Queen Margherita Affected
Pities Mrs. McKinley in Her Sorrow—The Pope’s Earnest Prayer.
London, Sept. 9.—Queen Margherita upon hearing
the news of the attempt upon the life of President McKinley says the Rome correspondent
of the Daily News, with tears in her eyes, said: “These things come hardest
on the women, and at least poor Mrs. McKinley should in her state of health,
have been spared.”
The Pope, the Daily News correspondent says, also
displayed deep emotion, exclaiming, “Oh, how earnestly I pray that he may escape
with his life. These violent crimes are the curse of our days. I can only offer
the afflicted victim and his poor wife my humble prayers.”
King Edward to Mr. Choate
London, Sept. 8.—The following telegram from
King Edward at Fredonsborg to United States Ambassador Choate was received at
ten o’clock this evening:
“I rejoice to hear the favorable account of the
president’s health. God grant that his life be preserved.”
(Signd.) EDWARD, Rex.
