GiOlitti Regains Confidence.

Today. however. they are either dead
or eliminated from public life, while CT

affair is now thoroughly recognized-by
no one more than by the KinE-has en-
urely regained the confidence of the
people. who. when Zanardelli was re-
tired from the premiership the other

Italy's New Cabinet.

While Italy's new cabinet is composed
for the greater part OF veterans Of par
liamentary life. bearing names familiar
TO the people. both throughout the king
dom and abroad. il comprises a minister
intrusted with one OF the most import
ant portfolios, who is comparatively
unknown, even in his own country,
while II Is doubtful II any of the readers
of The Times have ever heard Of him
before. Without any practical expert
ence of diplomacy. and a neophyte in
everything that relates to the affairs Of
the consulta, and to their representa-
ton in the legislature. the appointment
OF Signor Thomas Tittoni to the re-
spOnsible post OF foreign minister has
created 2 feeling of surprise that is
very widespread.
His nomination is due exclusively to
the King. The latter has long been on
terms of considerable intimacs' Nth
old Senator TittOni's son Thomas. and
81 is now recalled that when Victor
Emmanuel. while still heir apparent.
was in military command of Naples. he
took pains to obtain the appointment of
his friend to the civil gOvernorship of
that beautiful city AS in the case of
England and most other constitutional
monarchies Of the Old World, the su-
preme control OF the foreign policy of
the Italian nation remains vested in the
sovereign. The late King Humbert al
lowed this prerOgative Of the crown TO
be encroached upon. especially by those
administration OF which Crispi was the
chief. Victor Emmanuel, however. is
determined TO follow the example of
Edward VII n reviving it to the fullest
extent. and with this object in view
has taken advantage Of the recent cabi-
net crisis 20 insist upon the department
Of foreign affairs being confded TO a
man OF his own choice, and upon whom
he can absolutely rely to act in con-
1ormity with his views.

Other Cabinet Members.

The other members of the new cabinet
include Luigi Luzzati. the eminent
Israelite hnancier who negotiated the
Franco-Italian treaty of commerce. and
who is famed as one OF the leading
economists OF Europe. He holds the
same office in the Giolitti administration
as IN the last cabinet, that of
minister Of the treasury, and to him be-
longs most Of the credit for the sue
cessful reorganization of Italy's formerly
so tangled finances.
Ronchetti. the minister OF Justice, was
assistant secretary of state in the de-
partment of the interior when Giolitti
was chief thereof. and is an able lawyer
a former republican, and still on terms
of warm personal friendship with the
editor OF the MILAN Secole.3 The most
ornamental member of the cabinet Is
undoubtedly General Pedotti The min
lister Of war. Although a gallant and
able officer. yet he is much OF dandy.
and regret TO add makes use of arti-
fees Of the most transparent character
TO conceal the ''ravages of time'-that is

Such. then. is the new administration
to which Victor Emmanuel has confided
the destinies of his kingdom, and it is
deserving Of special attention as being
the only cabinet of a monarchicaI coun-
try which relies upon republicans and
Socialists for the legislative support In
dispensable to SITS existence What is
more remarkable still is that these re-
publicans and Socialists find it possible
by reason OF the enlightened and pro-
gressive policy of the King to give their
support to the Italian throne.
