SALISBURY ON ANARCHISTS.
They Threaten Destinies of Society
in the Early Future.


LONDON, July 31.-Movng an address
to the queen with reference to the assas-
sination of King Humbert of Italy, the
premier, Lord Salisbury, said in the house
of lords today, that anarchists are not
confined to any one political opinion. He
said the last half century had seen the as
S s .ination of three presidents Of republics
and two monarchs.
ut was a fearful thing" Lord Salisbury
said, ito contemplate this depth of human
villainy, before the smiling surface of the
society threatening the destintes Of soci-
ETY. in the early future"
The premier paid a glowing tribute tc
the character of King HumbZert, who, he
said, had unfaggingly worked for the
benefit of his country and people.
The assassination of such man could
not be considered private revenge; 1t was
nothing but that morbid thirst for notori-
ETY. which is the plague and curse Of mod
ern civilization, which had time and again
led men to the commission of foulest
crimes, and which threatened the very eX-
istence Of society If it could not be ar
rested. He did not propose to speak OF
remedies for such a state of things, but
he had never hesitated to express his own
views in that respect. Modern society had
erred on the side of leniency.
The earl of Kimberley, Liberal, seconded
the mot on for the adoption of the add ess
which was adopted both in the house OF
lords and in the commons.
In the lower house, A. J. Balfour, first
lord of the treasury and government
leader, spoke in a similar strain to the
speech of Lord Salisbury and Sir Henry
Campbell-Bannerman, the Liberal leader
in the house of commons, seconded tho
motion.

LONDON, July 31.-A dispatch received
at the war office today from Lord Rob-
erts materially modi6es yesterdays state
ment of the surrender of 5000 rebels
under Gen. Prinsloo. 1t now appears
that Gems. Prinsloo, Villiers and Crow
ther surrendered with 9S6 en-, 1,432
horses, 955 rifles and a Krupp nine-pound-
er.
Some of the leaders in more distant
parts of the hills hesitate to come in,
on tn eplea that they are independent of
Gen. Prinsloo. Lord Roberts adds that
he has directed Gen. Hunter to resume
hostilities forthwith and to listen to no
excuses.

MURDERER,s WIFE SEEN.
interviewed by Italian Consular
Agent at HObOken.

NEW YORK, July 31.-A representative
of the Italian consulate went to Hoboken
today to see the woman who says she is
the wife of Bressi, the assassin of King
Humbert. The object of the visit was to
obtain information concerning the man
for the use of the Italian authorities in
prosecuting the murderer
Mrs Bressi, whose maiden name was
Jennie O'Neill lived in Chicago before
coming east to Hoboken, where she met
Bressi <
Mrs. Bressi was closely questioned by
the representative of the Italian consul
late, and she told him the same story
regarding her husband that she had al
ready told to the reporters. The police
searched the house, but found no evidence
TO show that either the woman or her
husband were connected with a plot for
the assassination of King Humbert.
1t is stated that Mrs. Bressi will be kept
under surveillance. The consul general In
tbs city is to communicate te with the Ho-
boken police in case the woman is needed
by the Italian authorities as witness.

Ieved to have been the result of plot
A non-militant anarchist recently de-
cIared, so the Tribuna asserts, that
meeting had beeen held in Paris at which
lots were drawn and several persons
were selected to kill the king.
The papers announce that King Victor
Emanuel III. will reach Brindisa today
md will go directly to Monsa. Besides
Bressi, five persons have been taken into
custody at Monsa.
In the absence Of the new king, the
ministry has issued in his name, mani
Eesto to the nation as follows:
king Victor Emanuel III, in ascend
ing the throne, has to perform the pain
full duty of announcing to the country
the awful calamity which has violently
cut short the valuable life of King Hum
bert
1.-The nation wounded in its sincere af-
lection for the august dead, in a sincere
feeling of devotion and adhesion to the
dynasty, while execrating the cruel
crime will be plunged into profound
grief for the venerated- memory of good,
brave and magnanimous king, the pride
Of his people and the worthy perpetuator
of the traditions of the house of Savoy,
by rallying with unshakeable loyalty
around his august successor. italians
will prove by their deeds that their in
stitutions do not die"
The king is expected to arrive at Reg
ri di Calabria tomorrow. He received the
first news of the assassination of his
father by semaphore.
HIS WEAPON.
The police are pushing inquiries in all
directions, but the information with re-
gard to the assassin, Bressi, is not yet
very definite It appears that when he
was searching for lodging on Friday, at
Monza, he was accompanied by a young
man whom the police are now seeking.
The pistol the assassin used was new
and superior weapon, marked "Massa-
chusetts."
The police of Milan searched the house
of man named Banella, and it is re-
porte found important papers showing
that Dressi had relations with persons in
the United States. and that persons had
passed between him and them, in connec-
ton with the crime. Bressi and another
Tuscan frequented the cafes in Milan,
where they were overheard discussing q
big scheme that would astonish the
world. Everything goes to show that the
crime was long premeditated and the
police are now being charged with want
of foresight. It appears that the cordons
formed upon the arrival Of the king at
the fete grounds were withdrawn prior
to his departure.
AS the king was leaving, a sort of scuf-
fe occurred, probably prearranged to dis
tract the attention of the carbineers.
The king was so pleased with his well
come at Monza and felt so safe that he
turned to his aide and said:
I'D like to return afoot." but he was
dissuaded,

BERLIN, July 31.-The Chinese situa-
ton has rather fallen into the back
ground in consequence of the death Of
King Humbert and the Duke of Sake
Coburg and Gotha and the papers are
hlled with these two items The alb
sence Of Emperor William retards the
making of official arrangements for par
ticipation in the funerals. A representa-
tive of the Lokal Anzeiger interviewed
Count Won Buelow minister Of foreign af-
fairs, on board the imperial yacht Hohen-
zollern today, and was assured by the
minister that the kaiser was deeply
touched by King Humbert's death, but
did not anticipate any change in Italian
German relations.
Emperor Williams dispatch of condo
lence was answered in the most cordial
terms by Queen Margherita and the
Hohenzollern flew an Italian flag at haif
mast. The Berlin court has been ordered
to go into mourning for three weeks.

the massive candelabra holding burning

are flowers placed by Queen Margherita,

Enormous numbers of kilograms of re-

including messages from the most illus

Bressi maintains an air of the utmost
cynicism. In the course of his examina-

ready to resume operations if he were re-
leased.

LINCOLN, July S1.-The withdrawal of
Hon. Charles A. Towne from the Popu-

is still an undetermined question. Mr..
Towne spent nearly all of today in Lin

train for Chicago tonight he stated to
the Associated Press correspondent that
he was not prepared to say whether he
would remain on the ticket or would
withdraw. Neither Mr.. Bryan nor Mr..
Towne would discuss the mission of the
latter or the subject of their conference
for publication. That it had to do with
his withdrawal, however, there is little
question.

WASHINGTON, July 31-The war de-
partment this evening received two cable
grams from China. The first read:
"Chefoo, (undated) Cerbin, Washington:

from Conger says since 18th by agree
ment no firing. Have provisions several

WELCOME NEWS.
The official confirmation of the news
that Minister Conger- is safe and well.
coupled with the statement that he has
provisions for several weeks and that the
firing on the legation has ceased, was
welcome intelligence, though not unex-
pected in view OF recent news This in
formation from Col Daggett was prompt
ly telegraphed to President Mckinley at
Canton, who has been advised of the re-
ceipt of messages always as soon as they
reach here.
The last message which came from
Minister Conger was that which was OBJ
tanned through the intermediary of Mr..
| WI and was supposed to be dated the
18th inst, before which time nothing
had come since June H. almost two
months.
1t is expected now that all the energies
of the government as we'll as those Of
other nations will be concentrated for an
advance on Pel1in. Several of the reports
which .baYe come from China seem to in
dicate that this will occur very soon,
some Of the dispatches placing The date
! as early as yesterday. The officials here,
however, do not look for so early an adj
vance If the allied commanders adhere to
their original estimate of $4,000 men as
necessary for the campaign as the latest
reports received here do not show half
that number on the ground.
OFFICERS HAVE FREE HAND.
Still other reports indicating the pos
sibility of the advance being made by
the British and American armies have
! come and our officers commanding in
China have a free hand in any military
movements
The proportion of men of the Ninth in
fantry reported by Col. Daggett as sick
is considered an alarming and unfortu-
nate feature of the situation. Officials
are unable to account for it, but agree
that IT may delay any immediate move
ment forward. The delays In unloading
| the transports also are discouraging and
vexatious. Surgeon General Sternberg
already had given public notice that one
| hundred contract surgeons are wanted
for service in the East, but it will be
some time before they can be On the
ground ready for active work.
