VIM. F. Draper, United States ambas-
sador to Italy, who recently arrived
at his home here, when informed OF
the assassination of King Humbert,
was very much affected.
Il am terribly shocked and infin-
itely distressed" he said. This
must have been the work of an ana1-
chist," Gen. Draper continued "At the
time of the attack on the Empress of
Austria, King Humbert was cautioned
to be more careful of his safety, but
he said I must take chances, for that
is part of the trade of king He
was a man always of the most irwin
chile courage 1t was his daily habit
to drive about Rome entirely unat-

Ambassador Draper said that King
Humbert was very popular with all
of his subjects except those opposed
to all government and the extreme
clericals, and added, ''all the world
will sympathize with Queen Margher-
ita in her grief.
the heir to the throne, the Prince
of Naples, is an exceedingly able man
and it is my belief that in his hands
the government of Italy will go on
without break
Il cannot see how this event, unfor-
tunate for Italy and for Europe as it
Is, can affect in any way the relations
of Italy with the United States or
with the rest of Europe"

PATERSON, N. j., July 30.-The
rumor that Angelo Bressi, who was
arrested yesterday at Monza, Italy, for
the assassination of King Humbert,
had lived here, caused quite a sensa-
ton in the Italian quarters. This af-
ternoon after a diligent search among
the Italians, it was learned that a
broad silk weaver named Angelo Bressi
aged about 80 years, had worked in the
silk mills owned by Hamilton & Booth
in this city, up to May 18th last. He
left for Italy about that date and moth
ing has been heard of him since. Dur
ing his stay here, which was about six
months, he lived at the Hotel Barthol-
di, 325 Straight street. Those who
knew him, say that he was of a quiet
temperament, and an inoffensiye man.

Mgr. Angelo di Pietro tperfect OF
the congregation of the counciD took
it upon himself to inform the Pope of
the assassination of King Humbert. He
entered the chamber of Leo at an early
hour. The latter was already awake.
The cardinal cautiously first stated
that an attempt had been made upon
the life of the king, whereupon the
Pope Immediately asked If the wound
was dangerous. The prelate replied
very dangerous; but his anxious air
was noticed by the Pope, who at once
OWNED the truth. His emotion was
such that he was unable to speak for
some time. When his distress had
passed he wished to leave his bed and
celebrate mass for the repose of the
kings soul. Later he summoned Cord
inal Rampolla, (Papal Secretary Of
State) whom he requested to send a

WASHINGTON July 30.-The effect
Of the days news from China was to
freshen the hope that the government
can soon get in direct communication
with Minister Conger. The mass OF
testimony as to his being alive as late
as the 22nd inst, is now so great as to
warrant the department in resuming
the consideration of projects for the fu-
ture
With all its anxiety to get Mr.. Conger
and the Americans in Pekin safely
away, the department is proceeding
with proper caution and is by no
means disposed to accept any PROPOSE
ton that would unduly peopardize
their lives. Such might be the result
of an offhand acceptance of the propo-
sition to have the Chinese government
deliver the foreign ministers at Tien
Tsin, for it is realized that the escort
might be overpowered by superior
forces Of boxers on the way to the sea.
The State Department has come to
the conclusion that Mr.. Conger himself
is the best person to judge of the con-
ditions under which his deliverance
shall be effected, and, therefore, it is
again looking to the Chinese govern
ment to place it in communication
with Mr.. Conger, in order that it may
be advised by him.
That requirement was the first Of
The conditions laid down by President
Mckinley in his answer to the appeal
of the Chinese emperor, so that the
situation automatically, cannot be
said to have been materially changed
by the developments of to-day.
The State Department was inclined to
regard Consul Fowler's communication
as the most valuable confrmatory ev-
idence yet received regarding the safe
ty of the Pekin diplomats,

1t is known here that Germany is one
of the governments which is putting
forth every effort to get into direct
communication with the beleaguered
ministers, and like the United States,

route. An object of special solicitude
is to discover whether Baroness Won
Ketteler has escaped, or whether she
shared the fate of her husband. Up to
