WIDL RUMORS HEARD
OF REVOLT SPIRIT
Even the Reigning House
Is Said to Be Involved
in the Plans

Rome. Nov. 24.-Tomassi Tfttoni,
Italian foreign minister has resigned
and Niterio Scialoia, minister without
portfolio, has been named to succeed
him, according to the Epoca.
Rome, Friday, Nov, 2l tBy the Asso-
ciated Press -Rumors Of the widest
character regarding the possibility OF a
very serious crisis, involving not only
the cabinet but also the reigning house
of Italy, are in circulation as the open
ing of Parliament, set for Dec. ], ap-
proaches.
The Socialists, proud of their recent
victory. are eager to continue what
they call their march forward" The
older, more authoritative members of
the party, however, such as Deputy
Turati, leader of the Intransigeants,
Deputy LEVER, and Signor Modigliana,
are against any excesses
The new elements which have entered
the Socialist parliamentary group are
declared to be animated by revolution
airy sentiments and to favor an ex-
treme policy which, in their opinion,
will inevitably lead to the advent OF
bolsheyism in Italy. This section is
now undoubtedly the most numerous if
not the most Important one in the
party. 1t is considered that it will al
most certainly assume command Of the
party because Of the audacity and de-
termination of its members to attain
control by whatever means seems best
to them.
Members of this section are quoted
as declaring that, comprising as they
do, l50 'liYe wires" among the $50
deputies, the remainder will not dare
oppose them and that they viii be able
to accomplish some supreme act of
rebellion which will overthrow the tot
tering government Of the bourgoisie."
Formerly the Socialists never attend
ed the opening of Parliament, absent.
ing themselves so that they might
avoid being present when the king de
livered his speech from the throne, and
to escape taking the prescribed oath
in the kings presence. The newly elect
cd Extreme Socialists, however, now
insist that the entire group should at
tend the ceremony, hiss the king, insult
him the moment he appears, and pre-
vent him from speaking They have
even gone so far as to threaten that he
would be attacked on his way TO the
chamber or upon his return.
All this. it is pointed out, may be
much more than IS possible Of accom-.
plishment Nevertheless 1t has had the
effect of making the responsible au.
thorities restless and anxious. 1t has
been conceded among them that there
is no measure which it would be pos
sible TO take to prevent $50 members
whistling and shouting and making it
impossible for the king to be heard
The rules OF the Italian Parliament
do not provide for any such eontin-
gency as is thus threatened, for il is
stipulated that no police or armed force
can be employed in the hall where the
senators and deputies meet There
would be no means of applying eoer-
cion. as the meeting on Dec. | will
be the first gathering Of the new par
liamentary body and the rules of the
new chamber for maintaining order
will not then have been formulated
The council of ministers has been
meeting almost daily to discuss this
grave situation, as well as the Adriatic
complications.
