Fear of the Mob.

ROME, March 3.-It is reported here
today that General Baratieri, commander
of the italian forces in Africa, who has
suffered another severe reverse at the
hands of the Shoans, while advancing on
Abbacarima, was wounded during the
engagement. The defeat of the Italians
was complete.

armed with modern rifles and cannon,
and the entire force opposed to the Ital-
ians is estimated to have been over So
600.
As the evening wore on and the very
worst news of the Italian defeat was
confirmed, the feeling of despair which
first seized upon the inhabitants, gave
way to one of the greatest excitement
and rage against the government. Bands
of young men began parading the streets
shouting Down with Crispi," but they
were promptly dispersed by the police.
These demonstrations however attract
ed still laager crowds of people to the
streets and for time Sc
rious trouble was anticipated. All
the troops at the different barracks
throughout the city were placed un-
der arms aud patrols of mounted gen.
darmes were ordered to the leading thor
oughfares.

1t ia stated this evening that the minis

popular clamor arising from the recent
defeat of the Italian forces in Abyssinia'
The government has decided to send
further reinforcements of ten thousand
troops to Abyssinia Immediately The
correspondent also says that the de-
feat of Gen. Barrietari must have been
very severe inded, as he retreated fifty
miles.

A Patent Lawyer.

Attorney Garrett McEnerny recently ap-

of tho peace at Suisun. McEnerny found
it necessary to make frequent objection to
the evidence that opposing counsel was at
tempting to introduce. The Justice, whose
first rule of evidence is ''everything goes, !"
looked first annoyed and then indignant.
Finally he could contain himself no longer,
and, as a ruling on one of McEnerny's OBJ
jections, roared:
ssMr. MoEnerny, what kind of lawyer
are you anyway?''
''I'm patent lawyer" replied the at
torney facetiously.

the patent expires you will have a hard
time getting 1t renewed. Go on with the
case. San Francisco Post.
