ROME, Sept 21-The fetes celebrating
the twentv-ffth anniversary Of the entry
of the Italian army into Rome which be-
gan on the 18th inst, eliminated yester-
day in the ceremony Of the unveiling of
the monument of General Garibaldi on
the Janiculum hill, in the presence of King
Humbert and the royal family, the court,
ministers and populations of veterans who
served under Garibaldi. The $4,000 people
who witnessed the ceremony displayed the
utmost enthusiasm. The decorations Of
public and private buildings were of the
most imposing and liberal character
Every mention of the names of Garibaldi
Italy and King Humbert, was greeted with
loud cheers. The English and American
embassies had their flags hoisted.
The statue Of Garibaldi is by the sculp-
tor Gallori 1t is an equestrian bronze,
weighing fifteen tons. 1t has been erected
in the grounds of the Villa Corsini upon
an immense granite base, on the four sides

Premier Crispi delivered an grafton, in
which he eulogized Garibaldi without say
ing word that might give offense to
either France or the Vatican.
Signor Crispi dilated upon the inherent
antagonism of craftsmanship and religion,
arguing that those claiming the restora-
ton of the temporal power are aOtuated by
far more human motives than that of safe
guarding the prestige Of the church. The
struggles incidental to political govern
ment, he said, would stifle all sentiment
of veneration for Christ's vicar. Italy has
given an example for other countries in
renouncing ecclesiastical attributes and
I according the greatest respect to the lib
erty of The church.
In the guaranty Of spiritual autonomy,
he said, the pope possessed an unassailable
| fortress which might well be envied by all
tn powers of the world, and even by Pro
testants. The pope is now subject only to
God AS a temporal prince his authority
would be diminished, for he would then
only be the equal of other princes, who
would league themselves against him.
After 1870 Pope Plus TX could contend
with Bismarck. Catholics preaching re-
bellion should know that they are only
assisting anarchists, who deny both God
and the king.
Signor Crispi concluded by saying: "The
fetes are not directed against the pope. Do
not let us mar the solemnity of this cere-
mony, in which the whole of Italy is
united, but remember that the jubilee re-
minds us Of our duty to defend a patriotic
inheritance won through long years of
sacrifice"
The procession of Garibaldian veterans
to the Villa Corsini was a striking and i'm
pressive spectacle, with its band of music
and its banners The old soldiers in red
shirts were loudly cheered as they marched
through the streets. According to some
estimates 100000 people congregated upon
the Janiculum hill. The royal carriage
moved through the crowd with the great
est difficulty, the popnlace pressing about
it to seize the hands Of King Humbert and
Queen Marguerite
A tremendous shout went up as the veil
was withdrawn from the statue. Garibaldi-
ans stormed and climbed the monument
to deposit upon it flags and crowns of
flowers. The scene was one of indescrib-
able emotion.
