While not making any excuses, I will say Rowell was trained down five pounds lighter than he was in any other match he ever entered. Yesterday he told me to put $260 on him for him- self and expressed himself as confi- dent of winning. Why on the first day, when he did 150 miles in 22 hours, he would have gone farther had I not stopped him.” ‘“What truth is there in the report that Rowell is now in a precarious conditionf” ““Well,” said Duryea, “I left Row- ell and Asplen at 11:30 o'clock and they were then going to my stables intending to take a drive.” William B.

THE ASSASSIN'S STATEMENT.

The examination into the antece- dents of the assassin is now going on, but its results have not been made ublic. The impression increases, Lowever, that McLean is something more than an insane vagrani and that the investigation will show that some- hing like a half-digested plan for the sassination of the queen had really ween formed.

He admitted that in his esti- mation the queen had done nething herself to oppress her subjects, but insisted that she was at the head of the aristocratic system that dore down upon the people with an unsupporta- ble weight’and tyranny, and that his shot was directed towards her, not for the purpose of harming her, but of warning the aaistocracy that the peo- Ele of wnom he was one, and whom e volunteered to represent, were im- pati:nt and in a dangerous temper, OFFICIAL NOTIFICATIOF.
