THE ROMAN BANK SCANDAL.
The Chamber Orders an Investigation of
Those Supposed to Be Connected
With the Crooked Transaction.

ROME, February 3.-The pressure
among the Deputies for a Parliamen
tary inquiry into the bank scandals wa!
increased to-day by confirmation o.
the report that Signor Tanlongo, the
imprisoned Governor of the Bank Of
Rome, had made statement implica
ting Premier Giolitti and ex-PremieI
Crlspi.
The latter stated that Crispi had not
handled one Ira of the Bank Of Rome,
that nobody in office in the days OF his
Premiership as far as he knew had an
official or personal relation with the
bank, and that he had never seen or
heard anything to indicate that his
predecessor or his successor had re-
ceived any money from the bank for
political or private purposes.
We're he not confined to his bed,
CriSpi wrote, he would appear before
the Chamber to prove the falseness Of
Tanlongo's statement. As soon as he
recovered he would appear to defend
himself.
Signor Colajanni spoke at length con-
corning the necessity Of appointing a
parliamentary commission TO inquire
into the scandal. His speech was de-
livered amid increasing confusion,
which suddenly swelled to an uproar,
when, in conclusion, he shouted def
aDtly:
1.-The National Bank has paid annu-
ally large sum Of money to the secret
service fund. All have suspected this
and many Of us know it,"
"a more utterly false statement could
not be made in this house." exclaimed
Premier Giolitti, who was on his feet to
reply before Colajanni could seat him
self.
The Premier then addressed himself
to the deputies who, he said, were in
tent upon forcing a parliamentary In
quiry. 1t was for the Chamber to de-
eide whether or not Deputy Zerbi, who
is charged with having received large
subsidies from the Bank Of Rome,
should be delivered up to the criminal
law az once, but he and his colleagues
In the ministry would resist to the last
every attempt to authorize an investi-
CATION by a commission Of deputies.
After short but stormy debate the
Chamber decided to authorize the pros
ecution Of Deputy Zerb.
A Palermo daily says that the mur-
der of Signor NotarbartoIo on a railway
train, near Aeta villa, yesterday was
part Of plot to suppress evidence con-
cerning the bank scandal.
Notar rbartOlo was long director Of the
Bank Of Sicily, and as such got posses
sion OF many documents discriminating
persons Of high influence. These docu
ments, says the paper, were in his
satchel when he was killed but are now
missing.
The police think that the murder was
done by bandits or by a man discharged |
from Signor NotarbartolO's service.

THE zANTE EARTHoUAKE.
The Most Destructive Visitation OF Modern
Times-Awful OesolaJion.

The Most Destructive Visitation OF Modern
Times-Awful Oesolation.
ATHENS, February at is an undis-
puted fact that the earthquakes that
have occurred during the past two or
three days at Zante baYe been the worst
that have done damage on that Island
In modern times and no one can tell
when the disturbances will cease.
The shocks experienced last night
did enormous damage; in fact, the
whole island was devastated. To add
TO the terror Of the inhabitants most
terrific thunderstorm prevailed at the
time of the shocks. Rain fell In tor
rents, and was accompanied by large
hail stones. The binding hashes Of
lightning, the roaring thunder and the
rumbling beneath the surface Of the
swaying earth caused many persons to
believe the end of all things had come.
The people were panic stricken, and
so great was the fear inspired that
many persons entirely lost their reason
and are now hopelessly crazed. A most
unfortunate feature of the situation IS
the fact that last night shocks de-
stroyed the bread ovens in the city Of
Zante, rendering it impossible for the
greater portion Of the inhabitants to
procure that most necessary article Of
food.
The Minister Of the Interior has ar
rived at Zante aud will do everything
in his power TO relieve the distress.
King George will start for Zante on
Sunday. A British war ship and thr ee
vessels belonging to the Greek navy ar
rived at the island to-day with supplies
Il tents, provisions and medicines.

that the revolution was a complete sur

The above information was received
from an official of the State Department
whO-explained its significance by saying
il showed cOnclusively that the repre-
sentatives had not started the revolu-
tianary movement. and in fact, as the
papers show, were not on the ground
until after it was under full headway.

SSRINgFIELD, MASS, February g.
Walhce w. Holmes was hanged at 1925
A. NJ.
The CINE for which Holmes paid the
penalty MS been regarded as peculiarly
atrocious. On election day, in Novem-
Der, 1891, th\ body of his wife, who had
been missing Syo months, was found IN
the cellar OF hisbouse, on lonely road
near the outskihs OF Chlcopee. Ac-
cording to the testimony Of his nine
year-old son, Harry, KoImes became in
censed at his wife early cne morning
over some trivial matter. Ia a rage he
dragged her out Of bed and kicked and
beat her until she became un-
conscious. Believing her 20 be
dead. he dragged the body 70
the cellar and buried it in a
shallow grave. At the post mortem
examination OF the body sand was dis
covered in the lungs, indicating, the
surgeons said, that she had been buried
slive. When the neighbOrs made in
Iquiries as TO what had become of his
wife, Holmes told them that she had
eloped with q former admirer, but as
pc had often made threats against her
dife, the neighbors became suspicious.
llnd on instituting a search found the
'4Ody buried In the cellar. He was ar
sested, and in the following juno tried
!, ind convicted. The case was appealed
, the Supreme Court, which sustained
le finding OF the lower court. The
'P.ath sentence was pronounced October
Since then Holmes has admitted his
o. lit. he was born at st. Albans, YER
IS ut. and served in the Fifth Vermont
ne .antry In the war.

himself had ever equalled. c. T. knisely,

How he Beat johnson.
Zimmerman remained well to the rear
TO the final lap and then followed John

Not until he reached the turn, however,
did he lean over his machine and exert
himself He was then a length behind
the Minneapolis man. He passed John

BLAND LAYS DOWN THE LAW.
liter Annihi!ation Predicted for an Anti.
Silver Party.

Utter Annihi!ation Predicted for an Anti.
silver Party.
The debate was not very interesting I'M
til Bland got up. The arguments in favor OF
the anti-silver rosition were gone ov,r
again, but very briefly, Rayner, who spoke
on that side the longest, only holding the
floor for twenty-five inutes. Both sides
held that tn Democra tic platform was the
basis Of their stand. and Bland charged
the other side with abandoning the plat
form. He reiterated the allegation that
the present depression was a conspiracy to
secure the repeal of the Sherman law, the
only law that recognized silver in this
country. He had no doubt of the conspir-
acy. If the demands Of the silver men
were not complied with there would be
real panic.
Coin silver at the rae of 10 to l, said he.
If Europe refused to accept that ratio the
effect would be to divert from Europe all
the trade ofevery silver-producing country
in the world. Could England, he asked.
withstand this withdrawal of trader Ger
tainly not. 1t was biInetallism that made
the manufacturers OF England so strong
and prosperous. The United States was
the best market in the world for the
manufactured products of Europe; and
that market Europe could not have unless
it recognized and accepted silver at the
same value a. the United States did.
And yet" he said with vehemence,
eve are asked here To-Day to lay the bloody
hand OF confscation on millions of our
population in order to satisfy the greed of
England. VIII congress do it, VIII you
trample down the interests of your own
people and destroy the value of one of the

greed of Wall street-a mere agent of
Lombard street, 1t cln not, it shall not
be done. Speaking for the great mass of
the people OF Mississippi Valley and of the
people west q it, | say you shall not do It.
And anybody or any party that under
takes to do it, will in Gods name be
trampled, rs it ought to be, in the dust
Of condemnation now and in the future.
Il speak as a Democrat, but yet as an
American above Democracy. We do not
intend that any party shall survive, if we
can help it, that VIII lay its confiscating
hand on America in the interest Of Eng
