Italy Demands the Punishment of
Those Who Conspired with the Mur
derer of King Humbert —Italian Min
ister Requests an Investigation.
Paris, Aug. 2.—An attempt on tho
life of'the shah of Persia, Musafer-Ed-
Din, was made this morning, but luckily
it resulted in no harm to his majesty.
A man broke through a line of police
men as the shah was leaving his apart
ments and tried to mount the royal car
riage step. He was seized and placed
arrest.
It was just a quarter past 0 o’clock
when the carriage of the shah emerged
from the court of the sovereign’s palace.
Seated in the carriage with the shah
was his grand vizier, while opposite
him sat General Paret. The carriage
turned to the left toward the Avenue
Bois de Bologne. It had proceeded but
a few yards when a man approached
the royal carriage. He held a revolver
in his hand, but as soon as his intention
was divined the police disarmed him be
fore he was able to fire.
At the police station the man ex
pressed regret that he had been unable
to carry out his intentions. He said:
“This is an affair between me and
my conscience. ’ ’
RIGOROUS MEASURES TAKEN
Conspirators Against King Humbert
to Be Punished.
Washington, Aug. 2.—ln compliance
with an urgent representation made by
Ambassador Fava, the Italian repre
sentative in this country, Secretary Hay
has requested the governor of New Jer
sey to take measures to obtain evidence
preliminary to the prosecution of any
persons within his state who conspired
to bring about the assassination of King
Humbert.
Within a short time, therefore, the
authorities expect to have officially de
termined the question whether the crime
was the result of a conspiracy hatched in
the United States. If the evidence to
support the assertion that such is the
case can bo obtained, it will then be
necessary to decide whether the federal
or state laws permit prosecution of per
sons charged with conspiring against the
ruler of a foreign nation.
The communication received at the
state department from Baron Fava
shows clearly that he has placed detec
tives at work to put tho responsibility
for the crime upon the shoulders of those
persons in Paterson who conspired with
Bresci to murder the king.
Baron Fava has not, of course, asked
for the extradition of any persons who
took part in the conspiracy, nor is he
likely to do so, as such a request could
not be entertained by this government.
It may be, however, that the laws of
New Jersey contain a provision under
which the conspirators can be prose
cuted. Tho administration will take
W’hatevor action it can to punish any
persons who conspired with Bresci
against tho king. It is stated that un
less rigorous measures are taken Italy
will not consider that this government
has behaved in a friendly manner and the
cordial relations whicn exist between
the two governments may, in conse
quence, be endangered.
Will Be the Czar Next.
Rome, Aug. 2. —The assassin of King
Humbert said to his warden today: “It
will be the czar’s turn next.”
Bresci has been removed from Monza
to Milan.
The police have found evidence that
Bresci acted in collusion with others
and numerous arrests have been made.
Bresci’s brother, a shoo dealer, another
kinsman named Marozza and several an
archists have been arrested at Prato.
Natale Possanzini, who was arrested at
Ancona, admits traveling with Bresci
from Milan to Monza.
Emanuel Meets His Mother.
Monza, Italy, Aug. 2.—King Victor
Emanuel 111 on arriving here met his
mother, Queen Marghuerita, at the cas
tle. She fell into his arms weeping.
The king kn*lt before the body of his
father and repeatedly kissed and em
braced it. Afterward, for an hour, he,
his mother and his wife prayed in the
death chamber.
FREIGHT” TRAINS COLLIDE.
Both Engines Demolished and Sixty
Box Cars Destroyed.
Mobile, Aug. 2.—One of the worst
wrecks ever known on the southern di
vision of the Louisville and Nashville
occurred at Grand Bay, Ala., about 1
o’clock. Southbound train No. 78 was
entering Grand Bay at the same mo
ment that the extra northbound freight
was coming around the curve to the
westward of the station. The engeneers
immediately blew down brakes and put
on tho air, but it was useless, the two
trains were under full headway and the
distance between them was so short be
fore they had discovered each other that
a collision was unavoidable.
The trains rushed into each other
with a tremendous crash, the locomo
tives being smashed into pieces while
the box cars of either train were piled
upon one another. The engineers and
firemen, as soon as they saw that a
wreck was inevitable, jumped and es
caped unhurt, except Fireman Reed
Smith, who was badly hurt about the
face. Some GO box cars in the two trains
were destroyed.
insurance Rates increased.
Augusta, Ga., Aug. 2.—Tho insur
ance rates for Augusta have been revised
by the Southeastern Tariff association
and the new schedule has gone into
effect. It is estimated that the increase
in rates, while not uniform, will average
15 per cent. Excessive fire losses dur

MINISTERS MUST BE
GIVEN PROTECTION
Chinese Government Will Be
Held Responsible For
Their Lives.
REPLY TO LI HUNG CHANG
His Proposition to Put the Ministers In
Communication with Their Goverr
ments {Brings Out a New Phase In
the Situation—Secretary Hay Re
fuses to Open Negotiations.]
Washington, Aug. 2. —The state de
partment having made public the cor
respondence with Li Hung Chang rela
tive to the release of the ministers at
Peking and the position of this govern
ment being officially disclosed as one of
unalterable opposition to the institution
of negotiations on the advance or freeing
of the foreigners at Peking, it is believed
that a crisis has been reached, diplomat
ically speaking, in the Chinese situation.
If the Chinese government decides to
accept Secretary Hay’s terms, it must do
so very promptly, and its answer may
be forthcoming at any moment. Other
wise the march on Peking proceeds.
Neither the military nor naval com
manders at Tien Tsin or Taku have ad
vised the government here of the re
ported forward movement of the inter
national force The officials would not
be surprised at the lack of report, even
were the march already under way,
owing to the delays in telegrams be
tween Tien Tsin and Che Foo.
Doubt is expressed here, however, as
to the actual forward movement in force,
owing to the lack of cavalry and artil
lery. It is stated that military practice
would not warrant the forward move
ment of the entire International com
mand until the reconnoisance had been
made of the country in the immediate
front. Moreover, it is said the column
would not start farward as a whole, but
in detachments, leaving a considerable
force at the base—Tien Tsin.
Strength of the Allies.
The last advices from any official
source that have been received by the
state department regarding the strength
of the international forces were to the
effect that it numbered 28,000 men of all
armies. This has since been increased
by at least one regiment and one battery
of United States troops, by 250 United
States marines and by an unknown num
ber of Japanese troops, but the impres
sion is that the aggregate strength of
the column is not above 50,000 men.
This, however, is regarded by our
government as quite sufficient for the
purpose of an immediate advance, and
holding that in view they have lost no
opportunity of quietly but earnestly
urging the Europeans to action. The
advantage was taken of the opportunity
afforded by the president’s return to
Washington to hold a meeting of the
cabinet. Secretary Hay was prepared
with a full report of all that he had
done in relation to the Chinese trouble
since the president’s departure and there
was little for the cabinet to do but to
set the seal of its approval upon the sec
retary’s policy, and particularly upon
the energetic communication to Li
Hung Chang.
Cabinet Approves of His Policy in the
Chinese Crisis.
Washington, Aug. 2.—The state de
partment has made public the corre
spondence between Li Hung Chang and
the state department regarding the aban
donment of the campaign in Peking.
Telegram sent to the United States
embassies in Berlin, London, Paris,
Romo and St. Petersburg and to the
United States minister to Tokyo:
“Department of State, Washington;
Aug. 1, 1900:
“In reply to a suggestion of Li Hung
Chang that the ministers might be sent
under safe escort to Tien Tsin, provided
the j)owers would engage not to march
on Peking, the secretary of state replied
July 30:
“ ‘This government will not enter into
any arrangement regarding the disposi
tion or treatment of legations without
first having free communication with
Minister Conger. Responsibility for
their protection rests upon the Chinese
government. Power to deliver at Tien
Tsin presupposes power to protect and
to open communication. This is in
sisted on.’”
This message was delivered by Mr.
Goodnow July 81 to Viceroy Li who
then inquired whether, if * ‘free com
munication were established between
the ministers and their governments, it
could be arranged that the powers should
not advance on Peking pending negotia
tions.”
To this inquiry the following reply
was sent by Secretary Hay Aug. 1:
“Goodnow, Consul General, Shanghai:
“I do not think it expedient to submit
the proposition of Earl Li to the other
powers. Free communication with our
representatives in Peking is demanded
as a matter of absolute right and not as
a favor. Since the Chinese government
admits that it possesses the power to
give communication it puts itself in an
unfriendly attitude by denying it. No
negotiations are advisable until the Chi
nese government shall have put the dip
lomatic representatives of the powers in
full and free communication with their
respective governments and removed
all danger to their lives and liberty. We
would urge Earl Li earnestly to advise
the imperial authorities of China to
place themselves in friendly communi
cation and co-operation with the relief
expedition. They are assuming a heavy
responsibility in acting otherwise.
“You will communicate this informa
tion to the minister of foreign affairs.”
Gold From Nome.
Seattle, Wash., Aug. 2.—The steam
ship Senator reached here bringing
Nome advices up to July 23. She had
aboard ;$175,000 of Nome gold, also about
875 passengers who, unable to make a
fortune in the north, returned rather
than spend any more time there.
To Raise the Price of Coal.
Middlesboro, Ky., Aug. 2. Coal
operators in this section are preparing to
raise the price of coal Sept. 1. A new
coal mine has just been opened near
Corbin, in Whitely county.

20,000 MEN WITH 170 GUNS
Li Hung Chung Appeals to the United
States—China Will Place the Minis
ters In Communication With Their
Governments If the Expedition Is
Abandoned—Embargo on News.
Shanghai, Aug. 2.—Tho allies ad
vanced toward Peking Wednesday. It
is estimated that the expedition num
bers 20,000 men of all armies, with 170
guns. It is hoped to reach Peking on
Aug. 12.
London, Aug. 2. —Because of the fact
that the Chinese agents at the principal
European cable points use free cipher
communication with the viceroys tho
foreign commanders at Tien Tsin have
seemingly put an embargo on news con
cerning the size and composition of tho
forces advancing on Poking.
Neither the English admiralty nor tho
foreign office have intelligence from
Tien Tsin later than Friday, July 27.
Telegrams from Hong-Kong and
Shanghai indicate that restlessness is
increasing in southern China. The Ger
man mission at Namon has been de
stroyed and the native city of WuChow
is no longer considered safe for foreign
ers. At tho Bogue forts target practice
is going on. At Canton the authorities
are enlisting recruits at $9 a month,
twice the usual pay. Proclamations
sent to the recruiting stations threaten
officers who defrauded the troops.
An agency at Shanghai says that Li
Hung Chang has asked the United
States consul general, Mr. Goodnow, if
he were placed in communination with
the ministers of Peking the commanders
would suspend the advance.
Mr. Goodnow, the report adds, replied
that he would ask the Washington au
thorities.
A third brigade was ordered to China
from India today. It consists of four
native regiments, about 6,000 men.
Another Tien Tsin version of the mes
sage from the British minister at Pe
king, Sir Claude MacDonald, of July 21,
describes him as saying:
“We have provisions for many weeks,
but little ammunition. ”
A news agency dispatch from Tieu
Tsin July 25 reports that Lieutenant
General Lipswitch has succeeded Ad
miral Alexieff in command of the Rus
sian forces there. The Russians, the
dispatch adds, are constructing armored
trains in the Tien Tsin shops and intend
reconstructing the railway as fast as tho
column advances toward Peking.
China’s Proposition.
Paris, Aug. 2.—The French consul
general at Shanghai telegraphs as fol
lows:
“Li Hung Chang has stated to the
United States consul that the ministers
will be put in communication with their
respective governments if the allies ar
rest their march on Peking. Chang is
yet unable to secure a reply to the mes
sage in his care to the French minister
at Peking, as the tsung li yamen will
not consent to the forwarding of cipher
messages for the ministers.
“It is asserted that the foreigners
within tho imperial city and the consu
lar corps have decided to entrust the de
fense of the concessions to the interna
tional naval forces.”

After a Wild Ride Down tho Mountain
the Carriage Upset.
Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 2.—While re
turning from the home of a friend on
the other side of Red mountain a family
carriage carrying three ladies and three
children rushed down on the horse com
ing down the macadamized road leading
from the mountain top and finally up
set. Miss Susie Flemming was driving,
and when the carriage started on its run
she was thrown out. The wheels of the
vehicle passed over her body, fracturing
her left elbow and left shoulder.
Mrs. Harry Engle jumped from the
moving vehicle, alighting on some sharp
stones on her head.
Mrs. E. J. O’Brien of Anniston, who

SCHUMPERT SHOE CO.
RUSSO-AMERICAN
ALLIANCE PROPOSED
Governments Are In Full Ac
cord on Chinese Affairs.
POLICIES ARE IDENTICAL
Both Desire the Permanent Pacifica
tion of China —Rapproachement Be
tween the Two Countries Would Con
solidate Peace of Eastern Asia.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 2. —An alliance
between Russia and the United States
for the settlement of the Chinese crisis
is urged in a lengthy article in The
Novoo Vremya.
This journal points out that just as
the Franco-Russian alliance neutralizes
the warlike menace of the triple alli
ance, so would a rapproachement be
tween the northern empire and the
United States consolidate the peace of
eastern Asia. It adds:
“As in the case of the Franco-Russian
alliance, our rapproachement with the
United States has, in fact, been long
prepared by the mutual and long stand
ing sympathies between the two nations,
and it remains for diplomacy to give
shape and form to these sympathies.”
The Novoe Vremya points out that the
attitude taken by the United States in
Chinese questions meets the fullest ap
proval of Russia. Neither country seeks
vengeance, but desires the substantial
and lasting pacification of China and the
far east.
“Both nations,” the journal says, “are
sufferers by the competition of Chinese
cheap labor, but do not seek retaliatory
measures. Russia in the old world, and
the United States in the new world are,
by fore of circumstances, the first to
enter into the historic struggle with the
yellow race, but just as in America we
will look upon the struggle not so much
as a rivalry between races as a rivalry
between civilization and the yellow dan
ger. In short, it affects Russians and
Americans most and naturally creates
like interests in the same question and
impels them to view events in eastern
Asia from the same matter of fact his
torical and humanitarian standpoint. ”
Position of Russians Serious.
Shanghai, Aug. 2.—Admiral Alexieff
has gone to New Chwang whore the
position of the Russians is regarded as
serious.
General Grodekoff, under date of
Wednesday, Aug. 2, telegraphs as fol

the czar, dated July 3, substantially in
the same terms as those to President
McKinley, President Loubet and Queen
Victoria, recited the czar’s reply to a
previous message and expressed grief
over the disorders in China.
“The absence of news from Peking as
to the fate of the Russian and other min
isters render mediation difficult. Rus
sian efforts will be directed to the resto
ration of order in China. Russia is
willing to aid the emperor in this re
spect.”
