that motion favoring parliamentary

peated his argument against precipitat-
ing the immediate discussion of the
bank scandals, and SCR. Calajanni's ipro-
pOsal was rejected. Sgr. Montagna
spoke at length as to the report that
several deputies were to be prosecuted
for dishonest dealing with the banks OF
Rome and Naples. Premier Giloitl re-
piled that no such action was contem-
plated, and the reports were spread
with malicious intent, SCR. A. Mon
Zilli, director of the bureau of indus
try and commerce, who was arrested
Friday afternoon for completely in the
bank scandals, in an interview with a

SCR. Monzilli acknowledged that in
the case Of the Bank of Rome his proph-
ecies had not yet proved true, although
future developments, he said, would
justify them. The persistence of the
reports that SCR. Lacava, minister of
industry and commerce, who managed
the last elections for the government, is
implicated i'll the scandals, has caused
everybody to expect that he will resign
soon, and his resignation, SCR. MonzilIi
said, would be followed by startling
exposures. MonZilli also asserted
that Rattazi, minister of the royal house
hold, some time ago borrowed 1,375,O0O
francs from the Bank of Rome, which
he subsequently repaid. This state
men has been confirmed from several
sources. Sgr Monzillt gave the re-
porter list of ministers and eX-minis-
tiers who had been bribed or subsidized
in various ways by the banks now in
trouble, and earnestly requested that in
case he be arrested the list he published

NOT ENOUGH.

The subcommittee of the pensions com.
mittee of the house has reported bill
amending the pension law of 1890, the
dependent pension act. the two chief
provisions of which are:
That no widow shall receive pension
under the act of 1899 unless married to the
soldier prior to 1870.
That no person shall receive pension
under the act of 1890 unless disabled in the
service from manual labor and i'll receipt of
an income of less than $500 a year.
By what computation the committee
arrived at the conclusion that 1870 was
the point at which to draw the line be-
tween widows penSionable and not is
mysterious. The reason for it is not
apparent on the surface. The only
foundation for widows pension is that
she was wife during the war, sharing
the burdens Of the war and its depriva-
tions. She gave her husband to his
country's service, and for that sacrifice,
and those which resulted, we must look
for the only excuse for her pension.
The woman who married soldier after
he had returned to civil life made no sac
rifice, shared no burdens by reason of
her relation to her husband, and is no
more entitled to pension than are the
thousands of other women who live d
through those days of general privation.
The provision is right in principle, but
1t should go back to the days Of the war.
The next provision should not be linn
tied to the act Of 80; it should be APP
piled to all existing pensions: No man
whose income is that specified should
have any pension whatever. nor should
he ask 1T. The limitation to disability
incurred in the service is unjust. 1t is
obnoxious to the rule obtaining under
the general law which resulted in max
ing easy the getting of pensions by that
class who found in the hospitals relief
from danger or duty, gaining thereby
hospital record, while those sturdier
and better soldiers, who avoided as long
as possible. and generally entirely.
treatment in the hospitals, are left to
the precarious hunt for comrades, Off
GERS OF surgeons to furnish the evidence
that they were sick in camp or other
wise disabled.
If the bill gave pension for present
disability, not the result Of vicious
habits, and precluded claimants having
property or income sufficient for sup
port, it would more nearly approach the
true basis of any pension legislation.

Liable to the penalties inflicted
upon perjurers. The vote was
opposed by the rOyalist senators, who
believed that it was aimed at Deputy
Delahaye on account of his refusal to
answer several questions put to him by
Nj. FranqueVille. The press laws COM
mittee in the chamber of deputies to-
day approved the amendments made
by the senate to the bills providing
for punishment of OtfenSeS against
foreign rules and their diplomatic rep
resentatives, and of Indictment to revolt
against the existing order. The session
of the parliamentary commission of in

discussion of the proper time
for making final report. Dep

a reporter general forthwith, and conse-
quently the termination of the commits

advocated the continuation of the COM
missions full activity. Deputy Bar
thou replied thai, as the law
had undertaken to probe the scan
dial, the commission should regard
its further work as supertluOus, and its
final statement should be delivered to
the chamber CT deputies. The state
ment had been made in the chamber
that more than 100 deputies were
involved in the scandal. This
sweeping charge imposed the duty of
investigation upon the judicial au-
thorites, with whose prerogatiyes
the commission ought not to interfere
Deputy Sarien's motion for the immedi-
ate appointment of a reporter general
was then voted down by fifteen deputies
against ten. Deputy Gerville-ROache,

THE SILVER PROBLEM
To Be the First Thought Of Mr..
Cleveland in Cabinet
Selections.
His Great Desire to Stop the Coin
age OF the Present Silver
Dollar.

ENEw YORK, Jan. 3O.-The Tribune
prints the following: "a prominent
Democrat OF this state, who has a ma
tional reputation, had chat with Presi-
dent-elect Cleveland yesterday in this
city, in the course of which Mr.. Cleye
land told him frankly what he is now
doing and what his policy would be in
respect to federal appointments.
MIR. Cleveland" said this Democrat,
sis thinking now more about the repeal
of the Sherman silver act and of the set
tlement of the silver problem generally
than he is of cabinet appoint
ments. But the cabinet appoint
ments, as we'll as all other fed
eral appointments, will be largely
governed by Mr.. Cleveland's evident
desire to stop the coinage of the present
dishonest silver dollar. Mr.. Cleveland
regards the silver issue as the paramount
one in politics, superior even to the tar
if. The settlement of the governments
relation to silver, therefore, will have
the precedence to the settlement of
the tariff issue. The Sherman act, in
his opinion, is peril to the country,
and must be repealed before anything
else can be done With safety. Feeling
do hfCIly do IlG tOCO dDOub lllt IldLlSI,
Mr.. Cleveland cannot but observe with
establishment the conduct OF certain
Democratic congressman, who. after
a visit to him for the purpose of
pushing the appointment of certain
friends of theirs to high federal Offices,
return to Washington and do their ut
most not only to prevent the repeal of
the Sherman silver act, but even work
hard to pass free coinage act. These
gentlemen will learn before another
year has passed that Mr.. Cleveland
does not intend 10 put in high
government positions men who Will at
tempt to defeat his policy in respect to
silver; and that he has observed the ac-
ton of such Democratic congressman
at Washington, who pretending to be
his friends, steadily favor in committees
and on the floor of the senate and house
of representatives, the free coinage of
silver.
"What cabinet appointments has Mr..
Cleveland thus far decided upOn?"
asked the Tribune reporter.
''Only two; John q. Carlisle, of Ken
lucky, for secretary of the treasury,and
Daniel s. Lamont, of New York, for
secretary of war. Both of these appoin t.
ments are in the line of Mr.. Cleve-
lands policy of unrelenting hostility
