The Financial Aspect.
An intimate friend OF the Marquis
di Rudlni. the opposition leader. IS quo
ted as saying that Rudinl will not con-
sent to accept oftice during the present
crisis. He Is reported to be OF the opin-
ion that Slgnor Crispl, whose friends
have now rallied strongly 10 his sup
port should be compelled TO stralghten
out the difficulties into which he has led
the country and that the defeat OF Gen
eral Baratieri IL not so much mis-
fortunes as the greater financial tronb-
les which are likely to follow.
This view OF the case Is shared by
some OF the more thoughtful newspa-
perS They say that Italy is confronted
by knotty problem-whether II would
not be better to make peace at any
price with the Abyssinians than incur
the immense expense involved In un-

The financial aspect OF the situation,

position TO do SO.

Almost Immediately after the ap-

his opponents. he announced that the

taken up and echoed far and wide.
Some moments elapsed before the
cheering subsidized and even then the
loud. excited shouts OF the Lettists con-
tinued for time.
Crispl gazed calmly upon the shout
ing, cheering deputles.Hs II such n DEM
onstratIon was quite an ordinary oc-
currencc and, when he was again able
TO make himself heard he added;
'rThe ministers viii remain at their

More cheers and hhouts OF disappro-

the president OF the chamber asked
that the house adjourn until the crown

The Leftists raised n storm Of pro-

the government should be impeached.
that the public were entitled 10 Know

clise for not making public promptly nll
the facts in the possession OF the min

I,eftistB had been exhausted the house
adjourned. pending the appointment OF

After the adjournment Of the cham

the adjacent streets remained hlled

soldiers who occupied all the ap-

SlEnor Crispi. after leaving the cham

sine die.
King Humbert has already consulted
