GREAT SENSATION AT
 THE FRENCH CAPITAL

LONDON, Sept. IA special dis patch to the Sunday Times from Paris says: The assassination of the Elm press Elizabeth of Austria has created an immense sensation in the French capital, where the sympathy of the people is all the greater because it Is remembered that her sister, the Duchess D'Alencon. perished in the ter rible charity bazaar fire last year. Her other sister, the former Queen of Ma. pies. has resided in. Paris since the death of her husband. and the mur- dered Empress was a frequent visitor here and familiar to Parisians Sym pathetic crowds gathered near the Aus trian Embassy soon after the sad news began to spread through the city.
 The Vienna correspondent of the Ob- server says: When Count Goluchow- ski, the Austro- Hungarian Foreign Minister communicated the news to the Emperor the latter sank speeches. into a chair and remained for long time motionless. The remains of the Empress will be brought to Vienna at
The San Francisco call., 1898-09-11

shortly before 6 o'clock. It spread like lightning. The streets were suddenly filled with multitudes of people, many of them becoming impossible for vehi- cles.
 Extra editions were issued by all the papers. Many Viennese considered the report incredible until the semi-ofhcial Wiener Abend Post appeared, confirm ing the statements of the other papers.
 All the papers accompanied the an nouncement with warm tributes to the Empress. They were eagerly snatched from the hands of the sellers and were read aloud to groups of citizens.
 An indescribable grief overpowers the the people. The performances at the court theatres and the jubilee exhibi- tion have been canceled
 Emperor Francis Joseph received the news at Schoenbruhn. His Ma5esty's s tourney to attend the maneuvers at Zips. Hungary, was, of course. aban- doned.
 All the theaters here and in the pro- yincial towns are closed.
 The extra edition of the Weiner Abend Post appeared with black bor- ders. It expresses the universal sorrow felt at the loss of the noble Empress, whose life was one long case of philan- throphy, adding: "She had gone abroad in order to obtain fresh strength but only to become the victim of a wicked and mad attack"
 It concludes with an expression of sincere sympathy with the Emperor, upon whose beloved head such grief has fallen in the year of his jubilee"

once for state funeral. The Emperor is reported to have said: Shall I not be freed from grief and pain in this world? ?" s
M'KlNLEY',S MESSAGE
 RENDERING SYMPATHY


 WASHINGTON, Sept 10-The fol- lowing message has been received at the State Department:
 GENEVA, Sept. 1O.-The Empress of Austria has just been assassinated here by an Italian anarchist. "RIGLEY, Consul" Upon receipt of Consul Rigley's noti- fication of the death of the Empress, President Mckinley sent the following message of condolence:
 EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASH INGTON, Sept. 10.-To his Majesty, the Emperor of Austria, Vienna: I have heard with profound regret of the as- sassination of her Majesty, the Elm press of Austria, while at Geneva, and tender to your Majesty the deep sympa- thy of the Government and people of the United States.

SWISS OFFICIALS
 HORRIFIED BY THE
 FEARFUL CRIME

BERNIE, Switzerland, Sept. 10.-An- other account of the assassination of the Empress of Austria says: After having been stabbed from behind the Empress rose and walked on board the steamer, where she fell fainting. The captain did not wish to put off from the Empress and her suite, there being no apprehension that she was seriously hurt. The steamer was turned back. however, before it reached the open lake, and the Empress, unconscious, was carried to the hotel on a stretcher. The Empress had been stopping at the Hotel Beaurivage for several days.
 The President of Switzerland and other members of the Government were stunned with horror and grief when the news reached the palace that the En- press, so beloved by all Europeans, had fallen a victim to an assassin within the borders of their country. They inn mediately arranged to hold an extraor- dinary Federal Council on Sunday morning in order to consider the meas ures to take against the assassin.
 The latter must be tried according to Lne SldIuleS Ol tIlt SdulOu, AOi bid capital punishment, and makes life imprisonment the most severe penalty which can be imposed. When the Aus trian Minister, Count Kuerfstein, was informed of the tragedy, he hurried to the palace and was met with expres- sions of the utmost sympathy. So soon as a special train could be arranged the Minister started for Geneva, accom- panied by the Deputy Prosecutor Gen eral, who took up the case at once, his chief being on vacation. He will hold a preliminary inquiry at Geneva to- night or as soon as possible, and re- turn tomorrow in order to report to the federal council.
 The federal authorities had been in- formed of the visit of the Empress, and they notified the Governors of the Canton the Empress expected to visit, instructing them to take special po- lice measures for her comfort and safe ty If 1t appeared necessary. They were not notified of her Majesty's intention to visit Geneva, nor were the local of- ficials there aware of her presence. as she was travelling incognito. The po lice are not blamed, though the circum stances responsible for the lack of pre- cautions are widely regretted. All Switzerland is profoundly stirred with sorrow and indignation. The papers in all the cities have printed extra edi tions expressing horror of the crime.
