KNIFE OF AN ASSASSIN.
Empress of Austria the Victim of an
Italian Anarchist.


Italian Anarchist.
Geneva, Switzerland, Sept. 13.-The
empress of Austria was assassinated
near the Hotel Beauriyage this after
noon by an anarchist, who was arrested.
1t appears that her majesty was
walking from her hotel to the landing
place of the steamer at about l O'Clock,
when an Italian anarchist suddenly APP
peared and stabbed her to the heart.
The empress fell, and was carried 10
the Hotel Beaurivage, where she ex-
pired.
The stretcher upon which the en-
press was carried to the hotel was hast
lily improvised with oars and sail cloth.
Doctors and priests were Immediately
summoned, and telegram was sent to
Emperor Francis Joseph.
All efforts to revive her majesty
were unavailing, and she expired at
O'Clock. The medical examination
shows that the assassin must have used
a small triangular file. After striking
the blow he ran along the Rue Des
Alpes, with the evident intention OF
entering the square Los Alpes, but be-
fore reaching it he was seized by two
cabmen, who had witnessed the crime.
They handed him over to boatman
and gendarme, who conveyed him to
the police station.
The prisoner made no resistance.
He even sang as he walked along, say
ing II did it," and "She must be
dead"
At the police station he declared that
he was starving anarchist, with nc
hatred for the poor, but only for the
rich"
Later, when taken to the courthouse
and interrogated by magistrate in the
presence of three members Of the local
government and the police officials, he
pretended not to know French and re.
fused to answer questions. The police,
on searching him. found a document
showing his name to be Luigi Loa-
Chini, born in Paris in 1874, and an
Italian soldier.
A great crowd quickly assembled
around the Hotel Beaurivage, where
the officials proceeded after interrogat-
ing the prisoner. The police searched
the scene of the crime for the weapon,
and the accomplices of the assassin.
1t appears that a boatman noticed
three persons closely following the en-
press, who was making purchases in
the shops.
The local government. Immediately
on receiving the news of her majesty q
death, half-masted the flag on the hotel
deville (the municipal ofice), and pro-
ceeded in body to the Hotel Beauriv-
age, as token of respect.
The excitement increased, and MANY
OF the shops on the Kursaal we've closed.
The empress wound was just over
the left breast. There was hardly any
bleeding. A priest was secured in time
to administer the extreme unotion.

IN SPITE OF PEACE.
Ahe filippinos still waging War
Against the Spaniards.

Against the spaniards.
London, Sept. 13.-The Manila cor.
respondent OF the Times, telegraphinp
september 8, says: The insurgent con.
quest of the island OF Luzon Is ranidlv
approaching completion. Recent an.
thentic reports announce the capture of
successive Spanish positions, and at
present the rebels control every foot Of
the island except Manila, Cavite and a
small portion of the province of Albain
Ihey hold over 5000 Spanish prisoners
ana have recently captured several
thousand rifles, some cannon a LARGO
quantity of ammunition, and several
armed stands. The Spaniards held ont
yalorously, but were fighting against
the inevitable.
1t is undeniable that the action q,
the insurgents in pursuing the carr.
palgn after an armistice was declared

destruction Of property, and has ami.
hilated their every claim to be consid.

ing loss of over $1,000, 900 in prop

recovered, while score or more are

The fire originated from gasoline

and fercely that it was impossible to
save even clothing.

FIRE At NEW WESTMINSTER
Business Portion Of the Town
Destroyed.
BAD FIRES IN SEVERAL CITIES
Arizona Mining Town Burned, With
Loss of Life-Fire at Red Bluf-Loss
at New Westminster Two Million.

Vancouver, B. c., Sept. l3.-The
business portion of New Westminster
was totally destroyed by fire this morn
ing. The property loss will exceed
$4,000 900.
Despair and suffering are the lot of
hundreds of homeless people. Food,
clothing and aid of all kinds is being
hurriedly dispatched from Vancouver to
the ill-fated "Royal" city.
1t is not known how many people
lost their lives, but it is feared several
have been burned to death. Campbell,
a fireman, fell off the root of burning
building and was killed. A woman
dropped dead from fright. One woman,
who had been confined two weeks ago,
died while they were moving her from
burning house, while another, suffer-
ing from typhoid fever, who had been
twice removed from residences which
were in the burning zone, did not sur
vive the shock
So extremely fierce were the flames
that apples on the trees on sides of the
street opposite the burning houses were
roasted.
Three river steamers were destroyed,
the Edgar, Gladys and Bonaccord.
Every industry save the big Royal
City planning mills and the Cleve Can
ming Company has been wiped out.
The Canadian Pacific railway station
and bridge across Fraser river were
also burned.
The fire started about midnight on
the river front, and was caused by a
spark from a steamer. Famed by a
fierce gale, the flames leaped with such
rapidity that within three hours 10
streets were abalaze. The fire was
first noticed at Brakeman & Kerr's
wharf, on Front street. From there it
spread down to the Canadian Pacific
railway depot and crossed the street
at that point. From there it went up
the street, taking in the other side OF
Front street, and Columbia street, the
chief business thoroughfare of the CITY.
Block after block caught fire, and in a
few hours there was nothing left of
what had been the business portion of
New Westminster.
The wind was blowing turiously down
Fraser river towards the mouth. If il
had been blowing the other way the
whole of the Catholic church buildings,
convent and hospital and other struc.
lures, would have been burned.
This morning there was no water sup.
ply for the use of the burned-out citi.
zens. There was not single butcher,
baker or provision shop that was not
destroyed, and there was only one small
hotel saved.
Some of the burned-out people re.
tired in the early hours this morning
in the open air in front of the school
house. They covered themselves with
blankets and lay down to sleep under
the sky.
The loss is roughly estimated al
50, 500, 900, and the insurance at ST..
100000.
Bank vaults withstood the fire. One
insurance company's vault was blown
up by gunpowder.
A citizens committee has beer
formed in Vancouver to give relief tc
the sufferers.

Gently in San Francisco of typhoid
pneumonia, contracted while at Camp
Merritt as a member of the United
States regulars, will take steps to have
charges preferred against Gen. Otis,
now with the Ameican forces in the
Philippines. Metcalf said: II am
member of an organization made up of
people all over the country who have
lost relatives or friends who had en-
listed in the regular army for service
in the Philippines. These men died
through exposure on that pestilential
spot known as Camp Merritt. Each
member Of this organization will bring
pressure to bear on his congressman
to have charges brought against Gen.
Otis, who located the camp where it
was. The organization Is large and
influential one, and / believe 1t will
be able to accomplish the object for
which it was formed" Metcalf recent
ly returned from San Francisco, where
he went to bring home the remains of
his son. He states that he investigated
the conditions of Camp Merritt, and
that a more unhealthful spot for a
camp could not have been found on the
Pacific coast.
