The subcommittee on fortifica-
tions OF the house conferred with
Col. Bliss, who appeared as rep
resentative of Secretary Lamont.
Much OF the discussion related to
the proving for all the appliances
when the guns were built. Col.
Bliss explained that the depart
ment has not yet been able to OBJ
tain a satisfactory carriage for the
l2-inch guns. In the meantime he
recommended the government
should proceed with the building
of guns and provide carriages af-
terward, particularly as carriages
can be made in much shorter
time than guns.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, March z.
AT the second annual banquet of
the Grand Rapids board OF trade
held last night, Edwin f. Uhl,
ambassador to Germany, was the
guest of honor. Mr.. Uhl will leave
Monday for Berlin to enter upon
his new duties. His address was
brief and eloquent, expressing his
gratitude for the good will ex-
pressed toward him by his old
friends and neighbors.
Gen. B. NJ Cutcheon,w who Is a men,
Der Of the ordnance board, spoke
on "The Cuban Question" He held
that 1t rested entirely with the
president to decide when to declare
the recognition of the belligerent
rights Of the Cubans and that
actions or opinions from any other
source had nothing to do with the
case.
Thomas J. O'Brien, OF Grand
Rapids, Mich, was the next speak
er. His subject was, sour Coun-
try's Influence Among Nations"
He said in part: "The. result of
our training, our freedom and our
liberty has been to make US proud,
sensitive, forceful, patriotic and
pathetic. We find a tendency
among our people to help others to
the same pride and liberty that we
enjoy, and II they are seeking to
obtain it, our sympathy Is always
quick and our material aid close at
hand. This is what is illustrated
by the international questions
which are now being diffused. A
patriotic outburst at q time when
all are unanimous. is a glorious
thing, but let us bear in mind that
positive action should be governed
by sober second thought. This
nation Is strong, strong in num-
bers, strong in wealth, strong in
the intelligence of the people, but
we must not forget ourselves
and cheaper this strength. We
must always be heard from in the
right. II the nation is honest,
honorable, sensible, and minds its
own business, it will be strong and
more masterful in the family of
nations"

ROME, March THE African
crisis assumed a brighter aspect
this morning as result of the re-
ception at the war Office Of a dis
patch from General Baldissera, an
nouncing the situation is not so
desperate as generally imagined.
He says he has $4,000 troops at
his disposal, without counting the
garrisons of the forts and reinforce
ments, amounting to 1900 men,
now on the way to Massowah. But
he urgently requests the i'm
mediate dispatch Of ammunition
and supplies and particularly ar.
tillery.
There was more rioting at Milan
last evening. Infantry soldiers,
while trying to disperse a mob,
were stoned. Finally two squad
rons of cavalry rode into the mob
with drawn swords. The mob re-
piled with showers Of stones and
shots from revolvers. Twelve SOL
diers and sixteen rioters were
wounded.
Train service to and from Milan
has been suspended as mobs attack
all trains attempting to leave or
enter the city.
A big anti-African meeting, to
be held tomorrow, is being orga.
nized in Milan and steps to hold a
similar assembly are being taken
in other large cities. The object
of the meeting is to urge the gov
ernment to abandon the policy OF
Italy In Africa, to conclude peace
with Abyssinia and bring home
the italian troops.
Disturbances similar to those at
Milan occurred last evening at
Pavia, Turin, Naples, Valencia and
Ravenna.

patch to the Herald from st. Peters,

OF Italy's present position was given
here by a parsonage who has the
warmest interest in that country:

that the whole world would APP
prove at the present moment If
King Humbert were boldly to state
that his ministers had made a mis-.
take into which he himself was
drawn, and he had now decided in
the interest of the country, to evac-
uate Abyssinia. The retirement of
Signor Crispi, whose so years, taken
with the Abyssinia disaster and
the recent loss of his grandson, en-
titles him to the utmost sympa-
thy, has given an easy opening for
such solution which is the only
practicable one visible.
england and France, in fact
every country in turn, has suffered
disaster and has accepted with
courage. Italy must do the same"
The Novoe Vremya calls atten-
ton to the report that that the
Marquis di Rudini will probably
now resume power and he is known
to be opposed to a policy of ad-
venture in Abyssinia. Gen. Bal
dissera Is OF the opinion, which is
strongly expressed, that Italy must
conclude the war In spite OF the
kings desire for victory.
NEW YORK, March IA dis
patch to the Herald from Rome
says: The king has decided that
the war shall be continued. This
policy, however, the Marquis de
Rudini has refused to carry out,
and great difficulties are being ex-
perienced in the formation Of a
new cabinet. Some days will
elapse before it is constituted.
Dispatches from the seat of war
state that Adrigat is now COM
pletely destroyed. Mutiny has also
broken out in the army, especially
among the troops in Asmara and
Massowah. The feeling against
Premier Crispi is very strong.

Grave relations are expected at
the trial of Gen. Baratieri. Signor

so irritated against Gen. Baratieri
that he would be capable of hav-

DEALING WITH OFFICIALS.
Hereafter Chinese Authorities Will Be Held
Responsible for OutraRes

The state department has just received the
final report of the commission appointed to
investigate the Kucheng riots in China las
spring. and to secure the punishment OF the
perpetrators OF the outrage on American
missionaries. The report is very volumin-
Gus document, fully illustrated by docu-
ments showing the ruins of the destroyed
property. the transport Of the convicted
criminals to the place OF execution In bamboo
cages, the actual beheading with startling
exactness, and the display OF the heads OF
the executed Chinese from trees near the
place OF their crime as a warning to the in
habitants against further assaults upon for
eigners.
While the report is OF value as faithful
reflex of the conditions leading up to the
missionary outbreaks, 1t has been anticipated
by the department and Secretary Olney, by
instructions to United States Representatives
In China, has laid down the doctrine prac
ticed successfully in the case OF the punish
ment OF the Kuecheng rioters that hereafter
they are to insist upon holding the local
Chinese officials to account and personal re-
sponsibility for outrages upon Americans.
