Italy is Seething with a Sentiment
Against Austria.

Rome, Dec. 20.-The police of
various Italian cities had difficulty
today in preventing riotous demon
strations 1T celebrations OF the an
iversary of the execution of Ober
dank, for concoction of the unsuc-
cessful plot to asassinate Emueror
Francis Joseph of Austria in 1882.
During last night, in violation of
orders from the authorities. the
streets were placarded with posters
eulogizing Oberdrank, Leaflets also
were distributed, some of them with
mourning borders bearing the in
scription "Rember the Sacrifice of
Oberdrank."
The Republican deputy. Cole An
nj, was loudly applauded when he
delivered a speech reciting the his
tory OF the C"TristGn Martyr"l and
MS ideals and declaring that IL was
necessary soon to realize them. The
demonstr, tiCn reached its climax
when Ricotti Garibaldi son of the
FAMOUS Italian patriot arose and
leaning on his crutches, said.
"A vioce still is ringing from
Caprea Island, where my father is
buried. 1t asks for facts, not words
from the committees, promoting the
enlistment of volunteers"
AS Garibaldi ceased there was a
and cries of Long live Italy, Long
live Italy" and Long live Trieste E"
Sevreal crowds of demonstrators
but were prevented from doing so
tried to invade the center of the city
by the police and troops.
This afternoon the Republican AS
sociaton held a procession and later
unveiled marble in the Republi
cen Club, in honor of Orderdrank.

Prohibition Big Feature OF Wee
in Plans OF Congress.
Week

washington, December, 2O.-Tha
vote to be taken in this house Tues
day on rule to take up the Hobson
prohibition resolution is of over
shadowng interest in the congress
sional program of the coming week.
Debate on the rule this week proml-
ses to be spirited. Although it had
been proposed to vote also before
the holiday recess on rule for con-
sideration of woman's suffrage
amendment leaders predicted ton'gth
that that would not be reached un
til after Christmas.
House leaders say the Hobson re.
soultlon Will not receive the requir-
red two-thirds majority. In that
case Senator Sheppard later will en-
deavor to press to vote in the SEN
ate similar resolution introduc-
ed by him.
Another effort will be made i'm the
house tomorrow to get vote on
Representative Levers bill to pro-
'iue government licensing OF cotton
warehouses.
In the senate the immigration bill
remains as the unfinished business
to there is little prospect that it
~ lbe disposed of until after the ho-l
days.
The senate is expected to spend
some time in reconsideration OF the
SAFETY at sea treaty, ratified last
week after a resolution har been ad-
opted resHrving the right to impose
upon American shipping and vessels
standards than prescribed by the
convention. Chairman Stone, of the
foreign relations committee, as well
as executive officials, declare the
resolution would nullify the treay.

FRENZY OF HATRED

Declares First Lord of Admirali-

London, Dec. 20.-Winston Spen-
Ger Churchill, first lord of the ad-
miralty, in letter to the mayor OF
Scarborough, expresses the SYM
pathy of the navy at the losses sus-
tanned through the German bom-
bardment OF that place.
I'VE await with patience the op-
portunity that will surely come
continues the letter., "But, viewed
in its larger aspect, the incident is
ono Of the most instructive and en-
corraging things that has happened
in the war. Nothing proves NOR
iplainly the effectiveness of the
British naval pressure tha tthe
frenzy Of hatered aroused against
us in the breast of the enemy.
This hatred already has passed
the frontiers of reason. 1t clouds
their vision darkens their counsels
and convules their movement. We
see nation of military calculators
throwing calculation to the winds
of strategist who have lost their
sense of proportion.
practically the whole CT the fast
cruisers force of the Germans, in
Guiding some great ships that are
vital to their fleet and utterly ir-
repdacable, have been risked for the
passing pleasure of killing as many
English people as possible.
To this act of military and poll
tical folly they were impelled by
violence of feelings which could find
no other vent. This should confirm
us in our course. Their hate is n
measure of their fear. It's senseless
expression is prof of their impor-
tence and the seat OF their dishono.r
Whatever feats the German navy
may hereafter perform, the stigma
of baby killers of Scarborough will
brand its officers and men while sail
ors sail to sea-
