ITALIAN CABINET OUT.

Rome, May 4-The Italian ministry
has resigned. Immediately upon the
opening sf the chamber or deputies
yesterday, General Pelleux. the pre-
mier and minister of the interior. ad-
dressed an attentive house. He said
that in consequence of interpretations
touching the Chinese question. the gov
ernment had been forced 10 consider the
gravity OF the situation. The effect OF
Tuesdays debate showed large minor
ity I'm the chamber OF deputies against
the action I'm China, which would be sup
ported only by weak majority. The
interruptions. however favorable to the
reverse. united in disapproving the
method followed by the government on
this occasion. Therefore, the prime min
tster- said. there could be no useful re
suit from further discussion. General
PelIeux concluded by announcing the
-asignation OF the cabinet.

DARK SIDE OF LIFE.

Washington. May 4.--The industrial
commission resumed its public hearings
here. The first witness was Florence
Kelley. for four years chief factory in-
speotor OF Illinois. Her statement dealt
particularly with sweat shops in Chi
cago. or the 200. 900 factory workers in
Illinois. she said. 10000 were in Cook
county. Practically all the ready made
clothing and murh OF the so-caled mer-
chant tailor work of the city were sweat
shop work pure and simple. The con-
ditions surror1 ding the workers were
unsanitary and harmful in marked de-
gree. Child labor. she said. was also
used in direct defiance OF the IL year age
limit in force in the state. Many OF these
little ones. she declared, worked for the
FIRST year for nothing with the promise
of 81 a Week at the end of that time a.ad
ultimately perhaps. 81 or 81 per week.

the thousands. and every available
point OF vantage was densely packed
with men, women and children, and the
scene on the streets in the vicinity OF
the fire was one almost unprecedented
i'm the history OF abe city, Sd dense was
the jam OF people. Every allyway lead
ing 10 the river and all the wharf space
in the vicinity of the blaze was literally
packed with "A frenzied mob or specta-
tors.
The danger that threatened the elec-
trio light station was the cause of send
ing I'm the second alarm. A two-storied
wooden building, the front OF which Is
occupied by the office OF the company,
was already on fire In the rear. The
first floor OF this structure is used as a
stock room for the storage OF globes
and carbons, the second story being oc-
cupied as a machine shop, but the blaze
was soon extlnguished. Once got at,
the fire on the Day star did not seem
50 hard To control and was finally van
quished. All the available hydrants
were used and the river water was also
pumped up and dashed upon the fire.
After the fro had been extinguished
II was found THAI the damage was more
serious than was at first supposed. The
loss was put at $4,000. IL was seen
that the works in the amidship section
of the steamer had suffered probably
beyond repair The. engine and boiler
are thought 10 have been ruined. From
the engine room up 10 AM nsfoss the
hurricane deck the fire had eaten
clean path. The cost OF building the
Day Star was $4,000 She was built
for the American Steamboat company
I'm 1874 and she was undergoing repairs
for the summer business OF the bag, for
which traffic she was built.
The loss on the electric light COM
pany's building will be slight although
the second floor and rear OF the build
ing were considerably burned. No cause
can be assigned to account for the fire.
Hurley, the watchman. was quoted as
saying that the first he knew OF the
fire was when the cracking of the
flames bade him fee for his life.

dence, Fall River and Newport Steam
boat company, was destroyed at the
Narragansett Electric Lighting COM
pany's wharf about . o'clock last night,
causing a loss OF sG5, 900. The blaze was
discovered near her pilot house at $3.50
O'Clock by Frank Murphy, and within
ten minutes thirteen pieces OF fire ap-
paratus were on hand. A second alarm
followed quickly. when IL was seen that
The steamer was doomed and the cleo
tric light works, which furnish power
and light for the entire city, were in
peril.
The company's office and storehouse
took fire on the water side ani were
badly damaged, but the blaze was kept
wtIhin bounds and did not reach the
power house Adjoining the steamer
lay the steamer Rambler. belonging to
the same company. The Rambler was
seerehed,- -bat-~tss- sfsiea out into the
stream and toWed TO another wharf,
not much damaged. Two barges which
lay at the bow and stern of the Day
Star escaped injury.

Hardly had he returned from the office

vigor and their outburst seemed 20 be
the signal for the ringing OF every fire
alarm i'm the circuit. The box at the
corner of Chestnut and Point streets
