BRESCI ISSENTENCED
Anarchist Slayer of King Humbert
Goes Up For Life.
IS TIE EXTREME PENALTY IN ITALY
His Trial Was without Any Exciting
Incidents and Was Quickly
Concluded.

The trial Of Bresci, the anarchist
who July 20 shot and killed King
Humbert, of Italy, at Monza, while
his majesty was returning from a gym.
nastic exhibition, opened at Milan,
Italy Wednesday.
AT the close Of the trial Bresci was
pronounced guilty and sentenced to
imprisonment for life. An immense
crowd Of people gathered about the
court from early morning, seeking adj
mission to the court room, where only
a few places were reserved for the
ticket-holding public.
The hearing began at o'clock.
Bresci sat in the dock, calm and al-
most Indifferent. His counsel, Signor
Morlino, made various requests for
an adjournment, which were refused.
He said that Bresci wrote to the judges
declaring he would not reply to the in
terrogatory.
While the indictment, which was
very long, was being read, Bresci was
apparently unmoved and scanned the
faces of the audience without any
signs of fear or efrontery. The in
dictment showed that the assassin in
dulged in incessant target practice,
and that he prepared bullets so as to
render them more dangerous.
The witnesses were then introduced.
There were eleven for the prosecution
and five for the defense. The exam
ination of Bresci followed.
He declared he decided to kill King
Humbert after the events of MilaD "to
avenge the misery of the peopl, and
my own" He added, 81 acted with
out advice or accomplices.
The prisoner admitted the target
practice and preparation of the bullets.
He spoke in low firm voice and said
said he fred three shots with his re-
golver, Two wooden targets were
here placed on the table before the
judges. Two hours suspension of the
court followed, and then the witnesses
we're heard.
A brigadier of gendarmes, Salvatore,
recapitulnted the story of the assas,
ination of the king. He said he saved
Bresci from the crowd which nearly
lynched the assassin. Bresci when
rescued was covered with blood.
General Ayogadro Des Contes di
| Quinto, the kings aide-de.camp, who
was with the king when he was killed,
recouuted how the king was shot.
The royal groom deposed that he
seized Bresci by the throat. A wit
ness named Ramella, who lodged with
Bresci and friend three days prior
to the crime, said the prisoner was al
ways perfectly calm.

TEXT OF PROPOSAL
AS Suggested to United States By
the Russian Government.
OPPOSITION FROM SOME QUARTERS.
Other Powers Have Been Asked 70 Com
slider tho Matter Fully and Make
Reply Thereto.

The state department has made pub
lie the text Of the Russian proposal
and its response as follows:
Telegraphic instructions sent to the
representatives of the United States
in Berlin, Vienna, Paris, London,
Rome, Toxic and st. Petersburg.
Department Of state, Washington,
August 30, 1900. The Russian charge
yesterday made TO me an oral respect
ing Russia's purposes in China, to the
following effect:
"Ihat as already repeatedly deolar-
ed Russia has no designs of territorial
acquisition in China; that equally
with other powers now operating
there, Russia has sought safety of To-
cations at Pekin and to help the Chi
nese government to repress the trou-
bes that, incidentally to necessary
defensive measures on Russian border,
Russia has occupied Newchwang for
military purposes and as soon as order
is re-established will retire troops
therefrom il action of other powers be
no obstacle thereto; that the purpose
for which the various governments
have eo-operated for relief of
legations in Pekin has been
accomplished; that, taking the position
that, as the Chinese government has
left Pekin, there is no need for her
representative to remain, Russia has
directed Russian minister to retire
with his official personnel from China;
that the Russian troops will likewise
be Withdrawn; and that when the gov
eminent of China shall regain the
reins of government and afford an au-
thority with which the other powers
can deal, and will express desire to
enter in negotiations, the Russian gov
eminent will also name its representa-
tive. Holding these views and pur.
poses, Russia expresses hope that the
United States will share tbs same
opinion.
