fired as the carriage passed him. The
would-be regicide was Immediately
seized. and would have been torn to
pieces by mob had not the police
seized and thrown him into a cab

knives and sticks. The police had
great difficulty in forcing way to the
police station through the crowd, which
shouted alternately:
Kill him" and Long live the
Kingl"
The cab was hacked with knives A
search OF the prisoner revealed pack

only reason for the shooting was ex-
asperation at seeing so many tired
looking personages occupying such
grand coaches" Subsequently he ad-

that he intended to kill the King.

II appears, was temporarily engaged to
watch anarchists. He was dismissed,
however, as the embassy officials dis
covered that he sympathized with the
anarchists. 1t was then that he bought
a revolver and so cartridges and came
to Brussels.

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS.
Cheaper Ocean Postage.

A radical reduction OF the postage
rates on mails TO the leading commercial
nations of Europe will be urged at this
session of Congress by Postmaster-Gen-
eral Payne 1t is confidently expected
that in case the project is successful the
United States foreign trade will be
greatly stimulated 1t is believed that
the nations who are to be approached
with view to being parties to the ar
rangemcnt will readily give their acquies-
cence.
The present rate is cents per half
ounce on letters to foreign countries,
save Canada and Mexico, between which
and this country the same postage rates
are applied as affect mail within this
country. 1t is proposed to put the Gov
ernments OF England, Germany and
France on the same footing. In view
of the greatly increased volume of postal
business and the number of commercial
transactions between this country and
Europe the foreign rate is held to be
entirely disproportionate to the domestic
rate and serves as detriment to the
business interests of the country.

of the buildings were rented The Ma
rine Corps Jared worse, and $4,000 will
