SEEKING A MISSING ARcHDuKk
The First Austrian Warship to Visit San
Francisco for II Years.


SAN FRANCISCO. April 2s-The Austrian
corvette Fasana reached San Francisco from
Valparaiso this morning. She flies an Ad-
miral's flag, although she is the only ship of
her nationality in Pacific waters. The
Fasana is also the first Austrian man-of-war
that has touched this port in II years.
Prior to the arrival of the Fasana 1t was re-
ported she had been searching for Arch
duke John, brother of Emperor Francis
Joseph, of Austria, who, under the name Of
John Orth, left Auckland, New Zealand. in
a German sailing ship about two years ago
for Valparaiso. He had with him a woman
of much personal beauty, who he said was
his wife.
The story, as told by Orth, was that
he left Austria because he was not
allowed to marry the woman Of his
choice. From Valparaiso, also, came news
that Orfh had been drowned in the harbor
about II months before. When spoken to
ABOUT the matter the officers on the Fasana
said their vessel had not been looking for
the missing Arohduke. The corvette Donau
was employed for that purpose, but she re-
turned to Triest seven months ago, as 1t
had been proved beyond peradv that
j Ohm Orth is dead.

/. THE THREE INFINITIEs.

The vast remote blank darkness OF the skies,
Where Silence foldeth the immortal chime
OF wheeling stars in awful companies,
White whispers OF the lips Of ancient Time:
The hollow waste of the unfathom'd deep
Where no sound is, and light is but gleam +
Lost in dim twilight shades, where never creep
The dying rays from daytide's golden dream:
The dark, obscure. mysterious human heart.
Where fierce tides ebb ana flow for evermore,
Where thoughts and dreams and hopes forever
part
For ruin or hayen on some unknown shore
y vast abysm, more deep than starry night,
More awful than the mid-sea's soundless night
-NYLHam Shayp, In Harper's A0odstns.

THE CORRECT ATTITUDE.

In his reply to the citizens of Wyoming
who are opposed to the wealthy cattle
mems raid, the President states that the
United States troops were ordered to in
teTvene, only upon the application of the
Governor and that the prisoners will be
turned over to the civil authorities as soon
as the latter are ready to receive them.
This puts the Administration in the cor
rect attitude; and as The DISPATCH YES
terday commented on an apparent inter-
ference of the troops with civil justice, it
is only fair to recognize that if there has
been such atemporary interference, it will
be entirely corrected by the steps specified.
The reports have stated that the Sheriff
of johnson county had already demanded
the custody Of the prisoners; which, if cor
rect, indicates that the officers in charge
Of the troops had in refusing the demand
taken position which the President will
not sustain. By the statement of the
President, it will be left with the courts of
Wyoming to decide how to deal with
wealthy citizens who arrogate to them
selves the right of private murder.

It's Tails Causes Comment
RooHEsrER, N. Y, April 23.-Prof. Swift got
another glimpse of his comet tyesterday. He
said to-day: 'Prof. Barnard's observations
were made before the moon interfered and
the report is probably correct. The first
report of observations that came from San
Francisco was absurd, as 1t stated them to
have been made after the moon had come.
The disappearance of one of the tails Is q
remarkable mystery. The result Of Prof.
Barnard's work Is very unusual"
DR.. Swift presents IS possible explana-
tion of the two tails the idea that the comet
might have one tail which is a hollow cylin-
der, whirhng around rapidly and thereby
giving the appearance of double tail. "And
yet" he added. "no explanation of these
comets is apt to be correct. Every such ex-
PLANTATION put forward is destroyed by phe-
nomena presented by later comets"

A QUALIFICATION FoR IMMIGRANTS

The interview with Mr.. r. ID. Layton,
the United States Inspector of Immigra-
ton, on the class of immigration which
this country has been receiving, confirms
the belief which THE DISPATCH has ire
quentiy expressed, that our present immi-
grafton laws are really of little service. A
few classes of immigrants which are
highly undesirable are kept out; and
Others, who might be valuable citizens, are
also excluded. But the number of both
is a mere drop in the bucket beside the
mass of ignorance and poverty which
is pouring into the country by the thou
sands every week.
The trouble with our present immigra-
ton laws is that they place too much stress
on the external circumstances of the i'm
migrant, and too little on the real quality.
That defect could be remedied by the un-
doubtedly timely suggestion of Mr. Layton
that an educational restriction be placed
on immigration. Education need not be
the sole criterion of an immigrants fit
ness. Respectable and law-abiding char
scter should accompany it. If these quail
fcations were insisted upon in the case

he told her of the affirmation of the
sentence of the lower court. He
made an effort to control his emo
ton, but when his wife fell into his
arms, sobbing as if all had been
torn away from her, he bore his
head to her shoulder and gave way
to tears. Their eldest daughter, a
beautiful girl of 20 years, was also
greatly affected. In a few moments
