One of the questions in this bin which
may arouse debate is the action of the
senate committee on appropriations in
striking out the item in the bill as 1t
came from the house limiting telephone

an effort to restore this provision.

KILLED IN A DUEL.
italian Poet Fatally Wounded In a Com.
bat with Swords.


ROME. March 7.--signor Felice Carlo
'Cavallotti, poet, dramatist, pubiicist
nnd the we'll known Radical member Of
the chamber OF deputies for Corte-Olona
was killed here yesterday afternoon in
q duel with swords with Signor Macola,
member OF the chamber OF deputies and
editor of The Gazzetta di Venezia. The
encounter was the outcome OF a press
poiemie in the columns Of the Milan
secolo and The Gazzetta di Venezia. II
took place at an unfrequented spot OUT
side the Porta Maggiore
SignorMacola's seconds were the Dep
uties Signor Guido Fusinato, a profess
sor ct the University Of Turin and
member for Feltre, and Slgnor Carlo
DOnati, advocate and member for Lo-
nigo. Signor Cavallotti's seconds were
signor Bizzoni the publicist, and signor
Tassi. member Of the chamber Of depu-
ties. Shortly before the meeting Signor
Cavallotu seemed in excellent spirits
and even joked with his seconds. When
the word was given, he attacked his
opponent vigorously.
The first two engagements We're with
out results, but in the third Signor Cav
aHotti received a thrust in the throat
that severed his jugular. AT first II
was thought that he was only slightly
injured, but the gravity of the wound
was soon perceived on his putting his
hand to his mouth. He withdrew il
severed with blood and could not utter
4 word.
The doctors and his seconds carried
him to Zellino and laid him on bed in
che residence Of the Countess Celleres
(Cellaro?. Tracheotomy was perform
ed and artificial breathing attempted,
but all efforts We're useless. Signor
CavalIotti expired in ten minutes, with
out speaking again. Signor Macola did
not receive a scratch
The news on reaching the city caused
a great sensation. Numerous Deputies
and friends hurried TO the spot, and
there is universal regret over the tragic
end Of Cavallotti.

The former bill was held up until it

been asserted some advantage of It's

has been carefully drawn and is one
satisfactory to Mr.. Cannon, chairman
of the committee on appropriations.
