A BALTIMORE SENSATION. GIOLATTI'S MINISTRY OVERTHROWN. ‘The Resignation of the Cabinet Announced to the Italian Chamber of Deputies. Romz, May 27.—Signor Giolitti, the new prime minister, announced to the chamber of deputies today that the members of the cabinet had tendered their resignations to King Hum- bert, but that his majesty had refused to ac- cept them. He therefore asked the chamber to pass the most urgent bills now before it and to grant the government a vote on account for the next six months. ‘The prime minister's announcement caused a great sensation in the house. It is generally taken to portend that the dissolution of the house is imminent, There is no doubt that the resignation of the ministry was precipitated by the vote taken in the house yesterday on the question of confidence in the ministry. The result was a victory for the ministry, but the margin was so close that had ten of the thirty- eight who abstained from voting cast their votes against the government the ministry would bave sustained a defeat. The new cabinet was only definitively formed on May 15, and its practical overthrow has therefore been « matter of only a few days. The receding cabinet, at the head of which was the Marquis di Rudini, was defeated by a majority of eight in May in its demand for u vote of con- fidence. —_— — GEN. STREIGHT DEAD. He Planned the Memorable Escape of Offi- cers From Libby Prison. Ixpraxarouis, May 27.—Gen. A. D. Streight died at his country home, two miles east of this city, this morning. Abdel D. Streight was born in Wheeler, N. ¥., June 17, 1829. When seventeen years old he bought his time off his father and left home. For maiiy years he worked at the carpenter's bench and iater enguged in the book publishing business. He went west in 1858 and lived a short time in Cincinnati and thence went to In- diana, At the request of Gov. Morton he recruited the fifty-first regiment of Indiana volunteers. He was commissioned colonel of this regiment in 1861. In December the regiment reported to Gen. Buell of Louisville, was attached to the Army of the Cumberland, where Col. Streight’s command became prisoners of war. ‘The ofti- cers were sent to Richmond, Va., and committed to Libby prison. By reason of his having led the raid into the enemy's country Col. Streight became the object of special hate W the rebels. He was ironed, confined ina dungeon and forced to subsist on cornbread and water for thirty days for attempting to escape. Soon after his release from the dungeon he planned the memorable and historic scheme for escape by which 108 officers secured their freedom. After a brief rest Col. Streight returned to the service and took command of his old regiment, After the battle of Nashville he was made brigadier general by President Lincoln. Gen. Streight re- mained in the army until the close of the war and then returned to Indianapolis, where he re-entered the publishing business. Later he engaged in the wholesale lumber and chair manufacturing business and for many years has been one of the largest dealers in the west. Gen. Streight was a republican in politics and governor in 1876, but was orter, now United States was a candidate defeated by Alber minister to Rome. CREEDE, COL., IN PERIL. Danger of the New “Boom Town” Being Swept Away by Melting Snow. Crexpe, Cot., May 27.—Creede is in danger of being swept away. The melting of the snow on the ranges has caused Willow creek to rise rapidly and for the past week it has been running bank full. It is now almost out of its banks, and the dykes are apt to give way at any mo- ment. Residences along the valley road are in | a perilous position, for once the dyke gives way there is no hope for the town, which is merely bottom land. Many people have left the city owing to the danger of a flood. SENSATION AT A FUNERAL. Unfounded Report That the Cardinal Would Forbid the Use of the Church. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. Baurrwore, May 27.—There was quite a scene at the funeral of Rev. Peter Chowanice, pastor of Holy Rosary Catholic Church, Eastern ave- nue near Broadway, this morning. He died suddenly and many of his Polish congre- gation have formed the impression that he committed suicide. It was rumored among them that Cardinal Gibbons had for- bidden the body to be taken into the church, and quite a scene resulted from the rumor this morn- ing, the hour of the funeral service being at 9 a.m. Threats were muttered what they would do if the order was not rescinded and a com- mittee was dispatched to the cardinal’s resi: dence. While waiting the return of the com- mittee the streets became blocked with crowds of his parishioners, Talk of the priest's suicide was general. It is said he told many he would be dead by Thurday, the day of his expected removal. ‘The commitgee returned from the cardinal’s with the permit for the body to enter the church and the funeral proceeded. Father Donahue, pastor of the cathedral, who resides with the ‘cardinal, states that he had heard nothing of the cardinal refusing to permit the body to enter the church. —_—— IN WALL 5sTR Prices Were Irregular and the Market Was Dull. : New York, May 27.—Reading, Rock Island, Western Union, sugar trust, Colorado coal, Northern Pacific preferred, St. Paul and Louis- ville and Nashville were the only active stocks this morning. Prices were irregular and wenk and at noon the gen- eral list was down 3¢ to 34 per cent. Colorado coal was the only tock ‘that thowed any decided strength.

A Report on the Subject Made By the Commissioners to Congres The Commissioners have made the following response to Congress upon the different sys- tems of sewerage proposed for the District of Columbia. With reference to the plan proposed by Mr. McGowan, which was included in the communication from Congress, the Commissioners say that on the 10th instant Mr. McGowan, by appointment, had a confer- ence with Capt. James L. Rusk, assistant to the Engineer Commissioner and in immediate charge of the sewer department, and made an explanation of his plan. He proposes to reconstruct the bottom of the B street sewer and to construct a reser- voir at it west end, into which ite drainage will be discharged. The Tiber sewer is to be extended from its present outlet end to the Anacostia river, the flooring at the north end of the extension to be two feet lower than the flooring of the existing sewer at that point and the extension to have a gradient of six feet in its length. No change is to be made in the existing por- tion of the Tiber sewer. A reservoir is to be constructed at the south end of the extended sewer, into which its drainage will discharge. The ' whole dry weather flow of the Tiber and B street sewers is to be jumped from the reservoir into barges, the liquid sewage to overflow into the river, and the sludge to be carried down the river and dumped in the most available locality. PUMPS FOR STORM WATER PURPOSES. He proposes to pump all storm water which might possibly cause flooding of the low section of the city by means of machinery located within the pumping stations which will be locat near the xeservoirs. He pro- oses to raise the river wall of the otomae flats improvement to such an eleva- tion as will bar out the river at freshet stage. He stated that he does not propose any construction affecting the sewerage now dis- charged into Rock Creek nor that discharged into the Anacostia river eastward from the James Creek canal. In addition he pro- poses to remove, by means of his patented ap- ratus, all obstructions of sand and gravel om the pipe sewers of the city. Intercepting sewers between the two reser- voirs and in other localities are pro to carry to the reservoirs drainage now discharged into the rivers. ESTIMATED Cost. He estimates the cost of ‘the work upon the bottom of the B street sewer to be €45,000, but | docs not include anything for pumping, which would probably increase this item to £50,000. He estimates for revervoirs and pumping sta- tions $24,000. These, Capt. Lusk says, are con- servative estimates, and he finds for two reser- voi Excavation, 6,144 cubic yards at 50c.. Masonry, 2,654 cubic yards at $6.. Tncidantils, pumping and contingencies, 20 per cent of 818,996... 8,800 Total ase £22,796 Estimates for pumping stations, which Mr. ‘MeGowan stated does not’ cover cost of ma- chinery, nor does it seem likely that the cost of foundations for machinery is included, $16,962. As this plan contemplates pumping ‘a larger quantity of drainage than was proposed by the plan of the “sewerage commission” the ma- chinery would exceed in cost that proposed by the sewerage commission and the operating expenses would be much larger in view of the fact that the plan of the sewerage commis- sion placed all the pumping machinery in one station. If we assume it to be the same the cost of the pumping stations with machinery will be $16,942 plus 514.444 or $531,406. ‘The estimate of 16.962 for buildings would provide, after constructing the chimneys, Yery poor shelter for the expensive machi juired. The next item in the estimate is the of the Tiber sewer—#105,600. extension avenue) $115—7,250 1. f.

The Senate Takes Up Bills on the Calendar. THE SUNDRY GIVIL BILL. Amendments Acted Upon in the House— Printing of Public Documents Abridged— The Appropriation for the Philadelphia ‘Mint Remains in the Bill. THE SENATE. >>, Thureday’s Senate calendar. gave under the head of “unfinished business” Mr. Dolph’s bill to provide for -the punishment of violations of treaty rights of aliens. In today's calendar that bill appeared in its regular number, near the end of the order of business, having lost its place by the action of the Senate yesterday in faking up Mr. Stewart's bill for the free coin of gold and silver. This bill now occupies the “point of vantage” as the unfinished business, and that position it may occupy for an indefi- nite period. Mr. Morgan's resolution on the subject of the currency stood at the head of the subjects to be taken up under rule ; so that the question of silver had Precedence today ovér Revery other subject. Yhen the routine morning busines was dis- posed of the calendar was taken up under rule but Mr. Morgan voluntarily abandoned his right and consented to have his resolution laid aside without action. That having been done the business on the calendar was proceeded with in regular order under rule 8. BILLS PASSED. Among the bills passed were tho following: To reclassify and prescribe the salaries of railway postal clerks. (The rates fixed a1 First class, not exceeding $800; second class, not exceedi third ciass, not exceed ing #1,200; fourth class. not exceeding $1,300; fifth class, not exceeding $1,500; sixth class, not exceeding $1,600, and seventh class, not exceeding $1,800.)

The silver bill was laid before the Senate at the close of the morning business. Mr. Sher- man expressed his intention to speak, but said he would not be prepared to do so until Tues- day. After some colloquy the bill was, by unanimous consent, postponed till Tuesda; when it will come up at 2 o'clock as the unfi ished business and then the Senate proceeded to executive business. THE HOUSE. The first recognition this morning was ac- corded to Mr. Coombs (N. Y.), who asked unanimous consent for the consideration of a bill providing for the sale of navy yard land in the city of Brooklyn, N. Y., ata price of not less than $41,000 an acre. There was no objec- tion and the bill was passed. Mr. Otis (Kan.) was the next member fortu- nate enough to catch the Speaker's eye, and on his motion a Senate bill was passed authorizing the Topeka Water and Electric Power Company to erect dams across the Kansas river in Shaw- nee county, Kan. Then came Pennsylvania’s turn, and on mo- tion of Mr. O'Neill (Pa.) a Senate Dill was passed to enable the centennial board of finance be close its affairs and dissolving the corpora- tion, AN ERROR CORRECTED. On motion of Mr. Cockran (N. ¥.) # joint resolution was passed to correct a clerical error in the McKinley tarif§act. It corrects an error whereby a duty of from 15 to 50 cents a pound is imposed on sweetened chocolate and fixes the duty at 2 cents a pound. On motion of Mr. Meredith of Virginia a resolution was adopted calling on the civil ser- vice commission for information as to whether there are on the eligible list of typewriters and stenographers women who have passed the ex- amination and have not received appointments, and whether any department refuses to accept women as stenographers and typewriters, On motion of Mr. Springer (Ill) (who a] red in the House this morning apparently fully restored to health) Senate bill was to establish a bridge across the Illinois river at Havana, Ill. ; THE SUNDRY CIVIL BILL AGAIN. The House then went into committee of the whole (Mr. Lester (Ga.) in the chair) for the further consideration of the sundry civil appro- priation bill. ‘The pending amendment was that offered by Mr. Richardson of Tennessee limiting the num- ber of copies of public documents which may be printed by heads of bureaus without express suthorization by Mr. Richardson and Mr. Hatch (Mo.) were appointed tellers and the vote was a very close one. It seemed at first that the amendment would be carried, the affirmative having a ma- jority of four votes. ‘Mr. Andrew (Mass.) demanded an announce- ment of the vote. Mr. Hatch (from his place as teller) said that the gentleman had no right to interfere. The tellers had not yet made their fina] report. Mr. Andrew—You attend to your own busi- Tk few! scaesiacs tion reused. bebweon th ‘A few. st 8, passed between the tellers and the final announcement was made that the amendment was rejected, 91-98. Mr. Richardson then offered the same amend- ment, with a modification which expressly ex- ‘the Department of Agriculture from the limitation. Agreed to without opposition. Mr. Richardson offered an amendment pro- viding that no document distributed by an executive department hall contain any notice that the same is sent with the “compliments” of an officer of the government. Agreed to. The committee then rose and reported the bill to the House. ‘THE PHILADELPHIA MINT. ‘The first amendmeyt voted on was that strik- ing out the appropriation of $620,000 for a new mint building at Philadelphia. The amenq- ment was rejected—ayes, 87; nays, 116.

J at his last ‘HE ASSERI \T THE EX-PRESIDENT WILL NOT WITHDRAW FROM THE*CONTEST AND 18 CER- TAIN THAT HE WILL BE NOMINATED FOR PRESIDENT AT CHICAGO. Mr. Cleveland will not retire from the presi- dential contest. This is stated authoritatively and with emphasis by Don M. Dickinson, whtse personal relations with the ex-President are wellknown. It is one of the main features which have been developed during the brief but important visit he has made him. Mr. Dickinson reached Washington last night with Secretary of State Rowley of Michigan, and from the mo- ment of his arrival the atmosphere was charged with Cleveland sentiment. Mr. Dickinson had come direct from New York, where he had met the leaders of the Cleveland movement and had had a lengthy visit with Mr. Cleveland himself. The Michigan man was, therefore, able to talk understandingly on’ the situation. Ten minutes after Mr>Dickinson arrived he was in cab headed for the house of Senator Gorman, the “dark horse” of the situation. The con- ference which ensued lasted three hours. Today Mr. Dickinson ‘was again with Mr. Gorman in the latter's Senate committee room. During the day he conferred with a number of Cleveland men in both houses of Congress and was generally active among the democrats. After fetinring that there was nothing to say he said toa Stan reporter: “What is the use of discussing «certainty. A few weeks ago it might have been worth talk- ing about the democratic presidential situation, but there isno longer any situation, as it is settled and discussion of possibilities isa part of ancient history.” “Do you mean by this that you are absolutely confident of Mr. Cleveland's nomination?” “Assuredly, Ido, so sure, in fact, that Ido not want to indicate by any discussion of the subject that there is any open question to dis- cuss, “What is thi confidence based upon? Is it the results in New Jersey and Georgia?” “‘It is the results everywhere. The whole country has spoken. We have heard from the south, from the wost and northwest, and_in short from every section of the country. _ The result in New Jersey was no surprise, a8 I ex- pected as much. “The ‘machine’ went down, and as usnal force of popular will carried’ the result for Cleveland,” “It in being reported, Mr. Dickinson, that Mr. Cleveland will withdraw. | Will you author- ize a statement on this point?” e8, with the greatest emphasis, that Mr. Cleveland will not withdraw under any circum- glances unless the people who have demanded i his services retire Did vou see Mr. Cleveland during your visit in New York yestery “Yes, and found him as serene and free from care as ever.” ee MR. BUTTERWORTH’S VIEWS. He is Not in Politics Now, But Will Be Dur- ing the Campaign. Ex-Representative Ben Butterworth was at the Senate end of the Capitol this afternoon. Toa Star reporter, who tried to have him talk of presidential possibilities, he eaid: “I prol ably have personal predilections, but I am w: ing awhile to see whether they are worth having or not. There wasa distinct understanding that while Iwas connected with the world’s fair I should not take any active part in pol tics, Ihave kept the faith religiously in spite Qf the fact that I have been racked with the anx- ieties which are common to those who have or have had anything to do with politi parties seem to eee scylla and charybdis ahead, and, 80 far as I can see, they are steering both ways at once, ‘Oh, yes; I will be at Minneapolis, but no- where near the inside; out on the periphery will be my place. Tam going to be in politics once more when the campaign opens, and from then on I expect to be ‘in it’ more deeply than ever. Of coutse the party is not solid for Harrison, but I don't think men’s disappoint- ments ought to weigh as much as their delib- erate judgment.” o-—_—_ POLITICAL GOSSIP. Drift of Opinion Gathered From Statesmen at the Capitol. It is a mistake to assumes that the anti-Harri- son folks are not considering the possibility of a declination from Mr. Blaine to run for the presidency, While they do not expect a declination it is pretty cer- tain’ that they have not yet received & positive assurance from Mr. Blaine that he will not resist every effort to make him Presi- dent. They are, therefore, while quite con- fident of Blaine, considering all possible con- tingency to make certain the defeat of Harri- son. The rush is for Blaine and his name is the magnet which is drawing the delegates. The conferences that have been held have been di- rected to a general consideration of the solu- tion, with an idea of making the line of opposi tion so compact as to have Mr. Harrison's de- feat not dependent upon Blaine. The conference between M Clarkson, Cayitol just Reed, Boutelle and others at before the adjournment of the House yesterday afternoon was directed to this point. A very prominent republican, who has been in close communication with Mr. Clarkson, said this morning: “‘The rush is for Blaine, and I expect that he will be nominated, but if he will not t the nomination that will not help Mr. Harrison.” THE SITUATION AS IT APPEARED TODAY. The situation as to Mr. Blaine’s acceptance seems to be this: He has listened attentively to the declarations of prominent politicians that they intended to nominate him, has evaded a direct reply to their importunities and has not told them that their efforts were being wasted. Deciarations that silence would be ‘as consent have not provoked from him any command that his name be dropped. | These things are construed to mean that be does not feel that he has a right to deny his service to his party, though he does not want the nomination. It ‘is argued that he could not decline the nomination after letting the matter go #o far, but it is probeble that Mr. Blaine has made no further declara- tion one way or another. It is far from improbable that if Mr. Blaine, contrary to all expectations, should decline his friends, with his approval, would throw their influence in favor of Mr. Reed. As Tue Stan has stated before, the old time unfriendly feeling between the two Maine states- men no longer exists. Mr. Reed would give his support to Mr. Blaine and Mr. Blaine, unless some of his close friends do not understand him, would in no way an nize Mr. Reed and might use his in- fluence to assist to Reed’s nomination in certain contingencies. Should Blaine decline Mr. Teed might be the nominee if the opposition to Harrison was successful. ‘MB. GROUT'S VIEWS. Mr. Grout of Vermont eaid to a Stan re- porter today that he believed that Mr. Harrison would benominated. “I donot think,” he said, “that Mr. Blaine will permit the nse of his name asa candidate. He declared himself on this subject tn his letter to Mr. Clarkson and I do not think any one has a right to doubt the sincerity of declarat fully convinced that has given no j@ecouragement to the effort to force him into ‘candidacy.

Places of public amusernent and chute’ build- ings were discussed with a great deal of free- dom and at some length in the Scnate District committee room this morning. It was the | regular meeting and there were present Chair | man MeMillan and Senators Higgins, Gallinger, | Hansbrough, Perkins and Harris. Most of the session was taken up in talking about the new building regulations and about the reg- ulations’ which might have been made, | but were not. Sentiment was prectically | unanimous to the cffect that net only should the authorities prevent the erection of improperly constructed theaters or balls, but should also undertake the work of rebuild” ing or altering such as at present exist. In the course of the debate Senator Gullinger said he bad in preparation bill which if it ‘be- came law would bring about all the neces sary chai nd make the theaters; balls and churches in this city as nearly safo as they pos- sibly can be. He said that the principal causes of death when «uch places were on fire was from the smoke, which would kill in from three to five minutes. Expecial attention Wax given by the committee to the Metzerott Hall matter and there was unanimons agree- ment that a hall capable of holding 1.200 poo- ple should not be built above the level of | the street or with any inhabited rooms beneath it. ADIUSTING SALARIES AT THE JAIL. Senator Perkins, who is the subcommittee on | the bill fixing the salary of the warden of the United States jail in this city and the number and compensation of employ has been “investigating with a deal of earnestness. He has adjusted the measure so that it now provides a s@lary of $2,500 for the warden, an increase of $700. He also provides increase in the salaries of employes and amends the conditioms under which they at present work. THE RIVER FRONT PROPERTY, The commitice then took up the joint resolu- tion which authorizes the chief of engineers to take possession of the river front property, and it was decided that the people who are opposed to this seizure must file whatever protest the may have by Tuesday next. Sens Faulkner was added to the subcommitte on this resolution,*o that the subcommittee now consists of Senators McMillan, Wolcott and Faulkner. Favorable report was’ ordered on the McMillan joint resolution to authorize the city postmaster to construct and maintain a platform in the alley in square 454. The House act regulating the delivery and sale of ice on Sundays was amended so as to conform to the Senate bill, and was ordered to be favorably reported. Senator Hansbrough bas been added to the subcommittee on the House act to provide for the regulation of the equipment and operation of street railroad lines by the District Commis- sionera. Joint resolution relating to the Memorial As- sociation of the District of Columbia will be favorably reported by Senator Perkins. THE COLUMBIA SUBURRAN RAILWAY. Before the District committee commenced its meeting this morning a delega- tion interested in the Columbia Sub- urban railway bill conferred with Senators McMillan and Harris, ‘The interested parties have changed their plans completely within ist twenty-four hour: we arranged so that if their wishes ure acceded to they will beable to run cars almost exclusively over the tracks of other companies, The delegation told the subcommittee that they wanted to use the Columbia railroad tracks from 15th street east to 4th street west: the Belt line tracks from 4th and Mastachusetts avenue to G street; the tracks of the Eckington extension on G street to 5th; the Metropolitan tracks from 5th and F to Louisiana avenne. The company would thus have to build one connecting square of trackfrom Sthand G streets to 5th and F and two squares from Louisiana avenue to 7th street, where they proposed to locate their west- em terminus, The committee bas the proposi- tion under consideration, but expects to hear from the other roads before making any report thereon. POTOMAC WHARVES. The claim that the river front resolution was a surprise to the occupants of the river front is not understood by the Senate District com- mittee, for the matter has been mentioned sev- eral times in Tue Star and other papers. The resolution was based upon diecg of the United States Supreme Court in the%cases of the Potomac Steamboat Company and others against the Upper Potomac Steamboat Com- pany and the Potomac Steamboat Com- my against the Inland and Seaboard Coasting Company. In that decision it was held that “The United States, as owners in fee of Water street, were in the enjoyment of all the rights which were attached to that property by this compact and by this legislation, or which be- longed or appertained to it by virtue of gen- eral princi of law relating to riparian rights. * * * The decisive circumstance in the present case is that the United States be- came the riparia rietor and succeeded to all the ri ts of Notley Young by be- coming the owner in fee rimple absolute of the strip of land that adjoined the river and inter- vened between it and what remained to the original proprietor, Notley Young, after that conveyance, and successors to his title had no or greater rights in Water street, or in the land on which it was made out and evcnt- ually made than any other individual members of the public.” WASHINGTOX, FAIRFAX AND ALEXANDRIA Co. There has been a brief consultation be- tween Senator McMillan and representatives of the Washington, Fairfax and Alexan- dria Railroad Company. The company is anxious to have its bill pushed through so as to et once commence the work of construc- tion. It was also argued in behalf of extra haste that the building of the road would open up some valuable Virginia real estate, but this sort of plea was not received with much favor by the Senator. He wants to see commu- nication with Arlington made easy and cheap, and it will be especially pleasing if the road 1s in tion before the Grand Army place, but the Senator is not going to over-oxert himself for the benefit of any individual's real estate, ¥ wy the conferees of the Senate and House on the Glen Echo railroad bill met in the Senate District committee room.
