charged, at the police station, with
shooting at the queen with intent to
do grevious bodily harm. He asked
whether any one was hurt, but the
police refused to give him any in
formation. After searching the
yard at the railroad station
for an hour this morning,
the police found a small bullet i'm
bedded in the ground. 1t bore
marks of having first struck some
other object. 1t was right in the di-
rection of the spot over which the
queens carriage was passing, having
probably passed over her horses
heads.
The queen and the Princess Beat
rice walked on the castle terrace as
usual early this morning. ..
LONDON, March 3.-The charge
brought against MacLean, before
the Windsor magistrate, to-day, was
for shooting at the queen with in
tent to murder. The prisoner was
remanded for q week. Formal
evidence was taken, concerning the
prisoners arrest and finding of the
amined several witnesses. He did
not seem to be imbued with the Sc
robustness OF the position.
LONDON, March Sat the exami-
nation of Mclean letters written by
the prisoner, were read. In the
first, written before the shooting, he
said he was compelled to commit
the crime against the bloated aris-
tocracy because of the insufficlency
of the relief offered him. In the
second letter, written after his
arrest, he said that his only object
was 10 cause public alarm and get
his grievances redressed /; that he
did not mean to hurt the gu zen, and
only fired at the wheels of her carri-
age.
LONDON, March 3.-MacLean's an
tecedent's show he is eccentric and
is addicted to drink.
Before the beginning of business
on the stock exchange, this morn
ing, all the members in the room
sang "God save the Queen" .
1t appears that MacLean recently
endeavored to force his way through
Elton college. The scholars, who
were at the station to secure a good
position to await the passage of the
queen, and the consequent bustling,
prevented his having an opporIuni-
ty to fire when he might have done
so with a worse result. et
There are various accounts as to
whether his arm was struck while
firing or after he had fired. Police
evidence at the examination went
to prove that he fired straight at
the carriage and not at the wheels,
as he alleged. bda
The pope has telegraphed his re-
greet at the attempt upon the queens
life, and congratulations upon her
escape.
