THE CRISIS IN ITALY.
Premier Crispi's Resignation AO-
Oepted by the King,
DISORDER THROUGHOUT ITALY.

Reports from All Sections Show the Bitter
State of Public Sentiment Against the
Government-It Is Believed Rudini VIII
Succeed Crispi.
ROME, March Elm the senate and
chamber Of deputies yesterday Premier
Crispi announced that King Humbert had
accepted the designations of the entire
ministry, but that they would remain at
their posts until their successors were ap-
pointed. The announcement was followed
by loud cheers, which were heard by the
crowds outside and, being understood,
were taken up and echoed far and wide.
There were many shouts of disapproval at
the announcement that the ministry would
not retire at once. After the announce
ments both houses speedily adjourned.
Many members OF the chamber of depu-
ties were prepared to make inaammatory
speeches, and there is much complaint
among them, growing out of their disap-
pointment on this score, at the abrupt and
summary manner in which an adjourn
ment was had. The government seems to
have taken the chamber by surprise by
this movement. Even the Marquis di Ru-
dini, the ex-premier, the leader Of the OPP
position, and who, it is generally believed,
has been asked by King Humbert to form
a new cabinet desired to be heard by the
chamber, and was unceremoniously cut
off.
/ The party of the Left had even given no
I tice of motion to impeach the cabinet,
and are in a high state of Indignation at
leaving the present ministry in undis-
puted control pending the formation of the
new government.
After the sitting had been adjourned
and the wrangling which subsequently
broke out among the deputies in the lob
bies had come to an end, 15O of the depu-
ties held meeting at which Signor Villa,
president OF the chamber Of deputies ex
planned that they were actuated in thus
adjourning and cutting off debate by a de-
sire TO avert untoward Incidents which
might further imperil the welfare of the
country. AS it was, the deputies had ex-
pressed the Indignation Of the country
with the policy of the government and
as assurances were given OF change Of
ministry, this was thought sufficient
Signor Bovio declared that the situation
in the northern part of Italy, as result
of the Indignation over the African cam
paign and the resulting flasco, was men
acing in the extreme, and that rising o
There seems to be no cessation and m
amelioration of the agitation and disor
ders among the people, Notwithstanding
the less disastrous character of later re
ports Of the battle at Adowa. The agita
tion is as threatening as ever, and las
evening the rioters smashed numerou
windows. Almost everywhere excite
crowds are parading the streets, and tn
police have great difficulty in dispersin
them, as is shown by the reports of man
conflicts that have occurred between tn
police and the people. A large number {
arrests have been made, and the publ
- apprehension of trouble is indicated
: the number of shops that have been close
! for fear of the damage that would resul
to them from an olsJbreak of disturbance
. The troops are still confined to their ba
: racks.
/ The utmost efforts of the police an
a soldiers to disperse the mob which hel
r possession all day of the piazza colonna
!, front of the chamber of deputies prove
Q futile up to 8 o'clock last night, and {
Q that time the cries of derision and disal
: proval of the government, of PremiC
/: Crispi and of the commanders in AfriC
g were still being pertinaciously kept up
=. the parading crowds. At midnight, hoy
- ever, quiet was restored.
