SEATTLE, Aug. s.-rhe sixty-thres
delegates Of King county, comprising
the solid delegation. win go to the
Republican state convention in Tacoma,
August 15 under instructions Of the
county convention to use all honorable
means to secure the nomination Of sem
ator J. NJ. FrInk. Of Seattle, for gov
ernor.
When the convention reassembIed at
. o'clock this morning, IT was soon
made apparent that a compromise had
been reached.
All factions had determined that the
stormy scenes Of yesterday should not
be re-enacted. and the convention pro-
ceeded to work harmoniousIy up to the
close.
The Frink supporters this morning
recognized as temporary chairman
Frank P. Lewis, whose election yes
terday they asserted had been fraudu-
lently procured. In return the Humes-
Guie combination seconded the nomi-
nation Of s. II. Piles for permanent
chairman. and he was unanimously
elected.
There was some opposition against

but OF this there is 70 evidence. ex-

he shed tears when the policeman said

Popular Indignation against the
would-be assassin Is nowhere more
marked than among the working class
es here. The leaders OF the socialists
and OF the proletarIat, such as Jean
Jaures, yivlani Gercault and others,
denounce the criminal attempt In the
strongest possible language. and even
Henry Rochsfort attacks the criminal
with his heaviest yiedge-hammer ad-
Jectives.
The congratulations received tonight
by the Shah amounted almost to an
ovation. The presence Of sangfroid
shown by the Shah and his general ad-
wiser instantly ceased at the dlsarmlDg
Of the assassin. and in an on-hand way
the Shah remarked to police agent:

move was made today in the dIplomat-

answer by Ii Hung Chang to Secre-

government, ordered the Pao Ting

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-Detectives
have found the room in which it is
claimed that the plot to kill King Hum
bert was formed. It is on the second
floor Of West Hoboken. n. j., resort
for anarchists, and is in the heart Of
the Italian settlement. The place has
not been known as a meeting place for
anarchists. There have been no public
meetings held there. and the room
where the men met was kept for the
most secret conference purposes. These
detectives say they learned last night
from socialists who attended a meeting
at the place that less than four months
ago two Italians, a man and woman.
arrived in Hoboken. and an important
conference was held in this room. At
the conference there We're anarchists
from New York. Brooklyn, the Italian
colony in Philadelphia and Paterson
ami Vest Hoboken. This socialist
never saw Bressi and never saw Quln-
tevallo. but the description OF the men
tallies with that of two of the men at
the conference.
Mrs. Bressi, the destitute wife of the
assassin. and her little daughter are
in this city from their home in West
Hoboken. for the purpose Of seeing the
Italian consul-gensral. Mrs. Bressi said
she wanted to write a letter to her hus-
band. but the consul-gsneral told her
it would not be delivered. The woman
then asked II it would be possible for
her to get any valuables her husband
had in his possession when he was ar
rested. He had diamond Of consid-
cradle value, she said. The consul-gen-
eral promised to do what he could for
the woman. When she returned to
West Hoboken she found a man rep
resenting himself as United States
secret service agent awaiting her. He
questioned her at great length, but she
was unable to give him any more in
formation than already had been made
public. Mrs. Bressi, who is in delicate
health, was so overcome by the fatigue
of her trip to New York that she had to
take to her bed soon after her return.
and last night her condition was con-
sidered serious.
1t is learned that the assassin, ,Bressi.
was a member of what is known as the
International Group" of anarchists.
The police have also learned that prior
to Bressi's leaving this country he was
rendered a banquet by group Of an
archists in this city, The celebration
took place in an anarchist resort in
Beecher street. Ten persons were pres
ent. Besides Bressi there were Saliva
tor Quinto, a man named Ssssi and a
man named Lanner, or Lana, all of
whom are under arrest in Italy. The
other guests are not yet known to the
police, but one Of them was said to be
q woman. This would seem to Indicate
that there were at least eight persons
in the plot to kill the king.
The feasting continued into the early
hours, until it was almost time
10 reach the steamer on which they en-
barSed on their murderous mission.
Teresa Brugnou, the woman arrested
in Italy, is believed to have been the
same who was present at the banquet.

WASHINGTON. Aug. S.-The opera
tons OF the American forces in China
are seriously handicapped by delay in

About $500 American troops, iuolud-

OF Tlcn Tsln, available for active oper-
ations against the Chinese capital. with
prospects OF 1900 reinforcements from
the United States arriving in small

months.

NEW YORK. Aug. IA special to
the Tribune from London says:
There are fresh rumors OF an advance
upon Pekin. but these are probably pre-
mature. The outposts have been ex-
tended as reinforcements have been re-

have been reconnoissances, but II Is not

pared to undertake the responsibility
of march upon the capital. or that ii

doubtful II a column more than 10000
strong can be spared for this expedi-
tion, after adequate provision has been
made for the defense OF Tien Tsln and

tc guarantee the rescue OF the legations.
