GREENFIELD, INDIANA SATUHDAY BVEN1NU MARCH 7 1896
AN UPRISING IN ITALY
Outbreaks Are Reported From Several Cities.
MENACING IN THE EXTREME.
The Agitation Has Spread to the Country
Districts and It Now Looks Like a Revolution Was Imminent King Humbert Trying to Arrange For a Peace Confer*
ence With Abyssinia. ROME, March 7.—The excitement and
auger of the people, brought about by the reverses sustained in Africa by the Italian army, and for which the Grispi ministry is held directly responsible, continues unabated. Mobs are still gathering throughout the various cities and towns of the kingdom, and show their displeasure by creating disorder and destroying property. A number of persons have been injured in these disturbances, and the police and military have made many arrests.
A mob at Milan marched to the railway station aud smashed the windows of that building, which they took possession of in or ier to prevent the departure of troops, which it had been reported were about to start for Africa. The report turned out to be unfounded, but that did not have the effect of quieting the mob, who continued to occupy the station. The troops finally made an assault upon the building and drove the students out. In the many scuffles which occurred several soldiers, policemen and civilians were iujured. A large number of arrests were made.
A mob gathered in Parma, which the police tried to disperse. The mob attacked the police with stones, whereupon the police fired a volley over the heads of the crowd. The mob, believing that the police were firing into them, scattered in every direction in great haste.
At Pisa the students, believing that several batteries of artillery which were leaving the place wore to start for Africa, marched in a body to the railway station, shouting: "Down with Crispi," "Give us back our soldiers,'' etc. On their way they burned copies of The Tribuna and Nazion, government organs.
The agitation has been spread to the country districts and from all sides come accounts of rioting and indignant protest, of bitter denunciation and loud cries for vengeance upon those who have been responsible for the terrible reverse to the Italian arms. The situation in some respects looks like revolution.
Sign or Bovio, in a meeting of the members of the Left, declared that the situation in the liothern part of Italy, as a result of the indignation over the African campaign and the resulting fiasco, is menacing in the extreme, and that a rising of the people was threatened at Naples.
King Humbert has already consulted with several statesmen regarding the formation of a new cabinet. Among those who have been sent for by his majesty are the presidents of the chambers, the Marquis Di Rudini, Viscount Venosta and General Ricotti. It is believed that if the king insists, Di Rudmi will attempt the formation of a ministry.
Dispatches from Massowah to the Italian papers show that the Italians fought bravely at Adowa and obeyed ore vers wherever they were well led. But they were badly organized, and there was no direct control over the distribution of the forces. The men lost heart when they saw their officers fall. Several desperate rallies were made, which might have saved the position if they had been properly supported.
The Italian officers reddened with shame and anger when the Shoans demanded their surrender, and fought to the last with sword in hand.
According to The Italia Militare, the Italian losses amounted |to 4,500, of whom 3,000 belonged to General Albertine's column.
It is positively ascertained that General Dabormida is dead. The only thing kown of General Albertine is that he fell wounded in the attack.
General Arimondi and Colonel Galliano, with 300 white soldiers, are reported to be prisoners in the hands of the Shoans.
The Italian war vessels at Massowah are prepared to act in the event of the Shoans making a descent upon Arkike
The Opinione states that Geuprai Baldissera has telegraped to the gpvem ment that the situation is very serious and that he can do nothing to relieve Adigrat. He wants means to strength on the position of Asmkria. The gov ernment has replied leaving him liberty of action, bat begging him not "to en gage the enemy except in case of ex treme necessity.
Peace Conference Proposed. LONDON, March 7.—A special dispatch
from Rome says that King Humbert has ordered Signor Franzoi to undertake a special mission to the Abyssinia Negus Menelek. Signor Franzoi believes that it is best to conclude an honorable peace with the Abyssinians and abandon the country.
NICARAGUAN REBELLION ENDED.
Leon Rebels Have Given Up Their Fight Against the Government. MANAGUA, .Nicaragua, March 7
News just received here indicates that the Leon rebels have given up their cause. Rafael A. Guiteirrez, presiient of the republic of Salvador, has telegraphed to President Zelaya of Nicaragua, informing nmi that the Leon rebels want to make terms of peace.
President Zelaya is determined that the only terms of peace he will give are that the Leomsts shall pay all the expenses of tiiu war preparations which have been necessitated by their revolt, shall give uy all their arms and that their leaders shall be tried bv courtmartial.
President Zelaya will go from here to Nagarote, the scene of tho first reverse administered to the rebels by the government orces. lie will view ne ruins of that city and will confer hew houors upon the army officers who have led so effective a campaign against the lnsur-
REVIEW OF TRADE.
R. G. Dnn A Company's Weekly Report on the Condition of Business. NEW YORK, March 7.—R. G. Dun &
Company's weekly review of trade says: The Cuban resolutions and the appointment of receivers for the Baltimore and Ohio were events of sufficient importance to affect almost any genuine market, especially for securities. It, therefore, argued either remarkable strength of conditions or an entire want of life and genuineness in the market, that the prices of the 60 most active railroad stocks, which averaged $49.74 per share Feb. 1, have never fallen since that date lower than $49.36, nor risen above $50.85 per share.
The industries all report a slightly lower range of prices, except for iron and steel products, and it is noteworthy that while combinations in structural beams and wire and cut, nails are advancing prices, the quotation for Bessemer pig has fallen to $12.40 at Pittsburg and. southern No. 2 is offered at $7.75 deliverable at Birmingham and billets have sold at $17 at Pittsburg. The bar combination which raised prices not long ago finds an increasing part of the business absorbed by outside works. The demand for no class of iron products is at this time 'brisk, but large structural business is expected in the spring, and there is still much hopefulness about railroad orders, as earnings continue to improve.
Prices of wool have declined, according to the quotations printed by Coates Brothers of Philadelphia, an average of 2.4 per cent within the month of February, presumably because of the failure of the proposed tariff bill which included duties oa wool. At present the sales are the smallest recorded for years, at the three chief markets only 3,303.000 pounds the past week, against 4,858,300 a year ago, and 6,310,600 in 1892. But domestic holders are still somewhat obstinate, because prices abroad have been raised by the Loudon sales and it is believed that the stocks of domestic wool held here awaifi.-r transactions are unusually large. There is no improvement whatever in the demand for woolen goods and a number of establishments have closed, or reduced working force. There is also a retarding effect from the further reductions have been made in prices of cotton goods, although it does not appear that the concessions have thus far been successful in calling out new business. Report are frequent that many of the largest mills are about to step production for a time in order to give the market opportunity to clear itself.
Speculation in breadstuff's has nut been particularly active, nor has tho change in prices been important. Western receipts of wheat were 2,311,333 bushels, against 1,824,933 for the same week last year, having been in February 1,069,144 bushels against 4,419,446 last year. There is sti.ll an excess over the movement of a year ago, though not so great us apjwtiy.,1 in February. On the other hand Ailuuiio exports again fail behind those of last year, amounting for the week to 1,541.135 bushels, flour included, against 1,880,222 last year. With continuing large receipts, corn remains substantially unchanged in price.
The cotton market has continued its downward movements, spots have fallen three-sixteenths again and the May Option 20 points. The receipts continue as before so large as to render quite inadmissable the low estimates of the crop of 1895, and at the same time the preparations for planting this year go on at such a scale that it is believed by many conservative observers that the crop with favoring weather may prove one of the largest on record.
Failures for the week have been 285 iii the United States, against 234 last year, and 68 in Canada, against 58 last year. SENATOR CULLOM !N~THE RACE. He Will Be a CanlilaU- V'or t' -»vidciit Before the St. Louis Convention.
WASHINGTON, March 7.—When asked for an authoritative statement as to the various reports concerning his candidacy for the presidency Senator Cullom of Illinois said:. "After due consideration and careful investigation of the situation I have said to the people of Illinois that I should deem it a high honor to have the support of my state delegation at the St. Louis convention. I am a candididate to that extent and I may add that I now see no reason why I should not continue to be a candidate. In making this announcement I desire that it should ..be understood explicitly that in entering the race I do not become a party to any scheme. I do not do.it far the purpose of hurting or helping any other a&pirant except insofar as my own success might have that effect. I have gone into the contest simply because I consider the ambition a worthy one and will take my chances with others in the final result.''
Governor Pattison Declines to Talk. PHILADELPHIA, March 7. When
asked whether or not he is a candidate for the Democratic nomination for the presidency, ex-Govornor Robert E. Pattison replied: "I appreciate greatly the compliment which has been accorded me by the mention of my name in connection with the nomination for the presidency, by the resolutions of the recent gatherings of the Democracy in Pennsylvania, but I must decline, at this time, to discuss the question."
