Structure of Society Threatened by
the Depth of Villainy Beneath
Its Calm Surface.
LONDON, July SL Moving "an address
to the Queen, "With reference to the as
sassination of Kins: Humbert of Italy,
the Premier, Lord Salisbury, said in the
House of Lords today that anarchists
are not confined to any one political opinion-
He said the last half century had
seen the assassination of three Presidents
of republics and two monarchs. It was
"a fearful thing," Lord Salisbury said,
"ta contemplate this depth of human vil
lainy beneath the smiling surface of so
ciety, threatening' the destines '&. so
ciety in the early future."
The Premier paid a glowing tribute to
the character of King Humbert, who ho
said had unflaggingly worked for the
benefit of his country and people. The
assassination of such a man could not
be considered revenge. It was noth'ng
but that morbid thirst for notoriety,
which is the plague and curse of modern
civilization which had time and again led
men to the commission of foulest crimes
and which threatened the very existence
of society if it could not be arrested.
He did not propose to speak of remedies
for such a state of things, but he had
never hesitated to express his own views
In that respect.
The Earl of Klmbcrley. Liberal, sec
onded the motion for the adoption of the
address, which was adopted both in the
House of Lords and In the Common.
In the House of Commons, A. J. Bal
four, First Lord of the Treasury and
government leader, spoke in a similar
strain to the speech of Lord Sallsburj't
and Sir Henry Campbell-Bannennan, the
'Liberal leader In the House of Commons,
seconded the amotion.
A PLOT EXISTED.
Italian Police Learn That the Killing
Wan Planned In Paris.
ROME, July 31. The Tribuna says the
assassination of King Humbert is believed
to be the result of a plot. A nonmllltant
anarchist recently declared, so the Tri
buna asserts, that a meeting had been
held lit Paris at which lots were drawn
and several persons were selected to kill
the King.
Besides Bressl five persons have been
taken into custody at Monza.
In the absence of the new King, the
Ministry has issued in his name a mani
festo to the nation, as follows:
''King Victor Emanuel IIL in ascend
ing the throne, has to perform the pain
ful duty of announcing to the country
the awful calamity which has violently
cut short the valuable life of King
Humbert.
"The nation, wounded in. Its sincere af
fection for the august dead, and in a
sincere feeling of devotion and adhesion
to the dynasty, while execrating the cruel
crime will be plunged Into profound grief
for the venerated memory of a good,
brave and magnamlnous King, the pride
of his people, and the worthy perpetuator
of the traditions of tlfe House of Savoy,
by rallying with unshakable loyalty
around his august successor. Italians
will prove by their deeds that their insti
tutions do not die."
The King is expected to arrive at Reggl
dl Calllbria tomorrow. He received the
first news of the assassination of his
father by semaphore.
The police are pushing inquiries In all
directions, but information with regard to
the assassin Bressl is not yet very defi
nite. It appears that wheh he was search
ing for lodgings on Friday at Monza he
was accompanied by a young man, whom
the police are now seeking. The pistol
the assassin used was a new superior
weapon marked ""Massachusetts."
The police of Milan searched the house
of a man named Ranella, and It is re
ported, found Important papers showing
that Bressl had relations with persons
In the United States and that communi
cations had passed between nlm .and them
In connection with the crime, Bressl and
another man frequented the cafes In
Milan, where they were overheard dis
cussing a big scheme that would astonish
the world. Everything goes to show that
the crime was long premeditated and the
police are now being charged with want
of foresight.
It appears that the cordons formed
upon the arrival of the King at the fete
were withdrawn prior to his departure.
As the King was leaving a sort of scuffle
occurred, probably prearranged, to dis
tract the attention of the carbineers. The
King was so pleased with his welcome at
Monza and felt ?o safe that he turned
to his aide and said: 'Td like to return
afoot," but he was dissuaded.
All the Italian troops took the oath of
allegiance to the new King today amid
the applause of the people. Perfect tran
quillity reigns throughout the country.
A deputation of Senators and Deputies
had arranged to meet King Victor Em
manuel, hut as In conformity with court
etiquette the Journey of His Majesty to
Monza was strictly private, the Idea was.
abandoned. For a similar reason the Min
isters decided not to go to Naples.
Late this evening it is reported that the
body of King Humbert sJl be brought
hre on Sunday Queen ivrgherita de
cided to accompany the ropirns. Em
peror "William has notified the government
of his Intention to attend the funeral.
A dispatch of condolence has been re
ceived from Li Hung Chang.
Queen Margherita has Invited -Verdi to
compose a requiem mass. If he declines,
Mascagnl will be commissioned.
As the facts develop it is seen that
warnings of the crime had been given,
and much indignation is felt at the failure
of the people to take greater precautions.
A magistrate examined Bressl, who was
sullen fend defiant, replying: "I did not
kill Humbert; I killed the King." He ad
mitted ho was in Monza Park the previ
ous day with a lady, and angrily pro
tested that what he had done was not a
crime, but an act of Justice.
Among the persons arrested at Prato is
a woman named Teresa Brugnoll. said
to have been the mistress of the assassin.
ASSASSINATION APPROVED.
Paterson Anarchists Celebrate
the
Klllncr of King: Humbert.
NEW YORK. July SI. There was a
meeting of anarchists In Paterson, N. J.,
last night, at which the killing of King
Humbert was indorsed. A reporter who
sought admittance was welcomed, as It
was said that these anarchists wanted
the world to know their sentiments. The
principal speaker at tho meeting was E
nesta CrevoHa, 21 years of age. In the
courso of an Impassioned address, she
said:
"We are members of the group of an
archists to which Bressl belonged. He is
a martyr, He has done what we would
have him do. Ask me if we approve tho
killing of Humbert? I will answer the
question Before you ask it. Of courso
we do. It was not our instruction to
Bressl to kill, but he has done what ho
knew to be right, and we will sustain
him and give him our sympathy. Was
Humbert ever kind to us? No. Was he
good to the poor? No. He was a mon
arch, and all monarchs, according to our
vows, must die. Let Nicholas of Russia
tremble, and let the new King of Italy
prepare for death. They are both inhu
man. They are inhuman because
they are monarchs. They would
not consent to take the places on
tho thrones were they not inhuman. It
Is a repubnc that we want, and it is a
xepubMc that the anarchists in every
country will have."
Then came an Implied threat ugalnst
high officials in this country, when the
young woman shouted:
"They have run us out of Italy, Trhere
to have stayed would have been to have
starved. "We have come here. Things are
no better here. We are treated like dogs
In the mills. We are not considered hu
man by Americans We do not starve,
but there is a worse death than starva
tion. It Is, neglect. Who is responsible
for this Government? We will try to bet
ter It by fair means, and, if we cannot
succeed, then we will resort to other
methods."

Assassin's Wife Did Xot Know He
"Was an Anarchist.
NEW TORK, July 3L Gradually a num
ber of facts concerning Gaetano Bressl,
who assassinated Humbert, of Italy, are
being brought to light. He was a native
of Tuscany, Italy, and came to the United
States five years ago. He was not a
naturalized American citizen, though his
wife Is of American birth. BresBl left
Paterson, N. J., on May 22, sailing for
Havre by the French line steamer La
Gascogne. He told his wife that he was
going to visit his birthplace In Italy to
look after a little property that belonged
to him. But he sailed under an as
sumed name Branch! Gressari.
His wife says she received a letter from
him since he arrived in Milan, but he said
nothing about killing the King. She re
fused to believe that her husband was the
assassin, even when the newspaper re
ports were shown to her. It was only
when the assassin In Milan confessed his
name and glorified in hl3 crime that his
wife believed.
Mrs. Bressl lives In Hoboken. When
shown copies of the papers containing the
dispatch describing her husband and giv
ing the date of his birth and other facts,
she exclaimed:
"My God! can It be he? I cannot be
lieve it. It is hardly two months since
he left me, and it was only three days
ago that I got a letter from him, telling
me how happy he was and how soon he
expected to be home. I am an Ameri
can woman. My maiden name was So,
phie Neil. I met Bressl about three years
ago in a weaving factory here in West
Hoboken. We worked together in the
same factory. I knew he was a socialist
and all that, and was opposed to Kings
and Queens and capitalists, but my hus
band would never kill anybody Intention
ally. He was not strong. He was never
violent. He was afraid of a mouse. He
would not have had the courage to com
mit such an awful act. And yet the
description matches him so correctly. I
even see how they got the name of An
gelo Bressl; that is his brother. He is a
Captain in the Italian Army. Some called
him that name here.
"Poor Gaetano! I'm afraid the news
will kill me. My husband was of an un
usually quiet disposition. He said very
little to others, even, keeping his busi
ness affairs from me; but of late I had
noticed that he was particularly quiet, and
that caused me to think he had some
thing on his mind. If he was connected
with any band xr organized body of so
cialists or anarchists, I knew nothing of
It. He never mentioned any such organi
zation to me. I have heard him tell of this
young man Sparendio, who murdered the
foreman of Wldeman's dye works in Pat
erson and then killed himself, a few days
ago, but I do not believe that my hus
band wot on intimate terms with him.
He may have known him slightly, but as
my husband never brought hhn to the
house, I do not think they were Inti
mate." Bressl'e most intimate friend in West
Hoboken Is rtafael Magnoll, a fellow-countryman,
living at 718 Cortland street.
When asked to give up a photograph of
the assassin, he refused, saying:
"It would be as much as my life Is
worth to part with that photograph. This
part of West Hoboken is a perfect nest
of anarchists. Were It known that I had
given you Information regarding this,
I would have a knife in my back before I
waff W hours older."
Brenai's Wife Watched.
NEW TORK, July .31. A representative
of the Italian Consulate went to Hoboken
today to eee the woman who says she Is
the wife of Bressl, the assassin of King
Humbert. The object of the visit was to
obtain Information concerning the man
for the Italian authorities in prosecuting
the murderer. Mrs. Bressl, whose maiden
name was Jennie O'Nell, lived In Chicago
before coming to Hoboken, where she
met Bressl.
Mrs. Bressi was closely questioned by
the representative of the Italian Con
sulate, and she told him the same story
regarding her husband that he had al
ready told to the reporters. The police
searched the house, but found no evi
dence to show that either the woman or
her husband was connected with a plot
for the assassination of King Humbert,
It is stated that Mrs. Bressl will be
kept under surveillance. The Consul-Gen-eral
in this city is to communicate with
the Hoboken police In case the woman is
-needed by the Italian authorities as a
witness.
HAD POLITICAL SIGNIFICANCE.
Assassination of Humbert Was the
Result of a. Plot.
NEW YORK, July 3L It can be stated
that the French police are in possession
of important facts concerning the ante
cedents and associates of Bressl, the
murderer of King Humbert, and that they
are in communication with the Italian
police on the subject, says a cable to
the Times from Paris. While Italian
anarchist leaders who have found refuge
In Paris declare publicly that there Is no
plot behind the assassination, the In
formation in the hands of the police
shows the reverse to be true.
One of the chiefs of the political po
lice in an Interview declared that after
the Milan troubles, Italian refugees
poured Into France and that many who
suffered terms of hard labor then are
now coming out of prison and finding
their way abroad. These groups of po
litical refugees who had grievances
against Humbert are veritable hotbeds of
intrigue against the Italian monarchy.
Bressl passed some time in Paris and has
certainly been brought in contact with
the revolutionary Italian party there and
went from Paris to several European cap
itals.
The object of Bressl's stay In America
is declared to have been to collect funds
for the anarchist cause among Italian
workmen In the United States, who have
more money than their compatriots at
home. i
In an interview Amllicar'Caprlana, the
great Italian revolutionary leader, said he
was glad -to hear of the King's death and
considered the killing an admirable act.
This statement from such a source la of
the greatest importance, as shewing that
the act "had political significance.
OPPOSE THE MONARCHY.
Italians In America Favor a Republic
for Their Country.
NEW YORK, July 3L Nlcolal Glglootti,
R. D. Rosalia and P. Pascale are known
to the Italians of the United States as
the "triumvirate." They are really the
executive committee of the "Italian Re
publican Confederation" of this country.
Glglootti Is secretary. He made the fol
lowing statement concerning the murder
of Humbert:
"In the name of the Italian Republican
Confederation of the United States I af
firm most emphatically that there has
been no plot in this country to kill King
Humbert. We deplore the killing, but we
question very much the goodness of King
Humbert, whose record as regards labor
has been a bad one. Many Italian labor
ers of liberty were killed by his soldiers
In the bread riots not long ago with
but the slightest provocation. It may be
that the man who has killed him vindi
cated the blood of the unfortunates who
lost their lives on that occasion. The
Italians in this city do not believe that
the murder was concocted or was the
result of a plot. I do not know what
will be the situation in Italy, but one
thing is sure, that soon the monarchV will
be a thing of they past."
The Italian Federation is about 105,003
strong in the United States.
EUROPE WAS FOREWARNED.
It Was Known That Humbert's Life
Had Been. Threatened.
LONDON, July 31. The entire Euro
pean press utters a cry of indignation
and horror at the Monza crime, and ex
presses sympathy for Italy and Queen
Margherita. The difficulty of dealing
with such insensate anarchist outrages
is emphasized In many quarters. The
Dally Chronicle observes:
"The dagger that killed Carnot was no
protest against 'monarchical Institutions,'
and Bressl, who had been in America,
might have had as coherent a motive for
taking President McKInley's life as he
had for shooting Humbert."
Curiously enough. It seems that there
bad been forewarnings of the tragedy.
The Berliner Tageblatt reminds its read
ers of its news from Gratz on June 13,
when an Italian received a letter from
his son saying that the lot had fallen
on the latter to assassinate the King
of Italy, and adding that four other
Princes were doomed.
A.t Vienna It Is asserted that Bressl
stayed at Budapest two years ago, at
Which time he had plenty of money and
attracted the attention of the police, who
suspected him of being an anarchist or of
having anarchist proclivities. Suddenly
on the news of the assassination of Em
press Elizabeth of Austria he disappeared.
Many arrests of Italian suspects have
occurred recently at Ischl, the Summer
residence of the Austrian Emperor.
OVERSHADOWS CHUCESE TROUBLE.
Germany In Mourning for Humbert
and the Dnke of Saxe-Cobursr.
BERLIN. July 3L The Chinese situa
tion has rather fallen Into the back
ground in consequence of the death of
King Humbert and the Duke of Saxc
Coburg and Gotha, and tho papers are
filled With matter regarding both. The
absence of Emperor William retards the
making of prompt arrangements for par
ticipation In the funerals.
- A representative of the Lokal Anzelger
interviewed Count von isuiow, Minister
of Foreign Affairs, on board the imperial
yacht Hohonzollern today arid was as
sured by tho Minister that the Kaiser
was deeply touched by King Humbert's
death, but did not anticipate any change
in Italian-German relations. Emperor
William's dispatch of condolence was an
swered in tho most cordial terms by
Queen Margherita, and the Hohenzollern
flew an Italian flag at half-mast. The
Berlin court has been ordered to go Into
mourning for three weeks. A delegation
of the Bockenhelm House Senators, of
which King Humbert was chief, will go
to Rome, and tho entire regiment will
wear crepe.
Tho press still comments on the situa
tion, and the Germanla (ultramontane)
expresses the hopeithat the Italian dy
nasty will now make peace with the
papacy, "Inasmuch as anarchism Is be
ing fought by religion."
The police have ascertained that King
Humbert's assassin stayed for several
years at Mannheim as a padrone for an
Italian plaster bust man.
Police Have a Picture of Bressl.
PARIS, July 31. A dispatch from Madrid
to the Temps says:
"The police have a picture of Bressl,
the assassin of King Humbert, taken at
Barcelona last Spring, during the visit
there of the Spanish Minister of the In
terior, Senor Dato, whom he Is said to
have wished to assassinate, but Bressi
was dissuaded from the purpose by the
Catallne anarchists, whose efforts at that
time were directed towards securing par
dons for their coreligionists.'
The Temps dispatch adds that the police
of St. Sebastian expelled on Sunday an
Italian who had arrived from France
without papers or means of support.
Klnar Humbert's Death Recorded.
MONZA, July 31. The formal act of re

MINISTERS HELD AS HOSTAGES
London Satisfied That Chinese Ofil
clnls Did Not Try to Gain Time.
NEW YORK, July 31. The effect of all
the reassuring dispatches from China dur
ing the past 24 hours, avers the London
correspondent of the Tribune, has been to
Impress the members of Parliament with
the fact that the survivors were virtually
held as hostages. It was no longer as
serted that the Chinese officials were ly
ing In order to gain time for Insidious
attempts to divide the powers and for
the removal of the seat of government
from Pekln to Segat, a mountain strong
hold far more Inaccessible than Mr. Kru
ger's Lydenburg, In the Transvaal.
The theory of a small group of optim
ists had suddenly been taken up by the
majority of the best-informed men In
Parliament, and In the clubs, namely, that
the Legations, after a siege of several
weeks, during which many had been
killed and wounded, had passed under the
protection of the Imperial Government,
which was holding the survivors at its
mercy and endeavoring to Induce the pow
ers to suspend the advance of the army
from Tien Tsln and to negotiate a set
tlement on the basis of heavy financial
Indemnities.
There are many proofs that an author
ity of some kind with a powerful will be
hind it has been substituted for anarchy.
Viceroys and Generals are going up
toward the capital with strong bodies of
Chinese soldiers, the Governor of Klang
Su is marching north, Lu Chuan Lin is
approaching Pekln, and other Generals
are moving. The military forces which
were at Tien Tsln have retreated upon
the capital, and there Is a unity of direc
tion in the Chinese councils and a dis
tinct and determined effort from Shang
hai to Che Foo to hold back the advance
of the allies under a menace of the death
of the survivors of the Legations. If
nothing else be plain In the Chinese maze,
there are cumulative proofs that a single
will Is paramount at Pekin, and that a
definite and positive policy has been
adopted In dealing with the powers.
One fact of supreme importance is the
helplessness of the Legations If the Chi
nese Government chooses to renew the at.
tack while the allied forces are marching
toward Pekln. In that sense the Envoys
are hostages, and the Empress and the
Mandarins are making desperate effort to
keep the powers out of the capital.
Cloudburst in Arizona.
PHOENIX, Ariz., July 31. A cloudburst
has flooded canyons and valleys and

small rivers and creeks tributary to the
Verde River. So far as known but two

partner, believed to be one Williams,
prospectors from Iowa, were drowned
while engaged In an effort to save a horse

GEORGE DIXON WHIPPED
TOMMY SUIiMVAK'a BODY BLOWS
TOO MUCH FOR THE DARKY.
ORourlcc Saved the ex-Champion
From a Knockout by Refusing? to
Let the Fight Proceed.
NEW YORK, July 8L Tho one-time
Invincible George Dixon succumbed to
Tommy Sullivan, of Brooklyn, at Coney
Island tonight in their battle at 122
pounds. The end came as the men shaped
for the seventh round, when Tom
O'Rourke, Dixon's chief second, admitted
defeat of his man, and, claiming that
his left arm was disabled, refused to per
mit him to continue. This left no alter
native for the referee but to declare Sul
livan the victor. Dixon was getting all
the worst of the" body punching each was
administering, and Just before the close
of the sixth -round was looking appeal
lngly toward his corner. It looked simply
a case of youth, being served. As a mat
ter of fact, Dixon looked particularly
big about the body. Sullivan was wiltfng
to mix it up on the slightest provocation,
and it was the consensus of opinion that
Dixon was beaten, and well beaten. It
was a popular victory, and was greeted
with cheers.
A. great volley of cheers greeted "Old
Chocolate" when ho entered the ring.
Sullivan's adherents made themselves
heard by a blast of tin horns, which they
sounded upon the slightest occasion. Tho
betting was 2 to 1 on Dixon, and con
siderable money changed hands.
The opening round was in Dixon's
favor. There was fierce in-fighting in the
second round, and Dixon winced under
the heavy body punches. Sullivan came
out of the round with a bleeding ear.
The third and fourth rounds were fast,
and at the end of the fourth Sullivan
was a trifle blown. In the fifth round
Dixon had Sullivan on the ropes and ad
ministered severe punishment, but Sulli
van came through his trouble and had all
the better of tho latter half of the round,
pounding Dixon's wind in a manner that
the latter did not relish, and being the
stronger at tho bell. Dixon looked a
trifle weary when they shaped for the
sixth round. ThiB round consisted en
tirely of In-flghtlng. The men were
locked throughout Sullivan had al the
better of the argument, and weakened
his man completely by the body punches.
Tho preliminary, scheduled to go 12
rounds, was at 122 pounds between Sam

CORBETT AND M'COY MATCHED.
They Will Flefht 2B Hounds in New
York on August 30.
NEW YORK, July 3L-T. J. Corbett and
Kid McCoy were matched this afternoon
to fight before the Twentieth Century
Club on the night of August 30. Ine
men will go 25 rounds under Marquis of
Queensbury rules. It was expected that
trouble would occur when they met at
1390 Broadway, but aside from some
rather sarcastic remarks passed by each,
the meeting was peaceful. The men had
agreed to meet to sign articles at 1:30..
Corbett was on time, but McCoy failed
to appear until almost 2 o'clock. As
soon as McCoy entered he walked to tho
opposite side of the room from where
Corbett was sitting. For more than five
minutes neither man said a word to the
other. McCoy looked extremely nervous,
and acted like an amateur making his
first match. After about 10 minutes he
regained his composure, and the men set
tled down to business. Corbett drew
from his pocket the telegram received
from McCoy and, holding It before the
latter, said: "Now, there ought not to
bo any trouble In signing articles; you
say here that yoi will fight me at my
own terms. I am going to take your
word for It but will make no unreason
able demands."
McCoy said: "Well, what are your
terms?" f
Corbett answered: "I will fight you be
fore the Twentieth Century Club; the
winner to take 70 per cent and the
loser 30."
McCoy said he was satisfied with these
terms. Charlie White was named by
McCoy as referee and was satisfactory
to Corbett. The only wrangle that oc
curred was over bandages. Corbett at
first Insisted that no bandages be al
lowed. McCoy refused to consider that.
After several caustic remarks, the men
finally agreed that McCoy would furnish
material for bandages and Corbett would
decide how much of tho( roll was to bh
worn by each man. During this argu
ment, Corbett said to McCoy: ''I know
nothing of bandages; you are an expert
on that sort of thing. My specialty Is
boxing."
McCoy answered: 'You havo not
shown much cleverness at that, either, I
imagine."
John Consldlno and George W. Grant,
tho former for Corbett and the latter for
McCoy, drew up articles of agreement,
and they were signed by both men.
Corbett wyi start In training in a few
days at Owen Zelgler's place, at Bath
Beach. Ho has secured Charlie Goff as
his sparring partner, and will also en
gage some wrestler to help get him In
condition. McCoy will go to Saratoga
Lake to put himself In shape. He has
not decided who will be his trainer.

CAUSED BY CANCER.
Germans Object to a German State
Belnff Held As an English
Heirloom.
COBURG, July SL The Duke of Saxe
Coburg, who died at 10 o'clock last even
ing at Rosenau Castle, by his sudden
death escaped a painful, lingering end.
Recently, at a consultation of specialists
in Vienna, it was discovered that there
was a cancerous growth at the root of
his tongue. His Royal Highness was un
aware of the real state of his health,
and hoped he would recover until Friday
last when his condition became such as
to preclude hope. During the minority
of his heir, the Duke of Albany, the
government of tlje Duchy will be con
ducted by the Prince of Hohenlohe-Lan-gendenberg,
the guardian of the young
Duke.
Will Be Buried In England.
LONDON, July 3L The news of the
death of the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-
Gotha, second son of Queen Victoria, has
created a sensation In London, as It was
totally unexpected. The Queen was deep
ly affected and the Prince of Wales can
celled the arrangements for attending
Goodwood today, where his horse. Luck
now, was the favorite in the race for the
stewards cup.
At Windsor there were many Blgns of
mourning, the bells in the Curfew tower of
St George's Chapel being tolled. It Is
stated that the body of the late Duke
will be embalmed and brought to Eng
land for interment and that it will lis
in state at Windsor.
The Duke's successor, the Duke of Al
bany, arrived in London this morning.
The Lord Mayor of London sent a message
of condolence to the Queen' on behalf of
the citizens of London, expressing the
hope that the sympathy of the nation
would prove a solace and comfort in her
bereavement Numerous pubuo and semi
public functions havo been abandoned end
the court and society will immediately be
ordered into mourning.
The funeral of the lata Duke will be
held at Coburg on Friday, August S. The
Prince of Wales will represent we Queen.
Ho will bo accompanied to Coburg by
either his son. the Duke of1 York, or his
brother, the Duke of Connaught
The Gazette orders the court in mourn
ing for King Humbert from August 2 to
August 23, and for the Duke of Saxe
Coburg and Gotha from August 2 to Sep
tember 23.
Tho body of the lata Duke of Saxe
Coburg and Gotha will be conveyed to
morrow to the Maurice Church at Co
burg. where it will lie In state. The
new Duke, who on July 19 was appointed
a Lieutenant In the Prussian Army, and
who for some time has been receiving
a military education in Potsdam, is for
the moment the guest of King Oscar of
Sweden. He Is expected to arrive here
tomorrow. Ho will not attain his ma
jority until 1D05, and by the Coburg law,
passed In 1898, hereditary Prince, Ernest
von Hohenlohe Langtoberg, son-in-law of
the late Duke, becomes regent.
The German press again discusses the
undeslrablllty of allowing a German
sovereign state to become an English
heirloom, passing from hand to hand.
The National Zeltung concludes Its ar
ticle on tho subject by telling the young
Duke that It will depend on him to dissi
pate all objections mado inside and out
side of the duchy to tho succession go
ing to a Prince of foreign birth. It Is
rumored In political circles that the death
of Duke Alfred was due to intemperance,
it being town talk in Coburg that he
was habitually carried ta his bed at
night sodden with liquor.
