PLOT AGAINST HUMBERT
Growing Belief That His Assassination

Rome August 1.-The Tribune says is believed, was thc outcome of a plot. A nOn-militant anarchist says that a meeting had been held in Paris at which lots Were drawn. and several persons were selected to kill the king.
 In addition to Bressi, five persons have been taken into custody at Monaz.
 The police are pushing inquiries in all directions. but the information with re- gard to the assassin Bfessi is not defi- mite. It appears that when he was searching for lodgings on Friday in Monaz he was accompanied by a young man, whom the police are now seeking. The pistol the assassin used was a new weapon. marked ssachusetts"
 Tn Milan the house of a man named Ranella has been searched, and, it is reported that important papers were found showing that Bressi had rela- tiOnS with persons in the United States and that communications had passed between him and them in connection with the crime.
 Bressi and another Tuscan frequent 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 Dremeditated and the police are charge3 with want of for=- sight. It appears that the cordons formed on the arrival of the king at the fete grounds were withdrawn prior to his departure. As the king was leaving, a sort of scuffle occurred, prob ably prearrang=d to distract the atten- tion of the carbineers. The king was so pleased with his welcome at Monaz, and felt so safe, that he turned to his aide and said:

AN OvERPLUs OF JOY
Innocent Infants Spend Day Full
 of Pleasure.

From any point of view the initial outing of the Innocent Society of In- teresting Infants was the most enjoy able affair in the social traditions of Phoenix. Starting from the Hotel Adams early Sunday morning, a long string of hacks, carrying 125 members of the organization, and headed by the Pioneer band, proceeded to the Leitch ranch, northwest of the city. The pro- gramme began early and ended late and was composed of many things, mostly joy. Informality was a feature which contributed greatly to the oc- casion. And there were other ingredi- ents, not mostly water. To be sure, many members of the society, over weighted with happiness at the relief from arduous labors in Endeavor and Epworth League affairs, relaxed them selves to such an extent as would not be permissible at a Sabbath school pie nic and are repenting this morning amid frequent and luxuriant doses of seltzer and lemon, but all in all, and in direct contrast with expectations and forecasts, it was a model event of so- briety. A great plentitude of refresh- ments served to allay the holiday appe- tite and the menu at the noon dinner was lustrous reflection upon the ca pacity of the Innocents and the good Judgment of the committee of the whole Bottled and barreled amusement was one of the principal numbers on the programme, and a continuous perform ance in the liquid line was given added zest by punctuations of cake-walking, quoit-throwing and other thirst-provo- cative exercises, while elocutionary and musical selections gave variety to the days fun. The Infants have under con- temptation a repetition of yesterdays picnic

w. D. FoULKE FOR M'KINLEY.
Compares His Policy in Acquiring Ter
 ritory to That of Jefferson.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. b. William Dudley Foulke of Richmond, Ind, has notified Charles Hernly, chairman of the republican state committee. that he has prepared to take an active part In the campaign this fall. He has made researches in United States history with a view to comparing the present administrations treatment of Cuba. Porto Rico and the Philippines with the policy of President Jefferson in ac- quirinG the Louisiana territory. In h's letter to MT. Hernly he says:
 '"The name of Livingstone and Mon roe and Jefferson are all held ln higher honor by our people because they made that noble purchase which gave us our first great empire in the west. If Jef- ferson was inconsistent, we esteem him the more, because he dared to be inconsistent in a thiug so vitally af- fecting the best interest of our coun- try. And if President Mckinley has done aught that was inconsistent with previous declarations, history will not condemn him because he esteemed the welfare of the American people as more important than his own consistency. Thomas Jefferson did right in axtend- ing the power and beneficence of Amer ican institutions over America. Mc- Kinley has done right in extending the power and bencflcence of American iE- stituticns throughout the world.''

 Tn republicans of Vermont are pre- paring to carry on the most vigorous state campaign they have conducted in many years, in view of the morals ef- feet that the result may have on the na. i1nal campaign. Otherwise there is also special reason for activity in | V rmcnt, because it has been authori- tatively ascertained that the demo- crats and anti-imp rialists are prepar- ing to wage an energetic campaign in l Vermont and Maine. with the hope Of greatly reducing the republican ma 1 jority and construing tha result as a rebuke to the administration.

 China is not alone the object of the ambitions of the western powers. and in the event of her fall Japans posi- ton will be untenable: thus the inter- 5sts of the two countries are identical.
 The empress hopes that Japan will make common cause with China.
 It is impossible for China now to take proper measures to avert the danger, and she is constrained to rely upon the support Of Japan.
 The emp TOT begs Japan to take ade- quate action to restore peace.
 The Mikado's reply says that the ac- ton Of the insurgents is in complete violation of international law respect ing diplomatists, and the murder of the German minister is a grievous offence.
 The Chinese government should sup press the disorders and rescue the min isters, thus disarming the hostility of the powers.
 Japan is cordially friendly to China, and her only object in dispatching troops is the restoration of order and the rescue of the Pekin foreign com munity.
 She has no ulterior object hostile to Chlna and if proper measures are taken Japan is prepared to use her influence to conserve the interests of the celestial empire.
