Minister presented to the Chamber OF Depn'ies
today the programme OF the new Mlnls'rS' bolh
the Right and tie Extreme Left in the Chamoer
If IDENTITIES have assumed a decidedly hostile AZ
ttude toward the Government. Deputy Ercoie
has already prepared a motion of censure, which
will he supported by the members of the Kgho
and the followers of Sgnor Nicotcra the Minister
Of the Interior in the late Cabinet. Much en-
citcmcnt preyails in the lObbies over the situa'
ton. and the air is full Of startling rumors. Inc
Issue of to-morrows debate on the programme
If the Cabinet is considered to be uncertain, an'
there is much speculation regarding the propaoic
outcome of the strong opposition when Is "einS
manifested by the opponents of the government
The action which the Chamber Will take i"
the matter is regarded momentous ior IL inc
vote Is adverse to the Government it will result
either in the return of the Rudini CABINET 10
power. or the dissolution of Parliament
In presenting the Cabinets programme, Slgnor
Giolitti said that, with the purpose OF restorihS
ordcr in the finances of the country ana OF aVoiu-
inc the imposition of fresh burdens on the people,
reforms would be effected in all pranches ol 'i'e
nubIic service including the army. The credits
for
necessities for the defence of the country The
effective ordinary military expenditures would 20
reduced 70 $50. 900 900 lire. Altogether the sums
for military purposes would not exceed 246,OOo,-
900 lire. The extra expenditure arising from the
manufacture of rifles would be met by the grad
nal sale Of the Bourbon silver lying in the Treas
urv. These sales would extend over period of
three years.
Signor Giolitti diated upon the necessity of
private thrift Economy. with enterprise, ne
said, would enable the country's prosperity no re-
vive. The business of the Government. he added,
was to remove or lessen the obstacles TO private
enterprise, by furnishing the facilities OF cir
culating currency, by improving and organizing
the country's credit and, above all bv doing away
with the obstacles TO international trade artl-
fcislly created through the exaggerated tendency
toward protection, which Italy ought 10 over
come by tariffs less stringent than those OF nelgh
boring countries o..,....
Touching upon foreign questions, Signor Gioltti
said that 1taly's alliances were made solely WIN
the view to maintaining peace. lie deemed that
cordial friendship with all the Powers was OF
the most vital importance. In conclusion ne
asked the House to give the budget precedence
over everything else, as In lew weeks the
current financial year would end.
In regard to he dissolution Of the Rome Parlia-
ment mentioned in the above dispatch as possible
consequence OF the deldt OF tne bloHUA NaDihc'' ~
can be said that 1t foreseea in many Italian
papers They asserted that the new Premier, before
accepting from the King the task OF forming
Ministry, had obtained from him carte blanche lor
dissolving the Chambers In case the latter should
vote in opposition to the Cabinet II true that this
statement wac contradiced by the "Fantua and some
other iournals but il has nevertheless gained credence
in many political circles Of the Peninsula AT any
rate the opposition TO the Ministry suddenly displayed
ON the first sitting Of the Chambers not expected
SO soon for in caucuses held separately By the mem
bels of the Right and the Extreme Left 1T had been
agreed, according to the Tnbnnd. 10 deler acuoh
until the new Ministers should have shown whether
or not they could carry out their programme.
This waiting policy had been especially agreed upon
at the meeting held at the house OF the ex-Premer'
Narouis di RudInl BY the Deputies of the Right. II
may be that those Deputies and those OF the Extreme
Left on hearing the declarations OF Slgnor Giontu'
have understood that they could Immediately form .er
opinion about his policy, since he merely repeated te
ideas expressed By him in his speech OF February IL
1850 I'm the Chamber. and in his address AT Caiaeho
IN September Of the same year. lie declared ueh
at Is not possible today 10 change our system vi o'
