THE KINGS ENEMY ARRESTED
ATTEMPTED SLAYER OF KING
GEORGE CONFESSED.
Describes With Unction How Near
He Accomplished the Design-Plot
of a Secret Club-Foreign.

Athens, Feb. 2S.-One of the men who
attempted the life of the King OF
Greece on Saturday has been arrested.
His name is Karditza. and he is a
minor employee in the mayors Office
here. He refuses to give the name of
his accomplice.
Two friends of Karditza have been
arrested on suspicion of being his
accomplices. He has become greatly
depressed.
King George has received a very
affecting telegram of congratulation
from Madame Carnot
The municipal council has decided to
erect a memorial chapel near the scene
of the accident.
Karditza, who is 35 years of age, was
formerly an officer i'll the army. He
belongs to a class of doubtful repute
locally designated as the koutzavantis-
THE CONFESSION.
The authorities obtained information
that Karditza was hiding in a house
of ill-repute, which they caused to be
surrounded by the police, but in the
meantime Karditza had gone to the
public prosecutors office and sur
nocence. Closely pressed, however, he
confessed to being one of the king s
aSsailants. He does not express any
regret and declared that if the gun had
not trembled in the hands of his ac-
complete, the king would have been
killed. Karditza refused to furnish any
further information.
WAS A PLOT.
According to the Astay, it had been
decided at a secret meeting of a GER
tain club, held outside the city, to
assassinate the king because he had
accepted the proposition for interna-
tional financial control of the revenues,
in order to arrange the war loan.
This decision, il further appears, was
recorded on the minutes of the club, a
copy of which was sent to the king
who paid no attention to the threat
KarditZa said the plan was to shoot
the kings coachman and the horses.
and then to dispatch the king with
pistols, which he and his companions
were carrying.
King George has identified a photo
graph of Karditza as that of one of his
assailants.
M'KINLEY CONGRATULATES.
His majesty has received a message
of congratulation from President Nc
Kinley.
The police, it now appears, also found
a dynamite bomb at the scene of the
recent attempted assassination of the
king.

cent National Addresses.
Especial TO The HeraldO

Especial to The Herald-J
Boise, Ida, Feb. 2S.-The leaders Of
the silver Republicans of this state
held a conference here today, at which
about 80 were present. A resolution
was adopted endorsing the addresses
recently issued by the national chair
man of the silver Republican, Demo-
cratic and Populist parties and recon-
mending a union of all the silver forces
of the state to the state silver Re
publican committee, which meets here
tomorrow.
Lyttleton Price, who was one of the
boiling delegates at the Republican
convention in st. Louis in 1896, and
who at that time made the declaration
that Mckinley would not get $50 votes
in Idaho, opposed the fusion recon-
mendation. In a speech before the
conference, Price said he did not be-
lieve this a proper time for the dis
cussion of issues. He said the country
was on the eve of a great crisis which
might completely change the political
issues and if war were to be declared,
he believed loyalty to the president
was paramount to all other questions
now before the public.

sons Against Ratification
Washington. Feb. Ex-senator Turpie
made an effort in the executive session
of the senate today to secure the rati-
fication of the treaty between the
United States and Great Britain locat-
ing the Hist meridian as the boundary
line between Alaska and British
America, but failed to succeed, because
of objections made by Senator Petit
grew. Senator Turpie complained that
the treaty had been on the calendar
for almost a year, and said the senate
owed it to the executive branch of the
government to take action. Senator
Pettigrew said the treaty should be
amended before ii was acted upon by
the senate. He asserted that in its
present shape it was a most essential
concession to Great Britain and said
that if it was accepted without amend
ment, making Mount st. Elias the
initial point on the south, it would be
found, when too late, that the Can
adams had gotten decidedly the best
of the bargain.
Action was postponed.

LITTLE WORK DONE.

Little work was done today by the
divers from the tug Right Arm. Cap
tain Gee, who is in charge, seems to
lack authority from the wrecking peo-
pie or others and is indisposed to work
on his own judgment, except in smaller
details.
Late today Captain Gee received or
ders from the contractor to hire such
lighters as were necessary TO remove
the debris from the wreck This will
facilitate the work of removing the
dead and generally hasten operations.
The Spanish divers did not make
their examination today. Captain Sigs-
bee expected them and probably will
be advised tonight as to when they
will begin their investigation. He was
much gratified at recovering today, in
good condition, his insignia of the Or
der OF Red Eagle (Prussian) and the
gold medal presented to him by the
international Fisheries Exhibition, in
London, in 1888.
Captain Sigsbee thinks Spain has a
moral and international right to make
an independent examination, and he
will give the Spanish divers such ia
Gill les as are possible.
Captain Sigsbee hopes the survey
steamer Bache will return to the Tor
tugas tomorrow or the next day with
all the Names wounded left here, and
he also hopes to send on the Bache
hereafter all the remains of the dead
recovered in a condition making it pos
sible to place them in collins.
RECOVERING THE BODIES.
The difficulty experienced in recover
ing the bodies is not understood by
any but the divers. The latter yester-
day worked for three hours trying to
bring out one body intact, and one of
the divers had a bad fall and several
got their air tubes tangled. Even then
they could not extricate the remains
The principal efforts of the divers now
are directed toward clearing the upper
wreckage, smokestacks, decks, guns,
matches, bridges, cranes and gratings.
Then not all the dead can be re-
moved.
Captain Sigsbee continues to receive
letters in great numbers. All the que
riss about the men who lost their lives
when the Maine was blown up are an
