more than an hour. In the evening the Duke
and Duchess, incognito, paid visit TO the
spot where the fatal bomb struck the En-
peror. This Is now enclosed and planted
with cypreSs-trees at each corner. the inter-

praying for some minutes. The people
standing near, seeing lady in deep mourn

and esteem on the part OF others. The
municipality has decided to build n memo
rial church on the spot, in accordance with
the wish OF Alexander III.
