uOunceO the resignation OF the ca Dlnet,
which announcement was received with
prolonged and passionate applause.
The members of the extreme left
shouted insults at Signor Crispi, but
the premier preserved his temper, and
when he was enabled to obtain hear
ing declared with great frmness that
the ministry, until the nomination of
their successors, would retain office and
maintain public order.
In announcing the designations of
the ministry in the chamber of dep
uties, Signor Crispi stated that the
designations had been accepted by King
,Humbert.
The sitting of the chamber ended in
great disorder. Meanwhile the crowds
outside were shouting, cheering, ours
ing, kissing, bowling and groaning.
Thursday night the demonstrations
against Signor Crispi became more en-
ergetic, and the outlook was very threat
ening. Great crowds gathered in the
streets, and socialists and radical ora
tors, mounting steps, boxes or any,
thing that would lift them above the
level of the mobs, passionately ha-
rangued them, pointing out that all
the evil that had befallen Italy came
from the maladminist-ltion of the pres
ent cabinet. The prime minister aud
lis supporters were violently assaileG,
and the crowds were worked up into
condition bordering on frenzy. At this
point the police, in force, INTERVIEWED
and broke the meetings up, not, how
ever, without great difficulty.
Later crowd marched to the resi-
dence of Signor Cr.spi and made a
demonstration before it. Every OPP
probrious term in the italian language
was hurled at him, but no attention was
Paid to the crowd by those in the house.
Then the mob marched to the offices of
the newspapers that support the gov
ernment and shattered the windows
with stones, bricks and clubs. In driv-
ing the rioters away, several policemen
were quite severely injured. .
The disturbance caused by the news
of the great disaster and the conse-
quent display of indignation against
the government has been greatly in
creased by the calling out Of the army
reserves of the class of 1872, which calls
$4,000 additional men into active serv-
ice. The great majority of these re-
servists are married men whose fam
lilies will be deprived of their chief or
only support for an indefinite period.
Thus at Milan and other places serious
rioting has occurred when the reservists
prepared to obey orders and in many
cases they have been prevented by force
from leaving their towns. Railroad
cars have been demolished, rails torn
up and telegraph wires cut and the
police have been beaten and stoned into
helplessness. The soldiery have been
attacked, the bayonets have been free
" used and men and women, frenzied
with wrath, have thrown themselves
on the naked steel of the troops. Large
numbers of arrests have been made, the
troops everywhere are either confined
to barracks or occupying the streets,
and night has been turned into day by
torchlight professions, indignation
meetings, riotous demonstrations in
public squares and in front of many of
the government buildings.
More Riotous Demonstrations.
Rome, March There was renewal
Friday night of the riotous demonstra-
tions here against the government. The
mob smashed the windows Of several
buildings and stoned the police. Dur
ing the melee revolvers were fired and
13 soldiers and policemen and two
rioters were wounded.
At Pavia a mob tore up the railway,
preventing the departure of trains.
They also cut a number of telegraph
wires. The rioters then proceeded to
the prefecture Of police and smashed
all the windows in the building. The
police fired into the mob, and it is re-
ported that many were wounded.
