Grows Out of the Increase
of Taxes
TROOPS PELTED WITH STONES

MANY KILLED
The Special Grievance Is the Doubling
of the Assessments for Income
Taxes

ROME, Oct. 11.-Midnight.-The
streets have beer quiet this evening. A
special detail of police is patrolling the
district that was the scene of the dis
turbance In all, there have been
twenty mine arrests.
The rioter who was killed has not been
identified, but appears to have been
working man. The prefect of police
has ordered the dissolution of the Roman
Socialist union. Tomorrow the pro-
sycdic of Rome ard the president of the
chamber of commerce, who headed the
procession, will be received by the
Marquis di Rudini. who will discuss the
application of the income tax.
1t is estimated that there were at
least 10000 people in the procession that
escorted the deputation to the ministry
of the interior The authorities, 1t was
evident had failed to make adequate
provision for maintaining order in such
a vast crowd.
The people were irritate6 at being ex
clud.ed from the building by the car
bineers, ard presently second Getach-
ment issued with fixed bayonets and.
tried 20 clear the piazza. The crowd
then resisted, Stoke throwing began, and
the conflict speedily became general un-
til an infantry appeared on the scene,
and by repeated charges drove the
crowd into the adjoining streets, the
mob still. sl,owering stones. Some of
the soldiers became nfuriated, fired in
.-l r.
streets were only cleared after severe
struggle, a second resort to firearms be-
coming necessary to dislodge a partic
ularly determined group. 1t is be-
lieved that nearly forty were more or
less severely injured Hints are thrown
out in some quarters that the disorders
were fomented by agents provocateurs,
as, uc,til the sudden outbreak, the
CROWD had. been quite peaceful.
Placar6s were posted, on the walls
throughout the city this morning invit
ing all tradesmen to close their shops in
the afternoon from 2 to o'colck, in or
der to lend imposing character to the
demonstration. The suggestion. was al
most universally adopted, and the re-
suit was spectacle recedented since
the death of Victor Emanuel, except
that each closed door bore instead of the
legend, CLOSED for national mourning"
tbs inscription, "Closed, for fiscal rea
sons" The grievance is that this year
the assessments of incomes by the gov
ernment agents for income tax has been
doubledi throughout the country. AT a
meeting held yesterday it was decided to
make today's demonstration. II is said
-; \ ~-;< sol
rioters mingled with the crowd and
started cries of Down With the taxes"
and Down with the ministry" and
greeteG the soldiers with the cry, 1--WE

A CROKER CONFERENCE
WHICH MAY MAKE OR UNMAKE
A MAYOR
Van Wyck to Be Called Down to Make
Room for Gaynor as Tam
many's Candidate

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE Journal
arsd Advertiser says: Nathan straus
and Richard Croker have held confer
ence at Great harrington, Mass, with
Judge William Gaynor of Brooklyn. and
Col. William L. Brown.
Out of this conference it is declared
there will come a readjustment Of the
Democratic city ticket, with Judge Gay
r.ors name in the place of Robert A.
Van Wyck, as the candidate of the par
ty for Mayor. 1t is known that Mr..
Straus and Mr.. Croker went to Great
Darlington to urge Judge Gaynor's ac-
ceptance of the office. He will be the
candidate If he accepts.
Mr.. Straus was selected as the spokes-
man of Greater New York Democracy
on account of his close relations with the
conservative business interests OF the
city, which Judge Gaypor believed ear
lier in the campaign were adverse to his
candidacy for the Office of Mayor. Mr..
Straus was empowered by the Demo-
cratic Provisional Committee to say to
Judge Gaynor that his prospective Sc
lection for Mayor had been submitted
to the business men of the city and ap-
proved by them, ard that the Democratic
organizations would support him united
ly if he accepted.
These representations were made to
Judge Gaynor at the summer home of
Mr.. Straus, and the men discussed the
matter at length during drive to Ler4-
OK Judge Gaynor was disinclined to ac-
cept place on the ticket on account of
his friendly relations with Henry George,
the Silver Democratic candidate.
Judge Gaynor said TO Messrs. Straus
and Croker that Henry George, before
accepting the Independent nomina ton
for Mayor, had told him that he would
not run II Judge Gaynor was a candidate.
With this courtesy in mind, Judge Gay
nor hesitated 10 give his consent. He
has the matter still under cor.sidera-
