RUMoR, KINGS ASSASSINATION.
False Report Causes Great Alarm in
 London.

Londno, May S.-A rumor that King Edward had been assassinated gained circulation here this morning. The ru- more caused great alarm in London of- ficial and court circles. Anxious in- quiries concerning the truth of the re- port were made, and from Buckingham palace telegrams were immediately sent to Paris. The replies that there was no truth in the rumor brought intense re- lief to all classes of society.
 An incident occurred this evening on the street, but it was apparently of slight importance. At the moment when President Loubet was leaving the British embassy after the reception fol- lowing the dinner, a movement in the crowd about the embassy attracted the attention of the police. An investiga- tion was made and the police arrested three suspicious characters.

 New York, May 3.Police Sergeant Gilhooley, who was shot last night by Jefferson Saunders negro waiter, who at the same time killed Policeman Pe- ters and desperately wounded PoIice- man Russo. died in the hospital to-. night. Russo's condition is dangerous, as he was shot through the lungs, but he has fair chance of recovery. Saunders was held to await the action of the coroner. He made statement that he had been assaulted by the three policemen, who were unknown to him and were in citizens dress, and that he used his pistol in self-defense. Six wit nesses of the affair were committed to the house of detention.
 Saunders, according to the police, has been known as s.bad nigger' for many years. He has been concerned in numerous shooting and cutting, affrayss and has served in all nearly twenty years in Sing Sing. A police investi-s gation shows that the three policemen, who were attached to the borough of Queens, had no business in the saloon where the affray occurred. Gilhooley collapsed while attempting to make an anti-mortem statement. No statement has been secured from Russo.

 New York, May S.--Central office de- tectives arrested to-day three men who according to Inspector McClusky of the detective. bureau, are members of the famous gang known as the Information al bank sneaks. One of the men, &C., cording to McClusky, is the notorious Joseph Kiloran, whose escape from Ludlow Jail, where he was awaiting trial for postoffiee robbery, with two other men named Allen and Russell. made great sensation in 1895. Another of the men is said to be Kiloran's broth- CT, John, and the third gave the name of George Watson.
 After3 tseir 5escape from jail here Kilora1l,, Allens and Russell fledLato Eu- rope and are said to have stolen $75,00O from a bank ih Brussell. Kiloran was arrested but not convicted and his companions escaped. Later Allen was convicted of stealing $10,0O0 from bank in London and is now in jail.

PRAYER BOOKS AS MISSILES.
Police Called in to auell Fight in u
 Joliet, Ill , Church.

Joliet H., May 3.-A pitched battle in which prayer books and broken furni- ture were the missiles took place in the Slavonic Roman Catholic church here to-day, and when the police arrived to quell the disturbance the belligerents turned from each other and united their forces against the officers. The fight, which grew out of old factional differ ences, resulted in no serious bodily harm to any of the two thousand men, women and children who were in the church when it began, but the panic among the affrighted women and chil- dren was the cause of severe bruises. Bloody and lacerated faces and hands were evidence of the fierceness of the contest, and the protests of Rev. Father Kollar and others were unavailing to restore peace.
 The men had been penned in by a mob of angry women, who pelted the stronger sex with whatever they could lay their hands on. The men who could fled or jumped from the windows, and when the police arrived they returned to the assistance of the women. It was not until the police had drawn their revolvers and threatened to use them that peace was restored and arrests were made.
 To-day's riot was an outgrowth of long standing trouble between two factions, each of which has tried to control the church. r~.> :=

Lorain,. O., May S.--Rev. Father Charles ReichIin, pastor of St. Joseph's R. c. church in this city and brother of Agatha Reichlin, who was murdered last Thursday night, to-day made a sen sationsl denunciation of the authori- ties for the arrest of Rev. Father Ferdi- srand Waisar on the charge of murder ing his sister. The occasion was at the services this morning in that church and the place was from the altar steps.
 Father Reichlin was greatly affected over the happenings of the week and could hardly speak. Several times his voice was husky from emotion and he paused frequently to overcome his feel ings.
 Father Reichlin's statement was as follows:
 Various events have happened dur ing the past tweek No doubt they have lesson to us. The lesson is that we should always be ready for death, for we know not when it will please the Lord to call us to Himself. Avoid sin and do good. The lesson also is how It. atle we can trust the world.
 s Brutality is not a thing that is or was confined to the so-called dark ages; it is not exclusively confined to non-civilized countries; it is right here at our home, in this twentieth century. The world sees it every day.
 'I am sorry to see that Father Wal ser is connected with the murder of my sister. I am sorry because know, I am convinced before God that he is absolutely innocent, and that no matter how strong public opinion is, how spite full, how atrocious that public opinon may be, it cannot make him out mur- derer, the murderer of my sister. The time will come when I will give my version of the bloodhound story upon which the character of public opinion seems to be based. I believe. Father Walser is innocent until he is proven guilty. Personally must say that do not know which assault is most brutal, the assault os the murderer upon my sister or the assault upon the reputation of Father Walser, the assault made by public opinion upon that good priest.
 ''In your prayers pray for my poor sis ter; pray also for Father Walser. Let us help carry his cross, and heavy though it be let us act with fortitude as becomes Christians"
 The scene of the murder was the point of interest Nor thousands of visitors at the Reichlin home to-day, when the body was in view. At o'clock 1t was taken into St. Joseph's church where vespers for the dead were sung by Fa- ther Reichlin and two assistants.
 The funeral services will be held to- morrow morning.
 Father Walser, who is confined in the county jail at Elyria, has seen no one since yesterday. He is treated as any other prisoner except that he has the freedom of the corridor. His prelimin- ary hearing will be held probably on Tuesday. There is no excitement at Elyria and no sign of any unlawful &C., ton.
 Support of the belief that a burglar committed the crime was given impetus to-day by the statements of several neighbors who had seen a stranger hanging around the Reichlin home for several hours on the night of the crime.

EMPEROR VISITS THE POPE
CONFERENCE OF FORTY MINUTES
 WITH THE P0NTIPE.
Returns to the Prussian Embassy In stead Of Going Immediately to Quiri- naI-AIso Receives Cardinal RampoIIa or Neutral Ground-KaIser Enthusl. astiealIy Acclaimed by Pouulacs.


 Rome, May S.-Emperor B. William was received by the pope to-day. He had a conference with the pontiff of forty minutes duration.
 The day was bright and as the em- peror and his suite traversed the streets of Rome he was enthusiastically ac- claimed. At the vatican the emperor was received with military honors by the Palatine Guards and a platoon of gendarmes and he was welcomed by the high dignitaries of the pontifieal court.
 Upon his three previous visits to the vatican Emperor William returned di- rect to the quirinal. This was not liked by the vatican, as it was thought he should first return to neutral ground. King Edward followed this course. To- day Emperor William returned from the vatican to the Prussian legation &C., credited to the Holy See, where he changed carriages, his cuirassiers re- maining at the legation.
 There was another new departure during this visit of the emperor. Pre- viously Cardinal Rampolla had return ed the imperial visit to the vatican at the Prussian legation and had found only the Prussian minister. To-day, however, Emperor William waited at the legation, received the cardinal most cordially and had long conference with him.
 Emperor William presented to the pope large photograph of the Metz cathedral.
