ROME, May 30.-The Chamber of Depu-
ties was crowded to-day TO hear the dis
cussion on the Interpolation of the attitude
Of the government towards the Vatican
protest against President Loubet's visit
Signor Mazza, Republican. called the move
of the papal secretary of state. Merry Del
VAL perfect insult. He recalled that the
Pope had not protested against the afro
cious offenses to religion in France. His
Holiness had now risen against a King who,
according to the Vatican, had stolen the
pontifical patrimony, designating his
Majesty as usurper. The note, therefore,
was a declaration of war. Signor Mazza
asked the government to take energetic &C
ton TO prevent the invasion of the church
into the kingdoms affairs. The government
had forgotten all pride and the national
dignity in answering the Vatican's insult
by giving hospitality to Cardinal Swampa
whom the King. on Saturday, sent TO b.
logna. The government permitted the peo-
pie of France 10 defend Italian rights. The
Liberals and the extreme parties applauded
and the galleries joined.

Signor Cabrins. Socialist, interrupting:

Premier Giolitti, who amidst a
breathless silence. said that the Vatican
note naturally was not communicated to
the Italian government. France had an
swered as she thought best. The affair was
one in which Italy could not interfere. The
Vatican note contained a phrase regarding
the King of Italy, but the effect produced
was such that they must be extremely glad
of the expression of that phrase. it had
offered Premier Combes the opportunity to
make a statement so flattering 10 Italian
patriotism
The crowded galleries rose and applauded
for five minutes, crying. Viva Combes.''
Signor Giolitti continued: Therefore the
unhappy phrase for Italy, the happest.
The note contained the usual protest which
the Vatican has been repeating for thirty
four years. Italy has no reason to change
her policy. She does not fear the invasion
of the congregations, she has laws to
protect herself. If these laws are INSULT
cient We will make new ones. To fear that
the country cannot protect itself against the
influences of foreign congregations is to in
suit Italians. The church and the state
must be two parallel lines, which never
meet. Both must enjoy liberty. 1t will be
worse for the church on the day that she
illegally interferes in the affairs of the
state" IApplause.1
