+, PittsburS. Pa. Aug. IA special to the
commercial Gazette says:
Tonight at the mouth of an abandoned
mine near Shaner Station on the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad. a large gathering
or anarchists met to cXult over the killing
or King Humhcrt. The meeting was in
charge of 6. Ciancahlla. editor of I'Au-
rora. the anarchist newspaper of HOboken.
n. j.. who spoke for un hour. rousing his
naai, he;treEs TO a high pitch of rejoicing Clan
cabiila diSciaimed all knowledge of BreSci's
mission to Italy but heartily approved OF
the result.
He claims it was not a plot in which
anarchists We're concerned Bresci alone
knew in his heart what his intentions were.
Of the report that himself Bresci, Cor! and
Maintesta met in Madrid 4 year ago and
con,octed the plot. ne says he was not in

case any further representa- ations are made
hy the Italian Government.
The authorities are Mortified taat the
United States should have been thu, seat OF
the conspiracy. and they propose to- use
every available channel to punish the plot
ters, provided the proof necessary TO estab-
lish their guilt can be obtained ard 4; law
can be found unG,r which they can be pros
ecuted.
An examination of the revised statutes of
the United States fails 10 show an! section
under which CCrspiratols against the life
of 4 foreign ruler can be punished. Besides
the treaty of eNtradition with Italy of 1863
specifically provides that the provisions of
this treaty shall rot apply to any crime or
offense of p political character"
Baron Fava has not asked for the extra
diiion of any persons who took part in the
conspiracy. nor is he likely to do so. "a
such IL request could not be entertaiued BY
this Government. Ii may be, however, that
the laws OF New Jersey contain Il provision
under which the conspirators can he prose-
cuted.
The administration Is especially anxious
10 show Italy that ii proposes TO take what
ever action it can 10 punish any persons
who conspired with BreSci against the King.
1t is appreciated that unless vigorous
measures are taken Italy will consider that
this Government has behaved in an un-
friendly manner anu the cOiulil TeldlioiiS
which exist between the two Governments
may. in consequence be endangered.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York. Aug. 1.-Gaetano Bresci will
be tried for treason, according to well-in-
formed italian lawyers of this city, and will
be shot. Under the Italian law the penalty
for murder is life Imprisonment. bur for an
act of treason the death penalty is pro-
vided 1t is optional with the Government
whether the proceeding against Bresci
shall be for treason or murder, and, from
what is known of Victor Emmanuel III, it is
predicted that he will demand the extreme
penalty for his fathers assassin.
John Palmier, an Italian lawyer of this
city. thus described the proceedings which
will be followed In Brescis case:
"The assassin of King Hurnbert will first
be taken before the Pretore. an official cor
responding to committing magistrate in
this country. The procedure is entirely diff
ferent, however. Our Jurisprudence regards
man as innocent until he is proven guilty;
he has tn, benefit of counsel and his rights
are safeguarded. In Italy they act on the
presumptj'" that the man is guilty until
he establ hes his innocence. They hold
an interrogatione, asking questions tending
to bring out the motive for the crime. The
accused is not permitted to have counsel,
and no questions can be asked except by the
Pretore.

an anarchist. that he went from this coun-
try for the purpose of killing the King, and
that he fired the shots. The Pretore will
hold him for the Camera di Consiglio cor
responding TO our Grand Jury. The evil
dence taken at the interrogatione will be
read and indictments for murder and for
treason will be found against him.
Bresci will be sent to the Cassazione,
