Italy IS Fearing ~> r.
Corrupt Politics
Plans Are Being Made to Change EN-
tire Present Electiral
u.s. System.

| Rome, April 14.-The numerous
disturbances and Irregularities which
! occurred at the recent general cleo
ton have led Premier Giolitti to con-
slider the desirability of amending
the present electoral system. The
chief features Of this reform will
probably be redistribution of seats
| In conformity with the last census, an
attempt to prevent corruption by
heavy fines, and the, institution OF
scruttn de liste for each Of the sixty
nine provinces, Instead of the present
plan Of scrutin d'arrondissement. :
Issues Are Pretty.
1t Is claimed that the present
! method OF election increased the Bit
terness of elections, because the main
issues are purely 'parochial, and,
therefore petty and personal. Fol-
example, no contest in Italy was more
remarkable in this respect than that
for Albano, which resolved itself In
to violent local conflict between
the little towns Of Albano and Frau,

stltutuency, the one Radical, the 9TH

found that scrutin de liste, which
existed in Italy between 1882 ana
1891, produced the results which
were expected from it.
But there can be little doubt that
a stringent corrupt practice act, If
really enforced, would purify public
life, especially If it gave the power

Differences Increased.
AS for the redistribution sc1eme,
the difficulty is that the last census
is already eight years old, and dur

further Increased the differences re-
tween the depleted southern dis

there is great lack Of proportion
between the size of the .vario us cleo

twice as many registered electors as
any Of the other four.

Swift Submarine
Fleet for Japan
John +. Holland Decides to Accent
Contract from the Far East
Government

New York, April 14.-John P.
Holland, of East Orange, inventor
of submarine boats, stated at his
home, No. IL William street, that
city, last night that he had decided to
accept the offer Of Japan to construct
submarines of the type he offered
the United States governments two
years ago.
The latter refused the new type,
Mr.. Holland said, and Japan will
build large number of fast model
boats which will have speed Of thir-
ty knots an hour. Mr.. Holland is to
receive royalty on each boat to be
built.
Japan will send draughtsmen to
the inventor, who will direct them in
preparing plans.
The new boat was rejected by the
United States government experts"
said Mr.. Holland, but the Japanese
are alert, up to date, and they are
to build a fleet Of submarines which
will be competent to lead an attack
on an enemy. The boats can accom-
pany fleet, travel across the ocean
and will be small and speedy. They
represent the latest modern inven-
ton and will be formidable in bat
tie. The Japanese authorities wrote
me six weeks ago and l will accept
their offer as soon as / am in bet
ter health"
The new boats will be small and
easily handled. Mr.. Hollands idea
OF a submarine is one agile in the
water and resembling the porpoise
and this is embodied in the new con-
struction. He says the naval au-
thorities Of Japan are almost abreast
of the times, and said the people are
50 honest in their dealings with him

REASONS or NO HOME THETmcAls.

The question has been asked several
times Of late why il was that our home
talent does not put on some theatrical
selections. and in order that the ques-
ton may be answered correctly an en-
desvor has been made to find the reas-
on.
Several Of the old dramatic member,
state that they have no encouragement
along this line. The first complaint be-
that although they arc pairopized iber-
ally they do not receive the same sup
port that tie travelling iroupes do. They
state that il is also a well known fact
that the people seem 10 like the class Of
plays carried by the visiting companies
far better than those chosen by the home
people. They seem to prefer the more
crude and suggestive. blood and ihun.
der plays to the more classic and re-
fined.
But the main reason keeping the
home people from performing Is the fact.
as stated by members Of the Cedar dra-
matte company. they feel they are
charged too high per cent for the use
Of the hall. ]. is thought by them that
when il Is taken into consideration that
the home people have to go to the ex-
pense Of eossuming each play. giving out
innumerable complimentary tickets. spend
nigh, after night in rehearins. the hall
should COS. less.
Many times in the past have q num-
Der Of the members been compelled to
pay their own way in to perform. and il
used to be no common thing for an actor
who had wife and family to pay their
admi,tance.
II the drama loving public will think
over the expense Of getting up play.
and then take into consideration there
is usually from ten to fifteen people to
receive portion Of what remains after
the legitimate expenses are paid. they
viii readily see that here is no eneour-
agemcnt Tor home talent.
