NEW KING ARRIVES TODAY
The Formal Act of Recording the
Death Was Drawn Up Yesterday.
ENORMOUS NUMBER OF TrLEGRAMS
Bressi Maintains the Utmost Cynicism, and
CeclareS Himself to be Revolution
ary Anarchist. Would Do
So Again.
(By the Associated Press.) }

Monza, July 31.-The body of King
Humbert, dressed in black lies today
in the bed ordinarily used by him.
Around the massive candelabra holding
tapers at the foot and head of the bed
are flowers placed by Queen Margherita,
who passed the long hours of the might
in prayer by the bed on which the body
lies. Father Bignami, the court chap
lain, is in immediate charge of the bier.
The Cardinal Archbishop of Milan has
ordered a requiem mass in all the
churches in his diocese.
Enormous numbers of kilograms of re-
gret and coincidence continue to arrive,
including messages from the most illustri-
Gus families of Rome.
The formal act of recording the death
of King Humbert was drawn up at 1
o'clock this morning in the kings bed
room. 1t was witnessed by Count RIdini
former prime minister, and the Royal
household. The President of the Senate
acted as notary for the crown. The Min
lister of the Interior and other officials
were present.
Bressi maintains the utmost cynici3m.
In the course of his examination he de-
clared himself to be a revolutionary an
archist, and said he was ready to resume
operations if he were released.

THE CRIME PREMEDITATED.

Rome, July 31.-The police are pushing
inquiries in all directions, but the in

Bressi is not yet very definite. 1t ap-
pears that when he was searching for

companied by a young man, whom the
police are now seeking. The pistol the
assassin used was a new and superior
weapon marked Massachusetts" The
police of Milan searched the house of a
man named Ranella and, it is reported
found important papers showing that
Bress had relations with persons in the
United States and that communications
had passed between him and them in
connection with the crime.

astonish the world Everything goes to

king today amid the applause of the peo-
pie. Perfect tranquility reigns through

A deputation of Senators and deputies
had arranged to meet King Victor En-
manuel; but as in conformity with court
etiquette the journey of His Majesty to
Monza was strictly private, the idea was
abandoned. For a similar reason the
ministers decided not to go to Naples.

SMALLPOX OR YAws?

The Times-Republica prints in this
issue communications from two physi-
clans on the subject of yaws and small
poX. They are both in favor Of the
smallpox diagnosis OF the prevailing
disease in Iowa and elsewhere. and
against the theory Of tie Marshailtown
physician The Times Republican can
overlook the ungallant thrust of one of
these doctors at the editor since the
latter is merely an Interested observer,
of the dispute. and since his shaft is
really aimed at the dissenting phvsi-
clan. Not to do the latter an injus-
tice, the Times Republican suspects
that the prominent and experienced
Aarshalltown physician may have
made his statement as q feeler, tobring
out opinions that Will tend to settle the
question for an increduious puzzle.
That doubt exists among the doctors
and the people no fair, observer can
deny The doctors are responsible for
it 10 some extent. Cases have been
diagnosed as smallpox by one physician
only TO be determined otherwise by an
other II is possible that the first doc
tor may have had doubt and to shield

may have taken the prudent side until

THE CUBAN POSTAL FRAUDS.

II writing 10 the Fort Dodge Messen-
ger OF the tfievesy in the cuban postal
tgerviea. Of the chagrin of the admins
tration and the determination to punish
offenders. Director Of the Mint Roberts
reviews the affair 90 follows:
The Cuban postal scandal is deeply
sdeploreG by everybody. for it touches
the nationa, honor and national pride
The administration is, chagrined and
disappointed, for it has been using its
utmost endeavors to send only trust
worthy and competent men To Cuba.
No man could have better endorsements
from his home and state than Nicely
had. Furthermore Nicely could not have
stolen the postal funds unasssted. An
effort has been made to show that the
5Cubans had extraordinary powers vest
ed in them and hence had extraordinary
opportunities, but while il is true that
they disbursed funds, without regular
appropriations by congress- that fact
afforded no facilities for stealing. The
same system of checks existed in Cuba
that are maintained here. The postal
system there was modelled after our
own system, being organized BY a
picked set of experienced men who We're
sent down from this country. The steal
ing in Cuba was accomplished by coll
fusion between number of officials
whose duty was to check each other and
stealing could be done by the same con-
spiracy in this country. There is no
possible way TO protect the treasury,
against conspiracy among all who are
sworn to guard it.

We get the same description in all our

when was in the West Indies fifty
three years ago the treatment OF the
tumors was similar to bubo. and while
some OF its phenomena is similar to

acteristics are quite different. During

taken for other diseases. but on the
third day. when the eruption appears

and hard and feel like shot underneath

ton a vascular point Is formed at their
apex. Within the next two days the
vesicles enlarge to the size of small
peas and become indented or umbili-
Gated The qualification is Characters
tic. About the sixth day OF the erup-
ton the vesIcles become turbid from
the admixture of pus and are then
termed pustules. at which time the pus-
tuie ruptures discharge their contents
and form yellow scabs. When suppura-
ton commences, what is5called the sec
ondary fever arises, lasting from three
to five days, the primary fever disap-
pearing with the appearance OF the
eruption with the formation OF the yel-
low scabs. Dedication or drying OF the
scabs lasts from two to four days, when
the scabs commence to fall OFF, com
mencing between the eleventh and six
