ROME, Sept 20.-The fetes cele-
brating the twenty-fifth annivers-
ary of the entry of the Italian army
into Rome, which began on the 14th
inst, eliminated today in the cere-
moay of the unveiling of the monu-
ment of Gen. Garibaldi on Janicul-
UNI hill, in the presence of King
Humbert and the royal family, the
court, ministers, and deputies of
veterans who served under Garibal-
di. The $4,000 people who witnessed
the ceremony displayed the utmost
enthusiasm. The decorations of pub
lie and private buildings were of
the most imposing and liberal char
acter. Every mention of Garibaldi,
Italy and King Humbert was greet
ed with loud cheers. The English
and American embassies had their
flags hoisted. The statue of Carl
baldi is by the sculptor Gallori. 1t
is an equestrian bronze weighing
fifteen tons. 1t has been erected in
the grounds of the Villa Corsini, up
on an immense granite base, on the
gorical groups. The side facing
Rome represents the defense of
Rome against the French IN 1S4S.
The opposite side shows the Carl
baldians taking Calata Fima- The
third and fourth sides exhibit
groups symbolical of America and
Europe.
Premier Crispi delivered AN ora
tion, in which he eulogized Garibaldi
without saying a word that might
give offenSe to either France or the
Vatican. He dilated upon the in
herent antagonism of statesman
ship and religion, arguing that those
claiming the restoration of the tenn
porai power are actuated by far
more human motives than that of
safeguarding the prestige of the
church. The struggles incidental to
political government, he said, would
stifie all sentiment of veneration for
Chrlsts vicar. Italy has given an
example for other countries in re-
nouncing ecclesiastical attributes
and according the greatest respect
to the liberty of the church.
ENVY OF ALL THE POWERS.
In the guaranty Of spiritual au-
tonomy, said Sgr. Crispi, the pope
possessed am unassailable fortress
which might well be envied by all
the powers of the world, and even
by Protestants. The pope is now
subject only to God. AS a temporal
prince his authority would be di-
mlnished, 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 rebellion should know
that they are only assisting an
archy, which denies both Cod ana
the king. Sgr. Crispi concluded by
saying: The fetes are not directed
against the pope. Do not let us
mar the solemnity Of this ceremony
in which the whole of italy is unit
ed, but remember that the Jubilee
reminds us Of our duty to defend a
patriotic inheritance won through
long years of sacrifice
The processian of Garibaldian vet
Grams to the Villa Corsini was a
striking and impressive spectacle,
with its bands of music and its
banners. The old soldiers in red
shirts were loudly cheered as they
marched through the streets. Ac-
cording to some estimates 100000
people congregated on Janiculum
hill. The royal carriage moved
through the crowd with the greatest
difficulty, the populace pressing
about to seize the hands of King
Humbert- and Queen Marguerite.
WILD ENTHUSIASM.
A tremendous shout went UP as
the veil was withdrawn from the
statue. Garibaldians stormed and
climbed the monument to deposit
upon it flags and crowns of flowers.
The scene was one of indescriba.ble
emotion. King Humbert cordially
saiuted a nonogenarian Garidaldiap
whose breast was covered with med
ais.
King Humbert has conferred the
order of the Annunciata upon and
sent fattering letter to Gen. Ca
dorna, the sole surviving member of
the ministry of 1870. Dispatches
from the provinces report that the
day has been celebrated everywhere
with the greatest enthusiasm. To-
night the city and the British en-
passy were brilliantly Illuminated
ana immense crowds paraded the
streets. The weather was superb.
hlng Humbert has granted "a
pardon to all of the Sicilian rioters
who are undergoing sentences of ~,
prasenment of less than ten years.
MEMORIAL COLUMN.
At 8 o'clock this afternoon the
mayor Of the city unveiled the me-
mortal column of Porta Pia, which
is erected on the exact spot where the
Italian troops effected a breach In
the city walls when they occupied
the city in 1870 and overthrew the
temporal power of the pope. The
veterans of 1870 moved to the site of
the column in splendid procession.
They deposited hundreds of wreaths
at its base and sang patriotic songs
In grand chorus. Much comment
has been caused by the other em-
bassies failing to notice the occasion.
The Vatican presented it's ordinary
aspect today, and the pope went to
st. Peters. where he spent long ]
