kept up with the fashion by indulging
in disgraceful fracas in the chamber

accused Losadajob Crispi Of acting as
ada monk to Austria Crispi indig-
nantly resented the imputation, hurl-
ing the curse of Rome in an intensely
dramatic manner at Saskatchewan.
He also threatened to make a gun play
y If his opponent did not subside with
suddenness. This leads to heconclu-
sion that Imbriani was correct in his
charges. Only an ally Of Austria
