KING KILLING ALL RIGHT.
Anarchists Adhere to It as Constant
Policy.

New York, Oct. 9.-One of those ex-
amined by Supreme Court Commissioner
Trimble, in the course Of investigation
into the alleged anarchistic plots in
Paterson, N. j., which resulted, it is
charged, in King Humbert's Leath, has
been B. Masotti, who is reputed to be
usually the secretary of anarchists meet
ings in that city. When questioned as
to his testimony, he said
Il told the commissioner that there
We're several anarchist organizations in
Paterson, but they were divided on the
! question of killing the heads Of govern
. ments, although as a rule they do not
question the killing of kings as matter
OF policy. The purpose of our organiza-
ton is to advocate the abolition of all
governments and government restriction
and the substitution of individual lib
erty. When it comes to a matter of
killing ruler, we are divided, some
approve of it and some do not, because
1t is likely to throw discredit on us and
our work. If an anarchist kills a king,
he does so of his own volition, and this,
l believe, was done in the case of King
Humbert. I knew Bresci we'll, but I
know of no plot being Matched here by
him or any one else to kill Humbert."

Helena, Mont, Oct. s-The state repub-
lican committee today ISSUED the tolioW-
ing instructions to voters:
If YOU want to vote you must be prop
erly registered. The period of registration
extends from the fourth Monday prior
to election da to the second following
Saturday, or, in other worcs, from Oct.
18th to Oct. 27th inclusive.
If by sickness or physical disability or
by unavoidable absence during the entire
previous two weeks of the period of reg
istration from your registration district
YOU have been unable to register, you
can do so on the second Monday prior
to the general election October 29th) at
the main and home office or rne registra-
ton agent by making affidavit to these
facts and producing such other evidence
as will satisfy the registration agent
that such is the case.
If you live in a registration precinct in
cluded in an incorporated town or city,
and the town or city contained at the last
state election over one Thousand register
ed voters, you are required to register or
you cannot vote. If you live in any other
registration district than a registration
precinct included in an incorporated
town or city which contained over one
thousand registered voters at the last
state election, and you were duly regis
tered and voted in said district at the
general election in 1898, you do not have
to register provided you have been a con-
tinuous resident of the Registration dis
trict in which you voted in 1885, If you
have removed from the district in
which you registered in 1898, it will
be necessary for you to register again

compact.
The drain of money caused by the GUS
tom house here still continues and local
bankers have decided that there is no
way under the present United States
laws to stop it. Every month the custom
house collects from fifty to a hundred
thousand dollars and sends it to the main
land for duties and as it is paid by Homo
lulu firms, the drain on the gold in the
country is very heavy. Congress will be
asked to relieve the situation by allow
ing the sending of drafts instead Of gold
as is required by the laws now.
Nothing has been heard of the missing
Massachusetts, long overdue from New
Castle, and it is generally supposed that
she is lost. Several vessels which left
New Castle long after the Massachusetts,
have arrived here.
Wireless telegraphy still continues to
be a failure here. The longest channel
between any of the islands is only 81
miles with nothing intervening, while all
the other ocean distances it is necessary
to cover are less than 80 miles. Up to
this time, however, the wireless teleg-
raphy company has not been able to
make the system work.
The destruction of forest lands on the
islands is being generally discussed as a
cause of the decline in rainfall and 1T is
proposed by some that the matter be
| placed in the hands Of congress until the
| local authorities find a way to stop the
| destruction of timber.
F. D. Gamewefl, president of the Uni
| verS'ty of Pekin, is a passenger on the
steamship America Maru, arriving here
today from the Orient en- route to San
Francisco. 1t was he who fad charge
| Of the Notifications during the recent
| siege at Pekn. President Gamewell is
emphatic in his opposition to the Russian
policy of withdrawing from China. He
says Ii at such a policy would be suicidal
for the powers and would be accepted by
most Chinese as proof that the foreign
ers had been driven out. The Chinese,
says Gamewell. would think that those
who did go to Pekin only went there to
pay tribute to the imperial government.
