WILL WRIGHT REFUSE
RIDE TO The QUEEN?

LIE Mans, Oct. IL. Italy does
not want Dowager Queen Mar
gherita to run the risk of an aero
plane flight with Wilbur Wright,
American aviator. Wright is re-
ceiving many letters urging him to
refuse the queens request.
The queen was SO enthusiastic in
watching Wright's flight that she
emphasized her congratulations by
asking that she might accompany
him on an early fight. The queen
was so insistent that Wright final
ly consented. He now realizes that
it would be unwise for the queen
to take the risk and will find an
excuse.

in this harbor have been playing at the
game of war for several nights, Stimulating

ditions which might prevail during actual

For several nights the game consisted in
giving the torpedo boats an opportunity to
hide themselves behind Goat Island or any
Of the numerous craft on the bay, and then
after a time trying to prevent them from
sneakinE within a radius of 900 yards of
any given one Of the battleships in the man
of-war rows without being picked up by
the searchlights of the battleship.
Last night beside the searchlght drill
the contest included the operation of the
big guns on the battleships. and the crews
of the battleship being kept in readiness to
turn their batteries on the members of the
mosquito fleet at any minute. The COM

DETAILS OF REGICIDE PLOT
Chief of Progressive Dissidents in
Portuguese House of Lords
Creates Sensation.

LISBON, July 2-Dr. Jose Maria de AL
poim, chief Of the progressive dissidents
smarting under the insinuation that he was
implicated in the assassination in Lisbon
last February Of King Carlos and Crown
Prince Buise, created a sensation in the
House of Lords today by revealing what
he declared to be the true history of this
regicides plot. He asserted that the assas-
snatons had been decided upon at meet
ing of the leaders OF the progressive and
regenerator party a few days before they
were carried out. a number Of republicans
also were present at this meeting.
DIR. Alpoim charged further that the re-
publicans proposed to obliterate the entire
royal family, with the exception of Maria
Pia. the mother of King Carlos, but that
the monarchists insisted that such a gen.
eral slaughter would be useless. Finally,
Manuel Silva Buissa and Alfredo Costa
were given $4,000 and $1,000 respectively,
to kill King Carlos and Premier Franco.
Arrangements were made by other men to
cover the flight Of the assassins, but when
Bussia and Costa fired their friends lost
their heads and opened fire also. These
shots resulted In the death Of Crown Prince
Luise.

He Had Been Actively Engaged in
Different Phases of Political and
Literary Work for Fifty
Five Years.

CINCINNATI, July 2.-Murat Halsted,
one Of the leaders in American journalism
for over half a century and widely known
as a vigorous editorial and magazine writer,
died at his home in this city this after
noon, in his 18th year At his bedside were
his wife. his son Robert and one daughter.
Mrs. Arthur Stem. Mr.. Hasted had been
failing in health for three months and yes
terday suffered from cerebral hemmorhages.
His physicians this morning told the family
that death was a question of hours and
those Of the family at a distance were at
once notified
Mr.. and Mrs. Halsted celebrated their
golden wedding anniversary a little more
than a year ago, at which time Mr.. Hal
steds health seemed frail and as time
passed he grew weaker, so that the news
Of his death was not wholly unexpected
The suden death of his soB Marshall a
few months ago was a severe shock to him
and is believed to have had an adverse ef-
feet on his health, being the first break
in the family. Albert Halsted, another son,
is American consulate at Birmingham. Eng
land, and other members of the family are
scattered throughout the country.
Mr.. Halsted was one of the great edi-
tors of the last half of the nineteenth
century and one of the strongest tributes
to his incisiveness as a writer was in 1882
when his nomination by President Har-
rison to be American minister to Germany
was rejected by the United States senate
because of articles he had published charg-
ing corruption to some members of that
body. He was a native of Butler county
Ohio, and after a short service on a liter
airy weekly he in 1858 became connected
with the Cincinnati Commercial in which
he secured a small interest a year later
becoming chief owner in 1865. Nearly
twenty years later his paper was con-
solidated with the Gazette and he was
editor-in-chef of the combined newspaper
until years afterward, when another con-
solidation was affected new owners Sc
curing control For a time he was editor
of the Brooklyn Standard Union and for
the last ten years he has figured largely
as a magazine and special newspaper
| writer, besides issuing a number of books
on current matters of historical interest.
During the war Mr.. Halsted personally re-
ported many battles, being rated as a war
correspondent of the first class, and later
| in the Franco-German war anad in the
| Spanish American war he added to his
| reputation in that line.
For fifty years he attended and reported
| all republican nominating conventions and
in 1850 he was the only newspaper man
who reported all the varied political con-
ventions of that year.

KILLING OVER SLIGHT WORD
Evidence shows Threat to Slap In
Mouth Provoked Fight that
Led to Death.

Owing TO the severe illness of Coroner
Davis the inquest over the death of Charles
George the negro who died Sunday night
as the result of being shot twice by Robert
Fischer, in Ferer's saloon Saturday night
was conducted by Sheriff Bradley. All OF
the witnesses not being present the in
quest was continued until 10 o'clock Friday
morning. The examination Of the witnesses
was conducted by County Attorney English
and from the testimony it was evident that
Fischer shot George without any other
provocation than a threat made by the
latter that he would slap Fischer in the
mouth.
Probably the most disiuterested spectator
at the inquest was Fischer, himself, who
sat unconcerned throughout the proceed
ings without a change of expression, with
his head and arms swathed IN bandages,
which covered the wounds inflicted by
George, after he had been shot
