(Received July 12, 12.45 p.m.) ROME, June 11. The debate on the Electoral Reform Bill has opened. A sensation was caused by the resignation of Don Stuzo, leader of the Catholic Party, who is strongly opposed to tho measujo. Don Sturzo, at a meeting of the National Council Party, explained that hia being an ecclesiastic had given rise to bitter attack on tho church, even against tho Holy Seo. On tho othor hand, Don Sturzo’s political activity had lattorly received unmistakable signs of disapproval from the Vatican. This is probably tho true reason for liis retirement. The Minister of Finance submitted a proposal to tho Cabinet for the abolition of death duties in future to be paid by husband, wife, or parents, while other duties are considerably reduced.
Signor Muaaalini complimented the Minister, and declared that the encouragement of family fortunes was Ihc soundest national policy.
