PLOT TO KILL KING.
A Sensational Story Circu-

RECENT ILLNESS WAS FEICNED.

LONDON, June 1S.-A sensational
story is current in London of the dis.
covery of a plot to assassinate King
Edward. This story has created con,
siderable discussion in newspaper and
other circles, but it is lacking in any
thing like official confirmation.
According to the current report,
King Edwards sudden illness at Alder
shot was not due to a cold, but was
merely an excuse for withdraw wing his
majesty from public functions owing
to the discovery by Scotland Yard of
plot against his life. The prnc-
pals in this plot have not yet been ar
rested.
1t is cited in confirmation of this
story that King Edwards recovery
when he was ensconced at Windsor
castle was as complete and speedy as
lis attack had been sudden.
On the other hand, it must be pointed
out that if his majesty's illness was
merely diplomatic the officials certainly
took great deal of trouble in keep
ing up the fiction. Sir Francis Laking,
physician in ordinary to the king, was
summoned by telegraph to Aldershot.
His prescriptions were hurriedly filled.

TRENTON, n. j.. June 1S.-The Of,
fice of the secretary of state was kept
open until late last night to receive the
papers incorporating the United States
ShlpbuildinS company. This is the
company that includes the Crescent
shipyards of Elizabeth. n. j.. of which
Lewis Nixon is the head. The compa
ny was expected to be Incorporated
with an authorized capital of $4,000
600, but the papers filed last night fix
the capital at $4,000. This amount of
course can be increased, and in fact
the incorporation of the company for
a very small amount Is the policy that
was followed by the United States
Steel corporation and other big coll
Germs and subsequently increased the
capital to many millions. The United
States Shipbulding company in addi-
ton to including the Crescent ship
yards of Elizabeth is understood also
to include the Union Iron works of

President and General Manager Alfred

issued to District Attorney Jerome.
In answer to questions by Austin G.

Charles L. Gardner, for the company,
hs said:
Il have charge of the operation of
the road and the buying of supplies
and coal. We require 5000 tons Of hard
coal to run our trains for a week.
When We heard that strike was i'm
minent in the anthracite region, we
called upon the contractors for a larger
reserve fund and for larger daily or.
ders.
Usually We have 10000 tons in re-
serve. That is the greatest amount we
can store. When the strike was de-
clared, we had $4,000 tons. We began
using it, or rather continued, hoping
that the difficulty with the miners
would be settled in short time. Yes
terday we had only 1000 tons. We are
now using anthracite on the engines
which pass hospitals, public institu-
tons and apartment houses. That is all
we can do. We are helpless"

New Castle, June 1S.-The CLOSING
exercises held in No. 3 school were
well attended by the parents and
friends of the schools. Miss Leach
and Miss Calrick as we'll as the
children deserve credit for the excel
lent program rendered. A feature
OF the occasion was the graphaphone
accompaniment to the singing. The
school room was tastefully decora
ted for the occasion and the visitors
enjoyed the treat just as much as
the children. Children and some
parents do not appreciate the schools
The best teachers that can be Sc
cured are here, the best books are
used and the children have chance
that thousands never get because of
the distance between their homes
and the schools and the lack of funds
to get good teachers. The graduates
OF the New Castle schools are hold

BILL FOR BANKRUPTS
House Favors Fifteen Amend

an EFFORT TO REPEAL Is DEFEATED

to the Senate Before the End of
the Present SessiOn-Canal
Debate Continued,

WASHINGTON, June 1S.--The house
J spent yesterday considering bills re.
ported from the judiciary committee.
BY far the most important measure
was that to amend the existing bank
ruptcy law. The minority made Wig
orous effort to repeal the present law
in toto, but We're overwhelmingly de-
feated-65 TO 1877. The bill passed
amends the law in fifteen particulars
to meet defects which, it is said. ex-
perienee has proved. The most i'm
, portant amendment is one to define
preference to meet the supreme court
decision in the case of Prize versus the
Chicago Title and Trust company.
-Four additional grounds for refusing
discharge in bankruptcy are also
added: First. obtaining property OH
credit on materially false schemes: Sec
Ond, making Il fraudulent transfer of
property; third, having been granted
or denied Il discharge in bankruptcy
within six years, and fourth. having
refused to obey the order Of the court
or refusal to answer material qucs-
tons approved by the court
There was some renewal Of the talk
of treaty with Cuba, and it was
stated that ii was quite probable that
1t would be sent to the senate before
the adjournment Of the present scs-
sion. 1t is therefore probable that at
tOnightS conference the beet sugar
Republicans will be asked to say
whether they would support a treaty
on the lines Of the SpUoner bill. While
they do not feel called on yet to define
their position on this point. they say
they once earlier in the negotiations
suggested il treaty AS Il compromise
and that it was then rejected hence
that they Go not now feet under obi
cations to bind themselves to accept
anything. Tie impression is strong
that legislation either in the form OF
an act or Il treaty is quite out OF the
question for this session. Some of the
reciprocity leaders freely admit this,
and, Wh!lr others more hopeful do not
go so far even, they admit that the
chances are doubtful.
