AN ITALIAN REPUBLIC.
Talk of Establishing One With Rome
rs u District of COlum hin

Harold Frederic, the London correspon-
dent of the New York Times cables to that
paper as follows: Some extremely grave
rumors about Italian affairs are finding
their way to London this week. and wear a
peculiarly alarmist color. Today they hint
at nothing short of revolution. 1t is said
that the king. who until recently enjoyed
an undoubted personal popularity, has now
become, through unfit friendship, hatefully
mixed up in the public mind with the bank
ing scandals, and that the secret societies,
which fell off in membership to almost in
significance after his visit to the Naples
cholera hospitals nine years ago, have
swollen again during the past few months
to far greater proportions than ever before
The crash of the Credit Mobilier Bank
under best possible conditions, must break
a number of little banks and close a lot of
industrial enterprises all over Italy, and
add to the number of angry mutinous peo-
pie who are willing to help smash every
thing. No one seems to have informa ton
either of disaffection in the army or that
secret societies have material o. organiZa-
ton for an uprising. This is important. but
not necessarily vital, as Spain showed in
lS6S. What gives the outlook a particular
ly disturbing and puzzling aspect is the be-
lief that Cardinal RampOlla and his domi-
nant group of Cle:ico-political Italians are
dcepan the scheme AT first blush it sounds
strange to hear of the Vatican yoking itself
with the CarDOnarl for the overthrow of
monarchy, but within the past decade the
papacy has drifted off so far from its old
conservative mornings that any alliance is
now possible to 1t. 1t is taken for granted
that the new Hanardeli ministry will only
last long enough TO arrange for a dissolu-
ton and appeal to the country; it is under
stood that the new chamber will probably
contain over 100 social democrats, who will
be reinforced by the clericals on important
divisions.
Apparently there was reflection of this
same unnatural union in Berlin yesterday.
where the entire socialistic group in the
reichstag voted for the return of the Jesu-
its to Germany.
No time need be wasted in pointing ont
that these two forces are working for
widely different ends. Rampolla's plan is
an Italian federal republic like ours, only
with the pope as a perpetual ex ofTicio
president and master also of Rome which
VIII be neut-alized a kind of District of
columbia. OF course the idea of lay revo-
lutioniSts is something widely different.
current interest lies in their temporary
alliance to clear the ground for their rival
projects by overthrowing the house of Sa

Financial Side of the Yale-Princeton
Foot Ball Game

Foot Ball Game
MT. II. s. Van Duzer. the treasurer of the
committee of the University Athletic Club
that managed the big Thanksgiving day
foot ball game is. according to the New
York Times, still hard at work trying to
close up the accounts. 1t will be several
days yet, he SAYS, before everything is
closed Up. He has figured out very closely
the attendance at the game though, and
can form a close estimate of the receipts
and expenses. In all the stands, opened
and covered. and in the boxes there were
l4.5l9 persons. Twenty-seven coaches We're
IN line, and putting the average at - per-
sons on each coach makes go more About
9.OoO admission tickets were sold; there
were 800 employees and policemen $50 MEM
pers or the press, 100 coachers, substitutes
ana trainers, and 30 persons in the club
house. This makes total of % 294 in the
big Enclosure. Then probably 500 fakirs
and others got in without being accounted
for at the box Office. The receipts from all
sources will be about $1,000. The COM
mittee expects to get in nearly $4,000 and
$1,000 worth of tickets We're sent to the
two colleges-Yale and Princeton-for sale,
The expenses Will be in the neighborhood
OF $1,000 The rent of Manhattan Field
was $4,000, the carpenters bill for putting
the stands i'll repair, erecting the fence
around the field and building the box stand
on the north side was 1900. Rent of office
salary of clerks, printing, stationery, post
age and incidentals will amount to 5000
and Bull and Thompson's bill for handling
the gates and ushers in the stands will be
about $1,000 more. This will leave $40 OO0
to be divided equally between the two col
leges.
Mr.. Van Duzer says he has about 50 800
rebate to return to applicants for tickets.
Many applied for three seats on the COW
cred stands and sent Sc. 1t was impossible
to supply all the demands, and when the
reserved seats ran out, tickets for seats on
the open stands were sent. These tickets
were worth 81 80 each, and the difference
will be refunded very soon.

Representative Jerry Simpson foresees
great events during the progress OF this
Congress, and says he believes that the
ing more rapidly than the third party peo-
pie have had reason TO hope for. He says
Mr.. Cleveland has befriended the populists
by offending his own people. Speaking OF
the tariff, Mr.. Simpson said that while
there had been no conference between the
populists. he believed that all or nearly
all of those in both House and Senate
would vote for the tariff bill. The meas
ure, he said, would be especially acceptable
to them if IL contained a provision for
either an individual income tax or a cor

AFFAIRS IN BRAZIL.
Admiral MellO Claims He Favors n
Republican Government.

HepuDl1can Government.
The New York Herald yesterday printed
a communica ton from Admiral Mello dated
Harbor of Rio, october 20, in which he
states that the purpose of the revolutionist
movement lis to establish a republican
constitutional government which was de-
stroyed by Peixoto; to promote national
peace in all the states of Brazil, and TO
substitute civil government for militarism
and the awful political system developed by
an actual dictator who prepares for our
country in this way the tremendous mis-
fortunes common to Spanish common
wealths
"All reports about monarchial plans as to
the navy revolution are absolutely false
The Herald's correspondent in Rio Grande
do Sui telegraphs that the leader of the
federal forces in that state. Gen. Gume-
sindo Saraiva, with 1000 well-armed men,
is preparing to transfer the revolutiona ry
fighting on land to Rio Jsneiro. Arrange
ments have been made by which the troops
will be hurriedly moved to the capital. Ii
is believed by some that the Aquidaban and
other ships of Mellos fleet will convey the
transports.
The loss of the transport Madeira. fol-
lowing the sinking of the ironclad Javary.
is another blow to Mellos cause, while the
escape of the Aquidaban and Esperanca
may prove an advantage to him.
Admiral stanton Talks.
AuInlTdl stanton was interviewed Satur-
Gay evening at his home in New London.
Conn. He expressed surprise at Mello's abili-
ty to make his way out of Rio in the face
of the raking fire from the forts at the
mouth OF the harbor. He thought the move
was made by Mello To intercept the Mic
theroy or to afford Mello an opportunity IA
clean the bottom of his own ship the Auudi-
ban. She is very Soul.
Admiral Stanton said he could not see
however, what Mello hoped to gain By leay-
ing the harbor and his base of supplies
when II was the avowed intention OF the
Nictheroy TO meet him as soon as possible
and try her dynamite guns on him. Melo's
advantage, he said, lay in his having guns
that would throw five miles. while the
Nictheroy could send but two miles III
the Nictheroy got into Rio while the
Aquidaban was away, the latter would have
TO encounter the dreaded lire from the har-
Dor forts again in order to get shot a Z
her. The removal of the AQuidaban takes
away, he said, Mello's most powerful vessel
In the opinion of the admiral. a crisis Is
hear at hand in the Brazilian warfare
which will soon result in a conclusion of
the trouble. Admiral Stanton said he wa 6
still awaiting orders TO appear in Washing
ton.

oto's government printed in the Herald

As to Sculpture.

II am sorry that there Is not more being
done here in the way of portraiture In
sculpture That is my own line, and L am
most particularly interested IN it, of course
have had the good fortune to make busts
and statues of some of the most dintin-
guished men of England. Gladstone and
Bright. the Archbishop of Canterbury and
the Marquis of Salisbury have been put into
marble by me. But there is not enough of
a feeling in favor of portrait busts i should
like to get away from the annoying require
ments of coats and trousers. The head is
the thing We want to preserve in our mem
cries. In a few families there have been
efforts made to secure likenesses of all the
members, and these are valued at the high
est cost by their owners. There are not
many, though, who care to have their own
features or those of their children or rela-
tives, done in white stone. Yet, | think
see change in this direction. | believe the
fashion is being set and the world will not
be slow to follow.
