ROMK, Feb. 7. Signer Saraceo tendered
tho resignation of tho cabinet this morn
ing. King Victor Kmmanuol will consult
with Iho presidents of the senate, the Cham
her of Deputies and the various party lead
ers todny and tomorrow beforo designating
a now premier.
He Is confronted with n tnsk of great
difficulty, owing to tho chnotlc conditions of
tho parliamentary parties. Tho mnjorlt;
whlrh defeated the government yesterday,
consisted of a transitory coalition of the
members of tho right and tho loft, only tho
Rudlnt grcup nipportlng tho government,
Iho socialists opporilng tho cabinet because
they considered it not sufficiently liberal,
whllo tho rightists accused it of lacking
a coherent policy nnd yielding to the social
ists. Tho fall of tho ministry was thus
duo to diametrically opposed reasons.
Yesterday's coalition disappeared Imme
diately after tho vote, the parties being
bitterly antagonistic as regards a general
policy, so the first parliamentary crisis the
UUW king has to solve nppears to be n
perfect Gordlan knot.
After tho announcement of the resigna
tion of tho lahlnet In tho Senato and th1)
Chamber, tho Chamber adjourned sine die.
It Is considered probable that Slgnor Villa
or Slgnor Sarraro will be chosen to form
tho new inluUtry.
