AN OPTION SECURED
On the Local U. S. Glass FaotOries-rhe
Committee Visits PitJsburg.

Messrs. P. B. Dobbins, c. B. Hart,
and A. 7. Young, composing the com-
mittee appointed at recent meeting
of citizens, to confer with President
Ralph Bagaley, OF the United States
Glass Company, for the purpose OF Sc
curing an option on the two local tac-
toriesFof that company, left yesterday
morning for Pittsburg. The committee
met Mr.. Bagaley, secured the option,
and returned last night.
The terms upon which the United
States Company agreed 70 dispose Of its
property in Wheeling, were published
in the REGISTER Of Tuesday. The price
placed upon the two plants was gerer-
ally regarded as unreasonable. Pre-
vious to their personal interview with
Mr.. Baggaley, the gentlemen OF the
committe secured all the information
obtainable from local sources, pertain
ing to the value of tue plants at the
time OF their purchase by the U. ).
Company, and their actual value at this
time. With this data they were enabled
TO fix what they regarded as
reasonable valuation upon the
two plants, and they were
also prepared TO meet the arguments OF
the u. S. officials. Although, for obvi-
Gus reasons, the result of the visit OF
the Committee will not be made public
at this time, it is certain they accom-
plished the two-fold purpose for which
it was appointed, by securing an option
for reasonable length of time, and up
on a reasonable valuation OF the plant
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Bag
alley stated. in his letter to Mr.. Hart,
shat his company could not deliver pos
session of the factories before April lst.
I his was not at all satisfactory, rs one
of the objects of the citizens who be-
came interested in the project, was to
afford immediate employment to tn
glass workers in this city who are now
idle because of the suspension OF work
in factories "H" and So" The COM
mittee, therefore, through its negotia-
tions with President Bagaley,
succeeded in securing an option which
will give possession OF tide plant as
soon as its terms are agreed to, and
the deal consunated.
Whether the stockholders In the com
pany organized at the last meeting at
the Chamber of Commerce will regard
the terms of the United States Com
pany as fair is matter for conjecture.
In any event. in vieW OF the general in
tarest in the project, the preservation
of the glass industry in Wheeling will
be accomplished beyond doubt.

CABINET CRISIS.
THE ITALIAN MINISTRY RESIGNS AMID
GREAT EXCITEMENT.
Loud DenunciationS Passed in the ChaRbers-The
King COufers With Party Leaders and Will
Propose a New Cabinet at Once.

ROME, November 24.-At cabinet
council held at $50 this morning the
ministry decided to resign.
The Chamber of Deputies was
thronged when it opened to-day, and
Signor Cavelotti caused lively scene
when the minutes of yesterdays meet
ing were read. The member complained
that the sitting was closed when the
Extreme Left was about to submit a
motion. The President commenced an
explanation Of this incident amid great
excitement, the Extreme Left members
iu the meantime denouncing the min
ister.
The Minister OF Finance, Signor
Grimaldi, warmly defended himself
against the attacks of the Extreme
Left, declaring that he was an honest
man and equally as solicitous OF public
morals as his opponents. Signor Grim
aldi was loudly appauded. Premier
Gioletta, before making
THE MINISTERIAL DECLARATION
declared that he wished to state in his
own name and in the names of his col
leagues that they wished TO resume their
seats in the Chamber of Deputies 10 or
der to have full liberty of speech.
The remarks Of the Premier caused
much excitement Ia the Chamber,
especially among the msmberS OF the
IL . ha Mea hoA opr
what subsided Premier GiOlitti pro-
ceeded TO announce the resignation Of
the cabinet, adding that the King had re-
served his decision upon this important
matter, and that the ministers would,
in the meantime, remain in office.
After the despatch of current busi-
ness, a motion to adjourn was made.
The extreme left members, especially
SignOr Imbriani, strongly denounced
Premier GiOltti, who warmly retorted,
''You have fallen in the mud"
To THIS REMARK
Premir Giolotti rejOined: "Whatever
efforts you may make, you will not even
succeed in spIashlng mud on my boots. "
This caused renewed excitement in
the chamber, during which some very
hot words were heard from the extreme
left and equally warm replies from the
supporters OF the government.
When order had been restored the
President OF the chamber called for a
vote upon the motion to adjourn which
was unanimously approved with the ex-
ception of the leftists. The sitting
closed amid much. uproar and soon
after, it was reported that the King is
taking steps to consult the presidents
OF the chambers and the leaders OF the
different parties in regard to the forma-
tion of new cabinet.

More Cronln susnects.

CHICAGO, November 24.-lt Is not
improbable that another arrest in con-
nection with the Cronin murder may be
made very soon. Officers under direc-
tion of the States Attorneys Office are
investigating certain facts concerning
Andrew Foy, who was a member of
Camp 20, aud for violent denunciators
of the British spy, who was alleged to
be in Chicago about the time that DR..
Cronin was killed. Foy has been under
suspicion OF knowing more or less
about the murder ever since the part
played by Camp 20 came to light, but
the evidence connecting him with events
that seemed part Of the conspiracy
was until lately of such character
that the officials did not feel justified in
causing his arrest. Within the last few
days statements haue been brought to
the States Attorneys Office accusing
Foy in so specific manner that his ap-
prshension is seriously considered by
the authorities.

cratic party. Such action on the part
OF the committee would result IN .
minority report being
PRESENTED To THE HOUSE.
1t seems probable, however, that the
income tar provision will not be Of that
sweeping character that was at first
contemplated. The present plans are
20 impose tax on legacies. on the In
comes OF large corporations, on the in
comes Of real estate and other
property in this country owned or con-
troued by aliens, as we'll as to require
the stamping OF certain documents and
Special license OF certain classes OF
business. The members freely admit
to-day that the details OF the income
tax provision will be last agreed upon.
As the work Of the committee neArs
close the pressure Of the various in-
dustries likely TO be affected, for some
Information OF the character Of the
measure, or for s hearing Ia protest
against the contemplated legislation,
becomes more and more intense. Most
OF them, however, are unsuccessful In
getting the ear OF Chairman Wilson or
any other members Of the committees
as the sessions are =
HELD BEHIND CLOSED DOORS,
and the officers OF the committe are In
structed TO permit no cards TO be hand
ed in. Considerable feeling was to-day
engendered among some Of the gentle
men desiring to be heard by the facility
with which Isador Strauss aud his
brother and partner In business from
New York, succeeded in entering
the sacred presence OF the
committee. The subcommittee
on internal revenue is still At work
apart from the other members and will
probably conclude its labor some time
tomorrow night. No changes OF Inn
portance are contemplated 10 the In
ternal revenue tax on tobacco or beer,
though IL is probable there will be .
slight increase Of the whisky tax.

The President aud secretary Gresham
Give out No Further Information on
hawaiian Affairs.
WASHINGTON, d. c., November "a
II. President Cleveland is disturbed
over the Hawaiian situation he did not
show it to-day. At the close Of long
Cabinet meeting Secretary Lamont re-
mained with him for some time. Then
Secretary Gresham called and remained
a short time. After his departure, the
President and Mrs. Cleveland came
down stairs and entered a carriage TO
enjoy drive ia the crisp air.
There has been general belief that
the President would discuss the Ha-
waiian question In his message, and
more interest than ever has been mani
Tested On the documeutO on that account
No news can be expected from Hawaii
until after the message is sent 20 Con-

the matter the President would neceS-
sarily refer 10 the instructions
that had been given Minister Will
lis. and inform Congress Of what
he expected had taken place 10 the ISL
ands I'M view Of the instructions, but it
was stated al the White House tnat this
matter can easily be avoided by an allu-
sion TO the Hawaiian affair ia the regu
lar message with the statement that 10
will be. treated In a special message
when expected information has been re-
ceiyed.
The impression in the minds OF those
about the State department who have
not actual information as 70 the depart
meut's secrets, is deepening into con-
viction that some day during the past
week was the time agreed upon FOR the
execution Of the Instructions Minister
Willis carried TO Honolulu with him.

New YORK, November 24.-While the
audience in the Academy Of Music
waited until nearly quarter to nine

on the first act of "In Old Kentucky"
Miss Bettina Glrard, who plays the
leading woman's part in the piece, lay
al most at deaths door in her room in
the Gedney house, from an overdose Of
chloral.
During this wait at the theatre Miss
Laura Burt was hurriedly dressing to
replace Miss Girard who, according to
a rumor which quickly spread to up
town theatrical resorts, had attempted
suicide. The actress herself subse-
ouently admitted having taken the
drug, but while she did not say she in
tended to end her life she expressed re-
gret that doctor had been sent for,
giving as the cause of her WEAKNESS of
this world her latest matrimonial ven-
ture with actor II. j. Wolfe.

WAsH1NGroN, ID. c., November "a
Another tariff humbug is exposed in a
report Just received at the State De-
partment from Mr.. Jas. B. fancy,
United States Consul 70 Belfast, Ireland.
During the tariff hearings before the
WAYS aud Means Committee representa-
lives Of all the large American carpet
manufacturers appeared aud soIemnly
assured tbe committee that the present
rate OF protection to American carpets
must be maintained or their business
would be ruined. They said that if the
duties we're reduced the American car
pet manufacturers would lose the home
market because cheaper foreign
CARPETS WOULD COME IN.
Now Consul Taoey informs the State
Department that American carpets are
being imported in large quantities into
Belfast and other parts Of Great Britain
and are being sold at considerably
lower rates than as good a quality OF
British made carpets. To such an eH-
tent has this importation and sale OF
American carpets gone, Consul Taney
IS, that the English and Scotch man
ufacturers have become alarmed at IT,,
and have taken measure TO meet the
American competition.
Already the prices Of British made
carpets, Of the finer grades, have been
reduced to prices equal to or below
those at which the
AMERICAN GOODS ARE SOLD.
Moreover the Consul has learned shat
the English and Scotch manufacturers
have begun to make a special grade or
what are called Administer carpets In
the hope Of shutting out the American
goods FROM their markets altogether.
This furnishes very curious commen-
tary on the assertions Of American car
pet manufacturers that they need Nc
Kinley protection in order TO do busi-
ness at profit

not have been taken unless the 10 per

this winter were good.
