ADDRESSES CIRCULAR.
Roman Minister of War Talks About
 Recent Riotinq.

Genoa, October 16-The following dis patch from Rome. evidently mutiiated by the censor, has been received here:
 '"rhe minister of war has addressed a. circular to the military authorities say ing that in the recent rioting the ex- treme party tried to induce soldiers to disregard discipline and rebel at Padua Subversive hymns were distributed to some of the soldiers, who destroyed the copies handed them, or gave them to their superiors. The subversive propa- ganda in the army is with us, but pow erless against the sense of duty, strongly rooted in the Italian army; still there is at present a grave danger which must be fought. Besides the ordinary confis- eating of all subversive publications. the minister of war advised that officers un- dertake propaganda to show the falla- cy of certain theories and for the ob- servance of laws as a guarantee of lib- erty

ENDORSE ACTION OF THE GOVERNOR Military Men Want Examina-
 ton of All Officers CLAIM KENNEDY WILL WIN Friends Say He Has Twenty-eight Votes in the Race for Lleuten-
 ant Colonel of Third
 Alabama.
CLAIM KENNEDY WILL WIN

A meeting of fourteen officers of the Third regiment, A. N G., was held last night in the city, and a number of mat ters of importance to the service were discussed.
 1 Among other things, the officers en- | dorsed the action of Governor Cunning ham recommending an examination of the officers of the regiment, as was rec commended by the military advisory board.
 The officers also passed resolution looking to an investigation into the finan- cial condition oI the regiment. There has been some talk of a Shortage in accounts
 The officers here were all friends of Captain Hughes B. Kennedy, and they claim to have twenty-eight votes for him for lieutenant colonel of the regiment. They state that there is no doubt that he will be elected.
 The election will take place tomorrow night in the armories of the eleven com panies of the regiment.
 There are two candidates for the place, Major J. L. Daniels, who is in command of the battalions of the regiment, and Captain Hughes B. Kennedy, who was formerly adjutant of the regiment, and who Is one of the oldest members of the A. N. c.
 The election may be very close, as both sides claim they will win. The friends of Captain Kennedy feel confident that he will win, and claim that they have a safe majority of the officers of the regi- ment. Birmingham, Oxford, Anniston and Talladega are expected to give him large vote, and officers in other com panies are expected to vote for him.
 On the other hand. the friends of Major Daniels have been working very hard for him, and they feel equally as confident that he will win. They are said to have pledged a great many votes for Major Daniels, and claim that he will have safe majority.
 The vacancy was caused by the resig- nation of Lieutenant Colonel Frank P. Mcconnell of Talladega, who was in command of the regiment, as Colonel E. L. Higdon has been relieved from command for nearly three years Colonel Higdon recently rendered his resignation but 1t has not been accepted, and in- formation from the capitol seems to in- dicate that the resignation will not be accepted.
 It has been rumored that the resigna- tion will be turned down, and that charges will be preferred against Colonel Higdon. His letter of resignation was considered very oaustic, and that he was severe in his handling of the policy of Governor Jelks towards him.
 The reason of Acting Governor Cum ningham's delay in accepting the resigna- ton is generally believed to be that he thought the letter reflection on Gov ernor Jelks. who Is away on account of i'll health.
