DISTRESSED
Because Of the Attempt Upon the
Princes Life.

London, April 5.--(Spl.)-Ncarly all
the continental journals comment
this morning on the attempt to assas-
sinate the Prince of Wales. Very few
Partisan newspapers, however, express
any opinions. The Gaulols says 1t is
glad that the attempt on the Princes
life had no distressing consequences.
The Figaro says that the feeling of
apprehension and just irritation
against the English, which promised
to revive feelings of anger and hostil-
ity to foreigners, has been happily
abated.
Italy is thrilled with horror over the
attempted assassination and the Pope
is much affected. The Popolo Ro-
mano says:
''The whole press sends affectionate
and respectful greetings to the best
loved sovereign in the world. Let us
thank the Almighty for having rem
dered vain this horrible attempt"

DEWEY
Is Shut Out Of the Democratic
Convention.

Washington, April 5.-(Spl. pl.)-"Being
a Vermonter, am, of course, a Repub-
lican. If l were Georgian ] should
probably be Democrat" is an inter-
view that was frequently shown to
Dewey yesterday, and the Admiral
failed to make any, satisfactory explain
alton of the expression used. The re-
suit is that George Dewey's name,
Democrats say, cannot be mentioned
with propriety In the Democratic con-
vention hall. The general opinion is,
that Dewey, If he is to be candidat
for president, must run Independently
and there are many prominent men
mere who express belief that Dewey
will be clown enough to insist upon
making the canvass as a third party
man.
Dewey's serious attitude is certainly
disturbing the politicians as with Dew
ey, Bryan and Mckinley in the field,
no one could predict the result.

DEwEY's BOOM
Has Struck the Nation Upon Its
Funny Bone.

New York, April 5.-(Spl)-The Suns
Dewey story follows:
Washington, April 5.-Admiral Dew
ey's bid for the presidential nomina-
ton has struck Washington and ap-
parently the country on it's funny bone
and in spite of all that the Admiral's 8
friends, who ever they are, can say or
do, it will be impossible to have it
taken seriously.
Representative Levin, of New York,
is about the only Congressman who en-
dorses the boom and nine out of ten of
every man expressing an opinion,
speaks either ridicule or pity. Naval
officers are less ilippant In their COM
ments than the politicians, but this is
because they are really humiliated and
sorrowful.
Judging from what the Admiral says
himself his candidacy is entirely an in,
dependent one, based on the evidences
o. popularity received in, the way of
letters, etc, and in which the political
leaders of any party have no part. His
platform seems to be the flag and his
conception of the responsibilities of
the Office such as grows entirely out of
his idea of the work involved in ap-
proving or disapproving bills passed
by Congress. The Admiral intimatcs
that he will very soon make public
some official statement as to his views
and plans perhaps before he goes west,
in about two weeks to receive the
great popular ovations that he is as.
sured are awaiting him there. Today
the Admiral and Mrs. Dewey so to
Philadelphia to attend concert un.
der the patronage of Mrs. A. J. Cassatt
wife of the President of the Pennsyl
vania railroad for the benefit of thc
families of the soldiers and sailors
who lost their lives in the Spanish
war The party will return tomorrow
and the Admiral and Mrs. Dewey will
go west In about two weeks.

BLOODsHED

Reached an Agreement.

Louisville, Ky, April 5.-(Spl.)--
late reports say there will be no blood
shed in Kentucky over the gubernator-
ial contest. Last night verbal agree
ment was made by the attorneys for
both sides to let everything remain in
statue quo until the United States Su-
preme Court passes Oh the case. This
agreement will be signed at Frankfort
today. Democratic Governor Beckham
may refuse to sign it, but his attorneys
say they will. Democratic Adjutant
General Castleman is a party to the
agreement. Ell says he would not fire
again at a Kentuckian under any cir
cumstances. Taylor will sign this
