ITALY's CABINET CRISIS.
The Ministry is Regarded as Certain
to BE Defeated.

Signs multiply, says a Rome dispatch
that a cabinet crisis will be on shortly after
the meeting of the chambers on November
%. Not only the attacks of ex-Premiers
Crispi and Rudini, but also the speeches Of
deputies in the provinces. indicate that the
Giolitti ministry is regarded as doomed.
The friends Of Joseph Zanardelli who
has been a politician of cabinet rank for a
generation are making every effort to push
him into power. Zanardelli, while willing
to assume the premiership under ordinary
circumstances, is not eager for the office as
long as the bank scandals remain unset
tied and the financial condition of the gov
ernment threatens bankruptcy.
Crispi Is talking loudly to secure his own
return to power, and his supporters yield
to none in energetic opposition to Giolitti.
but his chances have been greatly damaged
by the suspicion that he was connected with
the bank scandals
The ministers are preparing to fight to the
last ditch. They have drawn an elaborate
scheme for progressive taxation. They eX-
pect this to be popular. as it will propose to
relieve the poor and burden the rich. Prob
ably the scheme will not be debated. as all
the plans of the ministry are likely to be
overthrown at the opening of the session by
the crisis.

THE IRON TRADE.

1t PlOds on With Substantfauv No
Recent Change.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. 2-The Iron
Trade Review says: 1t is becoming plainer
that until new enterprises are undertaken
with something like old-time freedom the
iron trade will plod on in substantially the
condition noted in the past few weeks. One
week may differ from another In the
slightly brighter outlook in a given section
or in a given department of the market
but the sum total of all these occa sionsi
betterments still leaves the trade far from
the desired condition. Beyond the reports
from Pittsburg of still better EMPLOYED mill
capacity there is little change for the pas
week.
The billet market has recovered a trioa
from the low level reached two weeks ago
but for the reason principally that no larger
tonnage Is called for. Finished products do
not share in any additional firmness thsrs
may be In raw steel.
In the past week buyers have been ah,e
on certain structural material contracts. to

which orders are Cancelled and then placed

SUING THE SOUTH FORK CLUB.
The First of the Claims for the Johns.
town, Pa, Disaster.

There was rather unusual display of
judicial ermine to be seen on the bench of
the United States circuit court at Plttsburg
recently. Circuit Judge Acheson and Dis
trict Judge Burlington were reinforced by
the presence of Circuit Judge Dallas of
Philadelphia.
There was much expectancy shown by
the people about the court room regarding
the cases against the South Fork Club,
which was expected to come up. This is
a suit for $4,000 damages brought against
the club who owned the dam at South
Fork. which caused the Johnstown flood.
Mrs. Ann Jenkins Of Youngstown, Ohio,
Is the plaintiff. and asks damages in the
sum named for the loss Of her father, moth
er and brother. and the personal injuries
and consequent shattered health sustained
by herself. This Is the first suit against the
club, and II won by Mrs. Jenkins will open
up regular ,Johnstown flood of litigation.
John McCleave. counsel for the club. said
that ID. T. Watson, who had prepared the
case, was travelling in Europe. and could
not enter an appearance. Messrs. Knox
and Reed. he said, could only appear nomi-
nally, as Mr.. Knox was a director in the
club, and ex-Judge Reed a stockholder. He
said Mr.. Watson expected to sail for home
about December !, and as he was especially
concerned, personally anxious to try the
case. Mr.. McCleave hoped the court would
postpone the case until Mr.. Watson re-
turned.
T. r.. Alcorn said he was associate coun-
sci for the plaintiff, and explained that SEN
ator Wolcott of Canton, Ohio, and ex-
United States Attorney Briasmade of Cleve-
land. the principal counsel. had authorized
him to say they were ready and anxious to
proceed with the case. Mr.. Alcorn argued
forcibly against postponement. He said 1t
was hard to tell when Mr. Watson could
be on hand owing to his ill-health, and that
he did not prepare the case anyhow. He
said there were plenty of good lawyers in
Pittsburg that the defendants could have
secured. He thought the defense was suffi-
ciently well represented to proceed with
the case, and contended that the grounds
for continuance which had been offered
were insufficient.
Judge Acheson asked Mr.. Alcorn il this
was the first appearance of this case on the
docket. and on being informed that it was,
he decided, owing to Mr.. Watsons absence,
to continue the case to the May term Of the
court next year.
1t was the general opinion of disinter-
ested spectators that the South Fork Club
is going to make its fight on the policy Of
delay.

Vigorous as Ever.

Vigorous as Ever.
A London dispatch sent last night says:
The customary preparations are making
for the opening tomorrow of the adjourned
session of parliament. The whips today
sent out their messages, urgently request
ing the attendance of the members, and the
political clubs are thronged for the first
time since the night Of the adjournment
Although nominally the parish councils
and employers liability bills will. be the
only business of the session. they will pro-
vide but a small part of the interesting
matter for debate. Probably an adjourn
ment of the house Of commons will be NOV
ed to Introduce a discussion of the Mata-
belle war and the scandals said to be in
volved in the conduct of the South African
Chartered Company. The question of the
great coal strike will also be raised.
About twenty radical members of the
house of commons met at the National
Liberal Club this afternoon to consider the
behavior of the masters and men in Lam
cashire, Derbyshire and South Wales. They
voted sympathy with the miners, and Chas
Van Sittart Conybeare, member from
Northwest Cornwall, said that he or a col
league would, If necessary, move an ad-
iournment of the house to direct attention
to the need of legislation which will pre-
vent future conspiracies of mine owners
against their men.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gladstone came to town
this evening and drove directly to the
house of Sir Andrew Clark, Mr.. Glad
stones physician, to inquire after his
Downing street. where Mr.. Gladstone re-
ceived Sir William Harcourt, chancellor Of
the eXcheQuer. Mr.. Gladstone apparently
is enjoying unusually good health.

Mcleod an Entrance
Russell Sage, when interviewed on the
reported agreement between the New Eng
land and the Manhattan roads, said:
well, now, / don't want to say anything
about that matter. Quite a lot of people
have been here asking about IT, but there Is

held a meeting and signed the contracts
with Ryan & Mcdonald OF Baltimore.
These contracts call for the completion of
the new road from Brewster's to Leggett's
Point in one year.

convincing manner that he had entered
into no negotiations with the New York
and New England people regarding their
obtaining an entrance into New York city

passengers would from this station be

ROBBED OF MILLIONS.
Timber Belonging to Minnesota
Stolen by Wholesale,

ST. PAUL. Mimi Nov. 2.-The Minnesota
executive pine land investigating commit
tee made some startling discoveries during
its session yesterday. The session was an
executive one, but Chairman Ignatius Dom
nelly made public some of the findings last
evening.
He said: ''The state has been robbed of
millions Of dollars by some of it's most
prominent citizens. Some of the robberies
are of the most surprising character. Logs
have been stolen by wholesale without pre-
text OF title to ownership. We have found
one case where the state of Minnesota was
paid for 6O0,000 feet of lumber and the
quantity actually taken from the tract
measured over 5000, 600 feet. In addition to
this our investigations have forced many
men to pay over large amounts of money
which the state would probably have never
otherwise received"
