I ‘Will To-Day Take the Oath of Fidelity to the New King. OME, July 31.—All the military and naval forces throughout the country will to-day (Tuesday) take the oath of fidelity to the new King.

Last evening the stu- dents paraded the streets, cheering for the House of Savoy. No disturbance of . public order has been reported at any point. A proclamation from the Queen Regent has arrived announcing the ascension of the new King and stating that Parliament will be convoked after the funeral. Several warships have started to meet King Victor. It is reported that Em- peror Willlam will attend the funeral The socialists and anarchists have Issued a %rmal condemnation of the erime. The police have made several arrests of suspected persons, on the theory that a conspiracy exists. The socialist organ Avanta accuses the Government of being the indirect assassin of the King because of a mistaken policy of dealing with the socialists. 1In consequence of this tirade the police seized the Avanta. The Pope's grief was unmistakable. Assurances have been conveyed to the Government that the Vatican will discourage any attempt to embarrass the Min jstry. This is the outcome of a rumor that a dangerous coalition exists between the extreme Papal party and the Republicans for the overthrow of the mogarchy.
