The would-Be Assassin.

London, March 3.-The Times says:
If no more can be said for MacLean,
the would-be assassin of the queen,
than could be said for Guiteau, the as
sassin of President Garfield, or LEROY
the murderer of Gold, he can as little
expect to escape punishment.
Minister Lowell has rendered to
the queen the congratulations of the
American nation upon her escape, and
kilograms expressing similar sentiments
were arriving at Windsor throughput
the night. 1t is officially announced
that the queen passed a good night and
is in no way affected by the attempt on
her life. MacLean passed q restless
night; he will be brought up at a special
sitting of the Windsor borough justices
this afternoon.
From later accounts it appears that
MacLean fired the shot after the car
riage was in motion. Princess Beatrice
and John Brown saw him point the pis-
toll at the carriage. He was exactly 80
pdCt5 ulpbhuI. WuCh hO hlCus 4WO VI
the four loaded chambers of the revol-
yer contained only blank cartridges.
MacLean walked from Portsmouth to
London a week ago, and upon his per
son was found a purse containing a
penny and three farthings and a pocket
book containing the following entries:
Fourth Path; A Novel, by MacLean,
and Reynolds newspaper that gives as
correct an idea of the wide difference
that divides the people of England as
any newspaper in the world. The in
~vernate, free and outspoken principles
and unbiased thinker"
MacLean was charged at the police
station with firing at the queen with
intent to do bodily harm. He asked
whether any ore was hurt but the po-
lice refused TO give him any informa-
ton.
After searching the yard at the rail-
way station for an hour this morning
the police found a small bullet embedded
in the ground. 1t bore marks of hay
ing struck some other object; it was
right in the direction of the spot over
which the queens carriage was passing,
having probably passed over the horses
head.
The queen and Princess Beatrice
walked on the castle terrace as usual
early this morning.
A Witness to the shooting states that
MacLean was observed fumbling in his
pocket while the queen was being
helped into her carriage, but the press
ure of the crowd prevented him from
raising his arm until the carriage was
in motion, and the same cause made
him aim very wide.

Ponsonby says: L beg you to convey to

from the hands of the assassin. Re-
embering the sympathy of her majesty

queens safety is deep and universal"
