TRAGEDY REPLACED MIRTH.
ROYAL FESTIVITIES I'm MONACO IN
TERRUPTED BY SUICIDE.

At the Height of Joyful Welcome to
the Prince an Unfortunate Gambler
Places Pistol to His Head and Drops
Dead at the Gambling Monarch's Feet.
[By Telegraph to the Evening Journal
BERLIN, Sept. IA sensational trag-
edy is reported to have occurred at
Monaco. Prince Albert, of Monaco, and
his wife, the Princess Alice. on returning
from recent tour, were received with
great enthusiasm by the people Of the
principality, the attaches Of the casino
turning out especially in strong force to
greet him.
The little army of members was drawn
up at the landing as a guard of honor,
and the governor and council were pres
ent to deliver addresses. The cannon
thundered a greeting and the scene was
of a most Joyous and festal chara cter.
Suddenly young man burst through
the throng and rushed toward Prince AL
bert and the princess. He was we'll
dressed, but his wild and disordered ap-
pearance at once caused dismay among
the group which surrounded the
sovereign
In his hand he grasped a weapon, and
before anybody could interfere he raised
the pistol, and putting, it close to his
head, fred and fell dead at the feet Of the
| Princess Alice.
The princess nearly tainted. She gave
cry Of alarm and sank back in the arms
of her husband. A dozen officers sprang
forward and seized the prostrate body,
only to find that life was extinct The
life blood which oozed from the wound
almost stained the garments of the
princess.
On searching the body not even a cen
time was found. but there was a ticket
to the Casino which told the story of his
fate. He had evidently been overcome
by despair after losing all he had in the
great gambling establishment which sup
plies revenue to support the Prince OF
Monaco in luxury, and had determined tC
end his life at the feet of the prince.
Prince Albert and the Princess were Sc
shocked that the reception ceremonies
came to an almost abrupt conclusion, anS
they both hurried once more aboard thei
magnificent yacht and sailed toward TIN
south
The body of the suicide was borne t.
an unmarked grave in the cemeter,
, which contains so many victims of NJ

IBy Telegraph 10 the Evening Journal
NEW YORK, Sept. IA cable to the
Herald from Panama says that General
Pepper, on September 3, received orders
from Caracas to squeeze a large sum of
money from the merchants at La Guayra.
General Echeverria, his adiutant, sum
moned the leading merchants, and, when
they had assembled, told them they were
prisoners until they paid in sums ranging
from $500to $4,000.
The German, Dutch, Swedish Nor
wegian, Belgian, Brazilian, Argentine
aud Costa Rican consuls and American
Vice Consul Golding, agent of the Red d
steamers, were also arrested. An appeal
was made to American Consul Hanna,
who saw the French, Spanish and British
consuls and together with them formally
demanded the release of the other con
suls and the foreign war ships.
Pepper hesitated, the foreign war ships
got up steam, the Venezuelan forces
beat to arms and for awhile the situation
was serious.
Mendoza, hearing of the state of af-
fairs, telegraphed from Caracas for Pep
per to comply. He then called his lieu
tenants and resigned the dictatorship,
proclaming Guillermo Tell Villegas Pulido
as president and member of the federal
council.
Pulido at once began the forming of a
cabinet, leaving Mendoza out 1t is
thought that Mendoza will attempt tC
escape with his booty from pillage and
