THE ASSASSINATION OF THE EN-
PRESS OF AUSTRIA.

Late adviCes from Geneva say that Luc-
cheni, the assassin, did not attack Her
Majesty from in front, but approached
her from behind and stabbed her in the
back The wound he inflicted was not IN
the heart, but close to that organ, This
accounts for hef walking, with the assist
ance of one of her ladies-in waiting, to
the steamer that was waiting for her at
the pier. She did not know that she had
been stabbed She thought that an at
tempt had been made to steal her watch.
Countess Szaparay asked the Empress as
she entered the boat If she was suffering
any pain. The Empress replied
Il do not know; l think l feel pin
sticking in my chest l must be fright
ened."
The countess then asked the Empress
to take her arm, but Her Majesty
Strengthened up and said: mo, thank
YOU" She then walked firmly to the boat
upon reaching which she asked II she
was pale. The countess told her that she
was. Then the Empress sat down and
tainted. The countess then opened her
bodice but saw no blood. A little later
the Empress recovered consciousness and
rose to her feet, saying in clear voice:
Tell me what has happened" These
were her last words. Countess Szaparay
says she Is positive that the Empress dad
not know that she had received her death
wound.

In the foregoing each nation mentioned
has been credited with as much of the
earth as its flag covers, no account being
taken of comparative worth of holdings
or nature of title. But In world property,
as in any other, there are giit-edged cor
ner lots and there are out of the way
pieces. And as important as the thing
held Is the nature of the hold. Taking
these matters into account, tho nations in
the groups given at once begin to shift
their places. We can follow here but one
of them.
, The United States moves upward. 1t
passes France, China and Russia upon
the ground of better territory, better held
AS TO France, most of her possessions,
outside the nation proper have but lit
tie of the French impress upon them,
/ Much of her territory she owns only in
the sense that it lies within the French
| "sphere of influence" As to China, she
has but a weak hold upon her share of
the world, and 1t lies upon the wrong side
! of the globe. AS to Russia, while she
! owns over twice as much of the earth as
does the United States she has a less de-
airable world property. Latitude Is against
much of 1t, and topography against all.
1t Is an inaccessible piece of the globe.
| for with its vast stretch of coast line II
has scarcely any available seaboard.
This brings the United States to second
Mace In the matter of the ownership OF
the world. Whether she properly stops
| there or can successfully compete with
Great Britain for first place Is a question
for national real estate experts The
British Empire covers enough OF the
oarth TO make three such countries as the
United States and have half a million
square miles left over. But this territory
ia scattered all over the world, much OF
il is decidedly unimproved and unimprov-
able property, and much of 1t Is held In
a very uncertain grasp. Regardless OF
Englapd's power to hold the empire In
tact, 1t is doubtful II she would in all
cases attempt to do so, II Canada were
to insist upon her independence to-mor'
row she would stand good chance OF
obtaining 1t without trouble The United
states, on the other hand, has Its vast
portion of the globe mainly In one piece
of good quality. well located. and thor

So. Miles.


Spain's position on the list Is a precar-
ious one. Before the war she stood bet
ter, just below Persia. The figures given
show her size after the loss OF Cuba, They
will shrink somewhat further in the hands
of the peace commissioners. If the Philip
pines become American territory Spain
will drop out of the group altogether. The
ration that once owned more OF the world
than almost any other will have shrunh
to less th8n twice the area of Texas.
Another nation in this group in which
Americans are Interested Is Venezuela.
The figures given indicate her share of
the world as she claims It, But Great
Britain claims a large part of the same
territory. The Intervention of the United
States in the dispute led to the appoint
ment of commission, whose decision. II
in favor of Great Britain, may reduce the
figures for Venezuela some $1,000 square
miles.
The remaining one-eghth of the earth
Is divided among the other 40 odd SOW
elcIgnties in portions ranging from nearly
half million square miles in Peru to
eight square miles in Monaco. Among
these owners of small holdings are some
OF the important countries, as follows:
Burlington weekly free press. [volume] (Burlington, Vt.) 1866-1928, 1898-09-15

THESE nine nations own over three
fourths of the world.
The figures given for the United States
include Hawaii but not the yet indeter-
inmate territory we are to acquire from
Spain. Hawaii did not bring with her a
very large portion of the earth. Yet 66iO
square miles make a good-sized stepping
stone for Uncle Sam on his way to the
Orient. As to Spanish territory, If we
takc the minimum proposed, Porto Rico
and the vicinity of Manila, the acquis!-
ton will be only about 1000 square miles.
II Porto Rico and all the Philippines be
retained the United States will be larger
By about 1lS,O00 square miles. In other
words. our recent territorial gains
through peaceful annexation and by con-
quest have a total area somewhere be-
tween that of Massachusetts, and that of
New Mexico. If we anticipate a little
and add Cuba the total area gained be-
comes about that of California.
All this expansion does not change our
position in the list of great landholding
powers. We yet stand little below
France.
II we make a next smaller group of
countries. placing in it those having areas
from half a million to a million square
miles, we again have nine nations as fol-
lows:

but adyenturers of all natiOnalities,
whose sole purpose is plunder and rob.

The note will say that while Spain has
done everything possible TO pacify the Is

constituted themselves insurgents and
that az autonomy promised the desired
result an American squadron was sent to
Cuba TO encourage the insurgents TO hold
out.
The contentious, II ia added, will be

PROOF OF wETLERs TERRIBLE WORK.

Chicago, April I5.-The Times Herald
says; Charles A. Crandsll, alias Eman-
uel Rscadaro, who acting under the per-
sonal orders OF Captain General Weyler,
planted the mines and torpedoes In the
hArbOr Of Havana. has been run 70 earth
In Chicago. Three United States secret
service agents are taking him 10 Wash
ington. He was run down by a Cuban
spy.
Crandall says: Il am an American by
birth, and formerly lived In New YORK.
City. served In the United States navy
on the cruiser San Francisco, where
MAZE study Of mines and tOrpedoes.
II went TO Lima, Peru, where ! entered
the employ Of Grace & Co, Of London,
In their nitre beds. Emil l.. Castillo,
agent OF the Spanish government. In.
duced me 10 20 10 Cuba as an expert on
the coast defense for General Weyler.
II began laying the mines and tor
pedoes early in the spring Of 1895. I'm
ished about year later. My work was
performed at night In all seventeen
mines and ten torpedoes were placed.
The mines were made In England, and
the torpedoes In Italy.
"When the work was completed. / made
chart showing the location Of all mines
and torpedoes and submitted II 10
Weyler.
Il was then directed to place three
mines and seyen torpedoes In the harbOr
at MatanEas. This was completed early
last July. When finished weyler or
dered me TO place an additional mine
near buoy No. 4, Havana, which made q
complete chain Of mines about the hAr.
Dor.
"Weyler asked me II II were possible
for ship TO enter the harbor or leave
with the chain Of torpedoes and mines
there. showed him my rough chart,
and he especially directeds dseyeral changes,
especially In the channels opposite the
navy yard.
"When my work was done he handed
me passport to Key West and assured
me that l would not receive pay until
the drst mine or torpedo was used.
II remained at Havana until February
10, when went TO Key West, where |
stayed until March 3. on which date !
received my last Spanish gold from
Havana.
"After the Maine was blown up kept
In hiding with q cOlored family near
Fort Taylor. As soon as received word

steamer for Miami.
The Maine was anchored at the ideni.
cal buoy where Weyler ordered me to
place the additional mine. From Miami
| went TO Nashville, where received the
following letter from Havana, dated
March l, 1898:
Destroy all evidence. Go to New York.
Ticket for London awaits you there.
Signed DIAZ."
This was from Weyler's long trusted
adiutant and spy, who executes all the
edicts issued by Weyler from Spain"
Crandall AYERS he was directed TO as
sumo the name OF Kscadsro by Weyler.
He has several letters from Weyler re-
garding his work and a military pass
from that officer, which he turned over
TO the United States secret service agents.
