Sunday-Emperor William to At
I tend the Funeral - Coincidence
From LII Hung Chang-The Police
Actiye-Bressi shows no Remorse.
| MONA, July 31.-The body of King
| Humbert, dressed in black, lies to-day
on the bed ordinarily used by him.
Around the massive candelabra, hold
ing burning tapers, at the foot and
head of the bed, are flowers placed by
Queen Marguerite, who passed the long
hours of the night in prayer by the bed
on which the body lies Father Big
| nami, the court chaplain, is in imme-
| date charge of the bier. The Cardinal
| Archbishop of Milan has ordered a
requiem mass in all churches of his
/ diocese.
Enormous numbers Of kilograms Of
regret and coincidence continue to ar
rive. including messages from the most
Industrious families of Rome.
Bressi maintains an air of the ut
| most cynicism. In the course of his
examination he declared himself to be
| a revolutionary anarchist, and said he
was ready to resume operations if he
were released.
The assassin has been removed from
the local police station to the jail.
Signor Siracco, the premier, on his
arrival at the royal villa to tender his
condolences to Queen Margherita, had
an impressive audience, lasting half an
hour. All the royal princes, the Queen
of Portugal and the Duke of Oporto,
have arrived here.
ROME, July 31.-Late this evening
it is reported the body of King Hum
bert will be brought here on Sunday.
Queen Margherita desires to accompany
! the remains.
Emperor William has notified the
| government of his intention to attend
the funeral.
A despatch of coincidence has been
received from Ii Hung Chang.
The police are pushing inquiries In
| all directions, but the information
with regard to the assassin Bressf is
not yet very definite It appears that
when he was searching for lodgings
on Friday at Monza he was accom-
panied by young man, whom the
| police are now seeking. The pistol
the assassin used was a new and
superior weapon marked "Massachu-
| SETS"
The police of Milan searched the
| house of man named Ranella. and,
it is reported, found important papers
showing that Bressi lad relations
with persons in the United States.
and that communications had passed
| between him and them in connection
with the crime.
Bessi and another Tuscan frequented
ed the cafes in Milan, where they were
! overheard discussing a 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.
1t appears that the cordons formed up
on the arrival of the king at the fete
| ground were withdrawn prior to his
| departure. AS the king was leaving a
sort of scuffie occurred. probably pre-
| arranged to distract the attention OF
! the carbineers.
The king was SO pleased with his
| welcome at MonZa, and felt so safe,
that he turned to his aide and said:
i I'd like to return afoot," but he was
| dissuaded
| BTessi was born in Prato in 1859 He
was denounced in 1895 as a dangerous
! rioter and deported to the island Of
Pantellaria. In 1896 he was liberated
under the amnesty after the battle Of
Adowa, and in 1897 he went to the I'm
| tied States
| Queen Margherita has invited Verdi
TO compose requiem mass. If he de-
| clines Mascagni will be commanded.
AS the facts develop it is seen that
warnings of the crime had been given
| and much indignation is felt at the
failure of the police to take greater
! precautions.
A magistrate examined Bressi, who
was sullen and defiant, replying:
I didn't kill Humbert. / killed the
! King"
He admitted that he was In Monza
Park the previous day with lady, and
angrily protested that what he had
done was not crime, but an act Of
! justice.
| Among the persons arrested at Prato
| is a woman named Teresa Brugnoli.

/ assassin.
PARIS, July 31-A special despatch
from Madrid to the Temps. says the
! Spanish police have a picture of
Bressi. the assassin of King Humbert.
, taken at Barcelona last spring during
the visit there of the Spanish min
lister Of the interior, Don Dato. whom
/ he is said to have wished to assas-
sinate; but Bressi was dissuaded from
that purpose by the Catalan anarch-
i lists, whose efforts at that time were
| directed towards securing pardons for
their co-religionists.
The Temps despatch adds that the
police of Saint Sebastian expelled on
Sunday an Italian who had arrived
| from France without papers or means
of support.
