PARIS, Jan IA special dispatch from
Rome TO The Rspublique Franchise says Min
ister Floursns has formally complained to
Sig Crispi Of the delay in finally settling
the questions arising from the outrage on
the French consul and adds that should an
Italian judge attempt to carry out the threats
OF again forcing an entrance into the consul
ate TO seizs his papers France would imme-
dlately withdraw her ambassador and take
such steps as the honor Of the country might
demand
The incident mentioned consisted of a
breach Of consular rights on the part of the
Florence police, who had searched the French
consulate for papers connected with pend
ing lawsuit over a succession to property
10 Paris urges the government to demand
complete satisfaction for the indgnity, and
in the event of u failure OF Italy TO comply to
break oil the relations between France and
Italy and expol all Italians from France.
The feeling of bitterness is hourly increas-
ing, and many persons fear that some other
pretext for recalling the French Ambassador
may be found should Italy heed Frances
warning and refrain from repeating her Of
Tense. There is no probability, however, that
the French government will yield to publ C
clamor or the counsels of imprudont advisers
by pursuing the matter any further than the
circumstances demand, aud the fears Of the
timid will doubtless be allayed 10y an ample
apology from the Italian government in due
time.
Several evening papers violently attack
Italy, and La France alludes to Premier
Crispi as "Bsmarck's valet" The French
consul at Florence has received certain in
structionS as TO the course to pursue in case
the incident is prolonged.
1t is semi-oficialIy stated that Count do

Crispi, the Italian premier, that il such

lr is understood that there will be a
strong effort made in the house to dis
pense with the rule which sets aside Fri
day evening sessions for private pension
bills. At these night sessions but few
members are present, and the bills passed
then do not, by any means, receive the
consideration Of quorum of the house
The result of this inconsiderate passage
of bills by few members was what led to
the veto of so many private pension bills
by the president. There will probably
be members who will attend these ses>
sions and insist upon the presence of a
quorum. In that eyeat ssitt----ssals.lh most
lhely ue as 1t was in the last part OF the
last session, and no bills would be passed
