A despatch from Turin says: The Italian Parliament has reopened its sessions at Rome under peculiar cir- cumstances, two facts being so prom- inent as even to make a Ministerial crisis possible. Owing to their nature they will probably be discussed only in secret session, One has to do with serious riots which occurred in Turin the latter part of August; due in part + to 'the delay in providing the town with sufficient bread, and, in part, to political discontent. The other question concerns the general food crisis throughout Italy,' which led to the resignation of the food controller, Guiseppe Canepa, whose place has been taken by Gen- eral Alfieri. _------ TRAIN CROSSES : QUEBEC BRIDGE.
