Bressi, the Assassin, Declares He Is
Ready to Kill Another King
If Released.
ARREST OF OTHER ANARCHISTS
MANIFESTO IN BEHALF OF THE NEW
RULER OF ITALY.
Victor Emanuel En- Route to Rome
The AssassinatiOn Denounced
by Lord Salisbury.

MONA, July 31.-The body of King
Eumbert. dressed in black, lies to-day on
the bed ordinarily used by him. Around
the massive candelabra holding burning
tapers at the foot and head of the bed
are flowers. placed by Queen Margherita,
who passed the long hours of the night in
prayer by the bed on which the body lies.
Father Bignami, the court chaplain, is in
immediate charge of the bier. The cardinal
archbishop of Milan has ordered requiem
mass in all the churches in his diocese.
Enormous numbers of kilograms Of regret
and coincidence continue to arrive, includ-
ing messages from the most illustrious
families of Rome.
The formal act of recording the death
of the King was drawn up at 1 o'clock
this morning in the Kings bedroom. 1t was
witnessed by Count Rudini, former prime
minister. as notary for the crown. The
minister of the interior and other officials
were present
Signor Saracco, the premier. on his ar
rival at the royal villa to tender his con-
pressive audience lasting half an hour. All
the royal princes. the Queen of Portugal
and the Duke of Oporto have arrived here.
Queen Margherita has invited Verdi TO
compose a requiem mass. If he declines
Mascagni will be commissioned
Bressi. the assassin, maintains an air OF
cyncsm. In the course of his examination
he declared himself to be revolutionary
Anarchist, and said he was ready TO re-
sumo operations if he was released. He has
been removed from the local police station
to the Jail.
Bressi was born in Prato in 1869. He was
denounced in 1885 as a dangerous rioter
and deported to the Island of Pantellaria.
In 1896 he was liberated under the amnesty
after the battle Of Adowasi and in 1891
he went to the United States.
AS the facts develop it is seen that warm
ings of the crime had been given and much
indignation is felt at the failure of the
police 10 take great precautions. Signor
Saracco questioned number of witnesses
of the crime. General Ponzio-Vaglia, King
Humbert's premier aid-de-camp. testified
that the shots were fired in such quick sue
cession that he had no time to protect the
King. A magistrate examined Bressi, who
was sullen and defiant. replying: II did
not kill Humbert. / killed the King" He
admitted that he was in Monza Park the
previous day with a lady and angrily pro-
tested that what he had done was not a
crime, hut act of justice.
Among the persons arrested at Prato is a
woman named Teresa Brugnoli, said to
have been the mistress Of the assassin.

DENOUNCED IN PARLIAMENT.
Speeches by Lord Salisbury and 9th
ers on the Assassination.

ers on the Assassination.
LONDON, July S1.-Moving an address
to the Queen with reference to the assas-
sination Of King Humbert. of Italy, the
premier. Lord Salisbury, said in the House
of Lords to-day that Anarchists are not
confined TO any one political opinion. He
says the last half century had seen the
assassination of three presidents of re-
publics and two monarchs. "It was fear
full thing" Lord Salisbury said. Ito con-
template this depth of human villainy be-
meath the smiling surface of society,
threatening the destinies of society in the
early future"
The premier paid slowing tribute to the
character of King Humbert, who, he said
had unfiaggingly worked for the benefit OF
his country and people. The assassination
of such man could not be considered
private revenge; it was nothing but that
morbid thirst for notoriety which is the
plague and curse of modern civilization,
which had time and again led men to the
commission of the foulest crimes and which
threatened the very existence of society II
it could not be arrested. He did not pro-
pose to speak of remedies for such state
of things, but he had never hesitated to
express his own views in that respect
Modern society had erred on the side OF
leniency.
The Earl of Kimberley QiberaD Sec
onded the motion for the adoption of the
address, which was adopted both by the
House of Lords and in the Commons.
In the lower house. A. j. Balfour, first
lord Of the treasury and government lead
er, spoke in a similar strain to the speech
by Lord Salisbury. and Sir Henry Camp
bell-Bannerman, the Liberal leader in the
House of Commons, seconded the motion.
The entire European press utters a cry
of Indignation and horror at the Monza
crime and expresses sympathy for Italy
and Queen Margherita. The difficulty OF
dealing with such insensate Anarchist out
RACES is emphasized in many quarters. The
Daily Chronicle observes: 1.-The dagger
that killed Carnot was no protest against
'monarchical institutions and Bressi, who
had been in America, might have had just
as coherent motive for taking President
McKinley's life as he had for shooting
Hunbert."
The Gazette orders the court in mourning
for King Humbert from Aug. to Aug %
and for the Duke of Saxe-Coburg from
Aug. TO Sept 1S
