ONLY BLANK SHOTS
President Faure's WOuld-Be AS
saSsin Is Insane.
FRANCE, NEVERTHELESS, IS EXCITED
The Fourth Attempt at the Life OF the
Present Chief Executive-The Last
WOuld-Be Assassin Narrowly
Escaped Lynching.

Paris, July 15.-The excitement
throughout France caused by the at.
tempt yesterday to assassinate Pres;-
dent Faure is not yet allayed, and
the extra diligence of the police and
military is still maintained, although
no further trouble is apprehended.
Since M. Faure became president OF
the French republic there have been
three alleged plots to assassinate him,
besides the attempt yesterday. In the
first of these the principal was said to
be an anarchist known as Petit Bor-
deaux," a deserter from the French
army, whose plan as alleged at the
time, was to kill the president during
the fetes at Havre in April. 1895. The
authorities being warned, nothing
came of this affair. In June of last
year a commercial traveller named Hill
laiard was locked up by the police of
Perigueux upon the information that
he had threatened to fire upon Presi-
dent Faure while the latter was visit
ing the town, in order to draw atten-
tion to certain real or fancied griev-
ances. He is the man who in 1887 at
tempted to assassinate Marshal Ba-
zaine at Madrid. He was not pun
ished. On March 1 of this year three
Spaniards and an Italian were arrest
ed on board a railway train at Valence,
having no tickets. They said they
were going to Lyons to see President
Faure, and, as they were armed with
daggers or razors, the conclusion was
reached that they formed a conspiracy
against the life of the president.
These men were subsequently liber-
ated,
Fired Blank Cartridges.
The attempt yesterday to kill the
president was made at Longchamps,
where he had gone to review the
troops. The president was seated in
an open carriage with M. Meline, the
premier, and MN. Boisdeffre and Tour
nier when he appeared upon the re-
view ground. A well-dressed man,
apparently about 40 years of age, who
had been lea ming against a tree, took
deliberate aim and fred twice in quick
succession with a revolver at the presi-
dent. The man had not time to fire
again before the crowd closed i'll upon
him and seized him; and but for the
Intervention Of the police he would
probably have been lynched. The
name of the would-be assassin is given
as Francois. 1t appears that some time
ago, in order to draw attention to a
supposed grievance which he harbored,
he fired revolver in the hall of the
chamber of deputies. He declares
that he had no desire to harm Presi-
dent Faure, and that he fred blank
cartridges, and that the sole purpose
of his act was to secure hearing of hiR
grievances. When it became known in
the crowd that the president had not
been hurt the greatest enthusiasm
was shown. Cheer after cheer was
sent up, and the people could hardly
be restrained by the guards from
crowding into the place where the
president and his suite was standing.
To BE Placed i'm an Asylum.
London. July 15.--The Chronicle to.
day says that Francois, who attempted
to assassinate President Faure, will be
placed in an insane asylum.

Illinois Gold Democrats.

Chicago, July 15.-The gold demo-
cratic organiza ton of Illinois will re-
open headquarters to-day in the Pal
mer house, and the executive commit
tee does not doubt that there will be
enough favora BILE responses to the
manifesto to guarantee new national
convention fairly representative of
the country before the end of Septem-
Der. Chairman Robins admitted that
he had not received any additional
kilograms from prominent democrats
offering to support TIE third ticket
proposition, but the assurances he had
received led him to expect delegations
from eastern and southern states, even
if the party machinery of the states
was opposed to the plan, on the sup
position that the two democratic tick.
cts would mean the election of Mo
Kinley. ExMayor Hopkins said: ''The
gold democrats of Texas, Nebraska
and Illinois are organized and ready
to go ahead as participants in sound
money convention. Time must be-
given the states which have not yet
taken action. There will be sound
money convention of some kind any
how, and without the necessity of party
leaders if they refuse to join us. There
are enough sound money democrats in
New York to send representative
delegation here, and they should have
ticket of their own to vote for" In
the face of the hopeful assertions of
the gold leaders there were more
prominent desertions to silver's ranks
among local democrats. Lawrence P.
Boyle, who was a leader in the gold
movement from the beginning, said:
''The gold standard democrats of ILL.,
nois will not follow the lead of men
who want to put ticket in the field
simply to help the election of Major
Mckinley" The report was circula-
ted last night at the Palmer house that
the Bryan notification committee was
in communication with Senator Hill
with a view to inducing him to accept
the chairmansh hip of the notification
meeting in Madison Square Garden. II
the senator accepts, the silver demo-
Gratis here say it would be a death
knell of the third ticket scheme 1t is
generally believed at state republican
headquarters here that the national
committee at it's meeting in Cleveland
this week will locate branch head
quarters in Chicago and place National
Committeeman Jameson in charge OF
the western campaign. This would be
taken as a recognition of the claim
that Illinois is to be the royal battle
ground of the campaign. The MEM
bers of the republican state committee
are aroused to action by the silver ex-
citement caused by Bryan in Illinois
and a meeting of the committee is to
be held to-day.

Long Branch, N, July 15.-United
States Senator Smith of New Jersey,
who is sojourning here, when asked his
views regarding the democratic plat
form replied: PERSONALLY l have an
opinion as to what ought to be done,
but do not consider it proper to ex-
press that opinion at this time. The
instructions of the state democratic
convention were in favor of the gold
standard and the delegation was bound
to do everything in its power to carry
out the wishes of the party in this
state, this was done, but, of course,
the effort was futile, and the platform
and candidates stand for principles op-
posed to those enunciated by our state
convention. Under these circumstances
l see but one course open to the dele
cation from this state and that is to
refer the whole matter back to the
state convention for such action as it
may see fit to take. The party is free
to act on any line that may be deemed
wise for the reason that electors have
not yet been put in nomination.
''What in your judgment will be the
attitude of the state convention?' II
have not been home long enough as
yet to find out"
