THE CRISIS IN ITALY.
New Ministry Unlikely to Solve the
Army Problem.

ROME, May 25.-Gioletti, the new prime
minister, presented his programme to the
chamber today. He stated the reforms
that he expected in all branches
of the public service, including the
army. Altogether the sum for military
purposes will not exceed 246, OOO, 900 lire,
equivalent to $S,S7S,0O0 The extra ex-
penditures of manufacturing rifles will
be met by gradual sale during the next
three years of the Bourbon silver lying in
the treasury. Giolettl dilated on the ne
cessity of private thrift. The business of
the government was to remove or lessen
the obstacles to private enterprise by
furnishing facilities of circulating
currency by improving and organizing the
country's credit, and also by doing away
with the obstacles to international trade,
artificially created through an exagger-
ated tendency towards protection.
Both the right and the extreme left in
the chamber have assumed q hostile atti-
tude toward the new government, and the
issue of tOmorrow's debate on the pro-
gramme is very uncertain, and much ex-
element prevails tonight.

NEW WESTMINSTER. May 25.-fSpecial.l-
A deplorable accident, resulting IN the loss
of two lives, occurred near bumpers
pass about II O'Clock this morning. The
steamer r. p Rithet. while on her way to
New Westminster, was signaled Off Village
bay to take some way passengers aboard.
The engines were stopped to allow the
small boat to come alongside, but as the
steamer was well under way orders were
given to go astern to check her. There
was fresh breeze blowing, with rough
sea and the steamer turned around with
the wind.
The small boat containing four persons,
Mr.. and Mrs. Pope, their 18-month-old
child and Adolph Deacon, of Mayne ISL
and, was swept under the wheel and
broken up and its occupants thrown into
the water. The life buoy was Immediately
thrown out and caught by young Deacon,
who was quickly pulled on board. The
three others were carried under the
steamer and reappeared amidships on the
opposite side. Mr.. Pope was injured on
the head and shoulders by the paddles, but
caught the lifebelt which was thrown over
his head and succeeded in keeping him
self afioat until rescued by the ships boat.
Mrs. Pope, who had been sitting in the
stern of the rowboat, was probably rem
dered almost totally unconscious by the
injuries received from the wheel, as,
although life preserver and other things
were thrown to her on her temperance,
she made 10 effort to catch them.
Eye witnesses differ slightly as to the
facts, one stating that when seen by him
her one hand and foot were free and
slight movement noticed, while her face
and head were entangled and covered up
iii her dress. The other says she was
floating face downward and perfectly
quiet. A boat was Immediately lowered.
Mr.. Pope picked up, and close search
made for the bodies of the unfortunate
mother and child, but without success.
After about an hour the rescued were
landed at Village bay and the steamer pro-
ceeded on her way. No blame can be at
tributed to the captain or other employees
of the steamer, as the accident was una
voidable on their part. and no efforts were
spared to rescue the unfortunates. The
captain shouted to the oarsmen to stop
pulling. but his advice was either unheard
or unheeded. Mrs. Pope was a daughter
OF Mr.. Deacon, proprietor of the summer
hotel on Mayne island and was well
known and highly respected in New West
minister, where she has resided for some
time.

Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, the great organ

will he has worked his way up so as to sell

last legislature, when Governor Ferry,
owing to the precarious state of his health,
was compelled to retire from that labOrious
Office, and was succeeded by Lieutenant
Governor Laughton, who, by virtue of his
Office, was president of the state senate.
Wilson was elected to succeed Laughton,
and as a presiding officer and parliament-

mitted by democrat and republican alike.
Prior to the last session Nick Owings,

throttled every measure that cOnhicted

owing to his ability all legislation of this
character miscarried. Wilson, upon as
suming the presidency of the senate, re-
organized the committee and did not ap-
point 0wings to the Craftsmanship of bis
old committee, but placed it in the hands
of more fair-minded man. Consequently

come thoroughly reconciled to the amalga-

company and the Edison General Electric
company, a movement Henry Willard so
