Result OF n Plot.

jians will prove by their deeds that theii
institutions do not die"
Result of 81 Plot.
The Tribuna of Rome says the assas,
sination Of King Humbert is believed to
have been the result of a plot. \ non
militant anarchist recently declared
so the Tribuna asserts, that a meeting
had been held in Paris at which lots
were drawn and several persons We're
selected to kill the king.
Besides Bresci, five persons have been
taken into custody at Monza.
Bresci maintains an air of the utmost
cynicism. In the course of his examina-
tion he declared himself to be a revolu-
fionary anarchist and said he was ready
to resume operations If he were released.
The police are pushing inquiries in all
directions, but the information with re-
gard to the assassin Bresci is not yet very
definite. 1t appears that when he was
searching for lodgings on Friday at Monza
he was accompanied by young man
whom the police are now seeking. The
pistol the assassin used was a new and
superior weapon marked "Massachu-
setts."
The police of Milan searched the house
of a man named Ranella, and, it is re-
ported, found important papers showing
that Bresci had relations with persons i'll
the United States and that communica-
tions had passed between him and them
in connection with the crime.
Bresci and another Tuscan frequented
the cafes in Milan, where they We're over
heard discussing n big scheme that would
astonish the world. Everything goes to
show that the crime was long premedi.
tated and the police are now being charg.
ed with want of foresight. 1t appears
that the cordons formed upon the arrival
of the king at the fete ground were with
drawn prior to his departure. As the
king was leaving a sort of scuffie occur
red, probably prearranged to distract the
attention of the carabineers.
The Body at Monza.
