Crisis in the italian Cabinet.

ROME, Feb. 2.-The debate Saturday
afternoon in the chamber of deputies on
the proposed spirits taxes ended in min
isterial crisis. Premier Crispi urged that
the taxes were iniperatively necessary in
order to recoup the national revenues and
prevent Italy from falling again into a
condition of servility to foreign powers,
such as existed in 1874 This phrase gave
rise to an uproar in the chamber, the re-
suit being the rejection of the tax and the
resignation of Crispi.
