The declarations OF Premier Crispi in regard 10

policy adopted in the Cabinet Council OF April 10
1885. but which. unfortunately was not or couid

Council the Ministers rejected the proposal MADE
with insistence by the General for a permanent
occupation Of Adua, and II decided TrtuaHy
to abandon the province OF Tigre. General 8a.a-

the Abyssnians would make a hostile advance,
and that II necessary TO occupy the Whole o.

Rome Dec 16-Premier Crispi reappeared in the
Chamber OF Deputies to-day. looking well after
several days absence owing TO indisposition. In
regard TO the situation in Abyssinia Signor Crispi
said that the Government had no desire TO extend
the Italian frontiers of Africa, but rather desired
prosperity and peace in the provinces already oc-
cupied BY Italy and TO forfy the frontier oil these
provinces as TO prevent Abyssnian aggression.
The Premier was frequently interrupted by Radi-
cal Deputies. Sgnor Laurenzana. one Of the Radl-
cal leaders, declared himself in favor Of repubh-
can form OF government. and recalled the prophecy
made by the famous Italian agitato- Mazzim OF the
downfall Of the Italian monarchy. Signor lau-
renzana expressed hope that the Ministry now pre-
sided over by Signor Crispi would be the last
monarchical Ministry In Italy.
The President rebuked Signor Laurenzana for his
intemperate and unpatriotc language, ana called
him to order the Chamber applauding the fresi-
dent. The sitting thereafter was greatly agitate1.

THE sCOTT MYSTERY.

Belief That the County Treasurer Was
 Lynched Strengthened.
 DWELL, Neb., Jan. 3.-It is believed now that Barnett Scott has been murdered and his body thrown into the Niobrara river. Sheriff Hamilton and his men tracked the wagon in which Scott and Schmidt were taken to within a few miles of the river, when all trace was lost. The quicksands in that section of the river would quickly swallow any body thrown in there.
 Residents of the county in which the crime was committed say that for the last three or four days . large number of men have been driving through that portion of the county, all heavily armed. Members of the posse returned to this city with Mose Elliott as prisoner He was turned over to the deputy sheriff of this county and is confined in the county jail. He was arrested at his home, about 20 miles north east of this city. The warrant was sworn out by Schmidt, who charged Elliott with being one of the mob which attacked them, shot Miss McWharter and probably mur- dered Scott.
 Elliott is q farmer living in Scott town ship. which was named after the missing man, and has been an avowed enemy of Scott for the last two years, a fact which the prisoner admits. Sheriff Hamilton and q dozen men arc still in the country, and it is rumored that four or five persons will be arrested today. They have five men who were in the mob spotted

JOHN BURNS IN BOSTON.
He Calls That City the ''Court of King Cap-
 itaI of America"

BOSTON. Jan. 3-A reception in honor hall, followed by mass meeting. at which Mir. Burns. Frank K. Foster. Miss Frances E. Willard and Lady Henry Somerset were among the speakers. Every available inch of room in the hall was occupied half an hour before the time the mass meeting begun, and hundreds were turned away.
 MT. Burns began by referring to his pleasure at being able to appear in the an- cient and historic city of Boston, which also is the ''court of King Capital of America. |" Referring to the Chicago criti- cism of himself he said:
 "'The trade unions should go into mu- nicipal politics, and when honest working men arc in seats of honor many things, such as municipalizing the street cars, gas service, telegraphs and other necessi- ties which would be of great benefit to the workingman, will be achieved.
 The curse of the American labor move ment is jealousy, and you must remember when you are killing each other in a hell of jealousy that the monopolist is only hugging himself with joy because your fighting will make it all the longer before you will come to your senses and get your just demands. Speculation and monopoly are going on more in America than anywhere else and I can see pre- monitory symptoms which, if not guided into the proper channels by the trades un- ions, will develop a storm in this land be- fore which the French revolution will be as nightmare and the commune an illusion" "

Alleged to Have Been Driven to It by His
 Fathers Cruelty.
 BINGHAMToN, N. Y, Jan. 3.-A report has reached this city of a most sensational suicide. A son of Jerome Hall a farmer living in what is known as PeaStown, a small settlement in tho town of Windsor, was found dead, hanging from beam in the barn. The boy was only 13 years of age. and it is alleged that the cause was cruelty on the part of the father who, it Is said, was most brutal. inflicting se- we're loggings withoat cause. --~ s5
 Sentiment runs high, and much indig- nation is aroused toward the parent. It is a rare occurrence for one at this age to take his life, and tho conclusion is that the boy was of an extremely sensitive temper
 The affair has caused decided sensa- tion in the town of Windsor, and some of the neighbors are loud in their demands for an investigation. Mir Hall bears a good >eputation, and his friends scout tho idea that cruelty drove his son to suicide. The lad is said to have been very bright for his years

 GUTHRIE, O. T., Jan. 3.-Two star des- peradoes who have infested Oklahoma ter ritory for long time have been run to the ground and made to bite the dust. Before they did they fought their would be captors q hard battle. The outlaws arc Bob Moore and George East, both of whom are suspected of having been i'm plicated in the Canadian (Tex.) express robbery and the killing of Sheriff McGee. News of the affair was received at United States Marshal Nix's office here.
 Deputy Marshal Bill Williams and a strong detachment Of deputies had been chasing the outlaws for several days. They had traced them from place to place, but had not before got within fighting dis tance. Although the sides were unequal, half a dozen or more deputies to two out laws, the latter were armed to the teeth, and their natural desperation, strength ened by the position in which the deputies had put them, made them no easy mark
 They were rounded up in desolate val ley in the southwestern part of Washita county about noon, and when commanded to surrender took 0 stand and began using their winchesters Their aim was good, for in the first voIley one of the posse fell, seriously wounded by ball in the side His name is not given. The next instant. however, both lay stretched on the ground dead, with bullets from the deputies guns in their hearts.
 The outlaws were q veritable walking arsenal, and had they not been killed so soon would doubtless have laid some of the deputies to rest. They arc both old offenders, with unenviable reputations among their craft, and their riddance is joyous news to the territorial officials gen. orally, as they were the constant dread of Oklahoma.

One Big Shoe Manufacturer In Haverhil
 Comes to Terms.
 HAvERHiLL, Mass, Jan. 3.-The out look today in the strike situation Is hope full for Q speedy settlement. The action of W. W. Spaulding in calling Agent Pomeroy to a conference is favorably com+ mented upon, and although it cannot pe learned just what was said or done 1t Is generally believed that the biz manufac- turer has decided to accede to the demands of his former employees
 If Mir SpauldInR does this. the other manufacturers will undoubtedly follow his example thereby ending the strike and the disliked contract system.
 The cutters, stitohers' and other unions held meetings and decided that the situa- tion was moro favorable. What seems to be the most difficult point to be agreed upon ia tho abolishment of the contract system, but 1t Is probable that majority of tho manufacturers will agree to it rather than prolong the trouble. Manu- facturef Spaulding claims that he did not understand tho system before end has promised to do what is right
