RESERVATION OF THE' ITALIAN CABINET
 BRINGS NEW CRISIS.
Following a Vote Which Showed Lack of Confi- dence in Cabinet the
 Members Resign

London, June 1.-The Italian cabinet, headed by Premier Salandra, resigned today. This action resulted from the failure of the Chamber of Deputies yes- teroay to pass a vote of confidence in the government after the presentation of the budget of the ministry of the interior CTS.
 A Rome dispatch received here today by wireless said the ministerial crisis would soon be ended. All political par ties, 1t was contended, favored a na- tional ministry containing Baron Son nino, the minister of foreign affairs, and the present military ministers.
 All parties agree that the new Italian cabinet must have national character. It is suggested that it comprise all the leading statesmen with 8 view to uniting in the supreme struggle all political opinions except that of che Intransigeant war as a principle. From all sides .. rapid solution of the crisis is urged on the gravity of the moment.
 King Victor Emmanuel, besides criticiz- ing Antonio Salandra, the resignng pre- mier will seek the views of Baron Son. niDo, the foreign minister, the presidents of the Senate and the Chamber of Depu- ties, and the wearers of the Collar of the Order of Annunziata, including eX-Pre- miers G1olitti and Luzzatti.

BUSINESS IS HEAVY IN STEEL Russia Enters Market With Large Orders France
 Also in It

New York, June 11.-Export business is by far the most interesting phase of the steel industry at the moment. Italian state railways during the week ordered SS,000 tons of rails from the United States Steel Products company and Italy has bought~20 0,0O0 to 25,O0O tons Bessemer and basic pig iron from Pennsylvania fur. naces. France has placed several orders for projectiles in New Jersey and Vir- ginia requiring about 12,O00 tons of forg. ipgs, billets and steel rounds. Russia is in the market for about 175,000 tons of barbed wire and France is developing plans for placing heavy orders for billets, slabs and rounds for 1917 shipment.
 It is worthy of note that with the ex. ception of marine steel, all of the im- sportant contracts for export thus far placed are for delivery in 1916, but the heavy business now pending will call for next years shipments. In the ag- gregate fully 1000, 900 tons will be required to meet foreign demands.
 The United States Steel corporation Saturday reported an increase of 10S,2H tons in thrilled orders in May, making total of 9,937,798 tons, now carried by the various subsidiary companies. The May output of steel ingots was approxi- mately 1,800.000 tons and of rolled steel 1,490,000 tons. Shipments of finished pro- ducts were estimated at 1,S50O00 tons, and the orders booked at l. 45S, 600 tons. Do nestle railroads are showing more in- terest in the purchase of railroad equip ment. The Denver and Rio Grande has ordered 800 more box cars, the Baltimore and Ohio and the Southern railway each 1000 box cars, the Pennsylvania has come into the market for 5000 gondola cars and the Virginia railway has given sample orders for four gondola cars preparatory to placing orders for 15o0 cars. The Union Pacific has placed another order for rails, about 25,000 tons, and a Southern road has bought 10000 tons from an east ern mill The principal feature Of in- terest in structural work was the talk ing of bids on nearly 53,000 tons of steel for subway and elevated railroad exten- sions in New York city contracts for which probably will be placed in the near future. Steel building and bridge work was light.

WEEKLY REVIEW 0F . THE STOCK MARKET.

New York, June 11.-Wall street opera results of the political conventions in doubt when Saturdays session ended.
 Cautious dealings were restricted to the trading element High grade rails ad- vanced substantially, but the motor group and it's accessories were under the re- straints imposed by banking interests. Further progress was reported, however, toward the completion of several large mergers in that industry.
 There was marked revival of specula- tive interest in some of the low priced railway shares Southern and south western issues shared to an unusual de- gree in this movement. Coalers were the outstanding features of that division with Norfolk and Western at the new high price of 1375s.
 United States Steel recovered much of it's former prominence on the rise to S6A and shares of independent steel and iron companies were increasingly active at IT, regular gains. Coppers made only langu1d response to the declaration of numerous increased or extra dividends.
 Shipping shares were conspicuous for their further gains with new records for Mercantile Marine preferred and United Fruit. Other new rnaximums included some of the sugar issues and United States Smelling.
 Foreign exchange markets were little changed.
 A temporary advance in call money to per cent was ascribed in part to an ex- tensive loan made by local bankers to British interests. Time loans and mer- cantile paper rates also stiffened.

T was reported by the manage
 ment of the Majestic theatre
 yesterday that over 5000 adult persons paid admissions to sec the screen performance of Where Are My Children?" And all who saw this latest thriller were more than satisfied in regards to the enter tainment received.
 Where Are My Children?" is a picture which takes the form of propaganda against the social but terfly type of wife which constant ly refuses to have children. through cowardice and selfishness. There are no sensational situations. but the story is well handled toward a definite climax, which really brings home a vital lesson. The photoplay is almost perfect and the acting, especially that of MT. Ty- rome Power always bespeaks the thoroughly competent artist.
 Briefly sketched, the story of Where Are My Children?" con cerns District Attorney Walton, who though adoring children is childless through the selfighness of his socially perfect wife. The daughter of his housekeeper is be- trayed by his wife's brother and, confronted with the responsibility for his sin, he seeks aid and com fort from his sister. The district attorneys wife, unwilling to risk disgrace through her brothers Shands, takes the housekeepers' daughter to her personal doctor a certain Dr. Malfit. who has a sympathetic interest in ladies who are not ardent believers in the Rooseveltian philosophy. However, pr. Ma1fit falls down on the job and the girl dies, which makes 1t very embarrassing all around, as before dying, she told her mother the whole wretched truth.
 The grief crazed mother informs the district attorney, who prose- cutes the doctor and convicts him. The doctor in revenge makes pub

CHAMP CLARK VIEWS !
 SITUATION CALMLY

Washington, June 11.-speaker Champ Clark issued a statement today criticising the republicans for selecting a justice of the supreme court as candidate for the presidency and the progressives for nominating Colonel Roosevelt fin viola tion of the two term rule"
 If Colonel Roosevelt accepts the nomination of the bull moosers, Woodrow speaker. If Colonel Roosevelt declines the nomination and supports MT. Justice Hughes, it will be what my Kentucky friends call hoss race with the odds very much in favor of Woodrow W.T. son.
 Some philosophers claim there is noth- ing in luck. President Wilson's career should confound them utterly. The regu- lar republicans and the bull moosers might have agreed on some man of abii- ity who would not have been confronted with the wise and wholesome precedents of more than 8 century,

 Roosevelt and Taft combined received only i. GOO votes more than Wilson four years ago, and I be'aeve that not less than 100000 Roosevelt votes will go to Wilson this time That will be enough to elect him, as it will mean a difference of 100000 votes in the totals. The sit uation to me looks good for the demo- crats and I am certain that the Presi- dent is much stronger with the people now than he was four years ago.

BOWIE SEES WILSON AGAIN

Sydney J. Bowie. for number of years member of Congress from the Fourth district, is of the opinion that Wilson will be reelected and that the actions of the past week at Chicago will serve to make the cause of the opposition weaker with the voters of the country.
 ''Roosevelt toyed with the progress sives for a week and tried to use that party to force the republicans 70 name him." said MT. Bowie. When he final ly failed to dupe the republicans into naming him, the colonel was not will ing to go to another defeat as the stan dard bearer of the progressives alone. and he turned the back of his hand upon his former supporters.

ATTACK ON ACHIEVEMENTS

The platform will contend that legisla- tion at home and diplomatic dealings abroad have lent strong stimulus to American foreign trade; and that as re- suit industrial property has been great ly enhanced and foreign trade established on a firmer basis than ever before.
 The platform will charge that the re- publican platform is little more than an attack upon democratic achievements, of- fering no constructive policy to take the place of the measures assailed.
 Senator Stone, because of his position as chairman of the Senate foreign rela- tions committee, is generally accepted as speaking with the authority of the President on those phases of the plat form It was declared tonight that no complete platform draft had been made Besides the blanks framed by President Wilson many have been submitted by ad- ministration leaders in Congress and oth- CTS throughout the country. Some may be added as the result of the delibera- tions of the resolutions committee or the convention, but the main features of the platform are practically certain to be as outlined in the foregoing.
