tnat no reinforcements for the routed army In Abyssinia would be prmitte.1 to 'eaye their homes. To prevent the reserves, who had been called out, from leaving Pavia, the mob thero tore up the railroad tracks cut telegraph wires and pulled down the poles and threw them into the river. The rioters were not dispersed until they had been charged by a squadron of cavalry. The same thin happened in other towns where recruits were on the point of starting lor sun embarking post. At Milan a large mob marched through the principal streets last night smashing windows right and left, yelling execrations on Crispl and hL Ministers and calling for the trial ani prompt execution of General UaratierL The rioters made their way -to the railway station with the intention of preventing the departure from Milan of the arrny reserve of that city and neishborhood. belonging to the class of 1872. But, anticipating trouble, the authorities kept the men in the barracks and sent a regiment of Infantry to guard the railroad station. These precautions only served to Increase the excitement of the mob leaders and un attempt was made to break into the depot. A number of sharp encounters between the rioter? and the soldiers and police followed. The soldiers and carbineers were pelted with stones and the points of the bayonets and swords were used to dive back the crowds. A number of soldiers and policemen were Injured and scores of rioters were slightly wounded. The disturbances continued until 2 o'clock in the morning, at which time the troops, at the point of the bayonet, had cleared the railroad station and its neighborhood of rioters and established a cordon of soldiers about it, -while guarding with strong pickets all the approaches. The troops remained on duty ail night. There was also serious rioting at Parma last night. Th municipal buildings were besieged by angry mobs and windows were smashed. There were a number of lively fights between the police and the populace and the troops were compelled to fire a vclley over the heads of the most riotous of the moba. Ihls dampened the ardor of the rioters, who scattered In all directions, pursued by the carbineers, who succeeded in arresting several of the leaders of the disturbances. They will be kept prisoners until the popular excitement subsides. The students of Pisa Invaded the railroad station here last evening as a result of a report having been circulated that the artillery of the garrison of that place was to be transferred to Naples for shipment to Africa. They marched in procession to the depot shouting "Down with Crispl!" "Get uj back our soldiers!" "Death to XJaratieri!" etc The local authorities, however, proved equal to the occasion. A strong force of police was sent to the station and the students were dispersed after burning all the copies obtainable of the government newspaper organs and smashing a few windows. The Popolo "Romano this morning refers to the fact that considerable anxiety Is felt for the safetv of the Italian gari3on of Adij?rat and another great disaster is feared. The troops there. It is admitted, have only three days' supply of provisions and they are known to be surrounded by the Shoan army. Unless promptly relieved, Adigrat. It 1j said, roust fall, and a further massacre of Italian soldiers may follow. General lialdissera, who has relieved General liaratieri of the command of the Italian army In Africa. Is well aware of the desperate situation of the garrison of Adigrat and is locked on to spare no effort to relieve that place. But the question which 13 in every body's mind here is: Will the Italian commander be able to collect a sufficient force of troops to accomplish his purpose, taking Into consideration the demoralized condition of the African troops? The work of dispatching reinforcements to Massbwah is being rushed with praiseworthy vigor despite the opposition of the people here. On board the chartered transports, sangs of men relieve each other so that fitting out of these vessels la continued day and night. The army reserve men of the class of 1S72. just called to the colors, will, so soon aa equipped, relieve regiments now doing garrison duty and the soldiers thus rendered available for active service will tie shipped to Africa as rapidly as possible unless the Incoming Ministry makes a coxplete change In the colonial policy of th country. - Among military men there. Is a strong sentiment in favor of pushing the campaign In Africa to the utmost, even if It is necessary to call out all the army reserves and Bend fifty thousand additional troops to Abyssinia. But the soberminded representatives of the business community advocate a Folicy of peace even if It is necessary for taly's pride to suffer In order to obtain these ends.. The masses, as a rule, are opposed to any further sacrifices of the lives of Italian soldiers, and they are in

sympathy with those who favor a com r, pete change in the colonial policy or Italy, n the meanwhile the financial situation 13 alarming and this it is hoped may have the tffect of brirging about the adoption of a policy of conciliation and economy.

Tne increase in the German lines 1 more than four dollars. One agent, when asked, to-day, why the Increase was made. said: "There are several reasons. One is that this will, in all probability, be a record-breaking year for third-class business. The steamship lines will have more demands fcr steerage room than they can possibly handle. Another reason Is -that the restrictions placed on Immigration, the TL head tax, which we have to pay the gov ernment, coupled with the fac that we are rorcea to return many at our own expenses. has made the transportation of immigrants unprintable at the old rates.

THE FIUST NATIONAL DARK HORSE

Dr. Shepardson Reviews the Adminis tration of James lv. I'olk. The lecture in the university extension course last eveninsr at Memorial Hall by Dr. Shepardson was about James K. Polk two acts of his " administration. the annexation of Texas and the boundary line of Oregon being the particular points of the lecture. These were prefaced by a brief history of the election of Polk to the presidency. He was the first dark horse in the Nation's history. It Was just at the time that the telegraph had come Into use, and the news coming from the different points of the country saying that Polk was aht-ad was surprising to the people. ie naa served In the Legislature, was fourteen years In Congress and was twice Speaker of the House. He was the only Speaker ever elected fto the presidency. It was during the campaign of 18U that the campaign cry, "Fifty-four forty or fight," with its alliteration, came in. Polk had a wonderf il power of secrecy, and It is said that even his most intimate friends did not know what he thought. Dr. Shervardaon reviewed the history of Texas and dwelt at some length on the history of General Santa Anna with the fctate. The battle of San Jacinto set tled in twenty minutes the Independence of Texas. The United States then turned around and paid Mexico for the Territory, a proceeding most ainusual. The boundary line of Oregon wasa disputed point which was settled during Polk's administration. The territory was claimed by Spain, England, Russia, France and the United States. He characterized the history of Oregon as the most romantic in that of the United States. This afternoon Dr. Sheoardson will begin a series of lectures on social life of New England. They will be given each Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock exceDt the fifth. which will be Sunday afternoon, March 23. iioiaers of university extension red tickets are entitled to the lectures. THE REMONSTRANCE CUT DOWN. Louis Martin Finally Gets a License to Sell Liquor. The County Commissioners yesterday granted Louis Martin a'license to sell liquor on Clifford avenue. Some of the citizens of the First ward, who are opposed to saloons. got up a remonstrance against Martin and filed it with the -board. The Nicholson law requires a remonstrance to be signed by a majority of the le?al voters in the ward and those Interested" in the petition thought they had the requisite number. When the commissioners came to consider the remonstrance, Thursday, they found that a number of these who signed it desired their names taken off and that several signatures had been placed on the petition irregularly. At noon yesterday a' sufficient number of names had been removed to cut the list down to six less than a majority of voters and the license was granted. AMUSEMENTS. Empire "Denver Cd Smith. The company of vaudeville peoole at the Empire for yesterday and to-day 13 billed as headed by Denver Ed Smith, advertised as the champion heavyweight of America, ,but from the quality of the exhibition given. It would appear that Mr. Smith lacks a deal of being at the head of the company. The Vaudeville features are excellent. The three Ftackett Brothers, In the "Musical Haymakers," extract some real music from a threshing machine, two "barrels and a tub, besides a -most realistic imitation of a locomotive. In addition ? they are vocalists. Ermani's "Chameleon" skirt dance, with lime light3, Is a piece of very pretty work. Khernes and Cole's German sketch Is new and amusing. Like Sam Bernard, Khernes gets into trouble with the orchestra, though his "business" is different-to a considerable extent. Prof ersor Shermart exhibits a herd of trained goats that,' especially in view of their 16-to-l beards, snow a remarkable amount of intelligence and tractaDllity. Others of the company are the Putnam Sisters,' a pair of sweet-voiced singers; Curtis and Gordon. "Twentieth Century Sports;" Lizzie Sherman, a clever singer and dancer, and Martin Welch, contortionist. After the performance an exhibition cf Innocuous and easj'-golng boxing. was given by "Denver" Edward and his 'sparring partner, "Con" Riley, of Ohio.

"Sowing the Wind" has a strong hold on members of the fair sex, and very naturally, for they are greatly In sympathy with th.j sentiment of the play. There will be a house full cf them-at the Grand this afternoon, the advance sale- ehowing that the matlneo will be one of the largest of the season. The engagement of Charles Frohman's company in Sydney Grundy's play closes to-night. r r The children wlll start early and In droves for the dog and pony show at English's this afternoon. ' School has kept thousands-of them away from the afternoon performances, jbut to-day they will be on hand. The show continues all next week at English's.. It is the best of its kind ever seen here. The Byrons presented "The Inside Track" at the Park yesterday, and the audiences seemed to enjoy the revival of this popular play quite as much as "The Ups and Downs." It is excellently acted, and will be repeated this afternoon and to-night. Weber & Field's company, with the well-known Garneluas. come Monday for three days in "The Trolley Party," a .farce comedy. The story of "Pudd'nhead Wilson" is Interesting because it Is unconventional. Mark Twain's description of the adventures of Tom and Chambers, who were mixed up as babies by their negro nurse, is full of dramatic material, as is the subsequent identification of them by Pudd'nhead Wilson's theory, that of the markings on their thumbs. The play, with Frank Mayo in the title role, will be at the Grand aZ next week, with matinees Wednesday and Saturday. . Fully alive to the importance attaching to stage settings and costumes, Fanny Davenport has spared neither expense nor pains to make the prodrctlon of Sardou's "Gismonda." which she will present at English's Opera House for five nights and Saturday matinee, commencing Monday, March 13, as elaborate as possible from the scenic point of view. The advance sale opens next Thursday. 1 iCITY NEWS NOTES.

Smoke from the fire filled the raoms at Ncs. 92, 94 and 96 and it wias thought for a time that a bad fire was under headway. The fire department arrived within one minute after the alarm was mounded. Chief Webster scon located tne fire in the ceKar of No; 96, as rmolte wa pouring up through the fron: grating. A line cf hose was laid to the basement and the fire was put cut ia a short time. McCurdy & Smith were unable to make an estimate of their less last night, but think it will not exceed ti.090, and that it may be considerably less. The Iojs is fully covered by insurance.

fear that a valuable dynamo in the' rear of tne basement has been damaged. Proprietor Hull, of English's Hotel, owks that the fire was caused by a grounded electric wire, but McCurdy & Smith say the basement- waa recently rewired and they do not talnk this theory is correct. ESCAPED PRISONERS RECAPTURED. Two aicn Who Ieft the Workhouse Cauaht at Pittsburg. Charles Adams and Harry Williams, alias Hamlin, who escaped from the workhouse on the 20th of last month, have been recaptured in Pittsburg, Pa., according to Information received by Superintendent Colbert yersterday. Detective Splan departed for Pittsburg this morning, with instructions to bring the fugitives here. Adams and Williams escaped from the workhouse by sawing an iron bar at a fourth story window of the cell house and letting themselves down to the' ground by a rope made of sheets. They were sent there to serve a year's sentence each some time ago, after sandbagging a night watchman. At the workhouse they were Intrusted with the duties of "cell bosses," and made use of their liberty to escape. Since that time Frank Smock, the workhouse barber, and William Druly, another "cell boss," have been kept in close confinement for alleged complicity in the escape. When they are returned to the workhouse Williams and" Adams will be kept in close confinement, and will be denied the considerations usually extended to long-time prisoners. MUNICIPAL MATTERS. Son. 'Wiser than the Father Friends of J. Q. Van Winkle, general superintendent of the Big Four system, are having a laugh at his expense. A few days ago he happened to be in the courthouse, and concluded he would surprise his son by buying a bicycle license for him. He paid over his dollar and secured the license in the name of Neel Van Winkle. When he went home that evening he pulled the paper and nickel-plated check from his pocket and handed them to his son, with the remark that the boy could save his own dollar. As soon as Neel saw the paper he burst into a loud laugh. "You're a jay," he said, "you would better turn over your pocketbook to me for safekeeping, and I may be able to save a little of your money for you. I am not fourteen years old and don't need a license to ride a bicycle." The boy kept the license, however, and yesterday returned it to the controller, had the name changed to that of a friend who was in need of a license, and then sold it for $1, which he pocketed as his share of the joke. Final Action on Resolutions. Final action was taken yesterday by- the Board of Works on the resolution for brick sidewalks on Quincey street, from Michigan avenue to Bates street, and on the resolution to pave with asphalt East street, from Washington to Ohio street; for cement sidewalks on Kentucky avenue, from Maryland to Missouri street, and for the improvement of Jupiter street, from Brookside to Orchard avenue. Resolutions for the following Improvements were ordered: For brick pavement on Columbia alley, from Ohio to Michigan street. For cement sidewalks next to the curb on Vermont street, from East to We.n street. For cement sidewalks on Fourteenth street, from Capitol to Central avenue. Resrnlar Fire Department Rumor. The oft repeated rumor that the fire department is to be reorganized and some wholesale discharges made, has become current again. If there is any truth in it the city officials are good keepers of secrets, for not a'- word can be had from any of them regarding it. The fact that there are several men in the department who cannot keep even with th? world and have had bills against them presented to the board, while others have assigned their prospective. monthly salary, has had something to do with the rumor of the change. Remonstrance Against Cement. A remonstrance was presented to the Board of Works yesterday by property owners on State street, objecting to a cement walk on the west side, from Prospect street to the C, H. & D. railroad. These remonslrators petitioned for brick and the petition was granted. Later a petition for cement came in, and it was granted, overruling the other orde Now the original petitioners object. A remonstrance against cement walks on Kentuck avenue and one against a local sewer in South Capitol avenue were also received. Power to a. Dismissed Policeman. On the petition of J. W. Riley and W. A. Sullivan, Thomas J. Simpson, the patrolman who was dismissed for his connection with the arrest of a woman, which was afterwards supposed to be part of a blackmailing scheme, was granted special police powers. This was done by Mr. Maguire without the application having been passed upon by Superintendent Colbert, which, according to the rules of the board, should have been done. t For n Drinking Fountain.

The Italians Meddled. Philadelphia Times. The Italians never had any business to meddle in Africa. It was only because the other nations were colonizing or grabbing land there that Italy thought she must take a hand In the game. It would give occupation to a part of her big and costly army. The particular section that the ether powers had left for Italy was just the part that those of them that had had experience preferred to let- alone. The brave Highlanders of Abyssinia, who date back their kingdom to the Queen of Sheba that visited Solomon, and who almost alone bade defiance to Islam, were not likely to btcome docile subjects of -a European state. Though the Italians did assume a sort of protectorate over them, its acceptance was based upon the Abyssinlans having their own way, and when the Italians undertook to encroach unduly upon Menekk's territory they soon found that It was they, not he, that required protection. They Don't Dare. Philadelphia Inquirer. When a man is suggested as a candidate for President people begin to speak of him familiarly as "Torn" Reed, "Bill" McKlnley, "Matt" Quay and so on down through the list. But no one has yet had the temerity to refer to the Hon. Richard Olney, Secretary of State, and eke of Boston town, as "Dick." If that should be done the blood of the sacred flsh over the Massachusetts State- 2 house would freeze with horror and each particular scale would, stand on end like quills upon the fretful porcupine PcHtlferona Students.

Cheap Money Folly, Detroit Free Press. - It was the lamented Thomas II. Benton who said that he wanted the humblest workingman In the United States to be paid for his labor with a coin as pood as the money of the crowned heads of the oil world. This Is the dominant sentiment of the country today, and yet there are a large number who think that a ch-aper money is good enough for those who live by the sweat of the brow. Gold Seekers nml Dork.

The proposition to send the Indiana delegation to St. Iuis instructed, either by district or State conventions, is unwise. Today the sentiment for McKlnley is possibly dominant in the State, and It may continue. If it does there is no need of Instructions. If, for ary reason, a change sentiment should come to any considerable portion of the people after the delegates are elected and instructed, then instructions would operate as an unjust gag.
