ROME, March 9.--In the Chamber of
Deputies to-day Prince Minister Crispi said
that the ties connecting the Italian and
German dynasties and peoples, the identity
of interests they defended and the objects
they had achieved, caused Italians to feel
deeply the death Of Emperor William. He
proposed that the President interpret the
sentiments of the nation and that the
Chamber give expression of their sympathy
with stricken Germany, and their good
wishes for the Emperor. The President
said that the German ambassador had Just
visited him, and had requested him to thank
the Chamber for its recent votes of sym
pathy with the Crown Prince. The Cham
ber, the President said, shared Germauy's
grief, and greeted the new Emperor, trust
ing that the ties that bound the two nations
would never be dissolved. The Chamber
