Rome, March :. -Signor Felice Carlo
Cavalotti, poet, dramatist, publicist
and the well-known radical member of
the chamber of deputies for Corte-
Olona, was killed here Sunday after
noon in duel with swt DIS with Signor
Macola, member of the chamber of
|'deputies and editor of the Gazzetta di
Venezia. The encounter was the out
come Of a press polemic in the columns
of the. Milan Secolo and the Gazzetta di
Fenezia. 1t took place at an unfre-
quented spot outside the Porta Maggi-
ore. Signor Macola's seconds were the
deputies Signor Guido Fusinato, pro-
fessor at the University of Turin and
member for Foltre, and Signor Carlo
Donati, advocate and member for Lon
igo. sSignor Cavalotti's seconds were
Signor Bizzoni, the publicist, and Sig
nor Tassi, member of the chamber of
deputies. Shortly before the meeting
S'gnor Cava1otti seemed in excellent
spirits and eyen jolked with his seconds.
When the word was given lie attacked
his opponent Vigorously a.& ### /.
without result, but in the third signor
Cavalotti received a thrust in the throat
that severed the jugular. At first it
was thought he was only slightlysin-
jured, but the gravity of the wound
was soon perceived on his putting his
hand to his mouth. He withdrew it
covered with blood, and could not utter
a word. The doctors and his seconds
carried him to 'Zellino and laid him on
bed in the residence of Countess
Cellaro. Tracheotomy was performed
and artificial breathing attempted, but
all efforts were useless. Signor ,Cava-
flotti expired in ten minutes without
speaking again. Signor Macola did not
receive scratch. The news on reach
ing the city caused great sensation.
Numerous deputies and friends hurried
to the spot, and. there is universal re-
gret over the tragic end Of Cavalotti.,
&signor Cavalottia made his will i'm
mediately after the duel, which was
the thirty-second he had fought. The
hedi5K: will be aembalmed and lie1n state
at his residence. The sword entered his
mouth and pierced his tongue s.,rs'l
Though political opponents. signnor
Cavalotti and Signor Macola were per
sonal friends. For this reason their
seconds tried to avoid the duel, but the
matter becoming ridiculous in the pub
lie eyes, the principals decided that
they must fight. The death of Cavalotti
is great loss to the radical party.
The late signors Felice Carlo Emanuele
Cavalott, who was a mem er5ofa a family
originally Venetian was born at Milan.
November 6, 1872 At the age of 49, having
become alreadynoted for his poetry breath
ing hatred for Austria, he threw himself
with ardor, as writertand a soldier, into the
struggle for Italian independence, taking
part In various expeditions and publish
ing in the newspapers of the day articles
and verses whose revolutionary audacity
attracted wide attention. &'a @$@@ 81
Often elected to the Italian parliament,
his career in the chamber from time to
time was signalized by mo less agitation
than the publication of his poetic efforts
More than once his interpretations and his
speeches invoked the parliamentary tenn
pests: He was lifelong opponent Of Sig
nor Crispi, and was glad to be known as
one OF the Italian politicians who resisted
with all their energies the tide which,
under the auspices Of Crispi, carried Italy
toward GERMANY 80
