ITALY,S PARLIAMENT.

King Humbert Opens 1t With a Telling
Speech.
ROME, Nov. 25.-The italian parliament
was opened today by Humbert. In his
speech the king alluded to the smallness ol
the deficit in the budget and said the gov.
ernment's wise and equitab bic policy assured
tranquility to Italy, and guaranteed peace,
which, thanks to the concert OF the great
powers, appears to be assured to Europe.
This utterance Was greeted with great ap-
plause. Continuing the king said the ques.
tions which might disturb tue peace had
not yet all been settled, and it was neces-
sary, therefore, without undue demand
upon the budget, to continue to provide
military and naval protection to Italian
unity and independence. He expressed the
hope that the armament which all the
powers were preparing would not be used
Italy. he said. would lay down her arms in
Africa when an international agreement
should have been reached guaranteeing to
her the very considerable possessions she
now had in that continent and recognised
the wide sphere OF her influence. Hehoped
that he would be enabled to promote
humanity in regard to that which had been
outraged by much barbarity. In conclu.
sion King Humbert said: II shall always
pursue the work OF civilization from which
sll our advantages arise" The king was
cheered on his way to and
from parliament.
