Dropped Subs quent to His Positive
Demands.

WASHINGTON. d. c., April 22-The
Republican Senators who are revising the
tariff have decided to drop the retroactive
clause adopt by the House. They have
been forced to take this stand on account
of the position of certain Democratic Sem
ators, particularly White of California.
White recently returned from the West
full OF fight. "a number of prominent
men residing in my State" he said,
would be practically ruined if this clause
is enforced"
To Aldrich and Allison he said: ',Unless
you positively assure me this clause will
be Withdrawn, 1 shall fight the tariff bill
at every stage and hinder its passage as
long as possible"
After consultation with his Republican
colleagues, Allison informed White that
they had agreed to drop the retroactive
clause.
White also intimated that he could not
agree TO the demands of the sugar trust

ROME, ITALY, April 22.-While King
Humbert was driving TO Campanelle
racetrack this afternoon man who pre-
tended that he wanted to present peti-
tion to the King approached the car
riage. AS he reached the vehicle the man
drew a dagger and made lunge at the
King, but the latter warded off the blow,
and the dagger struck the cushion of the
carriage.
In an instant all was confusion. The
Kings escort charged upon the crowd,
which. in the excitement, closed upon the
royal carriage, while others of the Kings
guard seized the man who had atte m pied
to take his Majesty's life and bore
him off.
The King was perfectly composed, and
proceeded on the way to Campanelle and
Witnessed the races as though nothing

The Kings assailant proved to be Pietro

from Artena. He declares hs has no con {.

The King was repeatedly cheered upon
his arrival at the races. and when he re-
turned to the city he was greeted with
great popular ovation by the thousands
who thronged the streets upon learning of
the attempt to assassin ate him.

The great influx has caused scarcity of
food, but plentiful supply of meat can
be obtained by slaughtering sheep and
cattle, large numbers of which have ar
rived. Hospitals are crowded to their
utmost capacity with soldiers, and other
wounded men are being brought from the
front hourly. Nurses and surgeons are
completely exhausted by the vsst amount
of work they have been called upon TO per-
form, and it is impossible for them to
stand the strain much longer. An ureent
appeal has been sent to Athens for more
