ering of Tariffs. :

ROME, June 17.-There is some liklf.
hood that the duty on wheat will be re-
duced. The duty was fixed at a time
when the wheat imports were very
large with a view of producing a large
revenue; hut the abundant crop of last
year entirely stopped importation, and
thus Impoverished the government.
though it enriched farmers. The price
of wheat, however. did not fall with ths
abundant crop, but rose in sympathy
with the wheat markets of the world |
so that wheat and bread are now ex- |
tremely dear in Italy. 1t may be that
the question will not be decided with
out prolonged parliamentary struggle, I
Inc minister of finance said in the
chamber the other day that a modifca-
ton OF the duty would have a serious
consequences. At any rate it was too
dear to estimate what the Italian crop
would be, though it was known that the
crop OF wheat would be poor in the east
and abundant in the west.

most part under the direction of Italian
religious bodies" The cardinal is said
to be willing to cOnsign to their care the

Jurisdiction. The patriarch of Jerusa-

whom are Italians, are represented to
be resorting to all possible means to
counteract the growing influence of Car
dinal Layigerie, but apparently with
little success. The pope has denied the
report that Cardinal Vannutelli will be
made papal secretary of state and that
Cardinal Rampolla will be made prefect
of the propaganda. The receipts of the
propaganda for 1890 were 7,O72,Sll
