sIcILIAN RIOTERS NOT
APPRAISED BY CONCESSIONS


ROME, July 26-The concession by
which former Minister of Public Instruc-
ton Nasi, who is charged with the en-
bezzlement of 100000 from the state
funds, is allowed to be imprisoned in
his own house has not appeased his
sympathizers in Sicily and the disorders
there continue.
There were riots at Messina and at
Reggie de Calabria.
At the former place the mob cut off
the public lights, damaged property and
stoned the carbineers.
Thirty persons were wounded.
At Reggie the rioters wrecked all the
windows in Cardinal Portiva's palace,
and when the commander of the car
bineers pleaded inability to dispense the
mob owing to the want of reinforce
ments the priests and seminarists hurled
bricks from the roof of the building on
the attackers heads.
The mob then tried to storm the Lib
eral club, but they were driven off by
furious volley of chairs, tables, bottles
and billiard balls.
