The Chamber of Deputies was thronged
when It opened today and SIg. Curalottl
caused a lively scene when the minutes ot

plained that the sitting was closed when the
extreme leu was about to submit , a'motlon.

this incident amid great excitemertt , the ex
treme left members In the meantime de
nouncing the ministers.
i Warmly IH'Icndcil Himself.
The minister of finance. Sip. Grimaldi ,
warmly defended himself neainst the at
tacks on the extreme left , declaring that ho
was an honest-man and fully as solicitous ot
public morals as his opponents. lie was
loudly applauded.
Premier Giolltti , before making the minis
terial declaration , declared that ho wished
to stuto in his own name and in the names of
his colleagues that they wished to resume
their seats in the Chamber of Deputies in
order to have lull liberty of speech.
The remarks of tuo premier caused much
excitement in the chamber , especially among
the members of the extreme loft. When
the noise had somewhat subsided , Premier
Giolitti proceeded to announce the resigna
tion of the cabinet , addintr that the king had
reserved his decision upon this important
matter and that the ministers would in the
meantime remain in ofllee.
After the dispatch of current business a
motion to aajourn was made. The extreme
left members and especially Si ? , linbriani
strongly denounced Premier Giolitti , who
warmly retorted.
Sip. Irubriani shouted : "You nave fallen
in the mud.1
To this remark-Premier Giolitti rejoined :
"Whatever efforts you make you will not
even succeed in splashing mud upon my
boots. "
This caused renewed excitement in the
chamber , during which some very hot words
were heard from the extreme left and
equally warm replies from the supporters of
the government.
doled Amid .Much Uproar.
When order Tisd ben restored the presi
dent of the Chamber called for a vote tipon
the motion to adjourn , which was approved
by the whole house with the exception of
the left. The sitting closed amid much up
roar , and afterwards it was reported that
the king was taking steps to consult the
president of the Chambers and leaders of
different parties in regard to the formation
of a new cabinet.
During the meeting the inlnlstcr of war
submitted a report as to the military posi
tion of Italy In July , IS'Jl. as compared with
her position at the present day. Tiio report
shows that the minimum peace effective has"
not changed , but that the iTiuxlmum is
greater , and that the war effective is nearly
l.OCO.OOO men , ns compared'with 701,000 at
the time mentioned. The time of moblli/a-
tion has boon reduced by six days , and the
army possesses 1.02S,000 U'otterly repeating
rifles , The artillery already has been In
creased by 230 powerful guns.
The rciwrt gives equally satisfactory de
tails regarding the various forts and coin-
inissiarat departments , and concludes by de
claring that the report Is reassuring to
Italians regarding the-enleiecy of the army ,
which was recently questioned in the news
papers.

Chancellor von Caprlvl s.xld tnat the state

added that the efforts of thoasrarian league ,
which was largely composed of conserva

withdrawals to 2U1.000.000 francs. The re
port refers to the temporary crisis at the
beginning of 1S'.U on a slight reduction of

have been political because nothing was im
paired and absolute guaranties wcro offered

multiplying in a constant progression and
the financial situation is again normal.

young members of the guard of tne republic.
The whole chamber ran ? with applause , the
socialists alone refrainiug from joining in it ,
during their brilliant attack on socialism.
The performance of M. Bartnou was a spe
cially fine one , and the students of socialism
would do well to make the acquaintance of
his words. M. Dcschamel cued parallels
from political life in England and America
as suggestive for Franco.
Confidence In the Leaders.
Loxnox , Nov. 21. The Times , in a leading
article on the.South African campaign ,
says : It is not to be supposftd that men
who have civen proof of such splendid
political aptitudes as Major Rhodes and Dr.
Jameson will frame proposals which any
statesman will feel obliged to seriously
demur to. They will know how to use the
victory which they have known bow to gain.
There may be room for negotiations on some
trifling points , but on the main issue Major
Rhodes issnro to get his own way , however
disappointed he is to havo'bsen left out in

NEW YORK , Nov. 21. The new Brazilian
cruiser America made her first move toward
the scene of her future action by moving
down to the East river this morning to a
point near Upper Bsdloes island. As much
of her preparation for warfare as could b3
done with the Morgan iron works , where
she was transferred from an ordinary pas
senger steamship to a man-ol-war , haa
been already completed and all that now
remains Is to put the destructive gunpowder
and dynamite aboard her and to ship the two
blir fifty-five pound rifles which arrived here
this morning from Europe in the White Star
liner Germanic. The mounting for ono of
these guns Is already in position. The other
mounting came on the Germanic , but as It Is
a duplicate of the ono now on Uand.jt has
been no gruat trouble to prepare for settlne
it up. The platform of wood has been con
structed on the cruiser's forward deck , and
even the bolt holes have been cut through so
that all that remains is to bolt the mount

brisk cold wind that blow steadily from
the west \yhlle the List earthly tribute was

Husk , Journeyed all the way from Indianap
olis to this little village In northwest Wis
consin , 3J3 miles west of Milwaukee , and
followed the remains to their last resting
lace , walking with The family as one of the
lourners. The obsequies were a fitting
nale of the simp e life ot Wisconsin's com-
loner , the most picturesque character the
tate has over produced.
The Utterly cold weather did not prevent
lie people of the entire surrounding country
rom attending the fuqej-al nnd many thou-
ands of strangers were present , largo dele
gations coming from the most distant parts
oj the nprthwest. Three heavy special
rams arrived during the day. The first
amo from La Crosse , the second from M.idi
on , bringing Governor Peck , most of the
tate officers , the judges of the supreme
court nnd a large number of other promi
nent people from Madison , wheae General

Private Services Yojtcrdny. .
As early as yesterday morning people 'be
gan coming to town in every imaginable con
veyance and long before noon the largest
concourse ever seen in this part of the coun
try had gathered.
The funeral arrangements were in accord
ance with the wishes of General Husk. A
> rivale and impressive ceremony was held
resterday at the residence , a modest
'rame house a milo from the town , Hev.
ueorgo M. Huzum of the Methodist church
officiating. The widrnv , four children and a
small number of sorrowing relatives and
close friends were present. Then the re-
nams , resting in a handsome but plain cedar
casket , draped with an American flag and
fairly buried under Horal emblems , was con
voyed to the llttln Methodist church in
; own. members of the Masonic fraternltv ,

of the dead soldier , stood guard while the
remains were lying Jn state all night and
the whole of the day until the time of burial.
The little church holds about 1150 peonle ,
and a continuous stream passed by tlie bier
'roin last night until the last moment today.
There were many affecting scenes as old
veterans limped by to get a farewell look at
tne tamiliarfacc , in many instances wcepins
and audibly expressing tneir grief and ser
row.
Popular with Kvery One.
General Husk was a man of wonderful
popularity witli the masses , and evidences of
the most genuine grief were to be seen on all
sides. Helooued a very giant in his coflin ,
with his long white hairs and flowing snowy
ueard , the face showing little or no emacia
tion from his long and painful illness. The
casKet was incased in a burglar proof ste- '
case , which was sealed shortly before the
burial.
The little town showed every evidence of
the great loss its people had sustained in
General Husk's death. Flags were at half
mast on the public buildings and factories ,
and nearly all Mio stores were draped in
mourning. Crape and black and whlto
buntins fluttered on all sides. Business was
entirely suspended and citizens hospitably
'
offered enicrtalntnent to the thousands o'f
strangers who had come to join with tticm
in tno last honors.
Immediately upon the arrival of the
specials Mr. Harrison and party wcro driven
to the Husk home , where they personally
offered condolence to the members of the
stricken household. Then they visited the
church , occupying the seats reserved for the
family and the distinguished strangers. An
immense crowd gathered around the little
church , many of them standing in the deep
snow with bared heads during the service ,
despite the intensely cold weather.
Sumo Tributes lit I'louern.
The floral offerings were very numerous
and beautiful and came from all parts of the
country. A number of largo designs were re
ceived from into officials associates at Wash-
inpton.from ex-President Harrison's family ,
from fellow members of the cabinetthe Loyal
Legion and the Masons , The public services
were of an extempore character and were
conducted by Hev. Air. Huzum of the Metho
dist ohuruh and Prof. I ) . Butler , a warm
personal friend of General Husk. Prof. But
ler was for many years with the Wisconsin
university and was previously n Congrega
tional minister. Ho was N ) years of ago
today and made n feeling and beautiful ad
dress , a last sad tribute to his lifelong friend.
Shortly before his death Mr. Husk had his
wife send for Prof. Butler to lielu bury
him. A choir rendered a number of favorite
selections and there were ono or two solos.
The religious services were followed by tno
reading of the beautiful burial service of the
Masonic olue lodge by H. Bensonberg , com-
raantier of Wisconsin consistory. The
Masons all were mourning. The little church
was effectively drapod. There was a largo
portrait of General Husk back of the altar
framed in crepe , and a large silk flag draped
the altar the favorite "old glory" so.allec-
tiouatcly referred to by the general in one of
his recent public addresses. ,

Brrr.u.o. Nov. 24. There was a more
cheerful air about the Ixihlgh road's general
oral offices today than has been shown since
the strike storm burst over the road. Chief
Clerk Smith said that advices from Sayro
were to the effect that passenger trains
were alt on time today and that the local
passenger service was re-established and
that there wcro good prospects for moving
freight ehst and west from tdat point today.
The strikers are encouraged by the federa
tion leaders , who are here , to keep up a con
fident bearing and declare their belief that
they will win in the end , They say that the
majority of new men are incompetent and
the company will Hud it impossible to do
business with them.
Following ten trains of merchandise sent
eastward by the Lchlgh this forenoon and
containing 117 cats three more freights were
dispatched this afternoon. This was con
sidered a prcat day's work , and the officials
said It would hardly bo" policy to scud out
any more until the ability to move them at
Sayre was manifested , 'iho stories spread
by the strikers that tlio first train had
broken down and all four trains were
blocked werrt un founded. Other statements
of strikers that new men had burned out
their engines were also found to be untrue.
It was pretty well understood today that
the action of the engineers and firemen on
the Xickel Plate and LaKe Shore roads in
handling the westbound freights delivered
to those roads by the Lchich Yalley today
would be the subject for action at tills after-
noon's meeting. The freight was handled
by nonunion men and , in accordance with
the rules of the federation , this road should
bo boycotted by union men. It seems that
the men on these roads will bo asked to go
out. The question of the hour is : Will
they do so ! If they decide to join their
brethren on the Lclilsh , the spread of tno
BtriKe seems nlnnst certain. Certainly , the
events on the Lehigh today are not such as
to encourage men oil other roads to go out.
llnpeq of a Compromise
Wii.KESiuiwn.Nov. 24. There was hope all
alonz until today that a compromise might
bo effected between the striking Lehigh men
and the company , but now that hope has
vanished. This hope was dispelled this
morning by the issuance of the following
communication to .Chairman Hice. from
Messrs. Simpson and Wnlkins , the coal
operators delegated at the operators meeting
to meet Mr. Wilbur and see if he would not
assent to u hcarinc in the matter at issue :
"In your insisting upon the reinstatement
of the employes , our negotiations for a con
ference have failed. Mr. Wilbur is standing
by his circular of November " 1 in its en
tirety. "
Mr. Rice , upon reviewing the situation ,
said : "I very much regrat that the hopes
that wo cherished yesterday of an early ad
justment of our difficulties have about
vanished. It looks like along fight , but \vo
arc proparc-d for It. "
The officials say the old employes cannot
now be received as an entirety , but they
may upoly for .and obtain work upon the
same conditions as outsiders.

Oitlet'ntTSnjreT
SATHD , Pa. , rs'ov. " 24 : This' has been a
quiet day here and the strikers this after
noon almost entirely deserted the depo ; and
.yards. They have been well behaved. Their
surprise was great when they were informed
late this afternoon that the sheriff nad sent
for 100 deputies to help guard the yards , and
the men sav there is nothing for the forty
already there to do and there is no reason
for additional drafts , except to make trouble
and then blame them for it. They assert
that every cfTort is being made to force them
to commie violence. Sheriff Powell refuses
to say what he wants the extra deputies
for. Passenger trains have been run today
with about the same regularity as yesterday
and some freight has been moved. On the
whole , however , a great deal has not been
done. The strikers have not lost a man by
desertion , but have captured quite a number
from the railroad company.
Found H Cache of Dynamite.
Rocnr.sTcii , Nov. 24. Five large cartridges
supposed to be filled with dynamite were
round beside the Lchigh tracks a little
above the railroad station today.
Each cartridge is about eight inches long
and two inches in diameter. They are not
of the ordinary kind used in blasting and no
blasting has been done in the neighborhood
recently. Ono of these cartridges would
tiavo wrecked n train if properly used.
They were tied together and evidently had
been placed hurriedly there to hide. Officers
iru at work trying to learn who is responsi
ble for the presence of the dynamite. The
strikers committee disclaim any knowledge
of the affair.
Tr.-.ins are still running irregularly with
no passenger trains. The company is still
enrolling men to take the strikers' places.

JERSEY Cuv , Nov. 24. A cold , stiff wind
whistled over the freight yards of the Le
high railroad in Jersey City today and was
the only sicn of activity that pervaded the
vicinity. There was not a person visible
who gave any indication of being a striker ,
and the puffs of engines were few and far
between. One or lwn switch engines ran up
und down the tracks , but their services
could have easily been dispensed with , it
is said iho Jersey Central has determined
not to handle the Lohiph freight and so
avoid trouble on its own lines.

Senator Hoar Spenln.
Mr. Hoar said ; "Ido not think just now
"
that there Is any "occasion for the Homo
Market club to disband. There is plenty of
work for it to do. The parly in power is
opposed to everything like good government
and opposed to every principle upon which
the happiness of the employe or employer
lopend. Thcro arc certain p-lnciplcs that
ho republican narty stands by whether
n victory or defeat. Wo believe govern-
nent is n failure unless every man
cceivcsa reasonable compensation for his
abors. Wo took this country thirty-two S
oars ago , its flag dishonored , its bonds |
below par , its credit almost gone , treason
nd revolution rampant in twelve states out

pj-osperlty. Eight short months of demo-
ratio rule and the apprehension of three

Governor-elect 'EJT 7j.Greenhalge then
spoke as follows : "One of the chief' ends
and alms of the government is to give , so
ar as the government can giye , security nnd
prosperity to every' homo in the land. And
day by day wo ara nearing the point where
apparently conflicting interests and rights
are to bo brought in Just and harmonious
relations. You cannot , adopt the easy maxim ,
'To buy in the cficapest and sell in the dear- -i ,
st maricct' until you have arranged to pay
the running expenses of your business und
made a fair adjustment of the expenses.
One of tne first steps toward giving security
and prosperity to thejiome is to give secur
ity and prosperity to The home market and
to establish Dcrraanunt ana profitable recip
rocal relations between tne American producer -

"Gentlemen , to few men in their lifetime
has God vouchsafed the great vindication
which has como to William McKinley. They
that sat within the gate spoke ngain&t him ,
and ho hud become the bong of the drunk
ards. Now his vindication has been berne to
Iho 'our corners of the earth on the volco of
millions , among which rose high and clear
the pure voice of Massachusetts. The
vindication of another great loader
of the party began oven earlier.'tho leader
of the parliamentary reform , Thomas B 'i
Reed. Not only was ho tbe great speaker of
ihe Fifty-first congress , but ho became the
real speaker of the Fifty-second and Mfty-
third congresses , if nnyihlng was to bo
dono. But over and above all stands thu
vindication of tlio party. In ISM , the people -
plo , hasty nnd impatient , served notice to
quit on that parly. Yel , whllo working
out its notice in Iho last two yearn
of its term , it put the country in
order , gave peace , security and prosperity
to all within its borders and lelt a record
which will form a bright pacro in the coun
try's history. What honest democrat can
look with pleasure or pride on the history of
his party since March 4. Ib93 { Where shall

Governor McKlnloy was received enthusi
astically und the applause shook the great
