The Country in Danger Because of Enormous
Expenditures for Armaments.
ROME, Feb. 5.-Signor Cavalotti, a MEM
ber of the Extreme Left, led a renewed at
tack, to-day, on the governments foreign
policy. During the debate in the Chamber
of Deputies on the address in reply to the
speech from the throne, he accused the gov
ernment of seeking to maintain peace by
means of formidable ornaments instead of
by promoting friendship among the ma
tions Crispi replied: mo one desires
peace more than we. For three years past
none have toiled more than we to attain
that object. We have not raised any ques-
ton calculated to jeopardize peace, con-
fining our efforts to defense when attacked.
For our own part, we should like to disarm.
But we cannot disarm when, throughout
Europe, ornaments are being pushed for
ward with redoubied activity, and when
fresh fortresses are being erected along the
line of our own frontiers. Italy cannot.

Although the house applauded the Pre-

condition of the country arising from the
financial burdens due to ornaments.
Sig. Perazzi's budget. which discloses an
increased deficit, has dispelled the illusions
of the most sanguine of the governments

of Sig. Perazzi to bring about his promised

SEVENTEEN MEN DROWNED.
Log. .Haulers and Their Teams Break Through
the Ice and Men and Horses Perish.

ALBANY. N. Y, Feb. 5.-News has been
received here of a dreadful accident at
Pine lake, Fulton county. The reports
are indefinite but as far as can be learned
the disaster resulted in the drowning of
seventeen men. The victims were driving
teams, engaged in hauling logs across the
ice, when the ice broke and the men and
horses were all lost.
A dispatch from Canajoharie says that
the following information has been received
there, regarding the accident: Twenty
four teams were engaged in drawing logs
across the Ice, regarding the safety of
which no fears had been felt. 1t gave way,
however after seven drivers and teams
reached the shore, and the remaining driv-
ers and horses broke through the ice and

turned to the House Before the 10th.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The House COM
mittee on ways and means have not gone
over more than one-third of the Senate
substitute to the Mills tariff bill, and the
reading so far has been formal and not for
the purpose of submission of amendments.
At the present rate of consideration the
bill will not be formally laid before the
committee till the latter part of the week,
and then the question of amendments will
come up, and will consume several days. In
the opinion of the majority members the
work to-day goes to confirm the prediction
made to the Journal correspondent
by Mr.. Bynum, on Sunday, that the
l bill may not be, be reported to the House ,s.s
given by Democratic members of the COM
mittee that they will move 70 strike ont
the clause making alcohol for the arts free
from taxation, and to strike out, also, the
sugar-bOunty clause. The party lines will
undoubtedly be drawn in the committee,
and amendments made by Democrats will
be adopted while those made by Repub-
Hcans will be rejected. While there is n
strong feeling in the House in favor of
tariff revision, the three fao,ions-the Re-
publicans forming one. and the Randall
and Mills Democrats the others-say that
any kind of compromise is altogether out
of the question. IF the bill could come up
for consideration, a union of the Repub-
icans and the free-tobacco Democrats
could be formed. by which. at least, the in
ternal revenue features of the Senate bill
would be passed. The measure, when it
comes to the House, however, will be in
charge of Chairman Mills, and since he is
opposed to the reduction of any of the in
ternal taxes until there is a clear sweep of
the custom duties, he will not suffer con-
sideration as long as there is a possibility
of fusion which will tend toward the
adoption of the internal-revenue features

The Commission Takes Up the American End
of Its Tiresome Investigation.
LONDON. Feb. 5.-At the opening of to-
days session of the Parnell commission
Attorney-general Webster said he had
finished with the Irish portion of the
Times case, and would now take
up the American part. A witness
named Beach then testified. He said he
joined the Fenians in 1866. and was ap-
pointed military organizer. After the
failure of the invasion of Canada by the
Fenians he joined society known as the
''B. Co." the object of which was to provide
money to carry on the Irish agitation and
to ship arms to Ireland. The witness said
he remembered the visit of Messrs. Dillon
and Parnell to America, in 1880. The meet
ings held during their stay in the United
States were organized exclusively by
the United Brotherhood. or Clan-na-
Gael. The witness attended several
meetings at which Messrs. Dill
lon and Parneu were present. Mr.. Parnell
attended the demonstration in Chicago, at
which bodies of the Clan-na-Gael and the
Hibernian Rifle Guards were under arms
Beach here produced a copy of the consti-
tuition of the B. c.. or Clan-na-GaeL This
provided for concerted action with the Irish
Brotherhood and kindred societies to bring
about combination of the Irish revolu-
tionary movements in all parts of the world
to act decisively against England. The
witness said that in 1878, Dewey and Millen
were sent as delegates to ireland. receiving
$4,000 from the diminishing fund, and
a further sum which does not appear in the
oficial lists.
Attorney General Webster read Devoy's
official report, in which he urges that be-
fore any large quantity of arms --as sent to
Ireland, three delegates should ,e sent to
prepare Irishmen to use them.
Beach further testified that Egan told
him that Mr.: Parnell desired to join the
connection with the organization Mould

he was not allowed to join. Beach saidthat

Legal Quarrel Among Brewery Men.

DETROIT, Mich, Feb 5.-Frank Schwartz,
a dealer in brewers supplies at New York
city, was arrested this morning on q capias
sworn out by. Paul Weidner, a dealer in
brewers supplies of this city. The capias
is the initial step in damage suit. Weld
ner asserts that in April, 1888, Schwartz
told brewer f. w. Boight that he (Weidner)
was soliciting trade for Rochester brew
cry. Soon afterwards Boight, relying on
Schwartz's statement, brought the matter
before the Detroit Brewers Association,
and advised the members to withdraw their
trade from Weidner, ON account of the rep
resentations of Schwartz. The consequence
was, Weidner says, that his trade with De-
troit brewers, which heretofore was 800, 900
year, has fallen to 100000.

MINOR MATTERS.
A Long and Fruitlcss Conference on Spring
er's Territorial Bill.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The conference
committee on the territorial bills held a
long meeting this morning and will hold
another tomorrow. Nothing was done to-
day, but there seems to be an impression
that an agreement will be reached without
much difficulty. Mr.. Platt, the chairman
of the Senate committee, said he did not
know, of course, what would be done. but
it would not surprise him if the House
backed down on the New Mexico PROPOSE
ton. Mr.. Springer would not say that the
House would not back down, but he said
he would ask and receive instructions
on the subject before any final action was
taken. Mr. Baker. of New York, another
member of the committee. expressed the
opinion that New Mexico would be dropped
out of the bill. South Dakota admitted at
once; enabling acts passed for Montana and
Washington, and North Dakota kept as o
Territory till after the next census.
