PRESS COMMENTS oS THE DEMONSTRATIONS.
The moderate Liberals attribute the demonstration to
UltramOntaDe influences. The Liberia remarks that,
owing the calm and digned attitude OF the popua-
iion the demonstrations did not have the results hoped
for by its imprudent and fanatic promoters.
La Cagtolc 9ears that the demonstration was organ
izeu either by some thoughess individuals by agents
of those DESTROYS OF stirring up agitation in Italy
The Dhit0 ministerial orgsDI maintains the neees-
atty OF preserving intact the right OF public meeting but
states that Governments firmly resolved 70 prevent
any demonstrations that disturb public order. Tho
sane journal says, referring che requirements OF -
ternatona usage in relation TO the proceedings Of tho
agators The Government is fully alive 70 It's duties
and obligations toward friendly power, and is deter
