ITALIAN CABINET
Fierce Opposition to Ministry In the
Chamber.

Rome, Dec. 2O.-In the chamber of
deputies today, the Marquis Di Rudini
announced the formation of the new
cabinet, and debate on the question
was opened. A vote will be taken to-
morrow.
After criticisms upon the opposition
of the ministry, Signor Colombo, former
minister of the treasury, submitted a
resolution of want of confidence in the
new government, but the chamber re-
jected it by a vote of 200 against 1S4.
The debate Gn the chamber Of depu-
ties), occupied five hours, all the promi-
nent leaders speaking. The opposition
fiercely attacked the government, and
the small majority obtained by the
government is regarded as equivalent
to a moral defeat, especially as several
former friends of the ministry alb
stained from voting. The ministers
had expected majority of quite so.
1t is understood that, though disap-
pointed, the premier, the Marquis
Di Rudini, will not resign, but as all
the friends of the minister of foreign
affairs, the Marquis Visconti Venosta,
voted against the government, it is
expected that he will tender his
resignation.

.SPOILS SYSTEM BEST
So Says Pension Commissioner
Evans In His Testimony.
CIVIL SERVICE TESTED
DOES NOT ACCOMPLISH THE RE
SUITS INTENDED.
Best Men In Pension Office Are Those
Who Have Come In Under Spells
System = Country In Danger of
Being Inflicted With Civil Pen
sion List.

Washington, Dec. Commissioner
of Pensions Evans today appeared be-
fore the senate committee on civil ser
vice and retrenchment, which is con-
Quoting an investigation into the opera
ton OF the civil service system.
Mr.. Evans was questioned at length
by Senators Lodge and Pritchard about
the civil service system and it's appli-
cation to the pension office force. He
expressed the opinion that the law did
not accomplish the results it's friends
insisted that it did. The best men in
his office were those who had come in
under the so-called ''spoils system
They did their duty, and expected to
hold their positions by so doing.
The pension examining boards, he
said, ought not to be in the classified
service, as it was desirable to secure
men as members of such boards who
had had wide surgical experience-ar-
my experience, if possible-and such
men would not enter into competition
for the places with young men just out
of college. He thought, however that
the entire system of appointing the
boards was wrong and that all of them
ought to be under a uniform system of
appointment.
ne cOMIIllSSlOH DeUeNSU lndC the
head of bureau was the best qualified
person to pass upon the efficiency of a
clerk, and that he ought not to be ham
pered in removing a clerk for ineffi-
cheney. If permitted to do so, he could
remove at least 100 clerks from his
office without affecting the efficiency of
the force.
He thought it would be desirable to
have a definite tenure of Office not ex-
ceeding ten years, so that every year
about 10 per cent of new blood could
be infused into the force. This would
do away with the abuses resulting
from some clerks remaining in Office
too long.
The commissioner thought some re-
form would have to be enacted, or the
country would have the infection of a
civil pension list. He believed it was a
mistake to include in the classified ser
vice the special examiners, medical
boards, chiefs of divisions and all 9TH
ers receiving salaries exceeding ST. 400.

FEDERAL RELIEF FOR YUKON
ALGER's KNOWLEDGE OF GRUB
STAKE OUTFITS.
The Reindeer idea Does Not Make
Him Forget the Solid Comfort In
Canned Provisions.

Washington, Dec. 20.-Secretary AL
ger today cabled to William Akellmann,
the chief government reindeer herder,
who is now in Alien, Norway, to inform
the war department Immediately how
soon 600 reindeer can be shipped to
this country. These are wanted for
use as draft animals in getting sup
plies to the miners in the klondike
region. 1t is expected that they must
be transferred at New York to the
railroads, and in that manner carried
across the continent and again by sea
from the Pacific coast up to Dyea or
some other point that may be selected
as the base of operations by the eX-
petitions.
Secretary Alger has determined af-
ter advising with the medical officers
Of the war department and persons
who have had much experience in Arc
tic regions, to make large use of con-
densed food preparations. Not only
will the meats taken be in the most
concentrated form, but particular eff
forts are making to secure condensed
preparations of vegetables, such as
potatoes and onions.
Secretary Alger has begun an in
quiry to ascertain the amount of such
stores available for purchase by the
government and the prices demanded
for them. The state department has
already asked the British government
to request of the Canadian government
permission to pass their stores through
Canadian territory free of duty. 1t is
anticipated that no objection will be
made to granting the request nor the
accompanying requests that were made
for our soldiers to pass over Canadian
territory as guards for the expedition,
although an order Of the privy council
will be required for the suspension of
duties

Description of Kassala Now In Brit
ish Hands.

London, Dec. 20.-Parsons Pasha and
other officers have arrived at Kassala to
arrange to take over the place from the
Italians. The troops viii not arrive there
until Thursday.
The town of Kassala, which, under an
agreement between the Italian and Brit
ish governments, is about to be taken over
by the latter in the interest Of Egypt, IS
one of The three keys to the Soudan, the
others being Dongola and Berher. It is
an important Stratogicat center between
the river Nile and the Red sea, situated
on torrent named Elgarsen, which. dur
ing the rains is 400 or 100 yards in width,
and Dortects one face of fthe defenses.
When the Egyptians first occupied the
town they fortified it and made it "a place
of arms against the Apyssini2ns. On the
outbreak of the Mahdi revolution a force
under Osman Digna was sent to capture
Kassala, then held by q small detachment
of Egyptians under Mudir Ahnlid- Bey
Ifal. For % months Ahmid held out he
roically against the deryishes, frequently
Sallylng forth in search of food
On one occasion the starving garrison
made q sortie and succeeded in capturing
1000 head of cattle against overwhelming
odds.
When at length all the ammunition was
gone Ahmid surrendered, in September,
1850 on condition that the lives of the in
habitants and soldiers should be spared.
In spite of a promise to respect the con-
dition the derVishes committed terrible
atrocities, and Osman Digna had several
of the officers executed.
In 1891. when Great Britain and Italy
settled their boundary in East Africa, the
latter power was permitted to occupy
Kassala until such time as the Egyptians
should be in position OF resume possess
sion of the town. In 1884 General Barateri
availed himself of this permission and
captured it by brilliant attack
On May s, 1886. the Italian government,
answering a question in the chamber of
deputies announced that Kassala would
be retained, as it was to Italy's interest
TO fulfill claims to Great Britain's friend
ship, which il is understood called for the
holding of Kassala by Italian troops, but
even then it was believed Italy would hold
the place only temporarily. Since that
time events have caused the practical
abandonment of Italys colonial ton
schemes in Africa. and Kassala, there
fore, is to be occupied by the British
Parsons Pasha takes with him a bat
talon of infantry and detachments of
artillery, engineers and a camel corps,
altogether about 1900 men. The force was
embarked at Suakim in the latter part of
last month and carried to Massowah. the
chief port of Abyssinnia, from which
point It is marching overland. All the
diplomatic arrangements for the cession
of Kassala to Great Britain had been
completed before the end of September
last.

VALUE OF KITES.
In Measuring Velocity
of Wind.

Experiments In Measuring Velocity
of Wind
New York, Dec. 2O-William A. Eddy
of Bayonne, N. J., well known as an
expert in constructing and flying kites
and in aerial photography, has just
completed a series of experiments
which he thinks prove that his kites
may be made Of the utmost value to
meteorologists and navigators.
He believes that he has established
the fact that the pull of his kites on
their strings, as indicated by a deli
cate spring balance, accurately meas
ures the velocity of the wind. and he
thinks, too, that he has demonstrated
by this means that the wind velocity
over wide region is practically the
same at not a very great height above
the ground, where the effect of the
Irregularities of the earth's surface up
on the atmospheric movements is an
nulled.

JOE PERRAULT'S STAND.
Idaho Federal Officer Bucks Against
Civil Service.

Boise, Ida, Dec. 20.-Surveyor Gen
eral Joseph Perrault is in revolt
against the civil service law and the
interior department. He has been at
war with the civil service regulations
ever since he went into office. When
he went in he chopped off the heads
of nearly all the clerks and the appli-
cation of these for reinstatement is
still pending. Two or three of the men
resigned.
Mr. Perrault has now received no
tice that Frank c. Whitthorne has
been transferred by the interior de-
partment from the surveyor generals
office in the state of Washington to
the office here under the civil service
rules. Mr.. Perrault has written the
department that he will not permit
Whitthor1e to take a place in his Of
fee. He does not propose, he says, to
have any employees sent to him under
civil service rules or any other rules.

DISASTROUS FIRE.
Big Auditorium In Kansas City Is
Doomed.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 21.-Fire
broke out at lis o'clock this morning
in the big auditorium building, at
Ninth and Holmes, which contains the
biggest theatre in Kansas City, and
one of the big hotels. The fire origi-
mated in the servants quarters, on the
sixth floor of the hotel. Though the
greatest excitement prevailed among
the guests of the hotel, no one was
hurt in the panic which followed the
alarm of fire.
At 1:4O. the fire was believed to be
under control. but at 1855 the flames
have burst forth again and seem to
be making headway against the eff
forts of the fiIemen.
At 2:10 O'Clock the fire has eaten
down into the fourth story of the
building and it is believed the entire
structure is doomed.
All persons have been ordered out of
the building. The guests on the lower
floors of the hotel have succeeded in
saving most of their personal effects.
The Auditorium building cost about
$225,100 and is owned by Alexander Fra
ger. who also owns the hotel and the
theatre furnishings.

DARING ROBBERY.
Steamships Safe Cracked and $4,000
In Silver Taken.

steamships Safe Crackeu ana Yo,OOO
In Silver Taken.
New York, Dec. 2O.-The World says:
The ward liner City of Washington
that sailed from Vera Cruz Dec. l,
has arrived in this port on Wednesday,
carrying in her strong rooms 100000
in Mexican coin. This was not an
unusually large shipment of treasury
for the Ward line to handle and no
one in authority dreamed of danger.
Nevertheless during the voyage, the
strong room. built to withstand the
attacks of almost everything but
dynamite and located Sc as to be under
constant observation, was broken into.
Only $4,000 was taken by the robbers,
but the general impression is that the
scheme of the thieves was to seize the
entire treasure.
Every effort has been made to keep
the matter quiet so that the strong
force of detectives put upon the case
by the company might work to the
best advantage. A. C. Smith, the
company's secretary, admitted that the
robbery had been committed.
A bundle of canvas, in which about
$500 of the coin was placed, was found
