VIENNA, Feb. 5.-This city was today
entirely given over to mourning. All
places OF business were closed and the
shops throughout the city put up their
shutters early in the forenoon Many
streets usually bright and animated wore a
deserted look, the life of the town being
concentrated around the spot where the
obsequies Of the Crown Prince were held.
The thoroughiares leading TO the IIoTburg
bear ample evidence OF the public sorrow.
Numberless emblems Of mourning, black
flags and draperies, float from the roofs or
droop from the windows. Busts OF the
Crown Prince, surrounded with flowers,
CLEAN amid the sable adornments Of the
balconies. Enormous crowds commenced
to assemble outside the court chapel at an
early hour in the morning. Perfect order
prevailed, however, in contrast with the
disorder OF yesterday. The admission of
the public into the chapel ceased at 10
o'clock, when troops barred the streets
leading to Hoflburg.
The Emperor, Empress and the Crown
Princess attended requiem mass in the
oratory OF the palace, at which the
Miserero was sung by the court choir.
