night in order to receive news from the provinces, where the Fascisii movement has tzken a revolutionary turn and to adupt the necessary measures to meet . the situation. The Cabinet at first he decided to issue a proclamation®de... - ing a state g siege in all the provinces affected, cofimencing from today, but after this decision was modified and re- placed by a simple proclamation inviting the public to maintain order notwith- standing the insurrectionary attempts. The newspapers declare that King Victor Emanuel refused to sign the decree es- tablishing a state of siege. The follow- ing is the proclamation addressed to the people: ‘‘Seditious movements have broken out in certain provinces with the object of interrupting the normal work- ing of the powers of the State, which can only plunge the country into grave disorders. The Govt. has tried up to now all possibleeconciliatory measures in the hope of reaching a pacific solution of the crisis, but in view of such insur- rectionary attempts it has now become the duty of the Govt. to maintain order at any price, and it will proceed to auny extremity to protect those citizens re- maining quiet, having confidence in the measures which will be taken to ensure the security of the country’’. Opinion which prevails in the best political cir- cles is that the Fascisti are masters of the situation and that it will not be possi- bie to form a new Cabinet without their consent and participation. Predictions from the highest authorities are to the effect that the new Miaistry will be formed eithgr by Dr. Mussolini, the Chief of the F- isti, or by former Premier Salandx with the collabo;ation of the Fasci®ti.

Dedeagatch, Thrace, Oct. 29th.—Ex- hausted by their slow and weary flight towards Macedonia, vast swarms of refu- gees, who crowd the country roads, now face starvaticn and disease.

GENFROUS JOHN WESLEY. John Wesley, the founder of Method- ism, and editor of the first Wesleyan Hvmeal. was a generous soul. The only use he had for money was to give it awsy. ‘I gain all I can,”” he wrote, “‘not wasting anything—not a sheet of paper, not cup of water.”” When his income was 30 pounds a year he lived on 28 pounds and gave away 2 pounds. When it reached 60 pounds, and even 120 pounds, he stilllived on 28 pounds and gave away the balance. A wealthy lady left him 1,000 pounds in her will, and he gave it all away, oy fifties and hundreds, counting himself simple “*God’< steward for the poor.”” In lacer years w.. - “e might have amassed a fortune by the sale of his books, he lived on a small amount, and gave the rest away. When eight vears of age he tramped through the str- _s of Lon- d» that h 2 might save money to dis- tribute among the poor. For years he gave away 1,000 pounds annuaily, and taken as a whole he gave away not less than 30,000 pounds during his life.-—lbid.
