VIII Reply in Sharp Note-An En-
couragiuR Statement Concerning the
Country's Finances.
ROME, Nov. 9.-Marquis di Rudini, the
Italian premier, to-day delivered a long
speech at Milan. Part Of his speech was de-
voted to the financial situation of the gov
ernment, and during the course Of his re-
marks he announced that complete eoui-
librium had been established in the budget.
Not only were the estimated receipts fully
equal to the expenditures, but even small
surplus in the receipts might be expected
The governments, he said, would incur no
new debts.
Referring to the recent pilgrim Incident
in Rome, the marquis declared that he was
firmly opposed to abolition OF modification
OF the papal guarantee law. Pilgrims, he
said, might como to Italy with no fear of
molestation.
HER FOREIGN RELATIONS.
Continuing, the marquis stated that
Italy's relations with foreign powers were
friendly, and that she would do her best to
strengthen the peace. The various govern
ments of Europe were inspired with great
prudence and moderation. Italy should
have no fear of the grouping Of friendly
allied powers. Italy had renewed
her adhesion to the triple alliance
in order to guarantee q state Of affairs. flt-
ted Co promote the policy of recuperation.
In conclusion the marquis said: 1--WE
have constantly striven TO dispel the dis
trust that France feels toward Italy. The
recent participation Of the French In the
fetes at Nice upon the occasion Of the un-
yelling In that city of the statue of Cara
baldi, the Italian patriot, was assurance Of a
renewal of the cordiality which has always
been dear to Italians "
THE vATICAN's POSITION DEFINED.
Premier Rudini in the Chamber Of Depu-
ties to-day in speaking Of the vatican said:
I'VE have in our midst the papacy, which
some times assumes threatening attitude,
but its sphere Of action is limited to tho ex-
ercise of spiritual powers not only by law,
which cannot be lightly contravened, but
also by the almost unanimous consent of
those who thought themselves most reli-
gious. The country's ecclesiastical policy
has now become traditional, The honor
and strength Of the kingdom of Italy must
be scrupulously maintained. The deplora-
bic incidents produced by few short sight
ed persons will not make US deviate from
that policy.
WON'T TAMPRR WITH THE CONSTITUTION.
mot for SO slight matter will we raise
questions affecting the constitution of the
kingdom, nor will we tamper with the inn
movable statutory law, the wisdom and ex-
pediency Of which have been proved by
long experience. Italy will not fail in the
respect owing to liberty of conscience and
religious toleraUion. 1t is our boast and
/ profession that pilgrims from the
whole world may be confident
| that the laws will protect them on coming
| TO Rome 70 pay devout homage to the pope
| Strong i'll the present and confident In the
future we fearlessly guarantee the fullest
| liberty in Rome" Premier Rudini's re-
marks concerning the papacy have pro-
duced a bad impression at the vatican, the
programme tending to make the pope only
the first subject of the king. The pope will
| prepare a sharp note in reply.
