MENT.

Rudini Will DevOIve the Form
Ing of Cabinet.

ROME, March 5.-The ministry an
nounced its resignation in the chamber
of deputies today, and Premier Crispi
added that it had been accepted by
the king. In spite Of the strong force
of troops and police present about the
chamber of deputies today, it was with
difficulty that order was maintained.
AS it was, the soldiers and police were
frequently jostled by the excited pop
ulace, and had 1t not been for the
great forbearance displayed by the au-
thorities, many serious disturbances
would have occurred. The chamber of
deputies was crowded and the galleries
were packed with excited spectators.
The crowd about Monte Citirio, upon
which the chamber of deputies stands,
every now and then raised cries of
Down with the government" Death
to Baratieri," etc., ETC., and from the
galleries, previous to the entry of the
ministry, a number of persons were
elected by the police for uttering SINH
lar cries. Almost Immediately after
the appearance of the premier, who
was greeted with cheering by some Of
his supporters and by cries of derision
from his opponents, he announced
that the cabinet had resigned and that
the king had accepted it's resignation.
The announcement was followed by
loud cheers, which were heard by the
crowd outside, and, being understood,
were taken up and echoed far and
wide. Some moments elapsed before
nhnnrincr
the loud, excited shouts of the Leftists
continued for time.
CRISPI GAZED CALMLY
upon the shouting, cheering deputies,
as If such a demonstration was quite
an ordinary occurrence, and when he
was again able to make himself heard,
he added: 'The ministers will remain
at their posts until their successors are
appointed"
More cheers and shouts Of disap-
proval followed this statement, after
which the president of the chamber
asked that the house adjourn until the
crown decided upon the successors Of
the ministers who had just announced
their designations. The Leftists raised
storm of protest against the PROPOSE
ton, saying that the government
should be impeached; that the public
were entitled to know who was respon-
sible for the disaster in Abyssinia, and
that there was no excuse for not max
ing public promptly all the facts in
the possession Of the ministers. But
when the protest of the Leftists had
been exhausted, the house adjourned,
pending the appointment of a new cab
met. After the adjournment of the
| chamber, the piazza of Monte Citirio
and the adjacent streets remained
filled with excited crowds of people,
until they were dispersed by the police
and soldiers, who occupied all the ap-
proaches to the house Of parliament.
Signor Crispi after leaving the cham
ber of deputies made similar state
ment in the senate, which adjourned
sine die.
Before Premier Crispi made his an
nouncement to the chamber of depu-
ties, each of the ministers, on arriving
in theshouse was loudly hQoted and the
opposition leaders were as energeti-
cally cheered. During the uproar the
premier was as cool as If nothing was
happening and bowed ironically on all
sides while the Leftists were hooting
him. Eventually the people in the gal
leries became so excited and took such
an active part in the demonstration,
that the police cleared that part of the
house. But this was only accomplished
with a great deal Of difficulty. Several
number of encounters between the peo-
pie in the gallery and the police, the
former hooting and yelling as they
were driven out.
HOT SPEECHES CUT OFF.
Many members of the chamber of
deputies were prepared to make in
fammatory speeches at the sitting to-
day and there is much complaint
among them, growing out of their dis
appointment on this score, at the
abrupt and summary manner in which
an adjournment was had. The govern
ment seems to have taken the chamber
by surprise with this movement. Even
the Marquis di Rudini, the eX-premier,
leader of the opposition, and who, it is
generally believed, has been asked by
King Humbert to form a new cabinet
and assume the heavy responsibility of
the present disorganiZed state of af-
fairs, desired to be heard by the
chamber and was unceremoniously cut
Off The party of the Left had even
given notice of motion to impeach
the cabinet and are in a high state of
indignation at leaving the present min
istry in undisputed control pending the
formation of the new government.
A large number of senators held
meeting and adopted a resolution eX-
pressing their confidence in the crown
ton of the crisis.
The motion to impeach the cabinet,
which the members of the Left gave
notice of their intention to propose,
was as follows:
"The chamber of deputies. hoping
that the people with calmness and en-
ergy will know how to do justice to all
guilty parties in the African enter
prise, decides to recall the troops now
in Africa, and upon the impeachment
of the ministry"
CABINET SPECULATION.
The Opinione mentions among those
who will possibly be entrusted with the
formation of a new cabinet, the names
of the Marquis di Rudini, Signor Sar-
acco and Gen. Ricotti. This journal
believes, however, that the king will
select the Marquis di Rudini, who will
form a ministry in connection with Sig
nor Brein, an eX-minister.
The Tribuna thinks that Gen. Ricotti
will be chosen, the Marquis di Rudini
cooperating. There seems to be no
cessation and no amelioration of the
agitation and disorders among the peo-
pie, Notwithstanding the less disas-
