores of riot-
ers were slightly wounded. The disturb-
ances continued until the troops, at the
point of the bayonet, had cleared the rail—
road station and its neighborhbod of riot-
ers and established a'cordon of soldiers
about it, while guarding with strong
pickets all the approaches.

The troops reniained on duty all night,
and as further rioting was apprehended
today the mayor issued a proclamation
exhorting the inhabitants to be calm and
prohibiting any assemblies likely to de-
velop into manifestations against the gov-
ernment.

There was also serious rioting at Parma.
The municipal buildings and railroad
depot were besieged by angry mobs, win-
dows were smashed, there were a number
of lively fights between the police and the
populace, and the troops were compelled to
fire a volley over the heads of the most
riotous of the mobs. This dampened the
anger of the rioters, who scattered in all
directions, pursued by the carabinieri,
who succeeded in arresting several of the
leaders ofthe disturbances. They will be
kept prisoners until the popular excite-
ment subsides.

A Change For the Better.

In this city today there is a decided
change for the better in the attitude of
the masses. Business is being transacted
in the usual manner, and the only evi-

dence here of the recent disturbances is
the strong additional guards of soldiers

”on duty about the palace and all public

I

’

buildings.

There were a number of meetings of the

. different branches of‘the. opposition, but '
nothing definite was decided upon, al-

though a group of members of the Right
party passed a resolution demanding the
complete abandonment of Erythes, as its
retention would‘ only involve a waste of
money and men.

The Marquis di Rudini is now looked
upon as likely to yield to the represent-a-
tions of his friends and consent to under-
take the formation of a new cabinet with
General Ricotti as minister of war. The
latter has already held that portfolio three
times, first in 1870, again in 1873 and
lastly in 1884. General Ricotti is credited
with having greatly increased the efii-
ciency of the Italian army by the intro-
duction of 'new armaments and reforms of
various natures. He was born in 1822
and resigned his command in 1882 in or-
der to have more freedom of action after
having been chosen leader of the Right
party in succession to the late Signor
Sella. Naturally, in view of the extensive
military operations undertaken by Italy,
the minister for war, at least for some
time to come, will be hardly second in
lmportance among the Italian ministers.

The Popolo Romano today refers to the
fact that considerable anxiety is felt for
the safety of the Italian garrison of Adi-
grat, and another great disaster is feared.
The troops there, it is admitted, have only
three days’ supply of provisions, and they
are known to be surrounded by the Shoan
army. Unless promptly relieved, Adi-
grat, it is said, must fall, and a further
massacre of Italian soldiers may follow.

Baldissera’s Diflicult Task.

General Baldissera, who has relieved
General Baratieri of the command of the
[talian army in Africa, is well aware of
the desperate situation of the garrison of
Adigrat and is looked upon as certain to
spare‘no effort to relieve that place. But
the question which is in everybody’s mind
here is, Will the Italian commander be

able to collect a sufficient force of troops

to accomplish his purpose, taking into
considaration the dcmoralized condition of
his African troops?

The work of dispatching re-enforee-
ments to Massaua is being pushed with
praiseworthy vigor. On board the char-
tered transports gangs of men relieve each
other, so that the fitting out of these ves—
sels is continued throughout the night.
Ilhe army reserve men of the class of 1872
just called to the colors will, so soon as
equipped, relieve regiments now doing

garrison duty, and the soldiers thus ren-

iered available for active service will be
shipped to Africa as promptly as possible
unless the incoming- ministry makes a
:omplete change in the colonial policy of
she country. as advocated by many promi-
nent men, and it is determined to make

\ peace at any price with the Abyssinians. >

“a

f~

The students of Pisa invaded theprail-
road station there as a result of a report
having been circulated that the artillery of
she garrison of that place was to be trans-
ferred to Naples for shipment to Africa.
l‘hey marched in procession to the depot,
shouting “Down with Crispi!” “Get us
sack our soldiers!” “Death to Baratieri l”
etc.

The local authorities, however. proved
equal to the occasion. A strong force of

police was sent to the station and the stu- -

lents were eventually dispersed after burn-
;ng all the copies obtainable of the gov-
arnment newspaper organs and smashing,
l few windows here and there.
The “Fight It‘ Out” Sentiment.

vocate a policy ofpeace, even if it is neces-
sary for Italy’s pride to suffer in order to
attain these ends. The masses, as a rule.
are opposed to any further sacrifice of the
lives of Italian soldiers and they are in
sympathy with those who favor a complete
change in the colonial policy of Italy.

In the meanwhile the financial situation
is alarming all those who contemplate it,
and this, it is hoped, may have, the efiect
of bringing about the adoption of a policy
of conciliation and economy. . .

A WBYLBR PROCLAMATION.

Cuban Captain General Denounces Under-
ling Overzcalousness.

HAVANA, March 7.——The captain gen-
eral of Cuba, General Valeriano Weyler,
has issued another important proclama-
tion, of which the following is a transla-
tion:

“My attention has been drawn to the
frequency with which the civil and mili-
tary authorities and the army officers in
the country and towns proceed to arrest

citizens who are afterward placed at my,

disposal to be deported from the island
without reasonable cause for such meas‘
ures, and, having pointed out in my pre-
vious circulars the charges pertaining to
war jurisdiction and the formalitiesfor
trials, I have decided to exact, in accord-
ance with said circulars. that arrests must
be justified with all reasons and proofs
possible, so as to proceed with all justice
against the prisoners.

“Therefore the authorities and army
ofi‘icers will so order in every case of any
one who is arrested without proofs enough
to establish his guilt. Written informa-
tion must be made with all the facts that
can possibly be had through verbal or con-
fidential information.

“These requisites will be more exacted
in the towns, where all loyal people must
contribute to them, as safety there is great-
er and as in so doing they will assist the
authorities to re-establish order and peace
by co-operating in a strict compliance with
justice, for which a line has been traced
by me. '

‘ ‘ These informations and material proofs
will be sent to this ofi‘ice to proceed ac-
cordingly, it being understood that I will
hold strictly responsible any officer who
does not furnish the proofs required in the
cases mentioned. ”

Corbett Says He Will Sign the Articles.

CHICAGO, March 7.—When Pugilist Cor-
bett saw the skeleton agreement for a. 20
round contest betwoen himself and Robert
Fitzsimmons, he said: “I will sign an
agreement of this kind, although it does
not suit me in many particulars. In fact,
I am willing to sign anything that will
insure a fight with Fitzsimmons, although
I believe I will never be able to get him
into a ring with me.”

Eastern People Divorced Out \Vest.

WAHPETAN, N. D., March 7.~Harriet
A. Crawford, wife of Daniel D. Crawford,
a wealthy lumber merchant of Brooklyn,
has been granted a divorce. Emile Mosh-
er, wife of A. M. Mosher, a wholesale mer-
chant of Utica, N. Y., was given her free-
dom and $4,000 alimony. Edna Parmalee,
wife of a' prominent Middletown, Conn.,
politician, was also granted a divorce and
$1,000 alimony.

The Utlca Horror.

UTICA, N. Y., March 7.——There will be
no search made for bodies in the ruins of
Genesee flats until Monday. ,The city au-
thorities, after condemning the standing
walls as unsafe and ordering them razed.

owners, time to render them safe. The
latter intend to lop off only the highest
stories and rebuild a four story edifice on
the site.

Too Much Politics In It.

ST. LOUIS, March 7.——The Manufactur-
ers’ association of this city has withdrawn
from the National association. At the
meeting A. J. Shultz, who headed the
delegation from St. Louis to the recent na-
tional convention at Chicago, made a re-

port. The Chicago meeting, he’said, was
a failure. There was too much politics in
it.

Phil Daly, Jr., “'ins in Shooting Match.

HOT SPRINGS, March 7.-—-Phil Daly, Jr.,
of Long Branch, and John J. Sumpter,
Jr., of this city, shot a live bird match at
Whittington park for $500 a~ side. About

match was at 150 live birds, Daly killing
142 out of the number and 99 straight out
of the last 100. Sumpter killed 138.

College Football Conference.

BOSTON, March 7.—A conference of

Big Rice Firm Fails.
NEW YORK, March 7.——The firm of Dan
Talmage Sons, one of the largest houses
in the rice trade, has made an assignment.

The‘assignment is understood to be large— .

ly due to the low price of rice, which has

, been brought about by the keen competi-
' tion in trade. The founder of the firm died

20 years ago.

Governor Altgeld Indorsed.

CLINTON, 1115., March 7.—The first
Democratic county convention held in Illi-
nois assembled here. Resolutions were

LARGE RAILWAY EARNINGS.

Range of Prices—Cotton Is on the
Toboggan—Tho Failures P.9-
purted For the W'cek.

NEW YORK, March 7.-—R. G. Dun ,&
Co. ’5 weekly reviewof trade says:

The Cuban resolutions and the appoint-
ment of receivers for the Baltimore and
Ohio were events of sufficient importance
to affect almost any genuine market, es-
pecially for securities. It therefore ar-
gues either remarkable strength of condi-
tions or an- entire want of life and gen-
uincness in the market that the prices oi
the 60 most active railroad stocks, which
averaged 849. 74 per share Feb. 1, have
never fallen since that date lower than
$49.36 nor risen above $50.85 per share.
The market is largely under the control of
operators who cannot afford to see it do.
cline much, but it is also true that the
vote on Cuba and the receivership had both
been discounted. While the Baltimore and
Ohio and its feeder operated 2, 417 miles of
railway, had 843, 500,000 stock and about
$123,000,000 funded and floating debt, it
has not been a strong corporation for a
long time nor so managed as to win con-
fidence. Yet the transaction seems to have
caused surprise abroad and large selling
of American stocks by London, the net
transactions having been about 30,000
shares. ,

The strength of the market is largely
due to more satisfactory reports of railway
earnings, which amounted in February on
roads within the United States only to
$22,822,384, showing a gain of 12.2 per
cent over last year, though 6.7 per cent
smaller than in 1893. If Canadian and
Mexican roads were included, as in other
comparisons they are, the returns would
appear more favorable. The latest week,
though only half of the roads have yet re-
ported, looks better than the one before.
The volume of business reflected by clear-
ing house exchanges is not materially‘imi
proving, the week’s returns showing a
gain of only 6.5 percent over last year and
a decrease of 17.6 per cent in comparison
with the same week of 1893. It must yet
be broadly stated that business appears to .
improve only in prospect, and in the con-
fidence on which future transactions may
be based, but not as yet in actual sales ac-
complished.

Lower Prices.

The industries all report a slightly low-
er range of prices, except for iron and
steel products, and it is noteworthy that
while combinations in structural beams
and wire and cut nails are advancing
prices, the quotation for bessemer pig has
fallen to 812.40 at Pittsburg, and South-
ern NO. 2 is offered at $7.75 deliverable at
Birmingham, and billets have sold at $17
at Pittsburg. The bar combination which
raised prices not long ago finds an —in_-
creasing part of the business absorbed by
outside works. The demand for no class
of iron products is at this time brisk, but
a large structural business visexpected in
the spring, and there is still much hope.
fulness about railroad orders, as earnings
continue to improve. The reports of the
boot" and shoe interest are on the whole
more encouraging this week, shipments
from the east being still nearly 20 per
cent less than, last year, but there was no
further decline in prices. It is felt that
the manufacturers cannot afford to reduce
figures further, with the present cost of
materials, and yet the condition of the
trade and the recent considerable reduc-
tions have led jobbers to believe that de-
lay in buying will be to their advantage.
No important change appears in the leath-
er market, and hides are somewhat
weaker. .1

Prices of wool have declined, according
to the quotations printed by Coates Bros.
of Philadelphia, an average of 2.4 per cent
within the month of February, presum-
ably because of the failure of the proposed
tariff bill, which included duties on wool.
At present the sales are the smallest ro-
cOrded for years, at the three chief mar-
kets only 3,303,000 pounds the past week
against 4,858,300 a year ago and 6,310,-
600 in 1892.

Holding W'ool Back.

Domestic holders are still somewhat ob--.
stinate because prices abroad have been
raised by the London sales, and it is be-
lieved that the stocks of domestic wool
held here awaiting transactions are un-
usually laxge. There is no improvement
whatev er in thy demand for woolen goods,
and a number of establishments have
closed or reduced working force. There
is also a retarding effect from the strikes
in the clothing trade in several cities.
Some further reductions have been made
in prices of cotton goods, although it does
not appear that the concessions have thus
far been successful in calling out new busi-
ness. Reports are frequent that many of
the largest mills are about to stop produc-
tion for a time in order to give the mar-
ket opportunity to clear itself.

Speculation in breadstufi's has not been
particularly active, nor has the change in
prices been important. Western receipts
of wheat were 2, 301,633 bushels, against
1,824,933 for the same week last year, hav—
ing been in February 10, 090,144 bushels
against 4,910,446 last year. ,There is still
an excess over the movement of a year ago,
though not ‘so great as appeared in Febru-
ary. On the other hand, Atlantic exports
again fall behind those Of last year,
amounting for the week to 1,541,135 bush-
els, flour included, against 1,880,222 last
year. With continuing large receipts,
corn remains substantially unchanged in
price. The cotton market has continued
its downward movement, spots have fallen
three-sixteenths again and the May option
a quarter. The receipts continue as before
so large as to render quite inadmissible
the low estimates of the crop of 1895, and
at the same time the preparations for
planting this year go on at such a scale
that it is believed, by many conservative
observers, that the crop, with favoring
weather, may prove one of the largest on
record.

Failures for the Week have been 285 in
the United States against 234'last year
and 68 in Canada against 58 last year.

. AMATEUR SINGERS.
They Should Attempt Ambitious Feats in
' Public with Caution.

The average American to-day knows
more of music than he did 20 years ago
and only those who have worked for
years under the guidance of the best
masters feel ‘l1ke playing for others
not within the innermost circle of ad-
miring friends. But, alas! the case
seems to be quite reversed in singing.
How often. have we made one of a band
of unhappy but smillng victims, forced
to listen to some otherwise charming
girl, who, after perhaps not more than
one quarter's lessous, tries to enter-
tain a. room full of company, totally
unconscious of hercruelty! Apartially
trained voice is at times most-beauti—-
ful, but islamentably at the mercy of
circumstances. A slight cold; a close

rroom; a. little nervousness—What 110T-

rible visions of failure they conjure up!
But' look at the experienced artist. . He
is also mortal, but he has learned to
cover up little. defects; knows just

what his voice Will and will not do, and

so makes himself master of the situa-
tion. -
Singing should be perfectly natural,
but we are constantly straining after
effect, and'trying to make our untu-.
tored' voices perform Feats which only
years can accomplish. Some little un-
pretentious ballad in our mother
tongue sung to friends who enjoy it
for the singer's sake as well as the
song's, may give ever so much pleas-
ure; but a. German, French or Italian
mate skill that the music alone brings
unless rendered with such consum-
mate skill t hat the music alone brings
out the composer‘s thought, might
much better be played on a violin. By
all means study the, works of the ma-
ters, but do not try to interpret them
for others until you can handle your
voice at will. Another thing is to keep
in mind that a good voice and a correct
car are not the only necessary attri-
butes of the successful singer. Schu-
mann says: “The most important
thing for a. musician is to cultivate his
inner sense"—--that indescribable some-
thing which compels others to feel
what you feel. The artist must have
it, or who will buy his bits of canvas
and patches of. color? The writer must
have it or who will wade through his
effusions? T he speaker must have it,
or his audience will be. gathering the
fleecy coats from the occupants of for
distant pastures. instead of his gems of
thought. The pianist must have it, or
his music will simply act as a stimulus
to conversation. Alas, then, for the
singer who has it not! He may, as Well
use a Sparking trumpet- fo address his
hearers or turn the crank of a phono-
graph. When you tmgle all over with
the feeling of the song, are swayed by
it, lifted out of yourself—then, and not
until then, are you singing. If you are
only making certain sounds according
to the directions of your singing mas-
ter, you are wasting your breath. _
Many people have‘ this real musical
gift, but it is latent and wails to be de-
veloped; therefore, my plea is for more

cultivation among amateur singers.

Why should you not work as industri-
ously as those who play the piano? If
people will listen to your voice unculti-
vated, why should you stop there and
never develop lhe grander possibilities
within reach?——Thc Outlook.

 

 

HAD HIM FAST.
A Yankee‘s Remark at the Tomb of Lord.
Nelson.

The English people will never under—
stand the humorous temper of the
American, which makes him ask such
questions as that recorded by Mark

Twain as having been asked by a.
friend of his in the British museum.
A guide had exhibited an Egyptian
mummy, and discoursel long upon the
antiquity of it, and the Egyptian proc-
ess of embalming, and so forth; and at
last the American asked: “Is be dead ?”

It was only recently, according to a
letter in an exchange, that in St. Paul’s
cathedral a London guide held forth
thus to an American gentleman:

“That, sir, is the tomb of the great-
est naval ’ero Europe or the whole
world ever knew!”

“Yes?” . -

“It is, sir, the tomb of Lord Nelson.
This marble sarcophiggus weighs 42
tons. Hinside that is a’steel receptacle
weighing 12 tons, and hinside that is
a, leaden casket, ’ermetrcally sealed,
weighing two tons. Hinside that is a

ma‘ogany coflin ’olding the ashes of the

great ’ero.”

“Well,” said the Yankee, after reflect-
ing a moment, “I guess you’ve got him.
If he ever gets out of that, telegraph
me at my eXT‘Pnsn”
