LONDON, July 3i.-The entire Euro
pean press utters a cry Of indignation
and horror at the Monza crime, and ex-
presses sympathy for Italy and Queen
Margherlta. The difficulty Of dealing
with such insensate anarchist outrages
is emphasized in many quarters. The
Daily Chronicle observes:

No protest against 'monarchial institu-
tons and Bressi, who had been in
America. might have had as coherent a
motive for taking President McKinley's
life as he had for shooting Humbert."
Curiously enough. it seems that there
had been forewarnings of the tragedy.
The Berliner Tageblatt reminds its
readers Of its news from Gratz on June
10. wacn an Italian received letter
from his son saying that the lot had
fallen on the latter to assassinate the
king of Italy. adding that four other
princes were doomed.
At Vienna It is asserted that Bressi
stayed at Budapest two years ago, at
which time he had plenty of money
and attracted the attention OF the po-
lice. who suspected him of being an an
archist or OF having anarchistic procli-
vities. Suddenly on the news Of the
assassination Of Empress Elizabeth of
Austria, he disappeared
Many arrests Of Italian suspects have
occurred recently at Ischl, the summer

NEW YORK. July S1.-Gradually a
number Of facts concerning Gaetano
Bressi. who assassiuated King Humbert
of Italy. are being brought to light.
He was a native Of Tuscany, Italy.
and came 20 the United States
FIVE years ago. He was not natura-
llaed American citizen. though his wife
is Of American birth.
Bressi eft Paterson, N. j., on May
%. sailing for Havre by the French
line steamer La Gascogne, He told his
wife that ne was going to visit his
birthplace in Italy to look after little
property that belonged to him. But he
sailed under an assumed name-Branchi
Gressari. His wife says she received a
letter from him since he arrived in Mi
Ian. hut he said nothing about killing
the king. She refused to believe that
her husband was the assassin, even
when the newspaper reports were
shown to her 1t was only when the
assassin in Milan confessed his name
and glorlfed in his crime that his wife
believed. Mrs. Bressi lives in Hoboken.
When shown copies Of the papers
containing the dispatch describing her
husband and giving the date of his
birth and other facts, she exclaimed:
MY God, Can It be he? I cannot
believe it, 1t is hardly two months
since he left me, and it was only three
days ago that got letter from
him. telling me how happy he was and
how soon he expected to be home. I

all that and was opposed to kings ard

violent. He was afraid Of mouse.
He would not have had the courage to
commit such an awful act And vet the
description matches him so correctly. |

MIDDLE Over the Naval Bill In the
House.
Washington. April 81. - AS a result
of protracted struggle in the house
yesterday the provision of the naval
appropriation bill to enable the secre-
tary of the navy to contract for ar
NOR plate for the battleships Maine,
Ohio and Missouri, now awaiting their
armor equipment. at $545 per ton, the
price asked for Krupp armor, is out
of the bill, as is the provision to repeal
the $500 limitation placed upon the
armor by the current law. The fight
came at the end of the consideration Of
the bill. Although the provision was
obnoxious to the rule, all the minority
members of the committee had agreed
to it, but when the majority declined
to allow the discussion of Il proposition
for the establishment of an armor
plate factory they retaliated by raising
a point of order against the two pro-
visions above referred to, and they
We're ruled out The exact effect OF
the action of the house is disputed.
The appropriation of 81, 100000 under
the head of "armor and armament re-
mains OH the bill as we'll as the Ian
guage of the proviso authorizing the
secretary of the navy to contract for
armor of the best quality for the
Maine. Ohio and Missouri, the words
stricken out being Eat cost not to eX-
coed $545 ton, including royalties"
1t is contended by some that this en-
powers the secretary to contract for
the armor without regard to cost. BY
others it is claimed that the provision
will be ineffective unless the senate in
serts the price. So much bad feeling
was arounscd by the wrangle over the
armor plate provision that Mr.. Under
wood of Alabama began a tlibuster
after the bill was reported to the
house, and finally forced an adjourn
ment without final action on the bill.
Before the armor plate question came
up two amendments to modify the pro-
| vision for the increase Of the navy,
which authorizes two battleships and
| six cruisers. We're defeated. One pro-
| posed to add a provision for six gun
| boats and the other to strike out the
provision for the battleships. The
question Of building ships in govern
ment yards did not reach a vote as the
amendment offered to this end was
ruled out on point of order.
| The Senate.
The senate had under consideration
during the greater part of the days
session the conference report on the
Hawaiian civil government measure.
Mr.. Cullom made an extended eXplana-
ton of the changes in the bill. The re-
port was the subject Of sharp criticism.
Final action upon it was postponed IN
til to-day. The Alaskan civil code bill
was up for brief time, Mr.. Bate of
Tennessee delivering a speech in oppo-
sition to the pending Hansbrougl1
amendment relating to the rights of
alien miners. Mr.. Foraker of Ohio
pronounced an eulogy upon the late
Lorenzo Danford, representative
from Ohio, and the senate adopted res
olutions expressive of it's SORROW.

Washington, April 19.-The debate
on the naval appropriation bill under
the five minute rule yesterday drifted
into politics and for good portion of
the afternoon members fought ham,

The partisan rancor almost eliminated
in a sensational scene between Mr..
Grosvenor Of Ohio. the champion of the
administration. and Mr.. Williams Of
Mississippi. Some of the Democrats
began worrying Mr. Hawley of Texas
by pointedTy asking if the president
had not changed his mind on the Porto
Rican tariff question, and Mr.. Gros-
venor finally threw himself into the
breach. : Mr. Williams made an in
terruption that drew sharp reioinder
from the Ohian about 1.-THE unfair adj

This aroused the wrath of the latter,
he made a singing response in which
he said parliamentary language would
not permit him properly to characterize
Mr.. Grosvenor's offense. Later Mr..
Grosvenor disclaimed intentional af-
front. and there the matter ended.
Some progress was made With the bill.

academy at Annapolis was pending
when the house adjourned.

During almost the entire session OF

spontaneous combustion. The Robert

Believed that n Warrant Is Waiting

Frankfort, Ky, April Oft is re-
ported that Gov Taylor left Washing
ton Thursday night to join his family
at Louisville, and that he may arriev
here to-day. There is said to have
been much communication by wire
Thursday between here and Washing
ton. Friends of Gov. Taylor say he is
ready to meet any charge that may
have been brought against him, but
they do not want him incarcerat ted
without bail, which they say he can
give in any reasonable amount. The
clerk Of the court insists that there is
no record on file Of any Taylor indict-
ment returned Thursday in the clerks
Office. The circuit judge can hold an
Indictment until the bench warrant has
been served, and such is believed to be
the case in this instance. Current re-
ports are generally credited that the
warrant even has been issued ready
for service on the return of the gov
ernOr.

DIRECT STEAMERS TO EGYPT.
United States Consul Urges the Need

United States Consul Urges the Need
of a Regular Service.
Washington, April %. - Consul e..
Bic Ravendal, at Beirut, under date OF
April 1, writes to the state department.
concerning the urgent need of COM
plete, direct, and above all, regular
steamship service from Syria and
Egypt to the United States. The con-
sui says that through the efforts Of
Consul General Dickinson. CONSTANT
nople, Smyrna and the Grecian and
Black sea ports have been supplied
with direct monthly steamship COM
munication with New York, and that
this step has given Il wonderful i'm
petus to the commerce of the countries
concerned. A great many Of the prin-
cipal seaports of Syria and Egypt,
however, have, perhaps, but one or two
direct steamers from the United States
annually, and the consul believes that
the rapidly growing trade fully war
rants the establishment Of direct
monthly steamer service with every
port of Importance.
