Italian Monarch.
A Religious Fanatic Throws
Stone at His Royal
Person.

Jew Batter AhlWardt Crowned
With Laurel by Prussian
Wopkingmen.

ROME, March 25.-This city is In a
state of great excitement over an as
sault that was made this evening on
King Humbert. The king was return
ing from the Villa Borghes, where he
had been spending portion of the day,
when a person, having the general ap-
pearance of an Italian wOrkingman.
threw q stone at the king, the missile
almost striking the monarch. There
was considerable number of people IN
the streets at the time, it being about
o'clock in the evening, and several per-
sons rushed upon the assailant and
seized him before he had chance to
ma Ike another attempt at violence. The
assailant was promptly taken in hand
by the police and conveyed to prison.
Otherwise he would, in all probability,
have been killed by the angry multi
tude. An immense crowd assembled
and cheered the king with frantic en-
thusiasm, and all the way to the palace
the scene was like triumphal prog
ress. King Humbert gracefully ac-
knOwledged the ovation, and was evil
IDENTIFY moved by the loyalty on the part
of his subjects.
The assailant of Humbert is. it ap-
pears, religious fanatic named Ber-
ardi. The authorities have made in
quiries regarding his history, and have
ascertained that he was sentenced to
Imprisonment for seven years for mur-
der committed number of years ago. In
1902 he was released from prison and
emigrated to.America, the authorities
thinking that they had got rid OF him
forever. Berardi, however. recently re-
turned to Rome, but his presence
did not attract attention until today.
He has acknowledged since his arrest
that his intention was to insult King
Humbert because the king declined to
be reconciled to the pope. He also
claimed that he had been engaged in
forming missions for the liberation Of
slaves in America and China. The police
are trying to ascertain whether he had
any accomplices.

WORLDS FAIR RATES.
They Are Settled, but Not Yet An
nOunced.

CHICAGO, March 25.--The presidents
of all the Chicago roads met today and
settled on the worlds fair rates. The
matter was ostensibly lett in the hands
of the special committee Of the
Western Passenger association, which
is to report at the meeting of the
association Monday. but the pres
idents took matters into their own
hands, settled the rates, and
will hand their conclusions over
to the passenger agents, who will ap-
prove them, and they will then be
formally adopted as the regular rates to
the exposition. 1t is not definitely
known Just what rate will be adopted,
but it will either be one and one.third
or one and one-half, with the probabll-
tiles in favor Of the former. Inc preSl-
dents have been compelled to take the
question into their own hands because
of the impending danger of general
decentralization of passenger rates,
which would have been the legitimate
outcome of a delayed decision on the
subject. Many of the roads were quietly
preparing to handle excursions at their
own figures, and it would have been
only short time before there would
have been general scramble for bust
ness. which the presidents were AFRAID
would bring rates too low for profits.
Lines that wish to do so will be given
the right to run special limited trains at
present rates Of fare, but probably no
more than three of the roads will avail
themselves of this doubtful privilege.
A majority of the lines will use the
agreed basis as its maximum rate from
the first day the reduced rates are
effective. The lines which run the spe-
cial limited trains will run others
equally as good at the reduced rates.
but perhaps an hour slower from st.
Paul, Omaha or Kansas City.
So far as known, none of
the st. Louis lines will expert
ment with high-priced trains. In addi-
ton to these rates others will be given
which will practically give any one in
the West the opportunity OF visiting the
fair at one fare or less for the round
trip. Excursions in first-clasS trains at
these rates will be run constantly, and
coach excursions cent a mile each
way will be a feature. All the above
rates will apply only as far west as the
Missouri. In general rates from trans
Missouri and transcOntinental territory
will be one fare for the round trip.

CHICAGO, March % Phil Mayo, of

that he was going to "do" Bob FitZSim-

Second Regiment armory, but tonight

to him slowly with returning conscious

Mayo been able to keep his jaw out

1t was the first public appear
ance of FitZSimmons since his famous
fight in New Orleans, and crowd Of
5000 welcomed him with cheers when
climbed upon the platform shortly after
10 o'clock. His first contest was with
Sam Baird, OF Chicago, who was easily
disposed of, FItZsimmons merely using
him to give an exhibition of clever
ducking and Sparring. Now and then
lie smacked Baird, just to touch him up,
and before the third round was over
Baird grew dizzy and fell against the
ropes. He was caught by FitzSimmons,
who helped him to has corner.
After Bird had left the ring, Mayo,
who has been training carefully for two
weeks, climbed through the ropes. He
was

and looked fit for a good battle. At the
call OF time Mayo began with energy,
landing several good blows on FitZ's
chest and one hot one on the neck. His
success drove the crowd wild, and it
yelled lihc mad as Mayo got in one and
lodged away without return.

BERLIN, March 25. - Scotched but
not killed Ahlwardtism continues to
rear it's ugly head aloft. Ii Ahlwardt
had an atom of regard for the contempt
heaped upon him in the reichstag, or
for the universal voice Of scorn in the
public press, he would vanish from
political life, but with front OF brass,
and sustained by the Jew-baiting mob,
he remains dangerous factor in public
life. Since his exposure in the reichS-
tag his reception On the streets and at
two public meetings which he attended
has been like what might be accorded
great servant of the state. Within
few hours after the collapse in the
reichstag of his charges against Bismarck
and other well known perSonages, Ahl-
wardt repeated and enlarged them at
a meeting heldat Spandau. The meet
ing was very largely attended by work
ingmen, many Of whom came from the
royal factories. A large number of
these men were not of the stamp whose
ignorance could excuse them. yet they
agogue. The meeting was presided
over by Capt. Herter, retired officer,
who crowned Ahlwardt's head with
laurels amid the frantic plaudits Of the
spectators. Every utterance of their
hero of the hour was cheered to the
echo by the workingmen. Ahlwardt
said he had been treated by the reichs-
tag with the grossest injustice. The
members, he said, obviously wanted to
suppress the evidence he possessed to
support his charges. He had van full
of documents, which he had offered to
produce for the examination of the
reichStag,

First Avenue Presbyterian church,
of which Col. Shepard was
prominent member, will conduct

that he will be assisted by several other
ministers, as the colonel had pews in
half dozen other churches. The cer-
tihcate Of Col. Elliott f. Shepard's death
was sent to the health board today. The
cause of death was given as inhalation
of ether. Dr.. Nagle, the register, would
not accept the certificate so worded, and
would not grant burial permit. lie

THE NEW YORK's SPEED.
Little Doubt But She EquaIed the
Requirements.

LEwOs, Del, March 25.-While bad
weather has prevented the cruiser New
York from making test at length of
her powers, there is little doubt that
she has equaled, if not eXcelled, the
government requirement of a maximum
speed of twenty knots an hour. Though
no protracted and thorough test Of her
endurance has yet been possible owing
to fOgs, which have made fast sailing
dangerous, it is learned from pilot boats
and others t~have been in CON-
munication with the cruiser that
she steamed from Philadelphia to the
Delaware Breakwater, distance
of 102 miles, on her outward pas
sage, in less than five hours. This time
includes slow run down the Marcus
Hook. On "a run from Five-FathOm
lightship to Eastern lightship, 9%
knots, the cruiser occupied 80 minutes
and 81 minutes in returning, an average
speed of eighteen knots an hour. The
cruiser had evidently not been run at
her highest speed, owing to the thick
ness of the atmosphere. The figures
given above are not official.

NOT ARTISTIC.
Obstruction Methods of the Tories
Very Clumsy.


New YORK, March 25.-A London
cable dispatch to the Herald says: "The
speakers condemnation of the Tory
obstructive tactics yesterday is fully
upheld by public opinion. Mr.. Lowther
set the ball of obstruction rolling early
in the evening. The speaker admins
tered stern rebuke, which he read
ministered twice later to the smaller
Tory fry. The height of obstruction,
however, was not reached until the
house went into committee on the army
bill. The subsequent proceedings were
disgraceful. The Tories debated and
forced divisions on every clause, being
defeated every time by an average ma
iority of $50. Chairman Mellor was at
first unwilling to enforce closure, but
soon changed his mood. The talk
ing was confined to a few
Tories, the remainder doing, till
aroused by their colleagues to
go into the div yision lobby. Their dull
Speeches were enlivened by Irish inter-
ruptions. The Tory obstruction was of
the dreariest description, nothing to be
compared to the artistic methods of the
irish obstructiOnists of Mt. ParnelPs
time. The government, however, was
determined to keep down obstruction,
and after five hours discussion carried
the day by getting the bill passed in
committee without even verbal altera-
ton. Last nights proceedings must
force Mr.. BaltOur to cneck his follow
ers' unparliamentary conduct before the
party is utterly dscredited in the eyes
of the country. Even their own organs
admit that the Tories went too far"

Bismarck's Health Poor.

BERLIN, March 25.-The Frankfort
Zeitung states that Prince Bismarck
freely tells his visitors that he will not
stand for election to the reichstag at the
next election. HIS health is so poor
that he probably will be obliged to give
up his plan to visit Count Herbert in
Fiume this spring. He suffers lfrom
Indigestion and insomnia; his appetite
is growing rapidly less, and his tits OF
melancholy often last for days.

RECOGNIZED BY AUSTRIA.
The Quirinal Triuinphs Over the
Vatican.

LONDON, March 25.-The appoint
ment Of Archduke Renter to officially
represent Emperor Joseph Francis at
the coming silver wedding of King
Humbert. of Italy, is hailed here as
veritable triumph of the Quirinal over
the Vatican. The archduke is the uncle
OF King Humbert and might attend the
fetes without his presence being con-
sidered as political event. Sent as the
representative of the emperor of Aus
tria, his visit may be pregnant with con-
sequences. The Italian government
will consider 1t as definite Austrian
recognition that Rome is the capital of
Italy. Rome will now have the right to
expect Emperor Francis Joseph to visit
the Quirinal. The reasons for this blow
to the Vatican are found in the Pope's
pro-Fren0h policy and Cardinal RAM
polla's uncompromising attitude on the
Hungarian kultuEsampf.

NOT LegaIIy Carried out.

CHICAGO, March 25.-The expulsion
of the two Chicago blcyclists, Barrett
and Munger, from the amateur ranks
seems likely 10 prove abortive. 1t is
claimed today that they have received
no notice of expulsion from the l.. \.
w. and were not even notified that there
were charges against them. Chairman
Raymond, of the racing board, is quoted
as authority for the statement that they
cannot be kept from participating in the
international championship tests.
