Premier Crispi Accused of Having Pur-
pOsely Avoided Debate.
ROME, December 19.-The political
crisis continues to absorb public atten-
ton. Ex-Premier Giolitti has gone into
the country, where he is followed and
watched by detectives. There is no
doubt news of the proroguing of Parlia-
ment has created bad impression
throughout Italy. 1t is interpreted as
indicating that Premier Crispi intends
to remain in power in spite of the oppO-
sition.
Ex-Premier Rudini in letter to the
electors accuses Premier Crispi of hav-
ing purposely avoided debate in the
Chamber Of Deputies on the Banca Ro-
mana scandal by forcing Propagation.
THINKS CRIsPI's FALL IMMINENT.
LONDON, December 19.-The Daily
Chronicle correspondent in Vienna con-
tends that Crispi's standing with the
King has been shaken and his resigna-
ton may be expected at any moment.
He thinks that Crispi would not survive
his fall long, as he has been apOplectic
for some time.
The Times correspondent in Vienna
saws that it would be difficult to exag-
gerate the profound impression made
there by the exposure of The scandals in
Italy. He hints that the revelations are
likely to prevent the renewal OF the
triple alliance when its period shall ex-
pire. Some newspapers regard Crispi as
proved guilty, others not.
GIOLITTI SAID TO HAVE FLED.

Dear Grover had a dream one night
That made his eyes bulge put with fright
He dreamed that he was dead and rome
And ruling in that unknown home.
He found the place in good repair,
The servants all wore horns and hair,
The overseer with fork in hand
Babe Grover all the house command.
Grover called them by the score
And bade the last one close the door,
But when seated in that big chair
Free trade and birthstone filled the air.
The choir sang him golden Tyre
While all h tmps punched up the FIRE.
The servants shouted in his ear,
We have no trade but birthstone here.
Poor Grover looked from east to west
And thought of all that he loved best,
OF Wall Street and the men with gold
And of the power he used to hold.
The fire waxed hot the fumes were strong,
He knew he could not stand it long.
He tried to pray while in that smoke
But was surprisedfor he awoke.
He rubbed his head and then his eyes
Both seemed to him just twice in size,
An effort then to speak he made
And mumbled out the words Free Trade.
A man hat has a donkey's will
Can kick their feeder down the hill
And one that has a Burro's brains
should not control the Nations reins.

Miss Julia Arthur, the young actress who
is well known in Savannah through her en-

in which she was reported to have said:

Let a native actress have ever so much
talent or genius and she must struggle
against obstacles innumerable Mana
gers, critics and public are blind where
her merits are concerned. The newspa

they tender it at all.

Miss Arthur is in London where She is
said to be under engagement to Sir Au-
gustus Harris. In her letter she says:
