Mr H. W. Seaman, writing in the Sunday Chronicle recently, stated that he had a list, by no means complete, of 50 illustrious victims of assassination in the last 40 years. It includes Shahs, Czars, Presidents, Generals, Prime Ministers, Kings, Queens, an Emperor or two, ft Sirdar and a Viceroy. Not one of the assassinations took place on British soil. Mr Seaman says: “The last time I was in Madrid I was shown nt least 30 spots nt which statesmen had been murdered. In one square I saw the marks made by the bomb that was thrown at King Alfonso and his young English bride, and I remembered the horror that the outrage caused in England. Lisbon and Rome arc similarly pock-marked by memories of assassinations. Every one of the assassins throwing his bomb, or tiring his revolver, or lifting his dagger, had in his mind no honest hatred, but only an unreasoning lust for fame. They all failed. It is hard to-day to get to know their names.”
