AN ATTEMPTED AssA>s NATION
The Prince and Princess OF Wales
Narrowly Escape aseing Killed by
Frov,L RrnSEafs


Brussels, Belgium, April "A sensa-
tional attempt to ass9 ssinate the Prince
of Wales was made at railroad station
here to-day by Sipido, a young anarchist,
who fired two shots, but the Prince es-
capped unharmed. The would-be assassin
was Immediately arrested. The train bear
ing the Prince was just pulling out of the
Northern railway station. at 3:35, when
Sipido jumped upon the footboard of the
Princes saloon car, aimed his revolver at
His Royal Highness and fired twice.
Hearing the Shots the station master
rushed to the scene and knocked down ST.
pido's arm as the latter prepared to fire
a third shot, while bystanders rushed up
and threw themselves on the Princes as
sailant. In the confusion, another man,
who was innocent, was seized, roughly
handled and beaten.
Intense excitement prevails for the
moment, as it was feared the Prince had
been hit, the shots having been fired al
most point blank. The railway carriage
door was hastily thrown open, and great
relief was felt when the Prince himself
appeared al the window unhurt. Both the
Prince and Princess, however, had very
narrow escape.
After the Prince of Wales had ascer-
tdliIGC llldl lIG 1iIctiI w no III GU TIC SllOlS
had been arrested, he declared himself
and the Princess uninjured and the train
Immediately started. The Prince appeared
quite unaffected by the incident. He asked
whether the revolver was loaded and on
being Informed IN the affirmative, smiled
and begged that the culprit might not be
treated too severely.
When examined by the station officials
Sipido declared he intended to kill the
Prince of Wales, that he did not regret
his action, and that he was ready to do
it again if given a chance to do so. SUBJ
sequently he declared he wanted to kill
the Prince because he caused thousands
of men to be slaughtered in South Afri-
ca The would-be assassin is tinsmith
a resident of Brussels, Is years of age
His pockets were found to be full of an
archist literature. He has round, boyish
face, black eyes and dark hair. At the
examination before the magistrate it was
ascertained that he had purchased a pen
ny ticket in order to reach the departure
platform, where he walked up and down
quite while while the Prince was prom
enading.

A SCHEME TO HEAD OFF BRYAN.

New York, April "A Washington dis
patch to the Evening Telegram says: 1t
has developed that the announcement Of
Admiral Deweys candidacy is part of a
well-laid plan of Eastern Democrats to
head off Mr.. Bryan's nomination. The
Evening Telegram's dispatch continues:
The Admiral will not admit that there
is any organiza ton behind mis- candidacy,
or state whether he would like the Re-
publican or the Democratic nomination.
He told me to-day that he was in the
hands of the American people, and was
as willing to obey orders from them as
he has been from his superiors in the
navy. He said:
% I have every reason to believe that
there is popular demand for my nominal
ton. / decline to say whether I am a
Democrat or a Republican.
g I want to be the peoples candidate I
fully realize that in announcing my will
ingness to become candidate my troub-
les are beginning, but man who has the
interest of his country at heart cannot
escape his share OF them and I am will
ing to risk all that may come to me.
From every State in the Union and
from all classes of the people I have re-
ceived gratifying evidence of a desire for
my nomination."

HEROES.

Paris, Texas, April 4.-Hon James G.
Dudley, of this city. Texas member of the
National Democratic Executive Commit
tee, in answer to a telegram asking his
opinion in regard to Admiral Deweys
candidacy for the Presidency, replied as
follows:
Admiral Dewey will not be nominated
by the Democratic party. The lesson
learned by the nomination of Horace
Greeley is still remembered. Nor do I be-
lieve that he will be nominated by the
Republican party. This is no time for

suited with some profit. If Bryan cannot

BOERS PREPARING.

Large Force Under Joubert Said to Be
Concentrating at Abrahams Kraal.
I LONDON, March GA dispatch to The
Times from Osfontein. dated March 2,
dilates upon the increasing difficulty
of telegraphing as the army advances
through the enemy IS country - The cor
respondent says:
Forage for horses is almost unob-
tainable on the journey. The where
abouts Of the enemy is not exactly
known, but the mobile commanders are
lowering around our army. We antici-
pate opposition at Abrahams haal, 80
miles east of Paardeberg, where General
Joubert is reported collecting a force
from the whole Of the Ladysmith forces
with the Northwestern Free Staters.
zst 4 q President Steyn arrived at the Boer
camp at Abrahams haal on the morn
ing Of Feb. 81 and harangued the
burghers, exhorting them to remember
Majuba and to deliver Cronje."
Abrahams Haal, as shown in the war
Office maps, is group Of three kopjes
situated at the junction Of Kraal spruit
with Modder river 1t is a natural
point of concentration, which the Beers
could make exceedingly strong, but,
after the proofs of the mobility of the
army of Lord Roberts, it may be
doubted whether they will make a
really serious attempt to bar his ad-
vance there. ~ %@.. ~ l.g.<~'t 4

SIEGE OF LANYs

Corresponding Tell of the Fortitude OF
the Garrison There.
DURBAS, Friday, March The.
newspapes correspond dents who have.
reached here from Ladysmith say that
the enthusiasm of the garrison and of
the inhabitants of the besieged town
was. intense when the relieving column
entered. Men left the hospital and even
the women and children went forth tE
greet the newcomers. 1t was noticeable,
however, that the latter We're the most
demonstratiye, cheering the women and
children whom they We're proud to have
saved.
The correspondents believe that the
garrison could have held out until April
2, though rations had necessarily been
reduced to the minimum. The men of
the garrison will require a rest and the
horses are much wasted. n 45 3
The correspondents paid high trib-
ute to the courage and heroism of the
women. Never a complaint was heard
from them in spite of their unexampled
priyations, and their endurance and
courage We're beyond praise
Sad sights We're often witnessed when
the sparse rations were being drawn
Children would pathetically seek milk
for their sick mothers. The women and
children were estimated at 500. Though
there was much sickness arising from
the horse meat diet, and the absence of
farinaceous food, the epidemic period
was passed safely. "a .sz
Dr. Jamison is suffering from typhoid
fever.
General Butler entered the town at
noon Wednesday. escorted only by his
staff. His bronzed appearance was very
striking. He had not entered a bed for
three weeks. 5S# $
| The Beers exchanged shots with the
relieving force, which saw few corpses
lying in the road. 1t is believed the
Beers are retreating to Glencoe.
The correspondents eulogiize Generals
White and Hunter. ..

M'KINLEY ON IMPERIALISM.

ss New YORK, March 6.At the banquet
Of the Ohio society at the Waldorf As

to a toast in his honor, said:
There can be no imperialism. Those
who fear are against it. Those who
have faith in the republic are against it..

only difference is that those who do not
agree with us have no confidence in the
virtue or capacity o., high purpose, or
good faith Of this free people as a civil
lzing agency, while we believe that the
century of free government which the
American people have enjoyed has not
rendered them faithless and irreso-
lutte, but has fitted them for the great
task of lifting up and assisting to better
conditions those distant people who
have, through the issue of battle, be-
come our wards. Let us fear not There

The harder the task the greater will

To do1bt our power to accomplish it is

The iberators will never become the

hnue the march of faithful service and

Surrounds the Movements Of the
British Army in South
Africa.
Practically Three Armies Now iii
the Field---HoW They Are
Distributed.
Conflicting, Rumors at Loure EMO .
Marques Of the Intention Of
1 the Beers.

LONDON, March 6. The air Of mystery
which covers the movements of the
main British army in South Africa con-
tiinues, though what information leaks
through Indicates that the campaign is
being carried on with steady progress.
There are now practically three British
armies in the field, one in the Free
State, one in Cape. Colony and the other
in Natal.
All that is known about the first and
most important is that it is in close
touch with a body Of Beers supposed to
number about 5000 men. Speculation
as to the direction and method of Gen
eral Roberts advance into the Free
State is quite worthless, SO carefully are
the plans concealed. s.
In Cape Colony, Generals Brabant
and Clements command the two horns
of the army, while General Gatacre
holds the main Boer force in check.
Generals Gatacre and Clements will
probable combine and advance on
Bloemf mfontein, with General Brabant
guarding the right flank with mobile
colonials This movement will be sub
sequent to securing a line of commune
cations along the lines Of the Free State
railroads, which according to the
latest dispatches seem almost accom-
plished. The third army that in Natal,
is comparatively inactive and with
the exception of sorties, a serious
movement can hardly be expected from
it this week. W hen it will be ready to
advance, its movements must greatly
depend upon how much distance the re-
treating Beers put between themselves
and General Butler. AS an incident Of
the British main objective, which at
last is clearly outlined as Pretoria, the
relief Of Mafeking BY q force from the
south may be expected any day, Colonel
Plumer's force, on the north seeming
incapable Of accompli plishing it. 5.: 4
The unexpected activity Of the Cape
Dutch and the reported likelihood of
fighting between them and the Rasutos,
aided by other tribes having a grudge
against the Beers, is regarded as rather
ominous. y5 55
The only other untoward phase of the
military situation that the critics can
discern is the enforced temporary mac
tiyity OF the Natal army an instance Of
which is contained in the dispatch an
.nouncing that the flying column which
attempted to intercept the Boer retreat
only succeeded in driving the enemy
further north. General Whites men,
according to The Times correspondent
at Lad ysmith, will require fortni ght's
recuperation. N 5aa 8s

Persistent reports continue that the
1ransvaal Republic has opened negotia.i
tions looking to the securing Of peace.
On the other hand, it is asserted the
Beers will make q stand at Glencoe and
Iaing's Mex, and that in the meantime,

tended in anticipation Of a siege. AI

the Beers in Natal was hurriedly ar
ranged on receipt OF .newe of General;

night, official conf rmation of the sur
render was withheld from the public.
Urged to stand Fast.
President Kruger sent q fervid re1ig-,
ions appeal, with orders that it should
be read by all the officers to the burgh-
ers urging them to stand fast and strive
in the name Of the Lord, for, unless
they had faith in Him, cowardice would
set id and their position would be hope
less the moment they turned their backs
on the enemy. Their past victories, he
declared, showed that the Lord were on
their side The president beseeched the
burghers not TO bring destruction on
their progeny. Continuing, the speech
says that d high authority in Bloelmfon-

pulse Of the Free State forces, the latter
will retire towards the IransYaal and

Senator From Minnesota Would
Extend the, Constitution Over
Porto Rico
Insofar as Rights Of Trade and
Protection CO. Text Of His
Amendment.
Porto Rican Bill Likely to Cause
. Split in Indiana Republi-
can Circles.

WASHINGTON, March 6. Senator Da-
Wis of Minnesota offered an amendment
to the Porto Rican bill in the senate.
Its affect is to have the tariff laws of
the United States applied to Porto Rico
upon foreign imports, but allows abso-
lutte free trade between the United
States and Porto Rico. He also proposes
q new section, as follows: &
For the purposes of this act, the
following provisions Of the Constitution
of the United States are hereby extend
ed and made applicable to Porto Rico:
The congress shall have power to lay
and collect taxes, duties, imposts and
excises, to pay the debts and provide for
the common on defense and general vel
fare Of the United States; but all duties,
imlposts i'm and excises shall be uniform
throughout the United States.
No capitation or other direct tax shall
be laid, unless in proportion to the cen
sus or enumeration here1nbefore direct
ed to be taken. FIT a%
No tax or duty shall be given by any
regulation of commerce or revenue to
the ports of one state over those of an
other; nor shall vessels bound to or
from one state be obliged to enter, clear
or pay duties in another.
The amendment is as follows:
'tAnd tits hereby enacted that all
duties, imposts and excises imposed or
levied, laid or collected, by congress
upon Porto Rico, or any products
or business thereof, or in rela
ton to said Porto Rico, shall be uni
form with all duties, imposts and ex-
cises laid and collected throughout the
United States. 4
That no capitation or other direct
tax shall be laid by congress in or upon
Porto Rico, unless in proportion to the
census or enumeration directed to be
taken by the Constitution.
t'That no tax or duty shall be laid on
articles exported from Porto Rico.
.'That no preference shall be given by
any regulation Of commerce or revenue
to the ports Of Porto Rico over those of
any state of the Union, nor shall vessels
bound to or from Porto Rico be obliged
to enter, clear or pay duties in any state
of the Union.
''Nor shall any preference be given
by any regulation of commerce or rev
enue to the ports Of any state of the
Union over those of Porto Rico, nor
shall vessels bound to or from the ports
of any state of the Union be obliged to
enter, clear or pay duties in any port of
Porto Rico MEET.
Senator Davis says his amendment
speaks for itself. 1t extends the Con-
stitution over Porto Rico, and by so
doing implies that it cannot be ex-
tended to the Philippines Or other terri
tories except by legislative action.
