It had been arranged for National Pottery Works, going after- ward to Versailles, and it was just after he had left the sovereign’'s palace on his way to the Seine to go on board a yacht placed at his disposal for the trip that the attempt upon his life was made. Only five minutes before the pistol was presented at his breast he was the re- ciplent of a letter which warned him that his life was in danger. No serious thought, however, was given to the con- | tents, so numerous had been former warn- | Ings of the same character. As he was seated In the landau before leaving the j court of the palace his secretary brought him a letter dated Naples, but posted in | Paris last night, signed with a name bear- | ing an Italian termination. Tt sald: To-day you shall meet the same fate | as Humbert. In no wise disconcerted the Shah hand- €d the letter to the officer on guard and gave orders for the carriage to start. The gates of the palace were and as the monarch jerowd of curious onlookers broke into cries of “Vive le Shah.” Hardly had these exclamations died away when a man. dressed in the ordinary clothing of a Paris workman, darted forwaid from between twd automobiles where he was | | hidden and rushed toward the Imperial ‘cma‘rgmiafi 0\'5“hrowinz a_ bicycle police- an, who r ' er 1 man, | olled under the feet of the In an instant he was on the carri ago | step.

This lesitation saved the Persian monarch's lite, for before he could pull the trigger a strong hand grasped his wrist and wrenched it so that the weapon dropped harmlessly to the bottom of the landau. I'd like to have a photograph of that | 3 man,” nonchalantly exclaimed the Shah. | Then, addressing a few words in his na. tive tongue to his companions in the car- riage, he told the coachman to drive on.

DO 00+04040 4000404040 40+0+000+00Q RIGADIER GENERAL JAMES H. WILSON, one of the veteran com D manders of the war of the Rebel- lion, arrived on the delayed over- land train late last night, on his way to the scene of conflict in China.. General Wilson fought in the Spanish war, and was until a few days ago Governor of the provinces of Matanzas and Santa Clara, in Cuba. He applied for duty in China and President McKinley granted his re- quest. “1 belong to the get-there crowd,” said the general last night in his rooms in the Palace. I think I made record time from Cuba, having covered the distance in nine days. To-morrow I leave for China. No, 1 do not know anything about the situa- tion there, and the whole world is in the same fix. ' So far as my duties are con- cerned. 1 do not know what I will be called upon to do. I do not think I am to go on General Chaffee's staff, but will obey or- ders, whatever they are. “The country between Taku and Peking generally has either a flood or a drouth and it is not particularly casy to traverse, but the proposed army of 20,000 troops of the allied gowers can go through to the capital without being stopped by the Chi- | nese army. 1 do not take kindly to these stories to the effect that China has a large and well drilled army as a result of the war with Japan. “I have traveled extensively in China. and in fact wrote a book from my notes, but so far as telling what is going on there, is concerned, it is like guessing at What's beyond a fog bank. Li }suns Chang 1 have a persanal acquaintance with. but I am satisfied that even that old diplomat does not know where he stands, As to his sincerity in this crisis, he is just like all other ‘Chinese—the Caucasian cannot understand him."” General Wilson had no predictions to offer as to what would happen and could not foresee any _conditions that would cause the United States to take a slice of China in the event of its dismemberment in the future. He thought that Japan could quell the disturbance shortly If the other powers gave her freedom to act. The aged war horse is remarkably well preserved, and after his long hot trip ar- rived bright and not apparently fatigued and was ready to meet all callers.

NO PLOT WAS FORMED TO MURDER HUMBERT NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—Several hundred | anarchists held a meeting in Bartholdi Hall at Paterson, N. J., to-night for the purpose of discussing the situation in | Ttaly. There were many Frenchmen, a | number of Spaniards and a few Austrians | in the assemblage, which consisted for the | most part of Italians. Pasqualle Frank presided. At the open- ing he denounced the newspapers in gen- eral and claimed that they were mis- representing the anarchists. He said the papers made anarchists out of bad men and pictured them in revolting actions. He said this was untrue and that anar- chists were the same as other people. Resolutions were adopted as follows: ‘“We, here assembled, intend to state that Bressi’s deed was the result of the resent social state of affairs, and there- Fore we are trying to establish one where violence could not be possible. “We deplore as foolish the idea that there would have been or existed a plot in this city (Paterson), and protest inst those who attribute it to and are trying to make the Italian colony of Paterson responsible for Bressi's dee ——— MURDERER BRESSI MAKES | THREAT AGAINST CZAR ROME, Aug. 2—The regicide Bressi still maintains his excited demeanor and has to be dressed forcibly.

She fell into his arms weeping. The King knelt before the body of his father and re- peatedly kissed and embraced it. After- ward, for an hour, he, his mother and his wife, prayed in the death chamber. Sybsequently the King received the members of the Cabinet, the audience last- ing an hour and a quarter. All the Minis- ters, with the exception of the Ministers of War and Justice, who are In Rome, took the oath of allegiance.
