DEATH BY A S1lETTO.
Empress Elizabeth Of Austria Killed
by Assassin.
ACT OF A BRUTAL ANARCHIST,
Blow Given From Behind by the Das-
tardly Coward--Acknowledge Awful
Deed-Switzerland, Where 1t Occurred,
Shaken to Its Foundations.

GENEVA, Switzerland, Sept. 12.-The
Empress Elizabeth of Austria was as
sassinated here Saturday afternoon by
an Italian anarchist. She was stabbed
with a stiletto. Her Majesty was
walking from her hotel to the landing
place of the steamer at about / o'clock
when the anarchist suddenly ap-
preached and stabbed her to the heart.
The empress fell, got up again, and
was carried to the steamer uncon-
scious. The boat started, but, seeing
the empress had not recovered consci-
business, the captain returned and the
emperess was carried to the Hotel
Beaurivage, where she expired.
The murderer Is a man named Luc-
choni. He was born in Paris Of Ital =
ian parents.
The prisoner offered no resistance.
He even sang as he walked along, say
ing: II did It," and "She must be
dead" At the police station he de-
clared that he was Shaving anarch-
list, with no hatred for the poor, but
only for the rich"
Later, when taken to the court house
and Intercepted by magistrate, he
pretended not to know French and re-
fused to answer questions. The police
on searching him found document
showing his name to be Luigi Laochi-
nj, born in Paris in 1874, and an Ital-
ian soldier.
1t appears that boatman noticed
three persons closely following the en-
press, who was making purchases in
the shops.
The assassin. while being interro-
gated by the magistrate, said he came
to Geneva with the intention of killing
the Due d'Orleans, but the latter had
already left.
Luccesi Tor Laochin) followed the
duke to Evian, about twenty-five miles
north of Geneva, on the lake, where he
was again unsuccessful.
He then returned TO Geneva and
learned from the papers of the pres
ence of the Austrian empress Friday
he logged her footsteps, but found no
opportunity to carry out his purpose,
though he watched the Hotel Bivage
all day.
Saturday afternoon about half past
1, he said, he saw the valet of the em-
press leaving the hotel and going to-
ward the landing. He inferred from
this that the empress was going to
take the steamboat, and he hid himself
behind tree on the quay, with the
file concealed in his right sleeve
In few minutes the empress, ac-
companied by her lady of honor, ap-
peared and the assassin struck the file
home.
Luccesi confessed that he had been
an anarchist since he was ID years old.
"If all anarchists did their duty, as
I have done mine,'' he said, bourgeois
society would soon disappear"
He admitted that he knew the crime
was useless, but said he committed it
for 'the sake of example"
In spite of minute searching. the
weapon of the murderer has not been
found.

New st. Louis Headquarters.

The Baltimore & Ohio and Baltimore
& Ohio South Western railroads nave
secured a long lease on the magnln.
cent room at Broadway and LOCUST
streets in st. Louis for the purpose OF
consolidating under one roof the
freight and passenger offices now To-
Gated in that city. The new location
is the ground floor of the American
Central building with G5 feet on Broad
way and IS feet on Locust street. Inc
ticket office will be in. the center, front
ting on Broadway, the freight depart
ment on one side and the passenger
department on the other, with General
Agent Orr's office in the rear. 1t is
quite probable that these offices VIII
be even handsomer than the b. q U

The report of the committee on PEN
sions in part is as follows:
Resolved That In view Of the repeated COM
plants of the unfair construction Of the PEN
sion law and of the making and enforcement Of
rules which are In violation Of the law and In
imical to the interests of applicants, impels
this encampment to call upon Comrade William
Mckinley, President of the United States, to
exercise his authority and to see that the law
is executed in a spirit Of fairness, justice and
hberality.
Resolved, That all rules which tend to him
der and embarraSs the all owapce of honest PEN
sion claims should be repealed, and we ask the
President that no use his authority to cause
those whose duty it is to execute the laws to so
perform their duty as to do justi Q to the SOL
diers and administer the law SO rs not to OBJ
struct the prosecution Of pensions by teohnic al
requirements not within the province OF the
law and which are only calculated to hinder
and obstruct in the effort to obtain lawful PEN
sions.
Resolved That the rule Of the pension office
by which widow is debarred from pension II
she has an income Of 500 per year is unjust,
and we ask the President that the order be ab-
rogated and the minimum income debarring
from pensions be fixed OF not less than 500 per
annum. In this competition we desire to inform
the President that very early in his admins.

be raised to $780, but 1t never materialized.
Resolved, That we ask for the re-establish-
ing Of order 1874, which was enforced under the
Harrison regime This order, in simple terms,
took cognizance in rating mans pension OF

abrogated by the last administration, and 10
was held that to be entitled to the lowest rate

no pension at all. This iniquitous rule Is
maintained up To this hour, and we submit 1t Is
not such treatment as we had right to expect
from Comrade William Mckinley.

Treasures From the Deep.

very curious cargo has just been
brought to Cork on the steamer May
flower 1t was nothing less than a
dozen cannon that have been raised
from the bottom of the sea in Dunwor-
ley Bay, off the coast of Cork, after
having lain there for upwards of 300
years. For the past fortnight diving
operations have been going on in Dun
worley Bay with view to the recov-
cry Of certain treasure sunk in Span
ish vessels that went to the bottom over
800 years ago.
The facts of what led up to this re-
markable discovery are of interest 1t
appears that two well-known Cork gem
tlernen, Messrs. j. Mulcahy and T. r.
Holland, received precise information
about two Spanish ships-one of them
a pirate-that were lost in Dunworley
Bay over 800 years ago, and, after
consulting with Mr.. Ensor, salvage
contractor, of Queenstown, who placed
his diving gear at their disposal, they
formed small syndicate to explore
the bay and seek for the treasure of
the sunken ships They secured for
this purpose the services of Patrick
Collins, a diver well-known in connec-
ton with the raising Of the lightship
Putin, that foundered some time ago
off the coast of Cork, and placed the
superintendent of the operations in
the hands Of Captain jeremiah Collins,
an able and experienced navigator.
with the result that the sunken Spanish
ships have been discovered, and the
dozen cannon brought to the surface
and landed at Cork. The information
received by Messrs. Mulcahy and Hol-
land as to the whereabouts of the
sunken ships was evidently most per-
feet, and very little difficulty was ex-
perienced in locating the vessels at the
bottom of Dunworley Bay. 1t is now
believed that ere long there Will be
brought to the surface something or
far greater intrinsic value than old
cannon, and it is intended to employ
dynamite to aid. in securing the buried
treasure which the sunken ships are
reputed to contain. The cannon are
in a. wonderful state of preservation,
after being 300 years in the water.
Messrs. Mulcahy and Holland certainly
deserve every success for their energy
and enterprise in the matter-Corres-
nondence of the Irish Times.
