Political Conditions in Italy.

Rome. Aug. 1.-The Italian censors
vigorously suppress ell kilograms re-
lating to political conditions in the
country as a result OF the kings death.
These are momentarIly quiet out OF re-
spect to the dead, but it is admitted
that the situation is very grave. The
radicals and republicans, assisted by
the clsricals, and other aDti'monarch-
lists. practically control the parliament.
There ia q general feeling that some
coup d'etat will be attempted within q
month or ak weeks. The aim of the
republican and liberal elements is to
accomplish a peaceful revolution, but If
the army remains loyal to the king
another outcome is possible. The
strong character of the new Queen
Helene furnishes an element OF doubt
in the situation. If she asserts herself
Italy may get regime OF petticoat
government.
The clerical papers attribute the
crime of the kings assassination 10 the
| irreligion of the masses. The liberals
continue their denunciation of the
crime and the liberal papers advocate
the establishment OF capital punish
mept 10 Italy. 1t was at first intended
to bury the king at Turin, but the
Rome municipality, aided by the press,
successfully protested that the kings Of
Italy must rest in the Pantheon at
Rome, thus asserting the Italian rights
over the city.

the assassin, Bressi, has admitted that
he was selected to kill King Humber
by an anarchist club in Paterson, n. J
Rome, Aug. 1.-Arrests in the assass'
nation case continue to be made and Il

dence that Humbert was the victim OF

have accompanied Bressi from the
United States aud gone with him to a
meeting of anarchists in Paris. Letter
and photographs OF anarchists wert
found on Quintovalli's person. A mar
named Lanner, who is also said TO hhvt
come from the United States with
Bressi, has been arrested at Ivrea,
north OF Turin. Another arrest said tS
be important. is that of Theresa Brug-
noli, at Prsto, Bressi's former home
She is believed to have been the mans
mistress and an accomplice OF his crime
is rumored that tho police hsv'
learned that BTessi Quintovalli auC
Lanner each planned to kill the Kine
if be had the opportunity. 10 addition
to many anarchists in Milan, the kno vi
arrests so far are Madame Rsmola anC
her sou, OF Milan,a man named GiO;ta,
Lanner, Quintovalli and There's

BRESCI THE REGICIDE.

A dispatch from Rome says several
letters were found in Bresci's pockets
signed Fabris. The contents Of these
and other letters in possession Of
the prisoner have not been d.
vulged, but the police admit
that they prove that the plot for the as
sassinatlon Of the King was virtually
hstched in Paterson, NJ. Evidenceaccu-
mulates that after Bresci was designat
ed as the assassin he became faint-hesrt-
ed. Twenty arrests of suspects were
made 10 Milan yesterday. The revolver
used by Bresci was manufactured IN
Massachusetts and bought in New York.
The second revolver, which was
found near the place where the King
was killed is of French make. IL has
incribed on it the date oil the asssssina-
ton of M .Ssdi-CarDot, the President Of
France. The "Triouna" says the asses
sinaticn Of the King is believed to have
been the result of u prearraDged plot.
A noG-militaDt anarchist is said to have
declared that at meeting in Paris lots
we're drawn and man was chosen t.
kill King Humbert. The police 10 this
country are at work on the record OF
Bresci, the regicide. His wife, who
was formally Jennie O'Neill, OF Chica-
go, spoke of him, but gave no clue.
1t has been ascertained ths5 the
Queen warned King Humbert previous
To his departure and begged him not to

WEDNESDAY EVENING. AUG. 1, 1900

Az EXPERIENCE proves that modern
modes of punishment for the crime Of
assassination either Of governors or
presidents in repu blics, or OF emperors,
kings and queens 10 monarchicai gov
ernments. are utterly ineffective, l
might be wise to revert to the more
painful means that were adopted 10
former times. Sudden and painless
death is no terror to a man who is tired
OF life. but a protrscted one, OF intense
physical torture, is, for neither the sym
patty of emotional women nor the ex'
pressed approval OF socialists or an-
srchists, affords the slightest relief 10
scorched, irritated or mutiisteo
nerves. The certain knowledge
that an assassin would be hay'
ed alive and hanged by the rlos'
or burned to death by slow fire, would
do more toward putting an etectual
stop to "king killing" than all the gal
lowses and electrocution chairs that
could be set up, and no just man, pos
sessed Of plain, common sense, could say
that such punishment would not De
we'll merited. Bressi, who says ht
didn't kill Humbert, but only the
King" would be an excellent subject
upon whom to try the suggested
remedy.

GENERAL DAVIS, the military gov
ernor of Porto Rico, is not in favor of
free schools for that island, because
those who attend them would go back
to the squslor and filth, and iadecencg
and vice of their homes, and that evan
the few who would learn anything at
them, would only be made unhappy
and discontinued. General Davis is a
wise man. The negroes and mulsttoes
of this country were great deal better,
happier and more satisfied when they
had no free schools, than they are now.

its preservation to the Chinese govern

appreciated, and those who at first ad-
yersely criticised him are now as sorry
as all TOO previous people usually have
