Geneva, Switzerland, September 10.-The Hotel Beauirvago this afternoon by an anarchist, who was arrested He stabbed her majesty with a stiletto.
 The murdere is a man named Lucichoni. He was born in Paris of Italian parents.
 It appears that her majesty was walking from her hotel to the landing place of the steamer at about o'clock, when the an-- archist suddenly approached and stabbed her in the heart.
 The empress fell, got up again and was carried to the steamer unconscious. The boat started, but seeing the empress had not recovered consciousness, the captain returned, and empress was carried to the Hotel Beauirvago, where she expired.
 The stretcher upon which the empress was carried to the hotel was hastily im- provised with cars and sail cloth. Doctors and priests were immediately summoned and a telegram was sent to Emperor Fran cis Joseph. All efforts to revive her majesty were unavailing, and she expired at 8 o'clock. The medical examination showed that the assassin must have used small triangular file. The wound was just over the left breast. A priest was secured in time to administer extreme junction.
 After striking the blow he ran along the Rue-des-Afps, with evident intention of en- fering the Square Des Apes, but before reaching 1t he was seized by two cabmen who had witnessed the crime. They handed him over to boatman and general gend- arme, who conveyed him to the police station.
 "She Must Be Dead"
 The prisoner made no resistance. He even sang as he walked along, saying: T did it, and "she must be dead"
 At the police station he declared that he was a starving anarchist with no hatred for the poor, but only for the rich.
 Later, when taken to the court house and interrogated by magistrate in the presence of three members of the local gov ernment and the police officials he pretend ed not to know French and refused an answer to questions. The police on search ing him found a document showing his name to be Lugi Lucichoni. born in Paris in 1873, and an Italian soldier.
 Great crowds quickly assembled around

 The local government, immediately on re- ceiving the news of her majesty's death. half f-masted the flag on the municipal office and proceeded in a body to the hotel as token of regret. The excitement increas- ing, many of the shops on the principal thoroughfares closed. The assassin told the magistrate that he came to Geneva in order to assassnate ''an important per- son." but had been unable to execute the project The reason of his failure he did not give, but he declared that it was only by accident that he learned of the presence of the Austrian empress in Geneva.
 The assassin, while being interrogated by the magistrate, said he came to Geneva with the intention of killing the Due DOT leans, but the latter had already left.
 Followed Another
 Lugi Lucichoni followed the Duke of Evian about twenty-five northeast of Geneva, where he was again unsuccess- 
 learned from the papers of the presence of the Austrian empress. Yesterday he dogged her footsteps. but found no oppor- tunity to carry out his purpose, though he watched the Hotel Beaurivigo all day.
 This afternoon about 1:30. he said. he saw the valet of the empress leaving the hotel and going toward the landing. He inferred from that the empress was going to take the steamboat, and he hid himself behind a tree on the quay, with the file concealed in his right sleeve. In few mn notes the empress, accompanied by her lady-of- -honor, appeared and the assassin struck the file home. Lucichoni confessed that he had been an anarchist since he was 13 years old.
