MINISTER CR1SPI RETIRES
The Situation at Koine Grows More
Critical Daily.
THE OUTLOOK IS THREATENING
Tb. Situation at Koin. U So Critical That
Troop. U.v. Veen Confined to
Their Barrack, in Order to Be
Available at Any Moment.
Home, March S. Reports from every
city and town of cunsequence throtigh
out Italy show that the excitement
caused by the Italian reverse In Abys
stnlu displays no sign of waning, on
the contrary, in many places It grows
greater us the meagre details of the
defeat tiller through the press from
otticlal sources.
Prime .Minister Crlspl and the other
mem litis of the cabinet have been
compelled to retire from oftice, that
fact having been announced In the
chamber of . deputies today umld a
scene thut can fittingly be described
as pandemonium.
The situation In Home Is so critical
that the troops have been coiillned to
their barracks, a measure of precaution
that will enable them to be hastily de
spatched to any putt of the city should
their set vices be necessary to quell dis
turbances. The I'nlveislty has been
closed, the authorities fearing that the
hot-heuiled students would attempt to
make u demonstration, which, iu the
present condition of the popular temp
er might lead to serious rioting, lie
spite the precautions taken, however,
there were severul disturbances tonight
but the police were able to handle the
crowds without calling noun the mil
itary for aid. A number of arrests
were made for disorderly conduct.
The popular Indignation Is directed
against Signor Crlspl and the other
ministers, who rightly or wrongly are
held responsible for the disgrace that
has befallen the Italian army. As u
matter of fact, however, Slgnnr Crlspl
ilhl not at lirst approve of the coun
try's embarking iiimjii the hazardous
undertaking or conquering the Aliys
sinians, and it was only due to the pres
sure exerted upon him that caused him
to support the policy of expanding the
Kalian possessions Iu Africa. This fact
counts fur lltt'c now, and the inline
minister's enemies, of whom he has :i
great number, took is nshm of the pop
ular feeling to incite the whole Italian
people so fur as poss'ble to pour out
the vials of tlnlr wrath upon Slgnor
Crlspl und his colleagues In the min
istry. Their success whs marked, ami
it Is feared now that the storm they
have rulstd will assume such propor
tions that It will Indeed be a hard work
for the king to secure any mutt to un
dertake the formation or a new cabinet.
There Is u probability that his maj
esty will be forced to request Slgnor
Crlspl to aguln assume ollice. Iu which
event' there will be flirt her and still
louder outcry against him.
KKSKKVKS !' 1ST:.'.
The ruling out or the reserves of 1872
to serve with the colors has ulso added
to the dissatisfaction, and in some In
stances has been one tif the causes that
have led to the disorderly demonstru-
tions. 'Plus'? reserves are the men born
In IS72. and the culling or them from (
their employments will cause serious
tlnuuclal loss to them. Naples. Brescia,
Palermo. I'atanla. Florence, Venice and
Snssarl were the scenes of last night's
disturbances growing nut of the feeling
engendered by the army's defeat and
the opposition to having the young men
of the country forced to throw aside
their means of earning a livelihood to
take up arms. Many people argue that
In View of all the circumstance of the
case It would be foolhurdiness for Italy
to further continue her attempted con
quest of Abyssinia, but it Is claimed by
others that It Is absolutely necessary
for the country to curry out the cam
paign and restore her furnished pres
tige. They believe that if a decisive
blow Is not Inflicted upon the Abyssin
ian the latter will eventually drive the
Italians out of Kythrea.
The scene In the chamber of deputies
today was one to be long renieniliered.
Long before the hour of opening the
chamber enormous .crowds of people
thronged the vicinity und pructicully
surrounded the building. As time wont
on the crowds Increased and the ex
citement or the populace grew more in
tense. The Ktrets In the vicinity or the
chamber were patrolled by troops, who
experienced difficulty le making their
way through the packed thoroughfares.
The members of the ministry In pro- 1
feeding to the chumler evaded the I
crowd us much as possible. When Slg- !
nor Ruccelll. -minister of public Inst rue- I
tlon. arrived In the chamber he was
hissed by the opposition deputies and I
cheered by those who udhere to the I
ministry.
I'PROAR IN TirK rilAHHKIt.
The sitting- of the chamber wus of
the wildest character, the uproar be
ginning us soon as the chamber was
called to order. Slgnor Crlspl an
nounced the resignation of the culi
inet. and said that the resignations had
been accented bv the kliur. TIiIm uii-
nouncement was received with pro- !
longed una passionnte applause. The
member of the extreme left shouted
insults nt Signor Crlspl, but the pre- I
niler preserved his temper, and when !
he was enabled to obtuin a hearing de
clared with greut firmness that the
ministry until the nomination of their
successor would retain oflU eand main
tain public order. .
The members or the extreme left gave
notice of their Intention to Introduce u
motion demanding the impeiichment of
Premier L'rispi and the members of the
ministry.
The uproar continued throughout the
sitting with more or less volume and
the scenes of extreme disorders were
renewed when tint president declared
the sitting ended.
Mauwhile the crowds . outside were
shooting, cheering, cursing, hissing,
howling and groaning. Ten arrests
were made by the police of men who
hissed members of the ministry a they
came out of the chamber, but the his
ing and howling continued Just the
same. The ministers paid no atten
tion to the crowd, but escorted by pdlce
entered their carriages and were1 driv
en rapidly away.
OPTLOOK THRKATKXINtl.
Tonight the demonstrations against
Crlspl became more energetic and the
outlook was very threatening. Great
crowds gathered In the streets and so
cialist and radical orator, mounting
steps, boxes or anything that would
lift them above the level of the mobs,
passionately harangued them pointing
out that all the evil that has befallen
Italy came from the mud administra
tion of the present cabinet. The prime
minister and hi supporter were vio
lently assulled and the crowds were
worked up Into a condition bordering
on frenzy. At this point the police In
force Intervened and broke up the meet
ings, not, however, without great dlitt
culty. letter a crowd marched to the resi
dence of Slgnor Crlspl and made a dem
onstration before It. Kvery opprobri
ous term In the Italian language was
hurled at him. but no attention was
puid to the? crowd by those in the
house. Then the mob marched to the
offices of the newspapers that support
the government and shattered the win
dows with sledges, bricks and clubs.
In driving the rioters away several po
licemen were quite severely injured.
A Milan despatch tonight states that
there has been another collision there
between the police and citizens. The
police used their swords and wounded
nine persons.

ut the Municipal hospital. The mistake
has tvsiilted Iu the body of a child

ing, shipped to West Kllxabelh. Alle
gheny county, and given u public ru
nernl, while another, whose deuth re
sulted from pneumonia, was burled In

contagion, .tin- oodles were sent to the
wrong homes, the family here burying;
the chihl whose home was iu West

TRAGEDY AT WOODWARD.
I'no Constubles killed by a Hoperate
Criminal -Hi. Horn, of the Murderer
Itesulgcd.
Kellefonte, Pa., March a. Word has
been received here from Woodward, a
small hamlet twenty-live miles from
here In the eastern end or the county,
giving meagre details of a horrible
tragedy enacted there. While two con
stables were endeavoring to arrest a,
desperate criminal named William Kt
II'. iter, lie resisted arrest and shot both
of the constables, one, John L. Burner,
being reported us falling dead In his
tracks: and the other, Krunk tlelswhlte,
being fatally injured and not likely to
survive until morning. Kt linger then
bun leaded his house and delted arrest
ut the hands of a posse of Infuriated
citizens who hud gathered on the scene,
keeping them at bay with dynamite
und u free exhibition of double barreled
shotguns.
As they were unable to tnke Ktllnger.
ward was telegraphed to the sheriff
here, and he. w ith a large posse of well
armed men departed at ti o'clock on a
speciul train for Woodward, having
Hist telegraphed to not allow Klllliger
to escape, und 1n shoot him down If he
made the attempt. As Woodward. Is
seven miles from u telegraph station,
no later facts have been obtained, and
it will piobably be very late when the
sheriff and his party return.
The latest word received from the
scene of the Ptllnger battle at Wood
ward gives the scene us baffling any
thing like an accurate description. The
house Is now surrounded by nearly a
thousand men, but nil are afraid to ven
ture too close, as Kt linger declares he
will resist urrest as long us Jie has a
breath In his body and will kill uny
mini attempting to take him. Alto
gether over uliu shots huve been ex
changed and nt least one man. John
Mtisser, seriously shot. It Is ulso be
lieved that Mrs. Ktllnger, who wus
helping her husband defend the house,
has been shot und killed us she was
seen to throw up her hands und full
backward from u window on the llriug
of ii volley by the crowd.
The sheriff Is ut his wits ends as the
best means of dislodging. Ktllnger. lie
could burn the house, but does not wish
to resort to this on account of Ktlln
gei's children und Rurner's dead body,
which Is still Inside. The crowd sur
rounding Ktlinger's house has been
worked up to u pitch of furious excite
ment and if the man is taken alive there
Is every probability that he will be
strung up to the (list tree.

NEW ENGLAND PAYORS PEACE
No Right to Interfere In Venezuelan
Affairs Our Own Situation Is
Deplorable Knough . Without
Seeking Trouble Abroad.
New York. March n. Ex-Senutor
Cieorge S. lioutwoll, of Massachusetts,
who was secretary of the treasury un
der Cienerul (Irani' administration,
was at the Fifth Avenue hotel today.
He is considered nn authority on iln
anclal matters, and he has made a
study of International law. His Idea
Is that the position taken by this gov
ernment in regard to the Venezuelan
boundary dispute is untenable, and
may lead to complication. He 1 also
opposed to the recognition ot the In
surgents in Cuba. A reporter saw the
ex-secretary anil asked hint to explain
his position on the Venezuelan dis
pute. He said thnt he had written an ar
ticle on the subject and he quoted from
It as follows: "First, no one In this
country has any knowledge of the line
hi' dispute and therefore we have no
position to take in regard to the de
fense of Venezuela, Then, tho com
mission appointed by the president
might make any one of the three fol
lowing decisions: First, thnt F.ng
lund's claim is sustained In every par
ticular; second, that the evidence might
be of such a nature thut I In; commis
sion could not reach a satisfactory con
clusion, and. third, the comuilsslou
might differ In opinion, Iu which case
neither the majority nor minority re
port would const it ute a basis for ac
tion. Again, the Monroe Doctrine prop
erly interprotitl (Iocs not embrace con
troversies over boundary lines or
claims of Kuropeau governments
against American states for debt due
or Injuries committed by such gov
ernment on la ml or water. The Mon
roe IXictrlno Is limited to cases like
thut of Napoleon when he attempted
tj subvert the Republic of Mexico and
establish an empire
"President Monroe's protest of 1S23
was limited to the attempt to create
on this continent 'any new Kuropeau
colonial establishment.' it Is apparent
thut the question of hounds ry Is not
Included in this phrase properly Inter
preted. I'nder the Monroe doctrine,
properly Interpreted, we stand nloof.
entirely free from the contentions that
from time to time may arise between
the dynastic stutes of Kurope. Hut
when. In the course of events, it bhall
appear from evidence then existing that
It Is the purpose of u Kuropeau state to
overthrow the gos'erninent and subvert
the institutions of a 'republic Iu an
American state, the 1'nlted States can
then, ns to that case and upon the facts
then known, decide what ought to be
done."
.Mr. limit well also maintained that
the Mom on doctrine was no part of the
law of nations, and ought never to he
come a part of the law of nations; that
It is a rule for Hie 1'nlted States, to be
interpreted and applied by our own
government, ami for the protection of
our own right und Interests, and that
we should neither usk any other nation
to adopt it nor permit any other nation
to interpret It.
"Whnt should this government do in
the case of Culm?" he wus asked.
"Nothing should be done. We hnve
no Interest In the war there whatever,
and should keep out or broils. Our own
situation here Is deplorable enough. As
far as New Knglaml Is concerned, there
Is no public Interest there or feeling for
or against Soiiln. We want peace und
would like prosperity If we can get It."

Washington.
