ITALYS DEPUTIES IN UPRoAR.
THE EXCITEMENT FOLLOWS A sLUR
ON THE MAGIsTRACY.

The Minister of Justice Casts Doubt
Upon the Integrity and Judicial
Fairness of the Judges-The Din
So Great That the Minister Has to
Stop SDeaking-The Whole GinlittI
Affair Finally Squashed.
Rome, Dec. 13.-In the course of the de-
bate in the Chamber of Deputies on the
report of the parliamentary committee
investigating the charges against ex-
Premier Giolitti Of having stolen the doc
uments that were distracted from the
Banca Romano and taken to the minis
try of the interior while Senor Giolitti
was at the head of the department. the
ex-premier contended that the charges
were not devised in the public interest.
but had been formulated and brought
forward solely for political ends. He de-
fed his accusers to produce proof that
he had been actuated in the matter of
the Banca Romano or the prosecution of
SignOr Tanlongo. the governor of that
institution, by personal interests.
Signor Gallenda, minister of justice, in
reply, alluded TO the magistracy in terms
which cast doubt upon their integrity ard
judicial fairness. In an instant there vas
a tremendous uproar in the chamber,
amid which could be heard cries of pro
test from all sides. The din drowned the
minister's voice, and he was compelled to
stop. The excitement increased beyond
the power of the president to control 1t;
whereupon all of the other ministers
walked out of the chamber, leaving Signor
Gallenda the sole representative of the
government in the House. The uproar
was so violent and protracted that the
proceedings of the chamber were temper
arily suspended.
When the sitting was resumed, Signor
Cavalotti, the radical leader, declares
that the chamber ought to deal with
Prime Minister Crispi in the same meas
ures it might adopt against Signor Go
litti.
The supporters of Signor Giolitti main
tained the necessity of a direct inquiry into
the matter by the chamber, or failing in
this, that the eX-prime minister be sent
to the high court of Justice.
The government supporters agreed that
II would be dangerous in the present sit
uation to awaken political bitterness by
prolonging the inquiry in the high court.
A majority of the chamber finally voted
that there was no cause for sending Sig
nor Giolitt before the high court.
This decision is tantamount to sQuashing
the whole affair

number OF additions to the classified SER
vice by order of President Cleveland
ana discussed at considerable length the
executive order concerning the consular

final or exhaustive" but rather as a
mere step in the right direction"

a mere executive order of this kind which
could be ignored by succeeding ad-
ministration requires legislative epact-
ment, and the friends Of civil service re-
form are urged to press the passage Of
the Lodge and Morgan bills providing
Tor consular and diplomatic service re-
forms.

FEDERATION OF coLORED MEN.
An Address Adopted by the Confer
ence at Detroit.

Detroit Mich, Dec. 1s.-The national
conference OF colored men in session here
to-day adopted an address to the country
II says the status Of the colored race in
the United States bears a closer analogy
TO that Of denizens than TO the honorable
ana indetensible rights of native born cit
lzenshlp, and that in at least three states
OF tho union citizenship is farce, which.
IN DEFAULT OF absolute protectio should
be exchanged for the panoply of some
more paternal form Of government.
The objects of the conference are de-
nned TO be the assertion of opposition
TO every species of injustice perpetrated
upon the race to render more effective
the moral, educational and social forces
which S,OOOOoO of free men ought to eXer-
else; TO form compact national organi-
zatiOni TO assume a new attitude among
the citizens of the nation, not unduly ar
rogant but one which shall resent the
assumption of inferlority. This, the ad-
dress declares, is necessary TO do after
generation of selfish Indifference and
un-AmeriCan and non-Christian contempt.
Much Of the opposition to the negro TO-
day, south and north, in factory, bench
and shop" the address says, 'is not
based as formerly on the ground of the
negro's fundamental incapacity, but Is
publicly stated and stoutly defended on
be protected from the negro's physical
prowess, his enthusiasm and acknowledg-
ed capacity.
'The conference aims at nothing unat-
tainable, but merely what other citizens
OF this civilization are now enjoying
1T would hold the lawless elements OF
the south up to the fun measure of ma
uonal eXecration.
we mark the opening OF the militant
period" the address continues, 'of our
race in this country. That time we con-
eeive to be now and our advice is for
every member of the race
henceforth to employ every wea-
pom of every kind of warfare legti-
mately and courageously for the demand
OF every right. We recognize the univer-
sal law that no man or race gets more
social or political preferment than he
lights for and can maintain; but we do
not acquiesce In the dictum that we must
trust to time and to the pleasure or dis
position OF our enemies to grant our
rights.
"The Christening hand Of slavery and
caste have only served TO temper and
deepen confidence In the ultimate settle
men OF all our demands as men and citi-
zens."
