PLENTY OF GAUCUSING

Mobile, Ala, September 12-(Special)- trict convention is tied up on the creden- tials of Washington and Choctaw counties. The Hannis Taylor delegates caucused un- til o'clock on the advisablity of not go- ing into the convention, but voted finally to go in. Before doing so they proposed to the Wash Taylor delegates to submit the rights of Washington and Choctaw to a committee of disinterested men from both factions. The proposition was declined on the ground that there were no disinter- ested parties present. Jim Matthews of Clarke county made a speech in which he said there were plenty of six-footers in the IIannis Taylor delegation, and they should assert their manhood and stop the bull dozing. Jim Gray of Mobile made mo- tion to go into the convention. It was adopted, and all went in but E. B. Kirk bride of Mobile.
 Executive Chairman Locklin of Monroe called the convention to order at o'clock. w. D. Dunn was made temporary chair man. When the Hannis delegates came into the hall they were received with an ovation. The committee on credentials was appointed, B. F. Fillmore of Marengo, G.. W. Powe of Clarke, G. G. Scott of Mon- roe, P. J. Lyons and Henry Jones of Mo- bile. A recess was then taken till S:SO o'clock. The meeting again at that hour took a recess to 1O:30 o'clock, awaiting the report of the credentials committee. Late this evening the Mobile delegation asked Elmore for their credentials, but were re- fused. It looks now as if the Mobile del- egation will not participate, expecting thereby to break the quorum in the vote on contest.

COVERED WITH FLOWERS

The funeral obsequies were conducted by Rev. pr. Wright of Tullahoma, Tenn; Rev. Dr. Sweepe of the Second Georgia and Rev. Dr. Bannister of Huntsville, Ala, Fully 5000 people were present.
 The funeral party reached Wheeler Sta tion at ocock yesterday afternoon From that time until the funeral body lay in state in the family parlor with a military guard from the Fifth United States cav airy, under command of Lieutenant J. w. Craig and Major Beach of General Shaf- ter's staff. At the grave the famous choir of the First Florida sang "America," which was intoned by the immense concourse present. As the minister pronouced the words, Earth to earth, dust to dust" three volleys were fired over the grave.
 The body lies in a vault at the foot of the family tomb, over which rises q plain but symmetrical marble shaft, under which lies the remains of his mother and other members of his family
 The scene at the grave was an impressive one. The casket was literally covered with flowers, all sections of the country, north and south, contributing. Topping all was the dead sailors sword and belt, and en- veloping the coffin was an immense Ameri- can flag. As the last note of taps rendered by the trumpeter, died away, there fell deep hush over the vast audience, whose hearts beat in unison with the hero father and noble daughters so crushed by the sad blow General Wheeler careworn and half i'll, is completely crushed and all the life seems gone from him.
 In short interview General Wheeler said that the undertakers and life-savers at Montauk told him that his son had evident ly lost his life in trying to save that of his companion, whose arms were locked around Toms body in a death-grip, while the dead boys face was covered with scratches from the others finger nails.

 sage to the Pope.

Geneva, Switzerland, September 12.-The post mortem examination of the remains or the late Empress of Austria, who was as sassinated on Saturday last by an Italian anarchist, whose name has been variously given as Laccheni, Luchesi and Luigini, has revealed that the weapon completely transfixed the heart, penetrating three and one-third inches, and making a wound one sixth of an inch wide. The fact that her majesty walked fifty yards to the steamer is ascribed to her remarkable will power and natural energy.
 The body of the empress has been en- closed in a triple coffin and placed in room transformed into a mortuary cham Der. The walls of the apartment are yelled with black drapery, covered with silver stars, and several Sisters of Charity are continually on their knees beside the bier, praying for the soul of the departed. Near by stands the prayer table of the deceased, bearing her rosary and cruciflx.
 Emperor Francis Joseph will not leave Austria, but will send high court officials to take the body to Vienna Flowers are arriving in profusion.

NOT AIMING AT DICTATORSHIP

Madrid, September 12.-The senate at to- days session definitely adopted the His pano-American protocol.
 Gen. Camille Poliveja, former governor general of Cuba and of the Philippines, in the manifesto declaring his readiness to place himself at the head of neutral party in Spanish politics denounces il "evils existing in the present political sys- tenn" and declares that "every department needs cleansing"
 His programme, therefore, begins with a drastic purging of the administration" and then advocates " reform in taxation" and "purification of the electoral system,
 After pledging his "unwavering loyalty to the throne" Gen. Polievaja says: Spain must shape her future career in accordance with her reduced sphere or sovereignty without losing her aspirations for the future. Above all things full light is required. The panish people must not be deluded by misrepresentations as to the country's strength
 In conclusion he repudiates the charge that he is aiming at the dictatorship and appeals to all Spaniards not to be silent spectators of the ruin of our country, but to concentrate forces and place men in power.

 "very well as you wish it, I will. The generals to whom l referred are General Weyler, General Blanco and General Primo de Rivera. I will also include in the same category Admiral Cervera.' This announcement led to ap extraordI- nary scene of tumult.
 Captain Aunon, minister of marine, re- ceived today an important dispatch from the Philippines describing a conflict be- tween the Spanish gunboats and an insur- gent fotilla, in which the former success fully prevented an insurgent landing in the Vizcayas. According to the dispatch the insurgents have five vessels, all of which were sunk. The Spaniards have no loss, but the telegram asserts that hundreds of the insurgents are believed to have per- ished.

Cyn cal DemeanOr
 The assassin maintains his cynical de- meanor and frankly congratuates himself upon the success of his crime He says:
 'I am an anarchist, but I belong to no committee Let them do as they like with me. That is my strength"
 On the order of a magistrate the assassin was taken this evening from Sananthony prison to the Anthropomerical where he was measured and photographed. Photo graphs were given to the press, and will be given to the police in the cities where he lived. In the course of a second exam- ination as to his history and the motives for the crime, he said he had never known his father or mother. He was brought up at Parma, Italy, in a charity school, and at the age of 10 was thrown on the streets without resources. He worked as up- skilled laborer until he was 20. Then he served in the Italian army three years and a half. On leaving his regiment he was employed as the valet de ohambre of the Prince of Aragon for three months
 At this time anarchistic ideas possessed him, and in his own words, prevented me from remaining in servitude" In the course of life of adventure he happened to be in Buda Pesth in 1894 There for the first time he saw Empress Elizabe He was miserable and weak and applied to the Italian consul to be returned to Italy. The consul sent him to Siume. His descrlp- tion of his subsequent wanderings was vague, and he said he seldom, if ever, ob- tained work.

 "Above all, it is the great who must be struck Not only sovereigls and their min isters will be reached by the comrades, but all who make men miserable on earth.'
 He says he was not impelled by misery to kill the empress, as such course would have been ldiotic; but he committed the deed in order that such crimes, following one upon the other, might cause all who mpoverish the populace to tremble and shiver. The document concludes with this declaration:
 "I am an anarchist by conviction"
