IMBRIANT AGAIN.

The Man Who PreCipitated ChSpPS Fall
Aga.a Jumps on the Government.
RoME, April 29-Signor Imbriaui, in
the Chamber of Deputies to-day, speak
ing on the African question, charged Il Q
Italian government with permitting the
slave trade to be carried on openly.
Signor 1mbriani also made the assertion
that thirty.fve young girls, who had
been taken from their former owners ut.
der the pretext of rescuing them from
slavery, had been distributed among
lot OF Italian army officers, serving with
the Italian army in Africa.
The Marquis di Radini, replying for
the Italian government, protested
against such accusations being made
without absolute proof OF their truth
having been first obtained.
Amidst cries OF "it's lie," with
draw" the Minister OF War declared
that ho would not remain in the House
unless the charge was withdrawn.
A prolonged uproar, during which
several violent scenes were witnessed,
followed the announcement OF. the de-
termination Of the Minister Of War.
The President OF the chamber was utter
ly unable TO control the excited Depu:
ties, aud consequently he was compelled
to suspend the sitting.
Signor Inbriani is the same Deputy
who, on March 3..in the House, while
the electrical mandates were being veri-
fed, said that he regretted that some
members had accepted money to defend
certain candidates before the committee
entrusted with the work OF Terifcasion.
A most exciting scene and uproat fol-
lowed, but Signor Imbriana refused to
retract his remarks. On March IL fol-
lowing, Signor Imbriani caused another
and more serious disturbance. He
shouted to Signor Crispi: "You are a
servant Of Austria" To which Crispi
replied: "Servants, no; good frisnds,
yes.n
Signor Imbriani then retorted: "You
ara servants Of Austria"
signor Crispi replied with gross 10.
suit intended for Signor Imbriani. The
latter called upon him to Withdraw his
remark. Crispi refused, saying that
while he held the position OF a Minister
Of the State, he had been forced TO en-
dure the annoyauCes ofSignor Imbriani.
"Bnt now," he added, ~ am no longer
bound TO do 80, as l am only deputy.
In my pocket l have revolver. II
siRnor lmbrisui annoys me, left him
beware"
