his daily walks, and when the latter ap-
peared, Salson says, he attempted 10
shoot him with a pistol. The weapon,
however, missed fire, and on one per-
ceived his presence.
Salson's hatred of ". Casimir- Perier, he
asserted, was due TO the latter's laws
against anarchists. He admitted that he
pulled the trigger Of his pistol at the
time Of his attack upon the Shah, but In
this case again the weapon missed fire.
Salson explained that, hoping to insure
the explosion OF the cartridge, he had
filled the point of the hammer. This
saved the Shah's life, as the hammer
had been filled toa much. and the pulling
OF the trigger only resulted in making
a small dent on the cartridge.
Salson's last employer states that ne
was a model workman, that he never
discussed politics, but one day he aston
ished his companions by saying: "Why
should we work? Thus we enrich 9th
ers and gain only a livelihood. Would
it not be better to return to the state
Of nature when men lived happy and
idle, on fruits and game?'
A special dispatch received here today
from Madrid. says that the Spanish pre-
mier, Senior Silvela, intends to take the
initiative looking toward an interna tIonal
conference for the suppression OF an
archists, and the Spanish government
has decided to apply vigorously the laws
against anarchists.

KAISER'S FOOT IN HIS NJOI1Tu

Copyright, 1900, by the Associated Press.)
Berlin, Aug. 4.-Emperor William has
this week been unusually ,talkative, es-
pecially during the embarkation of the
China troops. Besides delivering a regu-
lar sermon to a large body of departing
troops aboard a ship, promising, from
passage in the Second Book of Moses,
about the struggle between the Israelites
and the Amalekites, that so long as the
troops and those remaining at home
prayed hard for success against the Chi
nese, victory would be theirs The en-
peror also yesterday addressed a num-
Der Of Lloyd workmen. The Lokal An
zeiger states that the emperor decorated
them personally, aided by his officers, at
taching medals to the workmen's breasts.
thanking them and saying that by faith
fully remaining at their posts, in spite of
the strike Of their fellow-workers. the
timely embarkation of troops had been
made possible. Next the emperor severe
ly condemned strikers and those RESPONSE
BILE for lockouts in Hamburg and else
where. for leaving the fatherland in the
lurch at such critical times. Besides these
talks, a number of the emperor's utter
ances made privately this week at Brem-
erhaven have become current, all seeing
that his indignation against the Chinese
is still as strong as ever.
In official circles here it is stated that
there is a strong divergence on the sub
ject Of the policy regarding China be-
tween the emperor and the minister Of
foreign affairs. Count Won Buelow, the
latter being aware that Germany's aim
al obtaining suitable satisfaction in China
are seriously hampered by the emperor's
impulsive uttcrances. It is further stat
ed that hot words have already passed
between the emperor and Count Won Bue-
low on that subject
The Associated Press correspondent
here understands that before an advance
upon Pekin was definitely decided upon
the powers conG tded that hereafter they
would not consider the Chinese third
hand advices. hut it has now been shown
that the Chinese government is not will
ing TO allow the legations to freely COM
municAte with their home governments.
The conclusion was also reached unani-
mously by the powers that Ii Hung
hang was playing false his main object
being 10 retard or Illustrate the advance
on Pekin by various ruses OF which Chi
nese statecraft is always a master.
Indications increase that Germany Is
preparing another large body Of troops
for China The latest news on this point
has been given by the Frankfort Zeitung,
saying that. despite the absence Of off,
cial admission Of the fact. il IS certain
that three other large steamers Of the
North German Lloyd line have been
chartered for September. and that in the
cabinet an order is impending for the
formation of a corps OF 1o,c1o men. OpPo-
sition papers criucise this because the
reichstaE has not been asked 20 sanction
the step. and point out that another
heavy army increase VIII be asked at the
fail session Of the reichstag for the or
ganizstion Of a colonial reserve army.

DOLLAR VERSUS PESO
Porto Rico Upset by Exchange
of CurrenCieS.
GREAT RISE IN PRICES
Matter Due to MiSunderStand-
ing-Great Distress.

Correspondence of the Associated Press
San Juan, Porto Rico, Aug. To-day
marks the beginning Of a general raising
Of prices throughout the island caused
by a misunderstanding of the exchange
of currency. Until a week ago it was
widely known that after August / no
more Porto Rican silver would be ex-
changed, but the notice Of the indefinite
extension of time was published far and
wide Still the idea prevails that hereaf-
ter the peso will be of no value. Yester-
day the banks were crowded after hours.
Through a combination Of the traders
throughout the island foodstuffs and
other necessities rose in price. With
large number it was moving day-a day
for fitting from excessively Increased
rents TO cheaper lodgings. It was also
a day on which money that usually
bought breakfast and dinner bought
breakfast alone. Eggs that heretofore
were bought for two or three centavos,
cost ten centavos; the carbon for boil
ing the eggs. instead of costing 10 cen
tavos cost % centavos. The cost of
every other article of food was raised in
dOOul TIC SAME piOpOTtIOu- Inc WdlI OI
complaint was general. Houses which
have rented for 50 pesos $50 are now
supposed to bring $50. Furnished rooms
at 10 pesos $50 now bring 80, The la
borer who has been getting a peso day
go cents now demands 81. It was com
n only reported that all laborers were TO
strike today for the same amount in
American Oney as was formerly paid
them in pesos. This raise in price is the
result Of a gradual increase, a centavo
or so at a time, commenced a month ego.
1t is evident that a combination exists,
as the proprietors of stalls at the mar
kets were asking the same prices, and
the increase is uniform about town
among the stores selling staples. Sew
eral instances were brought to the at
tention Of the newspapers where pur-
chasers were told that commencing with
today all prices viii be in American
money. According to kilograms received
from many interior towns, the shops are
closed and the peso Is refused in payment
for goods It is feared that riots and
bl oodshed will result before the matter
is adjusted
