MANY DIFFICULTIES.
Italian Premier Has Trouble Forming
a Cabinet.

Rome. June 20-The cabinet situation
has developed many difficulties, Pre-
mier Zanardelli being unable to get
strengthening material from the other
parties. as most of the leaders voteA
against the government, while the bese
men of the majority are already in
power. Therefore, after several attempts
at reconstruction, it has been decided
that the cabinet will remain as form
erly constituted with the exception of
Interior Minister Giolitti and Marine
Minister EettOlO.
The chamber of deputies will reas-
semble June 25, when the government
will ask for six months extension of the
existing credits, there being no time to
discuss or approve the budget before
the close of the fiscal year, June so.
This request promises to bring about
struggle. as the opposition proposes to
give the government only months ex-
tension, which it can not accept. be
cause King Victor Emmanuel has
promised to be in Paris July IS. and he
does not wish to leave Rome until after
the financial situation is settled.

Who viii bring the Deweys to Topeka
The application is for writ of
habeas corpus on the ground that the
prisoners acted in self defense in kill
ing the Rerrys. and are therefore en-
titled to be admitted to bail The ap-
plication is made by c. P. Dewey the
father Of Chauncey Dewey who has
not heretofore figured in the trouble.
Sheriff A. r. Lucas. Of Shawnee
county. was this afternoon sworn in as
a special marshal of the supreme court
and has been sent after the prisoners.
The writ is directed against Sheriff
Robert McCullock Of Cheyenne county.
and Sheriff Bradley of Sherman county.
il was made returnable forthwith, but
ir is not expected that Sheriff Lucas
can get back 20 Topeka before Tuesday
or Wednesday.
JUSTICE DID RIGHT.
The attorneys for the DeWeys do not
seem to especially blame Justice Han
for binding their clients over without
bail. for they say that public sentiment
was so suOug that he would have been
In danger had he done otherwise.
we did not ask or expect that our
clients should not be bound over said
Senator Hessin today. In fact. L think
IL would have been unwise all around
had such action been taken. in view of
the public feeling i'm Cheyenne county
this time"
If the justice of the peace had allow
ed our clients to be released on bail,
even" continued Attorney Harvey "he
would have been i'm about as much dam
ger AS Dewey and his men. Public sem
timenf is so inflamed uD there that the
justice was absolutely controlled by 1t.
and / don't think he could have done
otherwise with safety. For that reason
we made no attemput to introduce tes-
umony in order to get our men released
supreme court and ask to have our eli
ents brought here where public senu-
ment VIII not rule the court, and we
ask that they be admitted to bail"
This is doubtless a shrewd move on
the part of Hessin and Harvey to get
their clients out of the reach of mob
violence. As long as they remained in
that part of the state there was danger
that they would he lynched. Their at
tOrneys therefore did nothing that
would inhame the settlers there to sud
den action, but instead allowed the
Deweys to be bound over without bail
as the best means of satisfying public
sentiment al the time Then they hur-
ried to Topeka TO file their petition
for a writ of habeas corpus. Unlike the
usual application they ask that the
prisoners be brought before the supreme
court in person forthwith. This viii get
