ITALIAN CABINETS PROGRAMME.
Important Changes in Social, Economic and
Financial Systems Planned.

Rome. Dec. 1.-The new Cabinet presented
itself to Parliament to-day. About four hum
dred Deputies were present in the chamber
Much interest was manifested in the announce
ment of the governments policy, which was
read by Premier Giolitti 1t began by a ref
erence to the illness of former Premier lamar
delli. and expressing warm wishes for his re-
covery.
The Premier said the government would con-
tnue the policy of liberty which was begun
when he was Minister of the Interior, and would
make social economic and financial reforms.
The negotiations for the renewal of commercial
treaties with Austria Hungary, Germany and
Switzerland would be the basis of advantages
for Italian agriculture The rate of interest on
government bonds would be Immediately re-
duced. which would result in gain of S1,2OOOoO
yearly. The government was preparing for a
similar reduction in the rate of interest of the
per cent State bonds which would effect saw
ing of SSOO0000.
The proposed legislation included measures to
have the railroads. If necessary, pass under the
direct control OF the State: a series of measures
for economic reforms. especially in Southern
Italy, and ultimately for fiscal reforms by max
ing taxes proportionate to the wealth of the tax
payers; a bill providing for the abolition Of
forced doincile. and a bill making Sunday an
obligatory day of rest.
Referring to foreign relations, the Premier
said those of Italy with all the powers were of
the best, as proved by the splendid receptions
recently accorded to the Italian sovereigns by
France and Great Britain.
1t is expected that the governments pro-
gramme will be heatedly discussed, and that a
vote on the subject will be taken on Saturday.

THE DREYFUS REVISION CASE.
A Tissue of Falsehoods Said to Have Con-
victed Him at Rennes.

Paris. Dec. France is looking forward with
the gravest interest to the meeting tomorrow of
the commission which will advise the Minister of
Justice NJ Vale, on the question whether he
shall shall not grant Dreyfus's appeal for the
revision of the sentence of the court martial at
Rennes.
The government believes the commission will
advise revision. and is prepared to submit the
case to the Court of Cessation, which can rec
ommend it to the Council of War, but which. it
is believed. will itself render decision. The
latter course NJ. Clemenceau and others regard
as CONTRARY to the law. NJ. Durand, president of
the commission, said to-day:
Though the commission will assemble to-
morrow ii will not then consider the Dreytus
petition. 1t has eight cases TO consider before
taking up the Dreyfus petition. Consequently
there will be delay in the submission of its
report to NJ. Vale.
A semi-ministerial publication gives state
ment showing the reasons which induced Gen.
eral Andre to faver revision after his investl-
CATION extending five months, during which
time a number of persons were examined. ! 1t
was found that several witnesses testified falsely
before the court which tried Dreyfus. The
statement ends as follows:
Finally. an exceptionally important fact devei-
oped. II Is that there is no real proof. material
or moral, existing against the former captain.
and all the prescriptions of guilt against Major
Esterhazy were found, on the other hand, to be
justified
Dreyfus is not expected to be called before the
commission Tomorrow. He has been living
quietly at his home on the Boulevard Males
herbes. It is said that he derives income
from the sale of his book, which has netted him
several hundred thousand francs 1t is known
