The Emperor's death cuts short the career

The new Emperor. as far as his character
can be estimated, holds out no hope of per-

people, and his accession has been looked
forward to with no little anxiety because Of
the general belief that he cherishes ambi-

other war. There seems little doubt that
his personal influence will be exerted in the

he has talked with several prominent repub-

Malone would do in such case. he replied
he did not know what Malone would do

could not carry the Virginia republicans
away from the national republican party.
Republicans, he said, as we'll as other peo-

from the way some of the Virginia demo.

they are as much mistaken as the Tribune.

THE DEATH OF THE EMPERoR.-Sir Nor
ell Mackenzie stepped out, walked rapidly
to the Crown Prince William, who was
waiting for him, and, after few hurried
words, they went in where the Emperor was
breathing his last. His head was raised By
large pillows. His wan hand lay on the
white coveret nervously twitohing it. The
Empress at the lower end of the bed knelt
and remained in that position during the last
hour, watching her busbsnd's faint grasp
FIR breath. At the foot of the bed kDelt the
four daughters. Prince Henry and the two
daughters-in law. The chaplain softly MUIR
INJURED the litany. At some distance were
the members ofthe household.
Whenever consciousness returned his
hand sought that of the Empress pressed il
softly and held it. He would not quit his
hold until the fits OF coma overcame him.
His every look showed that he was fully
aware of what was passing around him. H.
deed, his eyes had such an eloquent express
sion that his very thoughts seemed revealed.
He breathed his last quietly and painlessly,
the immediate cause of death being pro.
nounced paralysis of the lungs.
Every five minutes Sir Morell-the other
physicians standing behind him-felt the
Emperor's pulse, and the expression of his
face showed that it was growing weaker.
The breathing grew short and 80 faint that
the physician was obliged to place his ear
o'ose to the Euperor's lips. At eleven
O'Clock Sir Morell signed to the Empress,
who fervently kissed the hand of the dying
Emperor, and it was observed he drew 1t to
him and kissed this last act. At twelve
minutes past eleven O'Clock Sir Morell took
out his watch and declared that life had
passed away

FRIDAY. NOVEMBER. 9. 1893.
Grand Opera House.

Last night Mr.. Newton Beers, who
il not a stranger in San Antonio, hav-
ing been here four years ago, present.
ed the melo-drama Lost in London"
The play opens in Lancashire col
lieries and then passes to London,
where it ends. The hero's wife Is Sc
duced and taken to London, where
she is found by her husband, but
dies repentant as he forgives her ana
her betrayer goes off the stage also
entant. The Lancashire dialect
and manners form strong feature OF
the play, though Mr.. Beers does not
put on the full Lancashire brogue.
If he did his American audiences
wouldn't understand two words he
uttered. He can talk it, however,
quite as rich as native of that dis
trict of England. The piece is put on
with semi-spectacular effects, which
to saw the least, are pleasing. The
play does not call for the highest Or
der of acting, and this of course is not
given. Some pleasing musical num-
bers were interspersed by Miss Ro-
maine, who repeated the "Home
Sweet Homer ballad sung by Miss
Francis Herbert with Nellie Nc
Henry's company Sunday and Tues
day night; but she did not sing it as
sweetly; and by the Pan Pipe Singers,
Byron Harlan, George Rareshide, Jack
Guilmette and Jerome Sykes; Sykes
by the way, was the fine baritone
who was such an advantage to the
Templeton Opera company on their
last visit here. Harry Gilfoil, the
wonderful mimic, contributed most of
the comedy of the play, and also
amused the house for nearly half an
hour by limitations of birds, animals
and the human voice.
The powers of Newton Beers are
not strong. He belongs to the mid
die class of actors, ana his play this
time would be quite as unsuccessful
as some of his other ventures were 1t
not for the spectacular effects, as he
has been giving it (but not i'll San An
tonio) and by the musical speciaities
he has with him. Tonight the
plav will be repeated.
