given way to a feeling akin to certainty
that the legatloner at Pekln' and the

the Chinese capital Just In the nick
of time, were not only alive on July 22,
but In all probability are gtlll alive
and likely to remain so until they are

attack by th Chinese on the legations
will not b? renewed.
The official here, while anxious that
tbe movement on Pekln should begin at

rumor mentioned by Oeneral Chaffee
that a forward march was to begin
today. There are two reasons for the
Incredulity, In the first place, Chaffee'g

lots were drawn and several peraong
were selected to kill the king.
The papers announce that King VIc
ter Emanuel HI will reach Brlndisl to
day nnd will go directly to Monxa.
LONDON, July 31. The entire Euro
pean press utters a cry of Indignation
and horror at the Monza crime, and ex-piess-s
gympathy for Italy and Queen
Marpherita. The difficulty of dealing
with such Insensate anarchistoutrage
Is efphaslied in many quarters. The
Dully Chronicle observes:
"The dagger that killed Carnot was
no protest against 'monarchlal Institu
tions.' and Bressl, who had been In
America, n-lglrrtiavwhad a coherent a
motive for taking President McKlnley's
life a he had for shooting Humbert."
Curlcusly enough. It seem that there
had boen forewarnings of the tragedy
The Berliner Tagvblatt reminda Itg
readers of Its news from Gratx on June
19. when an Italian received a letter
from his son faying that the lot had
fallen on the latter to assassinate the
klnK of Italy, adding that four other
princes were doomed.
At Vienna !t Is averted that Bressl
stayed at Budapest two years ago, at
which time he had plenty of money
and attracted the attention of the po
lice, who suspected him of being an an
arohlst or of having anarchistic procll
vities. Pudden'y on the news of the
assassination of Empress Elizabeth of
Austria, he dlsappear?d.
Many arrests of Italian suspects have
occurred recently at Ischl, the summer
residence of the Austrian emperor.
NEW YORK, July 31. Gradually a
number of facts concerning Ga.Hano
I rssl, who assassinated King Humbert
of Italy, are being brought to light.
He was
a native of Tuscany, Italy,
and came to the United States
five years agx He was not a natura

Bressl !eft Paterson, N. J., on May
22. snllln for Havre by the French
line st?am?r La Gascogne. He told his
wife that he was going to visit hi
birthplace In Italy to look after a little
property that belonged to him. But he
sailed unfl?r an assumed name-Branch!
Gressarl, His wife says she received a
letter from him sines he arrived In Ml
Ian. hut he said nothing about killing
tne Kinar. sne rerusea to Deiteve that
her husband was the assassin, even
when the newspaper reports were
shown to her. It was only when the
assassin In Mlbin confessed his name
and glorified In his crime that his wife
believed. Mrs. Br.s.sl lives In Hoboken.
When shown copies of the papers
containing the dispatch describing her
husband nnd giving the date of his
birth and othr facts, she exclaimed:
"My God! Can It be he? I cannot
believe it. It Is hardly two months
since he left me, and it was only three
days agi that I got a letter from
him, telllnsr m? now happy he was and
hr.w snon he expected to be home. I
nn nn Amrbnn woman. Mv maiden
nam was Soohle Xell. I met Bressl
about three years rsto In West Hobo
ken. We worked together In the same
factory. I knew he was a soc'alK and
all that, and was opposed to kinjrs ard
nueons and capitalists, but my husband
would never kl'l anybody Intention,
ally. He was not strong. He was never
violent. Ho was afraid of a mouse.
He would not have had the courage to
commit such an awful act. And yet the
description matches him so correctly.
I even see how they got the name of
ArgeH Bressl. that I hlg brother. Re
Ij a captain In the Italian army.' Some
railed him by that name her. Poor
Oaetuno! I'm afraid the news will kill
me.
'My husband was of an unuua!ly
quiet dlplton. He said very little to
otli-r, even keeping hi buMlneg af
fair from me; but of law? I have
noticed that he was particularly quiet,
and that caus-d me to think that he
had something on hi mind. If he wag
connected with any band or organized
body of o Ulist or anarchist I know
nothing of It. Ha never mentioned any
such organization to me. I have heard
him tell of thl y.ung man Sparendlo
ho murdered the foreman of Wide
man' dye work In Paterson, and
then killed hlmsolf, a few day ago,
but I do not believe that my husband
wa on intimate trroi with him. He
may have kmwn him slightly, but a
my husband never brought him to the
house. I do not think they were Inti
mate." Uiessl's most intlnia'e friend In West
Hoboken l Rafael Magnoll, a fellow
countryman, living at 71S Cortland
treet When asked to give up a pho
tograph of the assaxln he refused, say
ing: "It would be a much a my life Is
worth to part with that photograph.
This part of Went Hoboken Is a per
fwt nest of anarchists. Were it known
that I had given you Information re
garding thl I would have a knife In
my bark before I was 24 hour older."
NEW YORK, July 21. There wa a
me?tin? of anarchists In Paterson, N.
J., last night, at which the killing of
King Humbert waa endorsed. A re
porter who sought admittance wa wel
comed, and It was said that these anar
chists wanted the world to know their
sentiment. The principal speaker of
the meeting was Ernesta Crevetla, 21
y-arg of age. In the coure of, an im
passioned addres she said:
"We are member of the group of
anarchists to which Bressl belonged.
He J a martyr. He has done what we
would have him do. Ask me If we ap
prove the killing of Humbert; I wilt an
swer the question before you ask It.
Of course we do. , It was not our in
struction to Bressl to kill, but he has
done what he knew to be right and we
will sustain him and give him our sym
pathy. Was Humbert ever kind to us?
No. Wa he good to the poor? No.
He was a monarch, and all monarch
according to our vowg must die.
"Let Nicholas of Russia tremble, and
let the new king of Italy prepare for
death. They are both Inhuman. They
are Inhuman because they are mon
arch. They would not consent to take
the places on the thrones were they not
Inhuman. It Is a republic that we want
and It Is a republic that the anar
chists In every country will have."
Then came an Implied threat against
hih officials in this country, when the
young woman shouted: ,
"They have run us out of Italy where j
to have stayed would have been to have
starved. Things are no better here.
We are treated like dogs In the mills.
We are not considered human by Amer
icans. We do net starve but there is
a worse death than starvation. It is
neglect. Who Is responsible for this
government? We will try to better It
by fair means, and If we cannot suc
ceed we will try other methods,"
NEW YORK. July 31. Nicolal Gig
loottl, 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 Republican Federation" of
this country. Glglootti Is secretary.
He made the following statement con
cerning the murder of Humbert:
"In the name of the Italian Republi
can Federation of the United States,
I affirm 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 good
ness of King Humbert, whose record
as regards labor has been a bad one.
Many Italian laborers were killed by
bis soldiers In the bread riots not long
ago, with but the slightest proveicatlon
It may be that the man who has
killed him vindicated the blood of the
unfortunates who lost their lives on
that occasion. The Italians In this city
do not believe that the murder was con
cocted or was the result of a plot I
do not know what will be the situation
In Italy, but one thing Is sure, that
goon the monarchy will be a thing of
the past."
The Italian Federation Is about 103,000
strong in the United States. '
NEW YORK. July 31. It can' be
stated that the French police are In
possession of Important facts con
cerning the antecedents and associ
ates of Fressl, the murderer of King
Humbert, and that they are In commu
nication 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 publicly de
clare that there Is no plot behind the
assassination, the information In the
hands of the police shows the reverse to
be true. One of the chiefs of the po
litical police in an, Interview declared
that, after the Milan troubles, Italian
refugees poured Into France, and that
many who suffered term of hard la
bor then are now coming out of prison
and finding tbelr way abroad, These

"Frank Pettlgrew, .on ' of Senator
Pettlgrew, of South Dakota, ha ar

A dispatch received at the war office
today from Lord Robert materially
modifies yesterday' statement of the
surrender of 5,000 reb-'ls under General
Prinsloo. It now appeara that Gen
erals Prinsloo, Vlllerg and Crowther
surrendered with 8S6 men, 1432 horses,
S53 rltie and a Krupp nine-pounder.
Some of the leader In more distant
part of the hills hesitate to come in
on the plea that they are Independent
of General Prinsloo. Lord Roberts adds
that he haa directed General Hunter to
resume hostilities forthwith and to lis
ten to no excuse.
NEW YORK. July 31.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says;
The surrender of the entire force un
der General Prinsloo was brought about
after an exchange of letterg. Gener
al Clement, MacDonald and Run
die co-operated in this arduous and bril
liant campaign, but- General Hunter
receive the credit for the capture of
this large force, and will be one of the
heroes of the war. Commandants
Prinsloo, Rondfourle and ColMe are
among the Boer' leaders In the Orange
River Colony who have surrendered.
De Wet's Is the only force of any Im
portance still In arms in the colony,
and this Is reported to be held at bay
near Reltzburg by Colonel Broadwood'g
troops, with General Methuen marching
from Potchlefstroop " to complete the
investment
A large British army will be released
In the eastern district of Orange River
Colony for final operations in the

The satisfaction caused by the sur
render of Commandant Prinsloo Is
clouded by the paluful recital of the
correspondent of the Daily News of the
shocking manner In which General
Rundle's men have been starving dur
