CONGER'S CHANCES: DOPE OF EARLY DIRECT COWStr KICATIOX WITH MIW FreMhened by the Day's Sows from China The State Department is Proceeding With Cantion-Disposed to Regard Consul Fowler's Message as Valuable Confirmatorf Evidence of the Safety or the Pelt In Diplomats. Washington, July 30. The effect of the clay's news from China -nas to freshen the hope that the government can scon get In direct communication with Minister Conger. The mass of testimony as to his being alive as lato as the 22d instant, is now so great, as to warrant the department in resuming the consideration of projects for the future. With all of its anxiety to gat Mr. Conger and the Americans in Pe kin safely away, the Department is proceeding with proper caution, and la by no means disposed to accept any proposition that would unduly Jeopar dize their lives. Such might be the re sult of an off-hand acceptance of the proposition to have the Chinese gov ernment deliver the foreign ministers at Tien Tsin, for it is realized that the escort might be overpowered by su perior forces of Boxers on the way to the sea. The State Department has come to the conclusion that Mr. Conger himself is the Irfst person to judge of the condition under which his deliver ance shall be effected, and therefore it is again looking to the Clunese govern ment to place it in communication with Mr. Conger in order that it may be ad vised by him. That requirement was the tirst of the conditions laid down by President McKinley in his answer to the appeal of the Chinese emperor, so that the situation diplomatically can not be said to have been materially changed by the developments of to-day. The State Department was inclined to regard Consul Fowler's communi cation as the most valuable piece of confirmatory evidence yet received touching the safety of the Pekin diplo mats. Up to a late hour no answer had been received to the second Conger message, but in view of Consul Fow ler's news the officials were inclined to look forward to an early reply. It is known here that Germany is one of the governments which is putting forth every effort to get into direct communication with the beleaguered ministers, and, like the United States, has had recourse to the "underground route." An object of special solicitude is to discover whether Baroness Von Ketteler has escaped or whether she shared the fate of her husband. Up to the present nothing has been received to throw any light on the subject. The German Ambassador and the French charge called at the State De partment to-day to secure the latest in formation which Secretary Hay had re ceived, and both were pleased with the Fowler dispatch. General Chaffee reported to-day his arrival at Taku, in advance of the ex pected time. London. July 30. In the House of Commons to-day the Parliamentary Secretary for the Foreign Office, Mr. Brodriek, read the dispatch from the British consul at Tien Tsin, saying that the foreign Ministers at Pekin were safe -July 22d. Mr. Brodriek also read a dispatch in which the statement was mad that a strong body of troops, composed almost entirely of Hwang Su's, was around the legations and that the Chinese were forced to block the river with sunken craft, with a breach on the left bank, in order to Mood the country to the eastward. Mr. Brodriek added that the council of admirals decided, July 16th, that the railroad between Taku and Tien Tsin should be guarded and managed by the Russians. The government has inform ed Russia it acquiesced, as the arrange ment might be the most convenient, but that it must be clearly understood that the line would revert to its for mer management, i. e., the British on the termination of hostilities. Mr. Brodriek added that he did not yet know who was to have supreme com mand. British troops would be availa ble to co-operate with the allies, but no arrangement has been made to put them under command of foreign offi cers. SERIOUS STATE OF AFFAIRS IN MANCHURIA. St. Petersburg. July 30.-The Russian General Staff has received dispatches from various commanders indicating a serious state of affairs throughout Man churia. The revolt in the neighborhood of Mukden and the district northward has assumed such iroportions that the Rus sian column has been compelled to re treat from Mukden southward. Fightiryp continuously, the column with difficulty reached the station at Ajasondzian. where on July Sth. it was surrounded by Chi nese troops. Reinforcements were sent, and the withdrawal of the column was ef fected to Dazchizao. with forty-eight casualties, killed, wounded and missing. The railway from Mukden and Tildan and Dizalchio has been completely de stroyed, and the fate of the workmen and the railway officials north of Mukden 3 not known. The whole Mukden district is menaced by large bodies of Chinese troops, with artillery. Chinese troops and Boxers, in defianc of treaties, have appeared at the towns oi Tudshou. Sinjudshi and Gaiefon, inciting the inhabitants to revolt. On July 17th the garrison at Sinjudshi was shelled from the town, three men being killed. A Russian detachment returning from an inspection of affairs in Gaedun peninsula, was at tacked and surrounded by Chinese troops on July 21st. The Russians eventually repulsed the Chinese with loss of eight Cossacks killed and ten wounded. Similar reports have been received from other : crints. AMBASSADOR TO ITA'L' Washington, July .30. The President has tendered the appointment of Am bassador to Italy to former Governor Rodger "Wolcott, of Massachusetts. The? Italian Government also has been asked whether Mr. Wolcott would be accepta ble to it in such a capacity, a form always observed in international rela tions So far no response has been re ceived to either of the inquiries. Mr. Wolcott is supposed to be in France, and the President has communicated with him by cable, so an early reply is expected. NORTH CAROLINA ELECTIOH. rhc Proposed Constitutional Amend ment tnl the IP-ui-ra t ic Ticket Will llavf Over lo.ooo Majority. Charlotte, N. C. Jdlf The' Observer will to-morrow prb t special dispatched from every county in North Carolina, forecasting the result of the Stite election next Thursday, showing that the pro posed constitutional amendment and the Democratic ticket will hare over forty thousand majority. These estimates, it is claimed, are un biased, and forecast what the correspond ents in the ninety-seven counties believe will be the actual result of the vote. The figures show that ti e Republicans and Populists will probably carry twenty counties, while sevnty-five will give Democratic "majorities ranging from IOC t J 2SG0. In a summary of Its forecast the Ob server says: "Among other things brought out by a study of the specials from all over the State la the indication that the appeal of the Republican and Populist campaigners to the white voters cf the middle snd western sections of the State to go against the amendment for fear it would disfranchise those of them who cannot read, has utterly failed. The only evidence of the success of the work cf the illiterate voter is givt n in a few counties where the expectation is that the amendment will run slightly behind the Democratic State ticket. This loss, how ever, is probably offset in Republican counties in which the amendment will lead toe vote." THE WEST-nilKtHILL MPTIALS Lady Randolph 'Sunliill Harried to J.icutennut Gorg t'ornwaltla Went. London, July 28. Lady Randolph Churchill (nee Jerome) was to-day married to Lieutenant George Corn wallis West at St. Paul's church, Knightsbridge. The church was throng ed with handsomely dressed women. There was no restriction upon the num ber admitted to the church to witness the ceremony, except the capacity of the church, but only relatives and in timate friends were bidden to the sub sequent wedding breakfanst, and no re ception was held. Enormous crowds collected about the church gates, but the church was not overcrowded. It was sparsely adorned with palms and white blossoms. The two front pews, which had been reset ed for the family Of the bride, were quite unoccupied, while the Corn-wallis West family was not represented. The Duke of Marlboorough, who gave the bride away, arrived in summer-like attire, a gray suit and blue shirt, and wore a crimson flower in his button hole. Directly after he had performed his official duties, he seemed very glad to slip away into.a seat near his young American wife, who was one of the first to arrive. The arrival of Lady Randolph Churchill with the Duke of Marl borough was the signal for a genii;il rush of people outside the church, all pager to catch a glimpse of the bride, bs :3he walked slowly up the path. The bride was wonderfully handsome, and young looking as well, in a gown of pale blue chiffon with beautiful real lace and ostrich feathers in her toque. Directly they entered the vestiy, Win ston Churchill gave his mother a tre mendous hug, and then spoke to Lieu tenant West. Afterward, as they came down the aisle. Lady Randolph looked radiant, as did the young bridegroom, who was smiling and nodding to his friends. After the ceremony, the wedding party repaired to the residence of the bride's sister, Mrs. Moreton Frewen, where the wedding breakfast was served to fifteen people at six small tables, decorated with roses. After the breakfast, the bride and bridegroom started for Broughton Cas tle, which Lady A. G. Lennox has lent them for the honeymoon. Lady Randolph's going away dress, was a pale batiste. Lieutenant West was attired in a flannel suit. Showers of rice were thrown after the couple as they departed. The Prince of Wales called on Lady Randolph Churchill yes terday and bade her good bye. He also sent a present. THE NEW ORLEANS RIOTS. New Orleans. July 28. -Mob violence seems to have spent itself and the city, if not actually serene, is at least more quiet than it has been for several days and no fresh outbreaks were reported. The burning of the Thorny Lafon School last night was evidently the crowning piece of mo'i violence: Mayor Capdeville believes that law lessness such as that which has shock ed the community during the past few days can only be suppressed with force. He said to-day that he has no intention of disbanding the special police or dis charging the militia until the last ves tige of mob violence has disappeared. Both of these branches of martial gov ernment will be held in readiness for several days. Among the communications received by the Mayor to-day was an offer from the "leading citizens" of Tangipahoa for a sufficient number of able-bodied men to "annihilate the negroes of New Orleans." At police headquarters to-day every thing seemed to be quiet. Affidavits were made against those parties who were arrested yesterday, on the charge of harboring the negro Robert Charles. The identification of the latter was made complete and the negro will find a resting place in Potter's field. The grand jury is investigating the riots. A TORPEDO BOAT LAUNCHED. Bath, Me., July 28. The new United States torpedo boat Barney was launched successfully at half-past 1 to day. The conditions were favorable and a large number of spectators wit nessed the launching. The Barney was christened by Miss Ethel Nicholson Barney, of Fredericksburg, Va., a great-granddaughter of Commodore Joshua Barney, of revolutionary fame. The Barney was authorized by the Navy Department in 1898, and her con tract calls for a speed of twenty-eight knots on a two hours' trial. She will cost $170.000. CAPTURED AND BURNED THE VILLAGE.

KING HUMBERT KILLED. di:H ld DOWS BY THE OFLLET OF A AAA AMIS at nma, in the Korth of Italy Three Knots Fired - One Went 1 hroagh If is Heart nnd He Died in a Few MlniHe-Tlie Assassin Ar I nil J Mil is Angrelo Bm)l and He is from Prato, in Tnsewny Monza, Italy, July 30. King Humbert has been assassinated. He was shot here yesterday evening by Angelo Brcssi and u;ed in a few minutes. Monza is a city of Northern Italy, nine miles northeast f Milan. It haa a population of 25,000, and has been vi-sited a number uf times by Kin? Humbert. The King has been attending a dis tribution of prizes in connection with a gymnastic competition. He had just entered his carriage with his aide-decamp amid the cheers of the crowd, when he was struck by three pistol shots fired in quick succession. One bullet pierced his heart. He fell back and expired in a few minutes. The assassin was arrested and with some difficulty, was saved from the fury of the populace. He gave his name as Angelo Bressi, describing him self as of Prato, in Tuscany. Rome, July 30. The news of King Humbert's assassination did not reach here until after midnight. Signor Sa i raccb, the Premier, summoned a meet ing of the Cabinet, and the Ministers will start at the eatliest possible mo ment for Monza. The Prince of Naples, heir to the throne, is yachting in the Levant. Washington. July 30. The State De partment this afternoon received official notification of the assassination of King Humbert from Mr. Iddings, the charge oi the united btates embassy at Rome, as follows: "King Humbert assassinated last night (Sunday) at 10 o'clock, at Monza, while driving away after distributing prizes at competitive athlete exercises. The King was shot at three times by an Italian and died a few minutes later. Have just received official note from Ministry of Foreign Affairs, announc ing the death of the King and succes sion of his son, Prince Victor Eman uel." Washington, July 30. The following message of condolence upon the death of King Humbert has been sent from this country to Italy: Department of State, Washington, D. C, July 30, 1900. "His Majesty, Vittorio Emanuela, Rome: "In my name and on behalf of the American people, I offer Your Majesty and the Italian nation sincere condo lences in this hour of deep bereave ment. (Signed) "WILLIAM McKINLEY." The following message has been sent to Baron Fava, the Italian Ambassador to this country: "Department of State, Washington, D. C, July 30, 1900. "His Excellency, Italian Ambassador, The Octagon, Seabright, N. J.: "The tidings of the King's assassina tion have profoundly shocked public sentiment. The President has tele graphed to His Majesty, Vittorio Emanuel, offering in his name and on behalf of the American people sincere condolences in this hour of deep be reavement. Permit me to add the as surance of my personal sympathy. (Signed) "JOHN HAY." Baron Fava acknowledged the receipt of President McKinley's telegram of condolence as follows: "Your telegram received and trans mitted to my Government. I am deeply grateful for the part the President, Your Excellency and the American peo ple take in our great sorrow. (Signed) "FAVA." Monza, July 30. After the shooting of King Humbert here last night, as soon as His Majesty's attendants could realize what had happened, he was placed in his carriage and driven as rapidly as possible to the palace. He was, however, beyond human aid. The assassin's name is variously given as Angelo and Gaetno Bressi. He was born in Prato November 10, 1S69, and is a weaver by trade. He comes from America, where he had resided at Paterson, N. J. He says he had no accomplices, and that he committed the crime because of his hatred of monarchical institutions. He reached Monza July 27th from Milan, where he stayed a few days. It appears that when King Humbert was wounded he exclaimed: "It Is nothing." The royal carriage covered the distance between the Gymnastic Society Clubhouse, where the crime was committed, and the royal villa, at full speed, requiring but three minutes. The King expired on the way, and, although placed on a bed, was dead when the doctors arrived. Bressi is young, tall and swarthy. It appears that he remained four days in Prato and two days at Bologna, after which he came here. When Queen Margherita arrived at the villa it was still hoped that the King would survive, and when the truth was broken to her a heart-rending scene ensued. Bursting into tears she exclaimed: "It is the greatest crime of the century. Humbert was good .and faithful. No person could have loved his people more. He was one who bore ill will to none." When the Queen's mother arrived there was another affecting scene. The assassin is strictly guarded in prison. He continues to preserve abso lute indifference and took his meals to-day without any sign of being affect ed by his position. A second revolver was found on the public stand in the gymnastic grounds. . Erussels, July 30. A special dispatch from Rome says: "Mgr. Angelo Di Pietro (prefect of the congregation of the council) took it upon himself to inform the Pope of the assassination of King Humbert. He entered the chamber of Leo at a very 2arly hour. Th latter was already awake. The Cardinal cautiously first stated that an attempt had been made upon the life ef the King, whereupon the Pope immediately asked if the wound was dangerous. The prelate re plied, "Very dangerous," but his anx ious air was noticed by the Pope, who at once divined the truth. His emotion was such that he was unable to speak for some time. When his distress had oassed he wished to leave his bed and to celebrate mass for the repose of the KingJs soul. Laex he summcint-d Car- J fllnai Kampotia (pa par- rr r--tary of State), whom he requested to send a 3isi atch of condo lence to Princess CIo tilde. sister of the Queen. The audl snces fixed for to-day were suspended." Rome, July 30. The Conservator of the Quirinal has sealed up all the pri vate apartments of Kins; Humbert and nil the doors of the palace except one. The members of the diatom! all went this moi fling to the Foreign .office to tender their condolences. The visitors' books at the Quirinal have al ready been h!hd with the names of callers. Profound calm prevails throughout the entire country. Such members of the Chamber cf Deputies as are In Rome met this afternoon and adopt, l a resolution execrating the crime and expressing unbounded sorrow. Telegrams from all the towns and villages of Ttly show that al! th country deeply mourns the death of the King. Everywhere flags are half masted and shops are closed. All gar rison towns at noon saluted with one hundred guns, while at the naval ports minute guns were fired. The munici pality of Milan half-n-.asted its flag and published a manifesto objurating the horrible tragedy. The Bourse at Rome has closed and not a shop Is open. Rome, July 30 Orders have been tele graphed to all provincial officials to take steps to assure orde r and prevent possi ble revolutionary movements. The Klnp will be requested to summon Parliament Immediately upon his return here. Paterson, N. J.. July SO. The report that Angelo Bressi, who was arrested yester day at Monza, Italy, for the assassination of King Humbert, had lived here, caused quite a sensation in the Italian quarter this afternoon. After a dilisrent search among the Italians. It was learned that a silk weaver named Antrelo Bessi, aged ahout 32 years, had worked in the silk mills owned by Hamil & Pooth, In this city, up to May 7th last. He left for Italy about that date, and nothing has been heard of him since. During his stay here, which was ahout six months, he lived at Hotel Bartholdi. S2." Straight street. Those who knew him say that he was of quiet temperament and an inoffensive man. He said he had a wife and a 7-year-old daughter, who lived somewhere in Hobo ken, and that he visited 'hem regularly every Sunday. Where they lived or whether they acc mpanied him on his re turn to Italy could not be ascertained. Rome, July "0. The Tribuna, in a spe cial edition, denies that a temporary re gency will be established. The Ministry de jure has resigned. Rome. July 31. All the military and na val forces throughout the country will to day (Tuesday) take the oath of fidelity to the new King. All the deputies of the Extreme Left now in Rome met together yeste rday and adopted a resolution expressing abho: rence of the crime. The cardinals met at the residence of Mgr. Rampolia to discuss the line of con duct to be followed in connection with th; obsecpiies. Last evening the students paraded th streets, cheering for the house of Sa voy. No disturbance of public order has b' i . reported at any point. A proclamation from the Quern Reg 1 has arrived, announcing the ascension ' the new King and stating that Pari::, ment will be convoked after the funeral. Several warships have started to m King Victor. It is reported that Em pcror William will attend the funeral. The Socialists and anarchists have 1 sued a formal condemnation of the crln: The police have made several arrests . f suspected persons on the theory that a conspiracy exists. The Socialist organ Avanta accused th government of being the indirect assas sin of the King, because of a mistak : policy of dealing with Socialists. In con sequence of this tirade the police seized the Avanta. The Pope's grief was unmistakable. As surances have heen conveyed to the gov ernment that the Vatican will discourage! any attempt to embarrass the Ministry. This is the outcome of a rumor that a dangerous coalition exists between the ex treme papal party and the Republicans for the overt' n ow of the monarchy. xvew lorK, Juiy au. Alter oroTeirim Roosevelt came from a conference with Senator Hanna, Manley, Bliss, Senators Scott and Gibbs to-day. he said: "I have absolutely nothing to say. I have seen Senator Hanna, Senator Scott, Mr. Manley and Mr. Gibbs, and have had a pleasant talk with them and expect that Senator Piatt will be here in about a half hour to see Sena tor Hanna. I do not know whether I will be able to return for that meeting or not. I don't ex"pect to be anything but a private citizen during the month of August. Later than that I have not made any definite arrangements." Asked later if the talk at the confer ence included the speeches that he had made in the West, notably the one in St. Paul, he replied: "Yes, we did talk that over as well as other speeches I made. The speech in St. Paul was brought up, but was not criticised." After Governor Roosevelt left the building Senator Piatt arrived and went to Senator Hanna's room, where the two held a long conference. M'FADDEN BESTS O'BRIEN. New York, July 30.
