TO KILL THE KING.
Pietro AcciaritO, a Political Fanatic
Attempts to Murder King Humbertr
of Italy.

Rome. April 22-An attempt was
made to-day to assassinate the King OF
Italy.
AT 2.3O this afternoon while King
Humbert was on his way to the races
a man named Pietro Acciarito, an iron
worker out of employment, attempted
TO kill His Majesty with dagger. Inc
man was seized before he could carry
out his purpose and the King proceeded
to the Campanelle race course, seeming
ly unmoved.
Acciarito appears to be a political
fanatic He says he has no accomph-
ces.
King Humbert, accompanied by his
oide-de-camp, General Ponds Vagina,
was going 10 witness the royal derby.
Hi. assailant who was waiting outside
81 Johns Gate. rushed up to the car
riage in which His Majesty was seated
and attempted TO stab him. The hlnS
avoided the dagger by rising from ms
seat. -.
Acciarito. seeing he had failed in his
attempt TO assassinate tie King, threw
away his dagger. He was Immediately
arrested by two caribiners, while HIS
Majesty calmly ordered his coachman
to drive on.
The news spread with great rapidity
and when the King reached the royal
stand at the race course it was soon sur
rounded by a cheering multitude. Inc
members of the diplomatic corps pres
ent at the race and number OF olher
distinguished people sent their congrat-
ulations TO the King on his escape.
King Humbert treated the matter
LIGHTLY and remarked: ut is only one
Of the little incidents of my trade.
Acciarite is % years old and native
artegna. a village of the province
of Unoline. three miles south OF GeIn-
ona. .,.,-,
His Majesty returned TO the quirinal
followed by hundreds Of carriages ana
thousands of people gathered about
tho palaca and gave him an imposing
and frantic ovation.
King Humbert and Queen Margaret
were greatly moved by the popular
demonstration and the two appeared
on a balcony of the palace and bowed
their acknowledgements OF the lIah1IC
cheering of the people.
During the afternoon placards were
posted calling upon the population 10
take part in a great manifestation IN
honor of the King at o'clock tonight.
Queen Margherita arrived at the race
course shortly after King Humbert'
who informed her Of his escape. the
Queen was greatly agitated and az
fectionately pressed his hand.
The newspapers and the public uni
versally execrate the attempt.
At the theatres and at many other
public places throughout the country
loyal manifestations indicate the popu-
lar sympathy.
Acciarito declares that he was impell-
ed 70 the act bv hunger, but it appears
that yesterday he uttered vague
threats of an intention to kill an ex-
alted person.

and informed his majesty that unless
the beratS were conceded by Friday next
Bulgaria would begin to mobilize her

In spite of this the Bulgarian repre-
sentative, yesterday, presented an ulti-
mltum at the Yildiz Kiosk, and, subse-
QUen,ly. the Russian embassy informed
the Bulgarian representative that the
moment was inOpportune for insisting
upon the Sultan granting the berats,
adding that Russia would not support
the demand if the Bulgarian army was
modified and that the responsibility
for the consequences would fall eXclu-
siyely upon Bulgaria.
An official notice just published or

ensign of Greece to leave Ottoman
waters within a fortnight from Satur-
day last, April II. the day of the sever
anCe of diplomatic relations between
Turkey and Greece BY the same order

requested to leave them within the same
period Finally at the expiration of the
fortnight the services of the Turkish
lighthouses in the Gulf Of SalOnica will

closed at night TO navigation while the
war lasts.
There is much comment here on the
disgrace of IZZet Bey, until recently the
favOrite adviser of the Sultan. IZzet is
reported 20 have been arrested. One
cause Of his disgrace, according to re-
port. is that he withheld from the Sui
tan TWO of Edhem Pashas dispatches,
Of the Turkish army in Macedonia was
unteuable owing to the incursions Of
the Greek irregulars, and asking for au-
th0rity to advance. Izzet's object. it
appears. was to gain time with the view
of bringing about a pacific settlement Of
the Cre.an question with Greece direct.
Another account has it that the Turkish
minister for war. Ria Pasha. insisted
,Don Izzet Bey's discharge because the
latter ordered the director Of telegraphs,
Ali Enendi. to deliver to him all of
Edhem Pasha's dispatches.
