JOHANNBBB U RO. April 2L (Special Ca
blegram to The Bee ) As la well known In
tha ttrmi of tha surrender of tha Boers It
wu agreed that military administration In
tha Transvaal and tha Orange river colony
ahould, aa aoon aa possible, ba succeeded
by aelf -government, representative Institu
tions leading up to self-government being
Introduced aa soon aa circumstances permit.
Aa la well known, tha Boer leaders have
placed their own Interpretation on tha
phrase "representative Institutions" and
by pretending that It refers solely to muni
cipal representatives have not hesitated to
accuse hla majesty's late ministry of a
breach of the terms of surrender. The
! Boers do not appear to understand the
difference between the expressions "self
government" and "responsible government."
In using the word "aelf-government" the
Boer leaders might have been expected to
( interpret it In the light of their own ex-
perlence, that la to say, self -government
f on the only Mnea familiar to them in the
Transvaal and tha Orange Free Btate. The
distinction between "representative" and
"responsible" government was quite un
known to them or at least was aa far from
their thought a sthe Prussian three-clans
system of election. Unfortunately,, before
the arrival of the time for carrying Into
effect all of the provisions of the terms
of surrender an agitation was started In
the Transvaal by a section of the British
population to obtain without any Inter
mediate stage the fullest measure of politi
cal freedom known In the British empire.
The Foer leaders In the Transvaal at once
learned to appreciate the difference between
ths two forma of government, and threw
the weight of their Influence at once Into
the "responsible" scale. They appeared to
Ignore the facts, and urH that the system
of government enjoyed hy them before the
war ought to be granted to them again,
and had no difficulty in convincing them
selves and their followers that responsible
government as understood in the empire
had been the political heritage of the Boers.
Committee May do Oood Work.
The appointment of a committee of In
quiry into South African affairs Is recog
nized as a step in the right direction, and
on tha whole the personnel of the com
mittee Is favorably commented upon. By
the Boers and a few others of distinctly
liberal complexion It la considered emi
nently satisfactory, while those who re
garded a royal commission as more In keep
ing with the gravity of the Issues at stake
are relieved to find that there Is no chance
that partisan feeling will figure In the
committee's report. After all every un
biased Englishman, from Lord Mtlncr
downward, who has atudied African prob
lema on the spot, has arrived at the aamo
conclusions, and there la no reason to sup
pose that the committee of inquiry will
prove an exception to the rule.
Although the terma of reference do not
specifically mention the Chinese question
It in hoped that the committee will be al
lowed to form an opinion on the subject for
the personal guidance of the cabinet If not
for Inclusion In their report.
It "remains to point out the need of the
utmost dispatch in the task of the com
mittee. A crisis has undoubtedly arisen In
the history of the colony which Is none the
less grave because it Is developing quietly.
The Transvaal may be spared demonstra
tions by unemployed, but the exodua of the
clasa of people most required In the 'colony
has begun, and ao long aa the present
cheek on all enterprise contlnuea the nutn-

One Vote, Ono Talao.
The petition to the klog for the Inclusion
of the principle of one vote one valuo In
the new constitution haa already been
signed by far the greater percentage of
registered votera within the municipality
of Johannesburg. The success of the move
ment Induced Oeneral Botha to seise the
opportunity of a public meeting to warn
hla Boer audience against signing the pe
tition. He added that some Boera had
been Inveigled Into signing on the under
standing that the petition waa against Chi
ese labor. This latter charge la being in
vestigated. The attitude of South Africa as a
whole towards the motion of censure on
Lord Milner haa been aummed vp In tha
words of the Transvaal Leader, "Indtgn
tlon and disgust." The Boers In the new
colonies regard It with the same feellnre
of Indifference with which a Chinese
viceroy, after getting rid of some of the
criminal element In his province as labor
for the Transvaal mines, may be expected
to receive the apologies of the British
government for the fact that a few
should have been Inadvertently flogged.
Throughout the subcontinent the British
press has selxed the occasion to pay a
whole-hearted tribute to Lord Milner. The
newspapers see in the motion a natural
corollory of the action of the liberals at
the elections, but they are careful not to
confuse the entire party with the section
represented by the mover, which. It Is
realized, must now alwaya be with It. No
one expects adequate public recognition
of Lord MUner'a work in South Africa
during his own lifetime, but the out
rageous nature of the attack haa helped
to concentrate public thought upon the
greatness of the services of Lord Milner.
That the British community at large has
not attempted to enter the lists on Lord
Mllner'a behalf is said to be due to con
tempt for the tactlca of hla antagonists.
New Alliance Sngseated.
As a consequence of tho stoppage of
Chinese emigration and the trouble among
the miners on the Rand an alliance 1s
threatened between the workmen and the
Boer organization Het Volk. Mr. Wood,
general secretary of the Transvaal Min
ers' association, is out In an Interview
complaining of the hopelesa division
among tha British In the Transvaal. He
first accuses certain Individuals of trying
to get some officials of the association
dismissed from their employment as
miners on a pretense that they persuaded
other miners not to sign the equal rights
petition. Mr. Wood, denying that the offi
cials have taken this course, continues:
"Surely the hand of tyranny and coer
cion is commencing early In tha political
arena. If this is to be the game, the
sooner that we come to terms with Het
Volk tho better, so that we may put a
spoke In the wheel of the magnates who
are so anxious to have political power
In this country. . Are they not content
with the freezing out going on at present
In connection with the miners without at
tacking individuals in connection with our
association? I should advise those con
cerned to consider that they are having
their chance now to keep in harmony
with the workmen. If they refuse, well,
our chance cornea later, when we will
not forget."
LOVE LAUGHS AT LAWMAKERS
King; Flow In Face of Advisors
When lie Proposed to
Run.
MADRID. April 21.-Speclal Cablegram
to The Bee.) According to all accounts
here, the match between the king of Spain
and Princess Kna of Battenburg Is so much
of a love match, on the side of the king
at least, that It became like some more
pleblan matrimonial alliances, a matter of
carrying the affair Into execution in oppo
slot to maternal and religious Inflences.
It Is openly stated here that the match
found no favor In the ultra Catholic circle
of the court. Queen Maria Christiana had
hoped that the choice would fall on a
princess of Austria of her faith, and the
great officers of state who have for yeara
stood next to the throne and who, through
the king, have ruled Spain were one In
that opinion. "A Catholic by birth," they
urged, and though they were In the minor.
Hy. yet they formed the minority that rulea
and haa governed Spain for yeara. Spain
la the home of Cathollo majesty. In these
days of agnosticism the wave of free
thought has passed over Spain and left It
untouched; Indeed, If anything, It haa closed
the ranks of Roman Catholicism against
all "Intruders." But the weightiest opin
ions of mother and members of the cabinet
were gossamers before this youthful king,
who waa sincerely In love. He wore, down
opposition gradually but surely, and today
finds Spain enthusiastic, and the Spanish
court at least tolerant. But It was so much
of a love match and the opposition waa ao
fierce that If the truth be told It almost
estranged the boy king from his mother.
However, It has apparently brought him
nearer to the hearts of the people on the
principle that the whole world loves a
lover. One hears of little else except the
marriage no matter where one travels
throughout the country and one aeea the
portraits of King Alfonso and Princess
Ena In almost, every shop. The princess
haa apparently won her way Irto the
hearts of the common people and of the
thinking classes, though she may still have
to conquer the court Itself. However, with
the tremendous popularity accorded the
match in all quarters, and sure of the
love of the king, this ought not to be dif
ficult for the princess to accomplish.

MELBOURNE. April n. rSp"ciul Cable

recently removed the flagship Euryalus
from tha Australasian auxiliary squadron
and substituted the Powerful. The com
monwealth government protested. The Ad
miralty then offered an armored cruiser of
the Monmouth type.
8ays the Melbourne Age: "At f.rst sight
this looked like a magnificent admission of
the technical breath of the naval agreement
committed. On examination, however, It
turna out to be an audacious attempt at
bluff on the part of Vic Admiralty. It ap

modern warshlpa go, and of less fighting
strength than the Powerful."

DUBLIN, April tL (Special Cablegram
to The Bee.) The question of permitting the
importation of live store cattle from Can
ada la atiU agitating Ireland. An Influential
delegation haa Just returned from London,
where an emphatio protest against tha ad
mission of Canadian cattle waa made. The
members of the deputation In their speeches
to the prime minister urged that the pres
ent embargo against the importation of
live store cattle should be maintained in
order to guard against the aerloua danger
of the Introduction of cattle disease Into
Ireland to the great detriment of the cat
tle trade and dairying Industry. Examples
were quoted of the disastrous consequences
of Imported cattle disease In times prior to
the existing restrictions. The prime min
ister is understood to have stated in reply
that he bad been Impressed by the strong
case which the deputation had so clearly
put forward. The subject waa one of In
terest, not only to Cork, but to all who
were engaged In agriculture In Ireland.
There was, of course, some objection to a
continuance of restrictions upon the free
movement of agricultural produce, but he
waa not unaware of the danger they ap
prehended. A good deal 6f comment had
been excltrd by a speech he made on the
subject some months ngo to his own electors
In a grazing district, who. whilst fully ap
preciating the supplies obtained from Ire
land, were naturally disposed to welcome
any safe extension of their sources of sup
ply, ne had no hesitation in promising the
deputation that their views would be laid
before his colleagues, and all due attention
would be paid to the Importance of the sub
ject Resolatlons nt Cork.
At the last meeting of the Cork county
council Mr. O'Callaghan, County Cork, Ban
teer, proposed the following resolutions:
That we, the County council of County
Cork, assembled In special meeting, duly
conveyed, earnestly desire to impress on his
majesty's government the Importance of
maintaining the existing restrictions on tha
Importation of Canadian cattle Into the
United Kingdom, which has been so free
from disease since these restrictions were
Imposed, and we consider such Importation
would be a great menace to the present im
munity of rattle disease In Ireland. We
greatly apprehend that any relaxation of
these restrictions would cause serious risk
and most probably incurable loss to the
principal source of trade that the Irish
tenant possesses In opening the ports to
the possible Introduction of cattle disease,
which In one of Its many contagious forma
we believe the American continent and Can
ada are never wholly free from.
The chairman, J. J. Howard, said he
agreed that there waa great danger of a
recurrence of the disease. He believed,
too, that it would be ruinous to the rearing
and management of dairy cattle In the
country, and It waa a matter also that
the government should look to whether
In the altered condition of things the peo
ple would be able to meet their obligations
to the atate. If the restrictions were re
moved It would be simply a new lease of
life to the graziers. Referring to the ef
fect, of free Importation and the price of
beef, he aatd that when It waa first In
troduced It came in at a very low price
people were tempted to buy It at 3d or
3Hd a pound. But what was the state
of affairs now? The price of rough pork,
like shoulders, was 6d per pound, or
a greater price than any rearer of pigs
could obtain for hla produce thla month.
The aame would occur with cattle by and
bye. They would send them In at first
cheap, but aa aoon aa they had the cattle
Industry In the country killed up would
go the price by 100 per cent or more. The
resolutions. It Is needless to say, were car
ried unanimously.
As to Land Pnrchaaes.
That the thing haa made a deep Impres
sion upon Ireland is evident from the fol
lowing resolutions. Just adopted by the
Boyle town commissioners:
That we, the Eoyla Town Commissioners,
have learned wlih regret that processes
have been Issued by the estates commis
sioners against purchasers for the Klng
Harman estate for falling to pay their
purchase Installments. That the repeated
demands made to these tenants for In
terest at 3V, per cent during the last few
months completely swept away their ready
money, and that the rumor of the Intro
duction of Canadian cattle has paralyzed
recent local fairs and left stock unsold
in large numbers. We respectfully appeal
to the estates commissioners to put a stay
on these processes and not heap unneces
sary costs on the people in a season of de
pression. J
It Is being urged that these things should
have been thought of when the tenanta
were being Induced to pay twenty-four and
one-half yeara' purchase of the fair rant
for the estate. The estates commissioners
have, of course, no power to remit or de
lay the collection of these annuities. They
are responsible to the trustees of the Klng
Harman estate for the collection of tho In
terest on the agreements and to the treasury
for the annuities the purchase money. The
latter will not ask the commissioners twice
for the annuities. It will simply take It
out of the exchequer grants in aid of the
rates of Boyle and the County Roscommon
generally and leave the commissioners to
make It good to the county If they can.
But If the Klng-Harman purchasers are In
difficulty already It begins to show tha
trouble that la also brewing for the rate
payers of Ireland.
Mr. Justice Meredith haa just delivered
Julgment on an interesting application.
Under the land purchase acts the estatea
commissioners propose to purchase Lord
Dunraven's estate In County Limerick for
the sum of $j&5,000 and to advance 1100,000
to Lord Dunraven for the purchase of his
demesne.
Lord Dearaven Loses.
Four yeara ago Lord Dunraven purchased
from Mr. Peter Fitzgerald a atud farm on
the Dunraven estate and he haa applied for
a further advance of K2.000 for the rep lr
chase Of this farm for himself. The estai.es
commissioner now asked the court to
say whether they had authority to ad
vance this latter aum, having regard to
the fact that Lord Dunraven waa both
landlord and tenant of the farm and that
they had agreed already to advance him
tlOO.OOO for the purchase of the demesne.
Mr. Justice Meredith delivered a long
Judgment, In which he held that the ad
vance for the repurchase of the atud farm
could not be made under the land purchase
acta.

DUELS IN GERMAN ARMY
Matter Dlacaaaed In Reichstag; and
, Prnctloe Said to Bo Crowing
t
Obsolete.
BERLIN, April 21. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) The Reichstag during the win
ter haa paid a great deal of attention to the
subject of duelling among the officers and
maltreatment of the men. Dr. Spahn, the
leader of the clerlcala, has been leading the
discussion recently. He haa called atten
tion to the declaration on the subject of
duelling made on behalf of the Imperial
chancellor In January, which Included the
statement that no officer oould be tolerated
In the army who was not prepared to vindi
cate his personal honor with his sword. In
the opinion of Dr. Spahn, who la a Prussian
Judge, the Imperial chancellor's statement
constituted a direct incitement to officers
to break the laws of the land, and It was
a singular anomaly that an Incitement of
this character should come from the sole
responsible minister of the empire, who In
that capacity also represented the Depart
ment of Justice.
The Prussian minister of war, Oeneral
Von Elnmen, replied by reading a fresh
declaration on the part of the Imperial
chancellor to the effect that, hla statement
of January IS had been In many quarters
misunderstood. He referred back to the
declaration which his predecessor. Prince
Hohenlohe, had made In the Reichstag, in
November, 1896. to the effect that all quar
rela between officers were to be submitted
to a court of honor, whose decisions should
be binding and ahould never bear the char
acter of compulsion to fight a duel. These
declarations had been carried Into effect by
an Imperial cabinet order of January 1,
1S97, which compelled officers to submit
their dispute to a court of honor with the
best results. Duels on trifling grounds could
not now take place except under unusual
clrcumstancea. As a matter of fact duels
between officers had become so rare that It
was now Impossible to speak of the exist
ence of this evil In the army. In the chan
cellor's opinion the provisions of the cabinet
order were not In the slightest degree af
fected by hla own declarations last January,
and all the efforts of the government were
directed to seeing that the Imperial order
was carried out both In the spirit and In
the letter. General von Elnen further ex
plained that an officer could not, as has
been alleged, be compelled to fight a duel
by. anyone who wantonly challenged him
with a view to destroying hla career. The
affair must alwaya eome before a court of
honor, which would not permit a challenge
to be accepted when the challenger waa
acting from dishonorable motlvee. The or
der which forbade the questioning of candi
dates for commissions in the army with re
gard to their personal views on the subject
of the duel waa Invariably enforced. The
efforts to put down the duel had had a
favorable result, and on principle they
would persevere In the attempt to suppress
It altogether In the army.
SCOTCH PARTY IS PROPOSED
Liberals nnd Conservatives May Both
Bo Affected hy the Saggested
Organisation.
GLASCOW, April O.- tSpeclal Cable
gram to The Bee.) An effort la being
made since the recent trouble over the
question of the organisation of the Scot
tish liberals tj organize a new party here
In Scotland. Whether thla will be made
an effort to drive an entering wedge Into
the liberate or the conservatives It la for
the future to unfold, but It la urged the
nucleua for such a party is to ba found
In those members of the present Parlia
ment Who owe allegiance to tha duke of
Devonshire a party which will be open
to liberals and conservatives alike on the
basis of (1) the maintenance of free
trade, (2) the preservation of the union,
(3) opposition to the subversive policy of
the new labor socialist group.
There are many who agree with Mr.
Chamberlain that the results of the re
cent elections are not truly Indicative of
the feelicig of the country on the fiscal
question. In fact It ia probable that the
majority of liberals aa well aa conserva
tives would freely admit that the issues
were not clearly defined. It la quite well
known thitt many votea were given to
protection! its and advanced retaliatory
not aa such, but aa the official repre
sentatives of the unlorlst party, and one
may Indulge the hope and the belief that
in future elections at least this question
is not complicated with a thousand and
one other Issues.
The liveliest kind of a protest Is now
going on bocauae of tha fact that the
trustees of the Clyde trust are building
storage warehouses and enuring into
active competition with the stores now
existing. It Is declared that thla la open

SUNKEN G0LD DISAPPEARS
Money Lost la Sinking Ship Cannot
Be Fonnd by Rescne
Pnrty.
SYDNEY. April 21. (Special Cablegram
to The Bee.) An incident of the wreck of
the ateamer Ellngamite on the coast of
New Zealand- on November 9, 1902, was
the lose of a number of cases of gold
valued at 385,000. Since then several ex
peditions have aought to recover tho
treasure.
The last of the series of expeditions
returned to Wellington a few days ago.
They report having found the wreck, but
say that the cases of gold have disap
peared. The first attempt was made by
an Auckland syndicate, but the seekers
were unable to locate the resting place of
the ship. ; Another expedition, located the
wreck, but difficulties arose and the ex
pedition waa fruitless. The third ex
pedition waa dispatched by a Wellington
Vjaloon keeper named Gow. He made
elaborate preparatlona and the vessel was
given a great send-off. The effort to find
the treasure, however, failed, owing to
rough weather, but the adventurers were
able to assure themselves that the gold
was there and easily accessible under fine
weather conditions. So they sat down to
wait for mid-summer. When the summer
came they began to make preparation
anew, and while they were preparing there
arrived a vague, drifting story of three
Americans who a little while before had
landed at Auckland, ostensibly for deep
sea fishing, but with an equipment not
usually held to be necessary on fishing
excursions. The story ended with three
cheerful Americana drinking wine riot
ously on a mall steamer bound from
Auckland for San Francisco and making
mysterious references to the Ellngamite.
No Importance waa attached to thla at
the moment, but It baa gained a good
deal of significance in view of the report
of the expedition which has Just returned.
Thla is, that the sunken vessel has been
shattered as if by explosives and that
there is no sign whatever of the gold that
waa plainly seen six months ago.
LIVES WITH PIERCED HEART
Yonngr Paris Woman Snatalna Re
markable Operation and la In
Oood Henlth.
PARIS, April a. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) An extraordinary operation has
been performed here by Dr. Quenu of the
Cochin hospital. A girl was brought in suf
fering from a self-tnhicted stab In the
breast. Tho knife had pierced the heart
and the patient was to all appearance
dead. )r. Quenu, however, believed he
saw fcigna of life and determined to effect
a most delicate operation. Opening the
cheat above the heart, he examined the
wound and found that the heart waa still
bleeding. At the fourth attempt he suc
ceeded In getting' hold of the organ and in
drawing it out. In twenty-five minutes he
sewed up the wound with a minute needle
and the finest thread. He then stitched the
wound in the chest, bandaged It and placed
the patient in bed. Artificial respiration
was resorted to and . after a considerable
time the color returned to the lips and it ,
was evident that the patient still lived. Site
waa nursed with tha greatest care and
twelve daya later got, up, dressed herself
and went home. Interviewed, she an
nounced that on the previous night she had
been to a ball aud danced without even
losing breath.
CARLISTS WANT NO TROUBLE
Frlendt- of Spnnlsh Pretender Have
No Connection with Rnmorcd
Catalan Agitation.
MADRID, April 21. (Special Cablegram
to The Bee.) The duke of Almodovar
doea not attach much Importance to tha
rumors aet afloat by the Catalan pross
concerning an alleged conspiracy of Cata
lan Carllsts to disturb the peace of Spain.
Nevertheless the Barcelona authorities
have been put on the alert, and the civil
governor, the duke of Blvona, reports
that the police in domiciliary visits at
Callella have selxed arms, ammunition and
uniforms similar to those discovered at
two other placea. The Madrid newspapera
aay that the government ia really anxloua
to dlacover the origin of thla scare, aa
the war material already aelzed shows an
outlay of several thousand dollars.
Though there la an evident inclination in

HIDDEN WEALTH IN COSTA RICA
Pirates Burled Much Oold nnd a New
Expedition Will Search
fo.? It.
LONDON. April 21 (Special Cablegram
to The Bee.) Admiral Palllser announces
that he will have nothing to do with the
new treasure hunting expedition to Cocos
Island, which It la reported is being fitted
out in America. The admiral, who accom
panied Earl Fltzwllllams on his expedition,
In the Veronlque, probably knows more
about the location of this famous treasure
than nny other living man, and he does not!
hesitate to announce that this searching
party Is doomed to failure from the outset.
Admiral Palllser In explaining the situation
said:
"In the first place, the chart possessed by
the party Is undoubtedly false. It Is only
one of many which were sold to treasure
seekers some years ago. Then when the
Island Is reached and that will be In the
rainy season It is almost certain that the
treasure seekers will not be allowed to
work, for a syndicate--of which it is re
ported Mr. Harold Grey, Mr. Montmorency
and Captain Kennedy are the principals,
holds a concession from the Corta Rica gov
ernment for exploiting the whole Island,
and until It gives this up no one else can
work there. This syndicate haa been work
ing the Island for the last two years with
out success.
"It was mainly on account of the exist
ence of this concession that Earl Fltzwll
llams' expedition failed. The earl's party
found it Impossible to Interfere with the
syndicate and could only work by Its con
sent In certain parts of the Island.
"There I sabsolutely no doubt that two
great treasure hoards are hidden on the
island. One, a pirate treasure. Is valued at.
between 330.000.000 and $80,000,000, and the
otheV, known aa Keatlnga treasure, la said
to be worth $15,000,000. The former con
sisted of masses of gold and ailver orna
ments and Scotch Ingots. They were orig
inally seized by the Spanish In Mexioo and
Peru and were being carried away In Span
ish galleons, when a notorious pirate. Cap
tain Don Pedro Bonlta. attacked and cap
tured .the vessels and concealed their freight
In a secret cave In Cocos island.
"Keatlng's treasure waa obtained In much
the same way. The Spaniards, who were
being driven out of Peru, collected all of
their valuables In Lima and placed them
for aafety on the British ateamer Mary
Dler. The captain and crew being over
come of the sight of so mcuh gold and alU
ver, murdered those In charge and sailed
to Cocos Island, where they also hid their
vast treasures. Retribution followed
swiftly, however, for a Spanish warship
went in pursuit, and finding them at the
Island, executed seventeen of the crew. The
Spaniards never found the treasure and the
captain of the Mary Dler escaping to
Canada, handed over the secret of the hid
ing place before his death to Captain Keat
ing of Nova Scotia. Keating twice visited
the Island and on each occasion returned
home with $10,000 worth of gold. This treas
ure was also seen by a man who was after
ward killed In the Chilean war.
"The search for these two treasures has
now been going on for between seventyand
eighty years and the only hope for their re-

S0NNIN0 MINISTRY INSECURE
Italian Government Staunda fa Strange
Attltndo Toward Parliament
nnd tho People.
ROME. April 21. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) The situation of the Bonnlno
ministry la said to be a peculiar and not a
very comfortable one. Though It could not
be correctly described as existing on suf
f ranee, It plainly cannot count on a aecure
majority in the chamber or even upon a
continuance of Its present freedom from
attack. On the other hand, lta opponents
claim that they have excellent reaaona
for allowing It to live, among Which the
moat cogent perhaps Is the fact that they
do not form a united party themselves.
However, they frankly acknowledge that
this latter reason Is no reason why they
ahould make the life of the Sonnlno minis
try a pleaaant one. Perhaps the strongest
reason for the weakness of the opposition
is found In the fact that no party wishes
to Inherit the two main questions which
Baron Bonnlno haa undertaken to solve.
When the railway business and the relief
of the southern provinces have been defi
nitely disposed of the way will have been
cleared of stumbling blocks which his oppo
nents are very unwilling to confront Nev
ertheless they seem equally unwilling to
make the task of removing them an easy
one. With regard to the bills for the re
lief of southern Italy and the islands they
have assisted, if they have not actually In
stigated, an agitation to enthuse among
the provlncea to be benefited, those of
Lazlc, of Umbria and of the Marches. The
fact appears to be, however, that even if
the Sonnlno ministry were to fall there
would be no party left to succeed. The old
follower of Slgnor Giollttl might rally
around their chief, but a few leading mem
bers of them left with a not Inconsiderable
following, have clearly shown their disin
clination to bring htm back to power again.
Baron Sonnlno haa no definite and aecure
majority, but he can at least count upon
aa many aupportera aa any one of his prin
cipal rivals.
