Aug. 3.-A special to tho Tribune from London say.: There are fresh rumors of an advance uimn Pekln. but these are probably pre mature. The outposts have been ex tended as reinforcements have been re ceived at Tlen.TsIn, and there may have been reconnolwances, but It Is not yet clear that the allied army is i,re pared to undertake the responsibility of a march upon the capital, or that it has the equipment required for a rap Id and successful movement. It ia doubtful !f a column more than 20,000 strong can be spared for this expedi tion, after adequate provision has been made for the defense of Tien Teln and Taku, and this would not be sufficient to guarante the rescue of the lega'lons. On thia account, military men are dis posed to believe that' the column will be held hack until it Is fully equipped for the work.

He will be pro vided with an appointment In the civil administration. NEW YORK.Aug. 3. Governor Voor- heta.'of New Jersey, announced today that steps had bfen taken to investl- gat? the alleged rurno.a that the plot to kill King Humbert waa hatched In New Jersey. NEW YORK.Aug. 3.-Several Italians in Peterson claim that Anton Lanner, who waa arrested at Ivrea aa being an accomplice of IJressI, waa the man who bought a ticket for Italy from Paaquale Brescldoon, July 1, under the name of Panchl. "We caled him Geossln," said one man, "and that was the name Bressl knew him by, but It was only a nick name. Ilia real name waa Lanner and he was known to be a friend of Bressl. An Inspection of the books of the Weldman Dyeing Co. showed that a Lanner had been employed there at one time. He had been discharged, how ever, two year ago. NEW YORK, Aug. 3. Detectives have found the room In which It is claimed that the plot to kill King Hum bert waa formed. It la on the second floor of a West Hoboken. N. J., resort for anarchists, and Is In the heart of the Italian settlement. The place has not been known aa a meeting place for anarchist. There have been no public meetings held there, and the room where the men met waa kept for the most secret conference purposes. These detectives say they learned last night from socialists who attended a meeting at the place that less than four months ago two Italians, a man and woman, arrived In Hobiken. and an important conference was held In this room. At the conference there were anarchists from New York. Brooklyn, the Italian colony In Philadelphia and Paterson and West Hoboken. This socialist never saw Bressi and never saw Quln tevallo, but the description of the men tallies with that of two of the men at the conference. Mrs. Bressl, the destitute wife of the assassin, and her little daughter are In this city from their home In West Hoboken. for the purpose of seeing the Italian consul-general. Mrs. Bressi said she wanted to write a letter to her hus band, but the consul-general told her It would not be delivered. The woman then asked If it would be possible for her to get any valuables her husband had in his possession when he was ar rested. He had a diamond of consid erable value, she said. The consul-general promised to do what he could for the woman. When she returned to West Hoboken she found a man rep resenting himself as a United States secret service agent awaiting her. He questioned her at great length, but she was unable to give him any more In formation than aiready had been made public. Mrs. Bressl, who Ui in delicate health U'Qa ark tArfm Kir V of her trip t0 New York tRat she Jj take to her bed soon after her return. and last night her condition was con- sldered serious. It is learned that the assassin, Eressl, was a member of what ia known aa the "International Group" of anarchists. The police have also learned that prior to Bre8sl's leaving this country he was tendered a banquet by a group of an archist In this city. The celebration took place In an anarchist resort In Beecher street. Ten persons were pres ent. Besides Br?ssl there were Salva tor Qulnto, a man named Sassl and a man named Lanner, or Lana, all of whom are und?r arrest In Italy, The other guests are not yet known to the police, but one of them was said to be a woman. This would seem to Indicate that there were at least eight persona concerned In the plot to kill the king. The feasting continued into the early morning hours, until It was almost time to reach the steamer on which they em barked on their murderous mission. Teresa Brugnoll, the woman arrested 'n Italy, 1 beloved to have been the tame who was present at the banquet. NEW YORK, Aug. 3. A dispatch to the Tribune from Paris gays: The young man who attempted to as sassinate the Shah of Persia this morn ing still maintains the reticence which ao far concealed his Identity and even his nationality. He appears to be aim- ply Intelligent, but uneducated, but tx.rs all outward signs of being lab orer acustomrd to work with the j,ick and shovel. The prevailing opinion la that h a'-ted a an ag'-nt, like I'.r. s, but of thia there la ro evidence, ex cept that hi face contracted and that he nhed tears when the policeman said to him' "Now that your friends have made u3 of you aa their tool, they will abandon you altogether." Popular Indignation against the would-be assanoln la nowhere more marked th-tn among the working-classes here. The leaders of the socialists and of the proletariat, such aa Jean Jaures, Vivian! Gereault and others, denounce the criminal attempt In the strongest possible language, and even Henry Rochfjrt attacka the crimln il with hi heaviest Hedge-hammer ad Jectlvea. The congratulations received tonight by the Shah amounted almost to an ovation. The presence of sangfroid thown by the Shah and hla general ad viser instantly ceased at the disarming of the a.sasln, and In an off-hand way the Shah remarked to a police agent: "Be sure and have a good photograph of him ready for me when I come back from Versailles,' adding greatly to hi popularity here.
