Brescl Ha. No Regre,.

New York, Nov Mrs. Gaetano
Bresci, of West Hoboken. wife of King
Humbert,s assassin, now serving life
geon, received yesterday the first mes
sage from her husband since he left her
to kill the Italian king. In his letter
Bresci briefly relates the story of the
assassination, and says that he has no
regret to offer for his crime. In fact,
he expressed satisfaction that he had
succeeded in killing King Humbert, and
said that he Is satisfied to spend the re-
mainder Of his life in prison.
Bresci says he is brutally beaten al-
most daily by the prison attendants in
their efforts to kill him and is subjected
to much abuse. He is not allowed to
talk or make any outcry, and is kept
In a deep. damp we'll and compelled to
stand. Whenever he tries to lie down
his guards haul him up with ropes and
compel him to stand. He is never haul
ed out of the well. he said, excep. once
day, when he is given bread and
water.
Bresci speaks bitterly Of his treat
ment, saying that his guards do not res
gard him as human being. but treat
him worse than a brute" He says he
understands that he will be compelled
to undergo this treatment for a year.
and then II he Is alive he will be con-
fined In a solitary cell for the remain
der of his life.
He expresses fear that he will become
insane before his yea. OF punishment
expires, as only few prisoners have
ever outliyed such punishment. Nearly
all died or became raying maniacs.
Brescl begs his wife to send him
money with which to purchase under
wear and necessary clothing. He
states that he has succeeded, thru the
aid OF fellow convict. in smuggling
this letter out Of prison. as the rules
prevent him from communicating with
his friends Of the outside world. He
also states that thru bribery he could
Induce his guards to furnish him with

Buffalo, Nov. 1.-The Roosevelt special

of the Roosevelt train war made at Ba-
tavia. The governor said in; part:
Beyond all other issues are the Issues
OF orderly liberty under the law and

Croker, represents the forces which
stand for civic dishonesty and now they
openly champion the cause OF riot, mob

polls. Without any rebuke or repudia-

who was visited week ago at Bal

with the feeling Of the nation and of
the party that has returned him to
power and other organs are in state
of disgust over the appointment.
Salisbury himself is no less out of
humor than his friends. He proposed
| the duke of Deyonshire to the queen for
the foreign office. but the tender was
Erejected and the sovereign insisted on
her choice of Lansdowne.
1t has been given out that Lord Sails
bury has resigned the foreign Office be-
cause of i'll health and at the advice of
his physicians, but even If this be true

3should have yielded to the appointment
