Tone of London Evening Papers.
LONDON, July 30.-Some of the even
ing papers here attempt to trace a con-
nection between the assassination of King
Humbert and the rancorous propaganda
that the Vatican is alleged to have con-
Quoted against the supremacy of the SOW
ereign. These journals point out that the
assassination occurred In the vicinity of
Milan, where it is alleged, the recent in
surrecion was largely fomented by the
Roman Curia. The Globe editorializes a,
follows:
"As long as the Vatican persists in its
anti-nauonal attitude 1t will be in vain To
hope for re-establishing the t~mporal
power of the pope. and SO long will fools
and fanatics be provided with a fearfully
potent reason for sedition and worse"
