AFRICAN SITUATION.
How 1t Affects Italian Interests az
Seen by vrispi.


ROME, Dec 16.-In the chamber of
deputies today Premier Crispi spoke on
the African situation as it affects Ital-
lam interests, defending himself against
the charges made by Deputies Imbriani
and Cavalotti yesterday. as ne am
nounced he would do. He denied Italy
had brought on the WAR in Abyssinia,
and HE stated the Italian forces had
only acted on the defensive, but had
been forced to advance for strategic
reasons. The government, he said,
would do its utmost to prevent repe-
tition of the recent incident Teferring
to the defeat and death of Major Tos-
ELI and 700 or more of his followerS),
and to bring peace. Meanwhile General
Baralieri, who is in command of the
Itallban forces in Africa, had been re-
inferced and would secure the Italian
position.
Deputy Gaeteni attacked Premier
Crispi in al speech and declared him a
republican, He was called to order up
on this, but he persisted In mis- asser-
ton, and the president of the cham
Der postponed the sitting. 1t was later
resumed but after a short discussion
was adjourned.

government will demand u credit of

campaign in Abyssinia.

IN THE HOUSE.
The Gentleman From Oklahoma
Takes n Turn.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE pro-
ceedings in the House today were en-
hvened by Mr.. Flynn, the delegate from
Oklahoma, who offered the following
resolution:
Whereas, By act of Congress ap-
proved March 2, 1895, an agreement
between the Wichita and affiliated
bands of Indians in Oklahoma and
United States commissioners was duly
ratified and provision made for the
allotment of lands therein to the
Wichita Indians and providing for the
opening of the surplus lands after al
lotment to homestead settlement, and
Whereas, The secretary of the in
terror has wholly failed to appoint
agents to allot said lands, as provided
in said act; therefore, be 1t
Resolved, That the secretary of the
interior is hereby directed, if not in
compatible with the public interest,
to report to the House, first, the rea-
sons and causes operating, if any, to
delay the appointment of alloting
agents and the allotment of said lands
second, whether any of his connections
or relations by blood or marriage are
acting as attorneys for said Indians
or amy party or parties interested in
S.>AeNy
to settlement.
The Democrats we're not disposed to
raise any objection to this resolution
of inquiry but Mr.. FLYNN, after consent
for its consideration had been secured.
began an attack on the secretary of
the interior, which called forth a We
he1nent protest from Mr.. Cooper, Of
Florida, who maintained that Mr..
Hymns language toward the secretary
was undignified and disrespectful.
This melted Mr.. Flynn to renewed at
tacks. At the conclusion of his speech,
however, he called for the previous
question, thus shutting off the posi-
bility of a further defense of the secre-
tary of the interior.
The House agreed to take up to-
morrow the proposition to increase the
membership of the principal COM
mittees and to create an additional
committee on elections, in order to
facilitate the disposal of the contested
election cases. This promises lively
debate.

REPUBLICAN CONFERENCE.
Mapping Out Plans for the Election
Contests.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-There was a
conference Of Republican and Democratic
leaders in the speakers room this after
noon to discuss the Republican plan for
increasing the number of committees to
deal with election contests.
Mr.. Reed invited Messrs. Dingley, Dan
iels, Henderson, Cannon, Payne and Dali
Zell, Of the Republicans, and Crisp, Nc
MILAN and Bailey, Democrats, to the dis
cussion. The plan outlined by the Re
publicdnS was for three committees of
nine members each, six Republicans and
three Democrats, each committee to be
divided into three subcommittee, each
composed of two Republicans and one
Democrat While this plan would give
the minority a smaller proportionate rep
resentation than it has formerly had, Mr..
Reed explained that the division was rem
dered necessary by the scheme for SUBJ
committees. With nine subcommittee
each one would have three contests to
consider. as of the thirty-eight contests,
four have been practically abandoned by
the failure of the contestants to gather
evidence, and MIR. Mccain, of Chicago,
has conceded his seat to the Repu blcan
claimant, Mr.. Belknap. The Democrats
We're assured that the only object enter
tanned by the majority was to facilitate
the disposal of the contests and establish
the titles of the rightful claimants with
out delay, in the interests of justice and
economy.
Mr.. Reed said that the Republican in
tention was to settle the cases strictly
upon the legal evidence and in a judicial
spirit.
Difference of opinion was developed
among the Democrats. Messrs. Crisp and
Mcmillan declined to assent to the propo-
sition and are understood to have held
that the proper pam, if a. committee of
the usual size could not hear all the evil
dence, would be to increase the number
of committeeman.
Mr.. Bailey took the stand that the DEM
ocrats were bound to accept the assllr-
anceS Of their opponents that the minor
ity would be fairly treated and was dis
posed to accede to the plan. The other
Democrats were inclined to the opinion
that the scheme was one to unseat Demo-
Gratis with greater facility.
No understanding was reached, and it
was by coudtesy that the Democrats were
consulted, as the Republicans intend to
carry out their plan.

case was gone over. None of those
present at the conference would dis
cuss what had been done.

Viewed Abroad,

LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE Times says
this morning in an editorial:
Secretary Carlisle's scheme appears to
be thorough-going, comprehensive end
well thought of. We fear, however, that
its soundness and feasibility which were
SO clearly demonstrated will not avail
with the present majority in Congress.
An editorial writer on the Standard
on the same subject thinks that the Re-
publicans will prefer to continue max
Ing deficits by reducing tariffs.
Still" adds the Standard, Secretary
Carlisles report proves that American
statesmen are making progress on the
currency question and gives hope for the
future
The Chronicle. commenting on the re-
port, does not believe that the present
Congress will retire the treasury notes
or do anything with the currency ques-
ton.
The most hopeful thing would be to
reduce national expenditures, and espec-
tally for pensions. adds the Chronicle.
