DEATH IN BRITISH ROYAL FAMILY
The Duke of SaXe-Coburg Second Son
of Queen Victoria Dies of Paralysis
of the Heart.

Coburg, July 31.-Prince Alfred Ern-
est Albert, duke of Saxe-Coburg, sec
ond son of Queen Victoria, died at 10
o'clock last night 1t Rosenau castle
from paralysis of the heart. The duke
by his sudden demise escaped a pain
full, lingering end. Recently at a con-
sultation of specialists in Vienna it
was discovered that there was a can
cerous growth at the root Of his
tongue. AT the desire of the duchess
and other members of the family who
were aware of the nature of the dis
ease, the duke took up his residence at
Rosenau. His royal highnesS was I'M
aware of the real state Of his health
and hoped he would recover, until
Friday last, when his condition became
such as to preclude hope. Saturday
and Sunday he suffered such violent
attacks of s~uffocation that arrange
ment We're made for performing the
operation of tracheotomy. Finally the
duke died without having suffered Sc
we're pain.
During h minority of his heir, the
Duke of Albany, the government of
the duchy will be conducted by the
hereditary Prince of Hohenlohe-Lange-
berg, the guardian of the young duke.
London, July 31.-The funeral of the
late duke will be held at Coburg on
Friday, August Bird. The Prince OF
Wales will represent the. queen. He
will be accompanied to Coburg by
either his son, the Duke of York, or
his brother. the Duke of C~onnaught.

Raleigh. y. C. July 31--This after

There was a large democratic gather

democratic candidates TO divide time

Neither went. but Senator Butler sen
a pop1list name league, from Forsyth
county, TO speak.
The democrats said they did not care
to divide time with such small fry as
league. so their speaking went on.
league went 10 another place to
| speak. He was given notice thai the
best thing for him TO do was 10 leave
town and the last seen of him he was
departing.
Senator Butler got a telegram that
the stand from which league was
speaking had been torn down and
league pulled off.
The governor, later, got a telegram
AOA u. -. Il oil ( SulUoL VI kc ltpuD-
lican paper there and chairman of the
county committee, saying a mob was
threatening TO destroy his office and
that he was in his office and his friends
were guarding il, that HIS life was in
danger and he demanded protection.
The governor ordered Captain Ber-
nard, of Company B, to go TO Smith
field, see Parker and ascertain the con-
dition of affairs and TO then use his
discretion as to the best methods of
protecting Parker n his property.
A call on the Southern railway for
a special train to leave at ! o'clock was
made.
While the troops were waiting your
correspondent telegraphed to Smith
field and the reply came that all was
quiet, that not a shot had been fired
and the only persons hurt were a negro
who was hit with a brick and a man
whose fingers were bitten.
Democratic State Chairman Simmons
expressed the opinion that the order for
troops was a political dodge; that the
sheriff had not called on the governor
for troops; that any disturbance al
Smithfield had ended early in the day
and that there was no shooting.
The military went to the train, blu
as soon as they began boarding il ar
order came from the governor that
they should return to their armory and
hold themselves in readiness.
The governor had a telegram from
Sheriff Ellington saying everybody haC
left the town and that all was quiet.
There is no end of indignant com
ment here tonight that the governo
should have ordered troops TO go L
Smithfield, without application from
the sheriff or any civil officer, blu
merely on application of a private citi
zen. Sheriff Ellington telegraped I
the governor that he heard onl
through a third person that troop
We're to be sent. 1t is regarded as un
accountable that the governor Shout
have acted so hastily and in disregar
of law and the proprieties.

The formal act of recording the
death of King Humbert was drawn UP
at 1 O'clock this morning in the kings
bedroom. II vas witnessed by Count
Tudini, former premier. and h royal
household. The minister Of the inte-
rior and other officials We're present.
Bressi maintains an air of the ut
most cynicism. In the course Of his
examination he said he was ready TO
resume operations if he were released.
Reggie di Calabria, July 31.-King
Victor Emanuel III arrived here at
noon aboard his yacht, preceded by a
torpedo boat which had been sent in
search of him. The king started for
Rome at l o'clock p. n.
Rome, July 31.-The police are push
ing inquiries in all directions, but the
information with regard to the assas-
sin, Bressi, is not yet very definite. 1t
appears that when he was searching
for lodgings on Friday at AIOnZa he
was accompanied by a young man,
whom the police are now seeking. The
pistol the assassin used was a new and
superior weapon marked "Massachu-
sets"
The police of Milan searched the
house of a man named Ranella and it
is reported found important papers
showing that Bressi had relations with
persons in the United States and that
communications had passed between
him and them in connection with the
crime. Bressi and another Tuscan
frequented the cafes in Milan, wher
they were overheard discussing a big
schme that would astonish the world
Everything goes to show that the
crime was long premeditated the
police are now being charged with
want of foresight.
1t appears hat the cordons formed
upon the arrival of the king at thu
fete ground were withdrawn prior t.
his departure. AS the king was leav
